VERY NATURAL.

The Wing is so disgustcd with the efforts
made by the ieodbig oBicidt men of its par
ty in this judicial canvass that it turns
from the present contest heart sick and dis
couraged and wants to begin the fight for
Congress. Wehopc our ncighbor will not
grow too restless and uneasy under the
present regime of the Executive Commit
tee. Better fight out this canvass first. 1t
is not best to divide forces or undertake
two engagements at once. We sympa-
thize fully with our neighbor We know
that if he had his way "a man of Grainsn
would be at the head of the Executive
Committee, and this canvass would have
been conducted on more honorable and
appropriate basis, but we cannot consent
to mix up dis contest Of ''the people
against "partisans' with the COMPRESSION.

We have only 10 remind our neighbol

one hopeless conflict into another. Mean

application of the party lash. The "in-
I terlOpers' Of the organ have now the Win

AMERICAN CREDIT ABROAD.

One of the results of Grants Admins
tration is the increased confidence with
which American securities are accepted in
Europe. His honest collection of the reve-
nues and economical disbursements have
placed the country upon much firmer
and more stable basis. In the first sixteen
months of his Administration, the public
debt has been reduced SAG, 000, 900. During
the same time, without an increase of one
dollar in the rate of taxation, the receipts
from revenue exceed the sum collected by
Andrew johnson for the same time, $780,
675, 600. The immediate effect of such a
creditable financial exhibit is the apprecia-
ton of our securities abroad. The New
York Herald, of Tuesday said; " The
Bank of Frankfort has loaned the Prussian
Government five millions of thalers ON a
deposit of american stock as security. <
y In fact the credit of the United States
to-day is more stable than that of any ma
ton in Europe. This is shown by the
value American securities hold in the mar
kets of Europe at this crisis"
The Republican party, pledged to the
faithful payment of our public debt, has
steadily opposed reputation, and by the
honest administration of President Grant
has given our promises to pay a standing
value all over the world, of which as Amer
leans we justly feel proud.
! While Democracy has favored republic
| ton of both State and National debt, it has
by its treacherous and dishonest course, at
tempted to depreciate our credit and dis
honor our name.
The credit for the high value given GU
securities, and for the confidence reposed il
the American character in Europe, i
therefore justly due to the honest and sta
bic policy of our Republican Congress ant
Administration. In view of such facts w
may well call upon such disreputabl
sheets as the organ of this city, and Brio
Pomeroy's Democrat, to do more than tail
glibly about radical corruption and imbC
cilitVn

A CHANGE IN FRANCE.

When Napoleon proclaimed war against
Prussia, Paris, which is said to be France,
was all ablaze with enthusiasm. The pres
ence of the Emperor or any of the Imperial
family, was the signal for a grand popular
demonstration When M. Theirs, one of
the few great conservative minds of the
Empire, in few well considered sentences,
warned France against the step she had
taken, he was assaulted in the bitterest man
ner, and his very life threatened. 1t has
since been declared that France never went
into war more determinedly or enthusi-
astically.
But the following, from the special cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, from
Paris, indicates decided change of public
sentiment. We see no motive that paper
would have for disappearing the situa-
ton. The following is his statement:
"Never has war been undertaken by Franco
with less enthusiasm or more distrust OF success
The crowds on the Boulevards who were ready
TO die for their country, have disappeared. The
troops are marching through Paris to take trains
for the seat of war, and they traverse the streets
without eliciting single cheer. Soldiers JOIN
ing their regiments walk about in groups, almost
ali of them drunk, and the bourgoise stare a
them and shrug their shoulders: The aspect o
Paris could not be more melancholy II the Prus
SLAMS were at the gates of the city.

A MERITED REBUKE.

Our neighbor of the wing is very can
did man. He knows the people of East
Tennessee much better than the interlo-
pers" OF the Press and Heruld, and realizes
the oblOquy their treachery and "knavery"
brings upon the party. The IVhig Of yes
terday morning, contained an editorial
which, although no names We're mentioned,
we are led to believe was written for Il spe-
cial purpose. We have been exposing the
tricks and low cunning resorted to by
Judge Browns friends to secure his election
to the high position of Chancellor. We
have published some of the circulars issued
in his behalf, which have universally been
denounced as weak and shallow tricks to
catch votes, and as very improperly used
in canvass for judicial position.
One of these circulars was issued over
the name of Ramage, of the orgda
The Wing article is so pertinent to this
sort of cunning, and as we are bound to be-
lieve, it was intended to apply TO these eff
forts in behalf of Judge Brown, we give
extracts from it, that our readers may
know what a Democratic paper thinks of
kthe canvass some of its candidates are max

A HAPPY FAMILY.

The senior editor of the organ, who we
are very proud to say is not an interlo-
per- aspires to Office. But, unfortunately
for him, when he is not in condition to
discharge his duties, the two INSCRIPTIONS
interlopers,n whose hired tool heis man
age to grind the machine so as to sound
some very discordant notes. The senior
has of late years become very spoony over
the colored voters-in fact, processes TO re-
cognize them now as part of the dear peo-
pie, and on every possible occasion assures
them he loves them just as much as he
does their white brethren. But the Junior
"interloper,n whenever he gets hold of the
handle of the machine, grinds melodies to
suit the ears of another class. Yesterday
morning, he wrote Indignantly about the
"black savages' who, by congressional en-
actment, are allowed to become citizens OF
this great country. We know he will get
his ears pulled when the senior comes TO
life again, for it was only the other day the
latter published in the organ compliments
ry resolutions concerning him passed by
some " black savages " in Nashville. We
hope no row will result from this slight
conflict in the family.

NEW COMPLICATIONS IN EUROPE

1t will be seen from the account we pub
lish elsewhere of the secret treaty proposed
by Napoleon, that its terms are such that
even if acceptable to Prussia, they could
not be allowed by England and other Eu-
ropean powers. 1t seems to US, if further
developments do not explain away some
of the ugly features of this proposition,
England can not escape from being
drawn into the struggle. She is bound to
protect the neutrality of Belgium. She
could never consent that this territory
should pass into the hands of France. She
even feels outraged that Napoleon should
propose such a revision of the map Of Eu-
rope without consulting her, and wheI
such conservative and influential jour
nal as the Pal MAI Gdsettc declares thai
il can not see how England can longel
avoid becoming involved in the war, W,

A CALL ON GERMANS.

The German Patriotic Aid Society of
New York publish IA call TO the Germans
of the United States, urging them To effect
an organization in every State, with an
Executive Committee at the head of each.
They call for meeting of delegates, to be
held at Chicago on the 18th of August
next, " for the purpose of agreeing upon
some plan for combined action in the mat
ter indicated" The object of the associa-
ton is to aid the widows and orphans of
soldiers who may lose their lives in the
present war.
OF the good TO be accomplished by this
association, the Executive Committee-A.
J. Schem, O. Ottendorfer and others--of
the New York Society, say:
1t appears almost superfuous t. point to the
iar-reaching influence of such combination Of
four million Germans IN America. Not only
columns toward the realization of the same OBJ
jet be Instrumental in urging each individual

but the moral influence exercised in Germany
and in France lin opposite directions by such q
vast league with its ramihcatiOns in nearly every
city, village or hamlet throughout the broad eN-
panse Of the Union, would be Infinitely greater
than if each patriotic aid society, or even those
of each State, were acting separately and with
out connection with the rest Moreover, the
concerted action of all these societies could MOI
fail TO make "a deep and lasting impression upon
our native American citizens.

THE people of this county are very well
satisfied that the anomalous provision of
the Criminal Court Bill giving to the Judge
the right to pack the juries in every case
where the life or liberty of the citizens is
involved, was not included by mistake.
VIII some of the Democratic editors of this
city give us an explanation of this provis-
ion? The people want to know why the
old law giving them fair, impartial trial
by jury was changed. They were satisfied
with the old law. Who had this dangerous
change made, and what was the purpose

DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION.

The people of East Tennessee are thor
oughly Disguised with the corruption, par
tisanism and inefliciency of the present
Assembly They do not like the spirit
manifested towards East Tennessee, and
they will not act with any party response
BILE for it. Our East Tennessee judges ar
made to do double work because they are
Republicans.
Our county is taxed to pay the salary of
our Criminal Court Judge, while in the
democratic counties of Shelby and David
son the State pays tie judge. The reason
is that Knox county is not Democratic.
Judge Jones refused to go into the 4th of
July Convention and accept nomination
from Democracy, and straightway his head
was cut off. His office was hastily abolish
ed, and now for three months all the impor-
tant bushes of the County Court is at
dead lock. Administrators, Executors,
Guardians, Road-overseers, and all the i'm
portant business of the county, is embar
raised for three months by this petty, par
tsan work
A sweeping act is passed changing the
terms of all the Circuit and Chancery
Courts. No provision is made for conflicts
and the result is the whole legislation of
the State is in confusion. Attorney Gene
raj Thornburgh is made to attend Criminal
Court here and Court at Loudon the same
day. Blount county has no Court for
eight months, and her prisoners lie in Jail
and burden the county with costs.
| So it is all over East Tennessee. Every
where the people are burdened with addi-
tional taxes, their legislation delayed, and
their interests jeopardized by shameful,
bitter, partisan legislation. These are the
acts of Democracy which the people refuse
to endorse, and therefore they vote the
peoples ticket for judicial officers.

QUITE a number of our country readers
still ask us about the law abolishing Judge
Jones' office, and what was the cause of it.
They feel some little desire about the coun-
ty finances. They understand that the
coming Chairman of the County Court will
control the large amount of money here
tofore handled by Judge Jones' and they
fear this summary abolition of Jones Office
is part of plot to put the money of the
county into the hands of some irresponsi-
bic party of some political clique. Does
the Knoxville ring know anything about
this? Did not Judge Jones make an able
and faithful officer? Who cut off his head,
and what was the cause? Will the Cyclops
answer for the information of the peo-
pie?

THE COUNTY COURT RECORDS.

An anonymous communication, overthe
signature of ''TaX Payer" appears in the
Press and Herald of yesterday morning,
in which the writer insinuates that the
books in the County Court Clerks Office
are not accessible to every one. The in
situation is entirely unfounded. No gem
tleman has ever been denied a full and free
access to the records of the office since the
present incumbent has had charge of it,
and we challenge proof to the contrary.

COL. ]. NJ. THORNBURGH.


We do not know what terrible crime
Col. ThOrnburgh has committed that his
chances for an election should be so much
lessened by the enthusiastic manner in
which our cotemporary advocates his
claims. He has proclaimed himself Re
publican, and while he has no objection to
getting the votes of honest men of every
party we know he does not like the spirit
in which his election is advocated by the
Press and Herdld, If they urge his cleo
ton rs u Rcp.u lean he does not object,
but if they rocatc his claims because
they beliey not in sympathy and ac-
cord with publican party we know
they have holity or reason for So
doing.
We have advocated Col. Tholnburgh's
claims because he is a Republican, and be-
cause having been faithful and efficient
officer we wanted TO see him reinstated in
the position from which me was elected by
the late Constitutional Convention. He is
one of the peoples candidates worthy Of
the place he seeks-abundantly able to dis
charge it, duties as his splendid record
shows, and entitled TO the support Of every
honest man.
