The Boilers Candidate.

From the Lebanon Herald.
As to Mr.. Wilson's political course
we prefer 20 let one of his own political
household speak, and We invite careful
attention to the following, which ap-
peared as n communication in the Her
aid Of May 9th. We violate no conf
dcnce in saying that it was prepared for
and contributed to the Herald by Col.
Robert Emmett Thompson, Of Lebanon,
the recognized leader Of the low-tax
party in Wilson county:
TO the Editor Of the Heruld;- Il see
that the iIartsville Sentinel recon-
nends the Hon. $. +. Wilson to both
sides for governor, If we are not mis-
taken in Mr.. Wilson's record, it will
suit either side, for his record, like the
old mans SOW, is on both sides Of the
ditch. In 1873 the Hon. Lee Head Of

promise the state debt at - cents On

Gle for the Gallatn Tennesseean, in
which he denounced Mr.. Heads bill as
an outrageous attempt to detame the
state BY regulating its honest debt. Ir
1877 he supported the Phelan bill, which
proposed to settle the debt ut 80 and I
So strong was he for this bill that HI

those who voted against it, and when h
went home he told the members Of til

A Romance Which Ended at
the Altar.


From the Chattanooga Times.
A few days ago young lady boarded
the train at Nashville bound for this
city. She VAS attractive in person, and
well dressed. When the conductor APP
preached her for her ticket, her face as-
sumcd mournful expression, her eyes
became sufusod with tears, and mid her
sobs she succeeded in showing the con.
ductor, by signs, that she was mute,
poor, destitute, orphan girl, seeking
friends i'll East Tennessee. Her sad
tale awoke chord Of sympathy in the
tender breast of the conductor, and she
was allowed to remain on the train.
Soon after her arrival here, Marshal
Lowry learned that Il destitute and
dumb girl was in the city and desired
transportation to Philadelphia, Tenn.
where she claimed she had friends. The
kind Marshal sought out the Young la
dy, and by signs, notes and otherwise,
she soon convinced the Marshal Of the
truth of her story. He was likewise
moved and sought the conductor OF the
f.. I. train and repeated to him the
young girls mournful tale, which touch
ed him 50 that he agreed to take the girl
to her destination.
She kept u reserved and submissive
attitude during the trip, appearing ut
terly oblivious of all sounds, and look
Ing as deaf liz Il post, and dumb as an
oyster.
When the train reached Philadelphia
the young lady arose, smile overspread
her features, and advancing to the con-
luctor she spoke to him a few words of
hanks tor his kindness, wishing him a
arewelI, lcaped lightly from the cars,
where she was quickly joined by young
nan, who had to all appearances been
her.
The young man took the arm of the
mute" (who could hear and talk and
ogether they procured a marriage H.
ense, and in Il few moments were mar
led.
The young lady is the daughter of
parents at Springfield, III.

Republican journals still keep up
their howl about census frauds in the
South. They know Of no particular
case Of fraud, but they think that all
the Southern census takers are dishon-
est, because the returns from the South
ure much larger than they expected. In
order to silence this cry of fraud, would
it not be well for Gen. Walker, the SUI
perintcndent Of the census, to order IL
recount in some of the districts where it
is alleged fraud vas committed? There
is no easier way to settle the census
fraud question. A distinguished South
ern gentleman, writing to friend in
Washington, admits that the returns
show surprising increase in some Of
the districts in the South, but says that
this increase is, in Il great measure, on
ly apparent, and not real He says
that in 1870 the census throughout the
South was very impcricctly taken, and
that there were thousands Of people in
every one Of the Southern States who
did not sec or hear Of the census takers.
On the other hand, the census Of this
year was taken with Il great deal Of
care, and comparatively few people
were missed. This is one of the reas-
ons, he says, why the South shows such
large gains in population. Another
reason which he gives is, that the natu-
raj increase Of population is much great !
or in the South than in the North 1t !
is to be hoped that Gen. Walker will
spare no pains to silence the Republican
organs, by proving to them that their
large Of fraud has no foundation.

American writes from East Tennessee
after having Travelled over the Nashvil,
II Chattanooga road. He notices the
great improvement on the road in the

the following to say OF the

he travelled:
Near Dechcrd, the station where

fully swelling hills rise in the distance

valleys, bring oui the varying aud CON

The Gallatin Examiner says: The
great buIk-ncarly all-of the tax to
sustain the public credit will come out
of those who have property to tax. Al
most universally the property holders
are in favor Of being taxed for this pur-
pose. The little the poor man pays
goes to the school fund to educate his
own children, and he gets back five
times as much as he pays toward it.
Said one Of our citizens to us : "The
poor man who has no property ought to
be the very man to vote for paying the
public debt before he gets some to be
taxed"

Next to Bulwer we admire Charles
Dickens, as n novelist, more than any
we ever read And We would not make
Dickens secondary if it were not for II
little prejudice aroused in our bosom be
cause of some heavy hits he made at the
United States Onc don't like to hear
his country talked against you know
not if he loves hia country. And We
love our country, Tennessee especially
Franklin county in particular, and our
self better than all. But when We hear
some Of these fellows talking about not
paying any Of the States Indebtedness,
except very small portion, we must
confess that Dickens did not 90 far
nstray in some Of his criticisms. Per
haps you have read Martin Chuzlewit.
Dickens tells us about Martins expc-
ricnco in America. lie found our
country full Of oiliccrs--Genrrals, Col
"ucIs, Majors and Captains. Martin
naturally wondered if there were any
prvatcs. And Martin found every one
u politician. He found fellows who
owed private debts they never intended
to pay, and who paid no taxes at all, to
be the very ones loudest in vehement up
poals to the dear people to not pay obi
cations Of II public nature. They want
ed to "run moist pen slick through
everything and start fresh" The great
novelist says: Martin knew nothing
about America, or he would have known
perfectly well that if its individual cit.
1cns, to Il man, are to be believed, it nj
ways is depressed, and always Is stag
mated, and always is at an alarming
crisis, and never was otherwise though
as body they are ready to make oath
upon the Eyangclists at any hour of the
day or night, that it is the most thriving
and prosperous of all countries on the
habitablc globe"
And this is Just the song of fellows
who want Office; end the song of tel- ,
lows who spend enough time and money ,
in cursing bondholders; in chewing and I
tobacco; in dhnking whisky;
md in spouting forth with intolcrablc :.
