Satuday. November, 1877 ©UR SEX VIOKIAL CONT EH T. 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. There are 71 ex coufederates in the house, ten more than last year. ’There are 15 in the Senate. 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. gulmtisemtutsi. \v. \v.
