The Inter-oceanic Canal Scheme.

The Inter-Oceanic Canal Scheme,
WASHINGTON. April 17.-Dr. Long, for
eleven years consul at Panama, testified be-
fore the committee on the inter-oceanic canal
that he had good opportunity to judge of the
various explorations and surveys made in that
country, and he believed all of them were
made hastily and incompletely and with re-
suits not sufficiently satisfactory to induce cap
ltallsts to invest money in any scheme founded
upon such basis.
Democratic Senators Consulting over
the Electoral Count.
The Democratic members of the Senate
committee on rules and of the Senate select
committee on the subject of counting the cleo

with view to agreeing upon some recon-
count to be taken by the Senate at this session.
1t was substantially decided to recommend
that the two houses Of Congress shall sadept
new JOINT rule, providing that, in case only one
certificate of the electoral vote of a state be
presented to Congress, it shall not be re-
jected, except by the affirmative vote of the
two houses and that, in case of dual returns,
neither shall be counted unless the two houses
agree that one of them is the true and va
lid return.
April Reports Of the Crops.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Returns to April
l show an increase in the area sown in wheat
last fall of 13 per cent. more than the fall pre-
vlous. In the area sown in rye there is a de-
cline of per cent. as compared with the pre-
vious year. The condition is SO, precisely the
same this April as last year.
There is a large increase in fall sown wheat
in those States which have heretofore shown
in the spring that the experiment was unfor-
fortunate, and all, particularly Iowa and Ne
braska report great disaster from the winter.
On the whole, the wheat crop thus far looks as
favorable as in the spring of 1878. The condi-
ton of live stock is favorable, better than for
several years. No disease is reported other
than cholera among swine, and that is no
worse if as bad as last year

GUBERNAT8RIAL.

1t il high time we were casting about
for the best and most efficient
man for governor of Tennessee.
Among the aspirants named for the
position, we unhesitatingly declare for
General Alexander Campbell, ofMad
ison county. As man, his charac-
ter is without spot or blemish; as a
lawyer, he is able and profound; as
leader, he is wise and conservative;
and as Democrat, he is simon pure.
In view of the great battle that is to
be fought for national supremacy, it
is eminently proper that the standard
bearer of Tennessee be an able states
man, and one true to the best inter
ests of the people, and such we find
in the gallant and knightly gentleman
whose candidacy we advocate. His
record as soldier is beyond reproach,
and his devotion to bis party in its
hours of greatest peril is welI-known
and cannot be gainsaid. Whenever
called upon to take the stump i'll sup
port of Democratic principals, or do
duty for the party, he never faltered
for moment, but responded with his
thrilling eloquence upon the hustings
and with words of wisdom in delibera-
tive assemblies. If there is a man
in the state prominently qualified to
perform the duties of Chief Executive
of our glorious commonwealth, it is
the honored son of old Madison, whose
election would shed luster upon Ten>
nessee and fully satisfy the demands
of the people. We dare say, should
General Campbell receive the nOmi>
nation in August he will make one of
the most brilliant and effective cam
vases ever known in the volunteer
state. In addition to this, no one is
more thoroughly conversant with the
crooked and perverse record of the
Republican nominee, Col. Hawkins,
than is Gen. Campbell. He has met
him on the stump in other days and
vanquished him. On all questions of
state polity, the gentleman whose
claims we advocate is sound and he is
in full accord with the people and the
party. After careful survey of the
situation we earnestly press the candi-
dacy of Gen. Alexander Campbell,
one of the greatest living Tennessee
ans.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-07-01

William H. English, our candidate
for Vice President, was born in Scott
county, Indiana. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1916: but devoted
most of his time to agricultural pur-
suits. In 1913 he was clerk in the
House of Representatives of the State.
During JAS K. Folks administra-
ton, he was clerk in the Treasury De-
partment at Washington. In 1851
he was elected representative in the
Legislature of Indiana, and chosen
speaker on account of his efficiency as
parliamentarian. In1S52 he was cleo
ted to the $50 Congress, as Democrat;
in 1854 was reelected; was again
elected in 1856 to the 35th Congress.
He was made a regent of the Smith
sonian Institute. He was elected to
the Both Congress, having served from
1853 to 1861. In personal appear
ance, he is tall, of commanding and
imposing figure, fully six feet high,
dark, curly hair, with full beard, cut
close. His appearance is always gen.
teel. His nomination is most for
tunate one, as it assures the State of
Indiana to the Democrats. While
Speaker of the Legislature of Indiana,
no appeal was ever taken from any Of
his decisions, showing a confidence in
his ability and integrity rarely accord
ed to the presiding officer of any de-
Lucrative body.

OUR CANDIDATES.

General Winfield Scott Hancock is
as well-known TO the people as any OF
the officers who served in the army
during the late war, and it is unneces-
sary to elaborate as to his career du-
ring that eventful period. He was
born in Montgomery county, Pennsyl-
vania, and was a cadet at West Point
and after graduation, as brevet "a lieu
tenant, commanded in the 9th Infant
ry. He was assigned to frontier duty
from 1915 to 1S47, and in the Next
can war was promoted to a full I'd

ing laws which are not inquired into
BY the civil magistrates, or should
failures in the administration of JUS
tice by the courts be complained of,
the cases will be reported to these
headquarters, when such orders will
be made as may be deemed necessary.
While the General thus indicates
his plrpose to respect the liberties of
the people, he wishes all to understand
that armed instruction or forcible re-
sistance to the law will be instantly
suppressed by arms.

HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.

HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.
1t sends thrill of joy through our
anatomy to place at our mast head
the names of Hancock and English,
the future President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. The tick
ct is the result of wisdom, calm DELHI
GRAFTON and God-like forethought. The
Democracy has chosen its David to
lead the hosts of Israel to victory in
November. We can already see the
Goliath of thes Republican party, be-
smirched with the Credit Mobelier
swiDdle and the DeGolyer steal, reel
ing beneath the wous1 inflicted by
the crushing stone of honesty and lib
erty. 1t was wonderful to see with
what unanimity the delegates of the
party worked at Cincinnati. No
man was so welded to his favorite
candidate that he was not willing to
yield to the choice Of the majority.
When the gallant Hancock developed
50 much strength OIL the first ballot it
seemed that his nomination was not
only inevitable but an outbrrst of en-
thusiasm on the part of the cOnven-
ton. The announcement of the tick
ct fell upon the ears of the democracy
like sweet music, and blasted the ever
waning hopes of dismayed republi.
cans. From Maine to Florida and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the
names of Hancock and English were
flashed along the wires producing
thunder storm of applause and salts
faction at the glorious work accom-
plished in the Queen city" In al
most every hamlet and city, North
and South, the welcome news was re-
,ceived with great joy, and ratification
meetings were held, at which the
smoke of rusty thrOated canon went
heavenward as a sweet incense, por.
tending that peace and harmony
should take the place of bitter parti'
san strife and sectional animosities.
The time has at last come when sec
.ond Washington shall save the coun-
try, unite the discordant elements, and
swear a new allegiance to constitu-
tional law and constitutional govern
ment. In the whole list of living
statesmen and patriots, no man could
be found who will more conscientious.
~ know no North, no South, no East,
$40 West than General Winfield Scott
Hancock. During the late war he
was the knightliest soldier that ever
drew a sword in defense Of the Union,
hut after the battle smoke had cleared
away, his noble chivalrous heart beat
an love for the conquered, and his
brightly FURNISHED blade, glittering
with victory, was sheathed forever
against his countrymen, and now he
proposes to fight his other battles at
the ballot box. "The Right of Trial
by Jury, the Habeas Corpus, the Lib
erty Of the Press, the Freedom of
Speech, the Natural rights Of Persons
and the Rights of Property should be
respected" These are the noble SEN
ments of the soldier Hancock, who
did not forget that the citizen is al
ways higher than the soldier, no mat
ter what his rank. With Hancock
and English to lead US, the Democ-
racy will achieve victory 80 brilliant
