29, 1879. A heavy frost fell at Memphis last Saturday morning, and the Board of Health baa issued a proclamation declaring the epidemic at an end, and that it is safe Tor refugees to return. Chattanooga Times: The Baltimore American after a talk with the Postmaster General remarks "Postmaster General Key was in Richmond when the news from Ohio indicating a sweeping victory for the Republicans was received. lie says he was surprised to notice the apathy with which it was received by all classes with whom he came in contact. Whenever opinions were expressed in 1iis hearing they generally indicated the satisfaction of the speaker at the result.

Democrats of that section were not favorable to the Ewing financial theories, and were glad to see them exploded. A3 a general thing, the people of Richmond have become wearied of the eternal wrangle over political matters, and especially tired of always being found on the losing side. They seem now to he devoting themselves to their own business with remarkable energy, and to local issues which have a direct bearing upon the commercial interests of this section." Virginia is doing, through her patriotic citizens, what Tennessee must sooner or later attend to tak ing control away from the demagogues and rogues and settling her commercial honor on a lasting foundation. She is emphatically "minding her own business," and will find great profit accrue from the exercise of self-control and thorough honesty of administration. The grand old State is setting an example her western children and successors ought to study and imitate.

A SA VA GE A TTA CK OF ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TENNESSEE. From the Nashville American we learn that following up some preconcerted signal or appointment, perhaps secretly circulated, about 40 or 50 persons assembled at Nashville, the other day, for the purpose of destroying the Democracy of Tennessee, and of raising up in its stead a great Don't-Owe-a-Cent" party, which is to gobble the State government by a forty thousand majority, The meeting of these conspirators was first held at the Maxwell House. It adjourned thence to the Commercial Hotel. Then to the Senate chamber and finally closed its grave deliberations in the hall of the House of Representatives. We understand this to have been a state uonvention and truly it wa9 a representative meeting, there having been persons present and participating from no lass than 13 out of the 94 counties of the State 1 One of the gentlemen present went all the way from East Tennessee.

Among the resolutions adopted were in substance the following: Favoring the payment of every dollar of the State debt proper; Nominating a low-tax candidate upon a low-tax platform by the next Democratic State Convention Opposing repudiation making no provision for settling tbe'debt, which shall be binding until ratified by the people. There were many other resolutions adopted which space forbids us copying or noticing, all, however, to the same general tenor and effect. Among the prominent personages present we notice the names of John H. Savage, Dorsey B. Thomas, A.

L. Landis, etc. We regret that we cannot give a full list of the persons present. We cannot, however, for several of them absolutely refubtd to give their names to the reporter, when asked to do so We record with sadness the fact that this meeting adjourned without fixing the time and place for any future meeting, aud without letting the world know what further attack it intends to make. But seriously we had not expected such a farce as was enacted by these men.

We had supposed they had a stronger following that they had matured their plans better. That the- would, at least, make a more consistent and, respectable showing than they did. POLITICAL RETRIBUTION. The Baltimore Sun declaring that the oVerthrow of. the Democratic party in Ohio is an additional proof, if any were needed, of the fact that there is euch a thing as political retribution, and that no party can desert its colors and throw away its principles in the elusive pursuit of imagined temporary advantages with out being punished for such recreancy, speaks as follows "The Democratic party in Ohio has broken its neck in trying to get away from Democratic principles.

The leaders who have attempted to lead it astray have perished in the common wreck, aid it must be confessed their fate excites but little sympathy. They have learned a lesson which will probbaly last them their life-time, and other leaders and managers ought to be in condition to profit by it. The principle of honest finance, no currency but what ress upon and is interchangeable with coin, was one of the distinctive articles of the creed of the Democratic party from its beginning. Hard money is part of its history and pervades all its traditions, from the days when Jackson fought 'the bank' and Old Bullion made war upon all paper money up to its overthrow in 1860. And yet when, after the civil war, the Republican party began to take measurers to repair the evil caused by the legal tender act by reducing the flood of irredeemable ourrency preliminary to resuming specie payments, they jumped upon the back of the hobby horae the Republicans had just dismounted from and set out to ride their alleged party to death upon the course of inflation.

There was never a worse case of political prostitution, nor one which has been more severely, more con-dignly punished. The Democrats who hold the "Ohio idea" in fact simply change places with those "advance" Republicans who, like Gen. Logan, for instance, preached the fame of the "blood-con9ecrated greenback." Mr. Pendleton and those who follow him out of the old Democratic lines into the opposite camp have alleged no better reason for upholding the legal tender char acter of the greenback than a desire to perpetuate a professed evil because it was adopted by the Republicans on the plea of war necessity, but as a ireasure to be abandoned as soon as possible. Thus it has happened through the perverse and almost un accountable folly of a faction.

that the hard money party of the country, par excellence, has been driven from its position, and all its traditions and inheritance usurped by its rival. There is but one thing far a party in this situation to do It must cast off its spurious leaders and return at once to its fir6t princi pies, from which it should have never permitted any man or set of men to alienate it. The result ma)' not be victory, indeed, for the chances of that have been well-nigh squandered, but it will at least se cure to the Democratic party the prospect of defeat with honor. Let no one venture to discount the full meaning of the Ohio election. The verdict of the people there IIoLstoii Conference; The postmaster at Louisville having refused to deliver letters addressed to the secretary of a lottery company, suit was commenced in the federal court to test the validity of the Postmaster General's order regarding lottery letters.

These shams have never made much bead way in this section of the country and now that the west has discard ed them finally, they will be permitted to die out quietly, and good for all." Washington special to the Cincinnati Enquirer: Judge Lea, who is Attorney General of Tennessee, got off a good thing before the staid Judges of the United States Supreme Court to-day, ana actually tney unrurieu tneir wrink les enougL to laugh. Lea proceeded to argue the case of Davis, a revenue offic er, who killed a man in Tennessee in the discharge of his duty, and who ap plies on a writ of certiorari to have the cause removed from the State to the Federal Court, Lea, as a prelude, said that he hoped that the Attorney General woula not carry the question of civil- rights into the case, inasmuch as the people of Tennessee were extremely loyal in fact, so much so that its Su preme Court had decided that under the fourteenth amendment it was no offense to play cards with a "nigger." In the case of Blair, the New York bank teller, tried on the charge of killing his coachman Armstrong, the jury, after four days' deliberation, brought in a verdict of not guilty. When in reply to the formal question the foreman of the jury responded not guilty, Blair gave a moaning cry and fell on his knees beside his wife. The whole court-room rang with applause.

Mrs. Blair and many of her friends wept, while the crowd in the court cheered in spite of a reprimand At 1 o'clock Blair was taken in a carri age to his home in Mount Clair. The jury it is understood, stood ten to two in favor of acquittal until last night lhe jury had been out 97 hours. AN INTERESTING SUMMARY OF NEWS UP TO SATURDAY NIGHT. Abingdon, Oct.

25th, 1879. To the Editor of the Morriatown Ooxette The amnual session of the Holston Conference of the M. E. Church, South, convened at Abingdon, on the 22d at 9 o'clock, a. m.

The attendance on the part of ministers and delegates is unusually large-one hundred and thirty-odd answering to the first roll call. Bishop Pierce is present and presides with dignity and unabated ability. Dr. McFerrin, agent of the Publishing House, is on hand and still doing hard work in behalf of the great interests committed to his care. Our own Dr.

Cunnyngham, the efficient Sunday School Secretary, is also with his brethren, urging the Church onward in this "work of faith and labor of love." Dr. Fitzgerald, the spicy editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, our excellent connectional organ, is also among us gentle as a May zephyr aDd redolent of blessings as the grand organ he weekly sends forth for eight hundred thousand Southern Methodists. We have also enjoyed greatly a visit from Dr. Sledd, of the Virginia Conference, who edits and publishes at Richmond. the Homeletic Monthly, one of the very best theological publications ever issued on this continent.

On last night he preached a sermon on the "Witness of the Spirit," the effects of which will live until the final consummation of all things. Your old time friend, Dr. McAnally, for many years a member of the Holston, now of the St. Louis Con ference, and editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate, has made his appearance once more among us, to the delight and edification of his brethren of this Conference.

lie comes to deliver a semi-centennial address, commemorative of his admission into the itinerant ranks at this place just fifty years ago. The Committee on Public Worship have designated tomorrow (Sabbath) evening at 7 o'clock and the Conference room as the place for the delivery of this eagerly looked for address. Happy will he or she be who obtains even standing room within hearing and sight of this able divine as he reviews fifty eventfulfyears of active life in the very front ranks of his beloy- ed Methodism. We have been blessed with other distinguished visitors, but time and space will not permit me even to mention their names. Every interest of the Church has prospered encouragingly during the Conference year just closing.

As an illustration, the contributions to the missionary treasury are more than four hundred dollars in excess of those, of last year. In addition to all of this, the women of the Church in the Holston Conference have contributed between four and five hundred dollars to carry on their work for women in heathen lands. The anniversary of the Conference Missionary 8ociety to night was the best I have ever attended. Very excel lent addresses were made by Drs. Cunnyngham, Fitzgerald and McFerrin.

Abingdon is full of old Virginia hos pitality. The members of the Conference seem to think they each have the best home. Your scribe is greatly in debted to Gov. Wyndham Robertson and his excellent christian family for their many acts of kindness. The Lord abundantly reward them for their goodness.

Wytheville, Morristown, Athens and Chattanooga all want the Conference next year. It will probably be fixed at Morristown, yet some think Athens will be the place. It is too early to even speculate as to the appointments of the preachers. We suspect, however, from the slight intimations we have had that there will be many disappointments to both preachers and people. The Conference will adjourn on Mon day evening or Tuesday, more probably the latter, as much yet remains to be done.

The preaching has all been good. To-morrow, Sabbath, the different pul pits of the town will be filled by mem bers of the Conference and the distin guished visitors in attendance. I only have space to say that Bishop Pierce will preach at 11 a. m. in Conference room.

Begging pardon for the length of this random letter, I remain, T. P. S. FUNERAL OF MAS. THORNBURGH.

Omaha, Oct. 21, 1879. The remains of Major Thomas T. Thorn-burgh, killed by the Ute Indians at. Milk River, arrived here from Raw-lings to-night.

Captain Dodge, of the Ninth Infantry, coming through on the same train. The remains were met at the depot by a detachment of the Knight Templar and escorted to the Masonic Hall, where they are now lying in state. In when, stationed at Fort Foote, Maryland, Lieutenant Thornburgh took the masonic degree of knighthood in the Demolay Commandery, No. 4 of Washington, and while on duty there was one of its most active members. Not until Sunday afternoon la3t was it certain that the condition of the remains would allow them to be brought here for burial, where Mrs.

Thornburgh and family reside. Demolay Commandery was then telegraphed, but too late to be represented by a delega Mod at the funeral to-morrow. In response they urged the Knight Templar of Nebraska to spare neither pains or expense in payiDg a fitting tribute to their gallant brother. Ex-Congressman Thornburgh, of Tennessee, brother of the deceased, is here and unites with old masons from the East in the statement that no mason ever received higher cr more appropriate funeral honors in this country.

The forthcoming annual report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office will contain an interesting com parative statement of the disposals of public lands to actual settlers during each or tne last nve nscai years.

The total range from about 3,500,000 to 4 000,000 acres each for the fiscal years of 1875, 187(5 and 1877 to 7,100,974 acres for the year ending June 30, 1878, and 8,650,119 acres during the twelve months ending with last June. The cash sales shows a decrease of 25,500 acres since last year, when they aggre gated about 877,000 acres. But the net increase in the amount of land taken by actual settlers the last fiscal year is round to have been nearly 1,500,000 acres. It will be remembered that after the conviction of Buford for shooting Judge Elliott, at Frankfort, the prisoner made an appeal to the highest court in the State, and the Court ot Appeals declined to hear the case on the ground that the judges were interested parties. For the purpose of a rehearing a special court was ordered, and Governor Blackburn appointed the Hon.

From every quarter- in all lines of trade, with scarcely any exception, there are cheery tidings of the arrival of more prosperous times.
