An Old Soldiers Views.

From the Grceneville Republican we
copy the following letter written to that
journal by a member of Gen. Gillem's
brigade:

has never been unmindful of or migrate.
full to, those who fought her battles; and
on the Republican ticket, at least, the
soldier Is usually represented in proper
ton to his number. II Is well thus TO
acknowledge the debt Of gratitude that
can never be fully discharged. OF course,
the fact Of serving in the army. without
the accompanying fact Of fitness for the
functions to be assumed, constitutes no
claim; but, with that accompanying fact,
a very strong claim. All Of the gentle
men recently nominated for the various
offices in this district are capable, and
many Of them present to the people the
sacrifices upon the field. The people Of
all parties, in general, and the ex soldiers,
in particular, are highly fortunate In the
nomination OF such gentlemen as the Re-
publican ticket comprises. John p.
Smith and Col. A. j. Brown were faith
full soldiers and John w. Brown, A. A.
Taylor and II. It. Campbell, are devoted
TO the soldier and the cause that he
espoused. What has just been said Of
these gentlemen Is equally true Of the
gentlemen who compose the Greene
county ticket. While / feel competent
to testify TO the patriotism and worth Of
the whole ticket. l may be pardoned for
speaking more particularly Of Col. A.. ].
Brown, with whom l served in Gen. A.
G. Gillem's brigade. A brave man Is al.
ways o conscientious man. Only con.
scientious men are fit for important, and,
especially judicial trusts. Col. Brown is
both brave and conscientious. l saw his

INTEREST in the coming August election
seems to be awakening On all sides. We
would urge upon Republicans that they
put their shoulders to the wheel and show
what they can do for their ticket. 1t is q
good one; and, as the party has a major
lily of the voters as its members, the Of
fees belong by virtue Of that majority to
them. Let us make a strong, effort to
swell this majority to the utmost. Let us
have a rousing vote out at the election.
Let there be no apathy, no discord, in the
party. Let 1t show its full strength at the
polls in August and thus prepare for
future victories. From Supreme Judge
to County Register, let us elect every

WILL MIR. GARLAND RESIGN?
A Rumor that the Attorney-Generai Has
Decided to Retire From the Cabinet.

N Rumof ina the Attornty OeucraA mas
Decided to Retire From the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON. June 27.-There was q
rumor tonight that Attorney General
Garland had expressed to some Of. his
friends a determination TO retire from the
Cabinet at an early day, but the story
could be raced to no trustworthy source.
1t is remembered that Mr.. Garland sew
eral months ago furnished a statement
for publication in which he said that
after the House Committee had conclud-
ed its investigation he would take steps
which would be satisfactory to everybody
who was willing to be satisfied in regard
to the Pan Electric matter, but he did not
intimate that he would resign his Office.
1t is probable that he has read so much
of the testimony taken by the investiga-
CATION committee as relates to his own
conduct and actions, and it may be that
he has been made acquainted with the
general drift of the reports prepared by
Chairman Boyle and Judge Ramey re-
spectively. The fact that the members
of the committee are unable to agree In
their conclusions, but that three reports
have been prepared, two Of which can.
not be said to exOnerate or vindicate him
itself implies censure.

Knoxville Chronicles: Cleveland persists
in vetoing private pension bills with a
promptness which discloses that he is as
hostile to the cid soldiers as any of the
little two.penny Tennessee editors who
have secured berths in the pension bu.
reau. Those who know anything at all
about this class Of claims know that there
is none other more meritorious. They
are the exceptions which the general law
cannot provide for, as Mr.. Cleveland
might have discovered If his lousy.calf
luck had given him time to have become
a lawyer Of even ordinary attachments in
the law. The old soldiers will remember
him hereafter.

CORRESPONDENCE
MooREsBuRG, HAWKINS COUNTY.

MOORESBURG, HAWKINS COUNTY.
JUNE 29.-I see an article in the Comet
Of June "A, headed 1.-THE Hawkins county
fraud" As the article uses my name
without authority from me. and Is calcu-
lated to place mi in a false light, as we'll
as the situation politically in Hawkins. I
desire to say a few words through the
HERALD AND TRIBUNE. Said article tries
to leave the impression that myself and
other Republicans In tho county are op-
posing Col. Brown for Judge and II. 7.
Campbell for Attorney General, when
such is not the fact.
In the county convention and before /
was q warm supporter of Judge Hacker
and felt kindly as to Col. John Fain. They
both have warm political and personal
friends in the county, but the county con-
vention saw proper TO send deleg ates to
Joncsboro who did not see things as l
and other friends saw them. l believed q
majority of the Republicans of the county
were for Hacker and probably for Fain,
but and other friends of Mr.. Hacker and
Mr.. Fain don't propose to hold Brown and
Campbell responsible for what others may
have done, neither of them being present
at the county convention. After the NOM
nations were made at Jonesboro there
was some dissatisfaction, as there Is at the
action of all conventions, but the loyal
Republicans Of Hawkins can't listen TO
the Boosting Of Democrats and then kick
at the nominee of the party thereby en-.
dangcring the interests and principles of
a lifetime, simply because they do not get
their particular man nominated every time
a convention meets, besides 1t has never
been said, and never will be, that the Re
publicans of Hawkins ''sulked in the
camp They recognize the right of the
majority to rule, and always submit to
the ruling of that majority. and reliable
old Hawkins will do her duty for Brown
and Campbell. / write what I believe to
be the true feelings Of the Republicans in

THE Wahabees are the Prohibitionist,

THE Wahabees are the Prohibitionists
of Central Arabia. They are strict con-
structionists Of the Koran, and tobacco is
regarded by them as not less accursed
than intoxicating drink. 1t seems, how
ever, that mankind cannot be temperate
all round, for these total abstainers abuse
the coffee habit terribly, and in the prop.
agation and dissemination of neighbor-
hood scandal they are unduly jealous.
The tendency of temperance folks to in
temperance in language is moi. indeed,
peculiar to the Wahabees. II is to be OBJ,
