people were put TO death during the
reign of horror. Arab Pasha's pow
er was driven out, and Englands fail
ed to replace it until it was Satke4.
No nation of modern times has dis
placed more bad governments with
good ones, than has the British EM-
pirc. But in dealing with a feeble
government like that Of Egypt, she
has the powet to see that there is,
practically, no time lost between the
government expelled and the one in
stalled. The loss of life may be ex-
agerated, but the Europeans were the
sufferers, The whole population, it is
said, left loaded with the property
taken from the houses of Europeans.
These houses were all sacked and
then all burned. Arab is said to be
entrenched few miles outside the
city, and England is determined to
pursue and destroy him.

Alexandria.

For a thousand years the city OF
Alexandria nourished under Grecian
and Roman culture before it fell into
the hands OF the Turk. 1t was found
ed by Alexander the great, became
the successor of Tyre and did not
commence its decline until Constan.
tinople became the seat of empire.
Its birth as city was 53a years be-
fore the birth of Christ, and il did
not pass into Roman possession until
about the period of the cruciiixion.
Cleopatra and Ptolemy and Cesar
Anthony and Napoleon have walked
its streets and there the Septuagint
first opened the Gospel to the heather.
The sage philosophers and scholars
Of the highest era Of Grecian learning
had their studios within its limits and
the shadow of decline did not visit
it until the trail Of English commerce
had doubled Good Hope, nor did
that shadow rise from it until French
genius had cut the Suez canal. For
24I4 years it has stood sentinel at the
mouth Of the Nile and witnessed the
birth and decay OF civilization and
the rise and fall Of empires. Its his.
tory extends back into the age of
prophecy and links together the two
bright ages when Greece and America
pavr to mankind their model Repub-
lies. il has withstood the bloody vi
csitudes o. a. centuries ard yet such
are its wealth, power and position that
an empire even mtshtier than that OF
lis founder has turned upon 1t the
mightest guns that ever shook the
seas. Before Babylon persisted 1t ex,
sted and as long as England shall
reach out her long arm for the trade
Of India, the city Of Alexandria is
destined to flourish.

they had no following. They were mere
LEADERS without II constituency. They
could not possibly count 10000 votes.
In 1880 Hawkins received 10000,
Wright Sc, 600 and Wilson 5000. These
figures showed Democratic vote of no
600. In this campaign Hawkins could
not carry the strength which the Presi-
dental campaign Of 1880 gave him, and
his vote would fall short of 100000.
Perhaps 90, 900 would be Il full allow
ance. The Beasely vote was so near
nothing that it might be eliminated from
the case. In this calculation we begged
leave 10 differ with Judge Haynes, and
to present the belief that in the election
for Governor the whole vote would be-
polled by the Republican party. We
would not be surprised to see Hawkins
poll 10000 votes. We would not be as
tonished to see the combined votes of
Fusscl, Bate and Beasely not in excess
of 10000. How many of these 100, 900
may be pollcd by Bate we cannot now
predict, for the reason that we have not
at present any basis for sound opinion.
But supposing orr above estimates to be
fair he would have to get more than no.
600 Of them, and by the time Senator
Harris has been thirty days on the Ten
nessee stump the strength of the Fussel
movement may be calculated.
One lesson may already be learned,
and that lesson is this. The bulk of the
Tennessee Democracy have so PERSISTENT
ly and so unitedly INDUCED in the brutal
dcnunciation of Malone and his leader
ship Of the Debt movement in Va. that
they have paved the track for this Fus-
sci party TO run on. They have spent
the season in poisoning the Virginia
drink with Fus(s)cl oil and now when
they are parching with the thirst for n
return to power, they find they have in
adycrcntly been putting ii into their
own pitcher.

Wise at Marion.

John S. Wise held yesterday FOL
two and a half hours as many of the
people Of Smyth county as could find
possible access to the court room.
His speech was pronounced by prom
inent Readjus,ers the fuest ever lis
tened to at Marion, and leading
Funder said it was a splendid advoca-
cy Of the wrong side. The ReadjuSt-
ers of Smyth are an absolute unit, and
will give Wise 600 majority. Massey
was not present, and the inimitable
and mastery speech of Capt. Wise
made me believe the whole Funder
party ashamed Of being caught with
the old man down below. Some Of
the leading ones say they will die be.
fore they will vote for him.
In the evening there was a hostile
meeting between capt wise ana
CONS Atty John S. Crockett, Of
Wythe. Capt. Wise approached Mr..
Crockett on the porch Of Sprinkle'S
Hotel and asked him as to a report
he had circulated concerning Capt.
Wise while he was on his visit TO
Bland some weeks ago. Capt. Wise
told Mr.. Crockett he had made no
such statement. Mr.. Crockett said
he thought he had, Yhereon Capt
Wise said, "You think A. lie, ="
and after perceptible pause he struck
Crockett four blows about the face
with his fist. Marshall Watts at once
separated them. Mayor Rider fined
Capt. Wise Sz.Sc.
The Readjusters Of smyth were dc.
lighted beyond measure at Capt.
wisc's address, and such unanimity
md enthusiasm never characterized
before.

RUSSELL.
The Tennessee Stalwarts.

The High Tax Boilers have held their
convention and have nominated for the
Governorship Capt, Joseph II. Russell of
Columbia, Maury Co. lie was car
penter by trade, and by that means ed
ucated himself and sisters. In 1866 he
threw down his hammer and handsaw
and commenced the practice of law. In
four years he became Attorney General
of his District and has been reelected
as such. Judge Wright and Eb James
conduted him to the stand and he made
q brief speech.
The platform supports the GO-3-l '5-6
Debt bill, advocates free shoots, and the
law forbidding the sale of liquor within
four miles of any College, the equal tax
alton of railroads, n commission to regu-
late freights, opposes n constitutional
convention and pitches very roundly in
to the Republican party, which it
charges with extravaganza, tendency
to Capitalization, violation of the funda-
mental law of the land and protection Of
the strong against the weak.
