Tn Dem s~rstic Congressman Elected from
Indiana!
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-09-20

Under the recent apportionment fixing
the representation in the Lower Branch OF
the Legislature, Knox and Anderson
counties are entitled to Floater, or joint
Representative. We presume the reclp-
rocal policy heretofore observed between
Knox and Sewer will prevail with Knox
and Anderson, that is, to elect the Repre-
sentative from the counties alternately.
We believe it is pretty generally under
stood that Judge Houk will be the candi-
date from Knox this year. Many of our
most thoughtful men have expressed de-
sire to see him in the Legislature, and he
having lived for many years and until re-
Gently in Anderson, We have no doubt his
candidacy would be satisfactory to that
county as well as Knox. While not dis
posed to scramble for it, he is willing to ac-
cept the position.

ATTEMPTING ANOTHER DIVERSION

There is nothing equal to the unblush-
ingideep-seated hypocricy of Democratic
politician, who labors for the benefit of q
corrupt ring of capitalists, whose chief
business is to accumulate wealth by de-
frauding the State and swindling tax pay
ers. So long as the eyes of honest people
are turned in another direction, these
rings will stand with grasping hands in
the public treasury, and will carry on
their system of plumber and robbery with
perfect impunity. As long as they can
take the one-hundredth part Of what they
steal and substitute q corrupt press to man
ufacture public opinion in their favor, and
thus keep down suspicion, they regard it
as paying transaction. If by dispensing
few thousand dollars among their organs,
they can keep down investigation into a
swindle that amounts to ten millions, they
will certainly do so. The only question
they will ask is, how it is to be done
If any one will take the trouble to read
one ofthe "ring' organs in this State, for
instance the "big organ" of this city, it
Will be seen how it expects to accomplish
this and create diversion from the acts of
its masters. Although we have time and
again alluded to the fact that railroads
which cost the State nearly seventeen
millions have been disposed of for
a little more than sic millions. in
volving loss to the State of more than
ten and q hdJ millions, the "big organn
hasnot deigned to notice it, but raved day
after day, through columns of stuff, about
impeachment and other dead issues, in
which the people have no present interest.
Yesterday morning it devotes more than a
column to show that Horace Maynard was
once engaged in a plot to overthrow Gov.
Senter and the State government. What
interest do the people of Tennessee have
in this question now? No one expects "re-
construction one favors it-no one en-

THE GUBERNAToRIAL CANVASS.

Our Nashville exchanges of Wednesday
morning give full accounts of the opening
of the Gubernatorial canvas at Lebanon
on the previous day, by the three candi-
dates, Gov. Brown, Col. Colyar and Mr..
Freeman. Gov. Browns speech was as
usual full of glittering generalities. Among
other things he stated that our State debt
is increasing at the rate of nearly 81 ,2O0,-
900. Tax payers will make note of this,
and will ask the question in their own
minds, why this rapid increase in the State
debt, when we are enjoying profound
peace,
He touches the railroad question very
gingerly. He dwells on the amount of aid
granted or loaned to the Mineral Home
the Knoxville and Charleston and the
Cumberland Gap roads, but according to
the report of his organ, the Union and
american, he says not word about the
Nashville and Northwestern, the Edge
field and Kentucky, the McMinnVille and
Manchester roads, which were sold at such
a heavy loss to the State. He goes into a
defense of the policy pursued by his adj
ministration in reference to the penitentia-
ry, and gives history of the transactions
following this present lease. On the basis
of past transactions, he figures up clear
profit to the State of S7S5, 900 in five years,
all of which sounds very well.
We trust he may find an opportunity
before the canvass is over, to tell the peo-
pie in detail how delinquent railroads were
disposed of at a loss of more than ten mil
lions of dollars.

THE Chattanooga Times is dreadfully
alarmed, lest the Cincinnati Southern rail-
road should be located through Knoxville
to Chattanooga. An outline of the various
routes is given and the editor closes as fol-
lows: o- 9is1 -"ofi .aH rf"
This brings us to this end, and hero we pur-
posely make short work. 1t is Knoxville and
the counties north of her, and Chattanooga and
the counties north of her. 1t is to be no child's
play. On this point we give our capitalists fair
warning. It is true the road has to come to
Chattanooga, a'sLeSs the charter can be amended

Chattanooga is to come to Chattanooga fune-
raj Look at the map at Knoxville, and run
your eye from thence to and through the cotton

1t is the interest of the great city of Cincin-

Lexington, for the road to come through on on,

millions.of money to accomplish that object

| tertains any fears that it will be done. No
one is disfranchised-no one favors the
Acknowledgement of any class, unless per-
haps some Democrats are yet unreconcil-
ed to colored suffrage. No one but a lunatic
recognizes that such thing is possible or
probable. It is to all intents and purposes
dead issue. Why, then, engage in its dis
cussion? What is to be accomplished by
| it? Who is to be benefited by it?
The whole thing is a mere sham and the
question is seized upon for the purpose of
agitating the public mind on a subject of
no present public interest, with view of
hiding the iniquities of the rings controlling
our State Government. These same hypo7
critics, in supporting Horace Greeley,
write lengthy editorials, full of soft
ana plausible phrases about letting the
dead past bury its dead" and about for
getting "dead issues" while their whole
time is taken up in an effort to cover up
living issues, and to conceal from the peo-
pie the acts of those who are and have been
plundering the public treasury, with the
sanction and by the assistance of our State
rulers. d.,
These are serious matters, and are worthy
of the attention of our best and wisest men,
as well as the masses in general. Our
material interests have suffered as the re-
suit of mismanagement and corruption
and unless a change is made, will continue
to suffer. If the people will not protect
themselves from the rapacity of the plum
dering ring that has depleted the treas.
ury and well nigh bankrupted our
public credit, no one can tell
what the end will be. We call upon
them to consider their own interest
before it is too late. Be not diverted from
accomplishing your purposes of reform,
by the siren song or honied words of the
political stump speaker, or by the mali
cious rawlings of paid organs, whose bust
ness is to serve the rings, but resolve to
think and investigate for yourselves, and
act according to the dictates of reason and
patriotism. Then all will be WELL
