DELIBERATE LYING.

When Governor Buchanan, of the
State of Tennessee, says-as he does
one day after another - that the
| Democratic press of this State has
been subsidized 10 oppose him i by
which he means that tue entire
Democratic press has been bribed -
be wilfully, deliberately, premedi-
tatedly and knowingly, utters a
malicious faIsehUod.
Governor Buchanan is not Il smart
man, and we must make allowances
for that. Stupidity, ignorance and pre-
iudice go hand in hand together, and
we must make allowances for that.
| Therefore, if Mr.. Buchanan had said
| in his speech here that the COLUM-
BIA HERALD had been Subsidized
charitable enough to have supposed
that the Governor had listened to
and believed some of the lies of some
Of his fool friends, and that the
Governor himself was less knave
than fool, and was more to be pitied
than censured.
But whenever any man, however
stupid, however ignorant, however
prejudiced, undertakes to say that
the entire Democratic press has been
subsidized to any interest or against
any interest, right then that man
shuts off even The charitable con-
5tructiOn that he believes what he
says.
Mr.. Buchanan is uttering daily
his falsehOod, neither innOcently nor
idly. He has a mean, selfish, ma
Iicious purpose in it. He knows
none know better than he that in
this State the most powerful factor
in politics is the Democratic press.
That press has defeated Mr. Buch-
anan by exposing him, by telling the
plain, unadulterated, unvarnished
truth upon him, and by refusing to
be bought by the promises of reward
or the fear of bOycotts; by sacrificing
in some instances and risking at all
times their selt-interest for the good
of Democracy.
Mr.. Buchanan and his henchmen
know this; none know it better than
they. They know they have at
tempted, directly or indirectly, to
bride, to bulldoze or to brow beat
nearly every Democratic paper in
Tennessee; but be it said to the ever
lasting honor OF the Democratic
press, they have signally and almost
universally failed.
In this county they threatened the
HERALD with the withdrawal of iu-
dividual subscriptions and iDdividu-
al influences, if the HERALD did not
"tone its utterances down." Instead,
the HERALD toned it's utterances up.
They then threate ned and actually
carried into execution a boycott; for
which the HERALD returned its pro-
foundest thanks and pursued the
even tenor of its way.
Their next attempt to terrify was
terrible threat to start an Alliance
paper; aud when the threat didn't
work they actually went down in
their pockets and put up the STUFF
and did start the sheet, which has

WRECKED IN THE PACIFIC.
A Thrilling Story Told by the Captain OF
the Campbell.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Mail to tn,
navy department from Honolulu ha
brought an interesting story of tn,
wreck of the steamship William A
Campbell, of Thomaston, Me-, in a cy
clone while on a voyage from Por
Townsend to Queenstown i'll the Pacific
ocean Aug. 26, in latitude IA north, lon
gitude 120 west.
The story was transmitted by CAPITA in
Wilt, of the United States steamship
Boston, and differs from the first ac-
count received here i'll one essential
point, and that is the statement by Cap.
tain Wilt that the Boston went on q
cruise after castaways.
Honolulu advices, previously received,
stated that the United States minister
was severely criticised for his failure to
send the Boston in quest of the missing
sailors. Because of the criticisms the
minister prosecuted the editor of the
semi-OfhcIal newspaper at Honolulu.
and the overthrow of the tottering
cabinet was hastened.
Captain Wiltz's statement is that he
officers and crew of the Campbell left
ship in two boats, the captain. his wife
and little baby in one containing four
teen people, the mate and ten men III
the other.
The boats separated at the end of two
days. At the end of twenty-thrce days
the mates boat reached d point on one
of the Sandwich islands near TIE town
of Hilo. the crew being in a terrible CON
ton. The mate said:
I'VE have lived Oh half tin of water
day, a tin being about the size of
condensed milk can. The water lasted
eight days, and then we lived on the
same allowance of wine, beer or stout.
We had no rain at all, in consequence of
which we got no more water. In addi-
ton to the LIQUID food we had about
three dozen tins of various preserves.
We could not have possibly lasted three
days longer and one day more would
have killed some of the crew. PRAYERS
were said by me twice day, think /
prayed fifty times day. strange to say,
all were answered except the prayers for
rain. 1t was just punishment for our
former sins"
According to Captain Witt the con-
dition of the boat's crew on landing
was as follows: Two severe and eight
other cases Of scurvY; the majority were
suffering FIR | boils and blisters. Many
had to be fled and carried from the
boat by the natives to the house of the
sheriff of the district in which they
landed. On hearing of their arrival the
United States steamship Boston left
Honolulu Sept. %, reaching Hilo Sept.
30, and took the mate and crew on
board. She hen wentsso sea and cruised
for two days over the water on which it
was possible that the captains boat
might Be found, bat without success.

with apples to sell but instructed him
not to talk. When people inquired
the price of his apples, the boy stared
dumb and vacantly at them, and one
man said you must be a fool, why
don't you answer" Then when the
boy blubbered out "that what daddy
said" the man discovered he had
guessed right. 1t was even so with
Buch and the people.

BUCHANAN'S whine that he has
teen prosecuted by a subsidized press
is the most absurd of all his weak eX-
cuses for his treschery to Democracy.
The Democratic press is solid in its
opposition to him. The idea that
these, one hundred a fifty papers
have been bought could not be enter
tanned by any sane man. If they
were disposed to sell their support,
who is there to buy it? The Golfers
of the Democratic campaign COM
mittees-county, State and National
are always in a state of chronic deple-
lion. The poor newspaper men are
fortunate if they get the pay for the
job-work they do in getting out the
dodgers and tickets necessary. If
they were disposed to sell, they would
open negotiations with Chairman
Carter, whose barrel IL so full that he
could afford to pay John H. Mellow

As the robbers ran out of the bank
and jumped into their saddles a party
of hunters came along, and learning OF
the bold robbery, opened fire on them.
About fifteen shots were exchanged, but
no one was hurt on either side.
The robbers rode south, but were
soon overtaken by a mounted posse
which had started in pursuit Another
running battle ensued, in which many
shots were exchanged, but the robbers
managed TO escape. 1t is not known
whether any of them were wounded OF
not. Sheriff Beeson was notified at
once. and he, with posse, started in
pursuit.

Spearville is quiet town, and, it be-
ing cold, raw day, but few people
were on the streets. The robbery no
doubt had been planned beforehand and

DastardIy Deed of Miners at oliver
Springs Yesterday.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 3.-[Special.I "A
special from Oliver Springs, in East
Tennessee, says that the house of
Mrs. Lewis, widow at that place,
was completely destroyed last night
by fire, which was applied to it by
miners. A crowd of them marched
into town and openly set the house
on fire and watched it burn.
Mrs Lewis WAS very kind to the
soldiers recently stationed there, and
that has brought down on her the
hate Of the miners, which has vented
itself in this cowardly and dastardly
deed. Capt Roach, at this place,
called for volunteers this mo. ming,
and ready one hundred men have
responded, and are ready to march to
Oliver Springs at a moments notice.
