The death of WIN. Allen of
Ohio, @eprives the country of one
of its abIest and most experience.
ed statesman. Forty years ago
he was one of the leading politi-
Glars of Ohio and represented
that State in both houses Of Con-
gress. For some act Of his du-
ring the candidacy Of VIM. Henry
Harrison for President. the Wing
party gave him the name Of Petit
coat Allen, which sobriquet stuck
to him until he retired from pnb-
lie life, previous to the war. In
1872, however, the democracy
brought him to the front as their
candidate for governor and elec>
ted him.
He had a powerful voice, and
it is saidl that he would stand on
the steps of the Capitol at Colum
bus and address all the people of
Ohio. In his younger days he
made a speech on the river bank
at Philadelphia, when some
Wing who was on a steamboat
started his steam whistle but the
voice of Allen was heard distinct
ly above it. He was a peculiar
pet and friend of Andrew jack
son, end refused the nomination
for President in 1S48 which was
offered him by the two wings of
the democratic party, one sup
porting Cass and the other Van
Buren,.

The panic occasioned by the
appearance Of yellow fever in
Memphis appears to have subsi-
ded.
The excessive hot weather that
was experienced in that city 10
all probability generated into life
the germs of that disease which
had been laid away in some warm
place during the winter.
The fact that it has not spread
any since the first outbreak seems
to sustain such an idea.
Northern papers seem to think
that if the fever should spread it
would probably move northward
towards st. Louis, Chicago, Louis
vile, Cincinnati and perhaps to-
wards the Atlantic Coast. After
all their false assertions last year
i'll regard to the filthy condition
OF the Southern towns and cities
they now as a sequel to the COL
umns of advice voluntarily be-
slowed upon us, admit that their
own cities are in as foul a con
dition as they we'll can be.

THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS
We invite the attention to the
cards Of Mesdames Matilda and
Ellen Lanplreimer, IN regard to
the receipt of the insurance effec-
ted upon the life of Mr.. David E.
Lanpheimer, brother of the first
and husband of the last, from
the Louisiana Equitable Life In-
Snrance Company. 1t will be per.
ceivef tfatpthat. staunch and re-
liable home institution paid one
thousand dollars in advance when
it was due to Mrs. Matilda Lau.
pheimer, and four thousand dol
lars to Mrs. Ellen Lanpheimer,
without cavil or delay. This is
what we call the right way to do
business.
The Louisiana Equitable Life
Insurance Company means to
continue in this way. 1t does
not take peoples money during
their lives and when they die
cheat their assignees out of it up
on hlnSy excuses, nor does it
force poor wifOx rs to go t. law to
get their rights. In a word: it is
a Southern company, conducted
Oh Southern principles, has all it's
means invested here, and the
profits made by it are distributed
among our own people. COnse-
quently we say to all who wish to
insure their lives, patronize this
company.-Ff0m the ". o. Times.

The Belknaps.

Washington Letter in Boston
Herald: Mrs. Belknap, once so ia
nous In Washington society, is
making a sensation in foreign social
circles, so report says, and the PEG
Pile who could not quite tolerate
the Belknap family after the War
Department developments of 1875
are asked to believe that she is the
recipient of very marked attentions
abroad. This may be so, and if
Grant comes in again, who knows
but the Belknaps may come in
again, with the rest of the old
crowd--at least for social recogni-
ton? Mrs. Belknap made many
fast friends here when, az Mrs.
Bowers "a widow, she tenderly
cared for and nursed the sick son Of
the former Mrs. Belknap, her sister.
But afterward, as the wife of the
Secretary of War, she'chan9ed into a
selfish woman OF fashion, and SO fell
into the trap which was set for the
Secretary by the post traders.
Belknap, himself, is often seen here.
He has some occupation as lawyer
and claim agent, and manages to
do considerable business with the
Departments.

PROCLAMATION

Governor of the State of Tennessee.

To Al W6ona These Presents May Concern
Greetiug:
WHEREAS 1t has been made known tc
w me that a certain William Douglass
charged with having committed a foul and
atrocious Murder, on the oath day of August,
1879, upon the body of Samuel Kerr, late OF
our county of Giles, has fed from justice and
is now running at large:
Now, therefore, l, Albert S. Marks, Gov
ernor as aforesaid, by virtue of the power
and authority in me vested, do hereby offer
a reward of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, to
any person or persons who may apprehend
and prosecute to conviction the said William
Douglass i'll order that justice in that behalf
may be had and executed.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of the
State to be affixed, at Nashville, on the Sd
day of Sept, 1879. ALBERT S. MARKS.

The St. Louis Republican, in an
article on Tilden and Tammany,
saws:
The New York Republican jour
mails are endeavoring to manufacture
a great deal of political capital out
of the Tammany bolt. They repre-
sent it as a split of tremendous i'm
portance, which destroys all posi-
bility of Democratic victory, and
that Mr.. Tilden's inability to pre-
vent it exhibits his declining power.
All this is is a mere misrepresenta-
ton for political effect. The fact is
that Mr.. Tildeh and Tammany Hall
have long been in antagonism. He
represents the refusal of the Democ
racy of the State to be dictated to
by that organization. He acquired
his distinction in New York poll
tics years ago by throwing the
gauntlet down to the Tweed-Tam-
many leaders and daring them to do
their worst. The principal element
in his fame is his independence OF
their friendship, and that all through
his career he has fought their polit-
zeal schemes, exposed the abomina-
BILE corruptions which characterize
their management and denounced
their pretensiOns. He made no at
tempt to control their action at
Syracuse. He and his friends met
them once more in a square fight
and defeated them, as they had
often done before. This is the true
aspect of the case, and, instead of
illustrating a decline in his polit-
zeal influence, 1t shows that it is as
powerful as it ever was.

Isracllte announcing that his wife
had eloped, and cautioning the pub
lie not to trust the wife Of his

In pamphlet recently published,
professor Grimmer asserts that
'from 1850 to 1887 will be one uni
versal carnival of death. Asia will
be depopulated, Europe nearly so,
and America will lose 100000
people. Besides plaques, we are to
have storms and tidal waves;
mountains are to toss their heads
about through the choicest valleys;
navigators will be lost by the thou
sands, owing to the 'capricious de-
textures of the needle and islands
will appear and disappear in mid
ocean. All the beasts, birds and
fishes will be diseased. Famine
and human strife will destroy most
of the few human beings left alive
by the plague, and finally two years
of fire-from 1885 to 1SS7-will
rage with fury in every part of the
globe. In 1887 the "Star of Bethle-
hem will reaprear IN Cassiapia's
chair the immediate results being
universal war and portentous floods
and shipwrecks. North America
is again to be involved in civil war,
unless a Napoleon arises to quell

The Secretary of the Treasury
reports, as a sure evidence of re-
turning prosperity, that six new ma
tIonal banks were started during
the last month. He reports also
that the banks which have been
withdrawing circulation in prefer
ence TO replacing their called bonds
with four per cent. are beginning to
again increase the amount of their
circulation, there having been taken
out last month $2,0O0,O0O. They
find that business is increasing to
such an extent that there Is a great
demand for money, and they can
easily afford to take the four per

Mr.. Hendricks in Ohio.

Mr.. Hendricks, Of Indiana, made
great speech at Eaton, Ohio, on
the 9th instant. He started out
with the causes of depression and
the causes of restoration of gradu-
ally returning prosperity. In trac
ing these causes, Mr.. Sherman's
party and policy appear on the way
down hill, but in a fairly stated,
calm statement of the means by
which we are getting back Mr..
Sherman does not appear. He re-
minded his bearers that in 1868 he
declared that our prosperity must
depend upon increase of production
and more advantageous foreign
trade. From 1869 to 1873, no lib
eral policy of reconciliation, or of
promoting trade and industry had
been undertaken by the Republican
party. Their policy was respond
ed to in 1873 by the panic, which
was the public announcement of
what they had been doing for the
country. After that, Democratic
exposures of corruption, economy
forced upon an willing party,
economy and production by the
people, trade in spite of no wise
means to secure trade, had brought
a return of prosperity. 1t was the
people and not the controlling
politicians, shat had brought the
change. This speech is one of the
most complete replies to Sherman
yet made. 1t is in many respects
the greatest speech Mr.. Hendricks
has ever made, and it was equally
lucid and felicitous on the other
great issues as upon the financial
question: American.
