Special TO the Herald.
Nacods, via Henderson, Sept. 1.-The
congressional convention assembled here t.
dsy at 10 80. Colonel j. Il. Brooks called
the convention to order, ard Judge Bennett
Blake was selected temporary chairman
The roll of counties was called. A mum Der
of them was not represented. The question
as to the basis of county representation arose.
upon which there was great deal of unnec-
essary debate. Some of those who engaged
in the debate wished the public to recognize
their craftsmanship and thought this fitting
place to display it. They were finally soothed
down. The convention appointed COM
mittee on credentials, consisting of one from
each county. A com nittee of five was,-ap-
pointed on permanent organization. The
chair while waiting for the report
of the committee, appointed committee
of three to wait upon Hon. John ID. Reagan
and ask him to address the assembly, which
he kindly consented to do after the report OF
the committee. :.
,s-Gplonel J. C.Woolters was election perma-'
nent chairman of the meeting, when Hon. J.
q. Reagan was renomnated for congress.
The nomination was seconded by ten or
fifteen members at the same time. The
whole convention arose with enthusiastic
cheers, nominating him by reclamation. A
committee was appointed to escort him into
the convention.
RESOLUTIONS were then adopted endorsing
the national and state platforms.
Colonel Brooks was reelected chairman
of the first district.
Hon. Reagan, being introduced TO
the audience, delivered splendid
address. He made one of his characteristic
arguments upon the political topics OF ne ne
day. He portrayed the conduct OF the OLD
Democratic party, and proved the falsit.y Of
the Greenback party by written statistics
from the congressional reports, and comps,r-
ing lem with theirs before the people.

Captain Wise offered the whole correspond
ence, which Is quite voluminous, and in the
course Of which he denounced and black
guarded them as towards and dastards, who
had stabbed him in the dark. DR.. Johnston,
in letter to Captain Wise, stated his con-
necion with the affair and demanded full
retraction Of the insulting language by Cap
tain Wise, to which the latter replied, de.

Neighb0r Jones.

I'm thinking, wife, of neighbor Jones, the
man with the stalwart arm.
He lives in peace and plenty on forty acre
farm; a7 81 @f a...-E s..-.7
When men are all around us, with hearts and
hands a-sore,
Who own two hundred acres, and still are
wanting more.
He has pretty little farrn-a pretty little
house;
He has loving wife within, as quiet as a
mouse; .- .. s-....
His children play around the door, their
fathers heart to charm,
Looking just neat and tidy as the tidy little
No weeds are in the corntield, no thistles in
the oats, | , sy gaf
The horses show good keeping by their fine
and glossy coats;
The COWS within the meadow, resting meath
the beechen shade,
Learn all their gentle manners from gentle
milking maid.
Within the field on Saturday, he leaves no
Graded grain
To be gathered the morrow, for tear
coming rain;
He lives in joy and gladness, and happy are
his days;
He keeps the Sabbath holy-his children learn
his ways.
He never had lawsuit to take him TO the
town,
For the simple reason there are no fences
down;
The bar-room in the village does not have fo1
him a charm,
| can always find my neighbor on his forty.
acre farm.
His acres are so few he piows them very deep
lis his own hands that turns the sod, It's his
own hands that reap; --.
He has place for everything and everything
in IFS place;
The sunshine smiles on his fields, conten
ment on his lace.
May we learn a lesson, wife, from pruden
neighbor Jones,
And not sigh for what we haven't got-giv'
vent to sighs and groans,
The rich amt always happy, nor free from life
alarms,
Blest are those who live content, though sma
may be their farms.
