Why Prices Have Tumbled.

New York Tribune.
The past week has witnessed sharp
break in the prices Of iron and cotton,
and further decline in wheat, pork,
lard and other products. Except in
the speculative markets, this decline
has been such as to do much more
good than harm, and the losses of spec
ulators for a rise are more than
balanced by the increased activity in
legitimate business. The reduction in
prices of iron will doubtless prove ben
eficial, for sensible manufacturers and
dealers have seen for more than a
month that control Of the home mar
ket could not be retained without ma
terial concessions, and the effect of
the unnatural advance of prices since
Jan. has been to give great encour-
agement. and fat profits to foreign
makers.
The rapid decline in the price of cot
ton, which has now continued with lit
tie interruption for about a month, has
distressed some SPECTATORS, but it is en-
cour- 81 lg to the manufacturer. 1t was
reported that some leading holders
were forced to realize during last week,
and the stock on hand-at this port
PSI All bales, against 1872, 574 at the
same date last year, and at all the
ports, exterior and interior, 961, 814
bale, against $500 last year-has
become hard to carry in the face of a
close money mark + This accumula-
ton of stock is in part due to thefact eX-
ports have been checked by the high
prices for, while receipts from the
plantations have been 437, 872 bales
larger than they were last year to date
the exports since Sept. l have been
a, 166 bales smaller. The American
spinners have taken much larger
amount than they did last year, bu
have supplied their wants more largely
by the overland movement, which i
said to have been larger by 113, 40:
bales than it was last year to date
The price Feb. Is was about 13 Il
cents, and March y about Is %, cent
per pound, but on Saturday it wa
- %, and it is the prevailing impress
sion that still lower prices are to be ex
pected before the extraordinary GRO
of 1879 finds a market.
The price of wheat has decline,
but little during the past week, havin
fallen in all about 20 cents per bushe
since Jan. 1, when No. 2 red winte
wheat sold at 81 500 here.

Fayetteville Express: The press of
the State seems tavorably inclined to
the denomination Of Governor Marks.
Brownsville States.
Shelbyville Commercial: Not if the
court knows itself, and it thinks it
does.
Huntsville Sentinel: tits generally
understood that the friends of Gov.
Marks will make strong effort to Sc
cure his denomination. Neither low
tax nor high tax men have any special
preference for him now.
The Upton Record and several other
papers favor the denomination of Gov.
Marks.
The low tax Democratic county con-
ventions have put forward the name of
r. Z. TempletOn, of Lebanon, as the
low-taX candidate.
Colonel r. X Byrd, ofKingston, has
announced his name as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination. He is a
State credit man.
Gen. w. A. Campbell, of Jackson,
is also spoken of as a Democratic can
didate. He was a supporter of the
| So.
The Republicans have mentioned
several names who may be probably
nominated, among them William II.
Wisener, of Shelbyville; Dr. w. P.
Jones, of Nashville; Horace Maynard,
Of Knoxville; james A. Warden, OF

4 Virginia Paper Tells Why 1t is FIR
Bayard.

Newhern Virginia People.
We do not see the force of the OBJ
lection urged by some papers against
the nomination of Senator Bayard.
They say he will be looked upon by the
people of the North rs a Southern
man. Well, he will also be looked
upon by the people of the North as II
man who stands upon principle, and
they have have more respect for such
a man than they have for a deserter.
Not that Seymour, Tilden, Thurman,
Fields, Hendricks, and Jewctt are de-
serters, but the Northern people say as
they did when Greeley was nominated,
if the solid South supports a man, he
has sold himself to the enemies Of his
country for office, and they at once
distrust him.
Bayard has stood firmly for pure
Democratic principle first, last and all
the time. He comes nearer repre-
senting the Democracy of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut than any
man In either of those States. Why
in New York the Democrats are so di-
vided that it is doubtful if any man in
it can carry the State. Even the loved
Seymour would have no opposition,
the State politics being SO high that a
man must necessarily belong 10 one or
other wing Of the party.
We could cheerfuliy support Field,
but we think it a bad precedent ta
take a man from the highest judicial
! bench In the country and elevate(21
him to political Office because of dis
senting opinion.
Bayard is a pure, true and able
statesman, and any Democrat who
would vote against him, only wants an
excuse to vote against the party, and
he can easily do 50 with any other
Democrat. We say Bayard, Princi-
pie and Victory. If we cannot elect
Bayard, we can elect nobody.

POLITICAL.

The Argus of the 18th contained the
following: ''Out of a total member.
ship of 384 delegates to the Democrat
ic convention to be held in Syracuse
next Tuesday, we are now advised OF
the election of 260. Of this number,
200 are for Tilden, 40 anti-Tilden and
20 doubtful, or preferences unknown.
Columbia Journal: eve agree
with our cotemporary of the Herald,
that no more fit or able selection can
be made as an eleetor for the State at
large on the Democratic ticket, than
Hon. John V Wright. We know OF
no one in theState who combines more
of the qualities of an advocate, either
at the bar or on the stump, than thi:
distinguished gentleman"
Give us Bayard, Seymour, Hen
bricks, any other good, strong and
true man, and he viii be supported by
the solid south with energy and zeal
Let our Northern friends understand
that we are ready to support any gOoC
and true man, but that we do not wan
this man Tilden, and will not supper
him. Crq,gordUiUe, (Ga.) Democra

Ex-Representative Eugene Hale
who has been spending the winter il
Florida, is represented as expressing
the belief as to the situation in tn,
South that the Republicans will poll :
/ full vote in some Southern States a
least, but that Democratic Returnin.
Boards will count them out, and tina
/ the Electoral vote of the South Will b,
cast solid for whomsOever the Demo
Gratis nominate; that the Republican
nominee for President can be eleetet
without the aid of Southern Republi
cans, if he is a man upon whom tn,
Northern Republicans can thoroughly
unite that Grant IS not the strOnges
! man that could be elected; his nomi
nation would require too much tim
and persuasion 10 harmonic the con
I fiicting elements within the party, ant
would make success IN New Yorl

THAT ~cAPITAL,, SCHEME.

The Militia bill before congress
provides for what is to be known
as the National Guard. This
measure is the work of the CAPT
talists and monopolists. They are
uneasy about their bonded wealth
and thievingly protected later
ests. They fear strikes and repeti-
ton of the Pittsburg labor riots.
They demand a strong govern
ment to overawe any projected
labor-revolution. They fear the
million of tramps which avaricious
capital has forced into abject vag-
Alcoholism. They want to have in
readiness the rifle and the Gatling
gun to cut down these miscreants
in case of revolt. Moreover, this
bill is direct assault on local gov
eminent by the States. Scan the
provisions of the bill.
When called into service by the
President, the National Guard
may be organized by him into
brigades and divisions, and the
commanding officers and their
stats be designated by him.
In times of peace arms and
equipments will be furnished by
the general government, provided
that the active militia for which
any State or Territory shall be en-
titled to be so furnished shall moi
exceed 700 officers and men fol
each representative or delegate
from such State or Territory tc
Congress.
Section 10 provides that the
President may order the whole Oh
any part of the active militia OF
any State or Territory into the
service Of the United States for {
period not exceeding twelve
months during war or invasion o.
apprehended invasion by foreigl
enemy or Indian ribe, or an insur
rection or rebellion against the
constitution and laws of the Unit
ed States, orupOn the imminen
danger of either, or on any occasion 4
lcllich the execution Of the Lalos may be OF
stI-ucted By combinations and forces to
strong to be overcome by the cioa author
; ties in the ordinary course Of la'O, and t.
issue his orders for that purpos
to such officers of the active mil
tia as he may think proper; an
: the said force when ordered int
the service of the United State.
1 shall be subject to the rules an
: articles of war and to the reguls
! lions of the army.
We have here a plan of placin
i'll the hands of the President
power that was never before Pc
sessed by any occupant Of tn
White House. Let this bill b,
come a law, and how long, thin
you, would it take such a Pres
u dent as Grant in making up h
" mind to call out the Nation;
Il Guard to suppress any demo-
y strahon Of citizens against IL
, tyranny of any combination

The Republicans ofShelby coun-

strongly favoring the honest set
Element of the State debt and
advocating the nomination of a
straightout Republican for Govern

Sherman for the success ofresump,
ton was embodied in the resolu-

The Maury County Republicans.

Columbia Nail ''The Republicans
of bIaury County held their convention
in the courthouse in Columbia, Satur-
day, April 10th, for the purpose of
sending delegates to the State Conven-
ton, which meets in Nashville May 5.
There was an unusually large represen-
tatipn.'' The following, among other
resolutions, was passed.
Re8olued, That the delegation from
this county be, and they are hereby,
instructed to vote as unit upon all
questions that shall come before the
State convention, and to vote for the
selection of delegates to Chicago who
favor the nomination of u. S. Grant
ResolUed, That believing that the
best interests of Tennessee demand
that an active and aggressive canvass
should be made against the well defin
ed and settled Democratic policy o
reputation, and that such a canvas
can only be made by the nomination OF
candidate for governor of acknowl
edged ability, aud whose reputation
for honesty and integrity is above crit
icism, we present to the Republican
of Tennessee such a man in the person
Of Judge A. M. Hughes, who, boil
from his private character and public
record, is most eminently fitted to Leaf
the Republican party to victory upor
a platform which shall declare for tn
honest settlement of the obligations 0
the State; and we hereby instruct on
delegates to cast the solid vote of tn
county for him, and to use all honora
BILE means to secure his nomination.

Congress has been very liberal
with those railroads which have
not complied with the conditions
on which theyreceived their land
grants. The amount of land now
subject to forfeiture is 36,000,000
of acres, worth, perhaps, 100000
600. The recognized Northern
Pacific Company has managed the
affairs of the corporation so as to
put millions in the pockets of its
favorites, while the original hol-
ders of the bonds and stocks of the
company are left to do what they
can with their almost valueless
securities. The company is now
asking for a further extension OF
time. 1t is doubtful it it will be
ranted.

The Somerville Falcon of April
18th, says: The district will be
allowed two delegates and looking
for the second name we can find
no one better qualified for the po-
sition than Albert T. McNeal, of
Bolivar, whose name has already
been suggested. Mr.. McNeal is
a lawyer of decided ability and is
universally recognized as a man
of force and integrity af character.
We endorse all that other jour.

tender his name together with
Col. Keating's to the Nashville
Convention, hoping that both viii
be favorably considered by that
body.

Ex-Governor Pierpont of West
Virginia says: "Grant's nominal
ton would fall upon us like a wet
blanket. It would be a shower Of
disaster and defeat here. He pos
sesses neither craftsmanship
nor executive ability, but can on
" be noted for his stolidity and
silence" Impartial history will
show that he was surrounded by a
horde of bad, bad men-his own
choice and selection-and his adj
ministrations were great and
lasting reproach on our Govern
ment. | think that the Republi-
can party of this Nation, when
his last term expired, drew a long
breath of relief, and said, Thank
God. it is over His first tern
was a failure. His second was
worse.

HIS HEALTH.

1t is amusing to see the enter
prise of certain interviewers who
weekly send out from New York
press dispatches depicting the
physical decay Of Tilden and that
he has surrendered all desire of a
democratic nomination for the
Presidency. These reports are
all lies manufactured in hostility
to this great man and are a re-
proach to any party. In the face
of these statements, it is a fact
that a large majority of the dele
gates recently elected to the New
York State Democratic Conven-
ton are for Mr.. Tilden. We re-
greet to see the Memphis Appea
and other influential party organs
constantly attacking Mr.. Tilden
by belittling his strength and
otherwise mi. stating his standing
before the country. This course
is impolitic. 1t is unbecoming tC
award such treatment to so emf
nent statesman.
