was the platform of a demagogue.
The canvass he made upon the
stump was full of demagogism. His
first message to the legislature was
that of a demagogue, and his admins

in future history as a demagogues.
But with all this, his valedictory
created surprise, and was O. severe
disappointment to his best friends.
There was not word said about his
successor. He treated him with as
much Indifference as if he had not
been there. It was an egotistic dis
play that no public man would have
been guilty of except Gov. Marks.
The spirit of Gov. Hawkins in
augural was excellent. It contained
nothing that the worst bourbon
Democrat could object to. The Re-
publicans could well afford to print
the two addresses side by side and
circulate them as campaign
document. The Republicans aud
the conservative Democrats are
satisfied that Governor Haw-
kins is going to give the State
such an administration as his friends
will be satisfied with, and that will
bring prosperity and credit to the
State, and add great strength to the
Republican party. He is honest
capable, and feels that interest in
Tennessee that will cause him tc

A SPECIAL to the Louisville Com
mereial says that the refunding
bill is still in the committee of the
whole, and it has become apparent
that the leaders of the Democratic
party in the House are determined
that the 5 and 6 per cent. bonds,
which become redeemable this year,
shall not be refunded, if they can
prevent it. Fernando Wood and
Randall both act exactly as men
would act who should have an in
terest in advancing the price of
government bonds now outstanding.
1t would be unjust, of course, to
ascribe such a motive to either of
these gentlemen, and yet it is very
difficult to believe that either of
them is honestly convinced that the
measure that he is supporting and
advocating will, if it is adopted,
end in everything but failure; and
of course everybody admits that
the failure of the funding act, or
passage of such law as would de-
lay refunding even for one year,
would greatly increase the price of
the four, four and half and FIVE
and six per cent. bonds now OUT
standing. Messrs. Wood and Ran
dali have repeatedly declared, in
the course of the recent discussion
on the refunding bill, that they are
in possession of information from
bankers and other capitalists, which
assures them that a 8 per cent.
loan will be easily sold at par, but
they have not condescended to

NASHVILLE, Jan. IS, 1881.
Before this reaches the readers of
the CHRONICLE, they will have read
the details of the ballotting on the
first days. It may be that they will
receive simultaneously with this, in
telligence that Senator has been
chosen. If result is reached with
in the next three days, it is almost
certain that the Senator elect will be
Republican. To all human fore
sight it now appears impossible for
the discordant Democratic elements
to harmonic. Every effort that
has been made thus far has been
signally fruitless. AS I have
said before, the backbone of
all that is left of the Democracy
of Tennessee is with the low-tax ele-
ment. They have held caucuses al
most every night since the legisla-
ture assembled. But even they have
been unable to agree. They have
met with closed doors, guarded by
careful sentries, but in almost every
instance they have been astounded
by seeing their inmost secrets pub
lished in the KNOXVILLE CHRoN1cLE or
the Louisville Commercial. They
met last night and balloted for Sen
atOr. They sWOre each other To SO.
crecy and supposed that their acts
were known only to themselves
This morning, an hour be-
fore they met in the
two houses, they read in the Louis
vile Commercial all they had done.
The ballot showed to-day that thew
carried out what mad been agreed
upon in caucus, twentysthree out of
twenty>seven of them voting for
John Fl. Savage.
The so-called State credit demo
Gratis have attempted a single caucus
up to this time, and then there were
not enough of them present to make
it respectable. They adjourned in
disgust. They are like a ship at
sea, tossed to and fro in the storm,
without rudder or compass, and with
a captain and pilot in whom they
have no confidence. It is not the
time to make predictions now. The
result OF the ballots will be given to
the CHRoN1cLE as they are taken.
The valedictory address of Gov.
Marks delivered yesterday, continues
to be a subject of remark. Demo

ing vigorous adjectives to give en-
phasis. There never was a more in

REPUBLICAN Senators do not
want an extra session, and will do
nothing to make one necessary.
Neither do the Democrats want one,
but some of them are trying very
hard to get up the Kellogg-Spofford
case this week. Two Of the most
prominent Republicans have pri.
vately said that if the bill is taken
up for action they will each "be
good for speech which will last a
week in delivery" The cheering
probability is that the Democrats
will signalize the closing days Of
their lease of Congressional power
by another notable back down.

information, or to give detailed
description of the assurances which
they claim to have received. Besides,
their assertions have been met with
contrary assertions, entitled to just
as much credit, from Frye, Waldo
Hutchins and other members of the
House whose jud sment is quite as
good, and whose opportunities for
obtaining trustworthy information
are at least equal to those enjoyed
by Wood and Randall These gems
tlemen and other Democrats have
also continued to assert in the face
of positive proof to the contrary,
that European governments have
been able at different times to place
loans on equally as favorable terms
as those demanded in the pending
bill. 3 "a #E5
Some of the Democrats, especial.
ly Wood and Randall, have also.
for the sake of partisan effect, made
pure dema gogical speeches against
the money power, as though it were
possible for national loan to float
on the tide of rhetoric and STUMP
oratory. The proceedings in the
House, however, have clearly dem
onstrated the hollowness and deceit
fitness Of the declarations and pro
fessions in which the leaders of the
Democracy have INDUCED, anc
shown that they do not really ex'
pect, if they do desire it, that a :
per cent. loan on the terms laiC
down, will voluntarily be taken BY
the people and banks.
Throughout the entire discussion
it was painfully apparent that th'
Democratic party is party Of re-
pudiation. Every proposition 70!

Tobacco Smoke Good for the Teeth.

It is only fair on tobacco to point out that
it is gradually clearing itself from many of
the serious charges brought against it. 1.
has been frequently and persistently alleged
that among other ill effects (besides death
and madness) produced by tobacco is de-
struetion of the teeth. This, it appears, is
entirely mistake. Instead of tobacco
causing the teeth to decay, it is the very
best thing in the world for them, and those
who wish to preserve their teeth should
Immediately take to smoking if they have
not already INDUCED in the habit. At a
lecture on teeth, laughing gas, and electric
ity as connected with the dental surgery,
delivered last month in London by Mr..
Thomas Brown, the lecturer observed that
it was popularity considered that the practice
of smoking deteriorated the teeth. "There
could" he added, ''be no greater falIacy.
1t was true that it sometimes discolored the
teeth. but it did not cause decay; on the
contrary, it prevented decay on account Of
the disinfecting properties of tobacco
smoke" This leaves the British Anti-To-
baceo Association and other kindred bodies
in very disagreeable position, for it de-
stroys all confidence in the awful predictions
they are in the habit of uttering as to the
fate of smokers. If tobacco does not injure
the teeth, but is in fact good for them, per.
haps it does not shorten life, but is even
favorable to longevity.

Streng Men.

Strength of character consists of two
things-power of will and power of self-re-
straint. 1t requires two things, therefore,
for its existence-strong feeling and strong
command over them. Now, we all very
often mistake strong feelings for strong
character. A man who bears all before
him, before whose frown domestics tremble,
and whose bursts of fury make the children
of the household quake, because he has his
own way in all things, we call him strong
man. The truth is, that he is weak man
it is his passions that are strong-he, mast
cred by them, is weak.
You must measure the strength of man
by the power Of the feelings he subdues.
not by the power of those that subdue him.
And hence composure is often the highest
result of strength. Did we ever see man
receive fragrant injury, and then reply
calmly? That is man spiritually strong.
Or did we ever see man in anguish stand
as if carved out of solid rock, mastering
himself? Or one bearing hopeless daily
trial remain silent, and never tell the world
what cankered his home peace? That is
strength. He who, with strong passions,
remains chaste; he who, keenly sensitive,
with manly powers of indignation within
him, can be provoked and yet restrain him
self and forgive, those are the strong men,
the spiritual heroes.
