Held.
Special Despatch to TIE Chicago Tribune.
ISD1ASAPoL1s, Dec. 13.-Among the most in
portant measures that will be brought to ths
attention OF the Legislature, will be the calling
Of q Constitutional Convention. 1t is noR
twenty-one years since the present Constitution
Was adopted, and the changed condition o1
affairs, as we'll as therapid progress made by the
State, demands Constitution more in ACCORD
with the advance Of civilization. Among the
considerations that are urged why the Conven-
tion should be held are the following:
The thirteenth article OF the present Consti-
tuition prohibits negroes OF mulattos from COM
ing into Or settling in the State, and punishing
aEy person who shall employ such negro or nu'
latto, or otherwise encourage him to remain in
the State. This clause is dead letter, but it is
still in the Constitution, and is printed with il
every time that instrument is printed. -
The present Constitution does not permit the
passage Of q 1aw prescribing q term Of previous
residence in the county, township or precinct at
q prerequisite to the right to vote, nor allow
the passage Of q registry law that will afford any
protection against fraud and the manipulation OF
votes.
The Judicial system of Indiana has failed to
elicit the admiration Of the legal profession in
this or any other State, and Governor Baker in
his message, referring to this subject, says Il:
genuity to devise worse Judicial system than
that nnder which we now suffer- It needs re-
vision, but that cannot be done under the pres
ent Constitution. We also need an additional
Supreme Judge. The present Court is COM
posed Of four members all are elected at one
time and for the came term Of years, and always
succeed az the nominees Of 3 political party.
There should be at least five Judges, and only e

Of the St: Louis, Evansville, Henderson 4 Nash
vile Railroad, near the Louisville Railroad
depot, tell and was run over. His body was
moving at the rate Of fifteen to twenty miles Al
hour, and he was warned not to attempt to board

THE AuoIanche is making bitter war
fare against that peculiarly Democratic
feature in the new Constitution, which
DISTINGUISHES man who is SO unfortunate
as to not have money to pay his poll tax.
Here is a specimen paragraph;
Under The new Constitution of Tennessee two
facts render a man ineligible as a voter-having
served term in the penitentiary and being too
poor TO pay poll tax s- ~
And here another:
One of the beauties of the new ConstitG ton Of
Tennessee is its treatment of poverty as crime.
The man unable to pay poll tax of one dollar
j, deprived of the right to vote.
It is proper TO add that, by an act of
the Legislature, this odious relic of roy
atty does not go into effect until next jan
uary. A man can vote in the coming
elections regardless of whether he has
complied with that provision or not.

OUR WHEAT CROP.

We have from day to day presented in
the CHRONICLE facts from various coun-
ties of East Tennessee about the wheat
crop of the present season. They show be-
yond doubt that it is the most abundant
crop harvested for many years. The re-
suit is to infuse new life into every depart
ment of trade and inspire our people with
new hope for the future. East Tennessee
was most thoroughly drained of its pro-
ducts. The people were discouraged. The
effect of this plentiful harvest ought to in
cite our people to greater efforts in their
farming in the future. If we could have in
East Tennesseeas plentifula yield of wheat
every year as we have had this year we
would soon find our rich farmers multiply
ing, our towns and cities Furnishing and
our industries assuming grand proportions.
Can we not secure such a result by the
proper effort? 1888 eE8a8a5
Let us suggest that in every county
where it has not already been done, a
farmers club be organized. In such new
clubs and in those already existing let the
farmers of every county state their eXpe-
rience in this remarkably successful
season. If the yield has increased by
reason OF any particular effort at more
Il orough cultivation of the soil, or
through any special care of any kind
let the facts be known. Every farmer, let
US hope, has learned something new this
ar. He has, perhaps, made special eff
forts or experiments as to the seed sown,
t ne soil or the manner of oultivating the
crops. Let the results of his work be
N lde known to his neighbors. We have
ha good farmers within the last week
TIL us their theories of the remarkable
Y ED with which we have been blessed.
They have differed, but all have had val
liable facts to impart, If, in every cOun-
ty, they could meet together and from
the success of this year new hope and
new ideas be gathered for next year, we
know the whole country would profit
thereby. Let us in East Tennessee take
new courage from the present, and let our
farmers make up their mind that we shall
hereafter have no half worked farms, no
idle lands, 10 half crops az the result of
Incidence and want of skill, but that We
shall every year hereafter add to our
wealth ana begin the prosperous future so
long nredfcted for US

because of bearing the name of Henry
Wilson.
His antecedents, his whole course, in.
deed, have been much more in harmony
with the principles of the Republican par
ty than those of Gen. Grant; and when
Greeley faltered or was false to these prin-
ciples, thenWilson proved strong and true,
He is man that all parties can trust,
and do trust. They know that his hands
have never touched a bride, or dime Of
the nations coin; that in all his duties, he
has been alike honest and firm, maintain
ing his integrity and allegiance alike to
moral and political principles, let it cost
him what it might, the loss of friends or
the increased opposition of enemies
Should any circumstances place him in the
Executive Chair, the people would feel
perfect security concerning the admins
tration of the affairs of Government.
Rings and cliques of all parties would
not dare to approach him "under- false
pretences," for they know that he knows
them like book and while true to all
sections and all races and parties, giving to
all fair play and due protection we should
have no fear of any disloyalty to govern
ment, receiving entertainments for an hour,
nor that any mere political plea would
stand in the place of integrity rs a passport
to office.
The name of Gratz Brown is no pledge
of such assurance. Conceding all that is
claimed for him as to ability, there is moth
ing in his career to give him favor in the
minds of the people as man to
be trusted but on the contrary, as one to
be feared for his political chicanery and
political cunning, who would turn his
back upon the principles that have carried
us on to our present high position through
the last twelve years, and for the sake of
personal advantage, barter them to those
who entertained the political sentiments
that were the rallying cry of rebellion. /
1t is not to be admitted that the interests
of the country would be safe under the adj
ministration Of Horace Greeley; but if it
were so, as the past changes give us no as
surance ola continuance to the end of the
term, it becomes question of grave i'm
port, if we are willing to trust them to the
hands of Gratz Brown. 4W a

GRAFT BROWN AND HENRY WILSON.

Since the death of President Lincoln,
during his term of office, the position of
Vice President has assumed an Importance
far greater than was ever given to it be-
fore. Neither John Tyler nor Andrew
Johnson would, probably, have been
nominated to that office had the question
of their occupying the chair of the Execu-
tive been considered a possibility. HUI
man life is precarious. True, death may
come to one as readily as to another to
a Vice President or Chairman of the House
of Representatives as to President, but in
such cases the event, in its political aspects
much less momentous and the change of
relations more easily adjusted, not being,
as in the case of the death of the Presi-
dent, matter of fixed rule.
/ Conceding-in advance of the meeting of
the Baltimore Convention, which may
yet take the wind out of Greeley's sails by
the nomination of Charles Sumner-con-
ceding that Grant or Greeley is to be the
next President, the question is worthy of
grave consideration, who, in the event of
death or disability, is to take the
place for the remainder of the term
Many man who has followed Horace
Greeley, or stood by him in his onslaughts
on slavery, intemperance, free trade and
Democracy and determined to give him his
vote and whole political support i'll the ap-
preaching canvass, would hesitate and
perhaps change his course, if the ques-
ton were SHIFTED from Greeley or Grant
to Brown and Wilson.
Every one will admit that the name of
Gratz Brown carries no strength to the
Cincinnati ticket. 1t is much as Mast
suggests, a mere appendage to that of
Greeley. 1t will be as readily admitted
that it is not so in relation to the ticket of
the Philadelphia Convention. Strong as
Grant is-strong enough to command a
lar re vote of the Republican party-yet we
all know that the ticket is all the stronger
