senator sroun,. Enna

Senator Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, who
recently made handsome and judicious gift
of $4,000 to the State University for the ed
ucation of poor young men, has written an
interesting letter 10 an old friend setting
forth his hopes respecting the fund. 1t is
part of his plan that the benefciaries shall
return the money advanced TO them when
they are able to do SO. off one is tainted as

jealousy, he resigned his position as elee'or,
took the stump, appealed to the people ana
at the close Of the canvass he had reVolu-
tionized public sentiment, silenced all oppo-
sition and retired the most popular Demo
crat in the State, as was evidenced by his
triumphant election TO the United States
Senate. In this canvass Senator Harris will
achieve still more brilliant victory, for he
is fighting the battle of his party and the peo-
Pile as we'll as his own. Napoleon always
felt sanguine Of victory when a certain favor
tie general was in the battle, and the Dem
ocracy of Tennessee never doubt success
when aided by the strong arm OF Senator
Harris who, in all former contests, has never
failed 10 plant the banner of Democracy
upon the ramparts of vanquished Zoe.
Never was our gallant leader 30 Impregnably
rooted in the right as in this contest. He is
backed not only by truth, justice and right,
but by the people, and in pleading for the
election of our gallant standard-bearer for
governor he will feel and know that he is
supporting man of high character, whose
record is without blemisn-a man who in
war bore himself gslIantly; in peace has
discharged the duties of citizenship in way
to win the respect of all without regard TO
party. Democrats of Tennessee, be of good
cheer, for you will win the fight just as sure
as the day of election arrives. Let us
everywhere hold up the hands of our candi-
date for governor, for Congress, for the Legis-
lature, and the speakers who have enlisted
in the canvass. Let us keep in view that the
fight is not between Democrats and boilers,
but clearly and Enthusiastically between the
Democrats and Republicans, between Bate
and Hawkins, between Isham G. Harris and
Bill Stokes for United States Senator. And
in view of the magnitude of the issues we
should not permit ourselves to be switched
bad advice or the connivance OF crafty Re
publieans There is no possible chance for
Fdssell; every vote for MIN is a vote against
Bate and for Hawkins. This fact the Repub-
leans appreciate, and hence their sympathy
Tor RUSSELL, their efforts to exaggerate his
strength and to dSparage that of Bate. On
election day the Republican managers at
avery poll in the State will be provided with |
RUSSELL tickets, aDd when they cannot get in |
| Hawkins ticket they will press the RUSSELL |
ticket. And the boilers will play the same
ime by urging Democrats who will not |
upport RUSSELL to vote for Hawkins. On |
this point, then, the question is reduced 10
his: Do Democrats prefer Hawkins, the Re
publican nominee, TO General Bate, the reg
liar candidate of his party, and nominated |

-ention ever held in Tennessee?

The Hon. Isham G. Harris entered the
canvass yesterday in a speech at Paris, his
former home 1t is no exaggeration TO say
that there is no man in Tennessee who pos
sesses so much OF the confidence and afec-
tions OF the people Senator Harris. He
has earned this confidence and high esteem
BY dedicating his life TO the public service
and faithful labor for the people with whom
he has always sympathized. The appear
ance OF Senator Harris on the stump means
more than the potency of his voice, ard more
than the weight and value of his powerful
appeals to The people. 1t means that he
places himself on the platform adopted by
the combined wisdom of his party, in which
he has more confidence than the factious OPP
position OF a few boilers. 1t means that he
puts himself prominently in the Democratic
column in Tennessee, and will contribute his
great influence in marshaliDg it to the
triumph which it never fails to achieve
when he vigorously leads in the fight. He
will visit the three grand divisions OF
the State, and organize victory with
his influence and inspire it with his
voice upon the stump. Eight years ago
a faction in Tennessee more formidable
than the boilers arrayed themselved sgainst
Senator Harris. In the State convention OF
1876, called to select electors and delegates
TO the National Democratic convention, a
ferce war was made upon him, and there
was strong opposition TO his election as
sIector for the State-at-lsrge. Indignant at
this causeless war upon him, inspired by

~ Washington Letter.
Mr.. Arthur's time for working is late al
night. His friends and social friends fire.
quently stay till 10 or IL O'Clock, and after
they go the President goes to his work. He
works rapidly, and keeps two or three clerks
busy. 1t is always after midnight, and
sometimes it is as late as o'clock in the
morning, before he gets through. But he
cleans his desk. Not thing is set aside and
piled up for the next day. Going to bed at 3
or O'Clock is no doubt conducive TO sleep
but it is not conducive TO wakefulness and
work in the morning. And yet, during the sit
tings of Congress, the President is expected
10 be ready 10 receive senators and represent
tatives at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. The
rest of the day is taken up with callers until
4 or 5 O'Clock, when the President takes a
little rest and drives out with the finest
equipsge ever housed in the White House
stables, in the last twenty-five years at least.
His Brewster landau is of the largest size,

eENERAL CHALnER,s LErrER.

Owing to the late hour at which General
Chalmers's letter was received last evening,
We are unable to accompany its publication
With an elaborate reply. Indeed, it would
require several columns 10 expose the sub,
erfuges and bubbles to which he resorts to
sustain his course. like a drowning man
General Chalmers catches at every straw,
but he is destined 10 sink beneath the waves
of public opinion. The National Democ-
Memphis APPEAL occupy precisely the same
position which they occupied in the spring
of 1876, when, IN a speech delivered in
Mississippi, General Chalmers said:
The secession Democracy lies buried in the
tomb OF calhoun ana under the nttie niiloeks
crate dead The Democratic party of to-day is
composed of the liberal and conservative men of
all former party creeds, and it swept in triumph
the Northern States in last years elections.
1t is the party of the people opposed to the office
make themselves our masters. 1t is the party of
the taxpayers, opposed to the plunderers who
nave converted places of trust into franchises for
embezzlenent. 1t is the party of honesty, iutelli-
gence and virtue opposed to corruption. ignorance
opposed to centralized despotism. It is the party
of constitutional liberty, opposed to the one-man
power, whether 1t comes by inheritance or by the
not, then, bubble about name, but let us rally
under the national Democratic banner, which
Hendricks, OF Indiana, Allen of Ohio, Tilden, of
New York, and CASTOR, of Massachusetts,, have
borne in triumph, and If victory should
perch upon our standard it will be all
the more glorious, because none can say ii WIS
won under false colors; ard il defeat comes we
can meet Ii like men. Let US follow the example
of the glorious Democracy of Massachusetts, who
have wandered forty years in the wilderness of
defeat, but whose faith has at last received its
merited reward. Let US cling to the hope that our
ancestors of l776 did not die in vain, and that
publican liberty will be preserved; and let US still
believe that truth is eternal and public justice
certain" But If we mistaken, If corrup tion,
ignorance and vice shall take the place of honesty,
Intelligence and virtue; If our property is to be
con hseated 10 enrich tax gathering robbers; If
military satraps to strangle State legislatures
if constitutional liberty is to be destroyed, and
military despot to usurp the crown which Wash
iDgton refused, then let the old Democratic ship
be set afioat. and let US
mail to the mast her tattered flag
Set every threadDare SAIL
And give her to the God of storms,

And adewn the hillside,
Through the rocky glen.
Every ripping streamlet
Danced and laughed again
When my neart was singing.
When my heart was signing
All the world was gray;
Cloud and moaning breezeS
Hid the light away
Gaunt and bare, through the air. rose the barren
hill,
Loud and clear, rising near, pipsd the locust
shrill
And the gloom without us
Seemed to find rest
In the gathering shadows
Hidden in my breast.
When my heart was signing.
Between song and signing
Not day had flown,
Not change had fallen
Save on me alone;
Shade of light dark bright, from my spirit still
Came the bloom. came the gloom, painting good
DRILL;
So through all the seasons,
Every day departs
Painted with the changes
OF our changing hearts,
Signing thus, or singing.

A NASHVILLE SENSATION.
A Prominent Citizen charged with Sc.
ducing a Young Girl.

NASHVILLE, August 1S.-Considerable ex-
element exists here over a scandal that has
just come to light. David Hughes, a wealthy
and prominent citizen, is charged with Be-
ducing young girl named Mollie Payne,
only fourteen years of age, and then pro.
curing her marriage to an ex-convict by the
name OF Phillips. The girl has instituted
suit for 4 divorce and damages to the
amount of 100000, and yesterday made the
following affidavit before Justice Baskette:
THE AFFIDAVIT.
!, Molly Payne, make oath that David
Hughes, about one year ago, by fattery and
promises of wealthy presents, and to furnish
me a support in luxury, succeeded in Sc
ducing me to his embraces, and then sur
rendered to him my virginity. He has since
made me presents of furniture, ETC., and I'M
til L surrendered myself 10 Hughes was in
nocent and pure. Recently, he pretended it
was necessary TO his happiness for him to
have me away from my mother, and from
the control of my guardian, and that to do
80 1t would be necessary for me to marry /;
that he would procure me respectable hus-
band for money, who, upon the marriage,
would consent for me TO remain apart from
him. L was completely under his in
huence and control, and submitted.
He told me he would have Phillips,
man whom 1 had never seen, to marry me.
Hughes did this, l am satisfied, for the dou-
BILE purpose OF getting me away from my
mothers home, 10 have me more completely
under his control, and away from the control
Of my guardian. He 80 informed me as 10 nv
mothers control, also for the purpose of cut
ting off any right of litigation, as his mer-
cenary tool, Phillips, would be governed by
him. MoLLIE PAYNE.

AReautffui Spectacle.

idlers on the piszzas at the West End were
treated to a beautiful spectacle. Shortly
after dark the full moon, in all its silyery
splendor, rose gently up out of the sea AT
first merely little rim of bright light " az
visible, but soon the base of the whole sill
very circle rested on the gently heaving
waters. Then full-rigged ship, with every
sail spread to catch the breeze, appeared on
the face of the moon. The outline OF sails,
spsrs and hull were plainly distinguishable,
aud stood out in bold relief on the bright
background. To the spectators the ship
seemed to be gently sailing on some invisible
lake OF the moon. For a moment only did
the spectacle linger, and then the vessel
gIided like specter out into the darkness
