How the Rivals stand.

Springfield Republican.
As the conventions grow more frequent,
the prospects Of the two candidates who
have behind them the best organizations
improve upon the surface. Illinois slowly
settles toward Grant, mot with enthusiasm,
but with an increasing probability that
Grant will have the vote oil the State at
Chicago II he is still a candidate in June.
The vigorous work in Grants behalf in
Illinois is having its effect in adjoining
States, and while Iowa is still pointed 10.
ward Blaine, and sober Republicans say
that Grants nomination would turn Wis.
consin into doubtful State, there are in.
dications that Grant ia stronger now than
he was with the politicians II weaker with
the people. Texas, however, gives set
back by pronouncing much less positively
for Grant than has been expected. Blaine
has carried Kansas by clean majority in
the convention, which was expected by
the Grant managers two months ago, when
Grants boom was bigger than it is to-day:
but the Grant vote is smaller than
was expected. In the South, Sher-
mans laboring canvass in Ohio
and his failure to sweep his own
State with rush, has seriously crippled
the secretary's boom. The politicians who
are doing up the votes from the South in
little bundles and delivering them marked
for one candidate and another are shrewd,
quick.witted men. They are not likely to
jump till Illinois, the pivot Of the whole
campaign within the Republican party,
has gone one way or the other; but for
the present they are inclining to Grant.
Sherman has added two to his hard won
delegates in North Carolina, and measur.
ably holds his own in South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida; but he appears to
have lost in Kentucky, which was con-
coded TO him. Mississippi inclines to
Grant and so does Louisiana. In spite OF
Grants advances at the South, however,
the crushing failure about his campaign
80 far is that while early in January his
friends only claimed q majority OF 80 to 40
votes, be has already lost Indiana 80
votes, Vermont 10 votes and Rhode Island
s votes. He Is certain to lose Massa-
chusetts, the pivotal State in the East, and
the possible gain Of Illinois leaves him be-
low a majority on the first ballot, the in
dispensable prerequisite to his nomina-
ton.

It's an encouraging sign for the Liberals
that the betting at the Carlton Club, the

tme avo the Tories were offering odds OF
three to one that they would have ma

Of the Tory cause is further shown by the
amount Of buster its adherents indulge
IN, and the abuse its organs constantly

IN CONSTANT DREAD OF DEATH


The Car. Feeling Of Fear and the
Friends Who Protect Him.
From The New York Times.
A mau upon whose life repeated
attempts have been made, and who is
surrounded by continual danger, always
has certain interest from that fact alone.
When he happens to be the ruler Of a
great nation, as Alexander II. is, the in
terest Is naturally heightened. The Car
Is said, by one who seems TO be well &C.
ouainted with his character and private
lie, to be haunted-not without abundant
reasonably constant fear OF assassination,

the recent eEortsto killhim. When under
theAhadow Of such apprehension, he is
very gloomy, and seldom speaks to any
body. The mood does not last, however,
aud relieved OF it, he appears cheerful,
aud occupies much time in changing his
clothes, about which he is very fastidious,
as they set Off his fine figure TO advantage.
His father, Nicholas, knowing his sons
apathetic disposition, felt that he would,
when Emperor, need devoted friends.
Consequently, he surrounded him with a
number OF siaunch, trustworthy young
men, who are to this day his associates
and intimates, and who subsist by his
bounty. Fond Of throwing of the imperi.
al dignity in their company, he is hail.
fellow -well.met with them, and enjoys the
hours SO spent more than anything else.
He frequently plays at cards with them,
and much TO their profit, as he loses
whatever sums Of money he learns that
they want. His generosity in this particu-
lar is so well understood that they know.
when they sit down, how the games will
turn out. The Gar is a goodshot, which,
happily for him, his enemies are not, and
Is quite proud Of beautiful pelisse, made

gentleman, aud Is at heart so amiable and
sympathetic that he would be generally
liked II he were not an Emperor. The

iussy and irritable, and It is often said
that delightful fellow has been crushed
by crown. His habits are simple; he
eats very sparingly and sleeps III. His

STATE POLITICS.
Coupons Refunded 10 Increase
the Debt-The Late Con.
ventt0u.

NEwRERS, TENN, October a. 1880
EDIToR LEDeER;-We hear a great
deal said about the rapid increase Of
our state debt, which really alarms the
people. 1 take the position that the
debt cannot increase unless we allow
compound interest, and that it would
require a special act of the legislature
authorizing this to be done to make it
legal and binding against the state.
If this be not 50 why do we fund the
interest or past due coupons, or why
do the holders Of bonds ask to have
the past due coupons funded, if it is
not to make them draw interest? The
only objection urged by anybody
against the funding bill Of 1873 was
that it would be compromising inter-
est. When the state issues her bond
for n thousand dollars to run ten
years, bearing five per cent interest,
payable semi-annually, evidenced BY
coupons attached TO said bond of one
thousand dollars would be attached,
twenty coupons of twenty-five dollars
each, making the debt one thousand
five hundred dollars instead of one
thousand dollars, and unless it is ex-
pressly provided that the bond is pay.
able Mt the option of the state, we
cannot forcepayment until maturity,
neither eau the bondholder enforce
the payment Of anything more than
the bond and the coupons attached
without special authority by the legis.
lature. II | am correct, then we can
decrease or diminish the debt by pay
ing the interest as it falls due. But
the debt does not increase any in
amount by not paying the interest,
unless BY special authority. The ques-
ton arises then will any future legis-
lature authorize the compounding Of
interest. IL is claimed by legal au-
thority that a coupon after due bea's

last week came over, and is now a

Several Pistols Drawn and Two
Wen Shot.

Pamela Star, l6.l
During the performance of COup's
show in Sardis Tuesday afternoon, the
spectators were startled aud frightened
by the rapid firing OF pistols near the
circus RUG, For d tune everything
was confusion and disorder aud almost
a general stampede ensued. The
principals in the ~disgraceful and out
rageous affair we're two young white
men, Lou WoOtten and Dick Hubbard.
Each fired three or four shots. WOot-
ten was wounded in the back of the
mead and in the forehead by a blow
from apistol; Hubbard received a shot
in the left arm. The officers, of whom
there were several, surrounded the
shootists, took them in charge and in
a measure restored goodorder. After
their wounds were dressed by the
physicians. WoOtten and Hubbard
we're permitted to quietly leave for
their homes in the country, as il they
had not outraged peace, good order
and public deeency by recklessly and
shamelessiy e~ndangering the lives OF
ladies aud children of all ages, 10 say
| nothing OF men. This brutal conduct,
this heartless disregard of human life,
threw one lady into commissions and
caused a serious and perhaps fatal ac-
cident to happen to another. Shame,
OH the shame of it
Hubbard and WoOtten were able TO
be up and walking around on Wednes-
day morning. Marshal Brideer went
after these meu Wednesday, but up to
this writing has not returned. Hub
bardl lives in Tate county, but when
last heard from, was stopping a few
miles east OF Sardis WoOtten lives in
Lafayette county, eighteen miles east

the graYest and most cruel and terrible
crimes ever committed in Pamela
