FRED LEWIS; AmubuA Ga., Aug.^4.1884 if Ohattanooqa, Tenn., Deo. 9— “We ehall have to take a new census aoon if this thing continues,' remarked a Main street merchant 'to'a New York Morning Jonrnal correspondent to-day. “What’s up now?” asked the latter, . „ r . _ “More arrivals at Hugh Blair’s," answered the merchant, as ho turned to wait on a customer. Every man, woman and child in tbis city knew what the remark meant as soon as'it was uttered. Hugh Blair is aa iron moulder, and is employed in the Vulcan Foundry in thia city. He has a wife and a constantly increasing family. Mr. Blair lives in a pretty little cottage on Alabama atreet. His wife is a native of this county and now but 96 years of age. The family eoesistb of eleven children. About ten months ago Mrs. Blair became the happy mother of trip lets—three bouncing boys. Tne father, who is not a rlob man, was somewhat disheartened by the un expected inorease in his family, but he welcomed the little new comers with Southern hospitality. Friends of the family helped them with gifts of clothing and tin rat tles, and Mr. Blair became resigried and even proud of bis interesting progeny. The Governor of the State sent Mr. Blair $15, aa an old law allows $5 each for triplets born in Tennessee. When Mr. Blair returned home last evening an unwonted activitv around the house aroused hia curi osity. Several female neighbor* ran in and out carrying bundles of olotbiag, bottles of soothing syrup and other preparations whioh the very young have a monopoly of. “The triplets must be sick,’’ said Mr. Biair, as he entered ' house. "Hu9hi”vwrned Mrs. Davis, who lives next door, as sho raised her fingers warningly. “What.’e the matter?’’ gasped Mr. Blair. “Three more,” said Mrs. Davis, in an exultant tone. “All girls, too.” Tho astonished father fell over a trundle bed, in which several of his children were lying, and the uproar that followed was deafening. Peo ple in the vicinity thought a oat show bad opened in the city, and the policeman on that beat com plained that be waa kept awake all night. Things had quieted dawn towards morning and the Journal correspondent mustered up oourage to*cali at the Blair abode. The scene inside resembled a baby show. Cradles of all makes and design* stood around the floor, and half the young girls, of tho neighborhood stood around hold ing a portion of tho Blair family in their arms. Mr. Blair bad taken refoge in the cellar and refused to see any sail er*. “Tbs babies are all doing well, bless their little hearts,” remarked Mrs. Davis, os she held several of them up to the correspondent’* view. “Mr. Blair has already been called upon by a oirous agent from Olnolnnati who wants to en gage the family to travel, and he need not be frightened about this allair. The babies will get good treatment.” A friend of Mr. Blair who came np from the cellar represented that gentleman as gradually resigned to the inevitable; The father ex presses a strong desire to know “when this is going to stop.” Friends of the family have al ready notified the Governor that another $15 is due. It is said that the Governor will recommend the introduction of a bill in tho Legis lature abolishing the gratuity. He is afraid that the small surplus nowin the State Treasury will soon be used up. During tho debate in tha House en the inter-State commerce bill into which the everlasting “color lino” waa lagged by the Radicals for the purpose of causing personal strife and thereby defeat the bill, one of the “bloody shirt” wavers from Indiana alluded to the fact that the soul of old ’John Brown was still “marching on,” No doubt of it. “There's no rest for the wicked.” But it i* ungen erous in his old party to associates to banter old nun Brown about it. If they an obliged - to have their flifig* and gibeb and jokes about hopelessly dafonot fellows, that are dead as door nails, why don’t they gibe Blaine? A PARTING SHOT. Tin Ssatlatl OItii Blalif a BroaAiMa aa ha Wslghi "Anchar.'’ The Indianapolis Sentinel of December 17, under the beadingof “Good-bye, Mr. Plaibttff Blaine,” says, editorially: “Wo had no doubt but that Mr. Blaine' would sooner or later make a virtue of necessity by BtSpplaO .down and out of court Mr. fllsine is no doubt familiar with the wise orb, ‘The prudent man forsee evil and hldetb himself,’and hts concluded not to have applied to himself the converse ending of the same passage: 'but the wicked pats on and are punished.’ If wo were compelled to criticise Mr. Blaine’s judgment in. bringing the 'suit against us, We at least will.compli ment it in deoiding to drop it. - In the language or Sam Weller and Mr. Pickwick (when, after the let ter’s adventure with the lady In yellow curl papers, he rgso’ved never to trust himself in the hotel alone again), ‘That’s the very pru- denest resolution as you could oome to. sir.’ . p “When Mr. Blslne says, ‘the. groat masses of Democrats speak ers repeated the libel frowmvery stump in Indiana with the vituper ative rancor, with gibe and ribald Jest,’ be plueks from tho brow of Baron Munchausen every ljUjirel that liar ever wore. “If he bod said that the great masses oi Demeoratio speakers bad, from every stump in Indiana, pro claimed James G. Blaine An honest man, he would hsfe come full as near to the truth. Mr. Blalae olaims that the Democrats of In diana are against him. The Sent! nel concedes that the Republicans of Indiana are, politically, opposed to it. But the Sentinel ie wilting to submit to the Republicans of the State, jury fashion, this obarge of hia against Demooratio speakers, and if the verdict does not give the He to Mr. Blaine's oharge, the Sen tinel will agree to retract every word it hat ever published against him, and support him for tile Pres idency whenever a Republican con vention nominates him. ‘Mr. Blaine's letter to hts attor neys ie a flagrant insult to - the State of Indiana, not only to the Democracy, but to the Judiciary of the State. It is an imputation upon the obligation that honorable mca tako when they are called to sit in judgment as lurors. “Mr. Blaine has the audacity to impugn the genius of our court* qf justice, by alleging that in Indiana one-half the citizens will subordi nate their solemn oaths to their partisan feelings. No wonder that Hit Honor Judge Woods, on his own motion, took under advlsomsnt whether the letter should opt be refused record in hie court. .Iff M believed, had not Mr. Blaine’* at torneys promptly amended their motion to dismiss tho suit by ask ing tho withdrawal of the letter, that the Jndge, Republican though he is, would have ordered it taken out of court in language that would have indicated bts utmoit disap proval of it.. The letter was in tended a* an affront to Indiana for the magnificent manner in whioh aha repudiated the pretensions of the plumtd knight.
