The Political Guerilla.

The course of the democratic party in
first opposing and denouncing everything
the republican party has done, and at last.
after term Of years, endorsing what it
had before disapproved. is noticed as fol-
lows in one Of our exchanges: TO the
political guerilla there is nothing the re-
publican party has done within fifteen
years which he thinks worthy Of praise.
Indeed. there is nothing which it has done
within fifteen years which he does not
stamp as tine darkest, vilest, meanest and
most shameful OF political action The
guerilla has just got around to praising
John Brown and the abolitionists, whom
he once denounced as loudly as he now
denounces the republican party. He can
not say enough in honor of the abolition OF
slavery now. though time was when he
thought II a good thing to mob William
Lloyd Garrison. He was with Nc
Clellan in 1864, and declared the war
failure because II was made to back up
the emancipation proclamation. Se"ar"
and his .'irrepressible conflict were de-
nouDced with great vehemence. and
Chase, Summer, Wilson, John i. Hale,
Joshua Giddings and Thad Stevens were
condemned as unsafe and wicked politi-
clans All that is changed now, and the
abolition work Of the republican party
under these men is commended as Wig
orously rs it was then condemned. But
the party has gone on completing Its mis-
sion in the establishment Of equal rights,
while the guerillas have gone on lighting
1t as they fought its predecessors. What
ever they could do to cast discredit upon
il. TO divide it and defeat it they have
done and are doing. BY and by they will
commend the present course of the party
and condemn what it will be doing
hereafter. 1t is human nature, and the
party must stand it in the future as it has
stood it in the past. Let the guerillas
howl. and let republicans go on in the
path of duty

The Boston Advertiser says: The
Maine statutes direct that the votes cast
Mt state election. except those for gov
ernor, shall be canvassed by the
governor and council Governor Plais-
ted is fusionist. while the council is
republican. The question is agitated
already in Maine whether the rumors
mean anything which declare that the
governor. if he have reason to think there
are Irregularities. will refuse to agree
with the council, and thus there will be
brought about complications and general
unpleasantness. II seems hardly credi-
BILE, after Governor Garcelon's unhappy
experience, that the attempt will be made
to thwart the will of the people in the
probable event of a republican majority.
The circumstance that such suspicion is
entertained. shows that Governor Plaist-
ed and his followers are regarded with
but mild degree of respect. Political
larceny will not prosper in Maine this
year,

AS a matter Of enterprise, Memphis
should not fail to take advantage of the
fact that the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad will be opened for travel and
traffic in a day or two, to give the peo-
pie living along the line of the road
a cordial invitation to visit this city
at an early day. The new road opens
up rich field, which only waits to be
cultivated by Memphis merchants.
To this end it would be we'll to ar
range an entertainment Of some kind
for the exclusive beneftofth the visitors,
and to give them an opportunity
to enjoy our hospitalities. 1t would
be appreciated, and Memphis would
then be sure of fine trade, which ia
hers already by right. The new rail-
road managers will doubtless do their
full part toward giving the people
adjacent to their line a chance to
come here at cheap rate.

AN effort is to be made in Congress
to abolish the revenue tax on tobacco,
snuff, cigars and cigarettes. A bill was
introduced in the House ofRepresent
atives by Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
last Monday, to be placed on the cal
endar for the consideration of the
whole. Mr.. Kelley explained and
said that beginning with next session,
this will afford six months for popular
consideration and discussion of the
measure, and will give the tobacco
trade a year after its adoption, if it
shall be adopted, in which to adjust
itself to the new condition of things
Should the bill become law the loss to
the revenue in the calendar year Of
1884 would be, Mr.. Kelley says, about
$45, 100000. By that time, however,
he added, the unusual appropriation
called for by the arrears of pension act
will have been made, and the revenue
from tobacco can be dispensed with.

to turn from the error of your wav. I
have got no rock to throw at ANYBODY
! come here to ask forgiveness if /

Hawkins. Hawkins was judge wasn't
he? Here the speaker introduced
quite a long string Of anecdotes from
Plate, who was judge, to the present
day, embracing the action of corrupt
and inefficient judges of the various
potentates of the world. Speaking
OF the State debt question, he said he
was willing to accept settlement ON
q basis of 335. but as member of the
Legislature he had voted for 4O-4. Il
is very easy for me to indorse the 5O.3
and if | didn't fear to insult YOU /
might go to 50.4. What you want
with Savage is for him to bring a set of
men who can follow his doctrines. and
if he cannot bring you these men YOU
do not want him. We all agree that
we want to beat Hawkins, and | want

to run through in hot haste the OJ.3-

friend jackson. God forbid | cannot
afford to give up jackson. Now we
have three parties to deal with, and if
we cannot invent something to night
by which we can harmonize unon
something, so that wo can all stand
together we will have met in vain. Ny
policy is first, to save the people Of
Tennessee; second, to save the Democ-
racy of Tennessee; third, | would like
to do something for old man Savage.
SO let US have vote in this conven-
ton upon the 60 6 proposition, 50-4
and 333, II anybody wants it. Let US
pay the State debt proper and leave
the railroad land question for the
Supreme Court at Washington to shed
its light upon it.

Locomo1ive Engineers.

New YORK, June 2l.-0ne of the
most prominent railroad men in the
country said yesterday that he did not
look for strike of the locomotive
engineers, as nothing which looked
like such strike had come to his
knowledge. The Erie officials said
last evening that they were not aware
of any contemplated strike of the
locomotive engineers. The rumor Of
of a strike on the Pennsylvania road
was denied on good authority.
The freight handlers continue their
strike in this city and at neighboring
points. The Jersey Central company
has sixty men at work under protec-
ton. The Erie company has resumed
handling freight with one-third its
usual force, but expects to handle all of
its freight to-day.
