the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
na7y at Louisville, KY, with the munifi-
cent gift of fifty thousand dollars, the in-
tercst of which is TO pay the salary and ex-
penses Of one professorship in the Semi

The Democrats of Columbia bav

The Democrats of Columbia have
nominated Capt. Richard O'Neal. Jr.,
for Mayor of that City. They will be
opposed by an independent candidate,
who will receive the entire Republican
vote, and therefore the contest will be q
close one. The city Democrats have cur
anxious good wishes for their triumph.
1t is matter of Importance not only to
them but to the State. The Independent
candidate scheme is only plausible de.
vice of the Republicans, and if success
ful in Columbia the temptation to try it
elsewhere will be increased. The Demo
Gratis of Columbia are jealous, and will
work indefatigably for the triumph Of
their ticket.

The Democrats in the House of Rep
resontatives have passed the following as
proviso to the appropriation for the
payment Of the expenses of United States
Marshals for eeryices rendered in attend
ing elections:
Provided, That hereafter special deputy
marshals of elections for performing any
duties in reference TO any election shall
receive the sum of FIVE dollars per day in
full for their compensation and that the
appointments of such special deputy mar
shals shall be made by the Judge Of the
Circuit Court OF the United States for the
district in which such marshals are 10
perform their duties, or by the District
Judge in the absence of the Circuit
Judge. Said special deputies shall be
appointed in equal numbers from the diff
ferent political parties and the persons
60 appointed shall be persons of good
moral character, and shall be well-known
residents of the voting precinct in which
their duties are TO be performed.
This proviso will neutralize in large
measure the evil effects likely to follow
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the validity OF. tho elec.
tion laws. The provisions of the amend
ment are perfectly fair, and, if adopted,
will do all that is necessary for the equal
protection of both political parties. Il
will also, to very great extent, prevent
the appointment Of @ set of professional
hangers-on, who arc unfit for sny decent
service, but who have been sent out over
the State to do the vile work Republicans
have had for their ready hands. The
amendment will pass the Senate, and
President Hayes will not be likely to
veto measure so perfectly fair and nom.
partisan. The Democrats are to be con.
graduated on their considerate and wise
course in this instance.

with Sherman and the present admins

will 60 to Illinois at once to "repair his

which may be made before it becomes ef-
fectual.
As the convention in its wisdom has
adopted different principle, proprieiy
dictates the nomination of a candidate
whose convictions are in harmony with
the principle declared. l therefore re-
quest you TO signify TO the convention,
that, while / intend to stand by the dem
cratic party FIRST, last and all the time,

We insist that the issue now before
the people of this state is, shall mo-
nopolies and corporations dictate the
action Of conventions, and control the
legislature of the state, or shall the
voice Of the people be heard and
obeyed in all matters affecting the
public welfare2 ? The democratic
party of Tennessee, with the gallant.
one-armed Wilson as its standard
bearer, reafirms this to be govern
ment Of the people, for the people, and
by the people, and that the late at
tempt Of political demagogues under
the false cry of state credit and good
faith to fasten upon the people OF
Tennessee, without their consent,
about S24, 100000 railroad indebted
ness, deserves the condemnation of
all friends of the people; and we de-
clare that the honor and good faith
Of our state can only be preserved by
dealing justly with its own citizens.
Our banner is unfurled, upon it is
inscribed the will Of the people, as ex-
pressed at the ballot box, must be re
spected and with the Hon. s. +.
Wilson as our standard bearer, we,
the low tax democracy Of Tennessee,
appeal to the honest, intelligent tax
payers and voters in the state to de-
eide the justice Of our cause.

TIE HIGH CREDIT PLATFORM.

Referring to recent communiea-
ton which appeared in the LEDGER,
and is attributed to Hon. j. R.
Beasley, of Winchester, the Jackson
Tribune and Sun says:
Beasey was at Nashville when the
democratic platform was adopted. and yet
ne says it does not SAY coupons shall not
be made receivable for taxes" The wri-
ter drew that resolution and gave il to
Mr.. Sanford, of Upton, who offered it,
and it was adopted as part Of the plat
form and appears as part of it. 1t is
not astonishing that Beasley should have
misrepresented the fact, but it's strange
that the editor Of the LEDGER published
it without correction or comment. The
race is between Hawkins and Wright,
hut further notice Of that is unnecessary.
There are maQy points of difference be-
tween the democraica and republican plat
forms, though they agree in the decara-
tion for an honorable settlement OF the
debt. Justice or fairness could not be ex-
pected Of Beasley, but the LEDGER should
uphold its reputation.
We have read and published the plat
form, as it appeared in the Nashville
Banner, Clarksville Tobacco Leaf
and other state credit papers, but did
not find any reference to coupons
whatever. If themajority convention
adopted another platform, We never
knew Of it. There are nine sections
in the platform as published. The
fourth and fifth only refer to the deb
question, but not TO coupons. W.
are informed, however, that reso
luton was adopted against making
coupons receivable for taxes. Thi
fact escaped our intention until now
If the straight out state credit organ
do not publish their own platform
correctly, they can hardly complain
of those who are misled. The plat
form, as published in dozen of thei
papers, does not contain any sllusiol
to coupons. That is not the fault 0
Mr.. Beasley, or Of the LEDGER.
