PAVING Che Debt in treenbaeks.

The Democrats Of the West are bent on having
Pendleton as their candidate for The Presidency,
with the scheme of paying the national debt in
greenbacks for his principal recommendation
Whether that scheme is or is not population under
another name many enquirers are DESTROYS of know
ing. The exposition of the scheme as given by a
thorough Democratic paper viii answer the ques-
tion, and for the benefit Of those who ssk il copy
the following from The Chicago Times Of Deeemb her
l, 1887:
The grand feature of this scheme is what's called
payment of the national debt in greeabaeks.' Il
contemplates new issue of greenbseks, equal in
amount to the bonds which it is proposed to redeem
Over twelve hundred millions of fve-twenty bonds
will become redeemable before 1872. Five hundred
millions are redeemsble now. The way to pay
Them according to this plan is to set the printing
black hold out we will have no trouble in paying
the bonds at maturity. When all have been thus
paid, we shall have added to cur psper-money the
trifing imitation of about 81, 500, 100000, making,
all told, circulating medium of 100000 00O-
Then we shall have what are called good times
splendid times! Wheat and greenbacks will be
exchanged bushel for bushel. A barrel Of whisky
will be sold for two barrelr Of legal tenders. Ced-
lectors of Government revenue will 60 about with
| wagons having lofty and eapacious receptseles on
them like those used in handling charcoal, and viii
gather in the public taxes with pitchforks To levy
five dollars in gold will require one-horse wagon
load of grOenbacks But the Government bonds
viii be paid. The only question will be how to pay
the Government green backs. This IS something the
plan does not contemplate.

FOrney Opens his Batteries.

The suppOsition that Colonel Forney had resign
ed in order to be perfectly free in his editorial COM
ments the course of Senators, is confirmed by his
leading article this morning, which occasioned
much talk in all political circles, and the character
of which can be judged by the following extract
As the Secretary of State, when defeated at Chi
cago in 1860, made up his mind TO destroy the Re-
publican party, to which end his efforts have been
directed ever since; as Andrew johnson abandoned
the friends who elected him, and thenceforward
used al the powers of the Presidential office TO de-
stroy them as the Chief Justice, soured by disap-
pointment, has sought to create division in the
Republican ranks, and, possible, 10 defeat General
Grant, so, Senators Fessenden and Grimes have
united with the common enemy at the most criti-
cal hour in the history of our party and of oar
country, and added their names to the catalogue Of
the disappointed 1t is useless to close our eyes to
the fact that the Chief Justice has persistently
sought to divide the Republican party and to defeat
the Impeachment of the President, and that in this
effort he has been aided by those Senators whose
personal and political luminosity toward that ster-
ling patriot Benjamin F. Wade, has been stronger
than their devotion to their party their country.

Old Rebel documents.

1t is refreshing to read the rebel publications Of
former days We clip the following from the
Knoxville Register Of Dec, I. 1851:
BRIDGE BURNERS HUNG IN eREENEvILLE
We received last night the following dispatch
from GreeEeville:
GREENEvrLLE, Nov. 80, 1s6l-5:I5 p. M.-Just
forty minutes ago Henry Fry and Jacob W. Hen
chic hung az this place, dead dead, dead, for
bridge burning It was done by military authority
Fl. G.. RoBEsToN
Col. Lead6etter, a firm and determined officer, is
in command, we believe of the military post at
Greeneville-Ool Stovall's battalion forms part of
his command. We presume the prisoners were tried
by drum-head court martial. Fry, it will be re-
membered, was the captain Of the Lincolnite COM
psny who fred upon our troops q couple of months
since, killing one and subsequently making his es-
cape. This, we have reason TO believe, is but the
beginning. The Government has tolerated the trea-
son of these misguided men until forbesrance has
ceased TO be virtue, We have reason TO believe
that hereafter all who ars caught in arms against
The Confederate Government, giving aid and COM
fort 70 the enemy, otherwise melting rebellion
will be summarily dealt with. Tie blood of these
rasd men rests not only upon the traitors johnson
and Maynard, but upon others more insidious, who
in our midst have helped 20 confirm them in their
delusion.

Hon. John II. Bolts Articles Of I'm.
peachment Against His Aecfdency
John Tyler, an Illustr!Ous Prede-
GeSsOF OF Andrew Johnson.

To the Editor Of tie Cincinnati Gazette
No wonder Mr. Bolts is now an ardent impeach-
err for in 1912 he drew up smong others, the fol-
lowing charges against Tyler, so much more perth
nent to johnson:
charge John Tyler with gross usurpaton Of
power and violation of law.
charge him with the high crime and misde-
mesnor Of endeavoring to excite a disorganizing
and revolutionary spirit in the country by inviting
disregard Of and disobedence TO law Of Con-
gress, which law be has himself sworn 20 see faith
fully executed.
charge bin with the high crime and INSIDE
meanor in office of Withholding his assent 10 laws
| indispensable to the operations of Government
l charge him with gross official misconduct in
having boen guilty of shanaslsas Implicitly equiv
ocation and falsehood, with Congress, such as has
brought him into disgrace and contempt with the
whole American people and has disqualified him
from administering this Government with sdvan-
tage, honor, virtue.
l charge him with an arbitrary and despotie
abuse Of the veto power to crafty his personal and
political resentment, with such evident marks of
inconsistency and duplicity TO leave no room 70
doubt his perfect disregard Of the interests of the
people, and Of his duty TO the country.
charge him with the high misdemeanor of ar
raging himself in open hostility to the legislative
department of the Government by the publication
Of sanderous and lbelous letters over his own sig
nature with view Of creating false and unmsrited
9ympathy for himself, and bringing Congress into
disrepute and odium with .he people, by which
means that harmony between the Executive and
Legislative Departments so essential 10 good gov
eminent and the welfare of the people, has been
utterly destroyed
/ charge him with pursuing such a course of va
citation, weakness and folly as must if he is per-
mtted to remain longer at the head Of the Govern
ment bring the country into dishonor and disgrace
abroad, and force the people into state of abieot
misery and distress at home
charge him with being utterly unworthy and
iinht to have the destinies Of this nation In his
hands a. Chief Magistrate and with having brought
upon the Representatives of the people Ibe imns+l
Gus necessity Of exercising the constitutional pre-
rogstive Of impeachment

The Death of VIM. L. YaneY.

Under the above head, we find the fol
lowing paragraph in the Northern press
VIM. L. Yancy died in Richmond shortly
after his return from an unsuccessful Con
federate mission abroad 1t has not gen
orally been known that the cause of his
death was violence. He was Senator from
Alabama in the Confederate Congress, and
in course Of hot debate on the abstract
doctrines of State rights and the divinity
Of slavery, with a Senator from Georgia,
he received 'the lie" from his Antagonist.
Yancy Immediately leaped forward 20
strike, but was caught and violently thrown
back over desk by his opponent, serious
ly injuring his spine. He was carried
away, a vote Of secrecy was passed, and in
a few weeks he died. It is only lately that
the case has become known
Ben. Hill, of Georgia, is said to have been
the Senator

The Eleventh Article,

Our readers will be anxious to see the famous ar
ticle upon which the Court Of Impeachment have
voted. Here is the article:
Article H. That said Andrew johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States, unmindful OF the high
duties of his Office and dignity and proprieties
thereof, and of the harmony and courtesles which
ought TO exist and be maintained between the Ex-
ecutive and Legislative branches of the Govern
ment, designing and intending to set aside the
rightfu authority and powers of Congress, did at
tempt 10 bring into disgrace, rdicule contempt and
reproaeh, the Congress Of the United States and
the several branches thereof to impair and destroy
the regard and respect Of a the good people Of the
United States for the Congress and Legislative
power thereof, which all officers Of the Govern
ment ought inviolatey to preserve and maintain,
and to excite the resentment Of all the good people
of the U United States against Congress and the laws
by It duly and constitutionally enacted, and in pur
susnce Of his said design and intent openly and
publicly, and before divers assemblages of the cti-
of the United States, convened in divers parts
thereof to meet and receive Andrew johnson, as
the Chief Magistrate of the United States, did, on
the 18th day of August, in the year of our Lord,
1885, and on divers other days and times, as well
before as afterward, make and deliver with loud
voice certain Incorporate and scandaous harangues,
threats and bitter menaces as we'll against Congress
the laws Of the United States duly enacted there
by amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multi
tude then assembled and in hearing which are set
forth in the several specifications hereinafter writ
ten In substance and effect, that is to say, the
tice IS supported by three specifications giving
tracts from speeches of Andrew johnson in Wash
ington, August Is; at Cleveland Ohio, September
3 ; at St. Loris, Missouri, September 8, ls6e.'
The specifications concluded; Which said utter
noes, declarations, threats and hsrangues highly
censurable, in any, are peculiarly indecent ana an .
becoming in the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, and whereof the said Andrew johnson has
brought the high Office of President of the United
States into contempt, ridicue and disgrace, and 10
the great scandal of good citizens, whereby said
Andrew johnson, President Of the United State
did commit and was there and then guilty Of a high
misdemeanOr in Office

/" The PROOF

The Nashville BanHsr recently said Of Governor
! BrownlOw
4" He stated a few weeks ago IN bis paper, under
his own Signature, that there never would be any
militia called out by him.
To this false statement the Governor replied
The charges that be stated under bis own sig
nature, that there never would be any militia called
out by him. Is simply NOT TRUE, and he calls for
the proof"
The Banner then quotes the following part of an
editorial from the WING aud calls it q the proof -
+" The bill Militia Bill now before the Legisla-
ture s totally inadequate TO enable the Governor TO
effect contamination so devoutedly to be wished,
and he will not therefore, 60 through the farce of
attempting IL. Neither the Knoxville WIG or any
other paper will ever contain proclamation from
the Governor calling out single man under the
bill"
Why not have the honesty at the start 10 say the
Governor had stated authoritatively that be would
not call out troops under particular and totally
inadequate bill? This statement of the case did not
Iuit the Banners malignant purposes.

pose Of nominating Republican candidate for
Congress for the I'd Congressional District in the
November election, and also to nominate a candi-

several counties in the District respectfully
quested to at call county meetings and send a
