WE believe now that the great
battle for public credit has been
fought, now that financial authori-
ties place Tennessee in the list of
great states worthy their ancestry,
and give us promise of speedy SUBJ
stantial benefits to flow from main
tanned credit, the people are gener-
ally satisfied with the result, ac-
cepting the verdict with hope in
stead of despair. AS we said before
the contest, half the labor was in
making up the mind to shoulder
the burden. Already Tennesseans
begin to feel more proud and self
respecting. There is doubtless a
little apprehension yet as to taxes,
but it Will soon appear that for
every dollar more of taxes to pay
there will be five dollars more to pay
it with. The first year will be the
hardest, and then the burden will
grow yearly lighter; whereas, had
the opposite course been adopted,
the burden of our error would have
grown yearly heavier and harder to
bear. For every man who is indus
trious-who is doing anything for
his state, his family and himself
increased prosperity will make
slightly increased burdens of taxa
ton easier to bear, so that the peo-
Pile of Tennessee will really pay the
increased tax with far more ease
than they have borne our lighter
taxation, coupled with the burden
of a. grave cloud resting upon the

The Smith County Progress in
speaking of the public execution OF
murderer at Newport, the other
day says:
If the legislature of Tennessee is
composed of men who are studying
the best interests of the people NOR
ally, socially as well as financially,
they will inaugurate legislation to
put a stop to these shameful public
executions. The common circus is
bad enough; but one hanging such
as that at Newport last week, will
do more todegrade the taste, destroy
the sensibilities, and corrupt the
morals of community than all the
circuses in the land. There is not a
refined feeling, or a noble sensibili-
ty in the human breast that does
not revolt at the idea of witnessing
the violent death of any being. The
fact that ten thousand people, claim
ing to be civilized, can be called to-
gether to witness the death of a
brutal murderer should bring a
blush Of shame to the cheek of our
boosted cultivation. 1t is a disgrace
to our christian civilization, and a
reproach to any government that
allows it. .

The Talk About Maynard Is ali


Jackson Tribune and Sun: "a
great deal of noise is being made i'm
political circles over the probability
Of the election of Maynard to the
senate from Tennessee. Therepub-
Iicans north may possess their souls
in peace. There is no probability of
any such thing, and no intelligent
republican in Tennessee believes in
any such absurdity. The democrats
have a majority OF i've on Joint bal
lot. and however widely they may
have differed on local matters they
are all democrats. The republican
party believes that the argument of
money is all powerful. Its expert
ence in the corruption of elections
by bribery, gives some ground for
their faith, but they make a mis-
take in thinking that money can
buy the senatorship in Tennessee.
1t is very natural that they should
wish to purchase the senatorship
from Tennessee, and thus break
down in the United States senate
| the only barrier TO unlimited re-
publican power in national affairs
! but at this time it would be worth
! the existence of a democrat to be
guilty OF such damnable treachery,
\ and il there was one among them
mean enough tosell out to Maynard
at any time, this is not time that
he would dare do it. Besides, such
claim on the part Of republicans
aorth is an insult to the democrats
who followed the bolt and were
elected as boilers. 1t is a calculation
based upon the supposed political
! apostacy and utter corruption and
depravity of the democrats who diff
fered with the majority of the party
and bOlted its nomination. The
senator TO be elected from Tennes-
see will be democrat, and the
United States senate will remain
democratic, at least until 1888, as a
barrier TO republican revolutionary
schemes.

New Orleans Democrat.

Captain EadS accompanied by his
staff of engineers, left the city yes

will return on Saturday and leave
Sunday by Morgan's steamer Whit
ney for Vera Cruz and the City of
Mexico, whence they will proceed
to make an exploration of the 18th

of selecting the most feasible route
for the construction of the ship rail-
way by which Captain Eads propos-
es to solve the problem of the 18TH

forms us that he finds public senti-
ment everywhere rapidly crystal
iZing in favor Of his railway, and
is agreeably surprised at the enc1ur-

Of his success in this matter than he
did about the success of the ietties,

Vincing all those to whom he eX-

ed Goldman Green say: E" Brethren,
when | walk through the streets of
Nashville, and behold the fine resi-
dences, large stores crowded with
fine goods; bank windows filed
with gold, silver and greenbacks,
say to myself, i am too poor to
live When / go out to the fine
cemeteries, and behold the fine
monuments, read the beautiful in
criptions, see the shell walks and
fences set in solid rock enclosing a
square set with beautiful flowers, |
say to myself: Poor old Green! he
is too poor to die But when | get
with the preachers at camp-meet-
ing, and scotch for them, my soul
is filled with love of God and | say,
'It is no matter where | die. Let me
die away from home; be buried in
an old broom sedge field, among
the sassefras bushes and briars. All
ask Of you is to get a rough lime
stone rock from the hillside; take a
cold-chisel and scratch upon it ::
"Here lies poor old sinner saved
by grace. ~

The Boston Evening Post says
the Conkling-Sprague scandal,
which holds the first place in society
gossip, both i'm this state and New
York, has received a fresh impetus
from the fact that Gov. Sprague is
reported t., have been driven to des-
peration by the intrigues and perse-
cution of his enemies, and he now
threatens TO tell the whole story OF
his wife's alleged intidelity and
FCOnkling's wile5 and temptations.
His friends both here and in New
York say that he has positive proof
ofcriminality extending over many
years at Washington and extending
to the receut presidential canvass,
when Roscoe and Kate travelled to
Buffalo together and were in come
pany at the Palace Hotel. That
Conkling broke up the Sprague
household and compromised his
wife nobody doubts, but that il will
hurt him in the e 'tinatiOn of the re-
publican party and its leaders is not
50 certain. He broke up the Howe
family in New York city and the
Hayden household in Albany, but
it has made no difference. Just now
the New York public feel much
more interested in learning about
the Sprague trouble. Two families
are agOnizing over it. Senator
Sprague feels the disgrace of his
wife very keenly. Mrs. Conkling
and her daughter are so overwhelm-
ed by it that they rarely go into so
ciety, and live as secluded as pos
sible. Mrs. Conkling is proud and
self-cOntained woman, but telI-tale
lines on her face, which were not
there three yeas ago, betray the
fact that she is heart-broken.

"Let Us Go to WORK. ="

Under the above heading the
Mobile Register makes the follow
ing sensible remarks: The election
is over. The great question is de-
cided, and we will have no more
political agitation for Tour years to
come. No matter how the house
will be constituted after the 4th of
March, the south cannot be hurt.
There is no possibility of reconstruc-
ton. The state government will
stand secure. Whateve, laws CON
gress may enact will act equally up
onall theeOuntry, thesouth can stand
anything the north can. Iniquit-
Gus laws, bearing .oppressively on
the south, must rebound against the
north, and will be swept from the
statute books. We are one people,
bound together by common laws
and intermingled commerce. Rail-
roads and telegraphs connect us by
closest ties, and one section cannot
suffer without the other feeling the
loss.
"For ten years we have been
faithfully at work in these southern
states to build up on cur waste
places and to increase our prospect
ty in every direction. Let us now
settle to the traces and continue
the work with renewed vigilance"

Like Produces Like.

Many years ago, and i'm Il period
of our agricultural history when new
varieties of any farm crop were ex-
tremely rare, an observant farmer of
Pennsylvania, acting on the prin-
ciple that perfect seed, originated a
superior variety of wheat, which he
named "barrel wheat" This he did
by holding the sheaves of wheat in
his hand by the butts and beating
the tops over n barrel. The large,
plump, perfect grains would fly out,
and none others. This wheat was
used as seed, and the same practice
to procure seed being followed a few
years produced what seemed to be a
new variety of wheat but what was
only the result of a practical appli-
cation of the natural law of select
ing the tittest. This anecdote is a
practical illustration of using none
but the very best for seed. Unripe,
small POTATOES tire ttrliIt e7y7y5,i,
and so are hollow, overgrOwn
tubers. The former are weak and
imperfect; the latter, like all alb
normal monsters, are unhealthy.

length of a car without finding an

Even after full minute had passed
there was no sign that he meant To

Then the farmer touched his arm
and said +: -F r.

Too pure for the touch of a word.

And one is the dark mount of sorrow,
And one the mountain of prayer.
