The Recent ELECTIONS.

From the Methodist Advocate
The recent elections in the South have
hardly been mentioned IN the press
dispatches or Southern papers, and
when spoken Of, the facts have been
concealed or bat half stated except in
reference to Alabama. In North Car
DINA the Republicans have made con-
siderable gain, adding largely to their
number of members in the Legisla-
ture, and have made it apparent that
they will elect several members of
Congress, next November, if there is
anything like a fair election and hon
est returns. In Kentucky the Re
publicans elected a large number Of
county officers in various parts of the
State. In Tennessee the Independ-
ents have made themselves felt, car
rying the elections in Memphis and
Nashville, and in Chattanooga the
Republicans were victorious, but in
Alabama the bulldozers had every
thing their own way. If the people
of the South rally and shake off the
rebai leadors thy VIII save them
selves and the country from tnmeas-
ured harm. Every Christian ought
to remember the country before God,
daily, and do the duties Of II citizen
on Christian principle, and every pa
triot and honest mani ought to give
the most careful attention TO the in
terests of the nation and TACT ihtelli-
gently in its behalf. The people
must measure up to the responsible.

into ruin as in 1861, al IT,

A Chattanooga Defsulter.

Commercial: "Charles Moore, for
merly of Gallipolis, Ohio, who has
been in the employ Of d. kirkpatrick
& Co., at this place for the past three
years, has abscondcd with upwards OF
81 600 of his employers money. Young
Moore has always been trusted by his
employer, and until a few days since
was never suspected Of dishonesty.
Two or three weeks ago he returned
from n trip through Alabama, and a
few days afterward started out on a
collecting our in Il private conveyance
Of Mr.. Kirkpatrick's. For a few days
he reported promptly, then, however,
he seems to have left the team, and
travelling by railroad rs fast AS possible,
went to a number Of places where per-
sons were indebted TO Mr.. kirkpatrick,
representing that the latter was in
special need of money, and forcing
collections as fast as possible. Mr.,
Kirkpatrick hearing of his presence on
the Selma, Rome s. Dalton road, and
knowing that he should not be there,
started after him, but failed to catch
him. lie traced him as far as Decatur,
Ala, from whence it is supposed that
he took the train for either Nashville
or Memphis.

As yellow fever is raging now almost
throughout the South, people can not
DO too careful about keeping their
premises clean. Although the citizens
of Cleveland pride themselves on iiv-

they cannot afford to let such a disease
comet in their midst. Clean up your
back yards and every other place that
catches filth, and let US be on the safe
eide.
