settlement, you did that, they told you
to give them the Governor, you gave
them Mr.. Holiday, at this point DR..
Phillips asked the speaker to tell the
people whether or not Mr.. Holiday We
toed Readjuster measures for the settle
ment of the debt. Mr.. Hamilton be-
lieved that he did, and said that the Re-
adiusters elected him, and if he did
prove traitor-and veto their bill, | am
not responsible. viii Mr.. Hamilton if
elected on his no party platform, be re-
sponsible for being Funder in the leg
isature?
Mr.. ii. charged the Readusters with
never having voted for the lIenkel Bill,
or any other bill in favor of schools
DR.. Phillips reminded him that Henkel
himself was Readjuster at the time of
the passage of the Henkel Bill. The
Prof. is very much opposed to the coall-
tion Of the Readjusters and Republicans,
says that coalition means dishonesty, and
that he has studied chemistry as far us
baker and learned that oil and water
won't mix. He was asked by Mr.. Jno.
Q. Statzer, good Readiuster, to give
some chemistry on the mixture Of Dam
lei and Barbour. Daniel and Barbour
wasn't in the chemistry Mr.. Hamilton
used.
Mark this-unless Mr.. II. makes Il
better impression on the minds Of the
people than he did at Walace's, he will
be elected on the 9Th Of Nov. to lIamil-
ton Institute. Respt. l.. G.. w.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1881.

THE Funders don't stand quite up to
Daniel as they should. A fortnight ago
they claimed he would carry the State
by 10000. Now they claim only 49,
600 for him. Really they ought to claim
that there is no Readjuster party left,
and that hc will be crowned Governor
by acclamation. Now, the sober truth
Is, that the Readjusters don't bend worth
a cent under this game of bluff and brag,
and not all the brass bands Mr.. Daniel
may carry with him or be met by can
scare the party that intends to make
Cameron Governor by fair and quite
respectable majority as the believe. The
8th day of November will collapse q
goodly number of paper balloons. Such
kilograms as that he will SWEEP the S.
West, and will carry Tazewell county,
and that Washington county will give
him 800 majority, merely serve to ad-
vertise extensively the bold nature of
Funder pretcnsions. The Readjusters
mean to stand to their guns, and are
ready for the shock Of battle on the sec
ond Tuesday in November.

Reputation in Pulaski.

The Bland South C West has the
Peoplc~down on the charge of Funder
liquidation. 1t seems that Pulaski
county wanted Salt in 1862, and sent Mr..
Baskerville to Saltville to promise that
II Stuart, Buchanan &.Co. would let the
county have it, the county would pay
for it. The county got the salt and used
1t, but never paid for it. The case went
to the court of appeals, and the county
got rid of payment because the statute
of limitation barred the debt. The
amount OF the debt was $650.00--and
tho. amount is repudiatcd by county
that used the salt, promised to pay for
ii, As ableto pay tor it, and chooses not
to pay for it, but generally votes the

receivable cupons on that debt. Sabc?

and invests his memory with the halo of
a sacriticial offering. Hereafter, as often
as men shall revert to the incidents of
this catastrophe, and the sad story will
be theme of undying interest, they will
accord to the martyr the tears Of pity
and the homage of vencration.
But while, aS short sighted mOrtalS, we
are contounded by the blow which shat
ters so many cherished hopes, and af-
fronts our imperfect sense of justice, let
us not mistrust the wisdom and bcneYo-
lcncc Of the oyerruling Providence; but
let us rather piously contlde that from
the cloud of calamity will issue a bless
ing to the nation. Already, in the man
ifestations OF mourning prevalent
throughout the South, we discern the.
tokens of that union of the surest safe
guard of the union of States. And who
will repcl the fond belief that, in the
presence of this awful catastrophe, the
clamor of sectional contention will be
softened and subdued into an accordant
strain of fraternal sympathy; aud that
around the bier of our departed Presi
dent the scattered children Of the house
hold will be gathered into the embrace
of reconciled and reunited family. So
may it be, and may the life of the Re
public be as invulnerable and immortal
as the career of its chief was brief and
precarious.
