Wilson in Coffee.

Manchester Guardian, Estate Credit .
Our Wilson friends claim Coffee
county by large majority, and we
copcede all that they claim when they
say large. But we desire to put on
record guess, in solid figures SO that
our judgement on the vote Of the state
may be proven either correct or incor-
rect when the result is known. Coffee
county will vote about 1850 (not
more) on the I'd day Of November.
We give Wilson t475i Wright 300
Hawkins 2S5. This estimate gives
Wilson a majority over Wright O
1885. The majority may bo increased
OF lessened but to no great extent, b!

in East Tennessee to enable something
like correct estimate to be made Of
the final result. East Tennessee
sends cheering news to Middle and
West Tennessee. Wilson is not only
even with Wright, but has passed him
and the current is fast settling on
him as the only chance to defeat Haw g.
kins. This may be relied on as cor
rect, and will be fully demonstrated
by the final result. If Middle and
West Tennessee will do their whole
duty to the cause Wilson's election is
an assured fact.

TAh AVIS"
GHRISTTANSTED ST. CROLX,
Saturday., 18th September 1880

In the st. Thomas Times of the 9th
inst, Mr.. P. G. Birch publishes a let
ter which he under 9Th of April this
year sent to the Editor of the ST.
Croir Auis, who told him "that
nothing unpleasant to Government
could find space in said paper" It is
necessary that we should correct this
statement When Mr.. Birch address,
ed himself to the Editor of this paper
concerning the insertion Of his com
munication about the Offices of In
spector of Customs and Postmaster in
Frederiksted, about his at one time
pending duel with the Inspector of
Customs, and about other matters
concerning Mr.. Birch, we told him
that when his communication was not
inserted it was on account OF its con-
tents, but without any regard to the
Government: for we presumed that
Mr.. Birch, from his point of view,
would certainly attribute our refusal
to the latter motive. This s~upposition
seems to have taken such fast hold of
Mr.. Birch that he now, after the expi-
ration of five months, refers to what
passed in a way which, to use the
mildest language, must be called in
the highest degree incorrect. If the
whole contents of his communication
are considered no one will be surprised
that we declined to make ourselves
the organ of bis private squabbles.

MIR. Editor,

The accompanying article, for
which | beg insertion in your valu-
able paper, | have translated from the
Dogbzod for 18th August &C. for "a
rious reasons. III the first place to
show how English interference po-
Icy is looked upon in one of those
weaker countries, where England
runs no risk by making use of it;
next to prove, that England might
advantageously spend her ener-
gy in remedying her w misgovern-
ment than in imagining such mlsgov-
eminent in other countries. Further
more to point out the sad difference
between the condition Of Irish and
Westindian labourers. and finally to
show my Irish fellow citizens in this
island, that Denmark is rich in her
sympathy, wherever such sympathy
is in its right place, reminding them
at the same time, that everything Is
not so pleasant at all times in "Green
Erin, and that, perhaps after all,
they fare better where they are.

IF Turkey were not reduced to
such a state it might feel itself ur-
gently called upon to reply to Cos

sending q Pascha to London to repre-
sent to Queen Victoria and the Eng
lish Ministry the strong necessity
for doing something IF importance for
Door Ireland. There is no doubt,
that the Irish would be very glad, If
the self-government, which England
demands for East Roumelia, were
granted to them and amongst the
improvements, for which England
interests herself so warmly in Armenia
there are no doubt some, that would
be particularly acceptable to Ireland.
To crown the whole, England might
then appoint one Of the Home-rule
leaders as Viceroyo Of that island, vested
with the same authority, which She
sought for her unfortunate protegeMId-

of the Syrian Government. The Eng
ish Government need not, however,
~apprehend that special ambassadors
from other countries will be sent to
London to offer them a repetition OF
the lectures and cheap remedies,
which she is always prepared to sug-
gest, when she believes to have dis

countries, however only in such coun-
tries as are so weak, that without
running any risk, she a offer them
whatever she chooses. Only. one

also served out, and no election of Mem
bers for any Of the Boards had been re-

DEMOCRATS are just now laughing
over a picture which is intended to
illustrate republican efforts to ram
sack Gen. Hancock's record for
something to his detriment. A sim
liar picture might be made showing
how the democrats in this territory
are "going for" Mr.. Brents' past
record. After all their exhaustive
investigation they have succeeded
only in unearthing the fact that Mr..
Brenls has been guilty of the helm
GUS offense Of wearing fifteen dol
lar suit Of clothes. They are get.
ting along splendidly, and will
make a tremendous (D showing on
their findings.

ONE of the strange anomalies in
politics occurred when the Demo.
cratic Territorial convention nomina.
ted w. r. Andrews, of LaConner,
a lifelong republican, for the Office
of Prosecuting Attorney for this ju.
dicial district. Mr.. Andrews was a
candidate before the republican ter.
ritorial convention for the nomina.
ton for Joint Councilman in his dis.
trict. Failing by one vote only OF
obtaining it, be accepted a place on
the democratic ticket, only seven
days aftsrward. Truly, his consist
ency is sublime. r.

that he is going to congress as lib.

the next that he will accomplish
wonders in WI shington because be
is a partisan democrat; w. II.
White, who publicly renounced the
democratic party last fall and said
he would be republican hereafter,
and w. r. Andrews, the defeated
candidate for the Legislature, in

ticket, and life long republican,

THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.

A grand demonstration came off
last evening in this place, upon
which occasion a large and enthusi-
astc meeting in Fowler's Hall was
addressed by Delegate Brents, Judge
Jacobs, DR.. Minor and Mr.. Ballard.
The meeting was announced by
booming cannon and bonfres. The
seating room in the hall was fully
occupied and many were compelled
to stand. Judge Briggs, chairman
of the republican committee, presid'
ed. Mr.. Brents was introduced first,
and entertained the audience for
nearly an honr with a plain state
ment Of facts as to the position of
the two parties upon the questions
at issue in this territory; especially
upon the statehood question; the
Indian question; tho question Of
Chinese immigration, &c. Finally
Mr.. Brents reoounted his doings as
our Delegate in Congress-, and
showed that he had neither been
idle nor representative Of one sec.
tion only. He was frequently ap.
plsuded. Mr.. Ballard was next in
troducei, and, in few pointed re-
marks, reviewed the issue between
himself and Mr.. Andrews, after
which he proceeded to punc:ure the
democratic statehood bubble in a
mastery manner. Judge Jacobs
was introduced after Mr.. Ballard,
and made brief speech that was
certainly one Of the happiest Of bis
life. He, like Mr.. Ballard, claimed
for Mr.. Brents personal worth and in.
tegrity fully equal to that Of Mr..
Burke, and superior working quail
ties as our Delegate. AT the close
Of Judge Jacobs address, Doctor
Minor was introduced and delivered
q most able and eloquent speech,
principally upon national issues.
His review of the history OF the
two great parties proved him to he
thoroughly well informed upon these
matters. His clear statement of the
facts that should guide US in select
ing our next Delegate to Congress
went far toward convincing every re-
publican auditor that it was the clear
duty Of the party to unitedly sup.
port Mr.. Brents, and at the same
time it was a powerful appeal to
democrats Of every position, and
state Of political belief. The meet
ing adjourned with three rousing
cheers for Delegate Brents.

TRr CAMPAIGN.

We recently had the pleasure OF
accompanying Mr.. Brents to few
of the speaking points in this and
Clalam counties. AT every place
our standard bearer was favorably
received, His straightforward, man.
ly addresses produced good impre :.
sion among those who were anxious
to see him and hear about his stew
ardship At Washington. There is
nothing of imagery in his rhetoric or
sophistry in his arguments, but there
is, as an honest farmer expressed ii,
''lots OF good horse sense" Judge
Jacobs, who also spoke at each of
these meetings, followed Mr..
Brents with stirring, logical and can.
did arguments interspersed and en-
hvened by wit and sarcasm that At
once pleased and interested the peo.
pie. 1t was ably and fairly demon
stEated that although Mr.. Brents had
been abused by democratic o. at ,rs
aad newspapers for accomplishing SO
Little as our Delegate, he had in re
slity done more for our territory than
any OF his predecessors in Office had
accomplished. Mr.. Ballard, repub.
lican candidate for Prosecuting At
torney IN This district, was along
also, and followed the other speakers
with q few appropriate and pleasing
remarks. Mr., Ballard has demon,
strated his fitness for the Office he
holds, and is also showing his ability
TO clearly grasp and forcibly illus
trate the political issues of the day.
At Port Discovery Doctor Minor
was present at the meeting and
made short speech just before the
audience was dismissed, in which he
took occasion to warmly eulogize
Mr.. Brents for the earnest and effec.
tive labors of that gentleman in
Congress. Altogether, the canvass
is doing q great deal OF good for
Mr.. Brsnts and for ,he republican
party in the Territory.

The Walls Walla "Union" is
afraid of !dissfection in the republi
can ranks on Puget SQUAD, and
urges Il 0 voters OF Eastern Wash
ington TO concentrate npon Mr..

tions. Brother "Union" don't be
alarmed BY the erratic and glariDgly
inconsistent course Of the Seattle
"Post." Don's imagine that the
Ward boys, are running the Puget
Sound country. Their portion of it
is exceedingly limited, especially
since their significant stop" has lost
them she confidence OF both parties.
The republicans Of this section OF our
territory st-od by Mr.. Brents nobly
last election, and they will do so
again. The voters of Western
Washington are too wise to raise q
sectional issue to any great extent,
at this stage of the history of the
territory. They have had nine.
tenths of the Delegates in the past,
and they are not disposed to be pig
gish.
