The friends of Mr. Tilden who
assert that he can carry the solid
south will find that they were never
more mistaken, in case he is nomi-
mated. He can not possibly carry
the south, the solid south. If he is
nominated the solid south will be-
come a thing of the past. There
will be no more solid south. While
the south always has. and will be a
solidity on the nominee Of the par
ty, in case good available man is
put before them, they will not again
support a man who is physically,
mentally, morally, socially and re-
liglously unit for the important po-
sition of president of the United
States. Furthermore, the intention
of the democratic party is to elect
their candidate in the next contest,
and realizing that it will take their
CON bined force to accomplish thir
they want map who is in every
degree available; and they do not
believe Tilden is that man, AID
their reasons for such belief ale too
apparent and well known to appear
here. That he is not the man and

ficient.

Just now the "busy hum of in
dustry" is the sweet music that re-
lieves the monotony of country life.
Our farmers doubled their diligence
after the long rainy season and have
nearly recovered the lost time. Corn
and cotton planting is under head
way. We will have a greater acreage
of cotton this year than last. The
wheat was considerably damaged by
insects, but what was left is looking
finely. Jack Frost made sad havoc
in some OF our gardens recently.
The health of our community is
good. We have had some pneu
monia and pleurisy, with a pretty
general stock of bad colds and sore
throats. Uncle Sam Causby has
been sick several months. His life
has been despaired of frequently,
but he holds on to existence with
a tenacity unusual for one of his
age. Mrs. Alice Graves died on
the night of the 18th inst. She is
the fourth of her family that has
fallen beneath the fatal stroke OF
that invincible destroyer. pulmo-
nary consumption, in a little over
twelve months. She leaves a hus-
band and one child.
Mr.. r. j. Barnett will soon be

Seymour's Star.

Nashville American.
The rapid swelling of the tide in
favor of Gov. Seymour is some.
thing remarkable in American pol
itics. Not even the interests of ri
val candidates can obscure the Sey
mour star as it rises in the ascen-
dant. 1t has been no great while
since he was first mentioned as a
possible candidate, and it is not
more than a few weeks since we
collated the evidences of then mere
" growing popularity in the men,
ton of his name in that connection.
Now he is mentioned everywhere as
one of those whose name must be
considered In the National Con-
vention. This grows out of the
fact that it is known that Mr.. Sey
mour can carry the State OF New
York beyond all question. 1t is
said that he will not accept, but il
is also said that he will not give a
written declination. This is wise,
and shows the: exact position of
Seymour with regard to the nomi
nation. He does not want the nom
ination, but he is too good a dem
ocrat to decline if it will aid his
party to accept. Gov. Seymour,
with Mcdonald of Indiana, or Mr..
English, of that state, would make
q ticket which would be acceptable
to all democrats. Mr.. Jewett, Of
New York, would, perhaps, be
equally available and there Is but
one idea in his way. The demo-
cratic party, while having no war
to make on corporations, may de-
cline to nominate a railroad king.
Bayard will be equally acceptable
to all shades of opinion and his
strength with the German vote and
with the snti-Grant republicans will
bring his name up at the proper
time for consideration. Groesbeck,
of Ohio, will. perhaps, be an equal
ly available candidate for the state
of New York, although a western
man. His past record will render
the consideration of his available
ity almost certain as the time draws
near. 1t is, however, beyond all
question that the Seymour boom is
now, and, Tor the past week, has
been swinging high above all other
booms, and If it keeps on swinging
as 1T has done, it will land the Sage
of Utica in the White House before
he Is fairly aware of 1t himself.

From WashinPton.

A dlSpatch from washington re
porting eleven deaths from yellow
fever in New Orleans and two in
Memphis during the month of
March, was sent to the press of the
country few days ago upon author
Ity of the national board of health.
1t was promptly and Indignantly
cOntradicted by the health officers
of both cities, who insist. with much
emphasis, that not a single case of
yellow fever has occurred in either
place since the suppression of the
epidemic last fall.
The senate exodus committee ex-
amined M. w. Reynolds, president
of the Parsons, Kansas, branch of
the Kansas freedmen's relief asso
citation. He said the exodus had
not yet damaged Kansas, but
thought if it continued at the same
rate as in the past year it might, in
course of time, prove damaging to
the white people of the state more
so than to the colored immigrants.
The total value of the exports of
refined petroleum ILLUMINATING oily
during March, 1880, was 81, 977, 968;
for March, 1879, 81, 614, 481; for the
nine months ending with March,
1880, $26,OS9,914; for the nine
months ending March, 1879, $780,
100000.
On Thursday last the senate COM
mittee on railroads heard further
arguments on the bill to extend the
time for completion of the Texas
Pacific railroad, and adjourned till
Saturday, when action is expected.
C. p. Huntington and ex-Congress
man Jeremiah NJ. Wilson, repre-
senting the Southern Pacific rail
road company, of California, were
heard in opposition to this bill,
and Governor Brown of Tennessee,
briefly rejoined.
The house passed the Harris bill
to provide a fund for the recon
struction of the navy, by an almost
unanimous vote.
The treasury department pur-
chased last week three hundred
Thousand ounces Of silver for the
Philadelphia and San Francisco
minis.
One of the most important gener-
al measures now pending before the
house with a favorable committee
report thereon is the militia bill,
about which very little has been
written by southern editors. The
scheme is to enroll, organize, arm
and equip such number of men
not less than seven hundred-in
each congressional district in the
several states, to be called the Ma
tional understanding akin to
the mobilization system of France
or the landwehr in the German
states. The service in these ma
tional regiments will be compulso
ry, and will embrace all sound
males between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years. The bill will
likely pass if it is reached on the
calendar, as 1t had a unanimous in
dorsement in committee with the
exception of one, Emory Speer, who
will submit a minority report and
speak and vote against the meas
ure.
OF arrears of pensions, there re
main less than three thousand cases
unadjudicated. The total amount
already disbursed on this account
is twenty-four million five hundred
thousand dollars, and the number of
claims for arrears now on file amout
to two hundred thousand dollars.

Nothing but Compound Oxy-

eight months in all, and in less than
three months from the time 1 began
taking the Oxygen l was up and get

doctors to die time and again; but i
still live, and believe that nothing else
but Compound Oxygen saved me-" A
letter received five months later from a

We notice an article is going the
rounds of the press, purporting TO
have originated with the manage
ment of the Illinois Central rail
road, describing n new route from
jackson, Tenn, by way of Nash
vile TO Cincinnati. The parties
are rouudly praised for conceiving
this idea, and the management is
quietly accepting the praise.
Now, Major w. j. Sykes, of Co
lumbia, wrote letter to the PULAs
XII CITIZEN suggesting this identical
idea, and that was republished in
the Banner over a month ago.
Thus it is all over the world
One hen lays the eggs and another
cackles over them, as if she had en-
dured all the tortures OF parturi-
ton. 1t Is getting to be quite com
mon for such things to happen in
railroad circles. The same gentle
man made a speech ten years ago,
which was published everywhere,
suggesting the building of a road
from Leighton, Ala, on the line of
the Memphis and Charleston. Now
that same idea is Landed to the
skies, as a w-born infant. Such
are the ways of the world.
