MKNrHIs. March q. 1873.
To the EdlsOr Of the Ledger;
The Montgomery Advertiser was wrong
in saying DR.. Baldwin predicted that all
war would end with the fall Of Turkey,
He says; Russia will conquer Turkey
early in 1878: England aud Turkey will
unite against Russia; many efforts will
be made to check Russia's designs; yet
Russia will take all the countries this
side the crossings, and is then to pass
over into Asia. And then the Russian
empire has still two great 6nal works to
do: The FIRST is to destroy the Roman
church in Europe, and the second is to
attack the United States, which will
occur some time near 1878, aud in doing
so both Russia and monarchy will be
utterly destroyed. We may look to 1878
as the victory over monarchy; as the
possession OF the world by the Christian
Democracy, and as the end Of war for.
and the erection Of the milleunial
republic
The United States are poorly prepared
as a nation, by d~efenses, to resist such an
invader; bpt we are careless; we would
as soon exhort the man in The moon as
to exhort our nation to be ready for the
danger before it comes; they would con.
slider as as afflicted with lunOcy to preach
truth the predictions of the scrip.
lures, Yet, within twenty.six years from
the date We are writing, Qs53), the most
awful tragedies ever imagined will be re-
by the world. 1t is to be the fin.
point Of the indignation of the
Lord, that was to rest upon the world for
Sc many years. 1t is to be the battle of
the wine.press; the battle of Arranged.
den, and the battle of the great day.
The United States must be the battle
field. Our policy will be to let them en-
ter the country and reach the Mississippi
or the Ohio valley, and then pour hail
and birthstone into them. We shall
fight with certainty Of success"

We see, a candidate for attorney-general
in Memphis. Judge Anderson not only
proved himself to be an excellent and
gallant soldier when soldering was any

since shown himself to be q learned and
able lawyer. As judge Of the Common
Law Court in Memphis he earned a high
reputation, while, as an advocate at the
bar, and patient, close, indeiatigable
worker he has few if any superiors.
Judge Anderson has many friends in
this county, who, knowing we'll his emf.
Dent fitness for the position, would re-
joice at his election to the important
Office Of attorney general. Should Judge
Anderson be elected it will be the most

PREACHING BUT NOT PRACrIcIEe.

Two or three papers in the State have
been urging and sdmonishiug the Dem
ocratie party to eschew politics in the
the coming canvass for judges of the
Sdprene Court. Chief Of this class is
the Knoxville Chronicle, the only avowed
daily Republican paper in the State,
which tells as that there should be no
politics in q Judicial canvass, and that
only the best and purest men should be
selected for the bench regardless of
their political preferences, if indeed
q man is ct to wear the ermine
who has en- opinion. We all know
that the Supreme beach of the United
States IS far ss chosen since the Re
publicahs came into power is non
partisan. Grant never nominated
anybody that had opinions. BE merely
picked up old chums or ewly.discovered
men, that nobody ever heard Of before,
or after they went out Of Office. The
Chronicle has read so much good advice
to the Democrotic party in the last two
months that we were led to anticipate
that it would practice some Of its own
precepts. But it seems that all this solic-
itude wal meant for the wicked Demo
Gratis alone, who are politely invited to
disband while the Republicans remain
solid in the field. If Supreme judges
should be nominated and elected without
the employment Of political agencies,
the policy should be applied likewise
to the election of chsfcellors and
Circuit Court judges. Yet the Chron-
icle Of the 29sh ult. publishes a full
report of the proceedings Of a Re-
publican executive committee which met
at Greenville last week, and called a
judicial convention to assemble at Green
vile on the 18th of May and nominate
q candidate for judge Of the First dis.
triet. The Chronicle has q potent iudu-
ence in that end of the State, where the
Republicans are in the ascendancy and
have nearly everything their own way.
Yet these proceedings are published
without q word of protest or advice
about the beauties Of non-partisansLip.
We fear that our cotemporary has neg
ected to train up the young Republicans
in the way they should go, aud that they
are almost as liable to mix up a little
politics 10 their conventions as the
Democrats. If, however, the Rspubli-
can judicial convention, which meets on
the 18th Of next month, should nomi-
nate a worthy and capable mar Of
Democratic antecedents and proclivi.
ties, however non-psrtisau, then
we shall conclude that all this
good advice and solicituds proceeds
from a sincere desire to elevate the judi
ciary to the high standard it was meas
ured by il the good old days when
judges we're elected on account Of their
ability and good character to serve for
life or during good behavior. To this
kind Of a policy We will eheerlully give
our support.

well known Madame Restelle had been
found dead early this morning in the
bathroom in her mansion in Fifth aven.
ne. Elk judge Stewart, of the district
attorneys Office, was called by the wo-

formed that she retired late last night
feeling very respondent about her trial,
which was to have taken place to-day.
She rose in the nigh. and went into the
bathroom where she fell dead. The
madame stated to a friend last night
that she did not care what might result
of the trial so far as she herself was
concerned. She only cared for her rep.
utation and the feelings Of her grand
children. The case was called in court
to day and adjourned.
