TAFrs SOUTHERN POLICY.

n the president throws the principal
part OF the federal patronage TO one
southern state until he mas brought
that state over 10 his party and then
begins with another. how long will II
take him TO convert the South? II
would seem that he has made a good
start In nessee.-Beaumont Enter
prise.
He selected Tennessee because con
ditions are more favorable for his pur-
pose than In any other Southern state
Tennessee was doubtful" state be
fore the war. II Is true the governors
after 1854 were ali Democrats and
Buchanan received the electoral vote
In 1856, but this was after the disin-
tegration OF the national Whig party
the Republican organization had alb
sorbed the Northern Wings almost en-
tirely leaving the southern members OF
the party adrift.
A few OF the leaders. among when
the most conspicuous we're James c.
Jones. John II Croziet and Charles A
Reedy. came 20 the Democrats with
following sufficient to give that party
a safe majority: but most OF the old
whlg warehouses; such as y. G. Taylor
father OF Senator Bob Taylorl. Judge
Thomas n. Frazier father OF Senator
Frazier.l John Bell. the noblest Ro-
man OF them all" and many others
refused to affiliate with the Democrats
and Joined in successive movements
10 organize another national party I'M
der the names OF Know Nothing party,
American party and constitutional
Union party. all OF which were fall
ures. In 1860. Tennessee was one OF
the three states that gave their cleo
toral vote TO John Bell. the nominee OF
the Constitutional Union party. In Feb
ruary 1861. Tennessee voted down by
majority OF over sixty thousand prop
ositlon to hold a convention TO consid'
er the question OF secession; but IN
June OF the same year. after Lincoln
had issued a coercion proclamation.
Tennessee. In a referendum vote. gave
a majority OF over 10000 for seees-
sion.
This shows that party lines were
obliterated and that most OF the
wings. including John Bell. and prac-
tical'y all the Democrats espoused the
cause Of the South. Andrew Johnson.
then a United States senator. was the
only Tennessee Democrat OF national
reputation who took the side OF the
North. BY the way. he was the first
Democrat(?D 10 accept office from the
Republicans.
There was. however. a section OF the
old wings. respectable both in mum
bers and In character. who refused
TO acquiesce in secession. A few OF
these enlisted in the federal army
but much larger number stood aloof.

HONORS TO BRITISH SEAMEN
United States Army to Be Credited
with Graceful Act Of Inter
national Courtesy.

BY graceful act of international
courtesy the United States army has
given honored sepulture to the bones
of a brave and distinguished party Of
British seamen who lost their lives
in a winter storm at Sandy Hook in
1888, soon after the American army
had won independence for the colonies
after a prolonged and bitter struggle
with Great Britain. The United States
army has further expressed officially
the intention to erect an appropriate
monument above the bodies of these
long dead heroes of the English navy,
and Mr.. Bryce, the famous historian
and ambassador from the court of St.
James to the United States, has ex-
pressed his country's appreciation OF
the graceful act.

Of IL men, all apparently inferred

The skeletons were gathered w re

investigation, conducted with the us
