PRESIDENTIAL PROGNOSTICA-
TIONS.
Opinions Of Tennessee's congressman
Regarding the Contest of 1859.


Regarding the Contest of 1850.
The New York Herald Of last Sat
urday contained seven and one-half
columns Of interviews with Congress
men in regard to the Presidential
contest Of 1880. Tenuessee's Repre-
resentatives thus expressed themselves:
Mr.. George CT. Dibrell, Third dis
trict.-'I am for Thurman first, last
and all tie time, [ speak my mdi-
vidual preference in this. Hendricks
has many friends in Tennessee. In
short, | think the delegation will be
divided Tilden is not without friends
in any State. Two newspapers in my
district have come out for him recent
ly. | think, however, he is not the
choice of the majority Of the Demo
Gratis Of the State. We have a great
many (ireenbackers in Tennessee, and
they are all opposed to Tilden."
MIR. j. NJ. Bright, Of the Fifth dis
trict.- IF we (the Democracy nomi-
nate Tilden we viii be beaten, and l
am not for him. The people Of my
section prefer a Western man."
Mr.. John F. House, of the Sixth
Tennessee Observation-Disclosures nomina-
ton is altogether impracticable {; there
are a good many Western and South
ern States we could not carry for
him. Our people prefer a Western
man. As to the greenback movement
in Tennessee, it depends a good deal
on the nomination we make in 1880
whether it viii hurt the Democrats or
not.
Mr.. W. c. Whitthorne, Seventh
Tennessee district.-''The Democracy
Of my district favor the nomination Of
any Western man in accord with the
grcenback platform Of the Southern
Democracy Personally, l have at
all times preferred a Western man, be-
cause he would represent the interests
Of the producer as against the middle
man and consumer. l think. how
ever, there is a growing sentiment
among the masses in favor Of the To-
nomination Of Mr.. Tilden. General
Grant would, in my opinion, at one
and the same time be the strongest
and weakest candidate the Republi-
cans could nominate, and this is also
true Of Mr. Tilden.
Mr.. Casey Young, Tenth Tennessee
district.-''I do not know much about
the sentiment of people at home. I'm
less there has beer a recent change,
there are very few few for Tildcn. The
South will, however, vote for anybody
the Democratic party dominates. I'll
had the nomination of the ticket |
would place either Thurman or Bayard
at the head Of it, and give Bill Hol-
man. Of Indiana, second place. l con-
slider Judge Holman the leading states
man Of the day, and would propose
him for the head of the ticket, but
there is 40 possibility Of his nomina-
ton"

plain Of the cemeteries because there
constantly arises therefrom an abomi-
nable stencil which pervades the at
mosphere, forces itself into the dwell
ings near at hand, and, in addition,
attracts swarms Of flies, which after
leasting in the graveyard, come into
the sleeping and dining-rooms of the
houses. These cemeteries are the bu-
rial ground Of several distinct classes
of people; the dead from the parish
prison are buried there, the dead from
the bows house Of refuge, from the
city insane asylum, from the home for
the aged and infrm, from the small
pox hospital, and from two or three
institutions for the colored people, all
the pauper dead of the city, and the
dead buried by the two coroners. all
the coronors' eases and INDECENT dead
from Algiers. and ali poor non-Catho-
lie white and colored people whose
friends cannot pay for a better place,
are there rammed and jammed up to-
gether until not an inch Of ground is
unoccupied. Thus, it is seen, these
two small grayeyards are the only
places of interment open to the dead
Of about sixty thousand persons,
among whom, for several causes, the
mortality is very great.
Yet, although the two yards are
filed to the very gates, the interments
continue as rapidly as ever. To make
room for the new corpses the oldest
denizens Of this city Of the dead must
be dug up and used to assist in cover
ing others in turn. 1t is calculated
that in eight or nine months at the
farthest, both cemeteries are complete
" renewed: accordingly, now the time
has come for the resurrection Ct the
victims of the last epidemic.

Nashville Christian Advocate /:
With the currency resumption let
there be also a resumption Of the sim
plicity and economy of our fathers.
This is the resumption that will bring
plenty to our homes and tranquility to
the fevered spirits Of our people. With
the downfall of initiation, let shoddy-
ism, vulgar display, extravaganza and
speculation be banished from the
land. Let simple tastes and modest
equipage be more than ever the mark
of true gentility.

the opinion, as well as the work.

to be rewarded.
Since writing the above, a rich
vein of soft, sweet, freestone
water has heen struck, and the

came gushing out, and on being
tested showed to be of a tenn

These facts teach a lesson like

should not be allowed to grow
so thickly as to exclude a fair

part of the tree. The distance

the size ofeven the same variety
of tree varies more or less with
the climate. Less complaint
would be heard about non-fruit-

sunlight was allowed between
the rows of the trees, and the
soil annually supplied sufficient
food for material to restore that
used in the production of large
crops of fruits.-Ex.
