Oliß NATIOX
\Yc Lave always been proud that we
were an American citizen and could look
Lack with veneration to the halcyon davs
of independence when the watchword of
oar nation was Liberty. Liberty of
speech, liberty of suffrage, and liberty of
purpose. In those days men were hon
est and served their country from a sense
of duty and a feeling of patriotism, and
not simply for the emoluments of the of
fice. The temple of liberty by which
we enjoyed peace and plenty for so many
years was founded by master builders,
and cemented with life’s purple tide
poured out on its walls. And yet with
in it is the holy place of liberty, truth
and science. There is deposited the im
mortal scroll, bright with the names of
its noble founders, and the eagle, which
hovered over them in the battle’s smoke,
still spreads his wings there to watch
their last repose.
But how far have their posterity gone
off from the rules laid down by those
self-sacrificing statesmen. The peace of
the nation lias been disturbed by their
ungrateful children, and war and blood
shed have devastated this once happy
land, and Ephraim is joined to his idol
—money.
Abolition, strife and local differences,
brought about a civil war, and for four
long years the nation bled at every pore,,
and thousands of her noble sons found a
grave in a strange land, dying unwept
and unsung. Scarcely had the cloud of
war been brushed away, when another
more fierce than the finst began in the
political field. The radicals, in order to
be successful, placed the shackles on ev
ery southern arm, and when they were
removed the bayonet of the federal sol
dier was seen to glitter and gleam at ev
ei v voting precinct. But the democrat
ic party continued to increase in strength
till in 1876, when they were successful
by 19 electoral votes. But in the pre
tended adjudication of the election there
was enough corruption —putrid corrup
tion festering, to ruin the public morals
of any nation. Our leaders went up to
Washington and found Grant and his
“strikers’’ incorrigible, with one hand on
the nation’s chair and with the other
pointing to his armed legions. At this
our leaders backed down, perhaps for the
want of backbone, and said if you will
remove the troops from the south you
can have tlie presidency. Hayes said he
would do it, and since that time Gen.
Grant has been making extensive prepa
rations to .take the place of Mr. Hayes
so soon as the latter’s term of office is
>ut. Now the republican party is going
to conduct the canvass in 1880 with
money and the bayonet, and to this end
they are now being thoroughly organized.
We would advise the democratic par
ty to be on the alert, and try by organi
zation and centralization to secure the
president in 1880. It is apparent that
ihe figures are against Grant. Of course,
if Grant could secure all the northern
states that went for llayes, and then add
to them the 86 votes of New Y oik, he
fcjtyonld be elected. This result would
Kj|ive him a total of 201 votes. But it
were to carry New York and all the
northern Haves states except Ohio, the
loss of its 22 votes would reduce this to
tal to 179, which would be six short of
a majority. But the democrats may
count on New York if the convention is
harmonious, which must be, otherwise
we arc defeated.
A FEW FACTS.
Two years ago when tlie District Con
ference aas in South Chattanooga, and
the school authorities of Ooltewali came
and ottered the conference the District
school, we were in favor of Trenton and
governed our vote accoiuinglv. 1 I ' ,ln
that conference wc went to Jasper, 1 emi.,
where wo cm balked in the paper husi-
Ui * s , ;n i liom that time to to this we
have boon in the same occupation.
First,we wrote for the Herald and now
Ur the G azktte, and in these two papers
Vf -e have always had a good word tor the
tchooi at Trenton. WO Mid
all the exercises of the school, we were
fully prepared to write up all the partic
ulars, and we will assert just here that
there are no two men in the bounds of
the Holston conference ever wrote half
as much in favor of and for that school
as we have, for it is well known we util
ized the columns of our paper for the
benefit of said institution, writing col
umn after column in order to stimulate
both teacher and pupil. While we do
not claim to have been the means of send
ing many scholars to that school, yet
we have so stimulated the parents and
children as to do valuable service for the
school. And now after we have worked*
tugged,thought and wrote for the vchool
without a cent’s remuneration, some one
rises up in “mectin” and says that we
are responsible for tbje school at Trenton
now being taught in the Presbyterian
church. To this gentle accusation we
would say that it is false. B. F. Pace
said something to us concerning the
school, and we being slow to talk about
it lie (Ben) said “I presume that you are
neutral?” to which we answered in the
affirmative. We have nothing wliatcvei
to do with the school that Miss Mary
Pace is now teaching, and so far as the
District . school is concerned, we have
been for it first, last and all the time,but
we did say that we were going to let
upon gratuitous advertising in the future,
for there isn’t a paper in the south that
has done so much of this sort of thing in
so short a tunc as we have. However,
we expect to write on the great subject
of education from a general standpoint,
and try in the best manner we can to in
fuse into the minds of the young a thirst
for knowledge ; but when it comes to a
private enterprise working all tlie time
for another that is equally as private,
and then to be accused of something for
which we are not responsible, it lias a
slight tendency to stir up the Injun in
our temperament which is not over and
above passive.

The train runs much faster on the new
schedule than it. did before, for we had
scarcely settled well in our seat till ye
Abyssinian ike stuck his noggin in at
the door and yelled “Trenton.” Having
a little time before services at the Meth
odist church* (for the revival was still in
progress) we sauntered out where Ben
Pace was cutting wheat, and though it
was Saturday evening, yet the reapers
pursued the even tenor of their way, and
wc thought, let not ambition mock their
useful toil, for oft did the harvest to their
sickle yield. We thrust in the blade
and demonstrated to the beholder that
we had been “tliar.”
At night we preached at 1 lie Mctodist
church, and enjoyed the worship with the
good people of Trenton. Culled our ox
ygon with B. F. Pace, and on the mor
row, in company with Mr. Yv \ P. Pace,
we rode for Cole City, distant six miles.
We wound round and round, back and
forth,till wc gained the top ot hand moun
tain, and at 10:30 o’clock wo were busy
tying our horses to the brush near the lit
tle church in the city of Goal. At 11
o’clock we began to preach, and as we
were sick, weary and worn, the sermon
was a failure. Took dinner with our old
friend Capt. T. R. Evans, than whom a
cleverer man doesn’t live. He is a \\ elch
inan, and his wke says that lie has been
in this country g qjrxmgli to be civil
ized.
Lute in the afternoon we rode for tlie
canitol of Dade, but on the wav our at
rtntion was attracted by a rustling in the
leaves near the road, and on examination
found a large rattle snake. Taking that
passage of scripture in its literal sense
that says “the seed of the woman shall
bruise the serpent's head,” we slid down
off our horses, and armed with large sand
rocks, we proceeded to pound the life out
of the venomous “critter.” That done
we mounted our steed# and at dusk rode
into Trenton. Attended church, stayed
with our friend Allison, and Monday
morning found us home again.

Mu. Editor —My peregrinations once

Cherokee, Ooltewali, and, while as an in

myself upon the attention ot your readers,
still, I believe there are in Dade many
friends ot others who are here that would
gladly hear how they are getting along.
Mr. Amos returned from a visit home

want to he able to say there is one clev

hardened and more susceptible of moral
influences than the rest, it rank Hale ex

Everything seems to be moving on all
right at the mines so far as an observer
can tell. They are certainly getting
considerable ore, and managing the bus
iness in a very systematic manner, con
sidering tlie disadvantages under which
they labor.
Harvesting is in full blast now, (June
10) and the crop is said to be the best
that has been harvested for years.
Nothing could be more flattering to
Trentorians than the manner in which
those who were at the conference aud re
cent closing exercises of the school,speak
of their hospitality, sociability, and all
the other estimable qualities lor which
the inhabitants of that burg are noted.

WABHIYCJTOY LETTER
Washington, D. C., June 6.
The Democrats will undoubtedly pass
the bill extending last year’s legislative
appropriations. The bill last year, as
will be remembered, contains no provis
ions for deputy marshals and supervis
ors, those officials having been provided
for in the civil sundry bill of last year.
This bill will be pushed through and the
course of Mr, Hayes ascertained before
the army bill is introduced.- The army
bill, with its prohibition of the payment
of money to troops for services at the
polls, or for subsistence there, or trans
portation to such points, will pass, in all
probability, and that will complete the
business for which congress was called
togelhci. But delays are dangerous.
The weather here is intensely hot -and
many members are, and necessarily more
will be, absent.
... Senator Hampton made an eloquent
speech yesterday, in which lie said he
would not, under any circumstance re
fuse supplies to the government. This,
too, is the prevailing sentiment among
southern senators and representatives.
The senate Committee on elections has
been slow in taking up the case of Sena
tor Ingalls, of Kansas, but has at last
gone to work in earnest. If any Kansas
republican can be believed, under any cir
cumstances, there is that in the charged
against should consign him
from public life. He
is charged, among wher things, with the
purchase, for cash, of tike votes necessa
ry to secure his election.
Yesterday Mr.Hayes sent to I%e House
the testimony and report of the board of
officers who have, uiuleV a n#olntion of
congress, made an the case
of Gen. Fitz John lorrer. Mr. Hayes
made no recommendation in ik#case.
This is the “day after tire Igrttle” in
Ohio, and T think the general mipressioß
is that the ticket nominated by the dem
ocrats —Ewing for Governor and Lice
for Lieut. Governor- —is a strong onel 1
wish to say, from personal knowledge,
that Gen. Bice is entitled to the vote of
every Union soldier of that state, because
of the services lie rendered thorn while
in the House. Himself a crippled vete
ran, he lias done more for the widows and
orphans of those who, unhappily, fell in
the struggle, than any man now living.
Of the record of Foster, who heads tne
republican ticket in Ohio, and who was
in Congress with Gen. Rice, I can, with
equal certainty, say that it does not at
anv time show even one earnest effort in
behalf of the class so greatly benefitted
by Gem. Rice.

Unearthing a Meteor.
The large meteor that was reported to
have fallen near Worthington last Sat
urday fell in Emmet county, lowa, about
four miles south of the State line and
fifteen miles from Jackson, It appeal'd
from hereto those that observed it, to
pass from northwest, to southwest, and
left a track of smoke not unlike a fuse
sholl only a great deal more. The report
was distinctly heard here as well as at
points further east. The shock of tlie
missile striking the ground could he
easily felt at this distance. It tore a hole
in the ground twelve feet across ut the
surface, and threw sods as large as a
man’s body a distance of ten rods. A
number of men set to Work digging after
the meteor, and found it buried fifteen
feet below the surface, ten feet ol which
was hard clay. r i he largest piece taken
out weighed four hundred and thirty-one
pounds and enough smaller pieces were
found to make five hundred pounds mall
Those who saw it strike say it exploded
in the errouud. It consists ot meteoric
iron, very dense, and thought by some to
contain silver ore. It has a ragged out
side, covered with a whitish substance
which can he taken off, leaving the hard
metal. There is a great chance for scien
tific speculation and investigation.—

Americans, like Ortogral, of Basra, de

also like Ortogral. They want their hair
to flow like a golden stream of beauty from

of hard work to accomplish this re

haa at last been so completely deodorized
that it can be used ns daintily as the fam

The Tolor has, at the same time, been ob

any objections to its use. It is cleanly and

will certainly do all that is claimed for it.
