Alabama and Tennessee.

McMinnville Southern Standard.
1t is really soul cheering and
hopeful to see from the papers
how harmonious and bouyant the
democracy of our sister state,
Alabama, are. We clip the follow
ing from the Scottsboro Citizen
"Col. J. B. Moore, of Tuscum bia,
made a patriotic speech in the
court house last Monday, which
did every true democrat good that
heard it," This speech was deliv-
cred to a united and harmonious
democracy, who are daily organi-
zing for the greatest contest ever
known to our country, the same
party in Tennessee is almost hope
lessly divided, and no man can come
before the democrats of Tennessee
and address them as q unit, as did
Col. Moore on this occasion. We
mention this fact not to criminate
any one but to stimulate every one
to forget all minor difference aad
unite as one man against hydra
headed monsters of radical imperi-
alIsm who threaten the very ex-
istence of the republic and the de-
struction of our free institutions.
Alabama settled her state debt last
year by a compromise and is to
day at peace with herself, honored
and respected abroad and the
democrats are united and harmoni
ous-ready for the great contest OF
1850.

A young man was travelling in
Livingston county, Mo, last week,
engaging corn from the farmers at
forty cents per busheL. He had sue
ceeded in buying corn from a num-
Der of farmers, and Lad taken what
purported to be their obligation for
its delivery. But the next day it
was suggested to Mr.. James May,
one of the farmers who had obliga-
ted himself, that he had better see
what kinu OF paper he had signed
lie started for Chillicothe immedi-
ately, and, on arriving there, he
found that he had signed note for
$3.50, which the fellow had just dis
counted at the Savings Bank. Mr..
May and Mr.. Ryan then proceeded
TO look for the scoundrel, and came
upon him just as he was boarding
the train. They made him refund
the money and then lodged him in
jail to await the action of the grand
Iury.

The Next Electoral COLLEGE.

The twenty-five northern states
cast 23l electoral votes; the sixteen
southern states cast 13S. 1t takes
1875 electoral votes 10 elect Thus
it is shown that if the democrats
carry all the southern states, which
we believe they will, they will lack
forty-sevea votes of an election
The thirty five votes of New York
and the three of Oregon would just
fill the bill, added to the solid
south. Outside of New York, take
the fifteen of Indiana, the nine of
New Jersey, the SIX of Connecticut,
the three of Oregon, and the six of
California, and they have to carry
Massachusetts, with her thirteen, or
Wisconsin with her ten. From this
it is observed how absolutely im>
perative it is for the democrats TO
carry New York to have any hope
OF success. Horatio Seymour,
every body admits, can carry the
state over any man the republicans
may nominate, by 10000 majority.
Hence, it will be seen how indispen-
sable he Is to success.

The startling announcement is
made that a recent important de
cision OF toe supreme court has
been given out in advance by some
one having access to the consulta-
tions of the court, or some other
means of ascertaining their views.
The case is that of the Missouri
Pacific railway company against
Ketchum, the decision IN which was
announced last Monday. 1t was
known by a certain clique in Wall
street at least on Friday what the
decision would be, as a letter from
a prominent banker interested in
the stock of that road was received
here Friday announcing that it
was known that the decision would
be in favor of the Gould party.
The matter is being quietly investi-
gated, and every effort is made to
hush up the scandal. But 1t is per
fectly certain that an opportunity
was given 20 the street to speculate
upon the opinion in advance of It's
delivery.

IN MEMORIAM.

Lines dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. MILTON
GRAHAM on the death of their little
boy, WILLIE RHINE, March oath, 1850

four days.
The angel of death has visited your
home, and taken from you one of
your jewels, and to wake from your
happy circle the wall of lamentation
But there is something significant in
all that God does. While your sad
bereavement will draw you nearer to
Christ. it was to Willie no CHASTITY
spectre with grim visage and skele-
ton form striding upon the horizon of
his little soul, but an angel of love
clothed with beauty and life-
While you were weeping, he was ex-
claiming, "Welcome, death Thrice well
comet The last trial is over-the last
tear is shed-the last pain is felt-the
last sigh is heaved-the last groan ut
tered--he will never sim His soul is
forever emancipated from all corrup-
ton. Now in heaven it shines with
the bliss of a seraph. Death is swal-
lowed up in victory. Life, life, ETER-
NAL LIVE, is his eternal portioni
Parents, weep not for your jewel. Let
him he beacon light to guide you to
the portals of the skies. When, with
the staff of Jacob. you pass over Jordan,
your friends will weep for you on one
side and farewell words sadden in tears,
while on the other side your little boy
will stand with outstretched arms, a
beaming face and swelling heart, lifting
up his voice of graduation and welcome.
Then your jewel will be yours again.
Then God will be yours in all His inef-
fable glory and fullness OF love-
Jesus will be yours-your King and
Savioi-your Lord and Christ. The
Holy Spirit will be yours, to I'LL you

The True Policy.

Nashville American.
The true policy for the state cred
it democracy to pursue is to insist
upon square declaration in favor of
a sound public credit and public
faith TO be religiously kept. This
is SO overwhelmingly the opinion of
the democracy that we doubt if
there are fifty in the state who ia
vor any independent movement Of
a coalition with any party or wing
of any party.

Why He is for Grant.

henderson Reporter.
Grant was a successful general
succeeded in capturing Lee, and
murdered more men to do it than
all our other generals put together
He always succeeded by sheer.
brute force. Give him plenty OF
men and money and some other
mans brains, and he is a sure sue
cess. He has been president two
terms and knows better how to
be president than any other man.
He established more whiskey ring
and Belkap steals, sent more men to
tie penitentiary, took more pres
ents and made more money out of
the office than ali his predecessors
combined. His administration bank
rupted more people, caused greater
distress and cost more money than
any other. He vetoed the soldiers
bounty bill and approved the
one doubling his own salary.
And we can't help but hip, hip, hur-
rah tor Grant, the old flag ard a
very large appropriation.

We had the pleasure of meeting
our distinguished representative,
Hon. W. G Whitthorne, ia Nash
vile last week. He was en- route
to his home in Columbia and looked
better than we ever saw him. He
described the political outlook as
encouraging, and thinks the recent
stirring debates in Congress result
ed in several decided advantages
being gained for the democracy.
The republicans, lacking the lead
ership of Garfield In their desperate
efforts to retain exclusive control of
the machinery of elections, we're
badly demoralized, and the demo-
cratic leaders were shrewd enough
70 profit by their dilemma.
Gen. Whittorne, replying to an
interrogatory squarely put, said

strongest man the Democrats could
and the surest to com
mand success. If the electoral vote

Success Is one of the tests ofmer-
1t. To establish the cause of the

the calamity OF defeat in the com
