II we make a republican victory
possible in Tennessee under the vain
hope that they will carry out the state
credit principles, we may find ourselves
sadly left in the end. They are doing
exactly the opposite in Virginia. They
are not sincere in Tennessee, but are
doing it solely to split their oppo nents
and gain control. The democratic
party is going to attend to this matter
in the end and we had better stick to
it and be in at the wake. The re-
publicans are as likely to take an op-
posite shoot when it becomes necessary
for them to do so to win, and to aid
them now is simply to give them power
to do exactly what we do not wish done.
Gen. Bate made ringing speech at
Jackson last Wednesday, the first gun
of the campaign. 1t indicated the drift
that the canvass is to take. There il TO
be no harshness towards the boilers,
but he makes clear exposition of the
facts and figures that conclusively put
them in the wrong. He handles the re-
publican party vigorously and shows
up its corruptions and its Insincerity in
the debt matter. He shows by care
fully compiled figures that the state
debt proper with accrued interest to lst
January, 1888, is $685. 100. Add to
this Mrs. Folks bonds, the educational
and charity bonds, and the amount will
reach toward four millions. That fig
ure can now be taken as covering the
Gen. Bate was received with
old-time enthusiasm and the opening
augures we'll for the future.

Mr.. Doak calling Col. COlyar a fossil,
moss-balck, antiquated fogy is rich
Col. Colyar is one of the most notori-
ously progressive men of the age. He
has amassed a fortune for himself by
his daring ventures into new fields OF
southern industries aud he has urged
his views upon such matters with \
force OF wisdom rarely equalled. He
has differed with Mr.. Doak on the debt
question and Is therefore a fossil. Col.
COlyar has gone into the fields OF ma
terial progress and has reaped nightly
for himself and blazed the way for
Others. He has gotten behind and
pushed and then hitched himself in the
traces and pulled, and by ali and every
means and argument urged the country
forward, while Mr.. Doak sat down and
theorized, with sharp pencil, it is true,
but without effect on actual progress.
Now, whS is the fossil9 Friend, rub |
the moss from thine own back before
scraping at thy neighbours.

The Southern Oultlvator.

The July number of this popular and
well established Agricultural Journal
has been received.
II should be a matter of pride with
our southern farmers to sustain The
CultiVRtor, because il is their represen-
tRtive, published alone in their interest,
and Is by far the neatest, most reliable
and best filed Agricultural publication
in the south. The publishers are GER
tainly spending large sums of money,
in making il the best of all journals OF
like kind, judging from the fine paper
used, the handsome engravings that
adorn its columns and from the men OF
brains employed as contributors.
IL Is sold for the low price OF $3.50
per annum.

The democracy of Tennessee, in stat
convention assembled, declare:
L. That the democrats of Tennessee
with their majority of the popular vote
are the rightful guardians Of the honor
and good name OF the state, and thai
they willingly accept the duty ano
responsibility of preserving them from
taiot or suspicion, and that 1t is equally
their right and duty to settle its indebt-
edness.
3. That while we accord to all an
honest difference of opinion, we regard
the enactment of the 6O-3-4-0-6 as I'M
wise, because it is, in our opinion, not
in accord with the views of the people
2. That there is portien OF the state
debt, such as the bonds issued for the
building of our capitol, for the pur-
chase Of the Hermitage, etc., and COM
monty known as the state debt proper,
with accrued interest, the validity OF
which has never been disputed by any
portion of our party, we consider as a
valid and sacred obligation of the state,
and favor the payment OF the same In
full, less war interest.
d. That we tender to our creditors a
settlement of the remainder of the state
debt by paying one-half the principal
and accrued interest by issuing the

all bonds held on the first day OF Janu-
airy, 1882, by educational, charitable and
literary institutions.

was to make coupons receivable for
taxes, and this we forever oppose.
g. That the democratic party is opposed
70 all unequal taxation upon the mer-
camille and manufacturing interests, or
any other person In Tennessee.
9. That we are unalterably opposed
to every species OF monopoly as destruc-
tive of liberty and the best interest of
the people, and to this end we favor the
establishment of a commission, the OBJ
iect OF which shall be to regulate the
tariffs charged by the railroads Of the
state SO as to put an end to the unjust
discrimination by said roads in favor OF
through as against local freights, and
we are in favor of such q system OF tax
alton as Will force rallrOaus cOnpahies
to pay their just proportion of the taxes
OF the state, according to the real value
of their property.
10. That we favor the time honOred
doctrine of instruction and recognize
the right of the people at oil times and
upon all questions to communicate their
views to their representatives.
IL. That we favor an efficient public
school system, and the liberal educa-
ton OF all the children of the state.
II. We arraign the republican party
for It's Yenality and corruption in the
OF the state and federal
and for its total disregard
of all civil service reform and do here
by declare our unqualified opposition
TO the practice OF said party in levying
upon the employees OF the government
q tax for political purposes.

The AutODsy.

The official report of the experts
appointed to make post morton
examination of the body of Charles
j. Guiteau appeared in the press
dispatches on the 9th. From it we
take the following:
Subtitle right parietal bone
was slightly fattened over a space
about two inches square, just back
of the front parietal suture and to
the right of the interparietal. There
was slight, flattened elevation in
the corresponding internal surface
of the calvaria. The frontal suture
was obliterated; others quite dis
tinct. A number of pacchionion de-
pressions were observed near the
groove for the longitudinal sinus
In thickness the skull presented
nothing remarkable.
Membranes of the brain-The
dura mater was firmly adherent to
the anterior portion of the calvaria,
in the vicinity of the longitudinal
sinus. There were adhesions of the
dura also to the base Of the skull.
They were quite firm, and situated
in the several foss9, and most mark
ed in the deeper part of the fosse,
where also there were small patches,
abruptly limited, of immovable ar
borescent congestion, with, however,
no attendant thickening, or pig
-mentation. This stagnation was
again most marked in the left an
terror and middle foss@. There
was no congestion of the dura, e1-
cept at points noted. The dura
and pia mater were adherent to
each other and to the brain on both
sides along a limited portion of the
longitudinal assure, in the vicinity
of the pacchionian granulations.
The dura was slightly thickened
along the longitudinal sinus. 1t
was also slightly thickened and
and Opaque along a portion of the
line of the middle meningeal artery
on each side The arachnoid of
the upper convexity of the brain
presented in many places where it
covered the sulci, small patches of
thickening and opacity; elsewhere
it was normal. The pia mater was
anamic anteriorly. Posteriorly
there was slight hypastasis.
The tissures-The assures gener-
ally presented considerable depth
in many places, as in the right ifs
sure of the Rolando, amounting to
even-eights of an inch. The right
assure of the Sylvius was typical;
the left was separated from the first
temporal assure by a slight bridge
deeply situated. The right fissnre
of the Rolando did not connect with
the assure of Sylvius; the left was
only by a small bridge
deeply situated. Both were sepa-
rated from the longitudinal assure.
The first frontal assure on the
right side was not connected with
that of the Rolando, but at the
posterior was crossed by a seconda-
ry assure.
There wasn't much else the mat
ter with his mentals organs, and
who would suppose for a moment
that the few disarrangements of
the brain we mentioned could have
the slightest effect upon his sanity? |
The doctors noticed "a considera-
Bile quantity of dark blood ran out
Of the heart in the separation of
The heart and lungs" but were pur-
;uaded that this was not the imme-
liate cause of death.

The European War.

The American.
Certain war is the intelligence
now from the Mediterranean. The
dispatches this morning announce
that unless Turkey puts a stop to
the instruction in Egypt, England
will at once take active measures to
do this herself by armed invasion of
Egypt. For the benefit of those
who may not have followed the dis
patches on this subject-volumi-
nous though they have been for sew
eral months-nor the editorial COM
ment attending their publication, it
may be briefly stated that Egypt,
who has heretofore acknowledged
the suzeraignty of the Porte, that is,
Turkey, is in state of internal dis
order, arising from causes bearing
about the same relation to Turkey
as the affairs of Ireland bear to Eng
land. She is now about to make an
effort to reinvigorate her dormant
force, and assert an independent
government. The Porte having
been in no position to check the
current of events that have led up
to this, is now namely a witness to
its own disgrace. The compact be-
tween Turkey and England being
therefore broken, it becomes neces-
sary for England to decide the atti-
tude of Egypt towards herself, owing
to her large interest and ownership
in the Suez canal, the quiet enjoy
ment of whose privileges necessarily
demand that there shall exist no
obstruction in the Mediterranean,
either in the shape of toll or other
wise, to the freedom of England's
commerce. Englanl's interest be-
ing paramount to the interest any
other one nation has in this passage,
it is she who must decide Egypt's |
fate. That other nations of Europe
are involved in this matter must |
not, however, be forgotten. France,
owing to her actual possessions in
Tunis, where she has but lately been
ut war for the preservation of her
rights, Italy, Spain and Turkey for
and private reasons too
for explanation here, and
Russia from a reason of very grave
import, inasmuch as she is in a state
Of rivalry with England for the
possession of India, the one being
N possession of access through the
interior, the other controlling the
great Suez canal. To preserve the
passage through this canal England
5 about to go to war. Whether it
will involve the other nations of
europe has yet to be determined by
he course of events. BY good !
it may possibly end with the
,unishment of Egypt by England
nd her quietly taking possession of S
hat country, but owing TO the de- t
ided improbability that Europe O
7ill submit TO this, general war is {
imminent. Those who care to follow r
Is course will be fully supplied with 4
very detail connected with develop /
lents up to the present time. L
1t is certainly question no per 1
on can afford to be ignorant upon. 9

A thunderbolt was thrown into the

now the boys are at it again.

The Platform.

The boilers lay great stress upon the
statements Of a great many persons
and papers that the platform does not
meet their individuals views. We did
not expect it to meet our exact wishes
and neither did any of those who went
ion. The very fact that it does not
please many people in ali its parts is
evidence that there is a comprom Use of
opinion. 1t gives no man all he wants,
but it strikes midway between all our
views, giving to some here and to 9TH
ers there, and thus as was intended it
is compromise between various opin-
ions. We have no hesitation in saying
that we would have made it otherwise,
but that is not saying that we do not
yield to it. We started in, like all those
who are saying they would have made
it otherwise, to get it as nearly as
possible to suit us, and allow others to
get it to accord with their views as
nearly az they could, and thus was
evolved compromise, and the fact that
it does not entirely suit either is evil
dence that it partakes of both, and thus
it is a comprOmise-thev very thing We
started in for. We do not believe yet
that some of it was wisely done, but
until it is undOne in regular way it is
the duty of democrats to stand by their
party and their promises to be con-
trolled by the majority. We do not liz
tend to scratch. Whenever we make
up our minds to break away wen
scratch the whole business. Scratching
is worse than boiling. Stand up to your
fodder, democrats, and it you don't like
the diet, wait until the next course is |
brought on in regular way. If you
will not eat, get up from the table and |
make room for another and stronger
stomach.

Congressman Moore (republican) OF
Memphis in an interview stated that
the republicans would make gain OF
six or eight congressman. When asked
how, he said by the assistance OF the
high-tax democrats. One OF the
speakers at the Maxwell House Monday
night said he'd rather see Hawkins
elected than Bate. What wonder is ii
that the operator at Nashville called
the Boilers the Republican Aid Society ?
We do not believe that is their prime
intention, except few, bnt that will be
the effect. None of the speeches In the

rule. Every shaft was aimed at de-

like a mad buH while preaching to

Mormons must carry out their

that he and they must cling to
polygamy ''in spite of any human
