In one of his letters to the Cincinnati
Commercial last year, the present editor
of the Chronicle, referring to the fact
that the Radical county judicial conven-
ton at Knoxville on the 9th of April,
1869, adopted resolution favoring SEN
Ter for Governor, said: ''This was un-
expected, for every thing has been going
Stokes-ward for the last three months,
but itmay be that tidal wave for Senter
will set in and swallow up the author of
the Duncan letter" We suggest that our
contemporary take some steps to improve

ANONYMOUS.

We yesterday received one of those
anonymous communications, which serve
to remind editors that there yet survive
some of those unfortunate individuals,
who have only the courage of an assassin
with less than the judgment of a jack
daM.
The responsibility of the editor of a
paper is too great to permit him 10 be
controlled by the opinion of any one man,
much less of one who is too weak to back
his opinion with his name. It is our
pleasure and our duty to hear the views
of all men when respectfully presented,
and from them, in connection with the
dictates of our own judgment as to the
best interest of our whole people, to con-
duct paper which, while it NAV yield TO
the whims and caprices of no particular
person, win watch aud guard the public
good. A word to the wise is sufficient
But we believe that, according TO Prov
erbs, fool despiseth even his fathers in
structions.

So much by way Of text Now for special and
particular application.
II appears that mushroom growth Of so-called
"Bttters," Is springing up under different names
In various localities particularly In the Southern
and Western States, which the vendors have the
hardihood to recommend to essy-going people
upon whom they think they can impose, as . sub.
sttute for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, long re-

HON. Z. III. EWING AND THE JU-
DICEAL CONVENTION.

Hon. Edwin ii. Ewing publishes card
in yesterdays Banner, in which he de-
clines 10 submit his name as that of a
candidate for the Supreme Bench to the
proposed State Judicial Convention. We
have never advocated the calling Of q
conventian to make nominations for that
distinguished position, but as the West
Tennessee bar in attendance upon the
Supreme Court at jackson recon-
mended q State convention at Nash
vile on the second Monday OF
July, and as various counties through
Out the State had seconded that
recommendation by appointing delegates
to the proposed Convention we suggested
and urged that every county, that has not
already done so, appoint delegates to
meet in this city on the day designatedi'y
the West Tennessee bar to consider and
determine as to the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing nominations. ca 1oG
Under the circumstances, we regard
hi, card of Mr.. Ewing as exceedingly
unfortunate, as it not only entirely pre-
cludes his nomination by that Convention,
if nomination should be deemed sdyis-
able, but it strikes the members of that
Convention, who may come here simply to
consult as to the general welfare, 50
fistly in the face that they can scarcely
longer consider the claims of one who
thus places the brand of opprobrium on
their assemblage for the purpose of con-
sultation. This card of Mr. Ewing is the
more strange AMI unaccountable as he
has generally been considered as being
one of the faYorite candidates of the
members of the bar, who, it was sup
posed, would constitute almost entirely
the Convention. 49,, 80 ..--s
Mr.. Ewing having thus abruptly de-
clined the advisory offices of the Conyen-
ton, it will be left to consider and de-
termin. as to the best interests of the
State without reference to admiration or
friendship for him personally.

How THE RADICALS CON
TROLLED THE COURTS.

A few weeks ago the Greeneville Union
called attention TO the fact that it was al
most impossible for 'Rebel" to get JUS
tice in the courts of East Tennessee,
where the contest was between Radical
and a 'tRebel, andinstanced two or three,
cases in support of the assumption. We
have some Radical testimony which fully
coroborates the position assumed by our
Greenevine contemporary. The Knox
vile correspondent of the New York
Times, writing some time in February,
1859, said: L % Ssfg fEcd
'rNine-tenths of the Republican voters
of East Tennessee are sworn members OF
the Union League. So complete and
thorough has been its machinery that it
has extended its influence in every de-
psrtment of our social and political or
ganization. Whether so contemplated
by Its founders or not, it has exerted q
very pernicious and demorallzing inliu-
ence in our courts and religious societies.
1t has taken such deep root among the
particular class of people subjected to its
influence that 1t seems almost impossible
to arrest its power. Under its careful
manipulation the blacks in the State
have become plant and manageable as
any military organization subjected to
long and rigorous discipline. 1t has been
so powerful and persisting in its influence
that thousands have Joined it for protec-
ton. / speak honestly and advisedly
when state that in many counties of our
State it has been almost impossible 10 liti-
gate successfully in our law courts with
out yielding to its demands. 1t has grown
and rooted in strength, for the opposing
party had no organization-no means to
counteract such efforts" s-11
The facts charged by the correspon-
ent of the Times were asserted as true
early in the year previous in his cores
pondence to the Cincinnati Commercial,
when he preferred the grave charge that
SO completely had the Union League the
control of the whole machinery of the
civil government, that it was utterly i'm
possible to convict a member of that
''banded brotherhood" of any crime, how
ever positive the proof. He even went
so far as to assert that in suits where
members of that order or conclaye were
concerned, juries were impaneled with
especial reference to rendering judgment
in their favor. The correspondent who
made the statements or rather charges
we have quoted, said he did so advised
ly."
And now, reader, who do you suppose
that correspondent is2 He is none other
than the present editor of the Knoxville
Chronicle, the new Radical organ foI
East Tennessee. He was himself Radi-
cal and knew the character of the men
who composed that dangerous oath-bould
organization known as the Union League,
and he published to the world how i'm
possible it was for an outsider, 'Rebel, u
for instance, to gain suit against mem
Der of this secret conclaYe; how they had
polluted the stream of justice, and even
invaded the social organization. This was
the unsolicited testimony of the present
editor of the Radical organ at Knoxville.

President GRANT was very poor man
only few years ago. lie is now in
easy circumstances for all his life, made
so by gifts from patriotic gentlemen who
have found their reward in cabinet and
other positions for themselves and their
relations. He has sold one gift house at
a round profit and got another, besides a
lot of land in New Jersey on which he
doesn't set large price. But this did not
prevent one of his secretaries sending a
brother-in-law over the country, with a
letter of introduction, asking subscriptions
for the purpose of buying the President
paid-up life insurance policy of $50. 600
This would cost $27, 200, and a cores

sum and the policy has been secured.
