NATIONAL AID.

There are some newspapers in Ten
nessee that seem to deem it their re-
ligious duty not 10 agree with Senator
Howell E. Jackson on any public
question They differed with him on
the dead debt issue, and propose to
treat everything else that he may ad-
vocate as rank heresy.
OF course, there are only few pa
pers of this radical type, and it would
be idle to look among their ranks for
n journal that has established any rep
utation for sound and conservative
course.
The Memphis Appeal, though differ
ing with Senator Jackson on the debt
question, and probably other issues
that have arisen in Tennessee, endorses
his advocacy of National aid to educa-
ton and pays his recent unanswerable
speech on that subject the following
tribute
The great speech of Senator Howell
f. JaCkSOn on the Necessity lOr euer-
al aid to public education, which was
published in the Appeal of yesterday
complete, was the topic Of the town,
and it was generally agreed that it was
one Of the ablest speeches ever made in
the State on any topic at any time; and
1t was also agreed that it would fix the
status of Mr. jackson in the hearts and
minds OF the people of the State as a
man who is an honor and credit to
them in the place he fills in the UNI
ted States Senate. Elected to that
place under circumstances as surpris-
ing to himself us to the people of the
State, and SO jumping, as we might
say, at "A bound, into the highest legis-
lative position possible in the country
without previous preparation, test or
trial, he justifies in this speech his elec-
ton, even If he had not by his pTevi-
Ously conservative conduct in the
Senate. Not only the Democrats but
men OF all parties can feel just pride
in u man who thus evidences the pos
session of the highest ability, and ex-
erclses IT IN pressing upon the atten-
ton of his constituents the most inn
pOrtmt measure that can be urged
in Congress for their benefit and adj

SELLS BROfHERS' ENORMOUS RAILROAD
SHOWS UNITED IN ONE GREAT
CONFEDERATION.
The LARGEST show N the Worlo.

This splendid, popular and most
honorably conducted Menagerie, Cir
Gus, Caravan and Museum, rumors of
whose coming have already created
much comment, is at last positively
announced to give afternoon and even
ing entertainments in GAINESVILLE, on
Saturday September &c. This stupen-
dous combination of leading Railroad
Shows is meeting this season with pat
ronage so extraordinary that the man.
agement have been frequently COM
PEELED to give three exhibitions day
in order to accommodate the immense
crowds in attendance. Excursions are
arranged on the different railroads
from all points within a radius of fifty
miles from the place of exhibition, and
the instances are rare when the trains
do not come in crowded TO their ca
pacity with visitors. Their tents, al
though the greatest both in number
and magnitude of any show travelling,
are frequently found inadequte to
hold the people, and in order to give
the varied programme in detail, and
without emitting any of its features,
the management find their many acres
of canvass to be an absolute necessity.
The pair of huge blood-sweating
hippopotami owned by Messrs. Sells
are the only pair in the entire world,
and the only pair that have been ex-
hibited, or probably ever will be. They
are truly the bchemoths Of holy writ,
the wonderful scriptllral marvels de-
scribed in holy Job. Tho herds of
girafies owned by Messrs. Sells are also
curiosities greater than any owned by
any other show. The entire world of
animals, in fact, include wonders rare
and strange from all families of the
quadruped world. The all-star list of
200 Iirst-claSs performers is an unequ-
aled galaxy of superior merit, and
leads anything which we have ever
seen or heard Of the known world
POO artists, and every artist star. In
word, the circus and menagcrie are
superior to any other travelling ur,
tented exhibition OF which anything is
known, and will, we are confident,
meet with surprising success here.

TOBACCO FACTORIES.

Durham, n. c., tobacco manufac-
turing town, shows remarkable deyel-
opement. Twenty years ago it was a
small hamlet, with but ninety inhabi-
tants, and total valuation of property
was only $4,000. A recently completed
census shows population OF $50, and
the assessed valuation of the property
is given at s3OO0,OO0.
Why can't GAINESVILLE have big to-
bacco factory, or two or three institu-
tons OF the kind II such industries
have done so much for Durham they
ought to do equally as much for this
place if put in operation here.
We might have factory for the
manufacture of smoking tobacco, an
other for the manufacture OF chewing
tobacco, another to turn out snuff, &c.
Why shouldn't all the tobacco that
is exported from Clar ksville be manu-
featured before it is sent away and the
profit made from manufacturing kept
at home?
Mr.. E. B. Ross has met with fine
success in manufacturing tobacco on a
comparatively small scale at Rossview,
in this county. He could probably
be induced to move his factory to
GAINESVILLE. If not, he has furnished
an example to Others of what may be
done here.
We would be glad to hear of some
movement in this direction.

A FLIMsY CHARGE.

The enemies of the Administration.
have been summing up what they call
its mistakes, and in the list OF alleged
blunders we find the following SHAN
non, postmaster at Meridian, Miss,
wrote an editorial attacking Grants
character"
Now, in the name OF American lib
erty, when did il become a requisite
qualification for Office that the appli-
cant should admire some particular
man over whom the nation is pleased
20 gush. How many Democratic edit
ors are there in the United States who
haven't attacked Grants character p
Who does not remember when the
cry was anybody to beat Grant" and
has any one forgotten the old talk
about @Ceasarism," The man on horse
back" etc.
Now, in the better light of calm re-
Election, it is generally conceded that
Gen. Grant had an honest nature, and
many great qualities, but can no dis
sent be allowed to the popular verdict !?
Must our boosted freedom of speech
be suppressed by the enthusiasm of
hero worship?
Some people extol Gen. Grant with
undue adulation; others would apply
to him the phrase with which Disreali
described Sir Robert Peel-@sublime
mediocrity,n and still others would
put very low estimate both on his
taients and character, but what has
either opinion to do with its owners
qualifications for handling mail mat
teri
Does anybody know or care what the
postmaster at Meridian has said about
Washington Is his opinion OF Grant
any more essential to the proper dis
charge of his official duties
Maybe the Meridian man lived dur
ing the war in that section of Missis-
lppi which Gen. Grant laid waste to
prevent Its giving support to the Con-
federacy. II so, he would be some
what excusabIe for taking pundiced
view of the old hero's character.
The carpers and critics are certain
ly put to a sad strait when they are
forced to such complaints as this
against the administration.

BOARD or HEALTH MEETING.


A meeting Of the Board Of Health
was held Friday morning in the Office
of DR.. G. w. Beaumont. All OF the
physicians OF the city were invited to
be present, and the following attended
DIR. c. W. Bailey, DR.. Beaumont, DIR.
Trawick. DR.. Herring, DIR. Carney, DR..
Wilson, DIR. Johnson, DR. Massic and
DR. MarabIe.
The purpose OF The meeting WAS to
ascertain the amount Of diptheria now
prevailing in CIarksville
The following facts were arrived at !:
There have been II cases III the city
since the first of August. II whites and
80 blacks. Within this time there
have been ) deaths among the whites
and among the blacks. There are
six cases now on hand.
This report includes the city and
suburbs, probably the entire 18th dis
trict.
1t was determined by the Board and
physicians present, with one dissent
ing voice, that the state of the disease
does not require the closing of the
public schools, and that it would be
inadvisable for them to suspend at
present.

The following paragraph occurred
m the American of a few davs agO.

HE following paragraph occurred
in the American of few days ago:
Ten days since it WAS not deemed
possible for the senate bill, " abridging
the power of the Georgia commission
TO become a law But one of those
humiliating changes" which the peo-
pile Of Tennessee have so frequently
observed seems to be taking place.
Great newspapers have suddenly
Hoped"
In its issue of less than week later
it says:
But, looking at the Georgia commits
sion, with its present powers, simply
as a mechanism of railroad regulation,
we confess that we should not like to
see it duplicated in Tennessee. The
Georgia commission, as we understand
1t has absolute power to fix rates.
One day the American accuses the
Atlanta Constitution of being bribed
because it advocated that abridgement
of the Georgia commissions powers
which the American itself next day
thinks would be proper. According
to its own logic the Americans "flop"
is in consequence of its being bought.

wINNowINe THE WORTHY.


The Nashville American declares
that the Clarkvsille Democrat is the
only truly Democratic newspaper
disagreeing with it on the one conven-
ton idea This shovels anothea lot OF
papers out OF the party that have here
tofore prided themselves on being
acceptable in all things
There is brother Enloe, OF the Trib-
une and Sun, whom they speak of for
Governor, thrown away out in the
cold; Capt. Harvey Mathes, OF the
Memphis Ledger, who once bolted the
party to support Frank Wilson for
Governor, but has otherwise adhered
to its teachings most religiously, and
has served several terms in the Legis-
lature as Democratic member, is ala
beied an Independent" The Johnson
City Comet, in whose sanctum the
orthodox Bob Taylor was won't to pre-
side, can no longer be counted in the
fold Of the faithful. The Brownsville
States and Bee, that has some times
returned thanks that it was not in the
ranks OF the wicked adisruptionists,D is
sent out to form new associations, and
the dear old Somerville Falcon, that
had rather die than willingly do any
thing deemed undemocratic, is ruth
lessly cast aside.
These are only few of the sufferers.
The list might be made long one.
And for what are these papers and
their editors pronounced untrue to the
party? Theyare not all among those
wicked fifty-six that fought the good
Saint Savage with cold Scratch" Those
have long ago been cast out. But these
papers are pronounced unleal to party
because, forsooth, they refuse to follow
the dictates of the American in de-
parting from a time honored party
usage and won't subscribe to its civil
rights commission heresy.
To follow the dictum of Mr.. John J.
Vertrees is the only true Democracy
according to the American.

A NEGRO man went into the resi-
dence of Mrs. Martha Lane in Leba-
non, Tenn, Saturday night and struck
her violent blow on the head with a
rock. She ran faint and bleeding into
her kitchen and informed the cook of
what had been done, and then fell I'M
conscious to the floor. Mrs. Lane was
a wealthy widow lady aged so years.
The negro who assaulted her escaped.
His object is thought to have been rob-
berry, though it has not been discovered
that he stole anything.
