IMPORTANT FOREIGN NEWS.

We have very important news from
Europe this morning, which will doubtless
be read with pleasure by our readers. The
German Chancellor seems to have conceded
much more to Theirs and his associates
than it was generally believed he would.
These concessions are so important that
they virtually decide the contest by insur-
ing the speedy collapse of the Communists.
So soon as the Germans give over posses
sion of the forts on the north line of de-
fences, Paris is at the mercy of Mac Mahsn
and must speedily surrender or suffer terri
BILE destruction. In addition to the posses
sion of these forts, Mac Mahen's army will
be speedily reinforced by the French sol
diers released from German prisons, most
all of whom will be put into immediate
service Such of them as do sympathize
with the insurgents will find it difficult to
give them any aid, as they are SO hemmed
in that help, swithout organization and
great power, would be of no avail.
These unexpected aids make 1t very GER
tain that the mob that has so mercilessly
ruled over Paris, sacking her churches,
robbing and imprisoning her priests,
plundering her vaults and subjecting the
city itself to destruction, viii soon be over
come. At such result the world viii
rejoice, for from the beginning the Com
munists have been considered as mob
and a conspiracy against the peace and
welfare Of an already distracted nation.

1t will be remembered that some time
ago two defenseless colored men mere taken
out by about fifty disguised Williams in
Weakly county and hung. 1t will also be
remembered that Governor Senter demand
ed from the sheriff of that county full
investigation of the circumstances. After
about two weeks, this sheriff has presented
what he calls report of his investigation,
stating only such facts as have been before
presented through the columns of the
CHRONICLE, except that he states there
were fifty of the murderers instead of
forty as before reported. He gives no clue
whatever to the perpetrators of the das-
tardly act. Governor Senter, we under
stand, offered $500 reward for their appre-
hension, yesterday morning. He might
just as well offer five cents as 5000, for no
member of the oath-bound khan dare to
"peach on another; and if their are any
citizens in that locality who feel inclined
to inform against them, they dare not risk
the consequences which would certainly
follow. The stronger power" at whichthe
Governor limited in his letter to the Sheriff
of Weakly county, would have much
more salutary effect.

In speaking of the demands of Father
Finnegan, for division of the school
fund, the Greeneville Sentinel says of the
Knoxville press:
= The CHRONICLE itself has taken a bold
stand and deals sedge-hammer blows against
the crafty works of those who are seeking, con-
trary to the principles of our republican gov
ernment to make the State aid in the mainten-
anee of religious sect. We heartily commend
the action of the CHRONICLE and wonder at the
ctdpable silence of other Knoxville papers.
Father Finnegan utters no uncertain sound.
The outcropping of that principle which seeks
to unite Church and State is apparent The is
sue is made up, and is of the greatest moment.
The press should speak and the people should
be heard Whilst we are willing to concede
equal rights to Catholics, superior never; and
against such shall ever protest regardless of
political consequences; for to court such prin-
ciple, alike dangerous to civil and political lib
erty, in order to secure the supremacy of party
politics in county, state, or Federal Govern
ment, would be an act of lasting infamy."
We hope the Press and Herald will
break this "culpable silence" and let the
people know where it stands on this ISSUE
East Tennesseeans admire courage, and
they won't respect a paper that lodges
this issue to save a few subscribers

A. Y & P. ,RArItRoAp,-TAe Warren
,Chronicte, informs US that engineer BABBITT,
the engineer sf the Company, who was for
TWO or three weeks engaged ip running the
lines on either side OF the Harbor, which are to
bound the possessions Of the Company in that
vicinity, has since been occupied for some
weeks past in running trial lines from the
graded purt of the road, in Bristol, via Miles
to youngstown. One line from Miles pass s
up the Mesquite creek valley and over the
ridge, crossing the A. & G. W. Ry. near Jacob
Ewalts. in Bazett. BY this route they find a
good line to that point. but there encounter Il
continuous grade of 81 feet to the mile for
nearly two miles, and making an expensive
line. TBS, 9thsr line from Niles is via Warren.
THIS continues on the south side of the Ma.
honing road to . point about one and u half
miles south of Warren, where It crosses the
Mahonipg road, apd, ,sklrling the east part OF
the town, crosses the A. u G. w. Railway,
800 feet east OF the freight depot then by a
very direct and straight line west side of Red
run 1t finds its way 10 Bristol. This line is
found to be very fayOrable for grades and oop-
struction. First. along the Mahoning road
where the maximum grade on that road is
put ,twenty.one feet 70 the mile; from .,bs
crossing of that road the largest half of the
line Is Of level grade, .spcountering at the
Champion summit the maximum for one and
half miles, thirty-t4ree feet grade, which
by slight change of the lire can be reduced
to less than thirty feet. This line is about
forty rods longer than the other, or ,Baletta
