MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Some of our Democratic exchanges
are going into Mysteries about "the at
tack that is being made on Mrs, Blaine
and her children" Sucha thing would
be truly reprehensible and couldn't be
too much condemned.
But nothing of the kind has been
done so far rs we have been able to
observe. Blaine has himself dragged
his unfortunate family before the pub
lie and it is his conduct in this regard
that is meeting 50 much censure.
The allegations of the Indianapolis
Sentinel concerning his early life
would have fallen still-born on the
public ear but for his sensational suit
for SANDER. His boldness in bringing
this suit invited public scrutiny. He
assumed dramatic attitude that was
as much as to say, behold my vindica-
ton from this slanderous charge, But
what has the result been? Driven to
the wall, and forced to a virtual con-
fession, he seeks to hide his shame be-
hind cowardly lie that would dis
grace horse thief among his fellows.
Mrs. Blaine and her family are in
deed deserving of sympathy, but none
is due the perjured wretch that brought
this shame on them. If such fragrant
falSehOOd as this which the candidate
himself flung before the public is not
to be commented ON, and will not eff
feet his chances of election, what in
the name of honor and truth will?

Republican Rottennness.

The Springer investigation com
nlittee after looking into. the Uni
ted States Marshall system, report
it rotten to the core. The report
signed by all the Democratic MEM
bers of the committee contains the
following: sc a. as &
The testimony before the commits
tee clearly shows that utter ineffi-
cheney and criminal practices have
prevailed in many parts of this
branch of the public service for
many years past, aid that the gov
eminent has been 4 heavy loser
thereby. There is SameEess, as
also a variety, in the testimony.
Phe Investigation reveals the won
derful unanImity with which these
officers of almost every grade and
in the several portions of he coun-
try have plundered the public treas
ury by false, fraudulent and ficti-
tiOus charges, yet the variety in the
ways and means in which they have
worked their schemes is equally
curious, and shows they have taxed
their ingenuity TO the utmost to
find modes of accomplishing the
one unhalloWed purpose of getting
money, they were not entitled to.
They charged for arrests not made,
for travel not performed, for expen-
SEES not incurred, for guards not en-
ployed. They knowingly rendered
false accounts against the govern
ment, misappropriated public funds,
became defaulters to the govern
ment and to the courts, increased
accounts after they were made up,
rendered accounts in the names of
fictitious persons, arrested persons
upon false charges worked up by
themselves, eXtorted money from
private parties, and in ways with
out number have swindled the gov
eminent and oppressed the people.

ATTENTION. DEMOCRATS.

We hope there win be no apathy
among Tennessee Democrats in the
coming election. This is presiden-
tial year and we have the same old
enemy confronting us that we have SO
long opposed. The prospect of defeat
ing him is better than ever before,
and every Democrat should do his
duty.
There is no danger whatever of this
State being lost TO the Democracy, but
that fact should not deter any Demo-
erat from voting and exerting himself
to increase the party's strength.
Houk and other Republican leaders
have led theirparty to believe that they
can carry Tennessee this fall The
story is now being proclaimed from
the stump in numerous Northern
States and some who are not acquaint-
ed with the political complexion of
things down this way, are probably
duped into believing it is true.
For the Republicans to assert such
thing as this is rank impudence and
an insult to the manhood of Tennes-
see Democracy. Such result would
indicate complete somersault in the
political opinion of nearly twenty
thousand men in this State, and with
out any cause for such yacillation, it
SANDERS them to suppose that it has
occurred. $500 tH
This is bragadocio on the part OF the
Republican leaders, but they are exert
ing themselves to the utmost to make
some showing for their assertions. A
branch of the National Committee has
been established at Nashville and will
spend money freely to accomplish its
ends. Republican orators, now at
work in the State. are trying by subtle
means to capture votes at every point
where Democrats are dissatisfied. The
party has discarded its old leaders and
nominated -an ex-Confederate for Gov
ernor, in order to win the affection of
the old soldiers.
These movements should be COM
batted by earnest efforts on the part of
the Democrats. Every man who
claims adherence to the party should
not only vote but work, and there will
be no difficulty about rolling up the
usual majority in November.

DR.. Barbee's Sermon Last Night on the
"a. Pursuit of Happiness. ss.,s
srs Nasbx,flla a. A marion n, ~.
Rev.J. d. Ba,d}ee. ofMcKen,lree


Rev.J. d.. Baitjee, Of Nick endree
Church preached an excellent SER
mon on "Happiness," in which he
took the ground that one Of the
main objects in view by the Creator
in creating man was that man
might be happy. God was both IA
Their and mother to the human race,
and joyed as much 10 see it happy
as the earthly father and mother de-
lighted in the pleasure of their chill
dren.
The first requisite for happiness
was for person to be in the right
place, to be an enthusiast in his
business or profession. No man
could be happy who is out of his
sphere. Only such enthusiasm as
made1ife secondary to success was
worth anything. 1t would not do
for man, however, to pursue happi-
ness, to make a business of seeking
it ; this would only make titan ignis
iatuuS that lured on and ON but
never came within the grasp. The
forgeIful of self, the enthusiastic,
steady workers of the world, were
the only happy ones. Enthusiasm
in living right lives, doing good to
Others, doing the duties of the sue
ceeding days earnestly and with re-
gard to the divine injunctions of
holy writ, this pointed the way to
the only true happiness. People
must be good from higher princi
pie than the fear of punishment or
the desire Of reward TO be truly
happy.

Moro Evidence Against Blaine.

The evidence that Blaine is a cor.
rupt man still accumulates. The
latest is an old story revied, but it
is nevertheless Il clincher. Mr..
James F. JOY, president of the
WOrbash railroad told it in 1880, but
as he presented BIaine's name to
the Chicago. convention of that year
it was hushed up. This is the story
as Mr.. JOY first told it:
ale was in Washington during
| the winter of lS69-70 in the interest
of the venworth, Lawrence and
| Galveston Railroad The road had
been given a ktrge land grant, the
most valuable part of which was
claimed to be covered by a prior
grant by treaty to the Great and
Little Usage Indians. a House
committee Of Investigation was to
be appointed to inquire into this.
Mr.. Joy was confident of the legal
rights of his company as against
this claim. He sent word to Mr..
Blaine, asking him to appoint on
the committee one lawyer of high
reputation. He did not care
whether the man was a Democrat
or Republican. Mr.. Blaine made
no promise at the time, but the
next day an intimate friend Of his
came to Mr.. JOY and said to him
that If he, Mr., JOY, would take
from Mr.. Blaine $25, 900 in the
bonds of the Little Rock and Fort
Ia Dni of or
would make up the committee as
far as possible just as Mr.. JOY wish
ell it to be made up. Mr.. Joy said
that he was so confident of the mer-
It's of his case that even if he had
been disposed to make the bargain
the price was entirely too high for
the service to be rendered. He de-
clined the proposition"
Henry Ward Beecher says while
on a visit to Detroit several years ago
he WAS a guest at Mr.. joys house.
Mr.. Blaine's name came up IN CON
versati0n, whereupon Mr.. JOY said
that he knew Mr.. Blaine to be
corrupt man, giving as his reason
the story as told above.
Mr.. Beecher adds that, having
used these facts in public address,
he received, a few days afterward,
a message from Mr.. Blaine begging
him to call at the Fifth avenue HO-
tel. lie did so, and Mr.. Blaine
asked him his authority for the
statement. He gave the details of
his talk with MIR. joy, and Mr..
Blaine said "Mr. Beecher, see
how impossible that is. Why, Mr..
Joy nominated me at Chicago"
Mr. Beecher replied with some heat |
asking Mr.. Blaine If he meant to |
intimate that he Mr.. Beecher) was
telling falsehood in quoting Mr.. |
joys statement. Oh, no." said |
Mr.. Blaine, "but Mr.. Joy must have
been mistaken" Mr.. Blaine did |
not make any further effort to deny
the general statement. 1t is said
that great pressure was brought 10
bear on Joy to make him present
BIaine's name to the Chicago con-
vention.

II see you have declined 10 join
in Il discussion OF the railroad COM
mission law with Col. John Saw

YES" replied the Judge, 1--WE
have declined the proposition"
"Will you state your reason for
| this action ?"
"Certaluly. You see we were
nominated as candidates by the con
ventiOn without our consent or
knowledge. We, and in fact the
Republican parry, are supposed to
| the law and our nomination Was
simply ii means of bringing the is
sue before the people and let them
say whether they favored commits
sion or not. In our opposition to
the law we could see no other way
of getting the question before the
people,"
"If you were elected, would you
expect to hold the Office ?"
'tOf course not neither of Us eyer
expected to hold tine place; in fact,
if the Republicans get n minority
certain that the law will be repeal
ed, and then on the other hand, il
the Dtmocratshavethe majority aud
we aretelected, they will repeal
the law. I'VE Believe the law un-
constitutional and void, and its en-
actment was a deliberate effort To
make War on the railroads, with a
view of rewarding certain partisan
leaders that it was a direct strike
at tie prosperity and progress of
our cuurtry, and as far as possible
was Intended TO break down the |
building of railroads."
"NOw, entertaining these views, |
we permitted our names to 70 be-
fore the people of Tennessee, ethat |
they might have means of eX-
pressing in II way not to be misun=

to have been created"

THE Philadelphia Times says !:
"Mr. Blaine is still swinging round
the circle, and the boys aud the
office-holders are still furnishing the
cheers. The magnetic candidate
makes good many speeches, in
which he is careful to say as near
nothing as possible. Taffy for the
farmers at country fairs and taffy
for the workmen in manufacturing
towns is being distributed with
liberal hand. Mr.. Blaine is evil

Accepting the Settlement.
Nashville American.

az
In addition to the 5000, 900 worth
of Tennessee State bonds sent to
the Funding Board by Eugene KEEL
ly, of New York, last Saturday,
Comptroller p. Z. Pickard has re-
ceived $500, 900 more from John B.
Manning & Co., of New York.
These bonds We're all funded under
the 60 act, and Mr.. Kelly has been
one of those who has heretofore
stoutly maintained that he would
not accepta settlement at less than
60-3.s His sending in such a large
lot of bonds to be funded is very
encouraging, in view of the fact
than they are all to be funded in
sos bonds, which Mr.. Kelly and
other New York holders have de-
clared they would never have.
