tears and entreaties TO use his influ-
ence to save him. When my husband
resigned to go into the Cabinet il was
generally understood, and my husband
so understood, that Gov. Chamberlain
would be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Instead, and to the surprise of every
one, Gov. Connor appointed Mr.. Blaine,
then a Representative in Congress and
under charges in that body, to the va
cancy.
AS Mrs. Morrill, intimated, the APP
pointment of Mr.. Blaine to the vacancy
was evidently to save him from the
further investigation and the inevitable
discriminating verdict of the commit
tee Gov. Ccnnor had his reward. He
Is now Pension Agent for this State,
the best Office next to the Collector
ship.
This is very strong confederation
Of the Mulligan testimony, in fact so
strong that it must carry conviction to
any unbiased mind. So respectable a
lady as Mrs. Morrill,, the widow of a
prominent Republican, could have no
motive in making such statements
unless they were true.
Blaine is equally as unfortunate in
his suit with the Indianapolis Senti-
mel. 1t is regretted by all decent peo-
pie that such a thing as this was
brought into the canvass, but it has,
nevertheless, become a prominent
feature, and the Republican candidate
is rs much to blame for the fact ms
any one else. There is almost posi-
tive proof that Blaine instigated the
charges against Cleveland's moral
character and circulated the paper
containing them and the publication
in the Sentinel would never have been
made but for those charges
However that may be, Blaine is no
present worsted in the Sentinel suit
That journal has filed its answer to
his bill, and pleads justifcatiOn-that
is, that its allegations were true. 1t
furthermore files number of specific
interrogations which he will be re-
quired to answer under oath, and the
very bold, pointed and particular man.
ner in which they are put is alone suf-
ficient to create strong suspicion of
their truth.
The dramatic manner in which
Blaine instituted the suit Is thus
brought into ridicule and places him
at a disadvantage. The fact is, the
willy statesman from Maine is cornered
all round, and it will take some of his
shrewdest tactics to work clear.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The CHRONICLE is not 4 railroad or
gan. We do not espouse the cause of
the railroads against the people. When
ever we recognize the fact that there
is war between the two we will fight
on the peoples side.
We are opposed to mOnopolies of all
kind and believe in restraining the
gigantic corporations that would tram
pie on the rights of the individual.
The law is made for all, and all should
feel alike its impartial operation.
But corporations have rights as well
as individuals and a senseless preju-
dice, famed into flame by designing
demagogues, may lead the people to
the infringement of those rights. The
railroad commission question, rs at
present agitated in Tennessee, has a
tendency in that direction. John Saw
age, to use his own language, is "mak
ing war on railroads" and using every
means in his power to in1ame the
people against these much needed in
situations.
We do not believe in "war on rail-
roads," We do not believe in giving a
cOmmunistic crank like Savage the
power to injure railroads for the pur-
pose of providing him with Office.
Railroads should be regulated, but not
oppressed. We want legislation to
prevent improper discrimination in
passenger and freight charges and we
want to see it enforced, but we don't
believe the railroad commission is nee
essary to that end.
The Tennessee railroad commission
as it exists, and as it is proposed to
perpetuate it, has the smell of a job.
1t was not called for by necessity and
was meant only to provide fat places
for professional office seekers. The
men who were appointed to fill it and
who are now candidates before the
people, have no capacity for such work.
John Savage is the most Objectionable
man who could be found in the State
for such a position, and the others
are men Of less than mediocre ability
The cry for the commission has not
come from shippers. The merchants
OF the State, the manufacturers and
the classes that have most dealing with
the railroads are opposed to it. 1t is
the politicians who have agitated the
matter. These knight Grant defend
ers of the dear peoples rights must
find somewhere dreadful giant thirst
ing for the peoples blood, that they
are called on TO fight, and the railroads
Just now serve them for that purpose.
One of the greatest needs in Tennes-
see is new railroads. The proper de-
velopment of the States resources
demand them, and her commercial
and farming interests will never pros
per rs they should do without them.
We therefore want no men in Office
who "war on railroads" and we want
no legislation unfriendly to such en-
terprises. We want no sinecures for
professional politicians, but we want
wise laws that will protect all interests
and Cypress none.

THERE is no denying the fact that
the result in Maine is more satisfacto-
~ to the Republicans than to the
Democrats. The former have carried
thessState by at least 10000 majority,
more than doubling their majority of
two years ago. The Maine election
has never had any bearing on Presi-
Dental contests, however, and it is not
likely to do so this year. The Repub-
lican gain is probably nothing more
significant than a compliment to Blaine
in his own State.

ONE of the most curious incidents
in the history OF African slavery in
America is the life of Charles Stew
art, a slave owned by the Johnsons
OF Virginia, and afterwards by the
Porters of Louisiana, both OF them
noted as posses5ors of remarkable
racing horses. He was born train
er and rider of horses, and during
his long lifetime has ridden the
winning horse at many of the great
races down South. He could not
write, and knew nothing about fig
ures, but was nevertheless trusted
by his owners with the care and
transportation OF their stock, and,
the custody of bets and stakes, and
he seems always to have come out
right. One Of the ladies of the Por-
ter family recently took down the
story of his life as told by himself,
and it will be given, in his own ne
gro dialect, in the October Hdrpe1's
with a portrait Of the old hero Of the
turf,

THE Nashville Americans young
man who edits the Topics of the Day"
column had some mighty interesting
reading in Sundays issue, the chief
"topic" of which was how ladies should
ride. One of his paragraphs-read as
follows
A merry half dozen rode by moon
light one night last week to the top of
the nine-mile ridge west of the city.
The view from there, as the party
stood looking off over the wide, rolling
valley bathed in a translucent light,
was worth seeing and worth remem-
berIng.
We fail entirely to grasp the idea of
translucent light" 1t has a kind of
double significance that is too much
for US, but we hope it don't indicate
that the young man saw double ON the
occasion mentioned.

Later News About the /. A. & t., Railroad.
The rolling stock for the /. A. d
T. r. r., will be at GAINESVILLE, as
the officers of that road inform US,
within a very few days. 1t is now
being shipped at Alliance, Ohio.
Mr.. Turbytill, an engineer, has gone
from here to that place and is super
intending its shipment. A telegram
received on the 9th states that rates
had been secured 10 GAINESVILLE and
the shipment would be made as
soon as Mr.. TurbyfilI could get it in
position. There will be two loco
motives and about 146 cars, Inclu-
ding two passenger coaches. Maj.
Gordon informs us that the iron
rails for the second ten miles will be
here within the next few days when
the track will be laid to the end OF
the second ten miles. The company
is now trying to collect up all
amounts due from subscribers to its
1st mortgage bonds. We are in
formed that with what is unpaid on
the 1st and End calls that the Sd and
4th calls make the amount due from
subscribers about fifty thousand
dollars. Our people want the road
to begin to bring freight and pas
sengers and every one who can do so
should promptly pay his calls. 1t
will help to push the work forward.
We do not know of any other road
which is now being built in the
State and we are glad to see this one
being pushed on despite the hard
times which seems to have stopped
work on all other public enterprise.

Have you ever noticed the long
horns on grasshoppers, beetles and

what they hear with-that is, it seems
so. If you watch some of them when
they hear a noise you will see them
stretch out the feelers. They keep
them motionless, as if they were lis
tening. When the noise is over they
will move them about again care
