II Colonel Turner makes another race
for Congress he will have 10 tell the peo-
Pile exnctly where he stands on the ques
ton of Improvement OF rivers By aid from
the Federal Government. His district is
more directly Interested in this question
than any other one in the State, and per-
haps in the United States FROM the fact
that IL touches more naviga5ie streams
Tins interests OF his constituents demand
that he shall be on the Improvement side
ofthe question. There Is no doubt bat hat
this question viii be au issue 10 the psI
ties OF this district, aud when IL has been
fully laid before tho people, AMI they
have become alive TO is vital Importance.
no one need apply tt represent rs unless
he is for improvement. Millions upon
millions OF dollars have been appropria
tod for the improvement of the streams Of
the North and East, while the South and
West have received comparatively moth
ing for this purpose. II money is aPpro-
priated for this object we had just as wei
have finger in The pie as any other sec
tion, and The only reason we have not got
ten our share iu-the past is because there
has been no unity Of action on the ques
ton between the Southern and Western
Representatives. WeUeed aud must have
Congressman alive to the question Of the
day, men Of progress and activity and
when we have this sort our S0Utberu

Hon. James B. Beck has been reelected
United States Senator, which we think a
wi.e and proper selection. His reputa-
ton is national, and his statesmanship
is as broad as his reputation. His re-
election was foregone fact, well under
stood by all. save few in this section of
the State, who have been engaged some
months in futile attempt to work up
some opposition. He was elected by the
unanimous vote Of the Democratic mem.

The manufacturing Departmental the
Nashville penitentiary was Destroyed By
ere Monday. Every workshop within the
prison walls was total loss. Altogether,
this was one Of the lar gest manufacturing
establishments in the South The loss is
set down at S85, 600 to the State, and be
tween $500, 600 and $500, 600 to the lessees.
Cherry, OConnor Co Only six con
victs escaped during the conaqgration
or course, we sympathize with the mis-
fortune of individuals as to property
losses; but, es q matter Of principle, it is
crying shame for the great State Of
Tennessee to erect and maintain a great
manufacturing establishment, operated BY
convict labor, in competition With the
honest labor of honest Tennessee me-
chanics Some Tennessee politicians talk
glibly about the great wrong Of requiring
our home industries to compete with the
"pauper labor Of Europe. but as unjust
as that may be. how much greater wrong
is it to require our home mechanics to
compete with the no-pay convict labor7
Honest mechanics, working for other fac
tories, must support themselves and fam
lilies, and are entitled to fair wages for
their labor, but how can the great State
Of Tennessee expect them to receive this
fair compensation when it fosters and
maintains 3 competition in which no
wages are paidl For our part, we sym.
pathize as 20 the property losses, but, as
an honest conviction, we should not care
if every penitentiary- factoy establish
ment in the United States were rased 70
the ground, and never rebuilt.

Protect FaDns EnamstrIeS.

We copy the following from that staunch
Democratic paper, the Elizabel htOwn
Ne,cs;
In an extract which we lately gave
from some exchange, Hon. D. ". Voorhees,
was made % say that Indiana was hope
lessly Republican,. We have ascertaineI
that this was a misrepresentation. lie
said that il was hopelessly Republican on
free trade, direct taxation platform,
whenever the Democratic party presents
that issue. The platform last year read
"a Tariff far reyeny2 .rlV.' - Nh -AoQUhseS
aud many other Democrats want " 20
read "a tariff for revenue, nth iHcifsatgl
protection to he manufacturing Industries Of
the country On such platform this
Mr.. Voorhees, thinks that Indiana is
Democratic by from ten TO twenty thOus-
and majority. Kentucky never, ne yet,
has stood on any other tariff platform.
For many years the tariff has not been an
Issue in Der politics. But when this sub
Ject '0Is discussed, and by the ablest men
OF the State, she Invariably went Tor a
tariff which incidentally and with dis
elimination afforded cid 10 oar home
manufactures against the pauper labor Of
Europe. In this she followed the safe
leadership of such men as Clay, Ciitten-
den, Understood Hardin. Helm. Harlan,
Pope, Letcher, and others whose wise
Instructions have never been forgotten.
On this question we opiue IL win be a
herculeRn task TO wrench Kentucky from
her ancient mornings.

Anti protection holds the same relation
TO the Democratic party that anti slavery
used to hold to the old Wing party, and if
the protection Democrats DO not want the
party to 20 the way and share the fate of
the old Wing party, they will see the dan
ger in time, and either fall in line or 90
with the protection Republicans, where
they viii find congenial company.-ICour-

The Courier Journal is reminded that in
the Democratic Congressional caucus. on a
test vote, made by the free trade Demo
Gratis, (of course none but Democratic mem
bers voting) the vote stood 80 free-traders
70 81 anti-free-traders; and Mr.. Randall,
protect We Democrat, was made the nomi-
nee. Therefore, unless the. m nority pro-
pose to control, the Courier journal had
better "fall into line, or seek eongenial

Guitean,s "Theory."


Many things eaid and done in the trial
Of Gui,eau have been without precedent IN
any other criminal trial Perhaps the
scene last week was the stranEest Of all
A prisoner on the witness-st8nd engaged
in constructing theory of his own iusan-
ity, fortified with his own statements up
on matters of fact, and endeavoring to
expound to = jury the precise nature and
degree of his irresponsibility for his own
acts; is = novelty in criminal jurispr6
dence. Guiteau's procedure showed con
siderable shrewdness and ingenuity, of
the same low kind which he mas shown at
previous stages of the trial; but the at
tempt is 40 manifestly sbsurd and the the
DRY necessarily so self contradictory that
shrewdness and ingenuity of q far higher
order than Guiteans wonld be helpless in
the face of Guiteau's problem. The mans
inordin ate vanity interferes with him at
every step lie blaspbemes his maker so
for as to assert that he had an Inns pira-
ton TO murder the President; but he must
needs argue on his own account in favor
of the "sweet reasonabieness" OF divine
inspiration. While protesting that he
had no malice, he showed that he had NAL
ice Here also his vanity led him astray,
aud be permitted it to be seen that his di-
vine inspiration proceeded from a human
resentment of the snubbings that he had
received from the President and the Seere
tary Of State. lie makes it quite plain
that lie has lied about his having continu.
ed to cherish any expectation of receiving
an ofTce up 10 the time when be shot the
