IMAGINED POLITICAL WRONGS"

We had the pleasure of meeting with
DR.. w. r. Sewer, on the train between
Morristown and Knoxville yesterday, and
in view of the present complications in the
Democratic party in this State, were re-
minded of an address written by him and
re-published in the CHRONICLE in February
last, in which he gave some of the causes
that led to the election of General John G..
Vaughn to the speakcrship Of the Senate,
in the last Legislature. Speaking of the
fact that all the important and paying of
fees were being monopolized by ex-Con-
federates, he said in that address:
1.-THE criterion of merit with this class of men
Chose then controlling the Democratic party is
the extent and importance of the services render
ed by the candidate to the Confederacy; and per
contra, the badge of inferiorty placed upon all
men who were friends of the Government during
the war, regardless of their sacrifices and efforts
in behalf of peace, popular rights, universal am
nesty and universal suffrage, since that period
The Press and Herald alluded to the adj
dress as personal jeremiad, over mag
ined political wrongs" and charged that
DR.. Sewers defeat was the result of his own
acts. But he at the time saw the rock up
on which the Democratic ships were to be
rent in twain. What he saw then Others
are seeing now, and in their dismay are
hating between two opinions-on the
fence-not knowing which faction to serve
What he then foresaw, but which could
not be seen in any other light than that o.
imagined political wrongs" eliminated
| in the nomination of Cheatham over John
son. Now, those who made sport of hin
then, are alarmed until their knees are
shifting together like Belshazzar of old
and they are waiting to see which is the
popular side.

THE "BIG ORGAN" SPEAKS.


The editor of the Press and Herald has
been a member of the State Executive
Committee of Tennessee that has hereto
fore selfishly manipulated the Democratic
party of the State. He has been for years
a leading member of the party in the State.
The junior editor of the "big organ" was
one of the officers of the late convention
that nominated Lieut.-General B. f.
Cheatham for Congress and participated in
its deliberations. Mr.. Fleming is not only
member of the State Committee, but he
is part of the regular DEM
ocratic State ticket. He has always been
strict party man, one of the "whippers
in" on all occasions when independent vo-
tiers attempted to throw off the corrupt and
selfish rule of the party leaders. The Press
and Herald has Away been a strict party
organ. Its war cry has alway been "vote
the straight ticket" Its very existence as
a paper has been prolonged by the patron
age bestowed upon it as party organ. fit
had depended for support upon its legiti-
mate receipts as newspaper it would have
| died some time ago.
AL thCSS IllAlSS cOuSiueTeu, HOW uu-
grateful, how absolutely selfish and mean
is the desertion of this "big organ" from
! the regular party nomineel After week s
| deliberation, and after being thoroughly
convinced that the current in East Ten
nessee was against Chesthanl, it deserts its
old friends, and now says "the nomina-
ton of Gen. Cheatham was an egregious
"blunder and we.are in no aOise RESPONSE
"GLe for IT," 1t makes this statement
full well knowing that one of its
proprietors and editors was aSecretdry ofthe

| important committees of that Convention.
and actively participating in all its DELHI
erations. Why, if Cheatham's nomina-
ton was al egregiOus bLunder" did not
the big organs" editor so announce in
the Convention? Why is it, that if Cheat
| hams nomination was " effected without
regard to the common welfare of the pur.
"y throughout the State the representa-
state in the Convention, and why was the
big organ q full s0eek in finding that
fact out9
These are facts so inconsistent with the
present position of the organ that they
must excite general attention and COM
ment. These facts show very plainly that
the "big organs" desertion of its party is
not from any regard for principle, not
from any desire to promote the interests Of
the people or the State, but solely to be on
| the strong side in this locality. We regret
to make these disclosures. We have d
deep sympathy with all the Organs" in
their present embarrassing position, bu
such an open, shameful betrayal of friend.

Truly the tribulations of organs in Ten
nessee is distressing

CROSSING THE RUBIcoN.

The Union and American though it has
had Cheatham's name at its mast head, has
not heretofore opposed Johnson. 1t is not
known generally, perhaps, that the Ex-
President has quite large sum of money
loaned or invested or in some way in use
in the Union and american concern. Per-
haps its editor was embarrassed by that re-
lation between the candidate and the paper
Whether that has been now arranged or
not we do not know, but that paper now is
on the war path against the Ex-President.
1t pretends to have made his Gallatin
speech the pretext. In that speech it says
he crossed the Rubicon." Up to last FRI
day it hoped to induce Andy to withdraw,
but Colyar's announcement for Governor,
which it seems to think part of the
Johnson movement, dispelled all such
hopes. In its Sunday issue it concludes an
editorial in which IL "crosses the Rubi-
con-" by these doleful warnings:
With our views of duty to principles
| and to party as the advocate of principle,
| we shall stand by the Democratic organi-
cation, its rules, customs, and usages, and
give to its nominee cordial hearty sup
port. Wei may be beaten, Radicalism may
triumph and again rule through our dis
sessions, but we shall still rally THE Old
Guard and contest every inch of grouud
in defence of the principles of Constitu'
! tional government and for the preservation
of that party which has so long and no.
bly, stood up against the assaults of Radi-
cal fanaticism. LET THE DEMOCRACY

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

American newspaper enterprise is be-
coming one of the wonders of thi
wonderful age. The achievements of the
leading New York papers during the late
European war, whereby the American peo-
pie were as quickly and as fully posted in
reference to important military movements
and results as those directly on the scene
of the impending conflict, were the
establishment and admiration of the
world. Recently, the New York
Herald has again astonished the world
by organizing an expedition, at its
own private expense, to ascertain the
whereabouts Of Livingstone, the great ex-
plorer of modern times. We have fresh
evidences of newspaper enterprise, of rather
a novel character. The Tribune for some
| time past has been making war on the
management of the Bloomingdale Insane.
| Asylum. Its charges were disputed and
| its statements of facts called in question.
| To ascertain how the institution was man
aged, the Tribune editors determined to
send a reporter, who should play the role
of detective, and learn from personal ex-
perience how the inmates are treated. In
| obedience to written instructions, the re-
porter went to the Grand Central Hotel
| registered his name, and feigned insanity,
with so much success, that he soon found
himself within 1.-THE coveted walls of the
| Asylum. There he met with something
| of an adventure, and took notes which
the managers OF the Asylum will probably
not care to see printed. But they have
been printed and prove that Bloomingdale
| Asylum is anything but Paradise. They
| will perhaps exercise q strict surveillance
| in the future, and be on the lookout for
| newspaper reporters.

THE LEGISLATIVE CANVASS.

The Democracy of the Representative
District composed of the counties of Grain
ger and Hamblen, met in convention at
Rutledge on Monday. for the purpose of
nominating candidate for the Lower
House in the next Legislature. There was
warm contest between Mr.. Ho dyes, OF
Hamblen county and Benz. Peck, of Grain
ger. The name of Hon. r. G. Samsell was
also proposed, but having voted in the last
Legislature against that political monstros-
sity known as the Congressional appor-
tionment bill, he lost caste with the party,
and received very small vote. After a
sharp and somewhat bitter contest, Peck
(ex-Reb.) obtained the nomination over
Mr.. Hodges, who is a Conservative Uionn
Democrat. Union Democrats say openly
that they will not vote for Peck. He will
certainly be defeated by A. S. Tate, Esq,
the Republican standard-bearer, whose
election is conceded by men of all parties
He is q young man of energy, integrity and
capacity, and will make that district Rep
resentative who will do honor to his con
stituency.

CHANCELLOR KEY FLICzERs.

We have private letter from Chatta-
nooga, written Sunday night, to the effect
that Chancellor d. NJ. Key has drawn of
from the Congressional race. We do not
know upon what grounds he bases this re-
markable action, but suppose he thinks "a
bird in hand is worth two in the bush. u
The muster roll of the late Confederate
army printed at the masthead of a Demo
cratic paper would about as faithfully pre-
sent the roll OF candidates for office in
Tennessee as anything we can think of,
1t may be that Key found the people
were sick of these Generals and Colonels
and therefore withdrew. Who will be the
victim now in the Third District? Who
stands next on the muster roll of the c,

THE New York Tribune labors hard to
prove that Senator Wilson was a Know
Nothing, for which reason the foreign
born American citizen should vote for
Greeley and 'Soft shell crabs Brown.
The great and good General Albert Pike
is writing certificates to bolster up what it
says. But foreigners have sense enough
to understand their own interests, and not
to be gulled by such clap-trap stuff as that
Greeley must have been something of a
Know Nothing as late as 1868, when he
said:
We do business in city governed by carpet
baggers only just over from Cork Limerick
and Sauer-Krautenthal The difference be-
tween our carpet-baggers from Europe and
those with which the rebellious Hamptons are
afflicted is that ours are generally as deficient
in mental and moral cultivation as in property.
We believe most of the Southern carpet bag
gers have at least made the acquaintance Of the

THE New York Herald has had corps
of correspondents travelling through sew
eral of the larger Northern States. From
their letters and from the general drift of
public sentiment, the Herald gives up
Greeley's case as growing desperate. In its
issue of the oath it says;
Whatever the causes it is apparent on all sides
that since the late North Carolina election, there
has been reaction in the tide of public opinion
on the Presidential question.
After referring to the apathy of the bour-
bon democrats for Greeley the unanimity
of the colored vote for Grant and the fail
ure of Schurz to carry the German vote to-
the coalition, it concludes:
In short, from the present outlook, the pros
poets from every point of view is growing some
what gloomy for Greeley, and unless in the re-
suits of the coming State elections he shall make
break in the apparently compact lines of the
administration party, the Philosopher of Chap
paqua as pilgrim for the White House, may
Lay down de shovel and de hoe
And hang up de fiddle and de bow.

WE have heard it intimated that Flem-
ing bolts the Irregular nominee" because,
his claims for Cheatham's position were
contemptuously ignored in the late con-
vention. He got SO votes while Cheatham
got $40. Having always been "whipper
in" for the party, his present attitude as a
bolter is best explained by the shabby way
he was treated. Thompson, of Wilson
county, assailed Fleming in the conven-
ton as an old Wing and not fit man for
Elector on the straight ticket All this
has probably made Fleming sore, and in
duced him to bolt and assist in overthrow
ing the party.

WE are satisfied from what we can learn
of the arrangements of the various School
Commissioners in Knox county, that the
public schools for the coming year will far
exceed in efficiency and attendance any
ever before opened in the county. Our city
schools are especially promising and will
be patronized by all classes. We hope that
every good citizen who appreciates the val
ue of general education, will encourage the
School Commissioners and in every way
in their power uphold our schools. We re-
gard it as one of the most encouraging
signs for the future, that our best citizens
are at last fully aroused to the Importance
and necessity of this great work. With
efficient schools our growth and prosperity
are fully assured.
