In view of the fact that Mr.. Tilden
lost the Presidency because the will
of the people was defed by Return
ing Boards 10 Florida and Louisiana,
the New York Sun thinks it is not
likely that he would advise the De-
mocratic party in Maine to initiate
the practices of carpet-bag rogues.
Mr.. Tilden was asked if he knew
anything about the Maine business
and he replied:
al was never consulted, directly or
indirectly, about the course the can
wasting officers of Maine should or
should not pursue. never directly or
indirectly gave any advice to them. l
have been fully occupied for two months
with private business, and have not
even read what has been said about the
Maine affair. know nothing about the
merits of the controversy, and have no
opinion to express. l believe that the
popular win ought always to be respect

OUR SOUTHERN CONVECTION.

A special dispatch to the Atlanta Con.
stSt1ltS0n, from Raleigh, N. c., dated
Jan. 10, has this hopeful indication of a
bright future for our section of country
in the near future: G. NJ, McGhee, Vice
President, and Commissioner of the
Board of Directors of the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, has been in conference for several
days, with the Governor and President
Wilson, of the Western North Carolina
Railroad and its Board of Directors 1t
is believed that this conference will re-
suit in securing an early connection
over the Western North Carolina Road
with the Cincinnati and Louisville, as
it has leaked out that arrangements have
been made between the Louisville and
Nashville and Knoxville and Ohio
Roads for immediate connection at the
State line north OF Knoxville.

THE STAR IN THE EAST.

The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger writes 1.-THE
most important political event, for
the :nement, is the certainty now
that there is to be no division among
the New York democracy on the
presidential question in other words
that John Kelly and the Tammany
Hall faction have Informally commit
ted themselves 10 the support of
whoever may be nominated by the
national convention. Assurances to
that effect have, within the few days
past, been given TO prominent demo
cratic leaders from other States,
who have come here expressly with
a view of bringing about pacifica-
ton between Tammany and the TIL
den faction. l have reason to be-
lieve that double.leaded announce
ment to this effect will appear in the
course of day or two in Mr.. KEEL
ly's newspaper organs. The signif-
canoe OF this proceeding consists in
the fact that heretofore Kelly and
his followers have emphatically de-
clared that under no conceivable cir
cumstances would they support the
denomination of Gov. Tilden. It is
difficult just now to ascertain what
influences have been exerted to bring
about this change of mind, but the
effect of it must be to immensely
strengthen Tilden's position in the
national convention. The strong
point OF the Bayard men and other
democratic aspirants as against Til
den has been that he could not unite
the party in his own State, bnt with
this practical suppression or capture
Of Tammany Hall that strong point
is not worth anything to
them"

And this is but the beginning of the

importations, not only Of iron, but Of
other articles during the year upon
which we have Just entered than we
have received since the panic, and
by the end of the year we may expect

from a misunderstanding in the purch-

what we hear considerable dissatisfac-

action of the Court, which may proba-
bly, lead to law suit against the county.

John W. Childress, Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee, was
in the city yesterday. In response to
question put by an american re-
porter as to when his committee would
meet, he said, they would not be called
together until after the National Demo-
cratic Executive Committee should call
the convention for the nomination of a
candidate for the Presidency The
committee would then meet and call a
convention to appoint delegates to the
National Convention, and nothing more.

About davlipht on the Gin six nm

About daylight, on the 9th, six I'M
known men came to his mothers house,
in White county, and shot and killed
John Bradley in bed, after which they
rode up the Calf Killer river. Bradley,
it is said, was Q desperate guerrilla dur
ing the late war, having killed a num-
Der of persons. At the close of the war
he went to Arkansas to live. It was
his intention to start back to Arkansas
on the day he was killed. As yet,
suspicion has settled on no one. 1t is
thought by some that the six men were
from East Tennessee.

TTolsdo, o., Telegram in Chicago Times.I
A significant editorial appears in the
Toledo Democrat to-day from the pen
of Gen. j. B. Steedman, in regard
to Tilden. Gen. Steedman says that in
an interview held with Tilden ia New
York few days ago, the latter, when
asked if he was candidate for renom-
inatiOn, replied: II am In the hands of
the Democratic party, and will cheerful
ly acquiesce in its decision" Gen.
Steedman goes on to say that TIlden's
statement of his case had changed his
opinion of him, and placed him in a
far better position than that assigned
him by large number of Democrats,
Gen. Steedman also intimates that, al
though as a delegate in the St. Louis
convention he opposed Tilden, and CEN
sured him for timidity afterward, he
shall support him as the Democratic
candidate for 1880. 1t is understood
that Frank Hurd, who is now here, has
also declared for Tilden. Armstrong,
of Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Judge
Finnefrock, of Fremont, have been here |
to consult Hurd in the interest of jew
EFT, but received no encouragement.
