To the Chronicle:
Messrs. S. A. Caldwell, T. H. Hyman
and r. II. Pickering came down last
Friday to take a squirrel hunt and
were met at the depot by Mr.. Enos.
Harmed with horses. They went to
the river bottom, and having seventy
rounds of cartridges each, began the
destruction of small game. Their
guns echoed long and loud, to the
wonder of the people across the river,
some OF whom came over the next
day to learn the cause of such heavy
firing. AT shutdown the party found
they had only one cartridge apiece,
(207 shots fred) they returned in time
for the evening train. Result, forty
eight squirrels, four birds, one coon
and lots of fun.
When Squire Caldwell lived down
here several years ago, he and Mr..
Harmed were great hunters, and could
kill more squirrels than any two men
ever matched against them 1t is said
if they found a squirrel too high up
to shoot, they would surround the
tree and look the squirrel out of coun-
tenance.
The patent Incubator has been laid
in the shade by lady in this neigh
borhood, who Matched some goslings
by carrying the eggs in her bosom.
Mr.. Sam Jones will vouch for the truth
of this.

To thinking man it looks like
there must necessarily be a readjust-
ment of political parties in the United
States mt no distant day. Talk ms much
as You please about the fundamental
differences. the dividing line between
the Republicans and Democrats has
been sectional line. A line drawn
on issues growing out of the negro
question, and its corolary, the so-called
Southern question. These matters
are settled; even John Sherman says
80, the country recognizes the fact and
the Democratic success was all that
was needed to consummate it.
Politicians have been beating the
bushes for some time TO find a live is.
sue that divides the parties, but so far
their efforts have been Intellectual. The
tariff question, which has largely occu-
pied the attention of the country, was
fixed on for this purpose. but it failed
to adapt itself to such a usage. Even
Henry Watterson had to acknowledge
that 1T was no factor in the late CAM
paign and Jim Blaine dropped it to
resort to the old time bloody shirt
rawlings. The chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee was pro-
nounced protectionist and the Repub-
lican administration now in power
shows a leaning to the exclusively rev.
,enue idea. 1t is highly probable that
Mr.. Clevelands first message may
show less inclination to free trade than
the one recently sent in by President
Arthur. slim
Two important commercial treaties
that to some extent involve the tariff
question are going to command atten-
ton and bills relating to silver coinage
are coming in for a share of public
consideration. All OF these measures
viii be supported and opposed by
both Democrats and Republicans with
out regard to party. The Blair educa-
tional bill will have like treatment;
as it had in the Senate last session.
New issues are bound to be formed
out of such matters and they viii be
issues that are live and breathing.
The differences that formerly divided
the parties are dead and it seems to be
a logical sequence OF the present status
of American politics that readjust-
ment OF parties is inevitable.
The course OF events forms issues,
and issues make parties. Parties can
not, like polemic bodies, choose the
questions over which they will dispute
The questions suggest themselves and
parties are formed because it is i'm
possible Tor all men to think alike
Men who had the same ideas about
negro suffrage, and other matters re-
l.tlng to the South, may very naturally
differ concerning the tariff.
Political anarchy and general confu-
sion may be the first result Of the
breaking up of old parties and some
three or four Presidential tickets, each
commanding respectable support,
may not be improbable four years
hence; but there will be a gradual
disqualification of all these elements
into two opposing bodies. One thing
it is safe to prophecy: unless there is
an unexpected revival of sectionalism
by the Bourbon Republicans, the Solid
South is thing of the past and the
color line will be no more. That is
truly contamination devoutly 10 be
wished. - 80 ...-

THE political agitation in England,
which threatened the existence of the
House of Lords and all the props and
stays of English aristocracy, has been
bridged over by compromise, ar
ranged between Gladstone and Sauls-

the franchise bill through the upper
branch OF Parliament. The bill con-
fers the right of suffrage on a large

THE Nashville Banner of Monday
told a story of a negro. a hog and 3
fence which is intensely tragic and
interesting, but needs little elucida-
ton, The Banners says: SIT is sup
posed that in trying to get over the
fence with the hog on his shoulder,
the negro fell, striking his aeck across
the top rail, breaking it" That was
terrible on the rail, or the hog. but it
appears elsewhere in the narrative that
the negro was dead when found, and
the mystery is what killed him.
