CREDIT WHERE 1T is DUE.

The people of Jefferson county have
had taste of what might be expected,
and would be realized, if the republican
party had the administration of affairs in
this county. They have seen for the first
time in their lives, republican chair
man of the board of supervisors, and the
board itself equally divided politically.
The beneficial results following may
seen in the shortest and most economical
sessions of the boards ever known-lasting
only eleven days, which is unprecedented
in the history of Jefferson county. All
the business before the board was expedi-
tiously and prudently transacted, and
taxpayers have every reason to be salts
fed with all that was done. With such
a satisfactory exhibit as this, made by a
board of which republicans have only
half the members and chairman to direct
the business in the appointment of COM
mittees, etc., what might not be expected
from board in which the republicans
were in majority? And reasoning from
analogy, is not the experiment worth try
ing, Of electing next year, republican
board of supervisors and a clean set of
republican county officers? We have
now republican district attorney to
whom much of the credit is due for de-
crease In expenses attending the prosecu-
ton of criminal cases. Everyone knows
that this officer has large discretionary
power and can spend or save thousands
OF dollars to the county by the wisdom of
foolishness with which he conducts the
public business as regards the prosecu-
ton of frivolous cases. Mr.. Steiner has
made record for himself in this parti-
cular of which he may well be proud.
Ii jefferson county should once
try the luxury of republican
sheriff and other county officers,
we believe she would be so well satisfied
with the experiment as to repeat it regu-
Larry at every succeeding election when
they were to be chosen.

Here is handsome tribute paid to the
Republican party by The Nashville Ban
ner, the leading Democratic organ of
Tennessee. 1t is speaking of the danger
there is that its party will lose that State
next year, and the necessity, for the sake
of party harmony, of postponing the
question of repudiating the State debt
until after the presidential election. 1t
says: "Ihe Republicans will unite with
anyone to pay the debt" ''Better, far
BETTER it continues, "let the State debt
rest for another election than put Grant
or Blaine or Sherman in the presidential
chair 1t does not say better honestly
pay the debt than take the chances of a
Republican victory, because it evidently
regards such a result as assuring an hon
est financial policy. 1t wants the votes
OF the honest Democrats who are in favor
of maintaining the honor of the common
wealth to aid in carrying the State next
year. There will be time enough for re-
pudiating the following year.
1t seems to be pretty well established
that Republican victories mean the main
tenance of the public faith and Demo-
cratic victories Reputation and dishonor.
The organ of the Tennessee Democracy
admits the proposition.

HO " 1T VAS DONE.

On the night of the election, the news
flashed over the wires that Yazoo, Miss,
had gone democratic. A correspondent
of The New York Tribune writes to that
paper and tells how it was done. He
says: "There was no voting after II in
the morning. Every time negro would
come up to the gate the bulldozers would
demand him to show his ticket. If he
showed an independent ticket he was
knocked down. They went on in this
way until about II o'clock, when cake
Holder gave the signal and all drew their
pistols and commenced firing in the air
The negroes all ran off, and of course
there was no more voting That an
easy way to carry elections, and seems to
be about the only one available to demo
Gratis this fall.

How humiIiating and ridiculous do til

How humiliating and ridiculous do the
predictions of the soft money democrats,
and the greenbackers, appear in the light
Of accomplished facts! We we've told that
the attempt to redeem greenbacks in spe-
Gle would drain the treasury of all its
coin and that great financial collapse
would ensue. The resumptionists were
warned that there was not enough coin in
the United States to resume with and that
if the whole world were drawn on for that
purpose still the inevitable result would
be failure According to the report of
the director of the minis just published
there is now in the United States 1885,
SS1, $40 of gold, and $126, 0O9, 547 of sill
yer, total of $4s1, 691 ,069 The director
says: 'Should the unprecedented flow of
4ald continue from foreign countries I'M
checked by its reaction upon prices here
and abroad, the metallic circulation of
the country at the end of this fiscal year
Will have swollen to over 5000, 900, 000."
The coin now in this country averages
about ten dollars per capita, and accord
ing to the directors estimate will average
en- the first of July next about twelve
dollars per capita. IF to this be added
the greenback and bank note circulation
Of the country we have now the enormous
amount of currency of nearly 81, 200, 900,
0o0-or about twenty-four dollars per
capita. That is Imitation that beats
anything this country ever had before,
for each dollar has about double the buy
ing power of the greenback in the flush
period preceding the panic. No wonder
the alleged greenback party has gone to
pieces and the "Ohio idea" has gone int O

SENATOR CARPENTER.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.--sT don't care to
be quoted, . said Senator Carpenter to-day
in talk with a Tribune reporter, "be-
cause | have already said enough in the
papers. believe that the Democrats
mean to throw out returns from one or
more Republican States and declare their
candidate elected. They will find a pre-
text for this course or make one. Unfor-
tunately there are precedents enough for
assuming the right of one house, or both
houses, to prevent the counting of returns
by majority vote. You ask what would
be the result if they should find some pre-
text of plausible character on which
there might fairly be difference of hon
est Judgment? We should have to ac-
quiesce. If their action should be gross
ly unjust, aud in manifest defiance of the
will of the people expressed at the cleo
ton, there would be fight. Civil war
would inevitably ensue."
"Will any efforts be made this winter
by the Republicans to pass law regu-
lating the electoral COUNT"
eyes; but they will be fruitless. The
Democrats will allow no law of the kind
to pass. We shall put them on record as
opposing the adoption of fair, non-parti-
san legislation governing the count, but
that is all we can do. We shall also get
the question plainly before the country
in the next campaign"
Mr.. Carpenter was asked what he ex-
pected in the way of general legislation
from the approaching session. He replied:
Nothing of any value to the country.
The session will be an angry and noisy
one; continual row without any profit. +"
Will the Democrats venture to revive
the issues of last session.
"You would say not from the way they
have been beaten on them at the fall
elections, but you can never tell what fol-
ly they will commit. They carried this
years elections for us by their perform
ances last session, and they will probably
do something this winter to help us next
year"

Pause, Ponder nd PerltSe.

The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine Che Family
Sewing Machine, marks one of the most
important eras in the history of machin-
cry, and when we consider its great use
fulness and extremely low price ($25), it
is very difficult to conceive of any inven-
ton for domestic use of more or even
equal Importance to families 1t 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 life time:
the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the
stitch is the frmest Of all the stitches
made, neat and regular, and can be regu-
lated to sew stitches from an inch in
length on cos.-se material down to the fin
est, SO infnitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernible with the naked eye, and with
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, CT 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
thousands of families who use them, am
ply testify to their undoubted worth as a
standard and reliable household necessity
extending its popularity each day Ma
