STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.

The editor of the Chattanooga Times opposes
the high tariff theories of the KNOXVILLE
CHRoNIcLE, but approves of the political tenets
OF our Radical contemporary.-Pr and Her
ald
The Press and Herald man always was good
at manufacturing news, but this beats anything
IN that line he has ever attempted The editor
of the Times was never expelled from Loyal
League in Chattanooga, for the reason that he
never joined any, Chattanooga Times
We do not know that we fully compre-
bend the Times. To whom does it refer?
Can 1t be possible that any one, editorially
or otherwise connected with the Press and
Herald, was ever in any way connected
with the Loyal League? 20 We can
scarcely believe it," Does the Times mean
to say that the Press and Herald man "
was not only member of the Union
League, but actually expelled from it ?
Surely it cannot be so. We have carefully
studied what the Times says, and are not
mistaken as to its purport, and we there
fore call for an explanation. To whom and
to what does the Times refer?
If there is a man in Tennessee that has
said meaner things about the Union
League, or heaped more abuse upon the
Union people of East Tennessee, than this
"PreSS and Herald man." we do not know
of him. And now to be told that the secret
of all bitterness and enmity is, that he aCas
expelled from the Union League of chat
tanoogd, is startling. We never before
quite understood what terrible wrong had
been inflicted upon our neighbor, that he
should 50 numerically and maliciously
abuse our Union people, and at the same
time so zealously defend and laud their
enemies. We can now well understand
why, with such antecedents, our cotempo-
rary should find it necessary to be so eX-
tremely Jealous and violent in its new faith.
But, lest we are mistaken in all this, we
call upon the "PreSs and Herald man" to
say, how long he was in the Union League?
for what he was expelled? and whether or
not he has since joined the Kuklux?
In the meantime, the Democratic patrons
of the Press and Herald would be exceed
ingly obliged to the Times if it would fur
nish fuller details of the facts, as they may
want to demand further humiliation and
repentance as an atonement for the past.

pose. There are several Circuits in East
Tennessee where the Union people will
select true and good men to the bench if
their will is not frustrated by some Legis-
lative trick. We know these projects have
been under discussion, and we believe they
will be enforced if it is thought expedient
We hope our friends will watch closely
these points. Organize perfectly in every
county and district, and be prepared to
counteract any such movements, which, if
contemplated, will be sprung upon US on
the eve of our election. We have vigil
liant, unscrupulous enemy, and cannot
afford to be off our guard. To be ready,
we must organize.

A COINCIDENCE.

The Chattanooga Times of yesterday
morning publishes side by side, part of the
salutatory of the daily CHRONICLE, and
part of the salutatory of the new editor of
the Memphis Ardlanche, and thinks it a
striking coincidence that two salutatories,
written at the same time in different ends
Of the State, by editors differing widely on
political questions, should express, on the
same subject, such liberal sentiments. We
hope the people of Tennessee have had
quite enough of the bitter personal Journals
ism that has so strikingly impaired the
efficiency of the Press, and been the source
of so much bitterness throughout the State.
With the Times we share the hope, that it
may be the beginning of new style of
journalism in Tennessee.

HON. z. T. HALL.

Through mistake, the call from the Re-
publicans of Blount county upon the Hon.
f.. L. Hall to allow his name 10 be used as
a candidate for reelection to the position
he now fills, was omitted from our Sun
days issue. We publish the call elsewhere
in this issue.
We are authorized to announce Judge
Hall as a candidate for Circuit Judge at the
election tob held ON the 4th OF August,
next.
He was elected to that place last summer,
but the New Constitution vacates this of
fice and he il, therefore, again a candidate.
He has been before the people of this
Circuit 80 long that no endorsement from
IL IL necessary.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

When Edwin NJ. Stanton was about to die
Grant appointed him one of the Associate JUS
tees OF the Supreme Court Bench. The APP
err saw the Bench, for he soon died Congress
has lately appropriated whole years salary of
an Associate Justice for the benefit of Stanton
widow and children. This was in return for the
dirty work he did for them during the war
The above is from the Morristown Ga
sette. The dirty work of which the Gazette
complains was the suppression of the re-
bellion. The job was dirty one, we adj
nit but it had to be done, and we are not
surprised that the Gazette feels bitter to-
wards the great War Minister who took 80
prominent part in it.

THE INSULT DIRECT.

WIN. q. Brownlow and Horace Maynard
were requested, a short time since by meeting
of the German citizens of Knoxville to read on
the floors OF their respective Houses, the resolu-
nons adopted by that meeting against the pro-
posed reconstruction of the State Neither of
these gentlemen has shown any respect to the re-
quest of the Germans. The right of petition
Is one OF the dearest privileges of the American
cltlzen, native or naturaiZed
Now, let the Germans take notice that had
the resolution emanated from the negroes and
favored some new privilege 10 the wards of the
Nation" Mr.. Brownlow would have fastened to
nave the petition sent up to the Clerk desk 10
be read, while the stentorian lungs of Horace
Maynard would have been called into requisition
mat the country might hear the resolutions
Nhal are the Germans going TO do about it?''
The above was published in the Press
ana Herald some days ago, aud was in
tended as a ticker for some of our Ger
man friends.
The Press and Herald, ne suppose. did
not know at the time the above was writ
ten, that the resolutions referred to had
been presented to Congress by Mr.. Nav
nard, and were even then before the Re-
construction Committee. The resolutions
were submitted by Mr.. Maynard with the
assent of Senator Brownlow.
This statement in itself il severe enough
without any comments, and wo leave the
Press and Herdtd to take such course In
the premises as it may think proper. If
we had done such gross injustice to two
public men, we should feel very much like
making very humble apology.

TENNESSEE RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

We learned from Gen. Wilder and Col.
Cow, of Chattanooga, who passed down
the road yesterday, that the committee of
the House would report in favor of giving
to the improvement of the Tennessee river
$685. 900. With this additional aid, the
work will be vigorously pressed, and we
may hope soon to report uninterrupted
navigation to the Ohio

in Nashville in consultation last week.
What is to be the result of this caucus +?

they mapped out the partisan work for the
