A correspondent Of the New York World
says: Il do not pretend to say what causes
scabby potatoes, but some of my neighbors
vouch tor the effectiveness of refuse tobacco as
a remedy. Their plan is to cut up the refuse
stems and stalks of tobacco quite fine in an
ordinary straw-cutter and apply handful to
each hill of potatoes at the time Of planting
This simple remedy appears to have done good
by destroying the grubs of parasites, or what.
ever is the cause of the sca5. 1t also acts as a
good fertilizer"

As is usually the case where an article OF true

its wonderful results, as the celebrated Electric

induce an unsuspectlng public to purchase their
fraudulent wares. Ask your druggist for the

for another Socialist demonstration here.
The authorities are unable to discover who
posted the placards, so efficiently has the
work been done; but full notice having
been given, it is probable the demonstra-
tion will take place. The police are on
the alert and prevent, if possible, any out

One Of the workmen employed by the

MICHIGAN was the birth place Of
the Republican party. The ideas
originated in the East and in England,
but the first formal organization was
perfected at Jackson, Michigan. This
is fully set forth in the life of Zack
Chandler, as all eur readers who have
a copy are aware. The State has just
elected a Democratic Governor. How
the world do move" or as the fresh
man said in bad Latin, "how tempus
fugitsl" The original old abolition
leaders, who have passed away since
the war, and regarded the Republican
party as the government, would turn
over in their graves if they could con-
veuiently do SO after hearing last
Tuesdays news. Still the country is
safe; it has survived the reckless rule
Of the Republican party, and is pre-.
pared to enter upon long and un.
precedented era Of prosperity and
harmony, under a Democratic admin
istration.

IT is but recently that two of the
best ppstofice carriers in this city
were discharged simply because they
dared vote for the low tax Republi-
can ticket at the August election.
This is specimen, in small way, Of
the bos ism which undertakes to
govern men eonsciences and dictate
their political opinions as we'll as drain
their pockets for campaign pur-
poses. This is one of the Jay
Hubbell methods Of governing a free
people. These two carriers, Wash
ington and Mccoy, colOred men, we're
acknowledged to be efficient, intelli-
gent and reliable. There was no objec
tion to them by white people, and their
politics was not called into question
or thought Of. But it leaked out that
these quiet, polite men had voted the
low tax Republican ticket, and they
had to 90. The report was sent to
Washington and the order came.
The country has rebuked this style Of
boss rule in an unmistakable way, and
the Republicans in the South who
voted with the Democrats have com
pany in the North, where hundreds Of
thousands of their brethren voted the
same way. It is a sweeping victory
for the better elements Of both par
ties, for the people at large versus
machine rule, rather than a
strictly Democratic victory. The
Democrats will not be unmindfuI
of the independent Republicans, col
ored and white, who aided them tC
carry Tennessee and the country. L
is a poor rule that will not work botl
ways, and whilst we would not advo

The election Of Houk to Congress
in the Second district may not be an
unmitigated evil after all. He repre-
sents a race of Radicals in the South
rapidly passing away, and will serve as
an illustration of the necessity which
existed for Southern people to get
from under such rule. He will have
no influence in the next House, and it
will not make any difference whether
he answers wien his name is called or
not. He can take his "pizen" regu
larly, without exciting the slightest
concern Of either party, and may be
