The intelligent voter who has given
the matter the least consideration .read*
ily sees the importance of wise and ju
dicious action in choosing men to rep
resent us in the General Assembly next
to convene in our State. We are about
to "eater, if our new Constitution, is
adopted, anew, and what we hope to
boa brighter era in our affairs Some
time since our wisest public men eher
ished the conviction that as the odious
carpet.bag dynasty had been superced
ed by a State government,composed" of
men of us,with us,and for our interests,
so, also ,was it necessary that the meas
ures intended for our government, born
in hate of these same individuals,should
be suppl ied by an instrument so
well fitted to our purposes of peace and
progress that the majoiity could live
under it without feelings of the raukest
dissent. The outgrowth of this idea
was the late Convention, tho product of
which is now before the people tor ap
proval. How well this new document
meets the wants and expectations of the
masses we believe will be aumirably at
tested in its overwhelming adoption at
tie polls in December. Falling upon
the next General Assembly is the im
portant duty of putting iuto existence
the new provisions in our laws, involv
ing some gigantic questions, until the
responsibilities now upon the people are
great. Men of skill and ability and unim
peachable integrity alone will meet the
requirements,' and to endeavor to im
press upon the the minds of the voters
of the forty-third district the most 1
available man in whom to place these
important trusts as Senator is the pur
pose of this article. This man in our
opinion is new before the people a can*
didate for their suffrage —Col. J. C.
Fain, who in every crisis of whatever
character, where the opportunity was
his, has stood manfully up for every
right of his fellow-citizens, sacrificing,
always, if need be, his personal interests
for the good of his constituency, posses
ing the integrity, the firmness of pur
pose, and the will to see ths right tri
utnph, which promises unswerving de
votion to our best interests, well fitting
him for the important position which
he so ably held in the past, The field
of duty is no now one to him, and as
Gordon has the choice in this campaign,
if by the sanction of her sister counties
the unsought honors are again bestowed
upon Col. Fain, the office will have no
unworthy occupant. On the field of
battle he bore through the ills of conflict
a record untarnished, as, true to every
impulse of duty he stood to his country’s
cause till hope sank in the breast of
every Southerner, and on through the
years of his civil life succeeding he has
always answered duty’s call, as his many
generous acts bear the strongest tes
timony. To help the need)' h.is been
one of the prominent characteristics of
his nature, and no man ever possessed
a bigger, nobler heart.
In point of ability, which we have
endeavored to impress as a strong re
quisite in the present instance, Col.
Fain, with his experience in public liie
and his well known intellectual copac.
itics, would bo equal to the gravest
emergencies, ad would represent the
district with becoming devotion to its
every interest.
In a letter to Judge Pittman, the
Prohibition candidate for Governor,
Win. Lloyd Garrison, referring to Pres
ident IJa e’ policy, says : '‘Without
i oj uuging th ! motives of the President
I regard his policy as a flagrant betrayal
of the trust sd confidingly commit
ted to his hands, as in violation of his
pledges to see full protection secured to
all clashes at the S >uth. without regard
to complexiion or distant 0 s, an I as
fraught with incalculable mischief
Rejoicing, as it does, the hearts,
strengthening the hands and facilitating
the plans of the Southern conspiato s
against law and order, liberty aud equal
rights, it indicates a childish crelution,
a blindness of vision, an imbecility ol
judgment equally surprising and dj
plorable, and the Republican party can
not sanction it without impeaching its
entire course from the opening of the
Rebellion to the close of President
Grant’s administration. The Democrat
tic party justly claims it as its own,and
is jubulant accordingly. It is cause for
the deepest humiliation that the Re*
publican party in Massachusetts, at its
State Convention at Worchester, went
back upon its patriotic record, and gave
its unqualified approval to this shameful
surrender to the demands of those whose
feet run to evil, and who make haste to
shed innocent blood.”
General Bedford Forrest, the great
Confederate cavalry officer died at 7:30
Monday evening, at the residence of his
brother, Colonel Jesse Forrest, on Un
ion street, Memphis, Tennessee.

Swiss Colonics in the South.
A Swiss colony settled on Cumber-
Mountain, Tenn., in 1873. This col
ony which consists of one hundred and
fifteen families, making a company of
about seveu hundred people, purs
chased ten thousand acres of mountain
land at one dollar per acre, and now
although only four years have elapsed
each head of the family has a comforta
ble hoiqe, surrounded by au orchard
and garden and decorated with a pro
fusion of mountain flowers. There is a
large store that is managed for the col
ony, members of which g,et goods
from it at wholesale cost; the colony
ha3 its own school, church, doctors,
&c., and- the members their own candi
dates to govern the districts in which
they live. The colonists already have
dairies and cheese factories in success.-
ful operation, and all their products find
ready sale, and command fancy prices.
They have splendid herds of cattle, and
their barns are built as carefully as
their houses. There is also a colony of
Swiss near Greenville, S. C., about as
large as the Tennessee colony, and it is
prospering finely.
Tue Difference.
The Washington correspondent of the
New Yo’-k Tribune confesses that the
Republicans in and out of Congress are
discouraged and demoralized, which, he
says, they need not be if they will look
at the Democrats, “who have taken de,.
feat piled on defeat for nearly twenty
years, aud after eacli successive buffet
ing come up smiling and resolute for
the next contest.” But the Democrats
have what the Republicans have—cer
tain broad fundamental principles of
government —whose inherent and un
conquerable vitality has resisted every
shock. It is these principles, “the same
yesterday, to-day and forever,” which
have enabled the Democartic party to
pass unscathed through a fiery ordeal
and emerge radiant and triumphant at
last. Instead of principles the Repub
lcms have expedients, and when the
expedients fail there is no rallying point
no cohesive) power to hold the party to
gether. Democratic defeat means “pick
the flint and try it again.” Republi
can defeat means ran to the rear and
lay down and howl. — St. Louis Repub
lican.
