THE PUBLIo.pRrNTING.

The minority report of the late Investi-
eating Committee on the Public Printing
frauds, shows very clearly that the tax
payers Of the State are annually defraud-
ed by the public printers, out of thous-
ands of dollars. The proof is nnmis-
taxable, that they charge exorbitant prices
for the paper actually furnished the State,
and defraud the State by receiving pay for
more paper than they actually furnish, and
for more composition than the State or
ders or needs. The frauds we say, are
clear to every honest man, and the legis-
lator who refuses, with these facts be-
fore him, to vote for q change of the law
so as to give the work of the State to the
party who will do it best and cheapest,
votes con trary to the wishes of his constit-
uents and the public interests. We intend
to watch this matter, and report to our
readers, the names of their public servants
who are either corrupted or are morally
too cowardly to repeal the present iniqui-
tous system.
But Tennessee is not the only State
where real reformers and honest legisla-
tors favor the contract policy, which the
CHRONICLE has so often urged.
The following article from the Atlanta
SIN shows that the issue is made up in
that State between honest legislators and
the aspiring press of the Commonwealth.
Gays lne GUH
In our last issue we published the Senate
bill, which proposes to give the public printing
to the lowest bidder. The measure meets our
unqualified approval, and we hope the General
Assembly will give it their sanction. The fair
ness of the proposition not be denied, and he
who gives it any opposition, it seems to us,
publicly puts himself against retrenchment!
The bill, as it stands, means business, and is
right in principle. Let the man who will do
the work cheapest and who can give the bond,
have the contract. ~
We are willing to take the printing for Is
per cent. less than it has been done since the
war, and are ready to enter into any sort of OBJ
legation to do the work faithfully, promptly and
TO the full satisfaction of the State"
publish ten-column paper semi-occasion-
ally, by reason of its public printing pa
tronage. Take this from it and it would
soon sink to very ordinary paper.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH TT

The result of the recent elections at the
North has at last opened the eyes of the
blind leaders of the Democratic party to
the fact that their party is dead. Some of
them have been turning up their noses for
some time, as if they smelled something
dead, but they had never thoroughly real
lied the fact, until the result of last Tues
day lifted the curtains, and revealed the
Democratic party as only loathsome,
sinking corpse. Now, they are discussing
the question, what shall be done with it a?
1t seems that it is hard for them to deter
mine whether TO gather up it's bones and
give it first-class funeral, or whether it is
better to keep up the foolish attempts they
have been making for the last five years to
resurrect, its putrid body. Whether to use
restoratives or spades and shovels is the
great question. If our advice is worth
anything to the friends of the deceased, we
would advise spades by all means. 1t is
no time now,..in this nineteenth century,
to be talking about restricting a body
which has been dead so long. And then
so long as the friends of the deceased treat
it as living thing, its enemies will be in
clined to kicb it, and.to bring up unpleas
ant things connected with its eventful ,anC
unenviable history. If they insist upon
its being living thing, right in the face Of
the horrid stencil that emanates from III
putrid carcass, they subject themselves t.
ridicule, and must be content to hear it
many faults, without counterbalancing vir
to funeral its enemies will consent to see
ing its name go into contempt and obliv
ion. Let the funeral come off, and we will
all joi II in the sentiment, Requiescat 4,

THE DISSATISFIED DEMOCRACY.

The Democracy of Tennessee seems to
be in 'pi," to use a printers expression. A
number of factions exist, each anxious and
striving to maintain its ascendancy. These
several factions are anxious to do some
thing whereby they may incur public ia
vor, but no one seems to know just what.
The recent meeting of the State Central
Committee, which, to some of the leading
organs of the party seemed without an
object, was probably suggested by the
state of affairs to which we allude. 1t was
necessary to take reckoning" 10 know
just where the party stands, and to ascer-
tain whether or not breakers are ahead.
In West Tenn essee we see the appeal
filling its columns with all sorts of stories
about Tom. Scott, and low taxes, and ras-
cally bond-holders and Gov. Brown
looms up in the back ground as
devoting his influence in stirring nd
ruin financially and politically. No soft
words are employed in giving vent to the
feelings of the Appeal, which seems to be
filled with dreadful forebodings of the flu
ture. One would suppose that it was car
rying all the burden of saving the State
from the appalling fate it predicts, and
that it was eXerting all its power in the
accomplishment of such task. We look
over the columns of the Nashville papers,
and they seem serene, having all conf
dence in Gov. Brown and the State Cen
trail Committee. The new party move
ment at Nashville, which originated with
a great flourish of irumpets, showing
that the leaders expected great success,
twinkled but moment in the poliit-
| cal horizon, and was eXtinguished by the
| unrelenting maledictions of the opposers.
What to expect next we cannot tell, but
| it is time something else should be brought
| forward to stimulate the friends of the
dominant party in this State, and keep W
their spirits for the next campaign. We
should look with some interest to the next
| movement, .... TT.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE"

The little band of Radicslsi in the Legislature
deserves credit for the excellence of their drill
They move as one man. At the word of COM
mand they wheel to the right or to the left,
march forward or backward as the order may
be. They keep up the touch of the elbows and
constantly watch the movements of their file
leader. AS u consequence they always cast their
whole strength for or against a measure as their
party interest may dictate Union and ADleri-
can.
The Union and american pays a de-
served tribute to the "little band of Radi-
Gals in the Legislature, but seems not to
understand the true reason. The little
band Of Radicals" in following out the
principles of their party, have no other mo-
tive for the government of their actions,
than the welfare, honor and credit of their
State. Being governed by such motive
as this, all striving to honestly represent
their constituents, it is perfectly natural
that they should move as one man" They
want no "word of command" to "wheel to
the right or to the left, !" for duty marks out
their movements, and an honesty of pur-
pose is the word of command. GAS a con-
sequence, they cast their whole strength
for or against a measured as their common
sense, guided by an honest intention, may
dictate. There is nothing strange or pc
culiar in this. Made up of such men, ac-
tuated by such motives, in would be
strange If they did not move "as one
man,

THE lesson Of the recent elections Is q
very important one. 1t teaches us that
"all power is inherent in the people, and
that as long as the people are true to them
selves, no combination of corrupt men,
however powerful, can LONG. retain control
of any American State. While powerful
monied Combinations may lead the igno-
rant, suppliant, uneducated roughs of a
great city, they are perfectly powerless with
the intelligent masses i'm this country. ~
The Democracy hope, by their uncom-
promising opposition to common schools,
and their alliance with Roman Catholic
ism, whose bigoted priesthood claim un-
disputed possession of the minds of their
trucking followers, to bring about con-
dition of affairs, which will enable them
to rule America as their pammany friends
do the great metropolis of the Western
Hemisphere. The suppliant tools of the
Tammany Democracy seem to be proud of
the record of their rulers, as exposed by
the New York Times, while the more sub
stantial people of the country districts
stamp upon their action the fiat of popu-
lar Indignation thus teaching corrupt
politicians lesson which, if they do not
Improve, they will at least never forget Z
The New York election is important on
account of its probable bearing upon
national politics. 1t will doubtless aug
ment the numbers of the already
respectable class in the Democratic party
who advise their friends to allow the next
Presidential election to go by default,
Conscious of their inability TO succeed
upon their present platform, and unable to
reconcile the malcontents, their more sa-
gacious leaders can see nothing but defeat
before them.
The success of Republicanism in the
next Presidential election. is now a fore
gone conclusion. The great success of
General Grants administration has par
alyzed the opposition, while the record of
their own party damns them in the eyes of
the American people.
Corrupt men are found in the ranks of
all parties, but it is left for the Democracy
to endorse the action of the Tammanyites,
whose gigantic thefts are without paral-
lei in the history of this, or any other
The Democratic party find themselves
in this condition If they attempt to carry
they find themselves convicted
Of the most unparalleled knavery in the
worlds history, while, if they exclude
them, with all of their wealth filched from
the taxpayers of New York, they will be
unable to carry even that great stronghold
of Democracy.
