WE give on our first page, this
week, short synopsis of the mas
terly speech of Senator Jackson de-
livered at Erin last Saturday. 1t
should be read and given calm
thought by every Democrat in the
State. The arguments therein adj
vanced for maintaining the present
settlement of the State debt cannot
be answered.

SENATOR HARRIS in his speeches
asserts that he is Il State Credit man
and personally favOrs the present
settlement. Then why not have
the maniiness to uphold it, instead
of bowling to a shOrt-lived popular
clamor and sacrificing his honest
convictions? Such a course may
place him back in the United States
Senate, but we hardly think so.

OF late there has been more or
less controversy as to who is the
greatest amusement caterer in the
world, and the result has been to
point out w. w. Cole as the one
great Caesar of the Show Kingdom,
and his recent successful tour in
foreign lands, and triumphant re-
turn to America, after Il journey of
over $4,000 miles by land and sea
seems sufficient to warrant this mill
lion rendered verdict. Mr.. Cole
has recently added to his mammoth
circus, menagerie of trained ami
mails and great congress of wonders,
all the strange and striking features
possible to discover during his re-
cent tour of the world, and it is
now safe to say that over $4,000, 900
is represented III his gigantic COM
bination which is replete in all its
appointments and beyond all reas-
enable doubt the grandest amuse-
ment enterprise on earth. In order
to deviate entirely from the usual
routine an enormous theatre stage
is erected and used for the purpose
of introducing a series of perform
ances never before seen under cam
vas. A $4,000 troupe of trick stall
lions is one of the novelties. These
Veritable animal actors have been
trained to q degree of excellence
which dwarf to insignificance all
previous displays of equine educa-
ton. A performing Spanish Bull
is also introduced into the arena,
and executes number of feats that
are truly remarkable. A troupe of
Maorie war-dancers and real Ara
bian athletics will be seen. Not
less than one hundred famous ar
lists will vie with each other for
public honors and none but bare
back eQuestrians are employed.
One of the most thrilling sensations
is troupe of aerial bicycle riders,
who hazard life and limb upon q
single cobweb wire stretched from
end to end of the vast canvas, and
this they travel with a bicycle while
they perform number OF incredi-
BILE and daring feats- Rival riders,
gymnasts, and aerialists are intro
duced simultaneously, thus adding
zest and fire to the performance.
In the menagerie will be seen the
largest and best collection of rare
animals ever owned or transported
by any organization. The entire
show will visit GAINESVILLE, Friday,
Sept. 22d, and we opine that IL will
produce lasting Impression by its
extreme immensely. .

THE GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE calls
sold man Wins, of the Athens
Post" an "an-te-di-lu- vian." Moth
ing less than words of five syllables
will suffice the average rural rooster
in an emergency. Why didn't you
show your journalistic training by
just calling "the old man" an "idi-
OF" thus economizing space and
time and avoiding the necessity Of
reference by your readers to remote
autographed authority?-Athe
Post.
We see from the Post that old
man Sam was out of town at the
time we branded him with the OPP
probrious(?) epithet OF 'antedilu-
vian." Had we known we were
replying to his substitute, we
certainly should have shown our
Journalistic training" by using his
own appropriate suggestion.

ACCORDING to the Bate organs,
at every appointment so far, be-
tween Harris and Jackson, the lat
ter has been literally demolished, !"
"flayed alive and his skin hung up
on q bush TO dry" &C., &c. And
yet somehow, at every appointment,
the Junior Senator comes up fresh
and smiling. According to these
truth.torturers, Jackson's capacity
to receive punishment would make
Tug Wilson ashamed of himself.

IN 1877, when Senator Harris had
a tenure of Office which could not
be disturbed for six long years, he
urged the acceptance by the Legis-
lature of the COS proposition of the
bondholders. He did not stop then
to enquire whether the majority of
the Democrats favored the PROPOSE
ton, but he spoke from the stand
point of the statesman who saw
that the public interests demanded,
and that public honor required, g.
prompt settlement on the terms
agreed upon by the creditors. In
1882, when Senator Harris is cam
didate for reelection, he finds it
convenient to place himself on what
he supposes is the majority side,
and urges the Reputation of set
Element of the debt at 60-3-4-5-6, al
ready made between the State and
her creditors. He no longer speaks
as the statesman, but as the polite
ian who seeks an Office and who
courts the popular favor.-NastUitle

ABOUT ninety or a hundred of our
citizens went to Erin last Saturday
to hear the joint discussion of the
questions at issue in the cam
vass, between our United States
Senators Jackson aud Harris. The
day was cloudy and threatening
rain, which doubtless had effect to
keep good many away who
would otherwise have attended.
Those present numbered probably
400 people, made up of all political
creeds, but the speakers were list
ened to with close attention. Sena-
tor Jackson spoke first, synopsis
of whose speech we give on our first
page. Senator Harris replied, ma
king substantially the same speech
he made here on Thursday of last
week, going off after national poll
tics and claiming that the State
debt was subordinate question.
He attempted to trip Jackson by
attacking his record for consistency.
Both the Senators made good
speeches, from their respective
standpOints, but we do not think
those present were influenced one
way or the other.

A CARD FROM Dr.. WRIGHT.


EDITOR Dear Sir
/ find it currently reported on the
streets that am convert to the
Bate candidacy and platform, and,
especially, it is said, that / intend
voting for Genl Butte.
/ am not conceited enough to sup
pose that either my opinions or in
tentions have any influence on those
OF my fellow citizens, but / think it
possible that some of the old readers
of the CHRONICLE might care to
know the sentiments OF it's former
editor.
I presume that the rumor arose
from some hasty expressions 1 used
at Erin last Saturday. l went 10
that place for the one purpose of as
certaining whether Senator Jackson
had really expressed his willingness
to advocate the repeal of the present
settlement of the State debt under
any circumstances. Col. House had
charged him with having done so
on the Friday before, and thought
there must be some mistake about
it. / found however that Oh his
own admission it was true. In ref
erence to this decision l lamented
as a most unfortunate step the selec-
ton of two gentlemen who had ex-
pressed this idea, one for chairman
of our first meeting in Nashville,
the other as one of our campaign
speakers.
That this should be considered as
an indication of change in my views
is strange, as my objection to the
two gentlemen was that they had
not been sufficiently decided and
uncompromising in maintaining
those views.
1t is only justice to Senator Jack
son to say that he established his
consistency in the matter by point
ing out that, when he wrote and
advocated the unfortunate resoIu-
ton, the new bonds had not been
taken, and that there is marked
difference in the relative position OF
the State and its creditors before
and after the funding process l
accord to him the point OF consist
ency, but regret that at any period
he should have consented under
any circumstances to disturb the
present settlement.
l also expressed the opinion at
Erin (and 1 suppose this is the ORR
gin of the report that l Was going
to vote for Bate that the candidacy
of Mr.. RUSSELL was likely to be
rather a hindrance than an aid to
our county candidates for the Legis
lature. This opinion | derived, not
from anything said in the debate,
but from private conversation with
Il good many of the citizens of
Houston county, representing all
shades of opinion. think the cleo
ton of State Credit Legislature of
UNNECESSARILY greater Importance
than the gubernatOrial contest, but
| shall vote for Mr.. RUSSELL if his
name is before the people in No
nor would l consent to its
even If he and the rest
of the party were willing, unless
General Bate should previously
pledge himself not to veto any APP
for the payment of in
terest on the debt as now settled, or
as settled in any way by the incom-
ing Legislature.
My opinions regarding the State
debt are none of them changed, and,
if l differ from other members of |
my party, tits not on the principles,
but the best way Of carrying them
out. DANIEL +. WRIGHT.

THE Nashville American has
again changed and once more sup
ports Gen. Bate for Governor, but
scratches his platform" like the
very old Harry. The reason why,
is this. A few weeks ago Col. Col
var and other stockholders sold the
paper to a company of gentlemen
who were Democrats and saw fit to
support Russell and the Democratic
ticket, They failed to pay the pur-
chase money and Col. Colyar took
his paper back. That's all; just a
small "business transaction" See?
Can this statement penetrate the
small, gray matter beneath the
Uranium of those vacuous individu-
ais who are disposed to jollify over
the "fop" of the American.

WOMAE'S SYMPATHY.

In the present heated condition
of political affairs in the State, when
mems minds and feelings are
wrought up to the highest pitch of
political excitement and every ener-
gy of their minds, body and souls
are being brought to bear in an ear
nest endeavor to find some common,
permanent solution for the trOub-
lOuS question Of the hour, ii is but
natural that women too should feel
an interest in the all-abSOrbing sub
iect and give voice to their senti-
mentS. We are glad to see them
brave enough to do so and the
CHRONICLE shall always be open
to them as medium through which
to express their honest convictions
on this question which, we are
proud to see, is beginning to deeply
enlist their interest and sympathy.
Notwithstanding the Lords of
Creation" have arrOgantly assumed
that they alone should deal with it,
we are in favor of giving the gen.
tier sex a say 50 in the matter,
whether it be "the poor blind girl
of Lawrence" or the brilliant, caus-
tic satirist, who is known to wider
fame and our own appreciative
reading public under the lacOnic
nom de plane OF rs. M. A. c."
We are glad to know the women
of Tennessee are on our side in this
grand contest for the maintenance
of our good name and public faith.
We are pleased to see SO many of
them attend the public discussions
of the question and feel doubly as
sured Of the right and justice of our
cause when we see them returning
arrayed on the side of State Credit. |
We have lately published several
contributions from ladies expressive
of the noble sentiments they enter
tain in regard to the heroic strug-
gle of the sky-blue Democracy in
this fight. The following patriotic |
sentiment for one of our gallant |
chieftains, came to us by post day |
or so ago:

true Democracy. That man was
Joseph II. Russell.
