Judge Blacks Prophecy.

The recent death of Judge Jere
Black has recalled his famous
speech before the electoral commits
sion, speech that no other man
perhaps could have delivered I'M
checked. 1t is not necessary to re-
port the whole address. The nub
of it was in the concluding passa-
ges, which are as follows:
elf this thing stands accepted,
and the law you have made for this
occasion shall be the law for all Oc-
casiOnS, we can never expect such a
thing AS an honest election again.
Ii you want to know who will be
the President by a future election,
do not inquire how the people of
the States are going to vote. You
need only inquire what kind of
ScoundrelS constitute the returning
boards and how much it will take
to buy them.
day. At present you have US down
and under your feet. Never had
you better right to rejoice. Well
may you say; 1--WE have made a
covenant with death and with hell
are we at agreement. When the
overlooking scOurge shall pass
through it shall not come to us for
our refuge, and under falsehOod
have we hid ourselves" The wa
tiers of truth will rise gradually and
slowly, but then look out for the
overlooking scourge.
1.-The refuge of lies shall be swept
away, and the hiding place of false
hood shall be uncovered. This
mighty and puissant nation shall
yet raise herself up like a strong
man after sleep and shake her irwin
chile locks in a fashion you little
think of now. Justice travels with
leaden heel, bull strikes with an
iron hand. Gods mill grinds slow,
but dreadfully fine. Wait till the
flood gate is lifted and a full head
of waters comes rushing on. Wait
and you will see the fine grind
ing"

jackson DiSDatch,

Tennessee is now in more gen.
eral state of prosperity and the
masses of her citizens are in better
condition than at any time since the
war. There are unmistakable evil
dences of quiet home in business
circles from johnson to Shelby and
a widespread feeling of better
times.
Knoxville is the center of a COM
mercial rush. All the hotels are
full and accommodation is being
sought for in private families. All
the residences in the city are Oc-
cupIed and there is clamOr for
more houses. Chattanooga is now
q rival TO Knoxville in population
and business activity. Her manu-
factories are building up in the city
and their is demand for more
houSe-room for those who are going
there. Our capital city, Nashville
revolution of Its municipal govern
ment and will manage its affairs
hereafter on business principles.
Other Middle Tennessee towns are
showing their prosperity and in
crease of population and wealth.
Memphis is now entering upon one
of the most active and progressive
eras of improvement and progress
of any city in the whole South. Its
geographical situation is bound to
make it a much greater city than it
is now. Union City and Dyersburg
are two other thriving towns that
are sharing in the general progress
which is coming in the South. Jack
son, the chief inland city of West
Tennessee, is holding her place in
the vanguard of this onward march
Her citizens can keep her there il
they will only take an interest in
and give the proper encouragement
to the genius of manufacturing.

Coca ADVICE.
American Register.

1t is stated, with how much truth
we do not know, that the program
of the Republican managers in the
coming Congress includes a desper-
ate attempt to reopen the tariff dis
turbance in the hope of raising II
row in the Democratic party, by
which they hope to be benefited.
If the Democrats are wise they will
handle this subject with great pru-
dence and discretion. They have
now the inside track in the national
race and all the advantages which
a succession of surprising victories
can give. The fate of the next
campaign will rest with the conduct
of the Democratic House. If they
put aside useless discussion upon
measures which they alone can ac-
complish, and address themselves
to that which will be of general
good, they will enter the coming
great struggle with everything in
their favor and be rewarded with a
sweeping triumph. But if they
plunge into tariff discussion there is
danger ahead.

TIE Rej,o,o1 We Want.
we clip the following from an ex,

change:
We may want a religion that sof-
tens the step aud tunes the voice to
melody, and fills the eye with sun
shine, and checks the impatient ex-
clamation and harsh rebuke-a re-
Iigion that is polite, deferential to
superiors, courteous to interiors, and
considerable to friends; a religion
that goes into the family, and keeps
the husband from being cross when
the DINNER is late, and keeps the
wife from fretting when he tracks
the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, and makes him mind
fui of the scraper and door-mat ;
keeps the mother patient when the
baby is cross, and amuses the chill
dren as well as instructs them
cares for the servants, besides pay
ing them promptly; projects the
honeymoon into the harvest moon,
and makes the happy home like the
Easter fig-tree, bearing in its bosom
at once the beauty of the tender
blossoms and the glory of the ripen-
ed fruit. We want a religion that
shall interpose between the ruts,
and the gullies and rocks of the
highways of life, and the sensitive
souls that are travelling over them

THESE are Ex-Governor Hen
bricks words to the democrats OF
Iowa 1.-THE purpose and object OF
any tax, whether upon imports or
upon domestic productions, should
be to raise needed revenue but in
either case the sagacious legislator
will carefully consider the effect OF
his action and policy upon the inn
pOrtant interests of the country.
In the adjustment of a tariff it be-
comes a question of infinite detail
what shall be the rate upon each ar
ticle taxed and, in the sentiment
of the Ohio and Indiana resolu-
tiOns, inequalities of burdens and
mOnOpolies should be prevented,
and care taken that the industries
of the country and the interests OF
labor suffer no HARM"

IT is said that "One reason Of the
lack of success in starting young
orchard on old, worn out lands, is
that the necessary care is not taken
to deepen the soil and thoroughly
prepare and manure it. Another
reason is the neglect that the young
trees subsequently receive. The
young orchard is too often left to
take care of itself. The weeds out
rank the trees, no suitable manure
is applied, and the land is left un-
plowed, and the unequal contest for
life is soon concluded"

Gambling IN Memphis.
Memphis Scimetar.

This morning i'm the Criminal
Court several members of the police
force were present as witnesses in
State cases. Judge Greer availed
himself of the occasion in which to
give the policemen then present,
and through them the whole police
force, some special instructions
touching their duties in regard to
the gambling houses. He said to
them that they were as much Off
GERS of the State as of the Taxing
District, and that he should require
of them to keep a close lookout, and
when they had good reason to sus-
pect that any person or persons were
keeping gambling house, they
should at once arrest the persons so
offending, and all other persons pres
ent aiding and abetting, and put
them in the county Jail and that
they should take forcible possession
of all gambling devices, tools, etc.,
found in such house or houses, and
deliver them to him at the Criruinal
Court, to be disposed of by him.
Judge Greer further instructed the
policemen that when they had
knowledge that any house was be-
ing kept as a gaming house, ami
they found the doors locked, they
should break said doors open, and
go in and arrest all the parties.
Judge Greer stated that he gave
these instructions to the policemen
because he felt that they would not
be so instructed by the President
of the Taxing district. He said
that gambling houses in Memphis
could exist no more; that he inten-
ded to break them up, and that he
hoped all the police officials would
cooperate with him in his effort to
accomplish that end but that if
any official of the police force, high
or low, refused to so cooperate,
such official must take the cOnse-
quences. The Judge said that he
started out to annihilate gaming
houses, and that he intended to ac-
complish his purpose at all hazards.
