The Louisville Times Of the 18th Of

August says:
Joe Mulhatton pleads lack Of MALI
cious intent in his late story, in which
he exploded a natural gas cave in
Breckenridge county, and desires it to
be known that he regrets having
caused pain or sorrow to any one. 1t
has been a characteristic OF Mulhat-
tons former stories that they we're
harmless, and this last one and the de-
served criticism it evoked, viii proba-
bly, teach him To return to the we'll
worn track in which he won his .noto-
riety rs The first and greatest OF Amer
lean liars so long as he remains
therein he is harmless; when he gets
out Of il he may expect criticism, and, /,
if he. become too personal, something
more substantial. We shall observe
closely his promised reformation.

In 1876 the Republican vote OF
Tennessee was 9o,566. In 1884 it was
134,070. If these figures do not con-
vey warning to the Democratic party
it must be deaf and blind to all danger.
L. it has learned nothing from the ex-
perience of the past four years there is
little prospect of # ever learning any,
thing, for there is no hope for the pu-
pill that fails to learn in the school of
experience. With united front the
Democratic party in Tennessee is in
vincilbe. Divided into factions and
harassed by factional prejudices and
chickering's, it is in danger of defeat.
While there is not such a great divis-
ion of the ranks as the columns of
some of the factional newspapers
seem to indicate yet there is not that
degree of harmony that should pre-
vail to insure Democratic success in
the next State election. The hostili-
ties between factions must cease, petty
chickering's and quarrels abandoned
and Democratic division succeeded by
harmony and unity of action or the
Republican party, well-organized and
working in close and steady unison,
as it is, will capture the State in the
next election. The Wing has taken
no part in the factIonal controversies
that have been and are being INDUCED
IN by some of the newspapers of the
State. 1t can see no good in such dis
cussions and its columns will continue
TO be free from the agitation Of those
questions which though unimportant
in themselves Tend by the agitation
and discussion of them to create only
dissension and division. Let us hvae
peace, gentlemen. Let us have unity
and harmony in the ranks and we have
nothing to fear from the Republican
ensmy.-IRest Tennessee IVhig.

What ProhibItionists Seek.

We seek the destruction OF the rum
traffic, but not the hurt OF any party;
but woe be to him or to that agency
that stands in the way Of the prohibit
ton reform. An aroused citizenship
is backing the movement with the
best thought and faith found among
American freemen. 1t is no sectional,
but national revolt against whisky.

LETTER FROM LouDouN.

Correspondence OF the Alexandra GAZETIE.)
LEEsBURG, Va, May 49, We said some
time since, III letter from this place, that
we have 10 ulIice seekers, and the mysteri
Gus ways of the President excited no COM
ment; but things are changed, forbearance
has ceased to be a virtue, and mutterings
are not loud, but deep. Not that these
mutteriugs come from disappointed Office
seekers, but our people generally are sick
with hope deferred Did we elect demo
cratic President that we should he afflicted
with Mahoneite postmaster here. at Ham
ilton, Round Hill and other places we could
name? No. It'was TO get rid of all such
that we voted aud worked for democratic
success. Yet our postmaster holds on and
cIiticizes the acts of the administration, and
obeys the behests of Boss Billy as boldly as
though his tenure of Office was for life. At
Hamilton aud Round Hill the Offices are
still formed out as in the palmy days of the
z. O. D., while at Waterford the people
groan because they are afflicted With one
who is certainly sadly deficient in knoWi.
edge of two or three, as 'readin' and ritln."

pertineutly ask, what good thing comes OF
YOUR bourbonism. Turn the rascals out"
was the battle cry last fall, and yet they are
holding ON and drawing pay to the exclu.
sion of the good and true men who fought
the battle under the above watchword. We
venture to say that considering her position
in the Sth Congressional district Loudoun
has bad under democratic influence less rec.
ocnitiou than any county or city in the dis
trict.
One thing we are unanimous on here, and
that is FilZ Lee for Governor. The ex SOL
diers are enthusiastic for him, and the peo-
ple generally are in favor of him. So give
us Gen. Fitz for Governor, and we will tor

congratulations upon his successful manage

Young, somebody will have to get out of the
way, ere long, for he is sure to come to the

an entrance by cutting with a knife through
panel of the back door, which opens on
the rear entrance to the Opera House. A
hole was cut just large enough to admit the
burglars hand, and by this means the door
was unlocked and opened. Nothing was
stolen, however, go far as known, and IT ls
supposed that the burglars We're scared OIL
before they had time to carry away any
