A Noble Offer.
,e Nashville Amer lean.

From the Nashville Amer lean.
Here is the way State credit Dcmoc-
racy carves up and shows the faith that
is in it. Hon. George W. Jones offers
to be one of 1000 to pay the State debt,
relieve his State of Il stain, restore its
credit, preserve its honor and bring
about an era of progress, thrift and
prosperity. His share would be about
s6,50O, assuming that the creditors
would take 80 cents in cash, or about
$4,000 on their offer to take go cents.
Mr.. Jones shows, as he has shown in all
his public career, that he is Of the stuff
of which were made the statesmen ofthe
day when the debt was created. Tie OPP
posed its creation, but he has no doubt
Of its validity. This is coming up to
the rescue of the State as, Leonidas
came, as the Spartan heroes came, as
the Romans gave themselves and their
substance for their country. In this
sordid age it is a more than classic he
roism. Nor is it entirely without prec-

a conscientious person, to vote for him
even if we believed he would not get
another vote in the State. We accord
to all Wilson men the right to vote fol
Mr.. Wilson, and we shall never say
aught as their honesty in so doing.
Nevertheless, there are persons who say
they heard that we had said no homes;
man would vote for Wilson. No sucf
expression ever escaped our lips. But
they will tell it as hearsay, and soon i
will be believed, just as some actually
believe that we were paid to hoist thu
name of Judge Wright--a SANDER which
no gentleman would circulate, unless HI
knew it to be true. This is what w
call mud-hinging, and we do hope i
will not be INDUCED in by either side
We intend studiously to keep out al
personal issues in the canvass. If Judg
Wright or Mr.. Wilson do or do not pa.
their private debts, it has nothing to d.
with what we conceive the duty Of tn
State to be. We only regret the di
vision in Democratic ranks. 1t illus

DIED. In this county, on Friday
morning, Oct. LIST, 1880, of lilac alb
scess, Mr. John Fletcher Gregory, ageC
about So years.
Mr.. Gregory was born and raised in
Lincoln county, Tenn, was the third,
and only living son of Mr.. Tunstall
Gregory, an old and honored resident OF
that county, and an uncle of I. d.
Gregory, Esq, Of Winchester, Tenn.
1t is but justice to the deceased to say
that he was piece of Gods noblest
work, for he was an honest man and,
in the words Of one of his neighbors,
when he was told that his spirit had
fled, $50 goes one Of the brightest or
naments of our community" He evi.
IDENTIFY enjoyed that peace and comfort
secured by saving faith in the Savior,
but SO great was his reverence for holy
things that he kept aloof from the
church (alas that any should stumble
here for fear that he should bring re-
proach upon it.
During the war Mr.. Gregory refugeed
to Alabama, first settling in Marshall
but afterward in Bell county, and while
at those points his house was known far
and wide as the home of the sick and
wounded soldier and his refugecing
friends; and 50 mbounded was his hos
pitality, that, though he went there
with good property, he returned almost
penniless, sacrificing it all to his country
and his friends.
His was generous, noble spirit, and
many tear will start when it is writ
ten, "He has passed from the walks of
men," FIe leaves a wife and six chill
dren, whose loss is irreparable and the
community where he resided mourns,
because his example of sterling man
hood has passed from sight, and his
counsels for good are heard no more:

MARRIED.-The marriage Of Rev. A.
C. Biddle and Miss Mollie Il. Murrell
took place at the G. p. Church last
night, Oct. 9th, at y o'clock. The ser
vice was performed by Rev. 7. l..
Moody, Presiding Elder of this Gay
etteville) district.
The attendants were Miss Laura Sim
mons, Miss Belle Murrell, Miss Sallie
Carter, and Messrs. b. p. Hunt, j. A..
Freeman and Geo. w. Thompson.
After the marriage service at the
Church, a goodly number Of guests re-
paired to the house Of DR.. Murrcll, and
the evening was spent in feasting and
social converse. All know what de-
ljghtsome thing it is to meet, friend to
friend, when all restraint of fOrmality is
thrown aside, and abandoning ones sell
to the full enjoyment Of what the occa'
sion affords, and none can appreciate
what gathering in Winchester, such
as we had last night, can afford, until
they have participated. The ladies
were all lovely beyond computation, and
the gentlemen courteous y sociable; ev-
cry condition, indeed, was present to
make one happy and contented with
life. The host was ever present, and
by his modest solicitude rendered all
comfortable and easy; but to the hos
tess is certainly due the need of praise
for her untiring efforts to have all enjoy
the evcning-especially in supplying
the grosscr needs Of our natures in pan
dcring to our appetites for something
good to cat, Mrs. Murrcll is a dccided
success. We have rarely witnessed
such a profusion of good things, and so
admirably served. Everything passed
off pleasantly, with notan occurrence to
mar the happiness of any one.
Mr.. Biddle is a graduate Of the TheO-
logical Department Of Lebanon univcr-
sity, and is a rising young minister of
the C. p. Church, and is now in charge
of a congregation at Gibson City, Iii.
1t is needless that we should say any
thing aught in praise Of Miss Mollie, the
fair and amiablc bride. Hers is one Of
the purest, most lovely characters that
has ever been developed in this genial
cline, so productive Of young ladies Of
the highest, noblcst type Of pure woman
hood. While it is painful to us to part
with her, she goes out upon the broad,
tempestuous sea of life with the warmest
of her many friends and
admirers, and the earnest hope that the
clouds that must, ever anon, darken our
skies will have for her the warmest,
brightest silvery Innings that nothing
but happy, joyous experiences will be
accorded to her; that every flower that
blooms along her pathway will be
rreighted with the most fragrant per-
fume.
The happy couple will depart for
their future home to-day, and will carry
with them the good wishes Of all.

edent in the same line. The merchants
of New Orleans thus upon one occasion
saved the credit Of Louisiana. Mr..
Jones has retired from politics and from
business long ago. He has no interest
in the State beyond that Of Il lofty
pride and of man in the country he
will soon live his children to battle in.
There are many more than 1000 men
who could pay their part and leave an
imperishable monument and Il title OF
nobility better than dukedom to their
children. But could the State afford
it? A people show themselves worthy
of prosperity by the manner in which
they deal with difficulties. IF Tonnes
seeans are worthy, they will bear their
own burdens. Is there a man who will
hesitate to bear his share? Is there Il
man who will say he is unwilling to
bear Il slight increase Of taxation when
an aged patriot, grown grey in the SER
vice Of his State, with Il name unspottcd,
who is willing to bear one two-thous-
andth part in II State where there are
10000 people and 100000 voters ?
The example should make the man who
thinks Of reputation shrink back in
shame Mr.. Jones is q man who never
speaks idly; he means exactly what he
says. But if the people Of Tennessee
expect future such as ought to grow
out Of their past and such as the resour-
ccs Of the State entitle Il manly people
to expect, they will shoulder their own
burdens and allow no man to bear more
| than his proper share.

with them the good wishes OF all.
The political amenities in the State
canvass in Tennessee are far from the
Home Journals ideas Of what they
should be. We can see no reason for
such bitterness as exists between Wilson
men and Wright men. The Wilson
mci, especially, seem to have forgotten
that Il Republican candidate is in the
field. And many of them believe that
Wilson will get more votes than Haw-
kins. Rest assured, then, that he will
have to get 100000. Hayes, in 1876,
got nearly 10000, and Mr.. II. F. Girls
com, Chairman of the Republican Com
grcssional Executive Committee Of the
Third District, and Secretary of the Re.
publican State Executive Committee, Is
not far wrong when he says that "thc
Republicans, under the spur Of n hope
eff success, will poll IL larger vote than
ever before in the history Of the State.
He further says that they have very
reasonable hopes of making large gains
in the Legislature. ave have says
he, "but q members Of the Legislature
now, and | do not think it possible for
orr vote in the next General Assembly
to fall below thrty-fve, and there is Il
bare possibility of our having a majori-
ty. If it were possible for us to make a
proper campaign, | should consider it
very feasible to gain control of the next
Legislature and send Republican to
the l.. S. Senate" We know Mr..
Griscom personally. He is editor OF
the Chattanooga Commercial, has made
a thorough canvass Of East Tennessee,
and is in a position to speak from the
cards, and we do not underestimate
what he says.
Now, if Hawkins gets 100000 votes,
there are left about 1913, 900 votes to be
divided between Wright, Wilson and
Edwards. Edwards will surely get
$4,000. He got Is, 900 before. Now,
divide 10000 between Wright and
Wilson and bet, if you dare, that Haw-
kins will not be elected. We know it is
customary to exaggerate the strength OF
the man you are for. The Home Jour
nal has no liking for this sort of cam,
paigning. We tell you that Hawkins
is certain to be our next Governor. In
view of this deplorable political situa-
ton there ought to be some compromise
between the Wright and Wilson wings
of the Democracy, just as we wanted to
compromise at 50-4 with the bondhold-
crs. Instead of that, the breach is
widening daily, and Griscom says it
cannot he closed. Besides, there is
much lying on both sides. 1t is known
that, for personal reasons, we objected
to Judge Wright. All this we have ex.
plained heretofore. But he is the regu-
ular nominee, is man of brilliant in
tellect and oratorical powers, and is
running upon platform we heartily en-,
dorse. We hoisted his name as mat
ter of princil ;, and feel it our duty, as
