THE bill to give FitZ John Porter sixty
thousand dollars out of the United States
treasury, as pay for the time when he
wasn't in the army, was badly riddled by
Gen. LOgan's strong speech in the Sem
ate, last week. Fitz John Porter is not
in distress for money. During several
wears since he was dismissed from the
army he has been holding the Office of
commissioner of public works in New
York city, at salary of some ten thou
sand dollars year, it issaid. If the DEM
Ocrats should vote to give him that sixty
thousand dollars out of the United States
treasury, they ought to first require him
to disgorge the money he received from
New York city, because he certainly
couldn't have earned both salaries at
once. Porter, however, is good Demo-
crat and did good service for the con-
federate branch of the party, that branch
that wags the party to-day. during. the
late unpleasantness and of course 1t Is
in keeping with Democratic economy to
reward their friends, no matter how
much it costs the country.

The governor of Virginia has vetoed
the Riddleberger bill. He says the title
of the act, ''tO establish public credit, is
misnomer. the object being really to
repudiate large part of the state debt.
He holds that people, by repeated acts of
the assembly and by the constitution
adopted in 1866, have acknowledged as
due the entire principal, more than 3d.
OOO,OCO of which is now attempted to be
repudiated by this bill.

In Gov. GarcelOn's speech at Auburn,
Me-, Saturday night, before the election,
he said that if the voters believed he had
"fearlessly performed his duty under
the law and the constitution he wanted
them to vote the Democratic ticket on
Monday; but if they did not so believe, then
they ought to vote the Republican tick

gave Republican majority of 449. Last

The county undertaken at Indianapolis
having testified before the Voorhees, ne

Nov. % and Jan. Is last, he had buried
about thirty of the refugees, an exami-
nation of the records has been made,
showing that he inferred only eight,
most of them being small children. This

THE ''Scratchers" are evidently get
ing ready to come down gracefully.
Even George William Curtis is not so
bad as he tried to make people believe.
He is opposed to Grant. but he SAYS the
question is whether we shall have Re-
publican President, and it would be the
height of impudence for Republicans to
cut adrift and declare that under no cir
cumstances would they vote for the ex-
president.

The question OF the congressional nomina-
ton has been settled at last. The executive.
committee Of the district have determined
not to hold convention, inasmuch as there
is no opposition to Hon. Casey Young. They
have, therefore, presented that gentleman as
the nominee for congress of the Democratic
party. This il right. There is not Demo
crat in the State who will Object to it, and
there is good reason for believing that many
republicans (colOred as well as whitc) ana
grecnbackers will "come over and help to
elect him. In few days Colonel Young
will formally address his constituents anu
initiate canvass that we feel safe in pre-
dieting will be successful "by large Ii.

THE democracy of Tennessee, as
by Judge Wright favor
the lowest rate Of taxation. and the
lowest rate of settlement to be had.
So down with the blatant demo
goguery of high taxation. There is
not a man outside of idiOcy who favors
such a thing.

everybody is guilty Of fraud except
their Own sweet selves, every Govel:.-
or of Tennessee. wing and democratic.
every Legislature, all the cour:s-and
then see them try to lead the people |
into party revolt, by exciting their
passion and maligning the fair fame of
your hOn0red dead. And when you
have heard them, ask yourselves, is
this the democracy Of our fathers!
Did the democratic party ever join
in the hue and cry of farmers against
merchants, or merchants against farm
yrs-of the rich against the poor, or
the poor against the rich-Of the
Protestant against the Catholic, or the
Catholic against the Protestant-Oft the
learned against the unlearned, nr the
unlearned against the learned? Has
there ever been time when the grand
old democratic party fomented domes-
tic dissersions, and set one people
against another. if so, when was it?
When did they ever want to run
rough shod over our constitution and
representative government, and take
the law-making power from the Legis
lature, and the decision of legal ques-
tions from the judiciary, and refer
them without the forms Of law to
popular vote?
If the whole people of the STATE
could be gotten together in a jury
box, and hear all the testimony, and
all the argument and have the law
charged to them by an up light judge,
no democrat would hesitate to submit
to its-decision, but that is impossible,
and hence it was agreed in the con
s.itution that the Legislature should
make laws and levy taxes, the courts
should decide all questions of the
law, and the executive execute the
Law. But these newlights, these
latter-day saints, say they are unwi.-
ling to let the Legislature pass the
laws, or the judges who have been
elected by the people decide legal
questions. They say every Governor
you ever had was corrupt, your Legis-
latures, your judges, dead and living
were all corrupt, and ave alone are
left to tell the tale
Why did the democratic party OPP
pose the crusade ON foreigners and
Catholics? Was it because the party
were Catholics? No. It was because
it is grand old party, whose policy
is to build up everybody and pull
down none. 1t was religious liberty.
If the prejudices of the faction had
succeeded IN annihilating the Catho-
lies, they would next have turned OH
some one else. Why did the demo-
cratic party oppose DISTINGUISHING the
poor man, or the unlettered man?
Because it was faction making war on
another faction, and if they succeeded
they would soon turn with victorious
greediEess on another class, until or
liberties were gone.
:, Men of Hardcman, stop and think
before you allow these misguided men
to lead you away.
Rally around the old democratic
standard in the hands of Judge John
V. Wright, and add to the long list
of democratic victories one other
against those who have nothing tc
recommend for the good Of the whole
people, but who expect to get office
and thrive and fatten off of divided
party.

was presented one of the best entertain

theater was comfortably filled by an audi
ence which, judging from the applause,
highly appreciated all they saw. When
The curtain rose the first time sight was
presented which was perfectly grand. The
large stage of the theater was occupied by
about one hundred and fifty persons, rang
ing from the pert little Miss of nine or ten
summers to the full grown man, and these
graded to such nicely that the inclined
plain, extending from the back to the front
part of the stage, was perfect. The drill
though seemingly intricate, was performed
with the utmost exactness, which showed
admirable training. The tableaux pre-
sented were superb. Exercises on the
horizontal bar and climbing the Maypol'
were gone through with, which showed
agility, skill and muscle.
