MCDOWELL.


John Henry has been freed. He
made himself too numerous, and he
was caught. Even while Brother Ter
rill was lolling in the luxufiant chairs
in the Century Club parlors last night,
extolIing him as a martyr and q
saint, the cold type was being set in
the American office at Nashville
that branded John Henry Mcdowell
as a political turncOat, democrat IN
Tennessee, a republican Office holder
in Arkansas, a traitor to his race, a
member of the Loyal League in re-
construction days, an associate of ne
grOes and stirrer up of strife.
The HERALD regrets that this IN
teresting reading comes too late for
US do it Justice in this issue. II we
had time we would devote several
columns to these clippings. Failing
in this we advise all our readers to
send three two cent stamps to the
american Office and get themselves
paper.
The Anaeriodn deserves the ever
lasting gratitude of the people OF Ten
nessee, farmers and merchants, AL
lance men and Democrats, Tor eX-
posing the character of as treacherous
a man and as INSCRIPTIONS and dam
gerous a demagogue as ever the
strange tricks of political pillows
tossed to the surface.
The american spared neither time
nor money in searching for the truth.
It sent to the county of Desha, in
Arkansas, a trustworthy aud reliable
representative, to learn the truth
about vague stories OF McDowells
past, and this represen tative brings
back With him the signed statement
of leading men of both races and both
parties and of various occupations,
cOnvictIng him of all that is hateful
and mean and despieable. These
signed statements of responsible men
say that the man who now holds the
best paying office in the gift of Ten
nessee Governor; the man who poses
as the Moses OF the farmers OF Ten
nessee and Democrat without guile,
| when he lived in Arkansas served as
deputy to a negro Clerk, and ate
and voted with the negroes, and as
Loyal League Republican nominee
was elected to Office, and then prosti-
tuted the office 50 cOntemptibly

the gentleman from Texas AM tie

contained in to-day's Anl6PiGdn.
He is no heavier a burden to the
Alliance, however, aud no greater q
disgrace than he is to the Democratic
party of Tennessee and to Governor
Buchanan's administration. Govern
or Buchanan must relieve himself OF
this incubus some way. For the sake
of his own administration, he must,
somehow, shake Off this dead mans
weight. 1t will be hard to do; he
will stick like leech; he is not made
of the stuff that ever resigns an Office
that pays dollar; but, thanks to thu

been found out, and john Henry

the Ne,C York Herald that "the feel
ing in favor of the third party is
strong and growing with wonderful
rapitdity among the democratic farm

party doesn't fall into line on the sub
treasury bill, it will be impossible for
him to "hold the boys back" John

sHERMAN's ADVICE.

The Ohio Senator Thiaks the Ia Per
Cent. Bonds should he Paid when Due.
New York, Aug. ia special to
The Press from Mansfield, O., says
Secretary Foster and Senator Sherman
had very important conference Thurs
day night. 1t continued for five hours,
during which the entire financial situa>
ton was reviewed, and the question Of
continuing the Ia per cent bonds
was naturally the central figure of the
discussion. 1t was soon demonstrated
that the ex-secretary did not share the
views OF Mr.. Foster upon the subject.
He thought the secretary should pay
the 1-2 per cents. and he undertook to
show how easy it was for him to do it
without making trouble in the financial
world. The ex-secretary's position was
that the money already in the treasury
that could be spared from the sinking
fund, and that might accrue in the
meantime, would be sufficient to pay
off the bonds when due. He ex-
planned to the new secretary that
the month of July, the worst in
the year, had been passed in safety, and
now that gold would return to us as our
exports began, and that the movements
of the splendid crops, aud the payment
OF new revenues would make things
easy, saying that the bonds could be re-
tired without difficulty or danger. The
question of what effect the retirement
Of the securities that have been held by
the national banks as deposit for cir
culation would have ON the banking
system was naturally one of the features
of the discussion. Senator Sherman
did not think it would have any, except
to eventually somewhat change its char
acter. Mr.. Sherman took the ground
that the banks would very soon adjust
themselves to the new conditions when
the government would furnish the cur
rency to them direct. How far Secre-
tary Foster accepted or will accept
Senator Sherman's views upon the sub
ject remains to be seen.
