General Bate, the Democratic can.
didate for Governor of Tennessee, is
one Of the most brilliant men in the
South. How we'll the writer remem.
bers when in 1861, Bate and his gal.
liant company of young men left Gal
latin, Tennessee. A finer company Of
men never shouldered arms. They
left one Sunday afternoon. 1t was a
day Of mingled pleasure and sorrow;
of smiles and tears. Mothers and
sisters had gathered at public hall
and made the handsome uniforms.
How many Of them made shrouds. The
Young lady who joyously stitched the
plush cap, did not know that it would
SO soon cover the upturned face of her
brother, CHASTITY and maugled in death.
The bare. foot boys that hung around"
aud begged for scraps OF bright col
ored goods with which to adorn their
homely straw hats, did not realize that
their extreme youth kept them from
the iron jaws of death. They thought
it was a shame that they were not per.
mitted to 90 away and fight. How
those boys yearned for the battlefield.
Many of them, the writer among the
number, erected tents of old carpets
and insisted upon sleeping in the back
yard. Houses and beds were made
for girls. None but the cruel father
could disregard the halt OF the sen
tinel, walk up to the tents, tear them
down and say, "You boys 90 on the
house or III nettle you till you can't
sit down"
The bitterest time was the bright
Sunday afternoon when Bates com
pany left home. Thousands of people
gathered at the depot. Old colored
women came around with baked
chickens and pies. Mothers tainted
when the train started. The writer
filed with enthusiasm, and with red
stripes down the legs of his dirty linen
trousers, exclaimed: Wish | was old
enough 10 90. ="
What do you want to 20 for2'
asked a red headed, .treckeled face
boy.
ITO fight"
"To fight" no repested contempt
uously. "Yo would't fight toad"
This was a mortal insult, but the
time for slaughter had not arrived.
No, you wouldn't fight sick cat.
The insulted hero vertured to re-
mark that the freckled face boy was
liar. The Rext moment there was
certain difficulty in standing up. The
hero struck madly, but the insulter
plunded him on the nose and choked
him back against the stationhouse.
Tradition says that the hero yelled.
Probably he did, but didn't boy have
a right to cheer the troops?
The beautiful uniforms never re-
turned. At the close of the war
few ragged men came back, half
starved and miserable. The freckled
face boy is now in Congress.

speclal to the World.

TRENTON, TENN July IA large
and enthusiastic mass meeting Of
Democrats assembled in the court
room to day to ratify the action of the
late Democratic convention.
The following resolutions were
passed without dissenting vote:
Resolved, That this meeting of
Democrats of Gibson county believe
that the Democratic convention re
Gently held in Nashville to have been
the largest and most thoroughly repre-
sentative ever before held in Tennes-
see, and we hail with delight the fact
that after the unfortunate discussions
in the party there was such unity of
action, and that of the fourteen Eun-
dred Democrats present less than one
hundred showed any dissatisfaction.
We heartily indorse the platform
laid down by our convention, and
consider that portion relative to the
State debt as wise and just both to
the taxpayer and the creditor.
We compliment our delegates in
said convention in their selection of a
standard bearer, and send greetings to
brother Democrats all over the State,
and promise them that Gibson county
will cast her large Democratic vote
solid for the gallant Bate.

The making OF oleOmargarine is a
remarkable industry, and all efforts to
suppress the compound known by that
name have been unavailing. There
are now eleven factories engaged in the
work, one of which, in New York,
makes 1000 pounds of butterine daily.
besides large quantities of oil. The
process is a simple one. The caul Of
beet cattle, such as the rich, oily sub
stance that you see on the edge of fat
steak, is pressed by machinery and the
oil separated from the membrane. This
oil is called oleomargarine. 1t is
mixed with a quantity of milk, churn-
ed and the product is called butterine.
The oil, being much cheaper than milk,
makes butterine much cheaper than
butter. 1t cannot be told from genuine
butter by epicure or expert, and defes
all chemical tests. Two or three years
ago the exports on butterine were
enormous, London and Paris being
almost entirely supplied with this
false butter. However, the wary
Hollanders discovered that by i'm
porting the oil, adding a little
milk in Holland and churning it there,
they could undersell the Yankee but
terine and furnish a much fresher
article. As Holland supplies the
butter to a great extent to all Europe
the exports of butterine from America
have almost entirely ceased, but tons
of the oil are yearly sent to Holland
To the credit of the people of tina,
country, let it be said, they have sue
ceeded 10 making a butterine of a
favor and appearance that have never
been eeualled by Americans, not
outstanding the proverbial ingenuity
Of the latter. 0leomargarine of good
quality can only be made from the
choicest Of beef, and, in view of the
established facts, it is difficult to un.
derstsnd why such a strong prejudic,
exists against its use. Choice butter
carrying with il the favor of fragrant
grasses and the bouquet Of daisies anC
clover, is undoubtedly better than an
false article can be; but when it i
remembered that a vast amount o
real butter is by uncleanly hands
in foul-smelling kitchens and cellars
the odors of which cling TO the com
pound, it must be acknowledged tina
butterine possesses its advantages.

The boilers from the recent State

tempt to justify themselves on the
ground that the convention made a
platform in conflict with the one Of

readers remember that those sticklers

and instead of adjusting tho State
debt at 80 or GO cents on the dollar
they saddled the whole amount, dol

risively called last years bird pest

Hon. Alfred T. McNeal. of Harde-
man county, and one of the regular
Democratic Executive Committee,
reached the city this evening, and
brings cheering accounts. He says
not five nor three, nor even one. Demo-
cratic vote will be lost to Bate in
Hardeman, Haywood and the other
counties adjoining, and he has advices
of like import from all other portions
of the State. Whether Bailey or any
other Boiler, he says, is nominated, he
cannot poll 500 votes in West Tennes.
see, nor $500 in the State. He thinks
that in three months the creditors
themselves will admit that the propo.
sition to pay the debt proper dollar for
dollar, and the remaining debt at 50-3,
is the fairest yet made. 1t was, he
says, the largest offer ever made by the
property owners of Tennessee-not
made by politicians, but by taxpayers,
low tax and no tax Demo Gratis and
they made it in good faith as com
promise, and they have been so often
swindled by their representatives that
most of them will abide by no sugges-
ton yet agreed on, whether 60-6 or
less. He thinks if they continued to
be "nagged' they may come almost to
absolute reputation.
As for the Republicans, said Mr..
McNeal, their pretense Of public
honor is all a sham, and woe to the
soreheaded Democrats who court
their alliance A few years ago, he
continued, when the Democrats pro-
posed 0.4 the Republican were against
it all over the State. They appealed
to their eolored allies to vote down
the proposition, urging upon them the
large share of the debt they would
have to pay, telling them to remember
they were slaves when the debt was
contracted and got none Of the bene-
fits, while the white folks got them
all. For bold pretense and unmiti
gated, unblushing fraud that party
has never been equaled. He does not
think that so 6 will impose larger
tax than the 5O-3 proposition, but he
does hold that the latter settlement
will do more even and exact justice to
the creditors than the former, since
the latter agrees to pay dollar for dol
lar the debt proper, whatever it may
be found to be, aud one-half the re-
mainder with fair interest.
"a
man OF more than ordinary intelli-
gence and information, and his tidings
are most hopeful. lie thinks the
boilers, some of whom may feel that
they represent no element Of the
party and have no political future
will make great blunder if they joir

Surely the very straightest State credit
Democrats will conclude before that
time that it will be best to unite on
Bate, defeat Hawkins and go in for
electinga Legislature as nearly in &C
cord with their views of State honor
as they can get. By nominating Bailey
or any other candidate they cannot
get near so much, for it is either Bate
or Hawkins-Democracy or Republic
canism.
TRYING To RAISE THE WIND.
The State credit men to-day an
nouuced mass meeting for next Sat
urday, the 9Th inst, to be composed of
their factions in this county. The
object is to arrange for big display
on the 1lth, and there are some Of
Bates friends who think it would be
best for him for the Bailey party to
make a nomination, as it would result
in driving all low tax Democrats to
Bates support. General Bate, how
ever, says his efforts will be to concili-
ate all elements of the party; that he
has no war to make on Democrats.
SOME DEBT FIGURES.
In estimating the debt it is found
that all the Controllers from
1855 to 1875, from Arthur B. Crozier
to John G. Burch, classified the debts
of Tennessee as State debt proper"
and contingent OF bonded loan debt.
John c. Burch was the first Control
Ter to obliterate the distinction. In
1879 the Legislature of Tennessee APP
pointed a committee to Investigate
the State debt. The Hon. S. f. Will
son and Judge j. w. Clapp were on
the committee. While their report
differed in some respects they agreed
as to the amount of the State debt. 1t
