THE RESULT

We invite the special attention Of our
readers to our special dispatches from every
point in East Tennessee from which we
could hear by telegraph. From them they
can form judgment of the general re-
suits of the election in East Tennessee.
The figures, so far as We can form an es-
innate, show general Republican triumph
throughout East Tennessee.
The results of the days work are highly
satisfactory, and We congratulate our
friends upon the cheerful prospect for the
coming exciting fall elections.

IMPORTANT TO TENNESSEE OFFICERS.

We have seen letter from the Third
Auditors Office, Treasury Department TO
the Governor of the State calling his at
tention to the trouble the Department ex-
periences in communicating with officers
of Tennessee regiments having unsettled
accounts with the Quartermaster's De-
partment. Heretofore the Third Auditor
has been enabled to learn of the addresses
of most of these officers by writing to the
State Adjutant General. But of late letters
to that Department do not receive the at
tention they deserve.
The Third Auditor would be obliged
if all Tennessee officers having bust
ness or accounts with the Quartemaster's
Department unsettled would furnish him
with their address.

A CHECKMATE PROPOSED.

Now that the Knoxville ring has failed
in electing it, party candidate for Criminal
Court Judge, we are informed they are
making arrangements 10 have the Court
abolished so soon a. the Assembly meets.
The ring had Judge Jones head cut off be-
cause he would not consent to accept Il
nomination from the 4th of July farce, -
and we should not at all be surprised if
now they cut off NJ. l.. Halls head be-
cause he had the effrontery TO beat their
candidate
We are really very sorry for Mr.. Lewis,
for he is "A very clever man, but as he was
indiscreet enough to identify his race with
the men who forced upon our people this
One Mans Court" he must suffer the
consequences.
II the Democrats really want to do the
county some good, we can make some sug-
gestions TO them in reference to this Court
which may be of some value.
If they will repeal 50 much of this Grim
inal Court Act as compels Knox county to
pay the Judges salary, or a. empowers the
Judge to appoint his own Jurors, we will
heartily second all such efforts. These are
features of the bill which we have oppo-ed
on principle, and we will favor their repeal
even though the dangerous power confer
red is now in safe and fearless hands.
But as we have said before, all the legis-
lation that created this Court, and abolish
ed the County Judge, was partisan and in
tended for some special purpose, and we
are not surprised now that the result of the
election is 50 contrary TO their expectations,
to hear that the ring" has determined to
abolish ii. 1t would be in perfect harmony
with the legislation and spirit Of this As
sembly.

THE CHEAPEST AND BEST PAPER.

BY an agreement between the publishers
of the JVhig. Press and Messenger and
CHRONICLE, the rates of subscription to
the Weekly are uniform I. C., Two Dol
lars each to single subscribers clubs of ten,
$3.50: clubs of twenty, $4,000. Each pa
per now stands upon its merits. The
WEEKLY CHRONICLE, at the same price OF
the Wing or Press and Messenger, is the
cheapest paper in East Tennessee. Itcon-
tains almost thrice as much Reading matter
as the Press and Messenger, and more than
the Wing. 1t contains the latest telegraph
ic news and the Market Reports, and is,
the most desirable and cheapest Weekly in
Fast Tennessee.

A NEW SYSTEM OF PROMOTION.

The civil service of the Government can
only be improved by placing the officers
and employees upon their merits as men.
If they are competent and faithful, they
should be restrained, if incompetent and
unworthy they should be removed. We
are glad to see that the head of one of the
Departments at Washington has adopted a
system of promotion by which men of
merit and talent will be rewarded as against
those who hold place merely because Of
their position and influence. A dispatch
to the New York Tribune says:
Secretary Cox, of the interior, has ordered
that competitive examinations be held in beau
reaus of the interior department when appoint
ments are to be made. The head of the bureau
with two other competent persons will conduct
the examination.

wEIssENBURG.

The dispatches of this morning make
the following news concerning Weissenburg
of present interest. The heights referred
to in the dispatches probably refers to the
line of works on the line of the frontier.
Weissenburg is marked on the map as an
important French fortress of the second
class:
AT Weisscnburg the French frontier de-
scends from the mountains into the beautiful
and fertile plains of Alsace, following the River
Eauter to the Rhine, which France enjoys for
her eastern boundary from the Lauterburg to
Basic. The . Wessenburg Line" was built I'M
der the direction of Marshal Villars during the
war Of the Spanish succession, and consisted of
chain of light works running from the left
bank of the Rhine along the Lauter, nearly 10
miles-We issenbnrg itself being surrounded
with walls and towers-while above it stood the
majestic fve-bastoned Burgfestung" This
whole line was abandoned in 1867, by imperial
decree, though the works were not RACED The
same decree degraded Hagenau, which never
had served any very important purposes as a
fortress, unless in guarding the imperial jewels
of Friedrich l.
