hospitality was uubounded, aud no

d,sparaging w,ri to say against
him, but all deplore bis less as a

WORKING Mems Votes.

tis learned from the st. Louis
globe Democrat that when il was
discovered a few days since that 800
Polish workingmen at South Bend,
Ind, bad, as an organized body, re.
solved to vote the Republican ticket.
there was much CO nsternation mani
tested by the Democracy Of that In.
diana village. These men who have
heretofore been reliable Democrats,
and their dcsertion at such criti-
cal stage of the campaign bad to be
accounted for in some way. so The
story was promptly circulated thai
they had been coerced 10y their EN-
ployers. IL was said that they had
placed before them the choice be-
tween v ring with the Republicans oI
being discharged, aud that they
chose the former as the least Of two
evils. But toe workingmen imme'
diatoly replied to this explanation
with a card, 10 which they denit
that their employers knew anything 4
about their contemplated political
change, and averred that it bad been
coosummated by themselves after
mature deliberation They gave as
the controlling reason for their
Abandonment of Democracy their con
viction that the Republican party is
the proper party for workiugmen
to act with. This inc Ident is i'm
portant as showing that the class OF
citizens who are most injured by the
pernicious tendencies of Democracy
are attaining a wider perception oi
their duty to their country.

The fact that the South Carolina
census has been fraudule ntly made
up bee ,mes m IRE anl more clear.
The statement that the population
Of that state hal increased " per
cent. in 10 years appeared prepos-
terous when it was considered that
the immigration had been very ligb,
and the emigration very heavy dur
ing that period. But information
from Democratic sources come to
expose the sham. South Carolina
takes a decennial census. In 1869
this was managed by Republicans ;
in 1880 by De npcrats The figures
for 1879 are given in the report OF
the Comptroller General of the
state, just published, aud shows
that the number of buildings was
2,6l0 less last year than in 1869
aud yet the Government census sets
the increase Of people at 2Jl,2lS SO
that the decrease in houss accom-
modations appear about in the rati O
OF the growth ofpopulation. Sheep.
cattle and hogs are given by the
State censns at fewer in number
than they were 10 years ago-evi-
dence of a falling away in popula-
ton. Bnt here is moro direct proof
Of fraud. A South Carolina emu
n.erator has written to Gen. WALKER
for per mission "to stricli ont 200
names inserted by error, and au ex
animation Of returns discloses the
fact that hundreds Of names have
been written on uusoiled sheets, aud
at the sane angle. showing that the
writing has been done at one sit-
ting.

REASONS FOR OUR FAITH.

We mentioned the fact, in our
issue of last Saturday morning, that
Senator Bayard had made a seces-
sion speech in 1861, and we pre-
dicted, what has already come true,
that even the southern democrats
would drop him from the list Of pos
sible candidates for the presidency.
We said in that connection, that
Notwithstanding he was secession
ist he would make safer president
than any man in his party, but ex.
pressed the opinion that his party
would control him, and for that rea-
son, no matter what his personal
qualifications may be, he ought not
to be president. To all of this the
Knoxville Tribune replies in a pains
fully laborious editorial, from which
we make the following extract;
1--WE are at loss to know upon what
fact In the history of Mr.. Bayard the
CHRONICLE editor bases his appre-
tensions. Is there one act in his life
as public man and q senator Ia Gnu
gress to support such position. No,
tne secret of all this latter day praise
OF q good man, lie, that the editor of
tue CHRONICLE knows that Mr.. Bay
ara ls practically out of the race for
the presidency, and he can now affnr6
to praise him at the expense Of other
candidates. The danger with M
Bayard, az president, the CHRoN1c1I
says, would be that he could
not control his party, but that
the party would control him );
Suppose it were even possible for thu
party to control Mr.. Bsyard, what
harm to the country would the
CHRONICLE apprehend from the fact
Has the democratic party, since it has
been in control of both branches oil
the legislative department, committed
any act of disloyalty, or one that did
NOT look to the best interest of the
whole countryi I'VE beiieve,'-pro.

Kenzie, in Carroll county. The

the article assumes that the roughs
who committed the outIages res
ferred to were citizens of Car

from Gleason, which, If the Banner

We mentioned the fact when we
published the editorial alluded to,
that the roughs came to Mckenzie
from Weakley county. The objec

taken.

Bean Day.

A peculiar custom, deemed irrefrag-
able by the Romans, is thus described
in one Of the London papers-the eat
ing of large beans on the I'd of No
vember The origin of this is not
known; but it is thought that in olden
times the dead were honored in May in
stead of November, and that, as beans
were then in season, they formed part OF
the feast. Now however, dried beans
have to be eaten, and as everyone does
not Like that food, the church allows
imitation beans. These are made of
sugar and pastry, made up in the shape
of and called dead mems bones. The
very name is sufficient to deter many
from partaking of this pastry, though
it is said to be delicious; but the sight
of human bone, even when being
eaten by the prettiest of mouths, is not
pleasant. The custom of placing these
Death bones on dining-tables had the
