THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

We give elsewhere the results of yester-
DAYS election so far as heard from up to
the time of going to press. From the fig
ures before US we concede the election of
JAS s. Boyd by from 10 to $50 majority
Ohe figures themselves tell the causes of
our defeat In the last March election the
Republican vote.for the two candidates for
Trustee was ., 256, The Conservative vote
was 2,19S. so far az heard from, the Re-
publican vote yesterday was but l,5OS,
while Capt. Boyd's vote was 1907. This
shows a falling off Of74S Republican votes,
while the Democracy fell behind but 49l.
The districts still to hear from gave 3Ss
Republican votes last March, and but 2l3
Democratic If the vote falls off in the
same proportion in the districts still to
hear from that il has in those already
reported, the loss of votes on the Republic
can side will be about twice a. many as
with the Democracy.
The light vote cast is the cause of our de-
feat. Our friends seemed to have relied on
the strength of the party, while our oppo-
nenfs believed in work. They have won,
as the working party generally does, and
we have that lesson again to learn.
While we are sorry TO be Obliged TO re-
port Mr.. Mynatt's defeat, there is nothing
in the figures to discourage us. We are
satisfied bow, as we always have been thai
on fair issue and full vote Knox county
is Republican by handsome majority, az
we will show the Democracy at the next
election.

FRIENDSHIP IN A NEW FORM.

The colored race of the South were freed
by the war. Their freedom has been Sc
cured and protected by State and Federal
legislation. One of the highest privileges
of that freedom is, that he shall have the
right to use his own best judgment as TO
how he shall exercise his franchise. With
out this right his freedom is but an empty
meaningless thing. If the colored man
must vote the ticket chosen by the
man who happens for the time to employ
him, what is his freedom worth? When
the employer receives an equivalent in
labor for the wages he pays, his claim
upon the laborer ends. BY what right can
he further claim his manhood?
We do not know upon what princi-
piles the employers of Ned. Living
ston, IA highly respected colored man,
who was yesterday discharged on ac-
count of his having cast his vote
for Mr.. Mynatt for Trustee, can iusti-
fl their action. We do not think
any fair minded man will endorse the spi-
rit manifested or the policy it encourages.
Such spirit can have but one result
melting prejudices and passions, which for
the good of society ought to be allayed.
1t is high time that il was known that
the colorcd men of Knoxville cannot b,
intimidated or controlled by such means
Their political principles so far as they
pretend to understand them, are as dear t
| them as to the white man. They have "a
| IN uch right to act for themselves in thi
matter as white men.
We ask the colored men one and ALL t.

ston his place, and judge thereby who arr

and trustworthy a man will long want 70

| of our business men.

MOB VIOLENCE.

We have no sympathy with mob Vio-
lence III any manner or form. We shall
denounce it. whether it comes from the
midnight Klu-KluX Democracy of Middle
and West Tennessee. or from mobs in East
Tennessee. We have had quite enough of
it in the past, and it is high time that hon
est men should break it down. But de-
nouncing mobs and discountenancing VIC
lence is one thing, and manufacturing
sensational mob stories for political pur-
poses and then denouncing such violence
is quite another. While we will at all
times lend our influence to discourage and
rebuke violence, we will at the same time
use quite as much diligence in exposing
the malice and motives of INSCRIPTIONS
partisans who seek to make political CAPT
tai by slandering innocent men, or injuring
the business and peace of communities.
We have no hope that the Press and Her
aid will make any reparation for the inju-
nv inflicted upon our neighboring county
of Blount. We are satisfied, from addi-
tional facts brought to our attention to-day,
that our statement of the facts in reference
TO the Logan's Chapel affair is correct
But if it should be established that we
were misinformed, and any wrong or VIC
lence was done to Mr. Bays, we shall be
prompt in exposing and rebuking the gull
ty parties. AS the case now stands, We
insist that the Press and Herald max,
good its charges, or make a full exposure
of the men who have done such great in
Justice to the parties accused, and the com
munity in which the live.

All UNsoPHIsTIcATED YOUTH INvEIGLEI
INTO THE UNION LEAGUE.

In answer to our questions propounded
in Tuesday paper, the q Press o,,'d Herald
man " makes the following reply:
The radical organ wants to know how long
the Press and Herald man was in the Union
League, and for what he was expelled
:. We reply, about one-half hour, on an eve
ming four years since and was expelled for pub
licly denouncing the iniquitous purposes of the
League, into which we had been induced to
enter By the protect 81 ITS organizers that II
iras merely an organization for social plea
snreS, and embraced members cf all shades Of
politics"
The italics are our own. We thought
the Press and Herald had some kind
friends in the city whose advice would pro-
tect it from exposing such recklessness as
is developed in the above answer.
We knew our contemporary was unsophis-
ticatcd, but we never dreamed that in 1866
in East Tennessee, in the legal city Of
| Chattanooga, he was 80 green" as to bC
persuaded that the Union League twas
merely an association for social pleasures
| and embraced members of all political
shades of politics"
Gan honest confession j. good for tho
soul" is an old maxim, but there is too
much honesty in the above confession, anC
our neighbor will never live long enough
to realize any good from it.
But if we are correctly Informed, ii tool
the "FrcSs and Herald man" good Ions
| time to find out that he had been imposed
upon, and that it did not embrace linen o
all shades of politics.
We hope the Chattanooga Times will no
fail to give US the facts for our communi
| ty is much interested in having the truth
published.

THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD.


Chattanooga, through the enterprise OF
Gen. Wilder and the Roane Iron Compa-
ny, will soon have in full operation the
largest rolling-mill in the South.
The following telegram from the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the chances for the early COM
pletion of the Cincinnati Railroad:
THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
"Mr. Stanton of Boston, and other Eastern
capitalists have given assurances here that in
case Senator Sherman's bill for n railroad from
Cincinnati to-Chattanooga is passed, they Will
bind themselves to build the road. They are
now engaged in road from Chattanooga TO
Meridian. The bill can readily be passed here
when reached"
We wonder if any of our citizens re-
member any schemes put through here
about four years ago, by which Knoxville
lost the energy and splendid business ca
pacity of some of the men who are now
taking to Chattanooga several hundred
thousand dollars of capital and hundreds
of skilled mechanics?
We do not know how il may strike our
Board OF Trade, but it seems to us there
are facts contained in the above which
should spur us all to immediate action. We
cannot afford to delay a single day. What
ever we do must be done now.

were loudly uttered" to the effect that
mo damned rebel preacher should preach
in that church," Did he say that God
dard and Donaldson fiourished their
bludgeons over the head of Mr.. Bays, and
swore that If he attempted to alight from
the buggy it would be at the risk of his
life ?" or that the crowd flourished their
knives and with many an oath and yell
endorsed their leaders threats ?"
If the Press and Herald answers that
Mr.. Bays made such statements, then we
earnestly call upon that gentleman to
sustain his charges. He cannot certainly
permit himself to stand before this COM
munity in the character the statement of
our contemporary leaves him.
The account, as published, has gone far
and wide as truthful. IT travels much
faster than our contradiction. 1t not only
effects the community in which 1t is
charged to have occurred and East Tennes-
see generally, but it reflects severely upon
several parties named. We understand
some of them will take prompt.and effect
i've measures to vindicate themselves per-
sonally. With that we have nothing to do
1t is rather the public at large and the in
terests of the State that we are determined
to vindicate, and we give our contemporary
and Mr.. Bays fair notice that there shall
be no evasion about it. One or the other of
the statements is false. The facts are now
| fully before the public, and we are deter
mined that the author of the lie, whichever
way it may be, shall be known. If the
facts are shown to be as Mr.. Bays states,
we promise him our hearty cooperation in
exposing and furnishing the guilty parties.
In the absence of any effort on his part in
| that direction, and in consideration of the
positive corroborating testimony we have
produced, we are compelled to conclude
that our statement is-eorrect. We hope, in
the meantime, our contemporary will answer
our questions, so that there will be no ca
Wiling as to where tla responsibility rests.
We want the truth, the whole TRUTH and
nothing but the truth, and we care moi
whom it convicts.

THE TRUSTEE ELECTION.

We publish elsewhere the official return
of the election of Saturday for County
Trustee-the Twentieth District still to
hear from. The vote for Mr. Mynatt was
1,s41 and for Mr.. Boyd 1852.
The Republican vote for the same office
last March was 2,256. The Democratic
vote was 2,l0S. The falling off in the Re-
publican vote is AIS, while in the Demo-
cratic vote it is but 246. If we take the full
Republican vote of the county as test, the
falling OFFS still greater.
The Press and Herald is welcome to all
the comfort these figures give it.

AToNEMENT FOR THE PAST.

The Press and Herald was full and run
ming over Tuesday morning with its
manufactured sensational canard of the
Blount county affair. Now, when Repub-
lican papers, in denouncing the outrages
of the Ku-Klux in Middle and West Ten
nessee, in any way vary their accounts
from the literal truth, the Democratic press
of the State are careful to make the most
of it, and to refer to it as evidence of deep
seated malice and hostility to the people of
the State. There is some excuse for uncer-
tainty where the Ku-Klux secretly COM
NIT their outrages, or where they are per-
petrated in counties inaccessible, but is there
any earthly excuse for the outrageous SLAM
der circulated by the Press and Herald?
Blount county is our adjoining county,
and is easily reached by rail, and there can
be no satisfactory explanation for the dis
graceful and malicious outrage our con-
temporary has committed. 1t reite-
| rates its ISLANDERS in different shapes
throughout the paper, and cites it as proof
of the meanness of radicalism. We are of
the opinion that this deliberate attempt of
the Press and Herald to break down the
business and growing good feeling in
| Blount county, is meaner and more repre-
hensible than would have been such an
outrage as it says was committed. A paper
that will circulate such distorted and ma
| licious articles, calculated to injure the
whole State, for the sake of gaining little
notoriety or selling few extra copies of
its papers, must be in desperate straits.
We think a few such articles ought to
atone for ever having joined the Union
League; and we guess that if the truth
was known, this article was gotten up to
divert the attention from the startling
Developments" we published yesterday
morning. 1t fought to give our cotempo-
rary as high position in the Ku-Klux as
he had in the League.
