THE FACTS.

There arc two ways of misrepresenting
facts. One is by the suppression Of the
truth and the other by suggesting the false.
"The organ is frequently guilty OF both.
In Yesterdays issue it published the con-
tribution of some one Of the few party
hacks that frequent its sanctum, the prin-
cipal part of which was devoted to abuse OF
Mr.. Maynard. But one of the weakest
parts of the labored effort was the state
ment of the financial record of the Repub-
Ican Administration at Washington. This
contributor SAYS the amount collected in
| taxes for the year ending June 30th, 1869
eight months of which were under John
sons Observation-Disclosures S37o93, AZ
| The amount collected "a, taxes for the year
ending June 3Oth, 1S70-all under Grants
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS over 800, 600, an
excess during the year of over S3O,OD'".
! Now what do our readers suppose these
figures were exhibited for? to show that
Grants administration is more economical
and honest than Johnson's? One would
naturally think so, for that il just what it
does prove. But the organ charges
from this exhibit that the tdres hdro not
Jcen rcduccd. We have exposed this false
hood once before, but rs missionary work
with such wrctchcs may be of service tC
the public, we again state the facts. Waiv-
ing entirely the inaccuracy Of near eight
millions in the organs statement, We
answer its false charges with the facts
officially promulgated.
It appears from these figures that tho

-
millions Of dOiidrs. Over one hundre,
millions Of this reduction has been made
or, rather, gone into effect under Grant,
D Administration. In face of these ficts

HON. W. H. w1sENER.

just as we expected, when this gentle
man became the candidate of the Republi-
can party for Governor, he was at once
made the subject of severe criticism by the
Democratic press. The Union and ABlcri-
can comes to us with n long editorial at
tempting to show that Judge Wisener
sympathized with the South in its attempt
to overthrow the Government. Democrat
ic papers are perfectly welcome to make all
the capital they can out of this. Judge
Wisener's party friends are satisfied that
he is now, and has always been, devoted
friend to the United States Government.
He has always enjoyed the entire conf
dence of his Union neighbors, and when
the Federal army occupied Middle Tennes-
see, he was consulted and relied upon by
the officers in command. Men could not
always act untrammelled, when surround
cd by hostile bayonets in the hands OF
| rebel soldiers, and We're sometimes forced
! to do things which they would have done
otherwise under different circumstances.
! If the Republican party is satisfied with
| him il matters but little whether the OPP
posite party is or not. We have no idea that
! Gen. Brown, the Democratic candidate
will be satisfied with him after he has met
him on the stump.
| Our candidate not only enjoys the re-
Spect of his own party, but also of men
who are opposed to him politically Tic
has served with distinction in the Legisla'
turc before and since the war; and has III
variably run ahead of his ticket His re
cord Oh questions of public policy, such "a
free schools, internal improvements anC
measures for the benefit of the masses, ha
been consistent, and will bear the closes
scrutiny. He has served on the Electora
ticket in Presidential elections, both TO
his Congressional District and for the stat
at large, and has always borne himself t
the perfect satisfaction of his friends, AM

Owing to the peculiarly appropriate
choice of title made by the Wing and Reg
istcr. there need be no conflict between it
and the Press and Herald as to the leader
ship of the Democratic hosts of East Ten
nessee The Wig and Register, not AT
all envious of the we'll applied name of
the organ, =" by which the Press and Her
aid is known, chose title more BETTING

as 81 the oracle.u There is something sin
gularly proper in this choice of our neigh

dissertations on the Ku Klux Khan and
innovations of Criminal Law; on the

to States and also hiselaboratc expositions
of the rights of the States under the Con-
stitution, and we admit that they are
oracular in style and wisdom. y Few such
efforts will establish the claim our contem-
porary makes as 1.-The oracle" of its party,
and we confidently predict that to this
oracle the subordinate lights OF the party
will come for wisdom and guidance. HOW
commonplace and how proper on the

The appointment of Senator Morton, of
Indiana, as Minister to England, is emf
nently wise and proper. He is one of our
ablest public men and has rendered signal
service TO his country in the United States
Senate. During the war, his services in
behalf of the Government were not sur
passed by the Governor of any other State,
He was especially attentive TO the interests
and comfort of soldiers from his own State,
among whom lac was exceedingly popular.

NAPOLEON had vast income while En-

civil list of five millions of dollars, aver
aged ten millions of dollars per annum. 1t
is very probable that out of this sum he
saved very considerable fortune. He is.
now comfortably quartered in a famous old
castle belonging to the very family con-
corning whose accession to the Spanish
throne the war was ostensibly begun.

FAMILY TROUBLES.

The Democratic family is 30 large and
numerous that its private griefs and jars
cannot well escape the attention of the
public For the past ten years it, record of
corruption and rebellion has been its sore
trial and burden. This year it thought its
troubles ended, and its millennium near mt
hand The States We're all restored to their
former relations to the Government, and
the great masses of the Southern people to
all their political rights and privileges.
| None but "a few of the prominent leaders
of the secession movement were left under
IdisabiIitie.-scars left on the body polite,
which it was thought might serve to re-
mind Us of what terrible trials we had en-
dured. Under these favorable circum-
stances the Democracy thought their pros
poets brilliant But unfortunately for
them, their Southern BRETHREN released
from their restraints, like Hampton and
Blair in the New York Convention, speak
too boldly their real sentiments.
The National Democracy has so far sue
ccssfullv lodged this troublesome question
when along comes Il military reunion
in Tennessee that refuses to adopt resolu
tons to that effect but on the contrary
upon such good authority a. a. Johnson
valves the whole question
Then again the Democratic Congrcs
sional Committee send out all over tn
= South letters advising their friends for til
: sake of the party North not to nominal
or elect candidates for Congress who "caI
not take the iron clad oath" In reply

THE Wig says the attempt to miscon-
strue the secession resolution of the Nash
willie Convention will prove a sovereign
failure: that II means no such thing.
Now we intend there shall be no lodging
on this point. The Committee on Resolu-
tons appointed by that Convention had
two resolutions before il upon this question.
One fairly and squarely admitted that the
doctrine of secession il settled: the other
demanded that the States be restored to
their sovereign " rights, &c. Two of the
members of the Committee who had been
forced to swallow the first resolution in
1858, succeeded i'm throwing it overheard
this time and reported the other. The
Convention adopted it. Ii stands then
just in this position Its committee reject
ed Il resolution plainly against secession,
and adopted one, which such good Demo-
Gratis as COlyar and Johnson declare favors
secession. Now, these are the facts, and
with such good Democratic authority en-
dOrsng us, we submit that the Wing has
the labOring oar.

vile, in presenting platform upon which
civilians are permitted to take a back seat,
resolve in one paragraph that the tariff is
gigantic robbery, and in the next, that the
internal revenue is oppressive, owing to
the fact, we suppose, that they, as party,
are debarred from handling the funds.
We would like to know how these gentle
men propose to raise means to defray the
expenses of the government, and pay the
public debt. If we propose to raise it bya
tariff, which, while it supplies bountiful
revenue at the same time affords protec-
ton, and fosters home industry, they cry
out, gigantic robbery! If we propose to
raise the revenue from internal taxation,
they say, "this is downright oppression,
unless we can be the collectors for their
