Mr., Tilden.
(FRoM THE BUFFALO CoURtER.)

NEw YoRK, ,April l3.--Thc talk about
Mr.. Tilden's running for Gavcrues'
next fall is all on one side. None of
1t is heard among Mr.. Tildcn's friends.
His enemies seem to think they can
blacken him a little more by saying
he is still alive. 1t is not very long
since they tried to make every one
believe he was dead. Their next dis
covery may lie that he has thrown off
twenty or thirty years and again be-
come an active man In middle life.
There is no telling to what absurdiiy
in that line their fears and malice
may lead. When Jumbo ratified the
chains put on his feet at Madison
Square Garden and made them fy like
y whip-lash, the crowd Of spectators
fell back with Il rush in a state of
"scare" that was very much like a
panic. Any mention Of Mr.. Tilden's
name seems 70 have the same effect
on the Tammany- Republican allies
that the rattle of Jmnbo's chains had
Oh the crowd that heard 1t. Look
out, the elephants breaking loose" Is
the cry all round. Such OF Mr., I'll.
dcu'S friends as give any attention 10
the talk Say it is mere trash. Instead
of working for tho GOverRVrship again,
they add, he would probably refuse
1t cvcA If the whole party made liM
an offer of it. He has given all the
service in that way that he owes, and
no more need he expected. The re-
pose of private life suits him better at
present than anything else, and his
mind is made up not to be drawn ont
OF it TO enter anOthcr contest for what
might be called secoDd-ciass prize
which he had already won. "Mr. Til
den is not now Ia politics" one of
these friends remarked few days
ago, "and all the talk about him can't
bring him In. Should he enter again
| ut any time, 1t certainly will not he
because Lis enemies keep up chatter

Call for 8 ate Democratic Con
ventiOn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April Is, 1882
In obedience to the instructions Of our
respective committees we hereby call a
convention of the Democratic party, to
assemble in the hall OF the House of
Representatives, In the city of Nash
vile, on Tuesday, the 10Th day of June,
1882, at IL NJ, for the purpose of nonii-
nating candidate for Governor and
the transacting Of such other business
as may properly come before il. We
have no power to direct the action of
the Democfacyin the selection Of their
delegates, but, in view of antecedents
resulting ia this joint call, IL may not
be improper Ia us to express the hope
that the Democrats in the various coun.
ties, in their primary meetings, will
take such steps and precautions In Sc
lecting delegates as will secure Demo
cratic unity and harmony.

on the snbject. His interest in the af-
fairs of the country Is as active as
ever, but 1t does not call for personal
action of the kind ascribed to him by
people who never see him and
really know nothing about him." The
friends who speak in this was also
say that Mr.. Tilden enjoys excellent
health and is always so busy Ia one
way or another that he can hardly be
said TO have u spare moment. Most OF
his time is necessarily spent at Grey
stone, where he receives many visitors
and is accessible to all who present them
selves in a proper way. But he Is
not accessible to mere Paul Prys who
want to poke around and be able 10
say they have talked with Mr.. Tilden
in his parlor.

NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.

In compliance with a previous an
nouncement, with our next issue of the
DEMOCRAT, we will enlarge to a ak
column paper,and in order to make the
necessary arrangements, we will not
be able to get out paper next week.
On the thirteenth Of next month we
will come out with our six columns,
making four extra columns of reading
with many other improvements, which
will moro than repay for the issue
which We will have TO miss. We trust
our patrons, whose time expires with
the next issue, will take the advantage
Of our liberal offer, by re-subscribing
at once, which will be at the old and
low rate of one dollar per year; but
after the enlargement, wewi!l have to
charge one dollar and fifty. cents per
annum. it u t}
We had TO incur considerable ex-
pcnses, in purchasing additional mate
rial, to give our readers what they
have demanded and what we have de-
sired, and now we trust we will re.
ceivc such an increased subscription
list as will fully justify the outlay we
have had to make e.- TT.
7 As we are approaching one Of the
most important periods tx the history
of Tennessee, we are led to believe we
will have. a greatly increased circula-
ton of our county paper. And it will
be our. aim to give our readers all the
important, local, State and general
news.
The question, of all others, will be
the settlement Of our State debt-a
question no citizen can be Indifferent
about, for it concerns every citizen of
The State. The future prosperity OF
our State now hangs on the terms
agreed opon in settling the State
debt, f. .... .-A..., '.- o.
We will give the readers of the
DEMocEKr what we conceive TO be
the business Of newspaper, 'Pr;.1
and Con-, letting each reader make
up his own verdict; at the same time
we shall not be silent, but shalt give
expression to what we regard will be
best for the interest ofrour State. n
| We sliaii cndeavOr to make tic
DeNOcRAT of such a character as nc
family can afford to be without it,
dealing more in facts than in fancy,
We have published the paper in
the interest of the people, not party
or fiction, and, bya continuance. hope
to merit all increased patronage.

DEMOCRACY.


We have been informed that few
old fossils so-cailcd Democrats, CEN
sure us for our Independent course; a
course ftapped out sometime ago. -
1t isa source of great regret to US
that all Democrats aud those who
proresSto he Democrats, cannot agree
with rs AS to the true policy to be pur-
sized ty the Democratic party i'm the
future. We regret it, because there
are n,eI who profess TO he Democrats,
who lnaEe great pretensioas of being
liberal oand progressive, that are 90
nsrrow'ih their views they cannot al
low one to n.ake criticism, when the
party has clearly been guilty Of
wroug. II seems to us that such men
profess. to be Democpats because Of the
supposed war record Of the party, and
for n0otkcr, or better reason. They
will ;accrse every Que OF party treason
wha has independence enough to re-
fuae,t to rAtify and endorse all the fool
ish errors and wrongs of the past.
Tkese same men take periodical
spens Of reading people out of the par
ty, wke have been Democrats longer
than they, aud know what the word
Delascrscy should mean; because Of
just aud honest criticism on the dis
honest course Of some old Confeder-
ate war-horse, who has forgotten that
tho late war is over aud that Democ.
racy does not mean the Southern Con-
federscy.
1t is sad indeed, that these so-called
Democrats caauot see that times have
changed aud that we progress, that
thc Dcmocratic Isrty should have
other aud higher aims than the re-
ward Of men for past supposed SER
vices ia times OF war, withont regard
10 their fiti,ess to perform the service
needed now.
IL the Democratic party, in the
South, especially in Tennessee, will
reform itself, make itself better and
worthy Of confidence, move to a high
er plane and change its organization
from that Of an organized mob, for
spoils, to that Of a compact, closely
orgattized body, with principles en-
bl2zoued on, its banner, IN place OF
spoils, aud make war OH the Republi-
can party because ofits many corrup-
tions and expressions, make economy.
and good To- the people its battle cry,
then we will have u Democratic party
that will mean something else than
reward tile old office-holding nobiii-
ty;aud such a party as the founders
intended the Democratic party to be.
We area Democrat, and intend to
rclaaia one. because we are opposed to
the Republican party in it's schemes to
ceutralize the government, its protect
i've tariir. policy by which it builds up
thcifew, at the expcnse Of the many,
uccausc it fosters nlonopolies of all
kinds and Gar no other purpose than to
pcrpetuate its power.

which occurred Saturday night last near
Princeton, Caldwell county. 1t is reported
that on the night named a party of some
six men, masked and blacked, went to the
house of Mr.. j. M. Wolff, prominent
farmer Of Caldwell county, and robbed the
house Of $4,000 in silver. Two of the

$500 in paper, which was close to from
where they got the silver. AS soon as the
robbery became known there was consider
