Ex-Gov. Hendricks.

New York Graphic: The election
of 1879 seems to have improved eX-
Senator Hendricks chances of the
Democratic Presidential nomination
of 1880. The Ohio election burie d
Mr.. Thurman, and, while the New
York election has not buried Mr..
Tilden, still it has put a good many
large nails in his coffin. Mr.. Hen
bricks State has remained true to
the Democracy. His own Democ-
racy has never been questioned. He
is not responsible for any of the
mistakes of his party in Congress
He has pursued a wise, a moderate
and truly conservative course in re
gard to the election of 1876. Indeed
his acceptance of "the situation
has enraged the great believers of
fraud and they have made him a
target for a considerable portion OF
their mud. This has rather helped
than hurt him. And as the open
ing Of the canvass for Presidential
nominees he holds an excellent po-
sitiou-in some respects better than
that of any OF his rivals.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The fol
lowing proclamation was issued by
the President to day:
AT no recurrence of the season,
which the devout habit of a reli-
giOus people has made occasion fol
giving thanks to Almighty God,
and humbly invoking his contin-
ued favor and many blessings en-
joyed by our whole country, been
more conspicuous, more manifest
or more universal than during the
past year. Also unbroken peace
with all foreign nations, the general
prevalence of domestic tranquility,
the supremacy and security of great
institutions OF civil and religious
freedom have gladdened the hearts
of our people and confirmed their
attachment to their government,
which the wisdom and courage of
our ancestors so fifty framed and
the wisdom and courage their de
scendants so firmly maintained to
be the relic of liberty and justice to
successive generations. Now, there
fore. /, Rutherford B. Hayes. Pres
ident of the United States, do APP
point Thursday, the 9th day of
November instant, as a day of ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, and
l earnestly Recommend, withdraw
ing themselves from secular cares
and labors, the people of the Uni
ted States do meet together on that
day in their respective places of
worship, there TO give thanks and
praise to- God for His mercles, and
to devoutly beseech their continu-
ance."

The Memphis Avalanche, the
brains and nerve of the new party
or Greenback movement in the
South, in the course of an editorial
on the State debt question thus dis
courseth:
mo community that was able to
pay ever gained anything in the
long run in refusing to pay its just
debts. The first battle on the ques
ton of Reputation or of no repu-
diation will be fought next year.
AS Tennessee is "solid" for the
Democratic candidate for President,
whoever he may be, there will be
no question of interest before the
people year hence except the pub
lie debt question, and that will
cause a split in the Democratic
party. If there was another party
in the State the same question
would split that party in two, also.
But the Democrats can have all the
fun in their own ranks. There is
no Republican organization to
speak of, and as TO tie Green6ackers
-iOelL, the GreenbdckerS have gone up
tie JRae, and sOiH not come dolOn for a
generation at least"

Manufacturing as Affected by this
Question.

To be very prosperous we must
combine manufactures with agri-
culture. If we could manufacture
all the cotton we raise, and all the
agricultural implements we use,
we would be in better condi-
ton. Agricultural products are so
bulky, and are subject to so many
casualties in their growth, that no
merely agricultural country ever
became very prosperous. The fact
that Massachusetts,, New York and
Ohio are manufacturing States is
the main reason why they are able
to pay four times as much tax per
head as we ever did in Tennessee,
and perhaps with less burden to
their people Now, when we de-
stroy the credit of our State we
will forever prevent manufacturing
on large scale, because this needs
capital which we do not have, and
which our policy drives from u.s.
Are we content to stand and make
no progress whilst others march on
to higher destiny? If this is our
desire let us sustain the action Of
the last Legislature and refuse to
make Il satisfactory settlement of
our State debt.

The Drumming System.

The Louisville Trade Review
places the number OF commercial
drummers in the United States at
10000 and estimates their cost to
the trade at $16I, 900, 900 annually.
This enormous tax is added by
the wholesale merchants to the price
of the goods sold the retail dealers,
who in turn impose it upon their
customers. Talk about the burdens
of federal and municipal taxation,
here is system that is fast drain
ing the very life blood from the in
dustry of the country.-[ Trigg

Improved Tone.

The Memphis Avalanche, it will
be remembered, after forcibly en-
dorsing the 5O4 settlement, sud
denly changed front and became
the fiercest as well as the ablest op
pouent of the measure in the State.
1t is to be presumed that it has
seen the effects of the policy it
urged and in the light of expert
ence no one should twit it for any
zeal or fancied inconsistency that
may now appear. Certain it is that
the Avalanche is talking now very
differently from what it talked in
July and August. But we ote the
change and improvement with
pleasure and trust that our contem-
porary this time will be content
with well doing. Nor will we here
raise an issue as to the Avalanche
present motives. We held certain
opinions and plainly expressed
them, as TO its motives in first en-
dorsing and then opposing the
5O-4, but we will not venture just
yet to analyze its motives tor the
course it is now pursuing on the
State debt question. At all events
the following extracts from an in
teresting editorial in the Avalanche
of the Sth deserves to be read and
considered. Says the Avalanche
The people who are in favor OF
paying their public as their private
debts will agitate the subject until
there is satisfactory settlement with
the creditors. They do not pro-
pose to remain quietly resting un
der the stigma of repudiation.-
They know that it is ruin to every
material interest to delay a settle
ment. If any political party in the
State shirks this question that par
ty must be defeated"
The Avalanche goes on TO argue
that the issue being one of honesty
or dishonesty, of m aterial prospect
ty or blight, cannot be postponed
and must come up next year and
enter largely into the great cam
paign then to be fought out. Ar
guing that the Presidential year is
the most favorable one for the elm
nation of settlement of the ques-
ton the Avalanche further says:
"a full vote will never be cast on
that question alone. The excite
ment of Presidential canvass will
bring out full vote. There has
never yet been a lull vote on the re-
pudlation policy. Every citizen OF
the State will, however, vote next
year on that question, and the Re-
pudiation party will undoubtedly be
buried so deep that it will never
emerge into daylight again. And
while this interment process is go
ing on neither the Democratic mol
Republican parties will receive any
very serious damage"
We will add in conclusion, that
/ the Avalanche is now so deeply
concerned for the honor and wei.
fare of the State, that in the same
editorial, quoted from it strongly
| hints that an alliance next year
should be formed on this question
between the Republicans and the
State credit Democrats.
While we are not prepared to en-
dOrse the latter suggestion, we
must congratulate the Avalanche
on its improved tone upon this vi
tai issue and on its evidently very
thorough awakened interest in the
honor and credit of the State
