WHY so MUCH ZEAL 2

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 denuncation. 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 twas
sold several years ago by the Radical State
officials for sci ,S75, considerably JeJOiO its
udlte.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, 300, 900 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:

A WIDE GULF.

The wide and deep gulf that divides the
Northern and the Southern Democracy is
in no way more marked than in the
speeches of the leading men of the party
in the respective sections. Democracy
North is one thing and Democracy South
quite another.
We have read with some care the recent
able speech of Hon. VIM. ;. Groesbeck
delivered in Ohio. He is prominently
mentioned as a Democratic candidate for
the p Presidency, and the speech referred to
has attracted great attention and been
strongly endorsed by the progressive wing
of the party North.
But to show how wide the difference be-
tween the Democracy of Mr. Groesbeck
and the North, and that of Stephens, Da-
Wis, TOombs and the South, we need only
quote. the following paragraph:
Mr.. Groesbeck says " 1 yield to no one in
love for the Union. 1t is indispensable to US.
Mere federation of the States is not enough
We tried it and it failed. We needed a more
perfect Union than mere federation, and we
made such Union, and Il has not failed. re.
joice in il in its history; its achievements itf
successes and its example There IS no better
Government. We should be proud of it. proud
| Of our citizenship in it, and the duty is upon al
TO support and preserve it,
Z" / have always thought that, under the Con-
stituton, no State had the right to secede from
the Union"
This may be very good democracy in
Ohio, but it won't do for Tennessee OF
Georgia, or the South generally.

OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

Through an interview had with Mayor
Van Glider, who returned yesterday from
Nashville, we are enabled to give some adj
ditional facts to those contained in the
special dispatch in yesterdays CHRoNI-
Gle.
The sale of the Knoxville and Kentucky
Road was made to company of capital
lists interested in the enterprise by Col
McGhee and composed of w. b. Johnston,
of Macon, Ga. Gov. Brown, of Atlanta, Ca;
Gen. Cowan, of Cincinnati Secretary De-
lano, of Washington Hon. Simon Came
ron, of Pennsylvania; Moses Taylor, of
New York, and others. As stated in our
special, the Commissioners were not salts
fled exactly with the price, but agreed
to report the sale to the Chancery Court at
Nashville, and then have the whole case
referred to the Legislature for final action.
tits proper here to say that two delinquent
roads of about the same length as our
Knoxville roads, were sold in Middle Ten
nessee by the same Commissioners for
about the same sum. 1t would seem
therefore. that the Legislature and Court
ought to confirm the sale, as we can seelno
reason for any discrimination against East
Tennessee.
If the sale is confirmed, the company
referred to will organize at once, and COM
plete the road through to Cincinnati.
They will save to the city of Knoxville
and counties of Knox and Anderson their
stock. Being interested in the lease of the
Georgia State road, from Chattanooga to
Atlanta, it will be to their interest to build
the road as soon as possible, and this they
have guaranteed to do.
The sale of the Knoxville and Charles
ton road to the Blue Ridge Company
stands upon the same basis as to the con-
firmation of the sale. This company is
well known as the company extending the
road from Charleston towards our State
line, and we are informed they are in con-
dition to take the whole line and give us
through connections to the sea coast at an
early day.
We see in the result of this sale every
reason to be encouraged. We believe we
are soon to enjoy new railroad facilities
which will give Knoxville advantages she
has long needed, and such as are sure to
aid in her rapid growth.

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 suchinformation
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 we therefore 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 on the subject, so we hope our friends
will not delay, relying upon somebody to
do tho work

THE Nashville Banner doesn't like the
d" little radical organ at Knoxville" Well,
we know a good many other Democratic
sheets that don't. Weknow the CHRONICLE
is - little" paper, but then we don't
feed at the public crib" Perhaps, if we
Gould get pay -four timesn for what work
we do, we could publish ten, nine or
eight column paper, as the amount OF
stealings permitted. But, really, the Ban
ner pursues very poor policy in showing
SO plainly its distress. Everybody knew
Baxter's exposure would hurt it, but most
persons thought they would be sharper
than to advertise it SO plainly.

Col. BAXTER, in his letter to the Mem
phis appeal, said the hope of Democracy
was in "raising the standard of journal
ism" The Nashville Banner, which feeds
off the people to the extent of So, 900 a
year, very naturally took the thrust as di.
rected at it, and replies in bitter article OF
a column. The Memphis AppeaI is read
out of the Democratic party for publishing
a letter from such a man. Evidently, Col.
Baxter's exposures have hurt the Banner.
It's influence has been limited heretofore,
and will naturally be much lessened, now
that its corruptions are exposed.

ties of Tennessee with those of the simon

Will the Banner and its satellite of this

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 81 Co., who purchased the road,
were the last, highest and best bidders 1t was
true their bid of $4,000 was far below the min
mum price fixed by the Commissioners, but 1t
was all the road was worth. The only way to
test the value of piece of property is to see
what it returned ut the rate of six per cent. on
the investment. In seventh Humphreys, de-
cision was given in a 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
inadequacy of the bid. The 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 tho purchasers
contended that they bought from the Chancery
Court.
Judge Cooper replied at considerable length.
and argued that there was in reality no sale un-
der the terms of the decree.
Mr.. Baxter, after replying to Judge Cooper's
arguments said that the parties he (Mr. ID. } 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 o reasonable time to adver-
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,

TENNESSEE has 90, 900 900 acres of unim-
proved lands, the sale of which would add
$50, 900 900 cash to- her wealth and 600 Ooto
her population, so says the Enterprise.
Well, Tennessee can sell that land If she
will but make the proper effort. With
Ben. Hill, of Georgia, we say, she need
not go to Sweden and Norway or China
for immigrants, she can get American cit
liens with capital if she wants them.
We would like to see immigrants come,
of course, but we need not make our sole
effort in that direction.
The North is filled with the best citizens
any State could ask for, who are looking
South for homes. If the proper effort Is
made, they can be induced to come. We
can give the address of a thousand of them
any day, from the mailing books OF the
WEEKLY CHRONICLE. We have their let
rters on file to show that they are honest,
intelligent men-just the very class we
need TO help us build up our State. shall
we reach out for them?

AFTER Germany was Inundated and de-
vastated by the first Napoleon, the first
step in her preparations to crafty the
deep-rooted public passion for revenge, was
to thoroughly educate herpeople. Her sa-
gacious rulers recognized the fact that pop
ular education was the basis for all nation
al prosperity and power. The work was
begun Systematically and thoroughly, and
the fruits of this policy is to-day united
Germany, the first power in war and in
peace in Europe.
The example is encouraging, and we cite
it to to impress upon urpeoplein the city
and country the importance of the great
work inaugurated in our public schools.
From all parts of the county, we hear en-
couraging reports of the favorable manner
with which these schools are accepted, and
the cordial support they are receiving.
The success of the undertaking depends
largely, as before stated, upon the public.
If the commissioners and teachers are sup
ported and the scholars encouraged, there
will be no trouble. We trust every friend
of education feels the Importance of the
work and will spare no effort to contribute
to its success.
Already our work has attracted atten-
ton abroad. We have received by letter
and otherwise, word that the exam
pie of Knoxville and Knox county
is having its influence for good
upon other counties. We will soon real
ize, in many ways, the fruits of our eff
forts. We must remember, however, that
it is not the work of month or year
We must build up from the foundation.
We must do our work thoroughly and the
fruits will come as surely as the harvest
follows the seed time. For years we will
yet labor under the many disadvantages of
too much ignorance and crime, but if we
educate the youth Alright, We begin for the
future upon a firm foundation and our
growth will be uniform, rapid and endur-
| ing.
