The kansas Relief Commission"
organized for the purpose of taking
care of the fugitive negroes who
have fiocked to that State ever since
the beginning of the so-called Exc
dus," is evidently getting tired OF
it's work. Kansas is getting many
more of this kind Of population to
the acre than she can afford. A
great many have already persisted
from destitution and many more will
die as winter advances. A large
number have succeeded by dint of
great exertions in getting back to
their old homes in the South, but the
stream still continues to flow Kan
sas-ward. Now, the "exodus COM
mittee" and the Republican Cover
nor of Kansas unite in saying that
their fund is exhausted, that they
can take care of no more. and that
means must be at once devised to
save the State from this overwhelm
ing tide of negroes, who huddie in
the towns. and from the beginning
are a tax upon the people. 1t will
be next in order for the Boston or
ganization which started and encour-
aged the exodus for the purpose
OF cutting down the Southern repre-
sentation in Congress to come to
the front and tell US what they pro-
pose to do in the present emergency.
They are in honor bound to aid their
proteges. Will they do it?

TAzEwELL, Tenn, Oct 6, 1879.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
DRY! DRY!
1t is very dry; everything is needing
rain; springs have nearly all gone dry;
water courses are lower than has been
known for several years. Farmers are
further behind with their fall work than
usual. There has been but very little
wheat sown, for fear that il would not
rain to bring it up.
FIRE.
In the Sd district, on the night Of the
1st inst, the house of James Sharp was
totally destroyed, and everything with

THE DEYOCR4TIC PARTY.

IF the Democratic press of the
country is q reflex of the public sentl-
ment of the party, then Mr.. Tilden
cannot be the Democratic candidate
for President unless Robinson is re-
elected Governor of New York next
November. And if Ewing is defeat
ed 10 Ohio, then we must look else
where than ia the Northwestern
States for our Presidential candi-
date. With a "sol;d South the
Democracy lacks AZ votes of making
a President, and as Mr.. TIlden has
bis favorite in the field for the No.
vember race, and the Democracy
have their favorite in Ohio, it is very
certain we must look elsewhere than
TO New York and Ohio for aid in
making up the Al votes, if we are
defeated 10 those two States. If the
Democracy would send to our next
National Convention the right sort
Of men-men who will not take into
consideration the spoils of Office
then, we are very sure, there would
be a selection of some competent
man of the Democratic party who
would unite all the opposition Of the
Republican party, and this would
give US an easy victory. The peo-
pie of the South do not desire a can
didate for President or Vice Presi-
dent who resides in any of the States
that favored secession. They have
accepted in good faith the several
amendments to the Constitution. aud
they have a right to expect that the
honest voters, of what is called the
Union States, will unite with them
in defeating party whose success
depends solely on keeping up war
fare on the South. Let US end this
sectional strife. and we believe this
will terminate, if, in our next Con-
vention, the delegates will look sole
ly 10 the interest Of the country, set
ting aside all personal considera-

For at least quarter of a century
the advocates Of "Womau's Rights"
have urged her especial claim to the
suffrage, and for at least half that
period Congress has beer persistent
~ petitioned to grant her that pri.
vilege. Yet when Massachusetts
grants the right to woman to vote
for School Committees, requiring
only as a preliminary requisite that
those desiring to do so shall register
in advance. only 1000 women have
availed themselves of the privilege.
Tae only answer to the question
which presents itself to US Is, that
the sex is not so anxious for the bal
lot as has been represented. In the
absence OF any other solution of the
question. this must be accepted as
the true one. We are by no means
disposed TO make light Of the matter.
If there is any one question in which
the mothers Of the people would |
presumably be interested in, and in
regard to which their voice could
properly and pro6tably be heard, it
Is 10 the matter of education. Bos.
ton with a (male) voting population
OF $4,000, has only q thousand wo-
men who have signiied their inten-
tion to exercise q voice In the mat
tee.

the only place in our town at which re-
ligious public services were held last
Sunday. At the close of an able and
very impressive sermon, the pastor, Rev
d. w. Carter, before dismissing the con-
gregation, announced that he would
preach his last sermon for this confer
ence year next Sunday night, and would
leave for the Annual Conference at ABB
ingdon on Tuesday. He stated that the
officers of the church had formally in
structed him to invite the next session
of the Conference to meet at this place,
but he would feel authorized to more
earnestly use his best efforts TO have the
invitation accepted if the actionof the
Church met the approval Of the mem
bers and citizens present. After IA
vorable expression from several brothers,
the proposition instructing him to invite
the Conference to meet here in 1880 was
unanimously adopted Now, if adjunct

He entered a saddler's shop and asked
for IA twO-fOot measuring rule, romark-
ing, as he laid the bundle of iron down,
that he believed the hardware man had
cheated him in the measure and he in
tended to remeasure it himself He did
so, and to the amusement of every one
in the shop, he found that the merchant
had given him the correct number of
feet besides five or six extra ones which
had not been placed on the programme
for pay AS he passed out of the door
a bright smile was visible on his coun-
tenance, and he said he guessed the
hardware fellow had throwed in the ex-
TIA feet for good measure.
