A POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE NEEDED.

The Press and Herald is raking up the
dead bodies of the murdered Hensie
the Harmons, and Haun to frighten Isham
@. Harris from his meditated tour through
East Tennessee in behalf of Cheatham.
With suspicious zeal, the Johnson organ
of this city isnow striving to array against
Cheatham's friends the prejudices of the
Conservative Union men. 1t strives to
awaken for Johnson, sympathy OH the
ground of his Union record. We can not
quite understand the consistency of such a
course. The Johnson organ has not
lately enjoyed new revelations as to the
history of Isham G.. Harris. 1t has had
former illustrations of the proscriptive and
intolerant spirit of the Confederate wing
of the Democracy, and it is too late for it
now to assume the role of martyr. For two
full Years at least, the Conservative Union
men of Tennessee have felt the force of
the disabilities" imposed upon them by
their party, for their loyalty to the Union.
For two full years, in local elections and
State conventions, the Nelson's, BaXters,
Gauts, Williams ct. a., have had to bear
the odium cast upon them, because of their
loyalty, by the rebel element of their par
~ tlS L TCoo anu LICTUtJ HIS Ueen cog
infant of this proscription-must have
felt its injustice-andy yet its fraternal rela-
tions with the authors of that ostracisnr
has never before been disturbed. Andrew
Johnson bolstered these men up in Ten
nessee until they struck him, and it is now
too late for him and his organs to display
their sores before the public in the hope of
awakening sympathy.
There is no halfway measure that can
relieve the State from the intolerance and
Chinese policy that has cursed it. The
Johnson revolt is selfish one. 1t is made
in the interest of Johnson, who is after
office. Let the people apply the knife to
the root of the disease. Let both factions
receive merited rebuke. Let the mean
ness of the Cheatham wing and the cow
ardice ofthe Johnson faction both be rebuk-
ed. Let Tennessee be placed above the
reach of party that has weighed down the
State by a narrow, selfish, half civilized
policy.
The election of Maynard and Thorn
burgh would do more to awaken this par
ty to sense of heirunworthiness than any
thing that could be done. Let them have
an earthquake in the political world and
it will sober them to Il sense of their short
comings and lost opportunities.

MAYNARD's CHANCES

We are relieved from the necessity OF
canvassing NIaynard's chances for cleo
ton to Congress from the State at Large,
because the Johnson and Cheatham organs
are fully discussing the question. The
following, from the Nashville Union and
american, ought to be encouraging to
Maynard's friends:
The Banner says Maynard cannot pos
sibly receive $4,000 votes ~ but the State
census reports 60, 945 negro voters, with six
counties omitted, to which we must add
%, 719 votes for Wisener in East Tennessee,
mainly white, besides the white Radicals
of the Middle and Western Districts.
Democrats, let not the siren lull us to sleep
with the belief that we can divide any
thing like even on Chatham and John
son and succeed.
We have not INDUCED much in 6rdJ as
that is not the habit of the CHRONICLE,
but we say to Republicans that, if they
will work and work especially on election
day, both the Cheatham and johnson
men, after the 5th proXimo, will have a
much higher appreciation of the "radical
vote" in Tennessee than they seem to
have now.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

When the delinquent railroads were sold
by the State, an effort was made to have
the Chancery Court at Nashville, in which
the proceedings for sale were instituted,
incorporate in the decree of sale, clause
saving to the railroad companies right of
action against defaulting officers for such
sums as they might be hereafter shown to
have misapplied. The reserving clause
was not made as broad as it might have
been and eminent lawyers differed as to its
legal effect. Its Importance to the roads
was great If the funds of the company
were stolen, squandered or misused, the.
offending officer deserved punishment.
The interest of stockholders and of good
morals demanded it.
The Supreme Court yesterday decid-
ed in a case against an officer Of
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston road, charged with Delinquent
cies that the right of the company to hold
him to account for this did not pass from
it, by the sale made by the State. This is
an important point decided and worthy of
notice.

SAVING IN THE PUBLIC PRINTING

. During the session of the last Legisla-
ture the people heard great deal about
the Public Printing" but, as discussion
on the subject has ceased, many persons
have been disposed to conclude that the
fraud complained of still continues. AL
though Senator GibsOn's bill, to have all
the public printing let out to the lowest
bidder, failed to become a law, still through
his unceasing efforts, an act was finally
passed "tO regulate the public printing
and to prevent over-charging for composi-
ton, tokens and paper.n Under this act
many of the old printing frauds are pre-
vented, and thousands of dollars saved to
the tax payers.
But the matter to which we more par
ticularly desire to call attention is the
practical operation of Senator Gibson's
amendment to the law in reference to
publishing the Supreme Court reports. At
the close of the last session he succeeded in
lacking on an amendment appointing the
Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Treas
urer, board to let out the Supreme Court
reports to the lowest bidder. Under this
law the board has recently let out the pub
iication of these reports (4th HeiskelD to
Wheeler, Marshall d Bruce, at S2.75 per
volume. When ii is recollected that the
publication of these reports has heretofore
cost the State about 5000 per volume, the
enormous profits heretofore made by the
Iublic Printers, becomes g!aringly appa-
rent. If the Democratic Legislature had
passed the original bill as introduced, a
similar reduction could be made in all the
public printing, and at least ten thousand
dollars saved to the Taxpayers annually,
As 1t is, the saving to the lawyers is very
cons derable.
The Nashville papers (who do the pub
lie printing! have not deigned To notice
the contract made with Wheeler, Marshall
Bruce, not being willing to let their
readers know to what extent they. the
public printers, have been overchargiDg
the burdened tax payers. This great saw
ing is one of the results of Col. John BaX-
ter,s ventilation of the printing frauds (;
aud to him is due the credit of discover
ing the fraud and to Senator Gibson is
due the credit Of devising the remedy.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

We offer elsewhere some magnificent
premiums for the largest and second largest
club of subscribers to the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE. This is a good chance for
our friends to aid us in circulating the
CHRONICLE, and at the same time, to pay
themselves H6crdlLy for their work. Every
family ought to have good sewing ma
chine and every farmer wants a superior
pillow. Our agents can earn three dollars a
day i'll canvassing for subscribers for these
very liberal premiums.
The CHRONICLE ought to be in every
household in Tennessee. We want to give
our friends inducements to help us put it
there. Will they not take hold and help
us?

THE great work of legislation in Con-
gress is done in the committee room.
Members take position on committees ac-
cording to their experience in legislation
and their ability. An old member always
stands high OH the leading committees,
and by reason of that position and of his
familiarity with parliamentary rules, has
influence in framing laws and securing
for his constituents such aid as their merits
demand. No man in Tennessee could
have such an influence in the next Con-
gress as Horace Maynard. We do not de-
ny Mr.. Johnsous ability or experience,
but every sensible man knows that
by disposition and policy he is
aggressive and turbulent, He would
not be content to serve in Congress
as most men would. He has "my policy"
and his record to defend. He would be as
much disturbing element in Congress as
the Dunningtons, and Harrises are in the
Tennessee canvass. If Tennessee wants to
send growing old bear to Washington ;
if she wants to make "Rome howlr by be-
ing represented by a man whose only aim
WILDE to foment trouble, let her send John
son. But if she wants to show that the
professional politicians who are now stir
ring up the worst passions of the people,
do not represent her voters, let her repudi-
ate the men who are infamng her pas
sions 10y sending to Washington q
statesman and a, gentleman who
show her people to be in full sympathy
with the rising tide of patriotism that is
sweeping into power, for another four
years, Republican President and Con-
gress. Mr.. Maynard, in his speeches, has
alone been conciliatOry and practical
While Johnson and Cheatham have LASH
ed their partisans into a frenzy of hate
and rage, Maynard has fairly and honora-
bly, discussed the ISIS ues OF the canvass
and everywhere gratified his friends and
confounded his enemies, by sincere and
earnest appeals for n better political feel
ing i'll Tennessee. This is u fact worth
considering. The men who are raking up
the dead of the war are Johnson and
Cheatham and their friends. Maynard's
election, therefore, would be IA better guar
antee OF more rational aud sensible era
in our future political canvasses than the
election of either of his competitors.
What we have said of Mr.. Maynard is
applicable to the case of Col. Thornburgh.
Caldwell was nominated, and is relying
for his election on his rebel record
Thornburgh asks for the support of the
people, because he has been faithful, i'm
partial officer, who could serve them to
advantage in Washington. He is not the
nominee of a convention, but is the candi-
date of the workingmen-the people. He
does not rake up war issues and bad pas
sions to enlist support. He relies on his
merits and on his ability to serve his con-
stituents. A vote for him is a tribute to q
faithful public servant and rebuke to the
agitatOrs, rings and politicians, who rely
OH prejudice and passion for their support

can principles will spend part of this week

Maynard has nobly upheld and defended

and work for Maynard, Thornhurgh and

has talked good sense to the people and be-

AMONG the Conservative Union men of
the State who have felt the iron heel of
rebel prescription Col. Garrett lisa conspic-
uous example. He has been charged with
being bolter and yet his proposition to
Caldwell to count votes at their meetings
and then for the weakest man to draw off
was perfectly fair. Garrett is the Johnson
candidate and Caldwell the Cheatham
candidate. Garrett was a Union soldier
and hat's what the Democracy don't
like.

THE joint canvass of the candidates for
Congress, at Large, ended on Monday at
Bolivar.
Hon. Horace Maynard spoke at Mem
phis on Friday. His appointments in
Middle and West Tennessee extend until
about the I'd Of November. We make this
statement in reply to numerous requests
received from all parts of East Tennessee,
asking for speeches from him. The
Republicans of East Tennessee can not
have the pleasure of hearing him speak
before the election, but one and all can go
to work and give him a full vote on the 5th
proX. He has borne aloft our standard
right nobly, and we trust he will see in the
returns of the election that his services
have been appreciated.

DEMOCRATIC rrNANC1ERrEe.

We have alluded on more than one occa-
sion to Democratic financiering in Ten
nessee. We have shown how the State
has lost millions through the laundering
incapacity of Democratic leaders and the
villainous corruption of rings. We have
exposed the penitentiary lease, and neither
Gov. Brown nor any of his confederates
or admirers, have ever dared to deny that
it was made oCithoW giving public notice,
or that it was leased for q less sum than
had been offered by responsible
parties. Another important feature
in Democratic financering in Ten
nessee, consists in collecting high
taxes without reducing the State debt.
Our State taxes have been as high under n
Democratic administration as under Re-
publican administration. Under Repub-
lican administration, the best system of
free schools was inaugurated, that we have
ever had in the State. Now the State
pays nothing for free schools. And yet in
three years of Democratic rule, not
single dollar of all the taxes
collected has been applied to the
payment of the State debt or the interest
thereon. On the contrary, according to
Gov. Browns own statement, our debt is
increasing at the rate of ono million t1UO
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
The tax payers of Tennessee will begin
soon to realize some of the beauties of
Democratic financiering.

A PRIVATE letter from Cookeville speaks
of the Congressional canvass there and says
that Col. Jno. H. Savage has list of APP
pointmen;s in the interest of "organiza-
tion," the object being to drive Democrats
into the support of Caldwell and Cheat
ham. A johnson or Garrett Democrat
is regarded as something of monstrosity
by that distinguished Democratic high
priest. We infer that Caldwell has given
the Cheathamites over there to understand
that he is one of 'em. How will this suit
the J0hnsonites over here?

DAVID RICHARDS.

The name of David Richards is %
SYNONYM for all that is noble and generous
in human nature. No man that knows
him will dare to question his honesty,
either personally or politically. His word
is as good as his bond. He would spurn to
do mean thing, and under no circum-
stances would he be party to corrupt
act. He has the courage to denounce what
is wrong wherever and in whomsoever it
may be found. He is just such man as.
the people of this Senatorial district want
to represent them in the Legislature. He
is a decided, unflinching, .uncompromis-
ing Republican in principle, but in no in
stance would he become party to a cor
rupt trick, because it would result in tenn
porary advantage to the political party
with which he is connected.
To his liberality and moderation, the re-
suit of his generous nature, may be added
his progressiveness. He is actively identi-
fled with every measure calculated to ele-
vate and stimulate the people to work for
their own good.
He is willing to serve us in the Senate
He has not sought the office, but the office
seeks him. We call upon the people of the
district to elect him, and thereby secure
the services of one who is not tcian
in any sense of the word but who is capa-
BILE, honest, vigilant, active, brave, and
true. He should be elected by the unani-
nous voice of the people. Men of all
parties can support him. Democrats may
vote for him without doing violence to
their feelings, knowing him to be honest
in all he does. Republicans may vote for
him, knowing that he is faithful and true.
All may vote for him, because he desires
nothing so much as his country's good.

COUNTING CHICKENS BEFORE HArcH1Ne

A gentleman just from Nashville, who
visited the Cheatham and Johnson head
quarters, says that the Cheatham men
claim that. the following will be the vote
of this State:
Cheatham, $4,000.
Maynard, $4,000.
johnson, $4,000.
AT the johnson headquarters, the fol
lowing is set down as the probable vote:
Johnson 81 1000.
Maynard, 1850.
Cheatham, $3.50.
Both committees are engaged in the
questionable undertaking of counting
chickens before they are hatched."
Gov, Brown thinks the vote will be
$4,000. The Democrats give Maynard
$1,000. We claim for him at the lowest,
10000. This would leave los, 900 to divide
between johnson and Cheatham. One of
them must beat the other $4,000. They
can't do it. Republicans, now is our time
to elect Maynard.
