WHAT'SlN A NAME.

Banner: Gen Quarles' idea of over.
coming the objections to caucus by
calling it Conference" is somewhat
refreshing, TO be sure. 1t was the i'm
mortal bard who said "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet" or
words to that effect, and it may be as
truly said that caucus by any other
name will SAVIOR of the machine. A
conference with gag in it would be a
caucus. A conference without the gag
would be meeting merely for the ex-
preston OF opinions and could not
bind any one. 1t is the gag that makes
caucus and when you bring the gag
into use, you have caucus no matter
by what delusively innocent name you
may call it.
The gag which the Banner fears is
just what the Democrats will apply,
not to Democrats but to men who
claim to be Democrats and who would
unite with the radicals to defeat any
man who is a Democrat. The gag
ought to be placed on all men who are
seeking alliance with radical aspirants
AS for the radical aspirants themselves,
of course, they oppose Democratic
caucus:

THE Tobacco LeJ Of the 2lst has
half column editorial attempting to ex-
plain its nondescrpt position on the
Senatorial question. 1t says: &
Now, the CHRONICLE itself, in its is
sue OF the 18th inst, had two or three
paragraphs mentioning the candidacy
Of Gov. Bate for this self same Office,
and in one OF them it was urged that
the Senatorship was due the Governor
from the Tennessee Democracy. Are
we to infer from these paragraphs TINT
the CHRONICLE is not loyal to Col.
House?
The editor OF the CHRONICLE is a
great strickler for following the die
tates Of county Democratic conventions
since he came to Tennessee.
The editor Of the Tobacco Leaf either
don't know aquotation when he sees it,
or else wilfully misstates what the
CHRONICLE contained in regard to Gov.
Bate. We clipped and republished
what some of our exchanges said Of
Gov. Bate just as we repeated what the
editor OF the Tobacco Leaf said about
Judge Sneed, and the Leaf might as
well say that we are advocating the
cause OF Judge Sneed. The uncalled
for personal fling contained in the ex-
preston, ''since he came to Tennes-
see," is something of which the editor
of the Tobacco Leaf ought, in justice to
himself, to be heartily ashamed, AL
though we show up the inconsistency
OF his editorial position we have never
written line of personal unkindhess.
The editor OF the Leaf ought to know
that inuendo is the last resort OF the
wicked. If the Leaf editor means
bloodshed he will meet us at the Max
well House in Nashville on the 3rd OF
January.

AN esteemed contemporary says: i;
is believed that the penitentiary lease
system WILDE at olished by the next
Legislature. The question will arise
What shall be done with the convicts :?
A plan for utilizing the convict labor
is proposed by the editor OF the Union.
1t is to employ the convicts in build
ing state railroad from Memphis to
Bristol We cannot say whether such q
proposition would meet with public
favor.
The old man OF the Union may not
be interested, and there may be no
connection between the two suggestions
of leasing the convicts and building the
road, but still it reminds one Of the
Drummer story that when the Savior
was led out OF Jerusalem by an indi-
vidual who claimed to own largely in
real estate, and was offered all of it, on
conditions, and refused the offer, q
bystander OF speculative turn OF mind,
who had been listening, stepped w

from Nazareth declines the proposition,

posed to thing he don't hesitate to
tell the people what he thinks. In last

his preference for United States Senator
Gov. Bate is true to his friends. He
is man of pure character and exalted
manhood. He has borne the burdens
of Democracy FOR years. He is entitled
to some OF the rewards. The logic OF
the present political crisis is to send
him 10 the United States Senate.

lands for Indians

Washington, Aug. 31-Acting Com
missioner Upshaw, of the Indian office
has issued the following letter of in.
structions to agents upon the various
reservations where, under existing laws
and treaty s%tipnlationa, allotments OF
lands in severalty may be made:
1.-THE business of a,lotting and patent
ing lands to Indians should be pressed
with the utmost vigor; the Indian is
awakening to the Importance OF indivi-
dual ownership in the soil, and agents
must foster and encourage this feeling
by all means in their power. The Indian
asks for a paper title for his land, and
with that in his possession has some
guarantee that the land he improves
will not be taken from HIM. The Indians
must be impressed with the fact that il
they desire to make their stay upon
their reservations sure and stable they
must take up their lands and get q
regular title to them from the govern
ment."
Mr.. Upshaw said to-day that many
tribes are now clamerous for allotments
and patents as they were formerly ten
acious of holding all lands in common.
