Garfeld's letter on cheap Chinese
labor, in which he advocates its adop.
ton TO our industries, is only in ac-
cordance with his course in congress.
The record of General Garfield on the
bill to restrict Chinese immigration is
as follows:
On the 18th Of January, 1879, the
bill passed the house by 155 yeas to
70 nays, General Garfield lodging the
vote. The bill went to the senate, where
it was amended, and passed finally by39
yeas to27 nays. When the amended bill
wss returned to the house Mr.. White
moved to lay bill and amendment on
the table, which would kill the bill il
successful, and General Garfield voted
for the motion. The motion failed by
95 yeas and l4l nays, and the bill
finally passed on the I'D Of February.
The president vetoed the bill on the
9TH Of March. and on the question
whether the bill should pass over the
veto the yeas were 40 and the nays
&c, and General Garfield voted against
the passage of the bill
Garfield therefore wants the Chinese
not in California alone but through
out the country.

TO OUR CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIBERS.

The position Of the LEDGER in the
gube.natorial canvass has enlisted a
hearty support in many parts of the
state where it was before known only
by name. AT the present time the dai
ly or weekly reaches, in considerable
numbers, every county in West and
and Middle Tennessee, as well as a
gOOdly number of subscribers
beyond the mountains. From
a scattering circulation beyond
the Tennessee river we have
run up to a big list never before at
tanned 50 far from home by a Mem
phis paper. We are in accord with
popular feeling and common interests
whatever may be the result of this
election. The LEDGER was the only
daily democratic paper that fought
and exposed the injustice Of the fund
ing bill aud it was under the same
business and editorial management
then as now. Without belongin- to
any extreme wing or element OF
the party, we have well de-
fined opinions in regard to the state
debt question and occupy a position
Independent Of any clique or faction.
The word bolter or repudiator ha.
no terrors for us, The latter was gra-
tuitously bestowed upon the LEDGE
seven year ago, when, single-handed
we demanded that the equities of tn,
people should be recognized in an,
settlement that might be made o
the state debt. There are NOR,
Of the so-called regulators now thar
we're then. We have company, GOO,
honest company, and the column will
grow until it prevails. The battle i
not altogether won even though vii
son is elected. Eternal vigilance /
the price Of liberty. We hope to bea
from our new, aswell as old friends ate
the election, let it go as it .may. w.
will, as a matter of course, devote les
space to state politics hereafter, in or
der TO make room for other matters o
current interest, but the people ma
depend upon it that the LEDGER i
enlisted for the war and will fight /
out. 1t will be our aim, however, t,
make it a better paper in a genera
way, in matterand varietythan durinl
the exciting political canvass abou.
to close Campaign subscribers VIII,

furnished specimen copies of the daily

Blount County Democrat, 9th.
Judge John i. T. SDeed, %elector
for the state at large, spoke in Mary
vile last Saturday to a large crowd,
both democrats and republicans. He
explained at length the character Of
Garfield, as portrayed in his record in
congress, and showed why we should
have a pure man for such an exalted
position; a bad man aud a good plat
form will not work for good, the
platform being mere promises. He
explained how the republicans caused
the hard times of 1875 and '76, by re-
suming spooie payment at a time when
We we're not prepared for il, and by
demonetizing silver, and that the
democrats brought silver back to lis
standard, and made strides by its
economy 10 prepare for the resumption
Of specie payment. He interspersed
his speech with a few well prepared
anecdotes, illustrative Of the points
which he so well established. The
Judge made a good impression, and il

marvellous light and liberty and demo.

nullity pronounced accordingly. Ev-

worker, tho genius, the man, who has
oficiated on so many important oc-

his order, as well as achieving laurels
in fields of art and letters.
The census bureau will in a few
more weeks have in the bulk of much
important work, and will in December
make a report to congress, Of work
completed in the population division.
0verfve hundred clerks are busily
employed now in this bureau, a large
number of these being ladies. Con-
sidering this is under the interior de-
partment, and the bulk ofthe employees
but recently taken on the rolls, one
looking at them, wonders what they
did and where, before this grace of
employment was extended if necessity
drives them to seek this government
position. By one familiar with facts,
it is always conceded that nothing but
stern necessity impels a clerk to seek
government employment.
General f. A, Walker, the superin-
tendent of census, is an able and popu-
lar man, of very courtly manners and
address. His good judgment and ex-
%ecutive ability are conspicuous;
and it never was better evil
denced than in the fact of his
securing so able a colleague and as
sistant in his chief clerk, Colonel c..
w. Seaton, of New York. Colonel
Seaton's ability bad been very con-
spicuOus in his taking the census of
New York state. One sometimes
must smilingly conjecture how Geper-
al Walker will find the classic shades
of Yale again, after the continuous
toll here Of two years, where among
several hundred ladies he had to move
daily in his official capacity, the sub
ject Of praise and esteem for his admi-
rable qualities in every respect. One
might suppose hat such a fame could
be very much missed, after having
frightened so many months of such a
period.
The tenth census will prove the
most complete and accurate Of any
preceding one. You may rely on
that. RoMAINE.

sisted on a heroic course, which prov
ed entirly too great a strain on his
