OIL JUDGE, JUDGE,
Do Not Let Ambition Swerve Yon
From Truth.

Judge Williams told the peo-
pie at Mulberry in a speech a
few days ago, that there was nc
warrant Of law for loan foI
more than ten thousand dollars
a mile to the railroads Of the
State He excepted, however,
from his general statement the
Winchester e. Alabama and Nc
Minnville & Manchester and pos
siblv one or two other roads.
lie then read a list purporting
to give the number Of bonds
leaned TO the different railroads.
and said that with the exceptions
named, all over ten thousand g
mile were illegal. Now, Judge
tnrn to the acts of the Legisla-
ture, 1865 and 1866, page 10, and
see if the Governor was not.au-
thorized to issue to every rail
road which had received state
aid, additional bonds, TO the a.
mount of the past due interest
and past due bonds if any were
past due. The question with
YOU, Judge, is not whether il
ought to have been done, but you
. said there was no law for any
of the excess over ten thousand
Il mile. Judges who are pre-
sumed to know the law ought to
be careful not to mislcad the peo-
pie. Your great speech at Null
berry was founded on ignorance
of law, for surely you would not
have made the statements you
made if you had known of the
act on page 10 of the statutes
Of 1865 and 1866. You said the
Nashville g. Chattanooga road
had loaned to it five hundred
thousand more bonds than it
was entitled to receive at ten
thousand a mile. Did you know
how many it was entitled to re-
ceive under act referred to, and
did you know that no matter
how many it had received it had
returned them all?
lfyon are SO palpably wrong
in this, it is fair to presume you
are in error in your other legal
conclusions.

WHY PAY?
"Fhere S Millions in It.

ED. OBsERvER-The question
at this time is applied to the all
absorbing question of the State
debt. We wish to answer in
part, very briefly, why-whilst
the North is hurting reputation
in our faces, and threatening
dire destruction to us and ours
what follows non-payment.
The confidence in the faith of
the people is broken, property in
turn depreciates in value, demon
alization to business interests of
all kinds, credit no longer extern
ded beyond the merest shade;
here is this and here is that, fl
nancial prostration and uncer-
tainty, law suits and distracting
questions Of expediency-turn to
the Wright side of the question;
we pay and we are elevated to
the highest credit as a people,
we honor our obligations, we go
before the world again and say
we want additional capital, for
which we pledge the faith of the
people and it comes.
Every cotton growing county
wants a Clement Attachment to
gin and spin cotton, upon which
there is il profit of 80 per cent.
per annum assured to the parties
in interest; we want capital to
establish a warehouse system in
every county town, whereby the
poorest producer can be carried
until his cotton and grain is sold
on the spot at Liverpool prices,
only adding freight AID interest
for the dduGnce and "for the ab-
solute necessity of the man.
A. b. had 10 bales of cotton, he
put it i'll a warehouse and the re-
pository advanced 500, all he
wanted until such times as pri-
ces warranted his selling. The
money to do this is waiting to
come here with proper g'uaran-
tees, and in the course of ten
years the. money saved to Ten
nessee would pay principal and
interest of the debt, because it
can be applied to cotton, wheat
and every article grown or pro-
duced in Tennessee. We want,
and our great necessity has been,
capital at call of the people.
Capital is needed to manufac-
ture cotton seed oil, in which
there is good big money; not
only would it enhance value of
cotton seed, but add large gains
to the accumulation of capital
annually. Our cotton manufac-
turing in this State has been car
ried on under great financial diff
fculties for aca'at Of capital,
whilst New England has been
growing rich upon our necessi-
ties, while we are crying out
"unable to pay our taxes"

Washington Letter.

Special Correspondence of the OBSERVER
WASHINGTON, d. C., Oct. q, 1880.
It has been thought by some,
our excellent Presidential candi-
dates free use of the pen was
calculated to damage his pros
poets. No doubt, in a candidate
for this high oflice-the contest
being really one Of parties and
principles and not Of men-ret-
iccnce is a saving virtue. Be-
sides what is said or written I'M
der stress Of popular clamor, no
matter how clear the speakers
or writer's ideas may be, or how
earnest his convictions, seldom
meets the general expectation in
either clcarness or force. Gen.
Hancock, allowing that he must
write at all, has written well, but
his letters and orders previous
to his nomination are infinitely
better than anything he has pro-
duced since. The man, and not
the candidate, spoke then, and
no American ever spoke more
nearly to the point. The Re
publican candidate is a different
sort Of man-less sincere, less
frank, less fixed in opinion. On
the tariff and other subjects, he
is quoted to-day in different
parts of the country as holding
views Numerically opposed to
each other. For many years,
however, he has been consistent
in the belief and frequent in its
expression on one subject, viz:
that capital was the first thing
to be considered in the making
of laws. What capital asks for
must be granted. The idea is
one that dishonors the man or
party of which he is the present
representative. It is expressed
in the following letter just pub
.lished.
"DEAR STR-Yours in relation
to the Chinese problem came du-
ly to hand. l take it that the
question Of employees is only a
question of private and corpo-
rate economy, and individuals
or companies have the right to
buy labor where they can get it
the cheapest. We have trea-
ty with the Chinese government
which should be religiously kept
until its provisions are abroga-
ted by the action Of the general
government, and | am not pre-
pared to say that it should be alb
rogated until our great manu-
featuring interests are conserved
in the matter Of labor.
Very truly yours,
j. A. GARFIELD.

Laboringmen should read that
letter. They should commit it
to memory. They should I'M
derstand that the writer of it
not only asserts his own views
therein, but that he is the candi-
date Of the capitalists Of the
country who are, and ever viii
be, in the market to 'buy" labor.

,REPuRiaCAN TACTICS.

From the y. Y. Tf Ith Independently .AIz g. 1880
For many months past Republican
Journals throughout the country have
,tsemed with quotations from an obscure
paper published in Mississippi, called the
.llkaloae State. Its utterances reeked
with ,Eibaldry and treason. it advocat-
ed the most pernicious doctrines and
filled its columns with insults to the
Union and its people. Extracts from
this paper were. everywhere heralded by
the Republican press as an expression OF
the real feeling and sentiment existent
q. the South, and doubtless contributed
no little toward spreading such erron-
,seps belief among the Northern public.
During o long period the patient IN

were content to view its editor as a

they were laughed at. In time, how

learned better-lsarned how systemati-
.ally and ipfamously they had been mis-
represented and insulted-learned how
they were, coming to be regarded as a
desperate gang Of partisan cut-throats,
instead of body of peaceable farmers as
they are. They commenced to inquire
into the personality of the red-hot editor
who he was, and where he came from
and soon found out that he was North

A PerilOus Situation.

A German butches named Hans Wiger
becoming fatigued sat down by the road
side near Harrison, Ark, and fell asleep.
He was suddenly aroused by clutching
Of his legs. Looksng down, such sight
met his eyes as would have made the
stoutest heart bound with agitation.
Clasping both legs were two rattlesnakes
of the diamond species, coiled and look
ing him greedily in the face from both
sides. 1t wos a moment to try the nerve
of the bravest hero known to history, and
Mr.. Wiger trembled from head to foot,
but knowing that his salvation was in
action rather than action, he dropped
back and lay as one dead. How long
he remained in this predicament is hard
to tell, but sometime after dark both
snakes slowly uncoiled themselves, and
after crawling under his neck and round
his head several times, moved quietly
away, Wigel made tracks for the near
est house and fell fainting. After some
little trouble he was revived, but it was
found that during his lying still blood
had oozed from his eyes and mouth, and
his hair, which he said, before was raven
black, had almost an iron-gray cast,

An American Beauty.

Mrs. Minnie Thornburg Chopper, one
of the fashionable beauties ofthe London
season, is the daughter of the late
William Thornburg, of Marysville, Cal.
She was educated in Europe and married
an Englishman of titled family, OF her
appearance the San Francisco Mroaical
says that she is six feet and three inches
in height, rather slender, but well-pro-
portioned and of true blonde type.
She possess a mass of fair hair, which
falls in the slightest possible waves,
lovely soft blue eyes, and features as
perfect as though chiselled out of the fin
est marble by master hand. Her
beautifully nodded hands and arms are
distinguished for their delicacy. She
walks. dances and rides with equal
grace. One most noticeable feature in
this lady is her exquisite taste, combined
with simplicity, in dress. With thou
sands at her command she does not
possess the vulgar love of undressing
others. Her beauty is hereditary, as her
mother was considered the handsomest
woman in Ohio, and even now is attract
ing almost as much notice on account OF
her appearance as is her handsome

Ancient Ainusements,

Seven hundred years ago some of the
sports with which the boys of London
and other parts of England amused
themselves seem to have been very SINH
lar in many respects to those of our own
time. The young people of those days
were very strong and hardy, and they
took part, OF course, in many pastimes,
such as hawking falconry, and hunting
wild animals, which have long been out
OF date in that country, though it is in
teresting to observe to what O great
extent the same manly tastes displayed
by their ancestors are shown by the boys
at the present time. A favorite game in
those days was football, and prominent
among those by whom it was played in
London were the pupils of such schools
as then existed, and those who were con-
nected with the various city guilds.
When the ponds and other places were
frozen over, skating, sliding and sledg-
ing formed their sports; while in sum.
mef the boys used to exercise themselves
in westling, archery, and many other
similar amusements. Boys used to take
part in the chase of wild animals, and
one of the great hunting grounds of
London was near where Hampstead heath
is now situated, which was then covered
with forest and thicket. In order to be
able to skate, the boys of those days
would often take the leg-bones OF ami
mails, and placing them under their feet,
tie them around their ankles, and push
themselves forward on the ice with great
speed by means of long poles.

Butter Making.

First, we must have clean milk with
out this, good butter cannot be made.
Butter made from filthy milk may pass
when fresh from the churn, but as the
seeds of destruction are sown in the pro-
cess of milking, the butter soon loses its
fresh taste, and is classed as poor
article. In order to obtain the best re-
suits, the milk should be cooled within
one hour after milking down to IS de-
grees, and in another hour it should be
brought down to 60 degrees, and there
kept during the cream raising. If the
milk is held at this temperature while
the cream is rising, then the cream,
when taken off, is just where we want it
in temperature, and at thispoint it should
be kept until it has taken acid enough
to be churned. Avoid all transitions
from hot to cold, and from cold to hot.
When churned at the temperature above
mentioned, the butter is firm enough to
be worked without bringing ice in con-
tact. The practice of cooling cream by
the introduction of ice is, in our opinion,
q bad one; also the practice of warming
cream by setting the vessel containing
the cream in hot water. In the latter
case, the cream upon the outside of the
vessel becomes melted, and thereby re-
duced to oil, causing flat. insipid taste
to the butter. The habit of some of set
ting their cream around the stove should
be condemned; the heat is not easily
equalized unless the cream is constantly
stirred, and, to add to this, it is continu-
ally taking up foul odors. The water
used to wash butter must not be taken
from we'll that is in any way tainted or

Remarkable Glass.

The popularity of Venetian glass is Its
remarkable lightness, the elegance of its
form, and the purity of the colored por-
tions, especially where flowers are imi-
tated in Opaque glass. A good example
is the wine glass, with the stem formed
in spikes and flowers, with scrolls. The
bowl Of these glasses was made always
as delicate as possible, and there was a
superstitious notion that if poison, which
in those days of Venice was not uncom-
mon, were in the wine, the glass would
detect it by instantly bursting, These
glasses were much larger than ours,
being generally from. eight inches to a
foot or more in hight.

A Flying Plague.

A storm of flies was encountered on
the Hudson river, near Poughkeepsie,
n. Y, similar to the one recorded in the
London Telegraph as having been seen
at Havre a week OF two ago. The
steamer Martin, bound south, encoun.
tered the fly storm between New Ham,
burgh and Newburgh. 1t was like the
Havre storm, as described by the Lon.
don Telegraph, seemingly great drift
of black snow, and it reached southwark
from shore to shore as far as the eve
could reach. There were millions upon
millions Of the flies, and they hurried
northward as thick as snow flakes driven
bya strong wind. They lodged upon
the clothing of the passengers on the
steamer, and were infinitely examined,
They were long and black and had light
wings, and the cloud must have been
miles in length. The steamer Mary
Powell ran into the fly storm off Haver-
straw, and first mate Bishop says that
in all his steamboating experience he
never saw such sight.
