Nashville's centenary has revived
for the admiration of public spirited
Tcnnessceans the names Of their pio-
who, heading a party
of Virginians, founded tho Watauga
settlement in East Tennessee; Boone,
tho mighty hunter, who guided this
party; De Monbrean, the Frenchman
on rural life intent, who had long be-
fore preceded them; Donelson, who
commanded the boat expedition that
landed ut a point which was called
Nashboro, and is now Nashville. The
town was named after Gen. Nash, a
North Carolina hero, who had been
killed in q battle at Germantown. A
quarter of a century after it had only
increased its original eight score to q
population of about four hundred. But
it then took start, and under Old
Hickory was famous. Now the city is
celebrating with enthusiasm these old
time memories, and is looked upon by
Chicago and tho newer Western cities,
it is to be hoped, with beftting awe.

twill be seen that Grants oppe-
nents number 2o7, placing him in n
minority of "a.
There remain to be chosen by the
States 35S delegates, of whom 2l2 are
from Northern States, and lag frem
Southern. AS Grants reliance for the
rest of hIs delegates is based largely
upon support in the South, the chances
Of his getting q majority at Chicago
seem to be against him. Perhaps the
most Trustworthy forecast OF the result
is that il all the delegates vote from
the outset according to their honest
convictions, Grant Will be beaten; but
if q considerable number Of them al
low their wishes to be stiffied by the
instru ctions of State Conventions,
Grant will bo nominated. In. OF her
words, if all the delegates, to Chicago
voto as they please, Grant will be de-
feated; but if fifty or sixty of them
vote as somebody else commands, he
will he tho candidate. a-f ~ ! ,'n ?.

a Hut to have refused the highest place
to Gladstone would have been to disre-
gard the habits of the British Govern

this b0asted Republic of ours there Is a
government of parties, but not a gov

leatler of tho Liberal party, and as
such has received the chief place In the
now Ministry. His career has been
marked with great labor. and great
SUCCESSES. s. Tho revision OF the tariff in
1872 was almost entirely tho result of
his energy and industry. In 1852 he
was Chancellor or tho Excheuuer In
the Aberdeen Ministry, and In 1859 hc

After PalMerston's death he became

THE CHICAGO OUTLOOK.
EFron ii. 81. sun.l

[From n. Y. SUM- So "'.t u
The whole number OF delegates that
the several States send to the National
Convention is 73S. In addition to
these, the nine Territories will be rep
resented by Is delegates. Weshall not
take these into our present computa-
tion, for, having no electoral votes be-
hind them, their influence will be
small at Chicago. The Republicans
have chosen all their delegates in sew
enteen States, excepting that 16 are
yet TO be appointed in Massachusetts
and 4 In North Carolina. The, num-
ber now elected Is $50, which, 1t will
be perceived, is rather more than, one
half Of the whole.
=, If we regard the Instructions, inoree
OF less explicit, Of the State Convene
tions Of Pennsylvania, New York,
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri. kentuclky,
Virginia, and Oregon, from States
whose Conventions have given no In
the $50 delegates now cho-
sen will be divided as follows: ''i'.

- According to this. computation
Grants opponents number Ice, leaving
him a majority of 56 over them all. Z.
But 1t is well known that under this
classification according to instructions
there are many delegates set down for
Grant, especially in Pennsylvania and
New York, who are thoroughly OPP
posed to him, and they mostly prefer
Blaine while ON the other hand Il
few arc put down for Blaine who pre-
for Grant. If, then, we pay astrict re.
gard to the personal preferences of the
$50 delegates, they should be arranged
as follows:

THE MOWGATE ARCTIC EXPEDITION

- A bill providing for the equipment
of the "Howgate Arctic Expedition -
under the supervision of Capt. w. III.
Howgate, of the Signal Service Dureau,
Mt Washington, and for the acceptance
of q vessel from Capt. nowgatc for the
resentatives' and is now before the SEN
ate Committee On Naval Affairs. The
vessel referred to in the bill Is said to
Ike the British steamer Gulnare, which
is now at Alexandria, Va, being fitted
out evidently for some expedition.
She Is 2f7 tons In measurenacn 81 7.12
feet beam, IL 1-12 feet depth of hold,
half brig rugged, furnished with Il pair
of compound engines, and was built in
Glasgow, in 1878. II. g. Chester, ono
of the mates of the Polaris expeditions,
which met its fate In 1879 at I4ittieton
island, is superintending the strength
ching and rentting of the vessel. The
intention Of the EXPEDITION, which will
consist Of about twenty-five persons,
including corps ofscientifc obser vcr.s,
IS to sail from New York about tho
middle of May, and after touching at
various points on tho coast OF I.abra-,
dor and Greenland, to proceed to the
west coast of Smiths Sound, mt Inti-
tude 81 degrees 40 minutes, where tho
first permanent depot for supplies will
be made. Aftcr landing tho men and
supplies the vessel will return In the
fall. Capt. Howgatc's plan OF reaching
tho Pole is by 4 system OF slow but
continuous advances, made in several
successive seasons, pushing his camps
further and further northward AS rap
idly rs may be found practicable, es-
.tablishlng sure basis OF supplies, and
replacing men who may become dis
abled or disheartened with fresh re-
cruits each year.r Thc expedition will
not be forced TO return as far south as
Newfoundland for coal supplies, but
will probably avail Itself OF the Eureka
coal mine, discovered and worked by
one of thcenginecr officers and n detail
of men from the United States steamer
Juniata In 1s73.3 This fnine Is on the
island of Dico, about ninety miles from

A convict escaped from an Alabama
prison with ball and chain attached
to one leg. He carried the irons in his
arms until he came to 4 river, when he
sat down to file them off. His pur-
suers came up, and he was compelled
to choose between surrender and the
forlorn hope of swimming the stream
with the weight. I1e decided upon
the latter, and plunged into the water.
Although powerful swimmer, and
had plank to buoy him, he was
drowned.

A I.ongwood, Mass, man undertook
to drown four young kittens. After
they had been in the water some time
he buried them in heap of refuse. Two
days later, when he went to the barn,
he heard a faint "meW' from bar
rel, and on looking in he saw the old
cat with her four kittens, all alive.
She had dug them up from their early
grave and restored them to conscious
ness. For days afterward he could not
visit the barn without being followed
by the cat, who watched every move
ment he made and seemed determined
to guard her kittens more carefully

the Democracy or the country can get |
along with Mr.. TilGlen. Now that the
great work has been dome of proving
that Mr.. TilSlen and his ,friends can he
just as big headed and selfish and OBJ.
as Mr.. Kelley and his friends,
it will very rapidly darwin upon tho

of the South on this floor. Men who
were not elected by Legislatures nor
accredited by governments chosen
by the free voice Of tho people. But
they at least represented force and
power. The Legislatures which sent
them here, elected as they were by
disfranchisement, and supported by
the Federal army, had authority with
in =, the States, and. passed
laws. which we were compelled
to obey. They represented the State
Sovereignty, even II wrested by force
or fraud from the people, and for the
time being, there was no conflicting
authority. But this is. the first case,
|iMr. President, in which a Senator
has been seated, chosen by no Legisla-
ture, accredited by no governor, and
representing no State government
which is. known or recognized by any
people or authority in the land.
u Mr.. President, in conclusion desire
to say that for three years the State of
Louisiana has been misrepreseted ON
this floor by William Pitt, kellogg {;
that for seven years she has suffered
from his usurpation, misgovernment,
and Misrepresentation; that during
most of that time his official tenure has
been protected by the republican par
ty, and supported by the military pow
er of tho Government that all Of the
wrong, all of the trouble, all of the
bitterness, which has been visited. up
on my people during that time, can be
laid at his door and to his responsible
ty. All of the caiumny and misrepre-
sentation which has been poured upon
Louisiana and her people has been his
work, and for the purpose Of perpetu-
ating his power. e.l.I.s-g ..
These charges may fall upon ears,
deafened by partisan zeal, OH tho 9TH
er side of this Chamber, but ask the
representatives of the Democratic par
ty, who compose tho majority here,
who know the truth whereof I speak,
to do justice to. Louisiana, and to, seat
in this body the honorable and distin-
guished gentleman who has been cho-
sen In u legal and constitutional man.
ner to represent her here. a-&"i' . ~
ask my republican friends ON the
other side of; the Chamber, (who by
the exegencies of this case are COM
PEELED to empty the walls of their wrath
and to shower dcnunciation and abuse
upon the heads of our devoted people),
when the hour of passion shall have
passed away and the voice of partisan
ship shall have become still, to visit
for themselves our beautiful State and
make the acquaintance of our people.
They will find that their ears have
been poisoned by falsehood and deaf
ened by Misrepresentation. They will
find in Louisiana generous, kind
hearted, and intelligent people devot-
ed to liberty, law, and good govern
ment, energetic Hirtuous, and hospi-
table,. They will find: the most ami
cable relations prevailing between the
races, and will find the colored race hap
py, prosperous, and contented. They
will find the sunlight of prosperity

full land, and its people, white and
