TIE PROHIRITIONI,STS.

The State Temperance Convention
was hcll at Nashville on the 2Oth ult.
in the Hall of Representatives, State
Capitol. DR.. II. NJ. Sears, of Carroll
county, was made permanent chair
man, and DR.. j. Braden, of Davidson,
secretary. Sixteen counties were rep
resented, by about seventy-fvc dele
gates. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That wn arc in full accord
with the National Prohibition party ia
its efforts TO suppress The liquor traffic.
That tive are in favor Of submitting to
the people, UDencumbcrcd with any
other question, a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting The manufacture
and rale of Intoxicating liquors as n
beverage.
Whereas, The Statc-credit wing of
the Democratic party has pledged itself
10 the support Of HE "four-mile law"
and have placed in nomination a candi
date for Governor who declares himself
in favor of prohibition, therefore,
Re7olyed, That the prohbitionists of
Tennessee decline at this time TO put in
nomination candidate for Governor.
=. That we commend the action of
the Statc-CrCd.t Democratic party in
bcldly advocating and supporting the
present prohibitory law of the State,
and congratulate it on the nomination
Of one who has proved himself such an
able advocate OF the temperance cause.
3, That, while for good reasons, we
neither endorse nor disGppIoye of the
action Of any convention heretofore
held on the State debt question; we
recommend TO the Temperance people
of the State the wisdom Of the policy
adopted by the Liquor Dealers Assoc
citation in supporting no party or can
drdUtc who does moi favor their inter
cets, and suggest that we individually
and collectively adopt similar policy,
and vote for none but openly avowed
Prohibiiionists.

ENFORCEMENT OF PROHiBl~
TION IN KANSAS.

Notwithstanding the conflicting re-
ports which come from Kansas re-
specting the enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law, there is no doubt but
that it is as well enforced as other
criminal laws outside of few cities.
A correspondent Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, who spent three months ia
Central and Southern Kansas, travel
ling the entire length Of the State
from Atchison on the Missouri River
10 the frontier, fifty miles west Of
Dodge City-visting county seats and
many of the larger towns-says. I
have had favorable opportunity Of
learning the workings of prohibition
in Kansas. The prohibitory law ia
enforced with fully as much yigor as
are other statutes. Many violators
of the law have been arraigned ber
fore the courts; numerous convic-
tions have occurred, with fines Of
500 for each offence, and costs often
amounting to $50 more; and even
where there has been a failure to COZ
vict, the liquor.seller has been kept
in hot water Of agitation and any,
iety. The results are most salutary.
Public sentiment in favor of the law
is increasing. Even journals indifI
ferent TO the principle advocate the
enforcement of the statute as law
abiding citizens. Twenty-Five min-
listers met recently at aa association
in Kansas. Twenty.three Of them
reported from a partial to an entire
success in the enforcement of pros
hibiIon in their respective towns.
The d!stillery at Topeka stopped
manufacturing in February, and its
owners are going to remove 1t to
license State. acknowledging that tue
business has become disagreeable,
dangerous and Improbable. The
president of the distillery company
is reported 10 have already said:
NEARLY one half Of the LIQUOR trade
has fallen off; we meet with constant
opposition, are hampered and hound
ed by temperance people, liable to
be closed up by the State authorities
and fined none of the first~class in-
surance companies will have anys
thing to to do with our property"

John r.. Beasley. the Greenback
candidate for Governor of this State
was charged by newspaper at
Dyresburg with being an unbeliever
in the existence of a GOO and in the
immortality of the soul. He replied
to the charge through the Memphis
Herald and defines his position On
the religious phase thus unexpected~
ly introduced into the canvass. He
denies that he is an infidel to the ex
tent of disbelieving in the existence
Of Deity, but frankly admits that
he takes no stock in the doctrine Of
immortality of the eoul for the rea-
SOD, that in his opinion, the Bible
teaches no such doctine. His theo>

feet his streng,h.-Eastern Seminal.

FROM TEXAS.
EDITORS DEMOCRAT:

/
We appreciate the opportunity to
give your readers another sketch
from the Lone Star State.
We suffered from 4 serious drouth
from the 10th Of June TO the llth
of July. Vegetation was about all
"parched TO DEATH the corn crop
was badly injured, wafer for stock
was getting very scarce, and the grass
on the prairie would have taken fire,
as in the Fall Of the year. But since
the eleventh of July we have not
only had some rain, more rain, and
most rain, but we have had great
torrents Of rain. And should il con-
tinuc to rain much longer, the cotton
crop will be greatly injured. 1t is
estimated that the corn crop, not
withstanding the drouth, will aver
age % or 80 bushels per acre. Wheat
and oats were damaged by
the rust, so the yield was not so good
as was expected before harvest. The
bow-worm is making its appearance.
Should they begin this early and be
very numerous, great destruction
will be done 10 the cotton crop Of this
country. The peach and grape crop
this year is very fine both in quanti-
ty. The continued wet weather and
hot sun has infested the country with
malaria, and hence bilious and in
termittent fever abound in many To-
calities, but it is not very fatal.
Politics is on a boom here now.
Gen. Weaver, the champion, and dis
tinguished leader Of the Greenback-
Labor party, passed through this
county not long since, making speech
es, and confirming his followers and
making many new converts to his
political faith. The General is a
man Of rare attainments; his speech
es were eloquent, forcible and i'm
pressiye. We were a little amused
at his apology for going to the Green
back party, lie said he "frst be-
longed to the Free Soilers; they fill
ed their mission and passed away.
He next belonged to the Republicans,
and they soon must die; and as there
was no difference between the Re-
publcans and the Democrats on the
finance question, he could not 90 to
the Democrats" lie said he was
like the young man who had two
swcethearts. lie called on orc to see
her TO church, but she had company,
so he called Oh the other, and she
had company; and so the young man
moved Off TO church alone. And soon
he was called on to pray. lie knelt
down and said, 20, Lord, l come TO
Thee this night because ! hovo no
where else to 60" That was his
reason for being a Grecnbackcr, be-
cause he had nowhere else to go.
The GrecnbacK party is rapidly
growing in Texas, and they seem to
be sanguine Of soon meeting with
success. John Ireland, Democrat,
and Wash Jones, will try their
strength before the people in Novcm-
Der, for Governor.
We heartily congratulate "Old
Blount' in her selection of county
officers. We believe them all to be
good and true men. Although we
are far away, yet we feel an interest
in the success Of our native county.
1t appears from the Loul0n county
convention that L, c. Houll is to
make another trip to Congress. Let
him go; he is tic right man in the
place, More anon.

BATE.

If some of the Readjuster organs
will give us some great idea of re-
form or progress that ever originat-
ed with the man whose name
heads this article, and prove that
he originated it, we will agree to
support him for Governor and
"scratch" his platform.
So far as our limited knowledge
extends, Bate has never, on any
occasion, originated an idea of any
kind. He is a great fellow to make
a spread eagle speech, and once in
a while peck a pin-fcaiher from the
tail ofthc aforesaid eagles tail, but
he never las, as yet, plucked a
full grown feather from the eagles
tail.
Bate is not now advocating any
reform in the government of the
people Of Tennessee. He prescribcs
no medicine that will heal the
lcprosy spots ON the body polite.
There is no relief to the people in
anything he. OF his Raadjustcr
supporters propose.
The Golden Text" Of Bate and
his Roadjuaters is, "Savc US from
Republican Rule" They give no
reason why they want TO be saved,
nor do they promise to better our
condition The only real reason
they have for electing Bate is, that
he was a General in The Confeder-
ate Army, belongs to thcChiyalry,
and hence he must be supported.
Whenever the Democratic party
is united, on a sound platform,
and advocates The necessary re-
forms in our government, and gets
out of the cid ruts, and quits using
the Union Democrats as the Re
publicans use "the man and broth
er," then it will be invincible. IT.
VIII never be 50 as long as it is run
10y the Chivalry mob and such
men as Bate.
