The New York San says: The Louis.
vile Courier Journal publishes an account
OF society formed in some of the Southern
States, for the purpose of getting rid Of
such negro thieves and desperadoes as can
be induced by money to quit the country,
by shipping them to the Northern States ;
and thinks the device Of paying maraude:s
to go elsewhere, instead for Ku-Kluxi, z
them, a good idea, although perhaps unjust
to the Northern communities to which it is
proposed to send them There is 30 occa-
sion for any computations of conscience on
this score There is no probability that the
society will ever send as many thieves
North as we have sent South and more
over, it is not asked thai We shall make their
transported rascals Governors and members
of Congress, or give them the control Of
our State finances. 1t will require lively
export of thieves to the North to turn the
balance of trade against US.

INFORMATION WANTED.

We are daily receiving letters from other
States asking for information about East
Tennessee, particularly about the price of
lands. Our friends throughout East Ten
nessee will confer great favor upon US if
they will at once send us such information
as they can gather concerning the quanti-
ty, quality, kinds and prices of land in
their neighborhood or county. We would
like all who feel interested in the prosperi-
ty of our section to take some interest in
this matter and write to us. 1t is some
thing that really benefits our readers quite
as much as itdOes us, and wetherefOre hope
they will see that we get the information.
We would like to know: First, the ave-
rage price of improved lands; second, the
average price of timber and grazing lands
third the average price of bottom and up
lands fourth, the amount of land in each
county supposed to be for sale. Any other
facts bearing on this subject We would be
glad to receive. We expect shortly to is
sue our articles on East Tennessee in a
cheap pamphlet edition, and the people of
every county will find it to their interest
to have such facts concerning them in it,
for it will have wide circulation. There
is no danger of our getting too many let
tiers OH the subject, SO we hope our friends
will not delay, relying upon somebody to
do the work.

WHY so MUCH ZEAL I

The Nashville Banner, under charge of
stealing by Col. Baxter, wants to curry
favor with its party by Over-zeal and vio-
lence of abuse and denunciation. When
the radicals" were in power in Tennessee
the Banner courted the reputation of a
moderate conservative paper and thereby
won subscribers, and, perhaps, patronage.
Now it cannot be severe enough on the
radicals and goes out of its way to make
wild, puerile and even false charges.
Thus, a few days since, in noticing the
fact that the Secretary of State turned over
to Col. McGhee one hundred and eleven
thousand dollars in State bonds for our
East Tennessee University, the Banner
went clear out of its way to make the
charge that the Agricultural College scrip
donated to Tennessee by Congress "was
sold several years ago by the Radical State
officials for S271, S75, considerably betor0 its
Uague.n
Now, let us show how little this State
printing organ knows of what it so zeal
ously and glibly talks about. Under Gov.
Brownlow's Administration, 100000 acres
of the land donated as above was sold for
the price named by the Banner, it being
over eighty cents per acre. By reference to
the official documents, we see that the
States that have thus far sold their scrip
received the following prices:
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1871-09-26

The Northwestern States, In which there
were unappropriated public lands, located
their lands and did perhaps better than
those States that were obliged to sell.
But if the public printing concern-the
Banner one, we mean, will compare the
rates received by the radical " authori-
ties of Tennessee with those of the simon
pure Democrats of kentucky, it will find
that, so far from selling our scrip beIoW raj
nc, they received nearly double that of
Kentucky, and the highest price quoted.
Will the Bonner and its satellite of this
city, which published the misrepresenta-
ton, correct it? We shall see.

THE SALE OF OUR RAILROADS.

From the Nashville Union and american
we gather the following items concerning
the proceedings of the Chancery Court up
on the report of sale made by the Commits
sioners.
The purchasers insisted, through Mr..
Baxter, counsel, that the Court had APP
pointed Commissioners to make the sale
upon certain conditions. These conditions
were expressed in the decree of the Court,
and, having been complied with, the sale
ought to be confirmed. Mr., Baxter said:
The sale was duly attested, and Messrs. w.
b. johnson d Co., who purchased the road
were the last, highest and best bidders. 1t was
true their bid of $780, 600 was far below the min
imum price fixed by the Commissioners, but it
was all the road was worth The only way to
test the value of a piece of property is to see
what 1t returned at the rate of six per cent on
the investment In seventh Humphreys, de-
clslon was given In case similar to this in favor
OF the purchasers, and it was there laid down
that before confirmation of sale, the Chancellor
Will not set it aside simply and alone because
the property has brought an inadequate price.
Since then that decision has been repeatedly
confirmed, In the case before the Court, the
only ground on which the Commissioners ought
to set aside the sale, was on the ground of the
lnadequacy OF the Did: Inc experience OF this
very Court has been that in most cases of resale
lower prices were obtained than at the first sale.
The disagreement between the parties in this
case was, that the Commissioners assumed that
they made the sale, whereas the purchasers
contended that they bought from the Chancery
Court
Judge Cooper replied at considerable length
and argued that there was in reality no sale I'M
der the terms of the decree.
Mr.. Baxter, after replying to Judge Coopers
arguments, said that the parties he (Mr. b. rep
resented were anxious that there should be the
freest and fullest competition in the purchase of
the road, and to that end were willing that the
State should have a reasonable time to adyer-
tise in all the commercial papers of the country
for bids, and if at the expiration of that period
no higher price should be offered than the bid
of his clients, that their purchase be confirmed,
