THE alliance of the Bate party
with the communistic, lOw-taX,
Ed Shaw element at Memphis will
disclose its true character, in such a
way as to lose it votes all over the
State. The Bate men there have
nominated mongrel ticket for the
legislature which puts two of Ed.
Shaw's colored men upon it. We
see NO objection to the Democratic
party nominating for office colored
men, provided they are reputable
and are Democrats, and able, but
these men do not claim to be DEM
ocrats. They state that they are
Republicans and are simply in
sympathy with the low-tax Repu-
diation wing of Democracy. They
are representatives of a faction
which was kicked out of the Re-
publican convention at Nashville
last April as communists, and
whose leaders were recently driven
from the post Office at Memphis by
the Republican administration.
They represent the worst element
in Shelby county politics, yet the
Bate men affiliate with these and
put them on their ticket for the
sake of gaining little additional
strength.
The alliance of these elements
should effectually prove that the
so-called Democratic candidate is
but representative of repudiating
and communistic elements who
have deluded good men into the
support of their candidate by a
loud cry Of "party." Better that
any political party now in existence
should perish, than triumph
through such Chattanooga
Commercial Republican,.

Senator HIFs Fdvorfte Cedar.
Atlanta Herald,

A singular coincidence connected
with the death of Senator Hill has
not yet appeared in print. Every
body who has visited his former
residence on Peachtree street, OBJ
served the beautiful cedar tree that
stood in his front yard. Thetree was
planted by Senator Hill, and he
was interested in its growth and
beauty. When Mr.. Hill was car
ried to Eureka Springs the tree
gave evidence of disease, the blight
commencing at the top. Notwith-
standing the close attention of the
gardener, the tree continued to
Wither, and a few days after the
death of Senator Hill there was not
a green leaf upon it. 1t was recent
ly dug up and removed, and it was
discovered that the entire tree was
decayed from top to root.

The Raiiro0d.
Florence. fAla1 Navva

The Evansville papers of the 9th
inst, contain a most important letter
addressed by business men OF Evans
vile to Major Gordon, President OF
the Indiana, Alabama and Texas
Railroad Company and to the Citi-
zens OF Western kentucky, Tennes-
see and Alabama. 1t sets out that
the people Of Tennessee are watch
ing with the greatest interest the
construction OF the road, that they
believe it ought to be built at tho
earliest possible time; and they
assure the Railroad Company and
all concerned that Evansville il
wide awake and ready to CO.
operate heartily i'm securing its COM
pletion."
This paper is so generally signed
by men of influence and wealth I'm
the city that If it were not for the
importance of the road itself we
would discover in it evidence of the
energy and hard work of our former
tOwnsman Hon. w. j. Wood, the
attorney of this road. Many OF our
citizens will recollect of him that he
never undertook thing without 90.
ing into ii "might and main" and
some of his successes at the bar, and
in the legislature, notably in secur-
ing the appropriation for the State
Normal School, where nearly every
one thought it impossible, and the
part he did In the matter of Gov.
Houston's canvass for the u. s. SEN
ate, are we'll remembered in Ala
bama.
But with or without any special
effort of any person, the Indiana
Alabama and Texas Railroad would
commend itself to SO shrewd and
active people as compose the city of
Evansville. They know the efforts
made by Cincinnati and Louisville
for Southern business; they know
that the chief trade of Evansville is
with the South; they know that
they must have facilities for trans
portation to compete with other
places, and to carry southwark to
its natural market the grain crops of
the west; they know they will need
in a short time the immense forests
this road will develop. Weare not
surprised then at this unusual dis
play Of interest. Nor shall we be
surprised at Evansville doing fully
in a large measure, her part to build
this road. AS poor as we are we are
doing all we can. The wealthy and
beautiful city of Evansville, our
northern terminus, we are glad to
understand will do her part, and by
this plain speaking letter has slim
ulated us to further and more Wig
orous action.

The -Four Comets of the Year.
Albany Argus,

In plain fact, there have been but
four comets thus far in 1882. The
first celestial vagrant OF the year
was discovered by Mr.. Wells, OF the
Dudley Observatory, March IL, and
for long time it monopolized the
attention of astronomers in both the
old and new world, owing to its
unique features. Although the
period OF the Wells comet has not
yet been fully calculated, enough is
known to show that the comet will
not return to view under 1,000
years. The second comet of the
year was seen but once, and then
for only very short time, by the
astronomers who were observing
the suns eclipse from Egypt last
spring. 1t was described in 4 brief
dispatch which noted the success of
the observation of the eclipse as ga
fine, bright comet close to the sum-"
and astronomers for long time
watched for its appearance, on the
supposition that it would be visible
on its return from perihelion, but
without success. The third comet
of the year was discovered on the
morning of Sept. 13, and duly
chronicled, by Barnard, of Nash
vile, Tenn. AT first, owing TO the
place of its discovery, in the constel-
lation of the Twins, it was presum-
ed by some to be the re-appearance
of the famous Pons comet of 1872,
but this was subsequently shown to
be an erroneous supposition, owing
to its direction of motion. The
Barnard comet, which was, at the
time OF discovery, faint telescope
object, about one and one-half sec.
onds of arc in diameter, is now APP
preaching perihelion, which ii will
attain about the 7th OF November.
At its brightest it will be about
three tunes as large as when first
seen.

THE people should find way to
sit down on the repudiationists
They are obstructing the prosperity
of Tennessee. Money, capital, in
vestments that bring golden pros
perity to the State and gladness to
the heart of the poor, are afraid to
come within the borders of Tennes-
see, because of this menace of repu-
diatiOn, but thinly veiled in the
Bate platform. No man can deny
that capital is not only not coming
into Tennessee, but leaving 1t, and
all because of the well-grounded
fear that if Bate is elected and the
present settlement law repealed,
that the men who dominate the
readjuster faction will go back to
first principles and repudiate the
entire state debt. We say no well
informed man who will speak hon
eStly can deny this. Then why
should the people destroy them
selves to elect Bate? Is he God ?
Is he Caesar? Upon what meat
has he fed that he has grown 80
great that Tennessee farmers, me-
chanics and workingmen of all
classes must bankrupt the State in
order that Bate may be governor?
Are honest men to throw their
children beneath the wheels of this
Tennessee juggernaut, or commit
political hara-kari at the bidding Of
a handful of party bosses? How
much wiser, sounder, better TO in
vste capital to come to the State,
give hope and confidence TO our
farmers and wOrkingmen by defeat
iag a man whose supreme mission
il will be, if elected governor, to
pave the way TO total repudiatiOn.
We ask the reading and thinking
men of Tennessee to ponder these
momentous questions. - Memphis

We have taken hand in many
a canvass, but never before have we
witnessed such a prodigious amount
of bluster and Dragging. 1t has
been just stupendous. We may re-
mind the Readjusters that two years
ago they boasted that they would
sweep the State like an avalanche.
And, now they will again get IA
Waterloo defeat. They have had
staggering blows between the eyes
within the last fortnight that will
lay them low in November. We
say TO the State Credit men not to
be troubled in the least degree. Only
keep in line and await the result,
and all will be well. We will never
hear of the reputation party after
the election.

Two Fighting Lions Scatter a Crowd.

While Barrett's circus train was
standing on the track at Charlotte,
N. c., waiting for orders, quite an
exciting incident took place. Two
lions began to fight in their cage,
winch was on flat about the mid
die of the train. In their struggles
they upset the cage and knocked
out the wooden side, but the heavy
iron bars remained intact and pre-
vented them escaping. The deep
roars and fierce grOwls of the mad
dened beasts were frightful to hear,
and the way the crowd turned tail
and fled up town was sight. The
keeper of the lions had TO subdue
them by throwing chunks of fire ut
them. While the fight was in
progress to add to the excitement,
the big elephant Xerxes became
excited and threatened to break
from his car, but he was finally
quieted by his keeper, A large
crowd had collected at the depot to
see the circus train, and when tho
lions began to fight they scattered
like ehaff before tornado.

THERE is now but month of
canvass remaining. 1t is evident
that the recent settlement Will be
maintained; it becomes Democrats
to bethink them whether Readjus-
terism in any considerable quanti-
ties will prove an aid hereafter to
national Democracy. Had we not
better make the approval over
wheIming and show Democracy at
its best? For all bitterness and
excitement of the canvass, we have
to reorganiZe Democracy after this
election. We have conducted the
Banner so that we hope no word
uttered can be even brought up as a
bar to future harmony upon wise
politics and sound principles with
old issues out of the way. The
Senatorial race will be mere mat
ter of man, and whatever it may be
necessary to say concerning the ad-
vice of aspirants and the soundness
of their views, no mere matter OF
men can or ought TO stand in the
way of Democracy, when the great
matter of essential principle is set
tied as it will be. Now that Demo-
Gratis have grown calmer and reason
has resumed its sway, it is time for
Democrats to bethink them about
the future. 1t is SO clear that the
settlement is favored by an over
whelming number of the people OF
Tennessee that it behOOves Demo
Gratis to make the Democratic sus-
tanning element as large as possible,
and to defeat Hawkins by voting
for the noble leader of that which
all Democrats now secretly or OPEN
ly recognize as Democracy. No
man can say the July platform is
un-Democratic. We are confident
that the people all over the State
recognize the rapidly-growIng SEN
timent in favor of sustaining the
recent settlement, and if sky-blue
Democracy is right in this, it de-
serves to be trusted by Democracy
as the best for Democracy, State and
national. In this it has already
clearly commended itself to the
sound common sense judgment OF
the State.-N0shUiiLe Banner.

The Peabody tunG.
New York Times.

The Trustees of the Peabody
educational fund met again yester-
day in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and
reelected the old officers of the
board. No changes were made in
the apportionment. Judge Man
ming reported the adverse decision
in the case OF the Mississippi bonds.
When Mr.. Peabody gave the fund
in trust, part of it was in bonds of
cities, States, and railroads, and this
was never available. Among the
other securities were bonds of the
State of Mississippi to the amount
of $500,000. BY a constitutional
amendment the payment of them
was prohibited. An appeal to the
courts did not result tavorably.
During the time that. the bonds
have been in the fund from 81 900 to
$4,000 a year, or $4,000 in the ag-
gregate, has been expended in Mis-
sissippi for educational purposes.
Gen. Jackson, of Georgia, was re-
quested by the Trustees to present
the claim against Florida and en-
deavor TO secure its collection. II
amounts to about $4,000 in the
b. nds of the Territory of Florida.
The board adjourned until the first
Wednesday after the first Tuesday
III October of next year.

LET him come in contact with tho

pened to step on it to see how it was
