\ RECONSTRUCTED CHURCH. In
Rogcrsville, Tenn, occurred recently
the first instance st union between Nor
thern and Southern Presbyterian con
gresations Of which we have heard. Ii
appears hat during, or Immediately
after, the war, a Northern church wa
organized in that town, by the Union
i>t' element of the population. 1t will
be remembered that "Parson' Brown
low, and Andy johnson, whose home
was in the adjoining county from
Rogersvillc, had virtually Yankee
lied" that section Of East Tennessee
though the Weather classes were all
true to the South, and many Of them
suffered from their loyalty to the ex-
tremes of fire and sword, death or ex-
lie. There is a large colony Of Rogers
vile people in Rutherford who were
forced to Refugee" from the Blue
Bushwackers.
Some ten years ago the Rev. Or.

two congregations met, and decided 70
keep the Northern pastor, but adj

church, and worship in its editice.
As all the parties are Southerners,

the union Of the two branches of the
denomination, North and South. And
more to be desired.

THERE is TRUTH IN THIs.-In reply
to a question asked by the editor of the
Greensboro Patriot in an interview with
Mr. Tom Cooper, the other day. wheth-
er the Republicans would be united on
coming issues he replied
practically, they will be. Republi-
cans quarrel and shake each other by
the throat, but they are all Republicans
on election day. 1t is only the Demo
Gratis who knife each other"
Aud he uttered the truth in every
line. One of the reason for the remark
able success ofthe Republicans in main
tanning political Supremacy in this
country lies in this very fact they stick
together and march in solid column
when the day Of contest comes, how
ever much they may differ about candi-
dates or policy before the day Of cleo
ton. Note how the 300 stood in solid
phalan1 at Chicago, casting ballot
after ballot, day after day for Grant, until
he was finally beaten by a combination
of opposing forces; see them retire
beaten, sullenly,i threateningly, from
contest, and then see with what unani-
nifty, after the conference of the leaders,
they rallied to the support of the man
who beat them.-Charlotte Observer.
There is truth in the above, both the
remarks of Cooper, and those of the o.
serve,. But the truth is to the credit
of the Democracy. Instead of being
slavishly bound to the %carttail ofParty, or
worse still instead ofbeing held toeeth
er by the power of public plumber" the
Democrats exercise the right Of individ-
ual opinion, and vote as judgment die
and in the South where SO much de
ponds upon the control Of Government
it is bad for the State. But it eau be
corrected by nominating none but pure
and upright candidates.

You ought TO see those beautiful
velvet rugs at Yeargan, Petty & &c. :,
opposite this office. They are nc
lures Of rural landscape, ancient cities
hunting scenes, etc, las large as HE
and twice a natural, or about as
much so "a the average oil painting.
BY the By, we took a look through
our neighbors extensive establishment

awake Senior partner, who apologlsed
for the packed condition of the upper
floors, by explaining his efforts to get
the building enlarged.
The Mcssrs. Y, p. & Co. have the
right idea about R~aleigh's trade. The
town, as the geographical, railroad, ana
political centre Of the State, should
build up a WHOLESALE business ; sell
ing by the box, case, barrel. and crate,
rather than in retail lots. The larger
the business of u Southern House, the
cheaper it can buy in New York or
Europe; and the lesser It's expenses for
freight, insurance, etc, etc. Hence 1t
would be a good thing Tor the State If
we had a score of mammoth wholesale
houses, In every line of trade. to supply
the smaller stores in the villages and
country. OF course we have a number
of such houses but the majority OF
merchants still deem 1t best to take q
trip North although their expenses
for railroad fares, hotel bills. insurance,
breakage, loss of time, etc, etc, must
make a considerable percentage Oh the
price. when offered for sale.
1t would be well for the leading bust
ness men of the city to hold a meeting,
and discuss measures for encouraging
an wholesale trade.
No town of the size in the South
takes 50 little effort by excursions,
prizes, premiums, etc. cor indeed by
advertising to encourage outside trade
