Democratic gain, 404.
Gen. Pierce's majority over Lyle for Con-
gress ia this (the Ninth) district is between
5000 and 5000: Simonton's majority two
years ago over Shackelford was only 1000.
Not since the time that the gifted Lewis
Bond defeated that great Republican chief,
ALT Freeman, has there been such a canvass
made in this county as that Of our gallant
STANDARD bearer, Frsnk P. Bond. This sena-
torial district, formerly composed OF Hay
wood, Crockett, Lauderdale and Dyer coun-
ties, was redisric ed by the recent LegsIa-
ture, leaving ont DYER, and making the dis
trIct r publican by over 1000 msjority.
Frank T. Bond was unanimously nomi-
mated and urged to make the race; aud in
the interest OF Democracy he accepted
nom ma ion which he had neither sought or
desired, and in spite of powerful opposition
backed by Hubbellis fund, he came within
100 votes of being eecied He has won for
himself the gratitude of every good Demo
Graf in the district, and, though defeated,
the Democracy will not forget the valuable
services he has rendered his party. When
serensded Wednesday night and loudly
called for he said he did not regret having
made the race, aud though defeated he
would say to the euemy a, Gen. Bob loom bs
said to Oliver P. Morton after The war:
"You never did whip US; we just wore our
selves out whipping sou."
Many ID mocrats mere express regret that
the two colored candidates of our party in
Shelby county were defeated, and the sug-
g 3 ion of the APPEAL that they should be
handsomely provided for in the way of
come other offices is generally indorsed.
A cannon exploded Friday mig ht which was
being shot in honor of the Democratic VIC
tory, and did considerable damage 10 prop
erty within its range. A piece of it weigh
ing 150 pounds fell through the dry goods
store of Henry Levi, smashing his show
cS.es and counters. Another piece went
through the Masonic locge and fell into
Burtoh's store, and one part OF the big Dem-
ocralic gun went through the top of the ii,
tearing things 10 pieces and creating great
fright among the donates, while still an
other portion lodged in the Exchange Hotel
within two feet OF the cheek of slumbei ing
drummer. A te'egraph-post was cut half
in tWo and a calf and dog we're killed.
Fortunately no person was Toured.

AN attempt was made during the first
week of October 10 bring up the slavery
question in he Brazilian Congress in the
guise of taxing amendment, proposing
percentage tax instead of the ad cGpitenr one
of twenty flour mireis, and wishing to
oblige all owners to declare the value of each
slave within a maximum OF 500 milreis, al
though 'likely hand" is worth thrice that
sum. 1t is also proposed to make the de-
clared value the emancipatiug one, and 10
strike off five per cent. from it each year.
But this was opposed By senator's as well as
deputies, a msjority OF both being large
slave-owHers, who fear TO allow any meddliug
with the ediice lest it should come down with
a crash upon them. Death and public and
private emancipation will, therefore, as far
as our legislators are concerned, be left TO
work out the slave problem. OF those two
factors death is the only efficient enc, even
though the emancipations since 1871 have
reached the large figure of SOME $4,000 al
ready.

TIE Chattanooga Times states that Col.

TIE citizens of Augusts, Ga, last week
held an Indignation meeting and denounced
the Hon. Patrick Walsh because bis paper,
the Chronicle and COnstitutionaiis, threw cold
water on the candidacy of The Hon. J. c.
Black for The United States Senate. Mr..
Walsh's newspaper is in favor CT Elk Gov.
Colquitt. Mr.. Black is a r, sident of Augusta
and his fellow-citizeDs would very naturally
like 10 see him made senator, but an indg-
nation meeting was poor way to express it.
The Chronicle and Consfitrtionairt will be a
thriving newspaper long after every one Of
the Indignant Augustins is dead and buried,
and Mr.. Walsh will be held in reverend re-
membrsuce as a journalist who dared to do
his duty in spite Of the personal clamor OF
the admirers OF Black, who is likely TO be as
disappointed as Colquitt when he secs Alex
Stephens elected 10 he S-uaie.

The young men of Mobile are sn1ious to
unite with those of Montgomery in making
the inauguration of Governor-eIect O'NeaI,
OF Alabama, On occasion OF great eclaf.
They propose to send one or mora companies
of troops there, and thus highien what they
desire to make an imposing ceremony. Gen.
O'Neal is great favorite in Mobile, but the
Montgomery Adrertiser fears that as the
people OF The State capital are Indifferent in
the mater there will be nothing on the let
of December beyond the ordinary ceremony
of taking the oath of Office and delivering
the inaugural address. This is the more
democratic method, and We believe would
be more in sccordaUcs with the severe taste
and simplicity of Gen. O'NeaPs character.
