The eloquent N iloI sen
tor made a capital speech on the
Xodus report. lie stated that OF
he testimony taken three hum
lred and odd p"ses were from
Democrats and eleven hundred
md sixty pages from Republi-
cans. lie spoke Of Senator Win
Ions speech as a diatribe, and
said there was no exodus, but
only an emigration. He called
attention to the fact that biissis-
5ippi planters are now negotia-
ling with the negro emigrants to
Kansas and Indiana, and can hire
them cheaper than they can the
same character Of labor in
Georgia and Alabama. He ar
gued that good will come out OF
this movement, and declared
that he had never looked upon it
with apprehension. He said he
would welcome the day when q
real demand for labor should call
negroes from the South to other
sections. because it would indi
cate Il condition Of prosperity.
The story is current that a day
or two after the Chicago Conven
ton, Grant had a conference
with Cameron and Logan, aftel
which the latter publicly asserted
that Grant would be nominated
without opposition in 1881" Ac

Gov. Marks Administration.

We printed last week the letter Of
his cxccllency, Albert S. Marks, Gov
crnor, ETC., III response to Il communi-
cation addressed to him by certain
gentlemen of Franklin, who were de
sirous of eliciting his views upon the
veXed question Of the State debt and
its settlement. We styled the Govern
or's letter remarkable document, and
we are of the opinion that all who have
carefully read'it will necessarily agree
with us III so designating it. 1t is
patiently the result or profound
thought and long continued and
deliberate consideration; for it would
be impossible for any man to prepare,
on the impulse ofthe moment, letter
which should embrace 50 careful and 50
ingenious an evasion Of explicit replies
to explicit interrogatorics. Beyond
the open assertion that the cowardlv
and doublc-dealing platform of 1878
is.the only one upon which it is posi-
bic for the Democracy to harmonic"
and the implied assertion that the re-
nomination of Gov. Marks is an indIs-
pensible prerequisite to Democratic
success, the letter contains nothing
tangible, and is made up of ''glittcring
genera les" which mean anything or
nothing, rs the reader may elect.
Gov. Marks was the author of the
platform Of 1873. He was elected
upon that platform, and is to-day the
fitting type and exponent of its truck
ling sacrifice of principle to policy, and
its time-serving endeavOr to subordi-
nate the honor and integrity of a great
party to the specious plea Of harmony,
1t is proper that he should continue to
stand upon it, and that his political
fortunes should share its success or
failure. He himself has invited such
q fate.
But the Governor. in openly asking
denomination upon his platform,
grievously mistakes the signs of the
times and the temper Of the people;
1880 is not 1873, and the difference is
tar greater than the lapse OF years in
Cicated Y the caion ar. The time for
Cancellation and compromise has
passed; and Democrats who believe
that the plighted faith and honor of a
graf CommonNe 9TH inv, e a ques-
Lien which rises above and beyond
mere temporary party success, will not
again be tempted 10 yield there con-
victions or right for the sake of eXpedi-
ency. We have listened too long to
the seductive song of "harmony"-sO
long that Democratic dalliance with
the harlot Republication has tainted the
fair fame of the party-sO long that
hundreds now openly embrace the
hideous monster, the mere mention of
whose name they once could hardly
endure,
The Governor is too late. He has
had his day. The lucky object of a
combination of unforeseen circum-
stances, accident elevated him to the
high station he holds. Like all 'com-
promise" candidates, lie has been a dis
appointment and a failure. He has
f6stered the hopes of both wings Of the
Darty which nominated him, and kept
faith with neither. Attempting to
make fair weather with both sides, he
has succeeded only III alternating old
friends without gaining new ones.

TILDEN'S WITHDRAWAL.

Mr.. Tilden writes a letter to the
New York delegates in the Cincin-
matt Convention. lie concludes
as follows:
Having now borne faithfully my
fun share Of labor and care in the
public service, and wearing the marks
of burdens, l desire nothing SO much
us an honorable discharge. l wish to
lay down the honors and tolls Of even
q,tasi-party leadership, and to seek the
repose of private life.
I'm renouncing denomination for the
Presidency, do 50 with no doubt in
my mind as to the vote Of the State of
New Yoak, or of the United States,
but because | believe that it is renun-
cation of reelection to the presidency.
To those who think my renomina-
ton AMI reelection indispensable to an
olfectull vindication Of the right of the
people 10 elect there rulers, violated in
my person, have accorded as long a
reserve of my decision as possible, but
] cannot overcome my repugnnnce to
,-i.cr iuto q new engagement which
in,-olves four years of ccascleSs toll.
The dignity of the Presidential office
Is ABOVE merely personal ambition,
bur it creates in me no illusion. Its
value is as n great power for good to
the country. l said four years ago, III
accepting nomination:
KNOWING as do, therefore, from
fresh experience, how great the differ
ence is between gliding through an
official routine and working out re-
form of systems and policies, it is i'm
,,essible for me to contemplate what
needs to be done in the Federal Adj
ministration without an anxious sense
Of the difficulties of the undertaking.
If summoned by the suffrages Of my
coumtrymen to attempt this work |
shall endcavor, with Gods help, to be
the efficient instrument of their will. "
Such a work of renovation after
many years of misrule, such reform
of systems and policies, to which
would cheerfully have sacrificed all
u; t remained to me Of health and life,
is now, l fear, beyond my strength.
With unfeigned thanks for the hon
ors bestowed upon me, with heart
swelling with emotions Of gratitude to
the Democratic masses for the support
which they have given to the cause l
represented, and their steadfast conf
a - IN every emergency remain your
fellow citizen.

GARFIELD.

The Republican nominee is a
political corruptionist. His own
party in his own district in Sept,
1876 adopted resolutions most
denunciatory Of him. Read
what they said Of him in part:
That we further arraign and de-
mounce him for his corrupt connection
with the credit mobilier, for his false
deui;,ls thereof before his constituents,
for his puUurcd details thereof before

The Press Ovation.

Last week the Tennessee Press As
ISOLATION held an annual gathering at
jackson. Much business was trans
acted by the many editors present; and
amidst the work Of the convention the
members had most royal time in be-
ing the recipients of the bountiful
hospitality Of that enterprizing and
cultured city.
The banquet at the Court House
was "boom." 1t endorsed some of the
knights. That trip to the country defies
description. The first suburban seat
visited was that of Jno. Y. Keith. He
has a beautiful home, and lie and his
cstimable family are just the people to
own and adorn such valuable proper
ty. On this occasion he refreshed the
members with iced drinks and tempt
ing fruit and seasoned it all with I'M
renting attention to the pleasure of
his rs.Thence in carriages the ed
itors whirled to the elegant home of
Mr.. Treadwell. His one thousand
acres in cultivation were in view and
attested his worth and skill as plant
err. Many of his gusets did violence
to sparkling champagne and toasted
him and his accomplished lady. Then
they went to the stately residence of
Capt Hurt, where, under shady trees,
the visitors partook of a royal feast of
Refreshments.
Thence they went to town having
visited homes fifty representing gold
en- social status. Keith, Treadwell and
Hurt, and their noble like, have made
jackson a metropolitan centre of real
refinement and the highest social cul-
ture.
On Thursday night the Opera
House ;as crowded with the beauty
and gallantry of the city, assembled to
celebrate the seventh anniversary of
Launcelot Pythian Lodge. Browns
vile, Milan and Bolivar were repre-
scented. Miss Mattel, beautiful and
gifted child of song, of GAINESVILLE,
rccited & poem, dedicated to the edi-
torial guests present. In graceful and
measured accents she deplored the
repudiation stigma on the fair name
and form of her beloved Tennessee,
and told the vast audience that wo-
mems voice would denounce such dis
honor and her C rt shield the great
State fame such pollution. The buiII :
ing resounded with raPturous applause
in proof of actice sympathy with her
eloquent and polished periods.
After adjournment, the Press and
Pythian visitors repaired to Tomlin's
Hall where six hundred banqueters
attacked tables laden with choice sub
stantials and refreshments. The clat-
ter and havoc Of the prolonged on
slaught attested the warmth and depth
of Jackson's munifcent hospitality.
After the splendid feast was over, many
of the gay ones repaired to Davidson s
Hall where the merry dance was In
augurated and continued to a late
hour.
The following day many of the edi-
tors went on a free excursion to the
Lakes.
The next meeting viii be held at
Chattanooga, the queen mountain city
of Tennessee.
Thus closed another Press COnven-
ton, and jackson won new and fresh
honor for the princely manner in
which she welcomed and teas ted her
typo visitors.
Gates, Enloe and Fletcher nay be
justly proud Of their beautiful ely AID
l. noble people.
