POLITICAL INTREGUES IN TEN
NESSEE.

$50 abroad to hear home news"
is not a bad old prOverb, and per-
haps there may be some truth in
the following paragraph clipped
from the Tennessee correspondence
of the New York Herald. True or
not, it is certain that intrigues of all
sorts have been in progress within
the ranks of both the National In
dependent and the Republican party
in Tennessee ever since the three
nominations, and it is not at all inn
probable, as this writer seems to
think, that the Independents and
the Radicals have been cOnfabulat-
ing together in the interest of HOuk
and Pettibone in the East and of
Kellar in the West. The Demo-
cratic party has nothing to do with
these complications; its business is
to elect its own nominees and it will
do so:
NASHVILLE, Sept. u, 1878.
The Nationals and SOre-headed Republic
cans are indignant over what they term the
unprecedented audacity of two white and
two black members of the State Republican
Executive Committee, with a pocketful OF
proxies nominating DIR. Wight, of Chatham
Ooga, as Republican candidate for Governor
They assert that this is an attempt to make
Wight fOOtstOOl for the elevation of Petit
bone (rep.), from the First, and HOuk (rep.l,
from the Second District; that il simply
means Republican organization in those
two districts, without caring continental
about Wight's defeat. This hybrid cOmbina-
ton, the Nationals and diSaffected Republic
cans, held an indignation meeting here this
evening and sent a dispatch to Wight, urg-
ing him to come TO Nashville on the next
train, and telling him if he knew the man
ner of his nomination he would withdraw
his acceptance OF il.
WHAT THE NATIONALS WANT.
The Republican leaders assert that the
Nationals want to make the field clear for
\. j. Kellar to run tor Congress in the Tenth
District, and to do this Wight must be got
ten off the track that East may become the
GubernatOrial fOOtstOol and thus insure
Keller'S election. East is understood to be
sick of the nomination Ofthe Nationals and
is ready to throw up the sponge upon the
least prcteXt. Neither the National nor Re-
publican candidate for Governor has q
; shadow of a chance for election, and If they
run the race through il will be only as cats
paws TO Congressional aspirants.
Since printing the above we are
officially informed of the withdraw
al of the Independent candidate,
Judge East, from the contest.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

CRYSTAL PALACE.
One of the prettiest sights l have
seen was a grand display of fire
works at Crystal Palace, on the
night of June 1st-the grandest
thing of the kind by far that [ have
ever seen. Sky rockets and Roman
candles by the hundreds balloons
with magnesium lights that lit up
the country for miles around almost
as bright as day, and when they
had f1oated about 800 feet high they
would burst and send off a shower
of rockets and stars great num-
Der of shells sent up in quick success
sion about 800 feet high, burst and
scatter in all directions a shower of
brilliant stars of variegated colors !;
golden clouds, set with jewels, float
ing about; a large cloud of floating
stars playing grand harlequinade I;
a brilliant, fiery cascade some 40
feet high; a set piece of the Paris
Exposition brilliantly Illuminated,
together with a large portrait of
President MacMahon, etc., etc., etc.
magnificent.
The Crystal Palace itself is an
immense building of glass, covering
about 20 acres of ground, the build
ing and grounds enclosed covering
100 acres. 1t is the building that
was built for the Worlds Exhibit
ton held here in 1851, and it is filed
with great many articles of beauty,
elegance and ornament, a perfect
show of itself.

LONDON IN GENERAL.
/ have rambled about the House
of Parliament, Westminster Abbey,
st. Paul's Church, etc.-large, grand,
imposing buildings. The bridges
quite number) across the Thames
are immense structures. Picture
galleries, museums, parks, London
Tower, public gardens, etc., furnish
all the sightseeing one could wish
for. The general aspect of the city
of London is quite different from
that of large American city. Lon
don streets are narrower, shorter,
more crooked than streets in Amer
| lean cities-much more so than in
Chicago or Philadelphia. All
through the busiest portion of Lon.
don there are no street railways
but the want is principally supplied
| by omnibuses and cabs, which KEEP
up an eternal rattle over the cobble
stone pavements. There are some
few street railways on the south
side of the river. They call them
''tramways" here.

The Anderson Decision,
franklin SUM-


We have felt certain, ever since the de-
cision OF the Anderson case was announced,
that the law must have been clearly in favor
of the accused, and, since we have seen the
grounds for the decision and the reasoning of
the court, we think it SO plain, and that it
appeals so directly to the common sense, that
its correctness cannot longer be doubted by
any reasonable, unprecedented, mind. 1t
seems strange to us that the Attorney
General did not discover these de-
fects in his information before going
to trial. 1t is quite unfortunate for
the State and people that these men have to
go free on account of a technicality, but we
do not belong to that class of men who would
have the Supreme Court of our State violate
their oaths or recklessly override the plain
letter of the law simply because these men
were charged with political offense and the
court happened to belong to that party
against which it was committed. Every &C
cused party has the right to know exactly
what he is accused of, and to demand that the
law be strictly complied with by the prosecu-
ton, and ii this is not done, courts, under
their solemn oaths, can do nothing but re-
lease them.

the world. 1t was the second
president" who prompted and sane
toned the marshaPs choice of the
Jules Simon ministry, in order to
have a plausible excuse for the act
Of the 10th Of May. After that
date the second president, who had
all along been secretly in power,
came openly to the front.
Help came from a quarter in
which few had thought of looking
for it. PouyerQuertier was one Of
those who were seriously alarmed
at the turn events were taking. He
is man of fortune, and he did not
want to make himself responsible
to the extent of his means for the
illegal collection of taxes levied
without parliamentary vote. He
held a consultation with his friends,
and at last at their pressing solici-
tations, he undertook to bell the
cat-in other words, to get the let
ter. He left Paris, he saw DeBro-
glie, and he got the le'ler, by what
means | have not been able to as
certain. If one-half of the things
that are said about DeBroglie's
present financial position be true,
the task could not have been SO
difficult as might have been i'm
agined. He is deeply in debt, and
he has besides as much reason to
dread social as does the marshal
political exposure. But these, !
confess, are uere guesses. The one
thing certain is that Pouyer-Quer-
tier got the letter, and placed it in
the marshals hands.
MacMahon was free.
