Editor Herald: Again we come,
nol our own bidding, but at the request
of others, do we contribute the recent
news of our neighborhood for the Hkr
ald of this week. And right here,
what's the matter with the Heralds
that were due this point last Friday
eve? They've failed to come in, and
here it is Mouday night and no Herald
received yet. We are growing impa
tient. But nevertheless we change
our tone to give news.
Last Tuesday our community was
called upon to mourn and pay the last
tribute of respect to the remains ot
sister Thomas barton, an aged lady of
73 years, who departed this life last
Monday night at the residence of Mr.
Carrol Sellers, whero she had been
boarding for a short while. Her son
Mr. Crotl Irvine, of Birmingham, was
telegraphed for and came and attended
her during her brief illness. But now,
sho is sleeping in the silent keeping of
the Irvine Cemetery, awaiting, "'The
glorious appoaring of the great Uod and
our Savior Jesus Christ." Last Thurs
day the bier passed out en route to the
vicinity of Santa Fe to attend the re
mains of another aged lady, Mrs. Carth
son, who has quit the walks ol earth
and is numbered with the dead.

From our regular correspondent:
Washington. Jan. 20. Mr. Harrison
has succeeded by persuaion. bull-dor.in
and promise of pattonage in getting the
icuuircau ouiiawrs to maKe a last des
perate effort to perpetuate the power of
the republican party by passing the
force bill, and the fitrht is now on
wnicn is to result either in striking i
deadly blow at the liberty of the Amur!

wunoui a parauei in American annals
or in the nnai deieat of the bill.

publican Senators in support of the rev-
olutionary gag rule proposed by Senator
Aiuncu me republicans nave adopted

Senate to succeed in compelling the

ever since, except on Sunday, and is to
continue until the republicans tire of it
or succeed. i tie democrats are makinir
a grand hght in talkiug against tim
and express confidence of being able to
win.
How the democrotic Senators feel in
this matter may be iudized from the
following extract from a speech of Sena -
tor iteagan, wnicn reflects the senti
ments ot his democratic colleagues, ai.d.
nows that tney will never wiliinirlv
surrender: "As dear as my life is to
me, as God is my Judge, if I could save
the American people from the pending
measure by giving up my life, I would
surrender it as lreeiy as 1 ever per-
iormeu any act in my ine. ' it was an
imposing sight to see Senator Reatran
as lie stood, every teature showing his
earnestness "and sincerity, and spoke
these words, and it was not surprising
that they were greeted by an outburst
of deafening applause from the galleries,
wnicn Mr. Morton was qulcn to remove
by threatening to have the galleries
cleared.
senator Stewart on Saturday gave
notice oi a motion to recommit the elec
tion bill with instructions to the com
mittee to report it back with a provision
for the election of members of Congress
on days when no other elections are
held in the several states; and this mo
tion may be made the excuse for getting
ridot the bill quietly when the republi
cans discover their inability to pass it,
for if it is recommitted to the committee
it will never get before the Senate again.
Notwithstanding their having made
speeches against the Force bill Senators
Teller, Wolcott and Stewart are now
acting with and voting with their re
publican colleagues in their efforts to
pass the bill. This is significant, in as
much as it shows that the democrats
need expect no help from republicans
in defeating the bill.

is in far more danger from Speaker
Reed's opposition than it is irom a

dacity and the nerve to resort to any
methods to deieat it, and n he doesn't
attempt to do so, it will only be be
cause he prefers seeing Air. Harrison,
whom ne disuses' very much, weaken
and sign it, as I believe he will, it it
passes the House. Mr. Harrison has
made threats betore, but his spinal
column has always wilted when the
time came to carry them out.
Another erstwhile prominent repub
lican is in the toils ot the law. W. P.
Canaday; who for many years, because
of his ability to control the North Caro
lina delegation to republican national
conventions, held the position of Ser-
reant-at-Arms ot the united States
senate, has been arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses. And ve
gods, how cheap he sold his character.
The amount he obtained on a worthless
check was just $35.
Some startling exposures will shortly
be made by the House Committee
which is investigating the silver pool

whom are ssenator Stewart and Journal
Clerk Smith of the House, shall refuse
to tell the committee what they are al
leged to have told to private parties.
The democratic leaders of the House
are carefully watching the proceedings

We bade farewell to home and friends
in Campbellsvilie on the seventh morn
ing or January. Hi; had a very pleasant
drive to Pu'aski, where we spent the
night. The next morning we: starte i
on our journey to the "far west." We
saw. on our tr P. many sights, new and
beautiful to n e, the tall pine trees, with
their weaitn oi moss noaiing jjraoeiuir
in the wind, and palm were plentifu"
In the low, flt helda through which we
parsed. Orange trees, laden with beau
ful yellow oranges were in profusion.
We spent nearly a whole dav in New
Orleans, but the weather was so disa
greeable we oouid nt see much or the
city. It was a great novelty to us -to
watcn tne ooats cross ine river, me
waves were rolling high and the great
Mississippi seemed to oe in a perfect
tumult. We reached the city of Hous
ton. Texas at about eight o'clock next
morning, where we spent the hours
very pleasantly. We passed through
some beautiful country that day, and
reached our journey's end at four in the
afternoon, where loved ones were wait
ing to meet us. The wind has been
blowing ever since .we came, as if King
Aeolus had unlocked the door of his
cavern and given the winds permission
to roam at win. we nave oau two
small rains this week, and Ihe drea led
black mud keeps us in doors. The
country here is a little rolling -not so
level as some we saw on the road but
it is considered fine farming country.
There is a large number ot Tennesseans
in and around Manor, and several of
our Giles county acquaintances have
b en in to see us since we arrived. As
the roads have been so - we c i d not
