During the canvass resulting in the
selection Of Judge Hawkins as tho
next governor of Tennessee. Hon.
John V. Wright and Hon. S. +. Will
son bore through nearly every county
in the state, with great credit to their
respective carties, and much distlnc.
tion to themselves, the standards Of
the organizations whose representa-
tives they were. The personal rela-
tions of these gentlemen were ever OF
the friendliest character, the most
heated debates failing to make them
forget that they were members of the
same party. Although striving to at
tain the same end, neither took
undue advantage of the other,
notwithstanding that in politics,
as in love, all is regarded as
fair. The campaign was conducted on
the most honorable basis, and looking
back upon one Of the most strongly
contested political battles ever fought
in Tennessee, neither has the slightest
reason for regret. Zach did his duty
in the fullest sense Of the word, and
the adhereuts Of the gallant son Of
Maury, and of the ehiyalrous leader Of
Sumner are proud Of their chieftain.
The past should be and VIC hope is
forgotten. Tennessee needs the aid o.
every citizen to advance her interests
aud we believe that upon no men with
in her borders can she depend with
greater confdencs, than the late can
didates for chief ruler Of The common
wealth.

THE New York Herald thus sums
up the net result of the late election:
The republican ticket has 2lO elec
toral votes, and Oregon is still to be
heard from. This is 25 more than a
majority.
The next house will contain 152 re-.
publicans and l4l democrats.
The senate will be a tie, the vice
president casting the deciding vote for
the republicans.
An active and vigilant minority can
be Of great service to the country.
The democrats are in a position to do
that service. If they are virtuous
they may be happy, though, as a Cali.
fornian remarked, they will not have
a good time.

Fire YesterdnY.

Between nine and ten o'clock yes
terday a fire broke out, caused by a
defective fue, in double tenement
one story house belonging to Herman
Glindecamp, on the south side of
Vance street, Nos. 367 and 369, near
Lauderdale, occupied by Mr.. Veto
Barton and Mr.. Charles Baurue. The
houses, worth between three and four
thousand dollars were destroyed ow.
ing to a lack of water supply. The
water works were not in operation and
the nearest public cistern being at the
corner of Lauderdale and Linder.
Engine No. 3, on DeSoto street, r.
paired to the scene, attracted there by
the smoke, but their hose, $50
feet in length, failed to reach the nee
essary distance, and the delay of No,
rs carriage, owing to an accident
which befell the engine near Avery
street, did not arrive to extend the
connection until the fire was well ad-
vanced. The neighbors in the yicin-
ity labored earnestly to remove the
furniture of the burning tenement, as
we'll as of those near by; and though
partially saved, the loss is consider,
able. The house was insured in Marx
& Bensdorfs agencies. Mr.. Lewis
Goldsmith, who resides close to the
burned tenements, had his houshold
goods removed and some damage re.
suited, which is covered by a policy
in Hirsch & Gropauors agencies.

will Make his Way and his
Mark In the World.

Julius Brush, a little Hebrew
scarcely fourteen years old, and small
for his age at that, is one of the Invest
boys on the Mississippi river. His
home is at Helena, but he is we'll
known in Memphis and at other
points up and down the river. Our
acquaintance with him began a year
or two ago, when he began to order a
small number of LEDGERs. A steam
boat clerk promised to stand good for
weekly bills, if necessary, but these
we're always promptly paid, and when
the clerk left the boat and the line,
julius Brush had established a credit
with this Office on his own account.
He has, by his indomitable energy
and his attention to business, and his
politeness to every one, made hosts of
friends, and built up a paying little
trade in LEDGERs. His orders are
always filled, and he never fails to
square his weekly accounts. In Orde
to make it pay, he has to be at the
wharfboat nearly all night sometimes,
waiting for the down boat that brings
his LEDGERs, and he snatches a little
sleep on a bench or in a chair. AT
daylight he is on the streets with his
bundle of LEDGERs of the previous
evening and his voice is heard until
the last paper is disposed of. He sells
several dozen every morning. The
people of Helena cannot possibly get
an outside paper on as quick time as
this. To them the LEDGER is as a
morning paper, without competition
at their breakfast tables. This boy
will succeed in life if he lives. He
has three of the great requisites, in
dustry, integrity and an accommo'
dating disposition, Many little acts
of courtesy and assistance for steam
boat men have won their good will and
not one of them think of charging him
when he wants to come to Memphis.
He will, no doubt, own a steamboat
or a line some day.
Many a young strong man, ratherto
nice to do rough or hard work, pre-
ferring tolive off a hard pressed father
and mother, and borrow spending
money from acquaintance at large
might learn a valuable lesson from
this go ahead boy. We predict for
him a big success in life, and hope
that many others may be inspired by
this article to strike out and be some
body. Where there is a will there is
always a way.
