Howell Il. Jackson.

Howell E. Jackson, U. s. Senator
elect, is the Representative of Maids n
in the present Legislature, a State
credit Democrat, a lawyer of frst-class
abilities and man Of unquestioned
honesty and integrity, and universally
pupular.
A thrill of joy has spread through
out the Democracy of Tennessee, and
general rejeieings Throughout the Uni
ted States at his election. The Repub.
licvns are also rejoced at the result
since they could not elect their man.
No selection could have been made
that would have given such general
satisfaction to all parties. The Demo-
Gratis and Republicans held political
love feast" ON Wednesday night over
the result.

Did He Sell Ont.

Mr.. Buchanan, Representative Of
Lawrence county, last Tuesday in the
Legislature arose and said he was low
Tux Democrat, and was elected as such (;
that he could not vote for Bailey, but
because some Republicans had voted
for him that he intended to vote and
did vote for Horace Maynard. He re-
fused to vote for Bailey because he adj
vocated the 504 as an honorable and
fair settlement of the State debt, yet
he voted for Maynard, whose party
platform favors a settlement at what.
ever figures the bondholders may de-
mand. That is to say, Mr.. Buchanan
says he could not vote for moderate
State credit Democrat, but can and
does vote for the highest tao man in the
State.
VIII Buchanan's associates in anC
out of the Legislature approve or con
denim his course?

The Immortal Sth of January.

The city of New Orleans paid all
due respect to Jackson's Day 18th of
january. 1t was spent as holiday
The Federal offices and the banks
were all closed. There was street
parade by the volunteer soldiery, and
in the early morning salute was fired.
Tobacco Leaf.
We are glad to note the fact that
New Orleans, amid the degeneracy of
the times, has not forgotten the day of
her deliverance and the nations regen-
Grafton from British thralldom.
The Declaration Of Independence
on the 4th Of July, l776, and the rev.
dictionary struggle incident to its es-
adjustment, would doubtless have been
lost to human freedom, and in the OBJ
servance of national anniversaries, if
the 9Th of January, 1915, had not bro
ken the shackIes of oppression once
more sought to be fastened upon the
infant Republic by the arrogant foe
that first forged the chains for Ameri-
can bondage. The sun rose on that
eventful day to witness sad spectacle
in the land of Washington and his
compatriots. Every port on our ma.
tional seaboard of the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico was blockaded by the
British Navy, the mistress of the five
oceans. The National Capital, which
had been consecrated to the virtue and
patriotism and christened by the name
of Washington, was burnt and lay
smoldGring in ashes. The American
army, insignificant in numbers and DIES
ttute of discipline, was dispirited and
defeated before the victorious veterans
df+ke Duke of Wellington. But thanks
to the God of Nations, another Wash.
ington had been born and reared upon
a soil kindred to the Old Dominion,
the birthplace of the first. The patri-
olism and military genius Of Washing

The Salary Raised.

One of the first acts of Gov. Marks
was to approve Il bill reducing the sal
airy of the Governor from $4,000 to
$1,000 per annum, His last official
act was to approve an act passed by
the present Legislature to raise said
salary from $4,000 to $4,000. He gave
as his reason that he had tried it and
found that the Governor could otfive
on $4,000 with the necessary expenses
of the position. The strangest part of
the7whole transaction is that neither
Marks nor Hawkins is etf6GtGlGhGthe
change, for the reason that it is mcon-
stitutional to increase or lessen the sal
AIRY of an officer during his term of
office. The Legislature made the last
change in order, that Gov. Hawkins
might get the benefit OF it, as it was
done before he was inaugurated, but 1t
is now held that the salary cannot be
changed so as to effect the Governor
after he is elected. Gov. Marks takes
this latter view Of the subject.

United States Senator.

During the 9th ballot, when the
name of Senator Daniel was called, he
arose and in an eloquent and patriotic
speech withdrew the name of Hon.
JAS. E. Bailey for the sake of harmo-
ny and the success of the Democratic
party. The result of that ballot was !:
Maynard, Al !; Taylor, 81 Bright, s.;
james, 3; Watson, 2; 7. M. Jones,
2; Bailey, 2; Rose, 3; w. NJ, Ran
dolph, 2; Jordan Stokes, Whitthorne,
East and Etheridge, l each.
On the 30th ballot, when a large
number Of Democrats were changing
to Scion E. Rose, r. r. Butler, Re
publican, now took the lead in voting
for Howell E. Jackson. THIS caused
Mr.. Jackson's friends to rally to him.
Then followed scene of unparalleled
confusion, during which Democrats
and Republicans We'd with each other
in voting for and electing Mr.. jackson,
the Republicans declaring that there
was no chance to elect Republican,
and if a Democrat must be elected they
wanted one that would satisfy the
whole.country and they believed Jack
son to be the man. The result was
jackson, 70; Maynard, %; Rose,
Taylor, l; Edwards, /. Messrs
Mathews and Buchanan, low tax Dem
ocrats, voting for Maynard. Mr.
jackson was declared elected amiC
deafening applause from all parts o
the Hall and galleries.

Necessity of Ventilation.

1t has been ascertained that one per-
son will render unfit for breathing
1900 cubic feet of air every hour.
That is to say, if he is sleeping in a
room ten feet square and twelve feet
high, with no change Of air during ore
hour, the air in such room would be
rendered unfit for breathing. In order
to keep the air pure in such a room
through the night it is necessary to have
thirty square inches of space through
which to admit it, and the same mum
Der for the exit of the vitiated air.
This may be accomplished by raising
the window sash one inch, if the win
dow is as much as thirty inches wide,
and lowering the top sash one inch. A
chimney with good open Aue will an,
swer for the latter.
Bad air is poison, and pure air is
to human lungs what water is to the
fish. Is it surprising, then, that so
many people sicken and die without
knowing the cause of it? The open
log house is more favorable to health
than the solid-wall palace. Will
men, women aud children ever learn,
and then'practice it, that pure air is
necessary to health?

{ n had revisited the earth in the er-
son of Andrew jackson.
That evenlful day found Jackson
with 5000 unframed but brave soldiers
confronting $4,000 of Wellington's vet
Grams, military dictator in the city of
New Orleans, but dictator for his
country's good and the salvation of the
Republic. Jackson's Spartan band,
composed mostly of Tennesseans and
Kentuckians, threw themselves between
the victorious hosts of England and
the Crescent City as they poured forth
from their ships on Lake Borgne.
Here, on narrow neck of land be-
tween the Mississippi river and the i'm
passable swamp, the cause of American
Independence was once more and for
the last time staked upon the issue Of
battle. Here on this narrow pass less
than mile wide, the brave veterans.
led by the gallant Pakenham, were
moved down with terrific slaughter by
the unframed Americans, directed by
the skill and led by the courage of
jackson.
That days sun which rose upon the
gloom we have delineated, closed the
day upon scene equally sad, but with
results widely different. Pakenham,
with 1000 of his braves, lay dead AID
.sweltering in their own blood, while
jackson and his gallant comrades were
masters of the field as well as the ma
tlonal contest, with only seven killed
and thirteen wounded. 1t seems pity
to spoil fiction SO unique and so uni
versal as the story of the cotton bales,
but the facts of history require US to
say that this days work was not per-
formed behind cotton bales, but behind
earthworks, and by brave hearts and
unerring Tennessee and Kentucky
marksmrn, the cotton bales having been
tried as breastworks and proved fail
ure by being set on fire and scattered
among the powder magazines.
Philosonhically speaking the 9Th Of
January is greater anniversary in the
United States than the 4th of July,
on the principle announced by Cicero
in his exultations over the escape Of
the Roman Republic from the snares
of Catiline, when he declared that the
day of its liberation was more to be re.
jOiced at than the day of its birth,
since the condition of being born is un.
certain, I, G as to whether the eSent
would ever take place or not, and also
as to whether it were better for it tC
occur or not, but the condition of the
liberation is certainty, both as to tn,
fact and its great utility. In other anC
palmer words, it would have been bet
ter that the American Republic hac
never been born than that jackson
should have failed at New Orleans ant
the Independent States resolved bach
into Inundated and mortified English
colonies.
Let the lesson be transmitted to al
posterity by appropriate anniversary
ohservances that this country ma,
never forget Virginia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Jefferson, Washington anc
Jackson, the Declaration, its establish
ment, and its regeneration, the 4th o
July, the 10Th OF October, and the StI
Of January. Let these never be oh
liberated while patriotism finds HON,

An article on the familiar corruption
of proper names ending in SELL" such
as Bedell, and such names also as Bar
nard, by pronouncing the last syllable
with Il strong accent, recalls a familiar
instance in Tennessee politics. There
are a great many persons in Tennessee
who will call one of the most pominent
figures in Tennessee politics Maynard,

nounce it the other way.-American,

The COlOredMan and the Cabinet.

The Democracy insist as test of
the good faith of the Republicans that
Mr.. Garfield ould appoint Senator
Bruce to a position in hi, Cabinet, and
in this connection we said last week
that Mr.. Hayes expressed great regrets
for the fate Of the poor colored man"
the day after the election when he
learned that he was defeated but after
wards he was seated and for four years
had not appointed the colored man to
coffee in his Cabinet or elsewhere of
ana Importance" and in this connection
mentioned Fred Douglas as being over
looked by Mr., Hayes. So unimpor-
tant was the position to which he was
appointed that we had forgotten that
Douglas was in office at all. One of
our special friends calls our attention
to the fact that Hayes appointed Fred
Douglas Marshal of the District of Col
umbia. But it will be seen that we
were speaking9of "oflice in his Cabinet
or elsewhere Of Importance" Now we
might differ as to the "importaDce' OF
the office of Marshal of the District of
Columbia at Il salary of 81, 400 Il year
with the fees of the office in cOmpari.
