Hon. Geo. w. Jones is OF

Hon. Geo. w. Jones is one
of Tennessee's purest statesmen,
Not a blot appears upon his rec
ord. His life is an illustration
of principles that broaden the
public intellect, inspire the high
est aims, and make hopeful the
future in the fultilment Of. obli-
cations which are demanded of
manhood, uprightness and good
citizenship lie was one o. the
few who, years ago, opposed The
issuance of bonds by the State
OfTennessee, alleging that it was
improper, unconstitutional and
mnumerable evils and troubles
would flow from it. But the
bonds were issued, and unless
settled Win CO, Hinue to deaden
business, depreciate the price
of produce, and stop money
from coming into the State.
Mr.. Jones realizes the condition
of affairs, and with a liberality
as unselfish as it is rare, offers
to be one of two thousand per-
sons to pay the whole debt, and
thus relieve the State of its re-
proach. The sum that he would
have to pay would be about
eight thousand dollars.

Judge Williams.
Nashville Herald

While the conduct of the
Judge has been quite unseemly,
it has not deserved the notice it
has received. He is reported re-
Gently, however, to have attack
ed the Supreme Court, saying it
was not to be trusted. If this
be true he is unworthy longer to
preside over a Tennessee Court,
and deserves the strongest con-
domination. When Judge of
a Court undertakes to inculcate
distrust of Courts he is unfit for
a Judge.

Democratic Demonstration in
3s New York. i,

The Hancock demonstration
in New York City, Friday night,
was the greatest political dis
play ever witnessed in the Uni
ted States. Over fifty thousand
men were in line, uniformed, bear
ing torches, and the number of
spectators at Tammany Hall, r.
wing Hall and about Union
Square was not less than two
hundred thousand. The display
lasted until after midnight, the
night was fairly turned into day,
and never since the great Union
meeting at the outbreak of the
war have similar scenes been
witnessed in the city. The
speeches were mainly devoted to
a triumphant vindication of the
Democracy against the SANDERS
about Southern claims, and a
glorification Of the Democratic
as the only Union party of the
country. -

Has it occurred to you that
the boilers have never in a single
instance offered to combat Re-
publicanism. While~pHofessing
to represent true Democratic
principles they have been en-
gagged in trying to Widen the
breach in the party. They de-
clare that Wright is virtually
out Of the canvass and Judge
Hawkins is the man they have
to defeat; and yet, Q, consisten-
cy, they pay no attention to
Hawkins but leave him to roam
where he listeth, while they have
concentrated all their energies to
wage a vigorous warfare against
the election Of Judge Wright,
the regular Democratic nominee.
Shades Of Thomas jefferson,
what an attitude they appear in
before the country! There is
not a bolter stumping the State
i'll behalf of the national ticket,
nor is there a bolter who has
asked a Republican, for a .diYis-
Of time. Savage, to the contrary,
has asked the State Democratic
Executive Committee to canvass
the State with him and answer
his Communistic harangues.
We are forced to the conclusion
that ''the boilers cart is a Re
publican tender" The object
of the boilers leaders, it now
appears, is not to repudiate the
State debt, but to force the peo-
pie to pay the entire debt by
dividing the party, and thus in
surfing the election of a Republi-
can Governor and Legislature.
The issue is Wright and compro-
mise VS.. Hawkins and the pay
ment Of the entire debt. We
recommend to the boilers the
old saw, "Of all studies, study
your present condition. ,lql

THE LoNGAG0NYIs OVER.
The Railroad Suit at Nashville deci-
ded in Favor of the Railroads,
and Against the Bondhold
ers and the State.
No Longer any Excuse for Wilson's
Candidacy.

At Springfield in his opening
speech Mr.. Wilson said, ."since
the liability of the railroads was
being tried IN the courts, what
ever the decision was, whether
for or against the railroads, he
would agree to abide by the logz
ic> of the result in all Of its legal,
moral and equitable consequent
ces."
On Monday last Judge Witty
filed in the United States court
his opinion in the case. referred
to by MI. Wilson. 1t occupies
near three coIumnes Of the A.
mericdn. 1t is exhaustive, log
ical and conclusive. We have
space only to copy the following,
which we think containsitlle gist
of the decision:
"The lien is clearly reserved
in favor Of the State. - 1t was
the State Of Tennessee that upon
the issuance Of the bonds was
invested with the lien or mort
gage without dced.s No other
lien could have priority over OF
come in conflict with the lien OF
the State. The company was
to deposit the interest money and
exchange with the States fiscal
agent at least fifteen days before
it became due or satisfactory ey-
idence that the interest had been
paid or provided. All the suits
and proceedings under the act
are given as remedies exclusively
to the State. The State might
havea decree and sell the road
for non-payment of any bond.
The bond was made by the State
for the accommodation of the
railroad company and was sold
in open market, without any
promise by the company, other
than what is implied to the
State by accepting the benefit
Of the act."
Judge Whitney concludes by
dismissing the bill of the bond
holders.
If Mr.. Wilson is true to bis
plighted word he will no longer
remain a candidate, dividing the
Democratic party and thereby
electing Hawkins, but will with
draw promptly and aid in the
election of Judge Wright. .a

The Utica On. w. Observer puts

The Republican party has

ed with responsibility during fif-

The Nashville 1naerican asks,
"Why is it that the party of
boilers which, with unblushing
check, claims to be the Demo
cratic party, sends no speakers
to meet Hawkins, none to pre-
sent Hancock, and manifests in
no way the slightest interest in
combating Republicanism? An
swer US this" 1t answers the
question in this manner: "The
reason is plain; it is not neces-
sary to pause for reply; the boil

The postmaster of this city
has discovered-or says he has
that the Democratic Congress
sional Committee is sending
through the mails under the
franks of members of Congress,
documents which cannot be le-
gally franked, and he purposes
making a fuss about it. In fact,
he has already made a fuss thro'
the newspapers. Ever since the
campaign opened it has been
charged-and the proof has been
ready-that the Republican Con-
gressional Committee was doing
this very thing. There is no
doubt Of it. And ais the Repub-
>lican Committee has had ten
times the money and a thousand
times the yigor of the Democrat
ic Committee, it is fair to say
that it has been guilty to far
greater extent than the other.
1t has sent away tons of docu-
ments,of every conceivable kind.

said:

Here another dilatory member put in
an appearance and announced that the
person referred to was not dead or even
ill, but was in perfect health. Without
the least change of countenance the
speaker continued:
"That being the case, deem it my

Scheming for Balloon Voyage to the
Poles.

Commander John P. Cheyne, r. NJ,
responded on Saturday, the Oath of JAN
uary, to an invitation from the members
of the Royal Artillery institution, at
Woolwich, to explain his scheme for
the scientific exploration and discovery
of the north pole by means of a steam
err, sledges and balloons. He stated that
Lord Derby and six members of Par
lament had joined the central commit
tee-namely, Sir Charles Dixie, Mr.. j.
h. Puleston, Mr.. William T. Charley,
Mr. William Gordon, DIR. Cameron and
Colonel Alexander. 1t is proposed to
hold meeting at the Mansion House,
to be presided over by the Lord Mayor,
to finally decide on the expedition.
The plan sketched is as follows: If the
estimated cost, ESQ, ZOO, is forthcoming
the expedition will start in June. Her
Majesty's Government will be asked to
lend the steam store-ship Discovery for
the purpose. 1t is also in contemplation
that a shooting party will accompany the
steamer to some of the Arctic bays,
where there is some splendid shooting
wild ducks flying about there in tiocks
of sixty at time, four or five flocks
often passing every minute. Command
er Cheyne purposes wintering the first
year in as high a latitude as posi-
BILE. The sledges will start about March
80, 1881. When the sledges are batfied
by obstacles recourse will be had to
balloons. These are expected to start
about June, next year, (which at time
the sun will be shining in the Arctic
regions "day and night" The bal
looms will be inflated at starting by
passing steam through iron filings, and
will be afterward manipulated by
means of a supply of pure condensed
hydrogen. Three balloons will be en-
ployed, each having lifting power of
one to one and one-half tons. The bal
loon party will consist of seven per-
sons, with water and provisions for
| fifty-one days, but it is expected that
they will reach the North Pole in from
thirty to forty hours after leaving the
sledges. The exploring party will re-
main at the North Pole about week
for scientific observation, and will dis
patch balloon to Russia for the pur-
pose of telegraphing the news to
England. The intelligence, it is
thought, can be conveyed from the
North Pole, 0ia st. Petersburg, to Lon
don within three days. The Arctic
Regions will be photographed from the
balloon every hour, the distance to be
traversed by the balloon being estima-
ted at five hundred miles. Mr.. Coxwell
is to explain the balloon arrangements
at the Mansion House meeting. The
proposal to pay out a small telegraphic
wire from the balloon in transitu, so as
to join the ship with the North Pole,
has been abandoned. 1t was stated
that the Duke of Cambridge had con-
sented to allow military officers to act
on Arctic committees, and, at the con-
clusion of the address, it was arranged
that Notwithstanding the sixtieth
of the local committees throughout the
country-should be formed.

After Three Hundred vaar.

rractlcal newspaper men who have wit
messed the great Improvements in all branches
oi tner business during the last few years have
olten wondered Tat the inventive spirit has
slight changes lave been made since 1885,
something WORTHY of Improvement; but in
ventors @nnes@@-sss ,--ge never thought it worth
their attention, or, IL they did, that improve
ment was beyond the line of possibility. Re-
Gently, however, very successful effort has
been made In that direction by Messrs. Stalter
and hare, of Sandusky, Ohio, who have pat
ented case called 1.-THE Miller patent meya-
Bile eoncave type case" which is now being
used in the Chicago Tribune, A. N. Kellogg's
Auxiliary Publishing House at Cleveland, and
other large establishments, and has received
the unqualified approval of the workmen in
the various offices. The case is composed of
hfty-four separate boxes, which are placed
together upon a common bottom like so many
blocks. The arrangement may be that in gen
eral use, or as the boxes are interchangeable,
1t is but the work of moment to change the
position and bring such boxes into any con-
venient position desired In tabular work
this is great advantage over the old
style. The most important distinguish
ing feature, and one which will commend it
to all newspaper publishers, is the economy
OF type. Being carved out of solid blocks OF
cherry wood, the boxes have an even concavity
OF bottom, accurately proportioned to their
several sizes. In the old cases it is
estimated that fully one-sixth of a
full case is left in the cor
ners OF the boxes, as the compositor finding
1t is slow and disagreeable work to pick type
from the sharp angles, fills up the inaccessi-
BILE space with type. The sides and bottoms
OF the MILLER case" being concave in shape
the type continually drops to the center, and
the compositor can go on picking from the
center of the box until it is emptied. The
printer is not obliged to stop to shake his
case or to scratch the type out of the angular
corners, often injuring it by breaking off the
nne lines OF the face. The boxes can also be
kept perfectly clean from dust and dirt.
There are many other advantages which will
readily be observed upon trial of the cases.
