Mourning.
New York Times.l

Visitors to this country are greatly surpris-
ed at the long period during which people
wear mourning and remain in secIusion.
The custom must be purely American, for it
does not obtain elsewhere. In England
widow or widower may, with perfect proprie-
ty, divest themselves of mourning attire at
the end of twelve months, although, in most
cases, they retain it, in some degree, while
longer. Mourning is worn for parents for
one year. but changed to lighter mourning
after six months, and the same as regards
the mourning of parents for children. Ex-
cept in the case of widows and widowers, II
is not deemed at all obligatory to abstain
from society for more than six months, al
though in the case of parents who have lost
children it would be unusual to go to large
entertainments before the expiration of
year. Where parent has died we'll
stricken in years, and quite in ordinary
course of nature, it would excite no remark
were the children to go to quiet dinner par
ties after three months. A two years
mourning and seclusion would, in such case,
be deemed affectation. Mourning is here
carried to such lengths that some people
really pass large part OF their lives in
weeping and seclusion, the death of father,
mother, m0tnor, ana SISTER OF DrOtner max
ing an aggregate of five years. It is ques-
ton whether we are not carrying the thing
too far. Life was surely not made to be
spent in permanent seclusion on account Of
bereavement, more especially for those who,
in the ordinary course of nature, must prede-
ease us. Thousands of persons would glad
Iy cut short their mourning but for the ty-
ranny of fashion, which arbitrarily rules in
this as in SO much besides.

Intimidation.
Washington Post, Feb 10.
1t is probable that the House election
committee will report its conclusions and
recommendations in the Donnelly- Wash
burn case at very early date, and it is GER
tain that tho sub committee, now engaged
in digesting the testimony and arguments.
will rest from its labors some time next
week, and present reports to the general
committee. The Republican members of
the minor committee appear disposed to
evade the issue under the guise Of asking
for time. The record and testimony have
been open to their inspection ever
since the beginning of the session,
and they have had month to deliberate
over the arguments. Still they ask further
time. This appears to be part of system
to attempt to clog the work of the commit
tee. A meeting of the sub committee in
charge of this case was called for Monday
last, full notice being given every member.
The three Democratic members appeared at
the appointed time, but the two Republicans
did not materialiZs. The chairman, Judge
Manning, then announced that he was tired
of this child's play; that he would call an
other meeting, and if the Republicans still
persisted in attempting to block the pro-
gress of business by their absence,
he would proceed without them. So
much for the charge that has been generally
circulated that the Democrats of the sub
committee are acting in this matter without
consultation with the minority. There will
necessarily be two reports. The majority re-
port will favor depriving Mr.. Washburn Of
his seat, on the grounds Of having obtained
it by fraud, bribery and intimidation. The
report will be sustained by ample evidence
and startling facts. The minority report
will contend that the reputed majority of the
contestee, three thousand, is too large to
have been altogether gained lin the
manner charged by the contestant.
The reports will be the subject of bitter con-
troversy in the committee, and may be ex-
pected to form the nucleus of great nation
al debate in the House. High ground will
be taken by Democrats of the committee and
maintained until the end. They will be pre-
pared to meet all questions and attacks, all
charges of unfairness or partisanship that
may bs imputed to them, and it is believed,
from the testimony to accompany the report,
that the verdict will be shown to be one to
commend itself to all lovers of fairness and
the virtue and purity of the ballot.

The Standards Position.

The STANDARD is for united demo-
craoy in both State and National poll
tics, and against all partizan feuds, and
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which tend to
divide the democracy Of the nation, the
State or the county, come they whence
they may.
The STANDARD is m favor of the
nominee of the regular democratic con.
ventions from the county officers up to
the President of the United States,
whether they are from Warren county
or any other county, from Tennessee or
any other State, from the North OF
South, East or West.
The STANDARD is in favor of low
taxes, and an honorable settlement Of
the State debt at the lowest possible
figure. If the Legislature and bond
holders can agree upon settlement al
the market price of the bonds or lower
we will favor it provided the parties
agree to it.

The time is at hand when the peo-
pie should begin to look out for a suit
able and proper man to represent
them in the next Legislature. There
will no doubt come before that body
questions Of vital interest to the whole
people, it is important therefore that
the will of a majority be represented,
and there is no other way by which
this can be accomplished than to select
representative who is in sympathy
with the masses on all questions of f.
nancial policy. We would suggest the
name of Spencer Safely as man emf.

honesty and integrity, the county would
reflect honor on herself in sending him

The New York Convention.


The democratic State convention of
New York, met last Tuesday, and was
decidedly in all its measures and men
sent to Cincinnati, for Mr.. Tilden. 1t
did not instruct, but elected Tilden
delegates and fully endorsed the sage
of Gramercy Park.
The Kelley faction also met at a diff
ferent place, and proposed terms Of
peace, which were waved by the
regular convention. The outlook for
the Democracy is now most cheering,
from the fact that it is almost certain
that Mr.. Tilden will withdraw at
the Cincinnati Convention and then

DESCRIPTION OF JACKSON

In stature Jackson was tall and
straight. His body was slender, but
powerful and capable OF enduring toll.
His figure was commanding, his gait
was full of dignity. The features of
his face were large, his eyes blue,
bright and piercing. His nose was
long, eye brows prominent and arched,
His complexion was that of an old SOL
der. He practiced justice and the
right from an Unborn love of equity.
BY easy manners he always made him:
self agreeable to all who wished to ap-
proach him. Although irritable by
nature, he was affable among friends,
kind to servants, polite towards stran-
gers, humane to soldiers, generous to
the unfortunate and courteous to all.
The name and fame of the Hero of
New Orleans will endure as long as
the Father of Waters shall bear the
riches of the great valley of the West
on his waves to the delta of the Missis-
sippi and the Gulf of Mexico!

this fact, and for this reason Webster's

A FABLE WITH A MORAL.
The Quaker and his Honest Friend.

Once upon time there lived in an
Eastern State an honest Quaker, who
possessed large share of worldly goods.
The benevolence of his heart often en-.
couraged his neighborS to approach him
in order to borrow money. AS he new
er took more than lawful interest, you
may be sure he had many and frequent
applications, yet he was not slow to
scrutiuizo the securities offered.
His fame and liberality soon spread
to neighboring cities and towns, which
brought many who had collaterals to
offer as securities for loans. Among
others, a committee of finance of dis
tant city approached our Quaker friend
and laid before him the securities of
the corporation, pledging all personal
and real estate as the basis of the loan
running definite number of years.
The old gentleman after thorough
investigation and renewed pledges of
the corporation loaned the money. AT
ter time the citizens Of the corpora
ton, to which he had loaned the mon
ey, fell out and dreadful feud ensued.
A great deal of the realty as we'll as
the personal property, not only of the
participants but Of the collaterals, was
destroyed. In the mean time the inter-
est of the debt was going on and the
city was now unable to meet its sacred
liabilities, and after peace and quiet
were restored and municipal authority
again resumed lawful control, the ques-
ton as to how to meet the interest
arose. Some proposed one thing, some
another, as the best mode of paying
the honest old man his interest. At
this moment the old man appeared and
proposed, as they had had hard time
: and a great amount of their property
: had been destroyed by their own folly,
to give up the original and take a new
t obligation for one half and reduce the
D rate of interest to four per cent. in
stead of six as before. To this the
: council agreed but reserved the righr
+ to take the vote of the citizens on the
payment of that amount. The result
S was that those who had the ta2
to pay voted for this generous PROPOSE
u ton, while those who had no taxabl,
II property voted against it and carried
the no payment doctrine The homes

The Era says March Is, 1880;


"0rganizel Organized!
cit behooves the low tax party
throughout the State to organize as
speedily as possible for the approach
ing campaign"
"The prize" Eyes the prize of office
"to be won or lost is worth all the time
and trouble that may be necessary to
accomplish the object"
"Let the order pass from Shelby to
Carter-organize, organize. All hope
of a reconciliation between the two ele.
ments in the democratic party has been
abandoned"
April /, 1880, the editor Of the Era
calls county convention for the demo-
crazy of Warren and says: GA full
representation of the civil districts in
county convention is earnestly desired"
Is this for the democratic party of
which "all hope has been abandoned :"
In the same issue the Era says: "As
announced by us last week, drawn from
the out-givings of the american, there
will be straight out, red hot fight on
the State debt question"
The Era declares "straight-out red
hot fight on the State debt question.
Hence mo hope of reconciliation" in the
democratic party.
April Is, 1880, the Era copies the
resolutions of the conventions held il
Wilson and Trousdale counties anC
calls them the action of the democrat
ic party"
One of those resolutions says; "thd
the State debt question should enter int
the congressional elections, and that w
will not vote for any man for congress
who was in favor of fixing the infamou
railroad debt upon the people" An
other resolution recommends r. E
Thompson for Governor instead of Col
Savage.
April %, 1880, the Era says: 81
seems hard for some designing men t

Yes Mr.. Era, it did seem exceeding
ly hard for those Wilson and Trou!
dale county men to separate the two, an
you yourself say that their action we

where they hold that the State del

But the wonder of all the wonders

The Era says in the same issue an
article, April %, 1880, that "Bein
Y a low tax or high tax democrat, do
[ not make the one less or the other be
