The observant cannot but see IN
the events at Washington during
the past week, that money and mil
itary rank has the precedence; and
cannot fail to be impressed with
the fact that it is a most deplorable
sign of the times. We DO not Sc
riOusly charge a sinister or corrupt
motive in the scene that transpired
the day before the in auguration-
a deputation Of men Of overgrown
wealth headed by A. T. Stewart,
formally waiting on the incoming
President and presenting him with
purse of gold, the price of a gift
previously made to him, and the
Gift itself donated to the man who
in three days was to be the General
of the Army. We do say, however,
that this does not look we'll 1t is
not that scrnpulous public virtue
which would do no act at which
suspicion dared to look. Wealth is
d great and healthy thing, and
should not be decried 1t is con-
sentative and commendable. But
when its possessors band together
and tender largessos and fees of re-
tainer to high officials, its whole
some uses in the State are perverted.
When the money Of the few subsi-
dies the forces of government,
popular liberty is doomed.

vention than heretofore announced.
1t is curious how this plot has
worked out. Brownlow was in
duced to proclaim martial law in
nine counties and order the militia
sent there, only few days before
he retired from office. Senter's
first intimation of this move
ment was his seeing the procla-
nation. To show the indelicacy
of Brownlow thus lettering his sue
cessor, it is only necessary to state
that even Judge Laucke has reported
to Governor Senter that there was
not the slightest necessity for mi
litia in Jackson county, and the
Radical Representative in the Leg
islature from Lawrence, published
a card stating that there were no
complaints from his county of out
RACES, and that the militia were
wholly unnecessary there. Is there
a man so blind as not TO see that
this was a plot to embarrass Senter
and to enure to the benefit OF
Stokes2 If Mr.. Senter aspires to
something more than to bear the
title of Governor by the accident OF
inheritance, he will have to meet
and conquer these conspirators in
his own party. He must appeal tc
the men of honor and principle in
his party to sustain him in an effort
to give the State an honest and
economical a administration. Ht
must appeal to this class of men il
his party to rally around and sup
port him in an honest effort to res
cue the State from the politica
shysters and tricksters who hav'
conspired to secure the offices fo
their own aggrandisement.

THE Philadelphia Press, one Of
Forney's "two papers, both daily,
calls on Grant and Congress torec-
ognize the rebels in Cuba as belli
gerents. The Press says in its issue
Of March 9:
A precedent for action in this case IL
easily found Fort Sumter was fred on
about the middle of April, 1861, and
aBont the middle Of June, lSGl-in less
than sixty days-the insurgents were
recognized by the government of Spain.

The Philadelphia Union Pilot,
RADICAL is kicking against
the ediets of what it terms "the
Knoxville junta" Of its own party.
That paper learns that "a few men
got together at Knoxville a few
days ago and agreed on who should

United States Offices in East Ten
nessee," whereat it exclaims: "The
fact is the Republican party of the
second congressional district have
ever since the close Of the war been
bamboozled and controlled by a
set of political abortions living in
Knoxville" These Radicals know
each other perfectly well.

WHEN Mr.. A. It. Stewart was
eagerly grasping after the position

ties during the next four years.

order to secure the prompt collection of
the revenue derived from taxes on real
estate and personalities, that all such
taxes shall be, and they are hereby de-

of July of each and every year for
which said taxes were assessed; and pro.
vided, the payment of said taxes is de-
ferred and not made before the following
first day of November Of each and every
year, penalty of two per cent on
amount of taxes to each person,
for such non-psYment shall be,

Collector, in addition to the regularly as,
sessed taxes; if not paid before the first
