COL. McGHEE AND THE MEMPHIS
APPEAL.
From the JonesbOro Flag.

CD. {. VI. McGhee is the Representative
i'm Tie present Legislature of Tennessee
from Knox county. Although he was a
"Rebei" during the war, he was elected by
the RadiCal-I Mon men Of Knoxville and
Knox county-he having given up politics,
after the rebellion was put down, and en-
gage in improving and building up East
Tennessee. He is a thorough business man
and although he likes the South as his
native place. vet he is not a fanatiC-and
shows bv his efforts and actions, that he
means TO aid in building up the waste places
made deSoate by the war, and give shape
and form to future prosperity.
II was probably Col. Mc(1hee's desire to
extend the commerce of East Tennessee,
and place her people on a footing with the
progressive people Of the world, when he
aide ia his official capacity the great en-
tcrpriSc which is destined to connect New
York with New Orleans in one grand rail-
road IA prOughfare-a double track railroad
by which East Tennessee is to be crown
ed The "Central Paradise" in the great
scheme.
This effort on the part Of Col. McGhee
has raised the ire Of the rebel press Of Mem
phis. and the way they are hurting their
withering (?) anathemas against him IS, or
would be, a matter of aStOnishment to
frowning Nesuvius itself But McGhee is
straight He is un'erriied. He meets the
earthquake like a gallant hero, and casts
defiance in the teeth Of his calumnious foes
His spirit is shared by such men as Jacques,
Wilson. and hosts Of other men who are
lust about two hundred years ahead of the
weak fnssilS who are whimpering about
the Lost Cause and such other sub
iects who have never-will never, and can
never Use above the groyellings of blind
and degraded prejudice.
oThugs arr working however, and We
are lad there is one man in the Legislature
who is not afraid TO ''strike while the iron
is hot" We are glad, also, that we have
now a Governor who shuts his eyes to the
wicked Vaccinations of political demagogue-
ism. and look the progress Of our country
full in the face. While we were mortified
TO see lis reference in his inaugural to a
class of men who have struggled for the
prosperity and Up-building of our noble
Commouweal' h. We rejoice now at behold
ing him in the front ranks fighting for her
trn. interests. Gov. Brown, by this course,
will elevate himself before the people, ire
speytye OF party politics,

Edgeheld and kentucky Railroad.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
l see in your paper of this date (Nov. ~
that the Justices of the County Court are
called to meet on Tuesday next. under
stand that the object of that meeting is to
take into consideration the sale of the
Edgefield and Kentucky road to a foreign
corporation. Through your columns l ap-
peal to the County Court to submit this
question of purchase or no purchase to a
vote Of the county, and let us have dis
cussion upon this subject before the
people. Every taxpayer in Davidson
has a right to be heard on this subject,
and there are voices which will be heard, if
the question is submitted. This negotia-
ton, thus far, has gone on Ue1y smoothly,
but now comes the time for action. If the
County Court refuses to give the people a
vote on this question, We ask some Demo-
cratic member of the Court, some friend of
the people, to call for the ayes and noes, so
that we may all know who is against giving
the people of Davidson 4 chance to vote on
this most important question. viz.

STATE FINANCES AND GOV. BROWN.
From the Gallatin Examiner.

lolh tllt 'Nalidllu Examiner
We are sorry to see the violence of Il, q
discussions that have grown out &c the
question Of taxation now before the Lexis
lature. Some OF the friends Of low taxes
have become so unjust as Well as indiscreet
as to indulge IN epithets and filings at those
VINO have supported the views of Gov.
Brown that a sufficient tax should be assess
Gu 10 maintain ouIr State credit, and pay our
current ezpehs. IS, with the grossest insinua-
uoIls tiiaC NJ and his supporters are the
Jools OF -ne bOndhOlders. OF course no one
on ca tn who knows Gov. Brown believes
I'd -.C he is capable Of being anybody's tool,
or that he would swerve a hairs breadth
from what he thinks is right, nor do We
believe that any one in the Legislature
who favors his views is influenced by
improper motives. We only allude
to these matters TO enter ourprotest against
the deSpicable habit that so many newspa-
pers and individuals have of suspecting
Others Of improper motives whenever there
is the least difference of opinion upon a
public question. We rather feel inclined
to believe that there must be something
wrong about those who are constantly see
ing notes in other peoples eyes.
In regard to Gov. Browns estimates and
views Of taxation, although we have advo-
Gated d lower rate than he has suggested in
his message, yet We are not so strongly
welded to our own ideas. that We do not
very greatly defer to the maturer and care
full estimates of the Executive and the
Comptroller and Treasury Departments,
who are in every respect, from their posi-
tons, better qualified to arrive at a correct
conclusion than any outsider.
We have been of the opinion that tax
Of thirty cents was the figure, and that the
payments upon the bonded debt should be
deferred for a few years, but we are assured
that the. estimate Of Gov. Brown of fifty
cents. with close collections. and other just
additions to the tax list will tide us over
our troubles, pay the current expenses and
provide, also, for the early resumption of
payments upon the bonded debt. If this
be SO, and the Governor has ''ciphered"
far more than We have, We are not so much
attached to any of our previous views
as TO cling to them too tenaciously.
After all. it is a mere difference in
" ciphering," and if fifty cents will
preserve the integrity of the State
credit, aud keep the government in motion,
by all means let it be assessed. And We,
too, hope that the eXtremes-the high and
the low discussions in the Legislature, will
endeayOr to approach each other on the
question and let it be settled at once. 1t is
no part of wisdom TO adhere to a position
merely because it has been taken, but wiser
10 review often ones preconceptions, and
ALWAYS with respe ctful Difference to the
views Of others who are equally honest and
patriotic, and often in position to give them
better opportunities Of forming correct Opin-
ions upon matters Of public policy.
