AFTER a long and honorable career
in public life Congressman John +.
House. of Clarksville, a man In good
standing with his PARTY at homo and
abroad. has announced bis purpose to
retire from the arena and become a
private citizen. He was born in Will
Hanson county, January, 1871,
and is therefore nearly itty-slx
years old. He graduated at
the Lebanon Law School in 1850, aud
has since continued to practice his
profession. His public career has
been one Of which he and his friends
may we'll feel proud. He was a mem
Der of the Tennessee Legislature in
1854; was Presidential Elector on
the Bell and Everett ticket in
1860; was a member of the Provisional
Congress of the Confederate States
from Tennessee; and at the close OF
his term in that body entered the
Confederate army and continued
therein until the close of the war,
when he was paroled at Columbus,
Mississippi, in June 1866. In 1868
he was a delegate to the National
Democratic Convention at New York,
which nominated Seymour and Blair;
he was a member of the State Con-
stitutional Convention in 1870, and
was member ofthe Forty-fourth Forty
fifth, Forty-sixth and Forty seventh
Congresses. At the last election he
received, as Democrat, 1851 votes,
against $3.50 votes for McLain, Re
publican, and 7SS votes for Brooks,
Greenback candidate. He has served
on various important committees and
acquitted himself with great credit.
A recent private letter, published
without his authority, in which he
took a very prom ounced stand in favor
Of General Bate and the regular
Democratic party, has provoked some
sharp criticism, but it does not affect
his standing aud influence in the
councils of the party.
