)ne man in the county pays more
AK than the whole Radical party
If the county. Is not that SO?
A voice, yes.)
The national debt amounts to
he fabulous sum of $3,000,000,-
700, with an annual interest of
$3.50, 100000. The
STATE DEBT
is S30,000,000 outside railroad
Indebtedness. 1t used to take
about $4,000 to run the Legis-
lature. 1t now takes nearly one
million dollars for the same pur-
pose.
THE GOVERNORS STAFF
costs us $4,000. The law gives
the Legislature 81 per day-they
took IS. Lincoln county paid a
State tax of $4,000 before the
war, but now it is something over
SAL, 600.
The difference in Radical legis-
lation!! and Radical dishonesty |!
THE SCHOOL FUND.
What has become of it? $780,
600 has been certainly stolen, and
the chance for finding the balance
is about as slim as Brownlow's
prospects for Heaven.
THE BANK OF TENNESSEE
has been put in liquidation by the
Radicals. Its issues are worth %
cents in the dollar.
THE UNION AND PLANTERS BANKS
are at par, just because they are
controlled and managed by honest
men.
The Radicals say the State debt
was contracted by the Rebels
This is a LIE. The debt was repu.
dated by them. He reviewed the
LEGISLATURE
and the elements of which it was
composed. 1t was the fruits of
the General Ticket System. II
was elected Conservative, but
Brownlow has converted it into
an engine Of oppression. They
became intoxicated at their frst
taste of power. He noticed brief
ly the
! OUTRAGEOUS DECISION
Of our Supreme Judges on the
Franchise Lar, their eXtraordina
ry conduct in resigning, accepting
a re-appointment with an addition
to their salary of $500.
Every good man was glad of
the surrender, but there was {
party who said the war did no
last long enough by tro gears
The Rebels who surrendered have
been faithful and kept their pa
roles. Grant could ask fo
the pardon of Lee, but the Radical
want blood.
Brownlow used his Radical coml
to catch one of the vermin foI
Judge In West Tenn, but coult
not catch one with brains enough
and had to take a greasy Rebe
at last, who, by-the-way, wa
very competent to fill the position
MAYNARD

to negro suffrage, but now he i

useless expense to the State
/ During an election there shoule
not be even a shoa0 of militar,

are marched two miles from
the place of election. Presiden
Lincoln signed bill of the sam

Gals now. A militia officer a
