DEMOCRACY AND INFRINGEMENT

The Joint Committee of Retrenchment,
at Washington, having heard that just
previous TO resigning, Randall, Andy
Johison's Postmaster General, increased
the pay of certain contractors for carrying
the mails in Texas, have been examining
into the matter, and find the reports cor
rect. In one case Randall increased the
pay from $780, 900 annually to $S50,0OO an
nually, without any corresponding increase
on the part of the contractors. General
Creswell's attention was called to the mat
ter, and the pay reduced to its former stan
dard. And yet some men would have us
believe that there is no financial ability Oh
honesty outside of the Democratic party,
and that its leadere are simon-pure and in
capable of doing corrupt thing.

DEMOCRATIC MISREPRESENTATION


The Press and Herald, in its eagerness
to trump up charges of corruption against
the Republican party, passes the bounds of
decency and truth, as witness the follow
ing:
Before the Republican party came into
power, and when the Senate of the United
States was composed of such spotless men
as Reverdy Johnson, Daniel Webster,
Thos. HI. Benton, John Bell, and John j.
Crittenden, Senators were above suspicion.
Now, when we find in the Senate such
men as Warner, Rice, Pomeroy, Brownlow,
Abbott, Cameron, and Flanagan, we
wonder not that corruption exists and that
the Senate is so assured of the venality of
some of its members, that it not only con-
siders resolution of inquiry, but adopts ii
without debate"
The editor of the Press and Herald, we
know, never heard whisper of suspicion
breathed against Senator Warner, for no
purer nor truer man ever sat in the Senate,
and it is the grossest violation of every
principle of decency and propriety to use
his name i'm the connection and in the man
ner above referred to. None but a mean
partisan sheet would indulge such malevo-
lence.
| AS to Senator Brownlow, his worst enc
| mics will not for moment believe such
charges as the Press and Herald makes,
| and he needs no defence.

THE PRESIDENTS JOURNEY TO TROY
A Sensational Story Spoiled.

The Press and Herald of the 18th pub
fishes malicious lie concerning President
Grant and his party, while en- route to Troy
to attend the funeral of General Thomas.
The Press and Herald heads its article:
Distinguished Dead-Heads.n The whole
story from beginning to end is false, as the
following statement from the New York
Times shows:
There is no truth whatever in the re-
port published i'm some Of the papers that a
Hudson River Railroad conductor named
Harry Stevens demanded fare of President
Grant or any of his Cabinet, or any one ac-
companying him, and it was refused. Nei-
ther is it true that Conductor Stevens in
formed a:,y one of the Presidential party,
that if the fare was not paid the party
would be put off the train or the car con-
tanning them would be left behind. The
party left Thirtieth street Thursday night
between IL and II o'clock, the train, by a
special arrangement, having waited for
them beyond its time for departure. All
entered sleeping coach and at once re-
tired leaving an aid-de-camp in charge.
TO this aid-de-camp Conductor Stevens app
piled for tickets for the party, but he had
none He so informed the conductor, and
still further informed him that he supposed
that an arrangement had been effected for
the car and fare Conductor Stevens knew
of no such arrangement, and when the
train reached Poughkeepsie, a messenger
was dispatched to Superintendent Toucey
for instructions, and the train proceeded,
with the understanding that the instruc-
tons would intercept it at Hudson, and
they did. Those Instructions were in eff
feet that the Superintendent knew of no
arrangement, but to take the car through.
The failure to procure the tickets was on
the part of some person in the office of the
Deputy Collector, New York city, to whom,
instructions had been sent from Washing.
ton in relation to the matter. =
Conductor Harry Stevens says that he
did not state, hint, or in any way intimate
| to the aid-de-camp that he would cut the
car off, nor did he address the aid-de-camp
in discourteous or ungentlemanly man
ner. He states further that his train
| reached Poughkeepsie on time and left in
| time, and that no member of the Presiden-
| tial party was disturbed in any way, shape
or manner, but the affair was amicably and
| satisfactorily arranged throughout. On
| the return from Gen. Thomas funeral, as
soon as the matter attracted the attention
of the President, everything was ordered

of the occurrence so much as Conductor
! Stevens"

THE DAILY CHRONICLE.

The public generally and the interests of
the Republican party inparticular, demand
the publication of the CHRONICLE in the
form of a Daily. We have determined to
supply this demand. Aweekly newspaper
in this country is to party what the in
fantry and artillery are to an army. A
daily performs the sharp and decisive du-
ties expected of the cavalry. TO make sue
cess certain, both are required.
About the first of May we will commence
the publication of the DAILY CHRoNIcLE.
What we have said in the prospectus of the
weekly, we here reiterate and reaffirm.
Neither expense nor labor will be spared to
make it live, progressive sheet If our
friends will sustain US, we assure them a
Daily equal tn any in the State.

RErRospEcTIvE.

Many of our readers well remember the
dark days of 1903, when they, to escape con
scription into an army to which they were
opposed, either left their homes and went
beyond the Confederate lines, or, like fell
ons evading justice, were compelled to hide
out in the hills and mountains, not daring
to go to their own homes except under
cover of night. Some we know of were
shot, and are manned for life, simply for
the reason above stated, that is, they did
not choose to fight against their own hon-
est convictions of right. Very little was
said then about prescription for opinions
sake. Certain men, who have since been
very noisy on the subject of prescription,
said little then. The Union men of East
Tennessee, who remember all these things,
will certainly be cautious about supporting
for Office the leaders in their oppression du-
ring the time above alluded to.

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

We publish elsewhere communication
from Republican," concerning our sug-
gestions regarding a Convention. rs we
said in our last issue, we sincerely hope we
may not be compelled to have Conven-
ton, for we do not think it best to give a
partisan character to our judicial elections.
But from the spirit manifested by the De-
mocracy, we are satisfied nothing but a
strict party struggle will satisfy them. As
protection to the party, we may therefore
be compelled to nominate and elect our
candidates on party issues.
Our suggestions as to the propriety or
time of holding Convention were only
intended to test the views of our friends
as we said at the time. We have had YER
bal suggestions from many in harmony
with those of Republican," and we be-
lieve them to be the views of most of oul
friends, and therefore willingly adopt
them

habit of quoting with great glee from al
legged Republican newspapers severe strict
ures upon President Grants administers
ton and the Republican party. Such pa
pers as the Cincinnati Times, New York
Journal Of Commerce and New York Sun
do not claim to be Republican papers. For
the past two years they have, in the main,
supported Republican principles because
they could not endure modern Democracy,
but they have never pretended to be party
papers, and it is not fair so to represent
them.

OUR Democratic neighbors have been
putting forth strenuous efforts to perfect an
organization, by the appointment of Com
mittees, &c. They have had no perfect or
gauization here since that began in 1861.
Then most efficient Committee of Three
was appointed, to whom the good people of
Knox county applied for permission to pass
beyond the limits of the city to their honies,
and as a precedent to obtaining pass, an
iron-clad oath was administered Some of
US found that organization so powerful as
to render this atmosphere unwholesome
for US. The people well remember this or
ganization, and but few of them will care
to see it repeated.

AN Irishman, who has long acted az
agent for European manufacturers, comes
to the deliberate conclusion that the differ
ence in the price Of European and Ameri-
can manufactured articles, is simply a
question of wages, and thinks that manu-
facturers could produce articles AS cheap in
america asanywhere in the world il wages
were reduced to the standard of other
countries. Free trade, if adopted, would
eventually accomplish this reduction in
wages. What do laboring men think OF
this?

A HAPPY FAMILY.

The Wing seemed highly pleased with
Senator Clementson's effort of last Thurs
day night, and thinking only of the inter-
ests of its party, very unselfishly gave
full and fIattering report of the gentleman's
effort. The Press and Herald, however,
seemed disposed to treat the meeting as al
ordinary occurrence, andgave its readers
very indifferent and short synopsis of the
speech. Has Mr.. Clementson any aspira-
lions for Congress, that he should be thus
ignored by the representative organ of the
new Democracy? or does the Press and Her.
aid ignore all the efforts of the reorgo,aized
Democracy, to inspire its followers with
new life and hope, simply because the
Wig monopilizes the organization and
control of the club?
This Democratic family of Knox County,
by the way, is a very happy one. Our two
contemporaries, differing in their real po-
litieal sentiments as wide as the polls, are
each regarded by its special clique as the
organ of the party. Then again the nu-
meroVs candidates for Congress embar-
raised our contemporaries and greatly re-
stricttheir usefulness. Their fidelity 10
the Interests Oh tnetT GeSpectlNe aVOrlteS,
prevent them from paying even decent
respect to the popular men of their party.
We were led to suppose from the proceed
lngs Of the late Constitutional Convention,
as reported in our contemporary, the Press
and Herald, 6hat the distinguished dele
gate Knox County sent to that Convention,
took no part in ats deliberations, as he was
never alluded to in their reports but once
ortwiee, aBad then in a disparaging manner.
But recent Developments in the manage
ment of that paper enable us TO under
stand its policy. 1t was believed the dele
gate from Knox had some aspirations for
Congress, and is WAS therefore determined
by our contemporary, that his part in the
Convention should be biotted out aud
ignored. AS an evidence Of Journalistic en-
terprise and independence or fidelity to
party interests, we question whether ii has
ever been surpassed. The result Is, that
our contemporary has control of the Con-
gressional race and q master Of the sItua-
ton.

A REPUBLICAN PAPER IN TENNESSEE.
The Republicans of East Tennessee have,
since the transfer of Brownlow's Wing to
the unreconstructed rebel Democracy, been
without a paper to represent them Some
recent and resolute efforts, however, have
resulted in the establishment of the

Gus folio weekly, with a snap and vim that
shows competent and sagacious men at the
helm. The publishers promise a daily is
sue in "a few weeks, and IL it is up to the
