The eyes of Democrats all over the coun-
try have turned longingly to a special Sen
atorial election in the Fourth Pennsyl-
vania District, which came off OH Tuesday.
The candidates were Colonel a. K. Nc
Clure, Independent Republican, or Gre
former" as he was styled, and Colonel
Gray, the regular nominee of the Repub-
lican party. The Democrats supported
Mcclure, and his election would have
been heralded as a Democratic triumph.
But it will be seen that his opponent was
elected and now, as q matter of course,
the Democratic papers claim that the cleo
ton was fraudulent. The issue was Grant
and anti-Grant, and the result is just
what may be everywhere expected when
chronic sore-heads and grumblers pit them
selves against all honest administration of
public affairs.

TENNEssEE.BANK NOTES.

The papers are now discussing the va
rious subjects which, in their opinion, the
Governor ought to include in his procla-
nation for an extra session of the General
Assembly, as fit subjects for legislation.
We have question which we wish to sub
NIT for his consideration, and it is one OF
vital Importance to our Commonwealth,
in her present impoverished financial con-
dition.
| Many people believe, and not without
reason, that the tax collectors in some of
the counties are constantly swindling the
State, by paying Tennessee money in the
treasury when they have received current
funds from the tax payers. We have
heard of tax collector in one of the
wealthiest counties of the State presenting
his quarterly report, from which it APP
peared that not single individual had
paid his or her taxes in current funds
This may or may not have been true. We
understand that at least one of the tax
payers of the county, who happened to be
in the Treasurer's Office, and who saw the
report, claims to have paid his State taxes
in greenbacks. Many counties present re-
ports, perhaps not exactly similar to this,
but showing very small amount of cur
rent funds. Would it not be we'll to have
some additional legislation on this subject?
We cannot tell what legislation is required,
but if the Treasurer was called upon, we
have no doubt but that he could furnish
information in regard to this matter, which
would warrant the Legislature in investi-
eating the reports of tax collectors. There is
certainly screw loose somewhere, in the
management of Tennessee Bank issues in
| connection with the taxes, and the matter
requires attention.

An Advocate Of Free Schools.

Regarding FREE SCHOOLS as indispensa-
bile to the public welfare, we will continue
to advocate the establishment in our State,
of perfect Free School system.

our friends everywhere to rally to our sup
port. Let CLUBS be made up at every post
office. Let each one of our friends inter-
est himself i'll the matter and soon our cir
culation will be increased ten-fold, and our

increased. Let the work begin at once so
that subscribers may begin with the NEW

of the country, We expect to defend
the present National Administration SO
long as it conducts public affairs in the
satisfactory manner which has character
lied its past history. We do this because
we believe the principles of the Republic
can party are right and true. While We
shall pursue this course aud advocate what
we believe to be right, with whatever abil-
ity we poss ess and with all the earnestness
of our nature; we will accord to others
the right to think and act for
themselves, and in our criticisms of those
with whom we may differ we will endeav-
or to exercise that courtesy toward others
which we expect in return from those who
may differ with us.
But while we are earnestly engaged in
these partisan discussions, our chief aim
and highest ambition will always be the
development of

OUR vigilant Representatives Congress
succeeded in having the House strike out of
the appropriation bill clause limiting the
time i'll which claims might be prosecuted
against the Government. In his efforts
he was ably supported by General Butler,
of Massachusetts,, and Ex-Governor Blair,
of Michigan. We are glad to note the
vigor of the latter gentleman's opposition,
for it indicates liberal action OH his part,
as Chairman of the Claims Committee,
towards the South, This gentleman's pO-
sition, that sovereign could not and
should not fix limitation to claims against
it, is undoubtedly correct. We know the
efforts of these gentlemen in support of
Mr.. Maynard's motion will be gratefully
remembered by loyal claimants in East
Tennessee.

Any enterprise having this end in view,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupled before another

with the prospect, and believe that our
humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for
homes i'll Tennessee, than of any other
journal published in the State. We will
never relax our efforts to induce immigra-
lion to this State and to the South.
