northern states. While they have
made these charges, the democratic
party has never dared to take a
presidential candidate from the
south, where the bulk of the demo-
cratic party is found. This has not
been because southern democrats
are not as able and as patriotic as
those of the north. 1t would be a
base SANDER upon southern demo-
Gratis to say SO. For our part, in
all candor, we believe the interests Of
the whole country would be just as
safe in the hands of the democrats
Of the south as those of the north,
if not safer. We believe this is the
Judgment of nine out of every ten
persons in this section. We believe
the republicans of the north have as
much confidence in the eX-rebels OF
the south, who are democrats, as
they have in the ex-copperheads Of
the north, of the Voorhees-Pendle'
ton stripe.
Why, then, is it that the demo-
cratic party does not trust as its
standard bearer in a national con
test any man who participated il
the rebellion? Is it in the nature
Of punishment of the ex-rebeli
for having gone astray, as Mr.
Bayard died in 1861? Now, if thu
democrats, after they know tina
Bayard was a secessionist, still ad
here to him, they will show, to some
extent, that they are not going t
punish ex-rebels because they
we're rebels. And, if they wan
to show their entire sincerity
let them make up a ticket witt
Bayard at the head and some fight
ing rebel ike Gen. Wade Hamp
ton second, Until they nantes
a willingness to do something Xix
this, we submit that they are in n
position to charge republicans wit
being enemies of the south, becaus
they do not make leaders of mel
who participated in tho rebellion.

THE NUMBER OF TENNESSEE
REPUBLICANS.

The Morristown Gazette, in its
last issue, gave some figures in res
gard to the state debt question and
the next campaign, in which the re-
publican vote was put down as 49,
600. These figures are being copied
in some of the local papers, and we
desire to correct them. In 1876
Hayes received 89,566 votes or
40.22 per cent. of the total number
of votes cast, and in 1872 Grant re-
ceived $685. votes. or 1856 per
cent. Of all. There is no reason for
saying that the number of republi-
cans in the state has become less,
but on the contrary there are reasons
for saying that it has increased. On
full vote there are at least 10000
republicans in Tennessee, or $4,000
more than the Gazette acknowls
edges.

SHOW YOUR SINCERITY BY
YOUR ACTS.

The evidence is too plain to admit
Of denial that Senator Bayard made
a secession speech in 1861. He
will not deny it we presume, and
probably would not if he could.
We do not mention this fact for the
purpose of abusing him for it, With
full knowledge Of the fact that he
was a seces8ionist, we would prefer
to see him president Of the United
States before any democrat in the
union. We believe him to be a safe
man, and if a man could make
an efficient president without
party, he would make
a sale president. Our grounds
of opposition to him would be that
he could not control his party, but
that his party would control him,
We believe that the public interest
would suffer beyond estimation, i
the government in all its branches
should be controlled by the demo-
cratic " party for four years.

The policy of the democratic
party in Tennessee appears to be
favorable to two state conventions
this year, the first to name dele
gates to the national convention at
Cincinnati, and later one to nomi1
nate 2 candidate for governor.
Speaking Of what is to be done at
these conventions, the Nashville
Banner says:
Zone OF the most important things
to be considered will be- the adoption
of platform of principles, the first
thing that comes up in the national
democratic convention. In that plat
form we hope that every thing that can
be construed into an allusion in the
most remote degree TO state policy, will
be eschewed. Leave that to a subse-
quent meeting, and let US fight out The
national battle free and unem barrassed
by any entaDgliug difference about
the state debt. If the split In The
party is accepted now, 1t will react
disastrously in that contest,
in which we should engage with
our best energies. After that
conflict is over with 1t will DO soon
enough to consider any settled and
distinctive policy on the latter subject.
There are some, beyond question, who,
Influenced by mercenary and smbi-
tious motives, will endeavor to separ-
ate the elements of the party at once.
This ia for their own selfish ends, as
without such q division they may
never hope to do other wise than to re.
main where they, Of right, belong--iu
the ranks. But, surely, there are
enough conservative men ia the party
to unite and frown down any such an
attempt In making these suggestions,
we are actuated solely by sincere love
and attachment to the democratic par
ty, and firm. belief in its power to
rescue and restore the country to pros
perisy. No more, no less.r

The leaders Of the democratic
party in Tennessee have heretofore
proved to be very artful dodgers.
They have lodged the state debt
question to their own satisfaction
and to the satisfaction of such Of
their supporters as are willing to
shut their eyes and 60 it blind.
The indications are that some Of
them intend to do the same thing
tins year. They will plead the i'm
portance of the national contest,
and favor keeping state issues in the
background. If the people of
the state, after the experience Of
the past ten years, permit such o

Country folks are in general so occupied
with their own affairs that they have no time
to discover how lonesome they really are So
far as tins is concerned we think 1t is a mis-.
fortune. We are too busy. We work too
hard. We take few or no holidays. We read
and think too little and do not spend suffi
cicnt time in social culture. There is no rea
son why those who pillow the soil, or 'whOse
talk is of bullock" should not experience the
refncments which are the result of formal so
cial life. In business, at bargains, in pursul,
of dollars no man is seen at his best, He is
thorny, spiney, with his back up as a porcu
pine might be at his business. Let one doti
his working clothes and enter room full OF
ghbors-men, women, young men and
maidens-and he is man of another kind
He naturally falls into the ways Of an intul
tive kindness which is really the truest polite
ness the dong TO his companion what ne
should do to him He lets himself OUT to
please, and after an evening spent in social
converse, he retires with many rough corners
and asperities toned down. For few days
the influence remains. 1t would be perma.
nent if it could be reinforced now and then,
and the good results would be most agreeable
and useful. There is no difficulty in bring.
ing these good influences to bear. Two or
three persons with energy and some magnet.

Tree Culture Oh Waste Land

Hitherto the abundance of natural timber
IN this country has made it easy to dispense
with timber culture and for the most part our
land owners have taken little interest in such
slow growing crops. This state of things
however, is rapidly passing away. The de-
mand for special woods for manufacturing
purposes Is steadily and rapidly increasing
while the natural supply Is diminishing and
must ultimately become inadequate. Mean
time there are millions of acres of land suit
able fer timber culture and for nothing else
except poor pasturage that our land owners
are allowing to lie waste and idle for lack Of
a little ioreihought, and too frequently oul

tells of piece of land that was planted with
walnut twentythree years ago. The land
was flooded every spring and summer and
was unfit for any ordinary cultivation, The

particulars are gwen as to the cost of planting

be little doubt, however, that the investment
