CoLoUITT men in Georgia are rejoicing
that there are so many colored voters in

stump orator down there will grow to be
as polite TO SANiBo as are those of New York

IN his correspondence with BLATANT

to dandle the rag-baby if by so doing he
could advance his presidential aspirations.
His dispatch TO PLAIsTED was bid in the

THE Charlotte IN. C.) Observer joins the
Charleston Is. c. Ne,cs and Courier in
lamenting the "apathy" of the democrats
in the agricultural counties of their re-
spectiye states, and asks, "What does it
import?" The reply is easy. Tho masses
do not see the necessity of turning out to
meetings and going through all the trouble
and expense of campaigning when the
result lies solely in the count. The demo-
cratic voters know that it is all right. The
count elects-not the votes.

THE repudiation amendment to the con-
stitution of Arkansas was proposed by a
democrat it was ordered to be submitted
by democrats, it was advocated solely by
democrats, it was voted for only by demo-
Gratis. 1t was opposed at every stage by
the republican party In the Legislature, on
the stump and at the ballot-box. 1t failed
of adoption because while two-thirds of the
democrats of the state were in favor of it,
the republicans, with the minority of demo-
Gratis, made small majority against it.

HENRY B. PAYNE, the millionaire demo-
crat Of Ohio, and one Of the great iron
masters of the state, finds it difficult TO De
a democrat in face OF the free-trade plank Of
his party platform. In speech the other

that the word "ouly" WAS in the tariff
plank Of the democratic Platform" taril
for revenue only "--and said that, while il
meant nothing, twas sentimental nonsense,

Mr.. A. B. MULLETT is out for HANCOCK,
but he says that neither CHASE, FEssEN-
DEN, McCULLoCH, boutwell, or RICH
ARDsoN ever meddled with contracts or in
terfered to influence them in any way for
their personal or political advantage This
is good tribute for HANCOCK man to give
to the purity of the republican party, and
fails to make out much of case in favor ol
n change unless n private grievance In
ficted by single officer is to be reckoned
of more account than the record of gen.
Grafton of other officers.

BALTIMORE is Just now largely engaged
in decorating itself for the demonstration
Of Monday next Arches span the streets
and hagl and bunting are abundant as Ear
MS the work has been pushed, but there
seems lack of decorative talent to encom-
pass and complete the ornamentation before
Monday. Some buildings on the principal
streets still lack decorative display, while
others are blooming. The German element
is represcted largely by the colors Of father
land-yellow and black, These do not
give decided blaze to the prospect, though
relieved by our national colors.

In the democratic party is to ignore any

mony. The Memphis Aralanche admires

TIC Grand Finale,


The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
held their last session till IL 80 on the
night of Dee. 3lst. There was near
one hundred dollars that was turned
over to Major White the County Trus-
tee, with instructions to apply it on
the streets and bridges of the town.
There would have been more but the
Board voted themselves s. extra pay
each and thus cut it down $50. The
Board really deserved that amount ex-
ira pay as they had done considerable
extra work in winding up the affairs
Of the city. For several days they
had meetings once per day.
The only thing they did to their dis
credit-snd every II we have heard
speak oft censure them-was they
voted to pay halfthe cost in the Chan
Gerry Court on a suit not yet decided
against them. 1t will be remembered
that certain parties enjoined the city
last year through Judge IIoyl, then
came Chancellor Bradford and dissolv-
ed the Injunction. The matter stands
yet, just in that shape. The question
was sprung in the Board, and advoca-
ted by Aldermen Cate, Wood, Robert
son and Bristol. 1t was vigorously
opposed by Mayor Upton, Aldermen
COllmGn and Baker; but the bill was
passed and the Mayor declined to serve
any longer. Alderman Cate was then
elected Mayor and the appropriation
was made and records signed, Just be-
fore the meeting of the Board, Alder
men Bristol and Robertson declared
that they would never consent to such
a scheme, but their minds by some m
known were very suddenly
changed.
We suppose they became very sympa-
thetic all of a sudden and concl uded
they would make these parties that en-
joined, Il neat little present. Very kind
in them ~iEdeed-iust such a kindness
as the tax payers of Cleveland will ever
remember. These parties that enjoine1
the city are the ones that incurred the
expense and they should have been
left alone to pay the cost.

We wish to announce now, that al
though the Commercial is Republican
and disircs the success of Republican
principals and organization, it will
refuse,to support any Republican for
a State Office who favors reputation
or is in favor Of scaling the debt be-
low a figure which the creditors vol
UNFAIRLY concede. Between a Rcpub-
lican Rcpudiationist and a State
credit Democrat the Commercial I'M
qualiiedly pledges itself to the sup
Of the State credit Democrats,
and whl stick by the pledge to the
day of election.
How many Of our Democratic read
ers are willing to to pledge their vote
to State credit Republicans as against
Reputation Democrats?-Chat Com.
We wish to go a little further than
the Commercial. We will positively
refuse to support any man, Democrat
or Republican, who advocates the
scaling of any portion of the debt. If
we owe a debt it should be paid, and
if we don't owe it, we should not pay
it. If there are bonds outstanding
that were sold dollar for dollar let us
pay them in full. If there are bonds
outstanding that were sold for less
than their face called for, let the
State pay them off at exactly what
they were sold for and no more. This
will be fair for all; it is the only hon
est settlement that can be made that
will give entire satisfaction to all.
The people Of Tennessee are not a
set of thieves, neither are they a set
of fools for IL lot of politicians to pull
around by the nose.
1t must be remembered that the
Tax payers have a say in this settle
ment matter us well as the bon2hol-
de1s. Give them a show.

Death Of mn old Citizen.

Departed this life at his residence
known as the cold Betsy Walker farm
in Bradley County, Tenn, on the even
ing of Dec. 9th, 1879, n. w. Hays at

The deceased was born in 1903 at the

that in the relations of life he has sus-
tanned the reputation Of a good citizen,
Il kind ncigllbor and an ailectionate

Powell Lowe Shoots a Man I'm
Alabama.


Monday night we received a letter
from a gentleman in Goodwater, Ala,
stating that Powell Lowe had shot and
dangerously wounded 4 man while in
discharge of his duty as city Marshal.
Our correspondent further states that
there is considerable prejudice existing
there rgainst Lowe, bccauee of him
having been Il federal soldier; and de-
sires TO know how Lowe treated OK
rebels when he was Marshal OF Cleye-
Land, and desires further 70 know
something Of loves past history in
, Cleveland.
For the beucfit Of our readers in
GoOdwater and of our correspondent
We will just state that Mr.. Lowe was
born and raised in Cleveland. His fa-
ther, mother, sisters and brothers are
all living here now. Dir. Lowe, when
the war broke out was quite young;
lie sided with the Union and joined the
Federal army. He was personally
very popular, and after his return
home he was elected city Marshal by
an almost unanimous vote, and was
afterwards elected five more terms.
His first and second term were trying
ones; it was just at the close of the war
and the feeling in this country against
rebel soldiers was very high and a
great many feared to come home for
fear of being murdered.
But when Mr.. Lowe took hold of the
reins of the law, confidence and pro-
lection was guaranteed. lie has OH
dozens of occasions kept eX-rebels from
being mobbed or killed. And for his
treatment of these men he won their
friendship and made lifelong support
ers of them. In fact these men that he
thus defended were his friends all dur
ing his citizenship of Cleveland and
would vote for him against any candi-
datc-even of their own party.
Mr.. Lowe is q man OF courage he Is
cool and deliberate, and never fears to
do his duty. 1t is the unanimous ver-
diet of the people of Cleveland that he
was tie best peace officer the town ever
had. In 1873 a petition was circulated
in Cleveland with siguerS, asking Mr..
Lowe to return and become a candidate
for Marshal, but as he had then been
Il citizen of Alabama for Owe IL year
he could not then serve If elected, and
the matter was let stand.
Mr.. loves many friends in Cleve-
land do not believe he has gone beyond
the limits of the law in the G0odwater
tragedy and hope he will be dealt with
justly.
