FISK, Jay Gould and Tweed seized the
Erie Railroad in New York and appropri-
ated it to their personal use as highway
men seize the unprotected travellers
purse. When the stockholders went to
the Courts to seek protection under the
laws of the land, they found their path
way blocked by special legislation and cor
rupt Judges. The Albany Legislature had
sold itself to Fisk and Tweed, and any
special laws they wanted were enacted.
The Nashville Banner and the Union
and american hired out their columns at
thirty cents a line to SANDER private cit
izen and his unoffending family. He re-
sorted to the Courts of Justice to defend
his character for the future of his children.
He is confronted now in the prosecution
of his suits with a special law secured
from the last Legislature at Nashville, COM
polling him to continue his litigation at
Nashville. The law was passed for
the benefit of those two papers,
1t is dangerous, unjust statute,
that strikes at the rights of every
man in the State. The people begin to re-
alize this fact. They see in it an outrage
that may next be inflicted on any one of
them. The sober second thought is always
right, and as an indication of public senti-
ment on this subject in East Tennessee,
we invite attention to the article from the
Greeneville Sentinel in another column.

CINCINNATI VERSUS KENTUCKY.

The people of Cincinnati do not take
with very great favor the illiberal provis-
ions tackled on to the charter for their
Southern road by the Legislature of Ken
lucky. The Gazette treats the subject in
this style:
The Cincinnati Southern Railroad bill, as it
has passed the Senate of Kentucky, contains IL
legal provisions and provisions discredita-
BILE to the character of the State, which
the General Assembly, for the sake of
the good name Of the Commonwealth,
should make haste to amend. The provsioa
levying a special and invidious tax upon the
through passengers and freight of this road,
sumes that kentucky is foreign State, and not
only this, but that she is merely an organization
of Bedouin Arabs 70 levy tribute upon trade
and travel passing through their miserable coun-
try. 1t has fixed character in this country as
very mean way of making money. We hope
Kentuckians are not reduced to this. 1t is pea
nutty. And, besides, this levy of an invidiou us
tax upon the trade of other States is clearly lille
gal
For our part, we are utterly opposed to fore
ing upon the people of Kentucky an expendi-
ture often millions of Cincinnati money to build
a railroad in that State under conditions which
treat it as a hostile project and which class the
inhabitants of the central part of the State
through which the Cincinnati road will pass as
if they were the States step-children.

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 Repubh-
can party are right and true. While we
shall pursue this course and 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

An Advocate Of Free Schools.

Regarding FREE SCHOOLS as indispensa-
bic to the public welfare, we will continue
to advocate the establishment in our State,
of a perfect Free School system.
III addition to all this, the PRESIDENTIAL

expect to take an active part. We will
keep our readers fully posted on every
topic of interest connected with the can
vass. Excitement will run high, and
everybody will want the latest news This

In consideration of all this, we call upon
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 in the matter and soon our cir
culation will be increased ten-fold, and our
facilities for doing good correspondingly
increased. Let the work begin at once so
that subscribers may begin with the NEW
YEAR. Send on your clubs, and if you
can't make clubs, send on your single sub

consequently we are compelled to require
payment of subscription INVARIABLY IN
ADVANCE. We cannot depart from this
rule.

Fraudulent MisreurcsenfatiOn

Among the perncicus frauds of the period, there is
which especially deserves the apprehension of al

The fame of Hosetters Bittcrs as health preserv-

We were informed. some time since, by
an insurance agent of this place that there
was no law requiring the publication Of
the Auditor of States certificate relating
to the condition of companies. Here is
the law:

Of egery insurance company of the kind
provided for in this act, doing business in
this State, organized under the laws of
this State, or Of dRy other State or Ma

Greeley or Grant.
From the Kansas City Timos.l


What can any Democrat, ANY fair man,
say against Horace Greeley. as the Libc-
raj candidate for President? Is it Oh
jected that he is Republican 1t should
then be remembered that Grant was q
Democrat, and that to, day he is on trial
before the tribunal of the people for the
shortcomings and outrages Of his ad .
ministration Which is to be preferred
Greeley, with bis honest hatred of
rings, his answering justice, his life
long devotion TO the interests Of the
country-or Grant. with his sellishness,
his nepotism, his arrogance, and his ret
inue of leeches who grow fat upon the
blood Of the Treasury?
To our view no better candidates
could have been selected, and we hope
THAT the Democracy in their National
Convention,will promptly endorse them,
and thereby render the overthrow OF the
present corrupt and extrayagant Admin
istration a foregone conclusion.

The Democratic State Convention in
New York, yesterday, was perhaps the
most important of the preliminaries to

the tone Of the resolutions and drift OF
the proceedings mean the succe SIS OF the

neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol.
BY its emolient, soothing effect, it assimi.

of this revolution, will provoke more
foul abuse than has ever yet been heap
ed on candidate for office. Let his
enemies paint him in all the dark, dis
NAL, disgusting, loathsome colors they
can compound of malice, wrath, and
vengeance; let them collect all the op-
probrious epithets in the dictionaries,
and words that are known, out never

and vixen he is made as mean and dis
gusting as all these can make him, we
