On the Wing to New Orleans

Prof. Smith and wife, Mr.. Dick
Gordon and the writer left Lynn
vile for the exposition last Monday.
The country presented a diversified
appearance. Now cultivated fields
aud now rocky wastes; now q sea of
pines and now an anphitheater of
hills. At times old nature was spe-
cislly attractive. Hills high and
lifted up, with rock-ribbed sides,
and serpentine waters flow
ing over its bosom were frequent.
At one place we saw trees which
had fallen PROSTATE before the
storm King. A few weeks before
the angel of death had spread his
wings upon the blast and more
than one household fell beneath its
dead hand.
Swan Lake, Tennessee River with
its fullness of water, Warrior River
with it's placid bosom, and other
minor streams were passed over.
The farther south we went the rosi-
er was the cheek of nature, the
fresher her form. A garland of
flowers hung about her neck and
the fragrance of health fell from b er
lips.
The places through which we
passed interested us: Athens, be-
cause of it's name; Decatur, because
Of historic remembrance; Hartsell
because of its recent origin; Gull
man because Of it's Dutch popula-
ton, 1900 in n umber-on one side
Of the road were many hotels, and
on the ether numbers of bar-rooms.
with its varied indus
tries and its hum of life and its city
like appearance. The passengers all
along the route were genial. A
young man alternated his visits be-
tween his lady-loVe and a bottle in
the rear of the coach. Suddenly
the stopper came out with the crack
of rife to the great merriment OF
his companions. A stern cid gentle
man bought and eat sandwich and
was asked to buy another. ''De you

may not be out of place. G. w. En-
glish on the south side is a well-to-

farming well done, having improved
the old Johnny English place until

Mobley and John Morris fall live

merchant, does a good business and
keeps the rendezvous for the boys
who meet there wet days and spin
yarns and spit. Jacob Yokely is
improving his place greatly, and
when he finishes his barn and house
it will be one of the prettiest places
on Big creek. Owen Gray lives a
little way out of town in a neat cot

The legislature adjourned Friday,
the republican, senators remaining
out. They were found Wednesday
locked in rooms of the Maxwell.
Guards were placed at their doors
to arrest them if they ventured out.
The democrats would not accept
their proposition and promise to
waive consideration OF the registra-
ton bill if they would come out.
The course of the democrats was
manly, upright and patriotic. The
republicans, defantly foreswearing
themselves in violating the consti-
tuition they swore to uphold, assume
the responsibility of cutting off the
money supplies for the governmental
machinery, blocking legislation, de
feating numerous needed laws that
were just in process of final perfec-
ton, opening a gate for flood of
litigation when the laws actually
passed and not approved by the
governor before the quorum was
broken come to be enforced, and
precipitating more spite and venom
into politics. The republicans are
going back to Brownlow practices
They had been held down to decen-
cy SO long by the democracy that
they were coming almost to be re-
spected, but they now wantonly
forfeit all claims to respect and in
vite censure. We believe this revo
lutionary proceeding will be efec
tive to cement democracy more
strongly together and has swept
away the strong probability Of
Tennessee becoming a republican
state. We cannot afford to let ouI
affairs fall into the hands of unprin
cipled men. The old, spite
full, defiant, lawless, oppressive spir-
it of BrownloW times actuates the
repu blicans. in Tennessee again. We
must strangle the party that would
geIback to such infamous practices.
Senators Rowan and Kercheval held
themselves aloof from the recalci.
trants and were subjected,to rssolu-
tions of censure. All honor to
| them.

Porter Jumps on WhitthOrne.
Gen. Whitthorne was interviewed
in Washington last week on ''The
Tennessee Muddle," giving a short
history of the debt settlement ques-
ton and its bearing upon recent
events at Washington in the APP
pointment of Gov. Porter. He
winds up his remarks with the state
ment that the following of Senator
Jackson and Gov. Porter in Tennes-
see is represented by the difference
in Bates and Cleveland's vote
about 4000 In other words, that
the state credit idea has only 1000
adherents. The interview is in
tended to show how unanimously
the democrats of Tennessee do not
endorse Gov. Porter. To this inter

Southern Sympathy.

The resolutions of respect and
sympathy for Gen. Grant offered by
William Preston johnson, son of
Albert Sidney .Johnsoa,and adopted
by the veterans of the Confederate
army of Tennessee, were worthy of
the spirit OF the chivalrous com
nander of the attacking army at
Shiloh and of the men who formed
his line of battle, and will touch a
respective chord of kindness and
gratitude in the heart of every In
ion veteran, and, doubt not, moisten
the eye of the dying soldier, which
has not bleached at the face of
death.-Providence Journal-Ren.
