dread and intending suspense are simply
awful. And in all the other convenient
ces and improvements of this high state
of luxury and civilization, there has
been no place provided for the "beaver

safety for it, not even on ones head,
for it is more liable to knocks and cuffs

There is but one solitary CLEAN of
comfort and consolation in all this mis-

questionable source, that "misery loves

Yesterday was an interesting day at
the Assembly. Rev. Mr.. Sturges, a
Missionary heretofore mentioned in this
correspondence, addressed the Sunday
School and exhibited the various arti-
Giles Of dress worn by the natives, es-
peciaffytha royal families. The,main
article, in fact almost the only garment,
reminded us very much of a home
made Confederate shawl, about 2x3
yards, with a hole in the center, through
which the royal head is passed, allow
ing the robe to fail loose around the
body to which it is bound by a fancy
girdle. At this point DR.. Crisman ask
ed if they wore pants, to which Mr..
Sturges replied they did not, and as
they depended on Boston for shoes they
never got any, owing to the great dis
lance, which is 1900 miles west of San
Francisco. He stated that his church.
es on those far distant Islands had al.
ready Cat 9 o'clock a. m. here had
their Sunday Schools and preaching,
had retired to bed and were then fast
asleep, it being night there much ear
lier than here. That during part o.
the year there they had 70 look nortf
for the sun, and at other times the sur
casts no shadow at all, being vertica
so that its rays fall directly on top o
ones head and makes no shadow. H,

Ehe Speech.


Col. Savage addressed a large audi
ence at the court house on Tuesday last,
according to notice given in our issue of
last week. si aa
1t is difficult if not impossible to
give an accurate synopsis of the speech
as delivered, As the speaker said he
was "laying down preGminaries rather
than going into detailed discussion of
matters which would arise during the
approaching canvass" The effort
therefore was more generic than speci-
fc. The fundamental principle sug-
gested was one involving the irreconci-
able difference in the two characters of
government which had been tried
amongst men; one in which the fay
cred few claimed the right to exercise
power over the many; the other "a
kevernment of the people in whom all
er properly resided, and for w!Rost
! government was or should be q
mere fundamentally ssrbiect to then
absolute control ard protective of their
interests. These governments were
known as Autocratic and Democratic.
Tothe first he was unalterabiy opposed,
AID Of the latter the firm and unyield-
Isag suppetter and friend. He said this
great principle was involved in the ap.
preaching canvass and into the contest
he was ready to threw his whole ener'
gies as the champion of the peoples
right to govern; that Tennessee had
been governed by rings and Lobbyists
who had been too successful in tramp
ling upon the rights and interests o
the people, but their end draws nigh
as the people themselves are nov
aroused and will right their wrongs
This leading principle was enforced b.
argument, by illustrations from histor.
and the Bible and flashes of wit whicl
at times provoked much merriment
and applied to some of the points whicI
the speaker said would be debated i
the progress of the canvass.
On the whole it was an earnest, yea
Gus and vigorous outline of thespeaker
views of Che political situation in th
State, and was listened to with NOR
than usual attention. We presume
: will be given to the public in full her
z after, and If need be, we can then n,
: tice its practical tendencies and poir

We are informed that the leading
editorial in last weeks issue under the
heading, "The past the great teacher"
has given offence to some of our Re-
publican friends. Surely this is mis-
take. 1t pointed out the great danger
to the whole people North, and South,
Of letting demagoguesinstead of states
men control public offices. The mere
fact that the demagogues mentioned in
the article were bloody shirt republicans
does not alter the ease. No matter
where they come from or to what party
they belong they are, and always will
be dangerous to liberty. History will
write it down that instead of declaring
the war over, the union restored,
peace universal, and administering the
government from this stand point as
true craftsmanship would have prompt
ed, the selfish politicians then in power
threw away grand opportunity to re
unite our people and strengthen the
bonds by which cur institutions are tC
be made perpetual. nj.

Surely, these are not only represen-
tative men Of the church to-day, but
of it for fifty years and more. And to
this list of venerable octogenarians we
add a number of other prominent
names of less age and experience
among them DR.. A. j. Baird, Pastor
of the first G. P. church, Nashville;
DR.. I. G. Blake, late editor of the

byterian, Nashville, Tenn; Elder
Thomas McNyeely, of Charlotte, FORM

ture, and large number of other min
listers and Elders who are prominent
in the church, the whole party num-
bering about seventy-fve, all of whom

In Virginia, an agreement has been

pertinent that we hope will prove sue
cessful, and save that grand old COM
monwealth from the clutches of Repub-
licanism, but we fear the result. The
State debt question has already split
the Democracy of that State into

the other on hot foot, engendering di-
vergence and personal aversions
amongst former personal and political
friends When the discussion Of this
exciting subject once more begins, how

The second phase is represented by a
large portion of our party calling them
selyes low tax Democrats, who deny
the power of the Legislature to direct
the issuance Of bonds, assert all of them
