A CANDIDATE WASTED.-The Democratic
party Of this State is sorely exercised to End
4 respectable member Of the party willing to
become a candidate for Congress in the
ensuing campaign. Nearly ali the leading
men Of the party have been interviewed"
and have, IN each instance. responded that
they have no stomach for the foul aud reek-
ing atmosphere Of the National Capital. and
have NO desire to wear the badge Of shame
that will ever cling to the name and memory
Of the present infamous body Of miscegena.
ton conspirators who are popularity styled a
Congress Of the American Republic. In
view OF the apparent impossibility Of finding
q candidate willing TO sacrifice himself for
the good Of the State, Il has been determined
by the leading men of the party to make no
nomination for that position, but will unite
in support Of Professor Bird, Of hair dye
fame, who, when elected, will be a decided
improvement on the present representative
in the Lower House from this State.-ERo
Independent (Demoeratie).
Bill Bird, Of Virginia City, isNjust
about as Intelligent a Democrat as
there is in the State, and the choice is
quite well made. So let it be under
stood by the people that the Demo-
Gratis Of Nevada have q colored man
up for Congress. If Mr.. Fitch is re-
nominated OIL the Republican side, he
II doubt would willingly meet Mr..
Bird on the stump and discuss politics
with him. As the Democrats can't
find any white man who is willing to
again be slaughtered by Mr.. Fitch, the
champion orator of the Pacific coast,
let it be Mr.. Bird. The suggestion Of
the Elko paper forcibly reminds us
that it isn't the first time that the
Democrats have put the colored man
forward to face the enemy, and to
receive the shots and bayonsts Of war,
fare, while they themselves lay ell.
trenched in fear and trembling.

A NOTABLE case Of death from tight
lacing occurred at Chester. Vermont,
recently. SO resolutely had the foolish
girl plunged into martyrdom, that
after death 1t was found that her ribs
were Tapped " each other. and that
one lung had been rendered useless BY
the pressure Of the breast bone upon
it. For several months previous to
her death, this poor victim had been
obliged to sleep with corsets on and
frightened TO the last notch, for the
loosing gave such pain in the
internal expansion that she could not
bear 1t.

THERE are four orders of priesthood
among the Mormons, the members of
which are bound by oaths. For the vio-
lation of the oath by order the pen
atty Is to have the throat cut from ear
TO ear; of the second to have the
bowels slit across; of the third to have
the heart torn out, etc. These secret
oaths seem to exercise a fearful power
over all the Mormons ; even apostate
Mormons, when far out Of reach of the
church, and where its penalties need
not be feared, seem to hesitate to
speak of them.

THE hotel-keepers Of the United

Of the Internal Revenue laws which

asserted that the revenue taxes paid
by hotel-keepers are seven and a half
times greater than those paid by nier-

and the effects of the five per cent. tax

AT a recent Woman's Suffrage Con-

felt it her duty to state that "the conn
try was governed by whisky. The
Congressman made laws when their
brains we're filled with alcoholic bever-
ages, and men voted at night for men
whom they loathed in the morning.
The late rebellion was caused by whis-
Ky; the South drank lightning whisky
and the North ditto. But as there was
more barley in the North, they won

The STATE TREASURY DEEAULr.-
The expert clerk who has been exam
lining the books Of the late State Treas
urer, has made his report to the
Board of Examiners, who have pub
lished the same. The default of the
late Treasurer amounts to Sl06, l6l 81
and was embezzled from the follow
ing funds:
Land deposits..................S 62,226 80
Sale OF stamps................. 2O,ol9 %
From County Treasurcrs....... 23,llS %
o.
The Enterprise asks: "Now, why
did not the Examiners detect the alb
straction of funds from these sources
before the defalcation had reached so
large an aggregate? The report of
Mr.. Bostwick explains. Owing to de-
fective laws, the Examiners, except at
stated intervals, had no means of as
~certaining the amount of money in
the funds in which the deficit occurs"
We expect the explanation of the ex-
pert will be insufficient for the people,
who will hold the Examiners to a
strict accountability.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

History demonstrates no fact clearer than
that the Democratic party is responsible for
the late civil war in this country, with its
oning is required to convince the most
casual observer of the fact. Southern DEM
ocrats led in the mad work of secession and
rebellion, and Northern Democracy OPP
posed every measure calculated to sustain
the Union army. If the rebellion had sue
ceeded there is no question as to what party
would have claimed the credit for it. The
lines between the two parties were never
more closely drawn than when Grant led
ting all this, should not Republicans go to
work with Interpretations of their duties
in the premises. 1t is true we have no bat.
ties to fight upon fields Of blood and car
mage, but nevertheless the contest is Just
as important. The good results of the VIC
tory achieved by the Union army are COM
mitted to our keeping, and we can improve
them or not, just as we like. Then, in view
of the vast importance of our action, and
the responsibility devolving upon us, every
man who is opposed to this Democratic
party should &c to work to defeat 1t. To
accomplish this, we must have harmony in
our own ranks. Unfortunately, discussions
have existed among US. We have failed to
see things alike. Our views of men have
not always been unit Some men of mar
row. views have essayed to read out of the
party those who did not come up to their
arbitrary standard. Now let us drop all
this. Concede a difference of opinion on
local issues. Look not at the past, except
to improve upon its lessons. Let by
cones be by-gones." There is room for us
all, upon the broad and liberal platform of
the National Republican party. Upon it
let us unite and march on to conquest and
victory. Upon this platform all the oppo-
sition to Democracy may be united, and if
we drop our differences and go to work for
our country's veal, it will be done. With
harmony in our own ranks, we can always
succeed in East Tennessee. If we remain
divided we may expect defeat and disaster.

THE SENATE AND THE ARMY BILL.

If the Senate of the United States has
any respect for the sentiments of the peo-
pie or for the honor of the nation, it will
greatly modify the Army Bill as passed by
the House. We do not think that even
under the plea Of economy the House is ex-
cusable for gratifying Gen. Logan's per-
sonal spite or jealousy by passing the bill,
a. Objectionable as it now stands. We do
not believe that its features were fully ex-
planned, for we can not think that menu
bers would Intentionally do the disabled of
ficers of the regular army the injustice
which this bill in its practical working will
infiict. The law as it now exists forbids
retired officers being placed on any duty
other than that assigned to their class.
Even this law worked hardships i'm many
cases, but 1t was necessary perhaps because
of the excess of officers competent, physi-
cally, for all kinds Of active duty. But
Logan's bill goes further than this, and
provides that retired officers shall not be
no justice or reason In this, that we can see.
A retired officer, If competent for civil po-.
sition, should certainly be allowed to ac-
cept it. There are many communities
where wounds received in battle would be
the best recommendations an applicant for
civil position could offer. There are some
localities where such wounds would secure
to disabled officers civil positions, whether
they applied for them or not. A law for
bidding a grateful people from comforting
honors and places of profit upon faithful,
crippled soldiers, is uncalled for and unjust.
The bill introduced by Senator Wilson
removes this and other Objectionable fea-
lures, and on the whole is very just meas
ure We think that this country owes too
much to the regular army to permit any
act of injustice on the part of any depart
ment Of the Government opass unrcbuked.
Economy is plea which would justify al
most any measure but one like this. There
are other and more salutary measures of
reform We could suggest than this one pro-
posed by Gen. Logan, and we think il the
Housewould be as diligent in its efforts to
retrench in some other directions, it's efforts
would be more heartily seconded.
In this connection we call the attention
of our readers to extracts from an editorial
from Harper's Weekly, which we publish
elsewhere, which we think reflects the
views of many good citizens.

HON. HORACE MAYNARD.

On the 30th day of March, the House
being in the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union, and having under
consideration the bill to amend existing
laws in relation to the duty on imports,
Hon. Horace Maynard delivered lengthy
speech on the subject, which we have re-
ceived in a late number of the Congression-
al Globe. 1t isreplete with sound doctrine,
and shows that Mr.. Maynard fully under
stands the subject. He shows by actual
figures taken from the statistics of the
past, that the policy of. the enemies of
American industry would prove fatal to
the business interests of the nation. The
working men of the country owe Mr.. May
nard debt of gratitude for the able man.
ner he has pleaded their cause before the
present Congress, whenever the subject of
Protection to Home Industry" has been
before that body.

now offered to afew. Under good system
of graded schools, the teachers now actually
in school in Knoxville could teach well
every child in the city. We know of par
ents who spend enough yearly in educating
their own children to furnish good schools
to every child in their ward. Even in this
view of the case, then, there is no excuse,
for under thorough system there would
be a saving, as we can show.
AS announced in our prospectus, we be-
lieye this question one of very great impor-
lance, and we shall, from time to time, have
more to say upon it, We hope the teach
ers' association organized here a. few days

hands with them, with our neighbor the
Wig and with all other friends, and
promise them our hearty cooperation and
good will.

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS.

The prospects in this county of the sue
cess of the Republican party, in the future,
are very fiattering. We came off the field
in the late contest victorious, without an
organ, or organization. Thoroughly
organized, with a true and reliable
paper, we are invincible. Yet we have a
willy foe i'm the field, and must be on the
alert, If we would be successful. We pro-
pose to furnish heightened, reliable
Republican paper, and seconded by
the efforts Of the substantial men of the
county, to so reorganizo the Republican
party as to insure success in the future.
Let every true man go to work to organize
the Republican party, and lend helping
hand in the one great effort to build up a
party i'm unity with tho national admins
trstion, and In conformity with the immor-
tai Declaration Of Independence, and the
Bill OF Rights to our Constitution.

CONVENTION.

We do not desire to forestall the wishes
of our friends npon the subject of Con-
vention for the nomination of Chancellor,
Judge of the Circuit Court, and Attorney
General but for the purpose of testing the
views of the party, We suggest that the
Republicans of the several counties COM
posing this Chancery Division and Judicial
Circuit hold county meetings to determine
the question; and il IL is considered best,
that they appoint delegates to two Conven-
tions 10 be held in this city, say the Second
Monday Of May next-one Convention for
the Chancery Division, and one for the
Judicial Circuit. This will give all parties
ample time for notifying their friends and
securing fair expression Of the wishes Of
the party.
We do not make these suggestions pre-
ulaturely, or in spirit Of dictation. We
have advised with many of our friends in
the different counties, and find very gem
eral desire to avoid all divisions and bad
feeling, and the possibility of defeat, by
having fair Convention. The time for
action is aop. We hope 10 hear from our
friends in every county interested, and
commend these suggestions to the consid-
Grafton Of the proper committee.
The two Conventions could meet at the
same time, AS most Of the counties are both
in the Chancery District and Judicial Cir
cult, and one set Of delegates would do for
both Conventions.

What we feel called upon to advocate is,
that such legislation shall be secured as
will protect the iron interests of Tennessee
Alabama and Missouri, as well as those of
Ohio or Pennsylvania. To advocate any
thing short of this Is, in our Judgment, the
greatest folly-in our case, fairly compare
BILE to suicide. What East Tennessee de-
mands, and must have to prosper, is pro-
lection for our industries, and the man who
opposes it opposes the growth and wealth
of our people.

THE DAILY CHRONICLE.

The public generally, and the interests of
the Republican party in particular, demand
the publication of the CHRONICLE in the
form of Daily. We have determined to
supply this demand. A weekly 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 a live, progressive sheet. IF our
friends will sustain US, We assure them q
Daily equal to any in the State.
