AFTER about ten days of reflection, and
in response to our repeated demands to
know where it stands on the school issue,
the Press and Herald says, 1T is our
principle-it is not the American princi-
ple-that the State discharges its duty
when it protects all religions, and violates
principle and conscience when it supports
any," Exactly; that's as clear as mud.
But it SO happens that, so far as the Demo-
cratic party has committed itself at all, it
supports Catholicism-as see its present
position in New York City. And it so
happens that in this city the demand of
Father Finnegan is not for protection, but
for support. He demands division of
the school fund, which is public money,
for the support of Catholic schools. Will
the Press and Herald say how it stands on
this question?
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1871-05-11

THE corruption of the New York city
government, which is thoroughly Demo
cratic, is so notorious as to hardly need
further notice. But the New York Times
shows one item of this robbery going on
that is worthy of notice. 1t says that there
are now holding positions as attendants"
on the courts of this city upwards of two
hundred persons. None of the courts re-
quire more than eight attendants, and half
of them not more than four, and in point
of fact, as it charges not more than one
third of these official ever make their ap-
pearance in any court, unless brought there
for violation of laws. They draw from the
city treasury $500 each per annum. At
least one hundred and fifty of these could
be dispensed with, then the courts would
have as many attendants as they had be-
fore the 'sring'' came into power The
salaries of these useless officials amount to
the enormous sum of S225, 900. The beau
ties of Democratic rule in that city are
partially illustrated in this item.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION
OF Any Daily Published in East Tennessee.

GEN. SHERMAN denies ever having made
the speech at New Orleans concerning the
kuklux outrages, which has been so ex-
tensively published and commented on by
Democratic papers. We never supposed it
true. 1t first appeared, as we remember,
in the Memphis Avalanche, from its New
Orleans correspondent.
In speech made few days subsequent
to the one eferred to, he said 81 see that
what said, on the occasion of another re-
ception extended to me since my arrival,
has been entirely misrepresented, and
am credited with words did not utter at
ALL" He said, at the same time, 81 do
not wish to be considered a politician. I
do not seek any civil position whatever,
and do not wish to be suspected of doing
so. Indeed, 1 should positively decline
any offer of a civil or political position"
Gen. Sherman is too true soldier to go
about the country making political speech
es of the character ascribed to him, or to
speak unexpectedly of his friend and
commander, the President.

Senator BrownIow Interyieved.

The correspondent of the New York
Times, in his recent visit to Knoxville,
visited Senator Brownlow and thus writes
of him:
while in Knoxville, paid my respects
to the fighting parson' / found the Sen
ator in much better health than [ had ex-
pected, though badly afflicted with the
rheumatism or palsy. His voice, though
low, is clear and distinct. He welcomed
me cordially, and had a pleasant half
hours conversation with him.
His first remark was that he did not
know what thought about it, but those
people referring to the Southerners) had
the very devil in Them He is warm
friend of Grants, and regards him as GER
tain to be the next President, although the
fight will be close one.' Sumner, he
thinks, hurt himself more than he did any
one else, and has his own boundless ambi-
ton to blame for his course. AS a man,
he admires Sumner exceedingly. Grant,
he said, was a little green when he first
came into office, but he was being educated
into statesman. He thought that he
possessed more ability than he had been
given credit for. Being asked if he did
not regret the inability to speak, he said
that sometimes he did, but that it was bet
ter both for himself and for the Senate that
he could not talk, since if he could he
should always be in a row.
Though still in feeble health, the Sena-
tor looks as though he could stand the wear
and tear of many years to come, and he is
the same incorporating, bitter and per-
sistent hater of rebels and rebellion that he
always was"
