UNJUST DrscKImINATION.

The boilers have organized themselves
into a mutual admiration society, and IN
their meeting at GAINESVILLE on Saturday
they showed as much disposition to discrim-
mate in applauding the speakers as they do
in paying the State debt. The reports OF the
meeting announce that James E. Bailey re-
ceived ''uproarious applause" that Henry
Cooper was greeted with 'loud cheers" and
tremendous applause" that Senator jackson
was disturbed by 'two minutes vociferous
applause" "round alter round of applause"
and "a long shout of approval;" that even
Ed james drought the house down." But,
strange to say, that General Luke E.
Wright, of this city, the ablest man OF all
the speakers, is not reported as receiving a
single cheer-"nary wave" The Bate Demo-
Gratis are opposed to such dds
criminationsn Luke E. Wright is the
equal in ability of either Cooper,
Bailey, Jackson or james, and was entitled
to one Of the "two minutes vociferous ap-
plause" lavished upon Jackson, and por-
tien of the 'fuproarious applause" which the
organized claguers bestowed upon Bailey. In
deed, the reports of the GAINESVILLE meeting
has nauseated the people of Tennessee. II
was prearranged to magnify the meeting into
an importance it did not deserve. But, for
tunately, flaming headlines cannot defeat
Bate or make votes for RUSSELL. The people
of Tennessee have not been shaken in their
expectation of electing Bate by the "dis-
game OF brag and self-pufing
played by the boilers at Clarksville on last
SATURDAY.

1t will be impossible 10 make the river and
harbor bill an issue in the elections this fall
or in the next presidential election, as it
is not party measure, having been OPP
posed and favored by both Democrats and
Republicans. The veto was killed in the
House by vote of 122 to SO and in the Sem
ale by Al to 16. A very large proportion OF
the members of both houses we're either alb
sent or paired. The number of Republicans
voting in the affirmative, in the House, wss
sixty-fve, the number of Democrats fifty
seven; number of Republicans in the negative
thirty three, number of Democrats twenty
six. In the Senate nineteen Republicans
voted in the affirmative and twenty-five
Democrats. The negative vote was made ND
of thirteen Republicans and three Democrats.
In proportion to their numbers, the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans were about equally
divided in the House. In the Senate only
three Democrats voted to sustain the veto,
Bayard, Pendleton and Salisbury, leaving
that party on record as almost solidly in
favor of the bill. OF the Democratic votes
for the bill, the South furnished the major
part. In all, Democrats, Independents and
Republicans, the South gave ifty-six votes for
the bill and only six against. OF her Hfty-six
affirmative votes forty-6ve were Demo-

THE BOILERS AND THE REPURLI.
CANS.

Verify is it true that politics make strange
bed-fellows. With an impudence that is
supercilious the boilers arrogate to them
selves the embodiment of pure and uuadul-
terated Democracy. But in every part of
the State they do not hesitate to announce
tlr.t tlsey prefer tho vivctivn of uawkfIrs To
Bate, and as the canvass progresses the
excitement increases and the passions are
aroused, they will abandon RUSSELL and rally
to the support of Hawkins as the only al
tentative for defeating Bate. Nay, more;
we would not be surprised, before the close
of the canvass, TO see the boilers and the Re-
publicans in every county in the State
united on the same ca ndidates for the Leg
islature, with the view of defeating the re-
election of Senator Harris, and electing in
his place James E. Bailey, or William B.
Stokes, who has already announced himself
as candidate for the Senate. There is no
doubt such a scheme is on foot. The
boilers have no idea of electing RUSSELL, who
has been made candidate for the sole pur.
pose of electipg Hawkins. So soon as it is
made manifest that Fusssll will not receive
the Hequlslte Hunper oI NOtes 10 QeIeat Bate,
he will be abandoned for Hawkins. The
APPEAL predicIs-aud we wish our readers
to mark the prediction-that in most of the
counties the Republicans and the boilers
will unite in support of the same ticket for
the Legislature. The following from the
Coyington Cal foreshadows this alliance:
It is rumored that the Republicans and the hand
ful of oolters in the county will combine in sup
port OF candidate for the legislature That thew
viii either nominate q High-tax bolter who viii
be supported by the Republicans, or a white Re

safe TO say that Upton, with her 800 to 500
Oemoclauc majority, VIII be represented in the
next 1egislAture by sound Democrat and true
representative OF their wishes. The alliance viii

THE TEMPERANCE BOOM
I'm the West Causing Much Uneasine<s
Among the Liquor Men.

CHICAGO, August S.-John Finch, who was
one of the most earnest advocates of prohibit
ton in Iowa, and who has lately been lee
turing iii his own State, Nebraska, on the
same subject, says the people are working 10
secure the submission of constitutional
amendment prohibiting the sale or manufac-
ture of liquors for drinking purposes. They
are making thorough canvass, with good
chances of success. If the amendment is
submitted it will carry, without doubt, by
a large majority. Interviews with leading
anti-prohibitionists and liquor men in Chi
cago show that they view with some alarm
the inroads of the temperance advocates in
adjoining States, and that they are formed
in a compact body and intend to fight the
movement in Illinois, from its inception,
with money, votes and political and per-
sonal influence. They generally advocate
high licenses as a means of suppressing dog
geries and disreputable saloons. The German
temperance element have called a German
temperance convention in this city for Au-
gust 18th, and have elected TWO defegates TO
represent them in the national temperance
convention horo August 02a-------

A STORY OF UPPER EGYPT.
The DespOtism of the Khedive-An
Arabian Slave Girls Marriage.


1t is not always cafe for the governor of
province to reside among the people whom
he has plundered and oppressed, and whose
families he had entered with the lust of that
most loathsome of all creatures, the Turkish
libertine. 1t also not unfrequently happens
that the governors are nothing but common
asssssins, who are called upon to execute the
summary and secret vengeance of some min
lister or favorite at court of whom they stand
in awe. case that occurred while 4 CORE
spondent was in the upper country is directly
10 the point. A Turkish official OF high
vorite of the khedive at Cairo, for they had
been educated together in France This
official was, therefore, great deal around
the palace, and it occurred to the khedive's
mother that she would like TO marry off a
fayorite child of the harem to a gallant
officer in receipt OF large pay. The hey
was summoned by the khedive and told that
his mother had found him a Wife-a WON
drous creature. OF course in the East such
an intimation to a subordinate is simply a
command; yet while the hey submitted he
secretly chafed at what he considered a
gross imposition upon 3 friend, Turk
ish aristocrat, and an officer accustomed
to European liberties and customs. The
marriage took place and was n grand Jete,
costing MANY thousand dollars. OF course
the hey had never looked upon her face I'M
til after the nuptial knot was tied, and when
he did neither the countenance nor the
owner thereof was to mis- liking. Two years
went by and the khedive's mother perceived
that the young wife was slowly pining away.
At last persistent inquiry made the girl dis

mony the beg had declined to treat her as

tigresa-hastenedt 10 his highness and demand

Immediately seized, conveyed by a guard
1900 miles 10 the Soudan, and upon his ar
rival the governor-general was ordered to
strangle him; but the encouragement hap
pened to be the lifelong friend of the con-
demned man, and allowed him 10 live. Six
different orders were sent TO kill him, but
not one Of them was obeysd. The writer
was the guest of this gentleman in the Sou
dan for over FIVE months, and these facts
came from his own lips. A better edu-
Gated man one seldom finds in the worlds

Hugo, About, Schiller, Goethe, Heine, Irv-
ing, DeTocqueville, and others. He finally
joined caravans with the writer on a journey
of $500 piles to Cairo, and returned to
to become governor general in

the Federal-ring Republicans in support of
the sixty-and-six bill will force union of
the Democrats and Low-tax Republicans
Indeed, there is nothing to prevent any man
in Shelby county opposed to the sixty.and-
six bill passed in contemptuous defiance of
the popular protest of the people, from
uniting in support of the same ticket for
governor, for Congress and the Legislature.
They are united in common opposition to
a stupendous fraud and they should have a
common cause on the day of election. There
should be no difficulty in harmonizing the
two elements in opposition TO the sixty-and-
six outrage upon the people for an effective
fall campaign. The two thousand Republi-
cans who cast their votes on Thursday last
against the sixty-and-six bill have shown
their fidelity to a principle by their works.
They have raised the standard of revolt
against the overseers who have 30 long
cracked the party whip over their backs in
order that they could show to the official
authorities at Washington that they
owned the colored voters of Shell
by county and were therefore wor-
thy OF government hire. The colored
Republicans of the South will be reluctant
to vote against the Republican party in
presidential election, but sInce they have
been denied their proportionate share of the
offices in local elections, they intend in the
future 10 vote without regard to the dictation
of the Federal ring which uses them to Be-
cure places of honor and profit which of
right belong TO those who furnish the Repub-
lican vote. An effort will be made to coax
back into the Republican party the delegates
who were kicked 30 spitefully and contemp-
tuously out of the State convention last
spring, and who were SO persistently insulted
during the recent county elections. But the
Low-tax Republicans of Shelby county
have blottsd froIa-ths -IaZioon the word
surrender. They are determined not to be
bought nor bullied from their impregnable
vantage ground. A nucleus has been formed
around which will cluster all who are dis
gusted with the rule OF the Federal ring.
Amidst contumely and insult the Republi-
cans of Shelby county hostile to Hawkins
and his sixty and-six bill, have stood by their
banner and it is hoped in the November cleo
ton they will make common cause with all
who oppose the si1ty-and-six iniquity.

CHURCH SCANDAL.
The Pastor OF Christian Church
Charged with immoral Conduct,

CLEVELAND, August 8.-The Repository, OF
Canton, publishes an article in which charges
of unministerial conduct are made against
the Rev. @. ID. Henselmau, pastor OF the
Canton Christian church. The charges were
made by three women connected with the
church before the church officers in affidavits,
and embrace the following specifications:
The first says that Henseiman came to her
house about 8 o'clock in the evening of the
same week her husband was buried. She
was at neighbours house, but saw him go
up the path to her house. Going home she
admitted him, saying, Good evening" He
put his arm around her, drew her to him,
and kissed her, and they walked out to the
kitchen. This action on his part, she says,
she took as an evidence of sympathy. When
he was leaving he embraced her and kissed
her several times. She was go much astonished
that she did not realized what had occurred
until he had left. The second says that
Mr.. Henselman came TO her house on the
10th of June to have her serve on a commit
tee for fixing the uphoistering of the church.
When he was departing she went into the
garden 10 cut some flowers to send 10 his
wife. As she gave them to him he made two
attempte TO pull her up to him. She resisted
him and rebuked him. He asked her to say
nothing about it, repeating his request sew
eral times. He said he had kissed women
and Thought there was nothing wrong in it.
The third says that as Henselman entered
the door he threw his arm around her SO
closely that she could not get away. He
walked across the room carrying her. When
he let go she gave him seat and took one
herself at the opposite side of the room.
They sat thus for come time talking, she be-
ing afraid TO move lest he would touch her,
although she had such confidence in him
that she did not attribute any wrong motive
to his actions. When he started TO leave
she sat still, thinking that if she did 30 he
would not touch her. but with thought of
the years he had spent in the ministry, and
that she had nothing to fear from him, she
walked to the door. He turned back, and
clasping her in his srms, kissed her, not
her struggles TO get away, say
ing, 'There, if You never do anything worse
tn an that"
The church officers have had the matter in
hand, but no definite action has been taken.
Mr.. Henselman has received through the
postoffice two letters, of which the following
are copies:
The Rev. Henselman:
SrR-T do not care TO m axe this trouble OF
ours public, unless obliged TO, 80 If you viii
psy me 5000 we will let the matter drop.
The Rev. Henselman:
SIR.-I wrote you what would settle the
trouble between you and my wife, and you
had better accept it without delay. If not
you will see trouble. Three hundred dollars
will settle the whole thing, and if you do not,
you may get bullet in your - heart in
IN unsupported hour. This will be the last
ime. You may lose more than you think.

There is nothing so revolving to free
people as the idea of boss rule, and they
are determined to free themselves from
dictation and the dictators. Only two years
ago Senator Conkling sat in his seat in
the United States Senate with as much
power as a sceptered king. But now he
looks as lonely as a monarch in exile.
There is none so poor a. to do him reverence.
The fats of the two Camerons in Pennsylvs-
MIA short time since we're as memorable as
the laws OF the Modes and Persians. But
now the people take malicious delight in
opposing everything the Camerons favor.
The scepter has departed, and so great is the
prejudice against the dethroned dictators
that people ask what they are for and take
the other side, knowing that ii is right to
oppose them in all things. This uprising of the
people has extended into little Delaware, and
there is disposition to put down the rule OF
the Bayards and the Saulsburys, upon the
assumption that they have become bosses.
Indeed, there is fear that the people will rush
from one extreme to another, and that SO
soon as a man secures the confidence of the
people ne will be regarded as boss and
straightway the cry will go forth, "DoWn
with himp The career of Malone as a
boss has ended in shame and igno-
miny. And now the colored people
of the South have resolved to exterminste

shave not been arranged for" look over at
Virginia and see that Republicanism has
fallen into disrepute there, and that their
party has been sent to coventry as if in dis
grace. Until lately no Republican politi- |
clan in Virginia dared to say his soul was
his own, Malone was 30 completely master
of the situation. And they have had to |
submit 10 him without being allowed the |
poor privilege of murmuring. Here in
Memphis the colored people have arrayed |
the mselves against the bosses, and they are /
determined no longer TO tamely bow their
heads in humble submission to the AFRO
gance of revenue bosses who fatten on the /
spoils of Office and do nothing but wear fine
clothes and Issue orders to the negroes as to
how they shall vote in every election. The /
revolt of the blacks against the white bosses /
OF the South has become general, and they
will Tree themselves from their masters Just
as the people everywhere are freeing them
selves from the rule OF bosses. Thus far the |
blacks in the South have shown pluck and
m aHhood, and a few doses of independent
voting viii induce the administration al
Washington to give few of the offices in
The South to the negroes who do the voting
instead of the few whites who use the blacks
TO secure office.

THE GAME OF BRAG.

According to the RUSSELL "blow-hards" the
meeting al ClarksvIlle was just enormous,
and the speeches eclipsed all eloquenee Of
the past and present. Indeed, one would be-
lieve from the reports sent out from the
"penny-whistles" of the boilers, that a new
era in craftsmanship and stump oratory had
dawned on the world. Senator Jackson
seems to have been the laurel crowned. The
laurel wreath is more easily won than the
oak chaplet. The story OF his superb oratory
at GAINESVILLE will, however, be surprise
an agreeable one, of course TO this COM
munity, where his mesger speech exhibited
80 often painful struggle for the right loca-
ton OF noun, verb and pronoun, TO say moth
ing of the adjectives. AT that time he might
have said truthfully what Mark Anthony ex-
pressed of himself with mock modesty: II am
no orator as Brutus is" Alackaday! how
the senatorial toga develops long-hidden

TRISTRAM AND IsEULT.

There was bower beyond mans eye more fair
Than ever summer dews and sunniest air
Fed full with rest and radiance till the boughs
Had wrought q roof a. for holier house
Than aught save love might breathe in fairer far
Than keeps the sweet light back of moon and star
From high kings chambers; there might love and
sleep
Divide for joy the darkling hours and keep
With amorous alienation of sweet strife
The soft and secret ways of death and life
Made smooth for pleasures feet TO rest and run
Even from the moondawn to the hndling sun,
Made bright for passions feet to run and rest
Between the midnight's and the mornings breast,
Where hardly though her happy head lie down
1t may forget the hour that wove its crown;
Where hardly though her joyous limbs be laid
They may forget the mirth that midnight made,
And thither. ere sweet night had slain sweet day,
Iseult and Tristram took their wandering way.
