KING CAUCUS.

The legislation of the present
extra session of Congress has been
more than ever controlled by the
caucus. Whenever the would-be
party leaders have determined to
put a measure through that might
be distasteful to some of the more
conservative members of the party,
they have called a caucus and
gagged these conservatives. Sen
ator Bayard, it is understood, has
not been accord with his party on
several occasions, and in the caucus
has sometims been troublesome,
but they have generally managed
to keep him in the traces. Last
week, however, q Senatorial caucus
was called to consider the question
of taking the Warner Silver bill
out of the hands of the Finance
Committee and passing 1t. Mr..
Bayard is Chairman of the Finance
Committee, and gave some of his
party friends to understand that if
the caucus should determine on such
a course, he will at once resign his
craftsmanship, and then pursue
whatever policy on the floor of the
Senate his judgment may dictate.
Bayard is too large a man to insult
in that way, and the probability is
that for once, King Caucus viii not
reign supreme.

TUESDAY, JUNE II, 1879.

PROCTOR KNOTS weak appeal
for State Rights, intended as a reply
to the points so clearly made by the
President in his veto messages, has
scarcely created a ripple on the
political surface. 1t is the puny
effort of a weak man in behalf of a
weak cause. John c. Calhoun and
his compeers were much ADLER to
grapple with this problem than any
men in the Democratic party of to
day. They, with all their powers
for argument, failed to impress upon
the American people that a State
is greater than the Nation. Since
they were actively engaged in poll
tics the country has had some sad
experience, and the results of a
State Right policy have been prac-
tically demonstrated. In the light
of such sad experience, it will take
a greater man than Proctor Kno oft
to convince the people of this
country that freedom and prosperity
is to be perpetuated by adhering to
a policy that has once had much to
do wit h precipitating a bloody war.

which the Republicans of the Sem
ate, after their two caucuses, have
decided to stand. They do not pro-
pose to yield, as Mr.. Garfield did,
but they propose to smoke the Dem
ocratic intentions out and de-
velop what the Democrats construe
the sixth section to mean.
The words have been quoted sew
eral times in these dispatches
and are understood. When the Sec
ton is reached the Republicans will
insist upon the Democratic leaders
stating explicitly just what their
construction of the section is. If
it means that the President shall
not be allowed to station patrols of
soldiers TO do police duty at the
polls, the Republicans viii unani-
mously vote for it, with that under
standing, and the Interpretation dis
tinctly expressed, and an amend
ment will be offered to make the
section more explicit. If it means
that the President shall not be al
lowed to enforce the laws Of the
United States, if necessary, by the
aid of the military on election days !;
if it means that he cannot bring
troops to drive away Ku-Klux and
rifle clubs from the polls, prevent
intimidation and murder, and pro-
tect citizens of the United States in
the free exercise of their constitu-
tional rights and privileges, they
will fight it to the bitter end, and
prevent its passage at all hazards.

RenubIiean Senator'S, Position.

Special 10 the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The
Republican Senators had two eau
cuses to-day, one this morning
before the Senate convened and
another after the adjournment of
the Senate, and have unanimously
agreed upon a plan for treating the
Army bill. They do not wish to
place Garfield, Hawley and other
Republicans in the House in a wrong
position, or allow anything like i'm
piled censure to fall upon them, but
a large majority Of the Republican
Senators believe that the position
of Williams and Keifer was the
right one, and that Hawley, Gar
field and the Republicans generally
were misled into believing that the
Democrats had yielded, and that
the sixth section was empty YER
biage. In his speech before the
caucus Senator Conkling ex-
pressed the whole situation
in a few words. Said he: "The
Republican party does not want the
President to use the army as po-
lice force to patrol localities where
elections are being held, to intimi-
date voters and make it appear that
this is a bayonet-ridden country.
They do not assert that he has this
right, but they do assert that he
has the right to quell riots at the
polls and secure free elections from
rifle clubs and other organizations,
and they propose to do all they can
to keep him secure IN the exercise
Of It," That is the platform on |

Prosperity of Southern Negroes.

Even our own people sometimes
make a mistake that is to say,
looking at crowds of idle negroes
about the public places of our cities
and towns, they think and say that
the negro don't work. 1t is all
mistake. Idle as they may be in
the towns, there is no lack of vigor
or industry in the country. There
was period of great disorganiza-
ton in the labor system of the
South. There was time when free
dom meant to the negro the right to
be idle. But they have been finding
out that it means freedom to work. In
the thirteen of fourteen years that
have elapsed since the termination
of the war, a half generation has
passed. The little boys of fourteen
years ago are the stalWart workers
of to-day, men who have grown up
accustomed to free labor, accus-
toned to making contracts for their

Letter from Union Crossroads.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Crossroads
is situated in the heart of a well-tC-
do neighborhood, about thirty miles
west of Knoxville, between Lenoir's
Station and Walters Ferry, eight
miles from the former place and one
mile from the latter. The location
is absolutely admirable, scenery un~
surpassed, and in point of health it
is second to no place in East Ten
nessee. No malarial fever nor
"grippy gripy monsters mounted on
their skeleton steads" mako their
periodical visits here. But in case
of any delinquency on the part of
our digestive organs, as is sometimes
the case, we have but to summon to
our aid the able assistance of our
genial and accomplished friend, DR..
r. ?. Eaton, who will physic the
boys for q mere trife; then they
are ready for business again. So
ciety here is quite up to the lofty
requirements of the Academy of
Science. There are neat churches,
representing several denominations,
within easy access. Educational
facilities are ordinarily good; and [
am happy to say we are undisturbed
by the midnight braWls of that
elamorous band of rufians who are,
recently, so persistent in their de-
tn ESnaIas -
Prospects are Aattering for fine
crops of corn and wheat; oats viii
not be so good, having suffered con-
siderably for rain.
Among our best farmers and
most prominent citizens are the
Walkers, who were among the first |
settlers of this country. They have |
raised large and respected families. |
Still they live, yet their siIvery hair
shows that the evening of their
lives is far spent. May old age, in
stead of introducing melancholy |
prospects of decay, open up to
them a brilliant hope of eternal !
youth in a better life. And may
the youthful friends and relatives Of |
these aged and venerable fathers
emulate the examples of their well
spent lives.
We are happy to congratulate
Deacon Fritts over the appearance
of bran new baby in his family. |
We think that makes about six of
the bright-eyei little innocents to
vie for kisses. The deacon is a
kind father and a warm hearted
husband. May his life be long and
prolific, untouched by misery, and
may he be the recipient of many
similar congratulations.
The Crossroads has been thrown
into quite a state of excitement re-
Gently. Witchcraft is rife in our
midst, though we have not gained
sufficient clue to the hags and bel
danes who practice it to justify US
in torturing them, as in the good
old days of Salem. We learn that
Mr.. Hufand, who resides near here,
found a witch ball in his calf lot
lately, and had it not been for the
timely aid of Brother Sam. Eblen,
who claims to have power to cast
out unclean spirits, the calf, he
thinks, would certainly have died.
The protective horseshoe can be
found in every family about the

own labor, and learning gradually
to respect those contracts. They
have learned, too, the value of in,
dustry and steadiness as affecting
wages. Large numbers of negroes
own small farms, and cultivate
small crops of cotton; and many of
these mickles make a muckle. Let
us all think before we speak.-

Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,

Gus, marsh, or mlasmatIc polsons. q
This is q compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rOus districts demand. It's great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of qunism any Injurious effects,
and are rs healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that <, ithas gained the reputation of being nfal-

as 4 sure remedy and specific for the Fever and

The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,

thus enabled TO defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
