EAST TENNESSEE.

We are glad to say that Thursdays cleo
ton shows very decided Republican gains
in nearly every county in East Tennessee.
In some counties the majorities are very
large, and show that our friends are united
and in fine spirits. In every county these
gains can be increased in November. Gen.
Grant is stronger than his party, and we
hope Republicans will in every county
where it has not already been done organ
ize Grant and Wilson clubs. Tennessee
Democracy and the shameless Greeley CO.
alition must be pointedly repudiated. We
will be thankful to friends to send us
promptly the official returns from every
county, and hope efforts will promptly be
made to effect thorough organization in
every county.

How About the COlOred PeOple!

MEssRs. EDITORS: In the Press and
Herald of to-day appeared an article I'M
der the caption, "Can the purity or the
ballot box be preserved ?'' over the assunl-
ed name of /" Justice.p ~.
The writer of the article in question, we
should Judge, must have been one OF the
passengers up "Salt river" from the gen.
eral tone of disappointment and falsehood
which were the principle elements of his
slanderous communication. After stating
that the majority received in this county
by the Republican ticket was illegally Oh
tanned, admitting, however, that '' the
tickets counted and reported were in the
boxes" and then he directly charges the
managers of the election of acting dis
honestly. And he further says: Under
our loose system, the practice of repeating
is very easy one; to vote clolored man
half dozen times is no very difficult
work. y
Why, sir, is it that you charge that the
colored mans vote can be repeated "half
dozen times 81 Have not our race as
much stability as any class of people in
this community? Have we not proved
this to be true in. the election of Thurs
day by voting the Republican straight
ticket?" What "Justice y desires, as
every man of color can plainly see, is to
have the colored voter DISTINGUISHED. Oh,
we Democratic legislators, for the special
benefit of +" Justice do consider his ap-
peal q and pass some LdtO, even if it is to
return back to the old Democratic policy
Ito disfranchise the negro, so that the

umphant in the next election for county

GRAFT BROWN.

The New Haven Palladium gives the
proof sustaining the charges of drunken
ness against Gratz Brown, the reform
candidate for the Vice Presidency, while
at New Haven. His maudlin speech was
proof enough, but as the statement was
disputed the proof has been made public
In referring to it the Springfield Mass.
Republican, a supporter of Brown, says:
The charge is repeated with such. particular
and has such possibilities in the well-knowr
weakness of Mr. Browns constitution, that W.
think the burden of proof is changed by thi
evidence to the defence. Mr. Browns friend
ought, therefore, without delay, meet this ques
ton, either by evidence of the untruthfulness 0
the charge. or a frank confession of the just pen
atty of it, in withdrawing him from the higl
candidacy which he occupies before the Amer
lean people. ......

THE HERALD AND LIVINGSTONE

A fow days ago the CHRONICLE suggest
ed that the Livingstone letters to James
Gorden Bennett, Jr., were not genuine 1t
seemed to us thatupon their very face they
bore badges of fraud We suggested that
the spirit and matter of the letters were
not such as might be expected from the
scholar and explorer. Our dispatches pub
lished this morning from Europe say that
eminent geographers have discovered alb
surd geographical errors in the letters and
the conviction is now rapidly gaining
ground that Stanley never even found
Livingstone. The London Geographical
Association has not heard a word from
him and it is thought strange that if
alive and well he would not write to
some of his English friends in way to
put the question of his safety beyond all
doubt.
On the point suggested by the CHRoNI-
Gle, the Baltimore american SAYS:
If the letters purportiDg to have been adj
dressed to James Gordon Bennett, Jr. bv DR.
Livingstone had been omitted, some credulous
souls might have believed the story; but when
the great explorer was made to appear as the
autnor OF such uFlVeiilES nonsense, every one
who has read his delightful book of travels re-
bells at the mere suggestion. If DR.. Livingstone
isalive and wrote thetwo letters which have ap-
peared in the Herald over his signature, he has
become a wretched old idiot in whose fate the
people of the civilized world will cease to take
the least interest.
If it should prove that this whole expe-
dition was fraud, it will serve even more
than the reported discovery to advertise
Bennett and the Herald AS this is prob
ably all he desired, his ambition will be
fully satisfied.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-08-04

WE supposed that after Thursdays vote
the next move of the Knoxville clique
would be to disfranchise Knox county
voters, or set the county apart as a sepa-
rate organization unworthy of the bless
ings of Nashville rule. The editors of the
Greeley organ havn't quite courage enough
to charge upon the various election Off
GERS in the county, frauds in Thursdays
vote, so they procure anonymous cores
pondents to do it for them. After two
days reflection it has occurred to the mis-
cradle ring that have tried to rule this
county, to break the force of their defeat
by charging frauds and assailing the color
ed vote as guilty of repeating and as ready
for any corrupt bargains. The Greeley organ
treats them as so many voters in the mar
ket for the highest price. Years ago it
cried out in holy horror against registry
lars, now it actually proposes them as an
indirect way to control by Intimidation
and otherwise the colored vote. But this
policy is not unexpected. Three or four
times since the Democracy were restored
to power have they insultingly and def
antly frustrated the will of the people of
this county. The clique that assumes to
run Knox county have secured more than
once outrageous, corrupt and unconstitu-
tiOnal legislation at Nashville and we are
not surprised that after their singing re-
Duke at the ballot box they again look
there for relief. Let them do their worst.
The people will remember them.
