DISCIPLINING DEMOCRATS.

The Jefferson Banner of last week took
the democracy of this city in hand and
proceeded to read them lecture. The
Banners grievance is that the party did
not do the right thing by Reubhausen
and Krebs, the democratic candidates for
assembly and clerk of the court at the re-
cent election. Upon this point the Water
town democrats and The Banner greatly
differ. 1t became necessary for the dem
ocracy here-or the portion of the party
who have become tired of the wire pull
ing and manipulation of the union-league
element in ito show their independ-
ence and teach the party managers a les
son. Reubhausen's nomination was in
the first place agreed upon by the union
league in secret cOnclave, and that
organization dictated it's endorsement by
the democratic convention. This thing
has been going on so long that the better
class of democrats have become tired of it.
At first the two wings of the party work
ed tremendously together, but it was
found that the league domination was
innimical to the best interests of the city
and many democrats were determined to
cut loose from it. Hence the slaughter
of Reubhausen which was made the
easier in consequence ofhis acknowledge
ed unftness for the office, and the super
ior ability possessed by his opponent, Mr..
Stone If the democratic leaders here
ever learned anything or tried to correct
their errors in party management, we
should say the defeat of Reubhausen
would have a salutary effect and lead to
greater care in the future in the selection
of candidates. But it is doubtful if they
can see their mistake; and we presume
that next year there will be a repetition
of the blunder made this fall.
As to Mr.. Krebs he may congratulate
himself that he was saved from utter
rOut. 1t was well known that he was
playing the game of "heads / win, tails
you lose" He publicly stated that if de-
feated he should not surrender the office,
as he was advised that his term did not
expire until next year This was dis
tasteful to many democrats who thought
his actions and intentions dishonorable.
Besides, Mr.. Schuhrer, his competitor is..a
deserving man who is very popular per-
sonally, and whose friends among the
democrats can be counted by the hun
dreds. No special effort was made in his
behalf but his splendid run attests his
strength with the people who will insist
upon his again giving them an opportu-
nifty to show their admiration for him.
Meanwhile The Banner may go on in its
work of disciplining the democrats Of
Watertown, but we apprehend it will
meet with poor encouragement. The
party whip no longer has terrors for the
men whom it would subjugate. They
have acquired habit of voting for good
republicans in preference to poor demo-
Gratis, and we think they rather enjoy
doing SO.

How TO RETURN A FAvoR.-An old
Scotchman was taking his grist to
the mill in sacks thrown across the back
of his horse, when the horse stumbled and
the grain fell to the ground. He had not
strength to arise it, being an aged man,
but he saw horseman riding along, and
thought he would ask him for help. The
horseman proved to be nobleman who
lived in the castle hard by, and the farmer
could not muster courage to ask favor
OF him. But the nobleman was a gen.
ueman and also not waitingsto be asked,
he dismounted, and between them
they lifted the grain to the horses
back. John-for he was a gentleman.
too-lifted his cap and said, "My lord,
how shall | ever thank you for your kind
ness?' Every easily, john" replied the
nobleman. "Whenever you see another
man in the same plight as you were in
just now, help him, and that will be
thanking me-

ABOUT GRANT.

Nobody knows whether General Grant
will be a candidate for the republican
nomination for the presidency or not.
Many are taking it for granted that he
will be, and they assume that if he is, he
viii be nominated without any difficulty.
Wade Hampton, Alexander Fl. Stephens
and other leading democratic politicians
are reported as having made up their
minds that Grant is to be the republican
nominee, and already they have commenc-
ed to hedge. In this connection we give
for what it Is worth the following Wash
lngton dispatch of the 18th inst, to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, (Dem.): The talk
that The south, or at least portion of it
May after all support Grant for the presi-
dency in case Tilden should be found to
be=in position to either force his nomi-
nation or destroy rival seems to grow,
and several representative southern men
here boldly say that if Tilden is in the
way that they prefer Grant, and will CO.
operate to in.iugurate movement among
southern democrats to support him. Col.
AcCardle, of Mississippi, a prominent
southern journalist, who is here, SAYS that
he thinks it would be wise craftsmanship
for the south to take Grant, for the rea-
son that it would break up sectionalism.
He says the southern democrats give the
maJorltles In congress, and in return re-
eeave nothing but abuse from their north
efn allies; that no measure which is dis
tnctlvely southern measure can be
passed In congress, and inasmuch as the
democracy OF the north seemed to be
handicapped by "solid SOUTH that it
would be better for the south especially
and the country generally, to have it
hnken up, that General Grant ought to

that the south is not solid as a menace

oazs republican politicians.
Additional significance is given to the
Grant boom III the south through the
fzes that The Augusta Chronicle and
Constituencies, which is regarded as
the organ of Mr.. Alexander FL. Stephens

PLUCKY FIGHT WITH MASKED BURG
LARs.-MIDDLEToWN, n. Y, November
AT Morseton Station, on the New
York and Midland Railroad, in Sullivan
county, early yesterday morning, three
masked men entered the store of Divine,
Dubois q Co., in order to rob the safe,
which was supposed to contain consid-
cradle sum of money. The robbers
awakened William Denman, who slept
alone over the store, and with pistols
pointed at his face commanded silence.
They then gagged him and took him to
the office, where, with threats of cutting
his heart out, they demanded that he
should open the safe, which has combi-
nation lock. Denman refused, when thew
inflicted serious injuries upon him. Dur
ing the struggle he tore the masks from
the faces of two of the men, Failing in
the attempt to compel him to open the
safe, they tied his hands to the stove and
feet to the safe and left without taking
anything. Mr.. Denman managed to free
himself from the gag, when his cries
brought assistance about daylight. He
was unconscious when released, and re-
covered consciousness and gave an &C
count of the affair. His life is not in
danger. This is the third attempt made
to rob the store within few years, Mr..
Denman being attacked each time.

About one o'clock Monday morning
fire was discovered in the sleigh and
wagon stock mandatory of M. Goldberg,
in New London. Before the engine ar
rived the entire building was enveloped
in flames. Rain was falling in torrents

shop, standing directly across the street
from the factory is badly charred, and
will have to be rebuilt. As the fire was
first discovered in part of the building
remote from the engine and boiler it is
thought to be the work of an incendary.

Pause, Ponder nd Pe3'atse.

The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (The Family
Sewing Machine, marks one of the most
important eras in the history of machin-
cry, and when we consider it's great use
fulness and extremely low price $3.50, it
is very difficult to conceive of any inven-
ton for domestic use of more or even
equal importance to families. It has great
capacity for work; beautiful, smooth, and
quiet movement, rapid execution, certain
ty and delightful ease of operation, that
at once commends it above all others.
The working parts are all steel, strong
and durable, and will last a life time;
the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the
stitch is the firmest OF all the stitches
made, neat and regular, and can be regu-
lated to sew stitches from an inch in
length on coarse material down to the fin
est, so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernible with the naked eye, and with a
rapidity rendering it impossible to count
them as fast as made; it has more attach
ments than any other, and it does to per-
lection all kinds of heavy, course, plain,
fine, or fancy needle-work with ease, and
far less labor than required ON other ma.
chimes. 1t needs no commentator, the
rapid sales, increasing demand, and vol
untary encomiums from the press, and the

wounded in battle, and says he has done
as much for the democratic party as any
man of his ability, announces that he is
in favor of General Grant for president"
Possibly this is only dodge to kill off
Grant and ruin his prospects among re-
publicans, for nothing would more effect
ually do this than to have it understood
that he is acceptable to the southern bull
doing democracy. 1t does not seem pro-
bable that any man whom Wade Hamp-
ton and that crowd want for president the
next time can be elected.

THE Jefferson Banner thinks that the
election Of republican members of the as
sembly in the two democratic districts in
this county was all wrong, but that the
election of democratic member in the
republican district was exactly as it
should be. Precisely why it was worse
for democrats to vote for Messrs. Bullock
and Stone than it was for republicans to
vote for Mr. Craig, we do not understand
but we presume The Banner can see the

added to 5 per cent. by the Gas. Com
pany, amounting to $37, 800, makes up
the total as noted. The Memphis Fire
and General Insurance Company yes
terday declared a stock note dividend
of 5 per cent. This brings its book
value up to zoe. This is a very favor
ableshowing in theface of the fact that
during the past six months it has been
difficult to find profitable employment
for loauable funds, while, for the same
time, fire losses have been numerous,
and though none have been heavy, yet
all make up a good round sum in the
loss account. 1t is pleasant to note
these evidences of prosperity and good
management on the part of our inan-
cial and insurance corporations. There
is a rumor afoat that the fernando
Insurance Company has enjoyed a sea-
son Of prosperity, and will swell the
cash dividend list somewhere between
five and ten thousand dollars.
