FALSE REPORTS.

There appears to be systematic
effort to create the impression that
Tennessee is on the verge of an
archy. The following from the
Cincinnati Chronicle Of the 18th
inst. is a specimen:
Affairs in Tennessee are reported to
be in a very bad state. Lawlessness and
disorder prevail to an alarming extent in
many counties, and without some better
protection than the State government
affords, hundreds of psaceable Union
men will be driven out by the now de-
fiant Rebels. Negroes are msltreated in
all quarters, and are obliged to arm in
self-defeHce, as best they may. A
Northern man who has resided in Ten>
nessee for nearly thirty years, a support
er of Governor Senter, whose only offs
tense is his loyalty during the war, called
upon US to-day, on his way North,
whittier he is emigrating, in common with
numerous others who feel compelled to
seek more quiet homes. The effect Of
the late election has been most disas-
trous, and those who counsel oblivion Of
the past are entirely mistaken as to the
Rebel spirit"
The Chronicle has been most
shamelessly imposed upon, or it is
endeavoring to impose upon its
readers in order to help out the
Radicals in Ohio. We undertake to
say that no such person as ga
Northern man who has resided in
Tennessee for nearly thirty years
has been disturbed in the least on
account of his Unionism, and that
no such person has been compelled
to leave the State because Of
his political sentiments. He
is unquestionabIy an impostor.
Those Northern men who have
left the State TO return North,
if there be any such, have done so
from other motives than fear of
"Rebcls." Northern men are just
as safe in Tennessee to day as ma
tive born citizens are. The hub
bub about Iawlessness and disorders
prevailing in this State to an alarm
ing extent, is gotten up to influence

TIE BOGUS mEMRERs.

The New York World strongly
fortifes the position of the Union
AND AMERICAN in regard to the lilies
gality of certain members elected
to the Legislature, as follows:
From the less one learns the greater.
il seems that in Tennessee they have
state Of things somewhat resembling
that which aftlicts the community at
large, to wit q set of bogus legislators
who owe their right to hold their Office
not to any provision in the constitution,
but to a legislation Outside the oOnstitus
ton" Thus there are eight members
Of the Tennessee House who are mem
bers not by provision for their election
in the State constitution, but by virtue
Of schedule tackled to said constitution
at the time Of its institution in 1868
Now, as is well known, the schedule to a
constitution is not part Of the constitu
ton, but merel y ministerial, like the act of
legislation ordering the assemblage of the
convention which frames the constitution,
and so soon as the fundamental law is
got in twoIkiDg order the schedule be-
comes functus OtficiO, null, imperative,
and void. Not to 90 into detail Of cases
where it has been emphatically de-
cided that such is the sole force Of
constitution schedule, we need but refer
to the latest instance on the subject
the declaration, to wit, of Mr.. Grant, in
his proclamation of 10th July, 1869, sub
hitting the reconstructed constitution of
Mississippi to the vote, that what is
known as the schedule thereto, sections
fourteen and fifteen inclusive, is not to
be held or considered ss any part of said
constitution.
'Such being the status Of a schedule
TO a State constitution, it follows that
the Tennessee schedule of 1865 is now
legally imperative, and has been since
the instrument to which it was tempOraS
rily ancillary went into operation. By
consequence, the election from 1866 to
1869 Of the eight extra members al
lowed in 1865 by this schedule has been
constantly illegal; and against repeti~
ton Of this illegally in the future, and
10 meet its present consequences, it is
now puTpOsed in Tennessee to provide
by simply following out the law
as hereinbeiOTo indicated on the
subject of the validity and obliga-
ton Of schedules. OF course, any such
action will lead to an i'm mense amounto
bowling and roaring in the Radical camp
it SO happening that the present eight
extra members elect are all from one
locality East Tennessee-and trooly
lOil To this it is sufficient answer that
all tho members allowed by the cOnsli
tuition of Tennessee, irrespective of To-
cality or polite, will be undiSturbed,
only those being denied seats who can
taco their claim 10 no better authority
than schedule exhausting its operation

BROwNLOw. AND AN OPINION OF
HIM.

BROWNLOW, AND AN OPINION OF
HIM.
Senator Brownlow publishes a
card in the Knoxville Wing of the
14th inst, in which he states that
he has sold his entire interest in
that paper. He states further that
the publication of the paper will be
continued under new organiza-
ton, but by whom it will be pub
lished and edited he is unable to
say, but has assurance that it will
continue in the Republican faith.
The Senator concludes his card as
follows:
"And further, it is pertinent to say,
that so many in Tennessee who were at
one time the most outspoken Union men,
have proved untrue and have turned
back to the "fesh pots of Egypt" be-
traying the too generous friends who had
warmed them into life, that / can only
ask that the Republicans of the nation
will trust Tennessee politicians as far as
they prove themselves trustworthy, and
no further. In this remark it is not in
tended to say that all Tennessee politiS
clans are untrue or untrustworthy. The
remark is intended only for those to
whom it properly applies, and the INTEL
ligent reading public will not fail to make
the right application OF it."
The Senator entertains the opin-
len Of the Union men who have had
the candor to kick Radicalism to
the dogs, that many of his political
associates since the war entertain
Of him. For instance, the Athens
Republican of the 18th inst. says:
an another column will be found a
letter from Senator Brownlow. This
letter is somewhat peculiar, and it
would seem, now that he sees how
things are working, that he would like
to offer an apology for the course he has
taken in the late elections. If we owed
the devil thousand men, noted for
their inconsistency in everything, and he
refused to take Brownlow for the whole
number, we should feel very much like
taking the benefit Of the bankrupt law
and not paying at all. We
tell you, old friend, it is too late to pray
after the devil has come and got possess
sion; and it will take longer than anoths
er five years rebellion to restore you
back to the confidence Of people that
once cOnfided in you"
The ifty-tour thousand Radicals
who voted for Stokes entertain just
about tho opinion of Brownlow that
the Athens Republican does.

July 1, 1869, to June 80,
1870, is 100000, or only
s74, 100000 less than Johnson's
and those who have made them
selves at all familiar with the esti.
mates of expenditures by the goys
eminent, know that the actual ex-
penses incurred always exceed the
estimates by "a very considerable
amount. For instance, it was esti"
mated by the Secretary of War that
the expenses for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1868, would be $685.
205.669, yet the actual expenditures
were $129,246,648. The total re-
ceipts of the government from all
sources for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1868, were $4O5, 63S,OS3,
and the estimated receipts for the
year ending June 30, 1869, were put
down at SS41, 1872, S6S, while for the
year ending June 80, 1870,
they are expected to be $685.
100000. Yet on these receipts, and
with expenditures that actually fell
below the first, Grants admins
tration is claimed to have cost
s4S5, 100000 less than Johnson's in
one year. Such a statement as this
may deceive a few men, but it is sc
easily disproved by reference tc
the official documents, that we
wonder even tho Press and Times
was "taken in" by il. Where now
comes in the laugh about the ''pail
of India-rubber lungs" and the
"bull~frog of the great Dismal
Swamp" Perhaps the Press and
Times sees the point, but nobody
else does.

a MUNCHAUSEN STORY,

There is an old proverb about
figures not lying, but they often
get into very questionable positions
in Radical newspapers. For in
stance, we find the following in the
Press and Times of yesterday:
The New York Tribune publishes
this brief but exhilarating paragraph:
"'Our dispatches from Washington as
sure US that the forthcoming report Of the
Treasurer of the United States will show
that the expenditures Of the government
for the late fiscal year were S4S5, OOO,'
600 less than the year before. We make
no comments whatever; we merely ask
our readers to remember that in the face
of this enormous economy in the national
expenditures We have been steadily re-
ducing the principal Of our debt. The
skies are Frightening, and the firm land
is in sight. The day when reputation
or national bankruptcy was possible is
well nigh past
ain other words, in times of peace,
Andrew Johnson cost the nation $3.50, -
100000 more than Ulysses Grant. Ma
tional Republicanism is four hundred
and eighty-f five millions cheaper annual.
ly than Copperhead Democracy. Ans
drew JohnsOn's administration, in time
of peace, cost every man, woman and
child in the country one hundred and
twenty-one dollars and twenty-five cents
more than Grants administration ct
Mr.. johnson has been roaring with all the
infinite intensibility Of a pair OF India
rubber lungs about the extravaganza
Of Grants administration. A bull frog
Of the great Dismal Swamp might as
reasonably reprove diminutive croaker
in a Tennessee puddle for living in the
wet
We are at q loss TO know how
the New York Tribune could have
put forth the statement attributed
to it. The report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury submitted to the
second regular session of the for
tieth Congress, Commencing Dec
Z, 1861 shows the expenditures
for the fiscal year ending juno 30,
1865, were S377,340,28l, and that
the receipts into the Treasury for
the same period from all sources,
were SiO5, G3S, OS3, being AN excess
OF receipts over expenditures of
S2S,29779S IL WAS estimated by
the Secretary of the Treasury that
the receipts during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1869, would be
S3ll 80, SOS, and the expenditures

in favor of the government of
So, 2i0,39S. For the fiscal wear
ending June 30, 1870, il
was estimated that the receipts
would amount to 1897, 100000 and
the expenditures to $500, 700, 900,

uOwIrwORKs Or wHATIT COSTS.

-
The New York Express says the
government is giving us some facts
in regard to the tariff, but emitting
others much more important to
consumers, and it supplies some of
the omissions. For instance, in
1868 it exacted of the people, in
gold, S19O,OOO,OOO on 1896, 100000
of dutiable foreign goods. The
consumers paid all this and mid
clemens profits Of not less than so
per cent, or s95,OOO,OOO. The inn
porter charged the profit on the
tariff that he did on the first cost
of goods; jobbers, importers,
wholesalers, retailers, each also ex
acted his profit on the total cost of
goods to him, and so when those
imported goods are paid for by the
consumers, the accounts stand thus:
Original cost of goods 600 600
Cost of shipping us per cent )..... So, 400. 600
Duties on the goods l9O.OO.OOJ
$6I5. 10000
Profits Of middemen and transpOrta-
tiOn cOmpaniS go per cent)........,.. COZ
sl,O34 go. 90
Thus the first cost is enhanced
nearly three-fold by tariff and
profits. The import tax averages
so per cent, and the middlemen's
profits raise it to rs per cent.
