WEAVER THE GREENHACKER.

We have omitted so far to notice
the side-show which is drumming
as loud as it can for stray patronage
from the two great menageries now
tramping the United States. one run
in the interest of Hancock and Eng
lish, the other in that of Garfield
and Arthur.
Know all men, therefore, that a
few weeks ago a meeting was held
somewhere-we really forget where
of gentlemen styling themselves
Independent greenbackers; that
these gentlemen, protesting to be
delegates from all the United States,
nominated one J. b. Weaver, of
Iowa, candidate for president, with
some other greenbacker for vice
president.
Now, we are going to give this
side-show a good advertisement
without charging anything for it,
and viii commence with explaining
who this Weaver is and what he

THIN-SKINNED.

We have a very thin-skinned
neighbOr in the Tobacco Leaf, who
considers himself personally ag-
grieved if anyone comments on his
ideas in any other spirit than that
of profound admiration. He has
recently had a quarrel with the
Nashville Banner because that pa
per did not receive with unqualified
approval his article on taxing rail-
roads. He now Jumps the Banner
and this paper together in his de-
nunciations simply because the
Chronicle reprinted the Banners
article without note or comment,
and besides several mosquito para
graphs let loose at the Banner by
itself, devotes four to the Banner
and CHRONICLE jointly. There is
no answer required to any of them,
except his one question, care the
Banner and CHRONICLE opposed to
taxing railroads on fair valuation"
We are certainly not authorized to
answer for the Banner, who, how
ever, has answered the question be-
fore il was put in the very article
which excited the wrath of the To-
bacco Leaf; but we answer briefly
for ourselves that we are in favor of
a just and equable tax on railroads
in all cases where there is no con-
tract to the contrary.
And now, having answered the
Leafs question, we will put one to
him. Does he hold himself respOns-
ible for all the opinions expressed in
extracts he may print from other
papers? He seems to think that
we do.

CARL ScHURz has opened the
Indiana campaign at indianapolis.
The well-known German orator did
not make as telling a speech as ne
did when he denounced the frauds
and populations and crimes of the
radical party, but he made the best
OF very bad position and a very
unlucky selection of candidates.
His strongest point was based upon
southern reputation and the dam
gers he anticipated from admitting
to the control of national affairs a
people who could not agree upon an
honest financial policy. Tennessee
ans who desire an end to radical
misrule will do well to ponder on
this topic and consider well before
they furnish grist to the radical mill
by alarming the north with repudi-
alton heresies. This is now our
only weak point, and it may be the
rock on which we shall wreck our
otherwise certain success. One thing
is certain, that if through our sin
and folly in this respect we enable
our adversaries to elect a republican
president and congress, there will
be no further room for state-credit
or low-tax parties, for repudiators
or readjusters or compromises. The
whole subject of state debts would
under those circumstances be taken
out of the treatment of state legisla-
lures, and the federal government,
in radical hands, would settle all
questions of national debts and their
liquidation according to their own
sweet will. Forewarned is fore
armed.

House Des troyed by Fire.

On Monday night, July IS, 1880,
at about IL O'Clock, the residence OF
Kelly Rogers, of District No. II,
caught fire from the cook stove, and
was totally destroyed. 1t appears
that some wood had been prepared
for the stove, and as the weather
was somewhat damp, the wood had
been placed under the stove, for the
purpose of drying it, and was left
there. 1t caught fire, which resulted
in the total destruction of the house
and nearly all the kitchen furniture.
Most of the household goods were
saved.
Mr.. Rogers and family have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

Both parties are looking anxious
ly for Gen. Hancock's letter of ac-
ceptance, especially the republicans.
They haveso far tried him all round
his military and political record, his
personal character, even his way of
dressing and eating, and found no
soft spot to get their teeth into, and
their last hopes are centered on that
letter; surely it will be found vul-
nerable somewhere.

Hancock and English Campaign


Our young men have taken up
the business of the campaign in
earnest by the organization of a club
which means to do good service.
A meeting was called for this
purpose on Thursday evening at
the courthouse, at which all the
live young men in town were as
sembled, as well as a considerable
sprinkling of older ones, and, which
was considered a good omen, large
number of our most intelligent col
ored men.
On the motion of Mr.. T. M. Riley,
Judge Smith took the chair. He
addressed the young men present
on the necessity of organization,
expressing the idea that all great
movements in the worlds history,
if they had been planned by men of
experience, had always been carried
out by the zeal and energy of
younger men; but he warned them
that strength would be wasted with
out organization. He appealed to
the colored men present to hold the
state solid in its own interest and no
longer to work it in the interest of
men who only cared for the state
while they hoped to get something
out of it.
He then announced that the meet
ing was ready for business.
Judge Lurton moved that a COM
mittee of five on permanent organi-
zation be appointed to report to an
adjourned meeting at an early date.
Carried unanimously.
The chair appointed Messrs. j. J.
West, Ed. G. Campbell, Patrick
O'Keefe, Rufus N. Rhodes, Thos.
McReynolds on the committee.
Messrs. Riley and Wright were
appointed temporary secretaries by
the chair.
Mr.. J. J. West moved the APP
pointment of a committee on con-
stitution and bylaws to report at
the adjourned meeting. Carried
unanimously.
Chair appointed Messrs. HI. III.
Lurton, a. II. Munford and j. G.
Joseph.
DIR. Wright moved that when this
meeting adjourned it would adjourn
to Monday night. Carried unani-
mously.
Spirited addresses were then made
by Messrs. E.l. Campbell, Arthur
Munford and Rufus Rhodes. Mr..
Campbell occupied his time chiefly
with eulogistic statement of the
record of Gen. Hancock and Mr..
English; Mr.. Munford with state
ment not so eulogistic of that of
Garfield and Arthur, and Mr..
Rhodes addressed capital speech
to the cOlored men present.
The intervals of business were
enlivened by the martial strains of
the Mozart Grassland, and just as
the speaking was over, a large COM
pany of musical young men, consti-
tuting the Hancock glee club, sang
some of their inspiring songs.
Before adjournment, DIR. Wright
moved that the cOlored men present
be cordially invited to attend the |
next meeting. The motion was
carried by reclamation, and after
the secretaries had enrolled large |
number of names as members Of the
club, the meeting adjourned till
Monday night.

DIR. TANNER AND THE STARVA.
TION EXPERIMENT..

Our readers are probably aware
that a physician in New York has
undertaken to demonstrate in his
own person the possibility of fasting
for forty days without the loss Of
life.
When first apprised of the exper.
iment, we contemplated it with
some interest from a scientific point
of view, though demurring to tho
morality of such a trifiing with hui
man life. Since the close, however,
OF last week we have lost scientific
.interest in the matter, not thinking
that the experiments are sufficiently
secured from error to leave them
any scientific value.
The facts are these: DIR. Tanner
belongs to medical sect known by
the epithet eclectic" 1t was al
first arranged that the experiments
should be conducted by mixed
committee Of physicians belonging
to this sect and regular physicians.
During the first two weeks and a
little beyond them the phenomena
observed were those known to phys
iolOgists as those characteristic OF
persons starving to death: great loss
of weight and strength, nervous de-
preston and irritability, with some
incoherence of mind. About the
termination of the sixteenth day
one of the regular physicians no
ticed some suspicious movements in
the persons who were moistening
his lips with asponge, and expressed
a decided opinion that beef tea, or
some nutritious substance, was sur
reptitiously introduced in that way.
This excited considerable irritation
in Tanner, and the next day that
physician retired from the expert
ment. We infer that others must
have done so too, as, since the end
of last week, none but eclectic ply
sicians have been in attendance.
Since this time an important diff
ference has been made in his treat
ment; he has been supplied with
considerable quantities of water,
whereas before only slight moist
ening of the mouth with a sponge
had been allowed. From that time
he increased considerably in weight,
in nervous tranquility and, as it
appeared, in strength, and those
conditions seem to be unimpaired
through the week.
AS soon as we learned of the in
crease in weight, we lost all faith in
the genuineness of the experiments.
1t is true that where the blood has
been largely depleted of its fluid
it will very rapidly
absorb water, and it might be in
ferred that the increased weight was
due to the water SO absorbed, but
for two considerations. One is that
the increase in weight was greater
than the amount of water represent
ed to have been supplied the other
is that the suddcc absorption of
water by the blood-vessels after
great depletion is known by exper-
iment to be fatal to life by causing
rupture of the blood corpuscles
through endosmose, and death by
Without undertaking, therefore,
to assign a motive for so senseless
an imposture, we have no doubt
that since the sixteenth day the
experiments have been sim
ply a fraud. If it be said that such
a suspicion is uncharitable, we have
only to say that science takes no
mans word and only believes what
he can openly demonstrate.
To-day Saturday is, we believe,
the 25th day since the commence
ment of the experiment.

tions of responsibility should, so far

True Americans may well despair

in the federal government, with the
reversiOn of the first, by the suffrage
of the American people.
But it is not by the suffrage of the
people that Chester Arthur expects
to attain that eminence. Four-firths
of his letter of acceptance is devoted
to vindication of the ubiquitous
Davenport laws, by which he hopes
to set aside enough votes to get in.

A WEEK or two ago story was
published that at the time of the
Electoral Commission Hancock had
written to General Sherman that, if
Tilden was declared President by
Congress, he would obey his orders
as commander in chief of the army.
Well, it would have been his plain
duty to do so. But Hancock's an
swer to all this was that Gen. Sher-
man was quite at liberty to produce
any letter he might have written on
the subject. Then came wild hunt
after Sherman, who, on being found
and questioned, replied that no such
a correspondence had taken place
within his knowledge. And then
the lie curled up and died
