SeCIleu IN the convention, anu now pass
on to the
PULASKI CONVENTION.
This convention was fully and ably at
tended, and you who were present will
bear me witness that l urged upon my
friends not to make any contests over
organizations, or any side questions-to
do everything to promote amity and
good feeling, and to bear all things for
the sake of peace. With this simple
counsel was willing to let my fortunes
abide your own judgment and discre-
ton. The convention easily organized
by the selection of Hon. L. w. Ewing,
of Giles county, as its chairman, with
Messrs. Perkins and Taylor as its secre-
taries. The temporary chairman, the
Hon. w. d. Fulton, of Williamson coun-
ty, had appointed a committee on Gre
dentials, composed of Thos. f. Perkins,
of Williamson; E. G.. Buchanan, of
Wayne; w A. Stewart, of Lawrence
j. j. Patterson, of Giles; Thos. 5. Eas-
ley, of Hickman, j. j. Williamson,
of Maury, and Z. d. Wilson, of
Lewis. The committee reported that
the counties were entitled to the follow
ing votes: Maury, SO; Giles, 80; Will
Hanson, 26; Wayne, Z; Lawrence, 8;
Hickman, 10; Lewis, 2. minority OF
the committee reported adversely to the
right of the Lewis county delegate pres
ent to represent that county in the con-
vention. Upon consideration of this
report of the committee on credentials,
Hickman county strennOuslV opposed
the admission of the Lewis county dele
gate. A vote was taken upon this
question with the following result:

The physicians of Pulaski say
there is no yellow fever here, and

The crowded condition OF our
columns precludes the publication
Of much interesting matter, and
among other things the proceedings
Of the Congressional Elk. Com. a:
Mt. Pleasant last Saturday. How
ever, though half column of space
would be necessary to publish the
official report in full, we can give
the result in a single word-NOTH-
ING. This committee was entrust-
ed with the interests of the party,
and it was expected and demanded
by the people that it do something
to harmonic the party, to throttle
this unseemly personal quarrel, and
to insure democratic success. He
TOIc action was expected and de
manded; but the committee unani-
mously decided TO do-nOthing. AT
ter this action, its resolution APP
pealing to the candidates to agree
among themselves is regarded by
the people as farcical. 1t was dele.
gated with power by the people to
act for them in u great emergency.
1t was the last resort. The party
was in peril The political com
plexion of one member of Congress
might decide the fate of the nation.
(fhis committee alone could save us
from che humiliation Ct defeat. 1t
Lpet under these circumstances, and
instructed the chairman to issue
a circular, Surely it did not feel
the weight of responsibility which
rested upon it. We know it is com
posed of honorable. patriotic gen
aemen, incapable of slaughtering
the patty Intentionally, but we hon
estly believe they have permitted Il
golden opportunity to pass without
proper improvement, They have
not comprebended the gravity of
the situation.

Each of the democratic candi-
dates for Congress thinks he has n
dead sarG thing on the office with
out a conyeption. And unfortu-
nately his friends think with him.
Hence the opposition 70 another
convention from both parties. We
had hoped however that the EX-
Committee would rise above these
personal considerations. II seems
however that they too are lulled by
the song that arch Hughes can't
be elected any how" Let us see
how this is. According TO the well
informed Franklin correspondent Of
she American, "Giles gives a Dem
ocraHc vote of $500 and a Repub-
lican vote % 1920; Maury has 1000
Democratic votes aud 1900 Repub
licans: williamson hss 5000 Demo
cratic votes and 1900 Republicans;
Hickman has 400 Democrats and
POO Republican votes; Lewis 200
Democratic and $50 Republicans;
Wayae 700 Democratic and 500 Re
pRblicans; end Lawrence 500 Dem
ocratlc and 100 Republican votes.
There are thGs IL tie District Is. $50
Democratic votes and 1900 Repub- !
lican votes. One-half of the Demo !
cratic vote given to each two candi- |
dates would send a Republican TO |
the House OF Representatives"

SULEINAN PASHA'S ARMY.
London. Jan. l8.-No news have been re-
ceived from Suleiman Pasha yet Harmanti,
where the Russians troops are said to have
arrived, is an important point on his line Of
retreat to Adrianople. If the Russians
have gained that point before him, as there
is no reason to doubt, he not only has Gen
Gourko's pursuit to beat back, but will be
taken in the flank by a column marching
from E;skisaghra, while the force posted At
Harmanli stands directly in his front.
Suliemau Pa,ha's force includes the divis-
ion be brought from the Bulgaria garrlsons
Of Sofia and othor towns up to Nish, and
Chakir Pasha's army from Kamarli. All,
however, are by this time badly broken and
weakened by their hasty retreat and fre-
onent encounters with their pursuers.

Constantinople, Jan. lS-The report
which was current here to-day that
the bulk of Su!eiman PAsha's army had

Suleiman's army.

MISTAKE.
Two squadrons Of Cossacks having arrived
at Tirrava Semerti to escort the Turkish
peace delegates to Kezarlik, the Turkish
commandant at the former place, believed
that an attack was intended, and
blew up the railway bridge.

Tatar Bazardjik and Phillipopolis are re-
ported to have been burned.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln, whose laborsin
the cause Of temperancsin Eastern cities.
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
Louisville, KY. closed one weeks en-
gAgement with our people last evening.
The week of labor has proved a grand
success. Arriving here ons week ago
Monday, unheralded, the Lincolns Wis
tied the Greenlaw Opera House and
found a very slim audience. Mr.. aud
Mrs. Lincoln we're introduced by Mr..
Beattie, and announced to sing Tuesday
night. The press gave a favorable an
%nouncement, aud the meetings increased
in interest, and large numbers attended
nightly; aud, it is said. on Thursday
night the largest number came forward
and signed that had heretofore. 1t will
be remembered by those who are inter
ested in the cause Of temperance that
Mr.. aud Hrs. Lincoln commenced their
lsbors in Cincinnati, Ohio, about one
year ago, and their meetings we're
crowded to overhowing, and thousands
signed the pledge 10 the two months they
we're there. Closing their engagement
in Cincinnati. Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
filled an engagement with the Offices Of
the Christian Association at Embury
Park camp meeting, Dayton. Ohio. Sep.
TENDER 80, 1877, Mr.. aud Mrs. Lincoln
we're greeted with an audience at Trinity
N. E church, Louisville, fer the first
time. The following is from the Courier.
Journal Of October l, 1877.
The unbouuded pleasure Of the audi
ence last night is sufficient testimony Of
the excellence Of the musical part OF the
exercises, aud we venture to guess that
as long as Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln con.
tinue to sing in Louisville they will have
large audiences to hear them. Mr.. Lin.
coln, besides being a professional must.
clan and q good singer land especially a
good leader is an earnest worker in the
temperance cause, to which be and his
excellent wife have devoted their lives,
and puts in his odd moments in short,
happy speeches, urging his hearers to
enroll their names on the side Of temper
snce and reform. Mrs. Lincoln person.
ally entreats the young men in the audi.
ence to come forward and sign the
pledge, and last night she went outside
Of the door during the meeting and in-
vited a nun Der Of young men to 20 10
and sign. The streets we're 90 much
blockaded by the crowd at times that the
aid Of the police was called in to keer
the way open. The clear, ringing voices
Of the singers could be %distigctlY heard
outside the church, and there was some
satisfaction even in being able to secure
a curbstone seat.
This first effort resulted in over 81 1000
signing the gospel temperance pledge ii

Of Russian Reinforce
ments at San StefanO.
Russian Authorities Enforcing Con-
scriptiOn Throughout Bulgaria

CoYsTANTINoPLE, May l4.-Thirty-twt
battalions of Russian reinforcement
have arrived at San Stefano.
The arrangement concerning the for
t~resses has failed in consequence of th,
St. Petersburg government disapprovinG
General Todleben's projected retreat t
Adrianople, the position Of Sadyk Pasha
The present Turkish cabinet c%ouncil il
therefore re-established.
News from the Mussulman %insurrec
ton state the disturbances are spreading
and that large numbers OF Alhanians are
participating with the Greeks in New
Bulgaria, who are also greatly dissatiS
fed, and have just received new occasion
for alarm in an attempt of the Russian
authorities to enroll them under q gen,
eral CONSUMPTION now being enforced
throughout Bulgaria.
LONDON, May l4.-The house OF com
mons sat from four o'clock yesterday
afternoon until 9:35 this morning. The
house was most Of the time ia committee
of the whole on the the Irish Sunday
closing bill, which various Irish members
obstructed.
Lord Harlington's resolution that no
forces be raised or kept by the crown in
time of peace, ave within India, without
the sanction of parliament, indicates q
determination on the part Of the Oppo'
sition in the house of commons to make
a united attack on what is generally
conceded to be the most vulnerable
point Of the governments policy. De
lay, however, seems to entirely favor the
government, and whether the debate on
the resolution occurs in a fortnight OF
next Monday, by either date the proba-
BILE onset on Count S~chouyalofs jour.
ney will be pretty we'll known.
Constantinople adyices indicate that
despite General Todleben's effort the
porte will not evacua;e Varna and Ba.
toum. Shumla will probably be aurren
dered, partly as satisfaction to the Rus
slams and partly because it ceased to be
of great Importance since the Russiant
established themselves on its line o
communication with Varns. Moreover,
the 80 battalion regulars now in Shuml,
are believed to be more useful in Con
stantinople.
Military critics assert that in case O.
war the British and Turks will hole
Varna and Bstoum. The Russians mus
withdraw from the Thacian peninsula,
and from the Erzeroum and Tredizont
line, and that this accounts for Genera
Todleben's insisting, even at the risk. o
prejudicing the negotiations between
London aud St. Petersburg The con
viction Is general that the object Of ap
pointing General Todlebsn commander
in-chief was that he might rescue til,
army from the unsafe position into which
the political motive of approaching Con
stsntinople had drawn it.
