fesses to a list of crimes long enough
and startling enough to place him in the
front rank of criminals of the day. but
the most interesting part of his state

The Washington Star says it is au-
thoritatiYely announced that the Presi-
dents civil service order remains in full
force and operation. Its provisions are
to be strictly enforced in all sections of
the country. Persons holding federal
positions will not be permitted. to take
part in caucuses, primary meetings for
conventions. They are to be allowed
to support any candidate they choose
after he is nominated, and assist in any
way that will not interfere with the
proper discharge of their official duties.
This statement is made in reply to nu-
merous inquiries from various sections
of the country as to whether or not the
President intended to enforce the pro-
visions of his civil service order. The
President has as yet found no reason to
Justify the revocation Of that order as
first issued, that it is for the best inter
ests of the public service therefore, he
proposes to enforce it. 1t has hereto
fore been repeatedly stated in the Star
that voluntary contributions by office
holders to the campaign fund are not
considered by the President a violation.

The Grain Crop.

St. Louis Republicans IN early all re-
ports we receive from the interior of
Missouri and Illinois of the grain crop
now being harvested concur in repre-
Senting it as unusually fine. The reap
ing in the lower part of these States be-
gan in the midst of the rain that pre-
vailed from the first to the tenth of the
month, and there is some complaint
about the sprouting of grain cut at that
time but the rainy spell has been over
for a week, and the weather is peculiar
ly favorable for harvest work. Nearly
all the wheat in Missouri is cut and
shocked, much of it is stacked, and
some has been threshed out and is in
our market. 1t proves to be of good
quality, very full, plump and fair and
free from intermixture. The crop last
year was large, but that of the present
year will be still larger and better. 1t
will be so large as to make living I'M
usually cheap, even after we shall have
shipped to Europe as much of the sur
plus as can afford to pay the cost OF car

Judge John L. T. SDeed has been So
iourning for a week past at Tate Springs,
and expects to spend a month in that vi
cinity. He is an applicant for the office
of Attorney General and State Report
er, a place that years ago he satisfacto-
riIy filled for six years. Judge Sneed is
pre-eminently qualified for the place,
aud we hazard nothing in saying that
his selection would receive the most
cordial approval of the bar and of the
people of all sections of the State. The
Attorney General will be selected by
the Judges Of the Supreme Court to be
elected at the August elections, four OF
whom have been associated with Judge
Sneed for eight years past, and the fifth,
Hon. w. T. Cooper, was Sneed's COM
petitor for the Attorney Generalship be-
fore the people, some twenty-five years
ago. BY the selection of Judge Sneed,
the State would secure competent Off
Ger, and the Judges have the opportuni-
ty of rendering graceful tribute, four
of them, to their old associate, and the
other to a worthy competitor in the days
when both were young. When the pub
lie interest and the public feeling and
the feeling of the actors so happily con-
verge, we can say emphatically, it is a
most fitting thing to be done, and all the
people saw Amen.

A CoNGREssIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democracy of this part Of the
First Congressional District were very
much astonished to see in the last issue
of the Jonesboro' Journal call for
Democratic Congressional Convention,
to meet at Jonesboro', on the 21st of
August next. Who was consulted on
the subject, and whose wishes and feel
ings were considered in fixing the time
and place of holding the Convention,
we cannot say; but so far as we can
learn, the advice of the Democrats in
the lower end of the District was not
asked nor their wishes consulted in the
matter. We are informed that no init
nation of such intended action was Civ
en- TO DR.. Magee, the member of the Elk
ecutive Committee for this county, and
we have heard of no communication in
relation to the time and place of holding
the Convention, being had with mem
bers of the Committee for any of the
lower counties of the District, and we
are confident that the action taken did
not meet their approval.
Taking into Consideration the geogra-
ply of the District, and the interests and
convenience the delegates attending the
Convention, JouesbOro' certainly is not
the proper place to hold it. Situated in
the upper end Of the District, it would
be with great inconvenience and no lit.
tie expense that delegates from the re-
mote lower counties can attend. Dele
gates from Claiborne county, for in
stance, would have nearly one hundred
miles of horseback and railroad travel
to reach the Convention a considerable
part of which could be avoided by Sc
lecting a more central point for the
meeting. If we were to consult the CON
.venieRce ef five or six of the lower cOun.
ties, alone, we should insist upon the
Convention being held at Morristown
and, indeed, the place would be far more
accessible and convenient to the larger
part of the District than Jonesboro'
but in justice to all parts of the District,
selecting the most central and accessible
point, we are of the opinion that the
Convention should be held at Greene
Vile. We Of the lower end always do
the best we can to help elect Democrat
ic candidates We think we are in full
fellowship in the party, and we don't
like to be left out in the cold in so i'm
portant matter. We hope the matter
will be reconsidered, and Greeneville
selected as the place for the Convention
to meet. This can be done without in
convenience or trouble, and by fixing
the meeting week later than the 21st
of August, abundance Of time for Coun-
ty Conventions will be had. What do

Ma RTE

Into my chamber steals the evening wind,
On every side thousand roses bloom,
The air is laden with rich perfume,
The tree-toad's croak affrights the simple hind
As he plods homewsrd from his toll to find
Rspose and rest. But brood here in gloom,
Chatting at fate, REFINING at the doom
Which like chain serf or thran doth bind
Me here, which bars me from thy sweet embrace
And doth my heart in leash of steel restrain;
And yet, muse on every lovely grace
OF thine, dear love, and clasp thee once again
By fancy's power, and imprint ON thy face
Ny kisses warm, and thus this doom disdain.
