wealth, he is able to control the
markets and grow richer at the ex~
pense of those who have less wealth.
He moves in the best society, and
if scandal should overtake him,
il the black truth should come out,
he is able to hush it up, and every
one disposed to expose him gets q
frown and a kick. When he dies,
when the devil forecloses his morts
gage, his friends by the hundreds
follow his brilliantly ornamented
casket to the grave his pastor
brings into requisition his best
rhetoric and gives him beautifully
pathetic "send off )" the benevo-
lent societies pass resolutions ex-
tolling his virtues and bemoaning
the loss of pillar in the Church
and in society lofty monument
is erected to his memory, and de-
voted fathers and mothers point out
his grave to their children as the
resting place of great and good
man.
The poor fellow first mentioned
dies after having lived for years a
sober, Industrious, honest, faithful
life. His family is left destitute.
His remains are encased in a rude
coffin, placed in common
dray, and hauled off to the
Potter's Field, where the pious
pastor sheds tears of grief with
few friends, reads the burial SER
vice and then the widow and or,
phans go back to their disconsolate
home. A few neighbors sympathize
with them, with ftly spoken and
well meant words, but they are
soon forgotten and left to fight for a
doubtful existence against the most
adverse circumstances. SUI is life.
The world is full Of pious frauds as
well as transformations, obscure
noblemen.

PIOUS FRAUD.

We imagine that if the devil en-
joys any one thing that men indulge
in, in the present age, more than
another, it is to see them doing his
service and wearing the ''livery of
Heaven" Such fellows give him
very little trouble. The poor
wretch, whose life is a constant
struggle with poverty; who lives in
continued dread of hearing his
children cry for bread; who is oc-
casionally, in weak moment, over
come by the tempter and quafs
from the bowl that intoxicates, but
who has a noble Christian wife,
with a heart trained to endure hard
ships for the sake of those she loves,
will require the services of his
Satanic Majesty every day in the
year and every hour in the day, to
keep him from overcoming the old
Adam that is in him and
being a good man. But
the wealthy Pharisee, who fares
sumptuously every day, who robs
the widow of her mite and OPP
presses the poor to fill his own
pocket with ill-gotten shekles';
who violates his marriage vows and
lives the life of a voluptuary; who
is too respectable to fall into con-
demnation with his fellow>men ;
who has his name on the Church
books, goes regularly to his devo-
tons and makes contributions to
benevolent institutions from the
house-top, needs no attention from
the devil. His neighbors are either
deceived in him or afraid of him,
and they throw no obstacles in his
pathway of sin. His good wife
does not suspect his in6delity to
her, and she does not admonish him.
His pastor and the deacons of
the Church are blinded by
his liberal contributions, and they
are afraid of offending him. So
he has clear sailing and the arch
fend who presides in the regions
where bad men go, has nothing to
do but to tickle his vanity, fatter
him and leave him to himself. He
is pious fraud and that is suff-
cient. So he goes on and grinds
the poor. By virtue of his superior

State which claim that they have
no influence over the people, mean
ing the masses of the Democratic
party.
Ex-Gov. James D. Porter is sound
State credit man, and a gentleman
whose integrity stands high as any
man, but we remember that reso-
luton endorsing the wisdom and
patriotism of his administration
was passed in the last Democratic
State Convention over considerable
opposition, and after personal ap-
peals to those who were opposed to
the resolution. The objection was
that he was State credit man.
The Tribune further says:
There is an element In the State
which favors Reputation, and it is
true that 1t is composed chiefly OF
those who formerly acted with the
Democratic party, but that element
has cut itself loose from the party, and
it is not just or honest to hold the
Democracy of Tennessee responsible
for anything they may say or do. The
Democracy OF this State favor an hon
est settlement Of this matter, and will
so declare in unequivocal terms in the
next State CoDve0tioDD
We are glad to hear our cotem>
porary say that the Democracy of
the State will declare in " unequivs
ocal terms" in their next State
Convention that they favor an hons
est settlement of the debt. 1t
is certainly more than they did
in the last, as the Tribune
must admit, and when they do that
then we will give them all due cred
it for so doing.
We repeat, that in dealing with
the Interchangeable past record of the
Democratic party in Tennessee, We
have not word to say in disparage-
ment of individuals in tie party who
are State credit men. We do not
think they have always
been as earnest or jealous
in the cause as they ought
to have been. They ought to have
opposed the fraud of last year,
when Marks and his platform were
shouldered by the party and when
with one or two exceptions, no
Democratic newspaper in the State
had the courags to criticise the
platform as it should have been, and
none so far as we remember, op.
posed the. candidate. 1t was a griev-
ious blunder, one which fully war
rants the charge that the Democratic
party of Tennessee is a "Debt-
Sinking" party. But if the State
credit men in the State will stand
up as our contemporary says they
will in the future, they will deserve
praise for their action, and none
will be reader to bestow it where
belongs, than the writer of THU
editorial.
