The Campaign of Slander and False hood Meets With a Cutting re-buke-A Manly Defense to a Malicious Assault. ("Iiutlniiooga Thill's. Tho Nashville eorrc spondent of the Timed ycteiday gave the details of tho sensational attitude that llie State gubernatorial canvass was reaching. Tho excitement was inteiiHificd great ly on Tuesday by tho declaration of the Nashville Herald (Col. Colyar's paper) which has heen JJ.ixter's chief organ, that unless lie denied the charges of disloyalty to the Democratic party they could no longer endorse him. On Wednesday Mr. Baxter pub lishes a sweeping denial of the charges of Editor Carmaek, and idiows why his answer did not appear tho day the charge was made. Ho says the charges aro malicious slanders, but he treats the matter in a dignified and . manly manner, in a way that will make him muny menus, and cause tho slanders to recoil on his traducers with damaging ellect. liiscaru is as follows : TlIK CARD FROM M It, BAXTER. To The American : I have been for several days fufill ing appointments in West Tennessee mado some ten days ago. My engage' nienls are to speak each day this week. On last Sunday I wrote to a fiiend in Nashville a reply to your cd i'.oi irtl of last Saturday. He, think ing some of tho language too severe decided not to publis'.i it until he could see me personally, which he did to .dav. It will thus le seen that the .teeming delay in my reply is not my :fault. You charge lhat I am not a Demo crat. This charge is false. I have never voted any other than a Demo' emtio ticket in my life, and I have nl ways voted that ticket. I have never afliliated with or sympathized with any other political party. Vou attempt to give your version of a discussion which whs had between . your editor, Mr. Carmaek, and myself on a railroad train two years ago in relation to the tariff. I remember that I did have a (lis cussion with Mr. Carmaek on a railroad train. He did, as ho has always done, advance his ultra, impractical dogma of absolute fiee trade, and insisting that it was and ought to be the policy of the Democratic party. I denied that it had ever been the policy of the party, and insisted lhat the platform on which Mr. Cleveland was elected an nouiiced the correct doctrine, and went as far as tho Democrats could afford to go upon the tariff question I said I regretted that Mr. Cleve land had written what was known as the tariff message, because it had been construed by the people as an interpretation by him that the plat form on which he was elected favored absolute frco trade, and I thought that such interpretation would result his defeat, as it did. I said that I thought it was a mistake on the part of Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Cleveland must himself have afterwards thought bo, because he attempted to explain his message, ami to show that he did not intend to advocate free trade. I insisted that the indrustries of the South, which were being rapidly de. veloped, would need some protection for some time to come, and a tariff for revenue ought to bo so adjusted as to protect them as long as they needed it. I insisted that if the Democratic party took the extreme position of ab solute free trado it would give to the Republican party the credit of favor ing the Southern industries, and would injure the Democratic party in the South. As to your statement that I place myself in line with the Republican paity, or that I give to the Republi can party the credit for all the pros perity we enjoy, it is, to speak mildly, nothing more than your perverted m ference from what I did say. The discussion was between Mr. Carmaek as an ultra free trado Democrat, and myself, a9 a Democrat standing upon the platform upon which Mr. Cleve land was elected, and you have no more right to claim lhat I place myself v in line with tho Republican party be cause I differ from Mr Carmack.than I would have to charge him with being a Kemiblican, because he differed with me on the tariff question. It is oi course impossible for me to remember everything that was said by either of us in a discussion that took place two years ago; that I said anything from which a fair-minded man could draw the inference that I was a Republican, either in politics or sympathy, is absolutely false. You charge that I aro supported by he Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company, lhat is false. I am not supported by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Roilroad Company, as you al lege, and this you well know Tim best evidence of which 13 your opposition to me becaus the same men who control tho Ten nessee Coal. Iron & Railroad Com pany control the American. You charge that I am supported by tho Coal, Iron A Railroad Company and by the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway Company. This false. 1am not suppoited by either friends in both companies, and sup pose that there are persona in each of them who are opposed to me. It is true, bb you have alleged in a previous issue of your paper, that one of my brothers is the attorney of the Louis ville & Nashville Railroad Company, and of course he is for me. But if be has used either his personal or profes sional influence with the officers or employes of said company in my be half, it has been without my solicita tion or knowledge, and I do not be lieve that it has been done at all. You insinuate that I have paid newspapers in this state to support me. This charge is false. You charge me of being a- lobbyist. I suppose yon refer to my opposition in the Legislature to the passage of what was known aa the "Railroad Commis sion bill." I did oppose that bill, with many of the best Democrats in the State, and, though it was passed by the Legislature, it was made an issue in the next State canvass, and at the next session was repealed by a Demo cratic Legislature and no Democratic Legislature since that time has ever proposed to re-enact it. You charge that I am supported by the lessees of the penitentiary. This chargo is false. Bocause the Tennes see Coal, Iron & Railroad Company is the lessee of the Tennessee peniten tiary, and, aa I have stated above, the officers of that Company control your paper, and your paper has al ways opposed me. I am sup ported by Dr. Morrow, who has sub-leased some ot the convicts from the lessees of the penitentiary. I have sent you this communication out of respect to your subscribers and readers, many of whom are my best friends. I have no idea that you will do me justice in your columns, and expect, 'on the contrary, that you will use every effort in your power to de feat me. This you have a right to do, and, on the other hand, all the other Democrats in the State have the right, if they see proper, to give me their support. I do not recognize any more now than I did in 1888 the right of Mr. Carmaek and the few men who are "training" with him to read me out of the Democratic party, nor do I recognize the right of Mr. Carmaek, or the American, to dictate to the Demo cratic party of this State on any ques tion affecting the action of the party. With this communication I shall leave you to purepe your unfair and preju diced course as may best accord with your ideas of propriety. T ' f.l . 1 wm go on wiui my canvass as i have commenced it, and I shall not be deterred by anything that may ap pear in your columns, having an abid ing faith in and relying upon the good sense and fair dealings of the Demo cratic party of the State. Haying, upon your invitation, writ ten this reply to the charges, I feel that I havo a right to expect that you will give it the same circulation that you have given the charges. Jkke Baxter. Union Citv,Tenn., June 23. That Three C's Suit News ond Courier. The report that suits had been en tered against the Three C's Road which would effect its ownership was published for what it was worth in the News and Courier. The question, however, was asked in the News and Courier whether it was a hoax or a bluff. . It appears to have been both, with dash of something else. A telegram received yesterday by Mr. W. S. Bird of this city, from Vice-President Bent ley, of the Three C's Road, in Cincin nati, stated that there was nothing in the report, and that he considered it "bluff." It appears that the suit contemplated does not in any way affect the ownership of the road, be ing merely a claim for compensation EVERY INDICATION THAT THE ROAD 18 , ALIVE, VKlOROl'S AND ACTIVE. Correspondence o( Greenville News.) Blacksruro, June 19. Notwith standing he sensational articles that have appeared in some ol the Mate papers, so far as your correspondent can learn, the Three C's is moving on teadily. " New work is being dona at this place and new machinery and supplies are arriving daily. Irack laying is being pushed between Ruth erford ton and Marion. The Augus ta division is being graded as fast as the contractors can push tho work. Work on the Northern division is be ing pushed ahead at Johnson City. Taking all things together, I see no reason for anyone to doubt the ability of the company to push the work to completion. From the best lights I can gather the Rialey matter has more sensational gas abou it than anything else and it will no doubt ex plode from spontaneous combustion without damaging anybody and only benefitting the lawyers who are con ducting the suit. Nashville's Great Drop, Nashville, Tenn., June 26. Su pervisor Smithson to-night gave out the unofficial figures ( the population of Nashville at 72,45(5.

Wash all marble daily with ammo nia and water in place of soap-suds. To disiufect sheets, &c, soak in chloride of lime solution, wring out and boil. Wash mirrors in warm suds, then dust with whiting from a muslin bag and polish with chamois skin. Cesspools, Ac, should be well covered on top with amixtuieot chloride of lime with ten parts of dry sand.

A wineglass of strong borax water in a pint of raw starch will make col lars and cuffs stiff and glossy. Rub your lamp chimneys after washing with dry salt, and you will bo suiprised at the new brilliancy of your lights. Silver moths are very sensitive to pungent odors, and cayenne pepper sprinkled on the shelves would drive them away. Currant Catsup.

The comfort of most parlors nowa days, and their beauty, too, does not depend on expensive pieces of furni ture so much as in cozy chairs and tables scattered about, and filled with attractive things. How to Wash Corsets. Rip out the steels, wash without wringing or twist ing (which puts the bones out of shape,) starch in good boiled starch, and stretch in shape when ironed.

The salt mountains located on tho banks of the Rio Virgin, an aflluent of the Colorado river in Lincoln county cover an area of twenty-five miles, ex tending to within seven miles of tho junction of that stream with the Colo rado. The salt they contain is pure and white, and clfarer than glass, and it is said that a piece seven or eight inches thick is senietimes clear enougl to see through to read a newspaper Over the salt is a layer of sandstone from two to eight feet thick, and when this is torn away the salt appears liko a huge snowdrift. How deep it is has not yet been ascertained, but a single blast of gun-powder will blow out tons of it. Under the cap rosk have been discovered charred wood and charcoal and matting made of cedar bark, which the salt has preserved, evident ly the camp of prehistoric man.

Hughes, Who was born in Sullivan county, Tcnn., September 2d, and died at bis home, nine miles northwest of Blount ville, Juno I'd, 1800, aged eighty-three years and nine months, the homo where he had spent sixty-threo years of his life, having been only tho third owner of the farm. On October Ll he was married to Isabel Anderson, with whom ho lived, happily until October, 1S5-1, when God called her home, leaving him with two eons and one daughter. The sous both soon followed their mother ; the daugh ter is still living. Again, on the 17th of December, 1837, at Block House, Va., he was married to Fannie R. Anderson, who died the 4th of July, 187-1, leaving him with two daughters and one son, all of whom survive him. His last wifo was a sister of the late Joseph It. An derson, of Biistol, Tenn. He was a man of a quiet, retiring disposition, a devoted husband and a kind father, ever patient and gentle in his family; a man of pure moral character and of spotless integrity. His neighbors ever found in him an obliging and true friend, ever ready to extend a helping hand. Ho wad ener getic, painstaking and economical. Mr. Hughes was an exemplary Christian, having been a member of the Presbyterian church at Arcadia, Tenn., and an elder in the same for a number of years. He was always punctual in his attendance upon tho services of the sanctuary with his fam ily until enfeebled by the infirmities of old age, yet that rod and stafl'of God's word, which had been his stay and comfort through life, did not for sake him in old age, but was wilji him to comfort and sustain through tho ,'alley of the Shadow of Death.
