Gov. Patterson's speech of acceptance
was x gem. Clear cut as cameo, ev-
cry sentence stood out as tho most fe-
licitsus phrase to be framed into the
harmonious whole. No mock humility
nor vainglorious assumption of heroism
was anywhere apparent His peculiar
literary style was never displayed to
better advantage, nor did his oratory
ever have more satisfying effect,
Some may not have liked this, and 9th
ers might have wished that he had left
that unsaid, but all conceded its big
ness, magnanimity, and wisdom. He
held ont the olive branch like man to
men, and happily indicated his INDY
ing gratitude to those who had fought
beneath his banner and achieved such
a notable victory. The governors fame
as an orator is secure, Nashville Amer

Hon. J. b. HelSkell.

The editorial article in the Banner of
yesterday in which it was stated that
the death of Judge John V. Wright left
the Hon. j. d. G. Atkins the sole sur
vivor among those who served Tennes-
see in the Confederate congress, was an
error. There are two survivors. Be-
sides Mr.. Atkins is the Hon. Joseph b.
Heiskell, who still lives in Memphis.
Mr.. Heiskell was at one time attorney
general of the state and the author of
the several volumes of law reports that
bear his name,
He was an East Tennessean in his
earlier years and represented the First
congressional district of the state in
both the First and Second congresses
OF the Confederacy. He was a candi-
date for the provisional congress of the
Confedsracy in the First district at the
election held August /, 1861. At the
same time Hon. j. H. Shields was a
candidate for the same office in the
Second district. They were opposed
respectively by T. A. r. Nelson and
Horace Maynard, who offered them
selves as Union candidates and were
elected. Messrs. Nelson aud Maynard,
with Hon. George W. Bridges, repre-
senting the Third district, were the
sole representatives of Tennessee in the
Thirty seventh congress Of the United
States.

stirred up trouble that threatened to be
serious, but was without visible effect.
This pulsating person writhed through
considerable talk. His oral machinery
logged along at rate beyond the ca
pacity of trained mind to keep up
with, but even he tired, and the steam
rollor continued its uninterrupted way.
After this developments came to
rapid conclusion.
The intricate and complicated interior
of a bass drum could not be to the
Imagination of child of three as mys-
FERROUS as the subsequent happenings
of the convention. They came rapidly
and with certainty and to the satisfac-
ton of those near enough to under
stand.
The platform having been adopted
without change; the details of organiza-
ton having been completed; the stage
being ready for the stars appearance,
the nomination came. Time stood on
tip-toe. The convention was on the
qui vive. Even the defiant elect were
hushed. Hon. Dudley Porter, editor
of the Paris Partisan, was recognized.
In nominating a governor under such
conditions, nervousness might have
been anticipated, but cucumbers that
have been allowed to slumber on ice
for forty eight hours would be feverish
compared with Col. Porter when he
presented the governors name. 1t was
the climax of tonights convention.
1t brought the crescendo of interest
to Its complete fulness. Il was the one
excruciating moment that everyone
waited for. Compared to it other MIN
utes of the time were laggards.
The rest is told below;
GOV. PATTERSON NAMED.
Al. II. Patterson was named and
nominated. The session of the Sonven-
tion was carried out in detail. The
days work was virtually done. What
followed was of secondary interest, and
was in line with the cut-and- dried pro.
gramme. Never in all the times that
the people of Tennessee have known
him did the governor appear in such an
impressive light. There was dignity
in every attitude. There was grateful
ness in every meditation of his voice.
His speech of acceptance was gem OF
oratorical eloquence. He sounded the
keynote of his party. He brought the
tangled ends of opposition together
He did more than every other influence
to restore temporary peace at last. Il
was the eliminating event of the con
vention and most satisfactory con
clHsion.
Other details were of only norma
interest. The convention was tired
Deeply satisfied and homesick. Thu
delegates went out into the morning
air. The convention was at an end.
