disposition was shown to evade any ques-
ton upon which it was necessary to speak
1t is good platform, broad enough for us
all to stand upon. It is based upon justice
and right, and can not be shaken from its
firm foundation. We invite attention to
it. We invite every voter to procure a
copy of it as soon as possible and read
it for himself Don't make up your
minds to oppose it until you
see what it is. If there is merit in it
as we claim, lay aside your prejudices and
give credit for it. 1t is full of wisdom
and craftsmanship, and if it is adopted by
the people and the principles faithfully
carried out, it cannot fail to be productive
of great good. The Convention has per-
formed its work well, but i'll nothing else
hasit done better than in the selection and
adoption of a platform of principles, rep
resenting the sentiments of Republican
voters.

ONE of the questions which seems to
take precedence in the Gubernatorial CAM
paign in North Carolina, is the misappro-
priation and fraudulent disposition of
funds appropriated by the State in the
past for the construction of railroads.
George w. Swepson received and defraud-
ed the State out of large sum of money,
and now each party holds the other res
pOnsible for the fraud committed by
Swepson. We do not pretend to say where
the guilt lies. Men in both parties are
no doubt responsible in some degree, but
SwepsOn himself was an original seces-
sionist and is not supposed to have much
sympathy with Republicanism.
The railroad question will be one of some
magnitude in Tennessee politics at no dis
tant day, and when the facts are brought
TO light it will be seen that Tennessee has
lost hundreds of thousands, which has
gone into the pockets of private individ-
uaIs and wealthy corporations. When
the people once understand that they have
been paying out their money, seventy
thousand at a time, to compromise dam
age suits brought against railroad for the
murder Of men and women who CHANGED
to be passing over it, they will want to
understand where the responsibility rests.

OUR PLATFORM.

In the adoption of the platform at Phil
adelphia, the convention acted with much
wisdom. As yet we have received only a
synopsis, but enough is know to warrant
us in saying that it expresses the senti-
ment of very large majority of the votes
in this country. We will take pleasure in
laying it before the readers of the CHRON-
ICLE in our next issue. 1t treats of such
topics as are of interest to the country, and
speaks out upon them in no uncertain
tone. Upon the question of enforcing the
laws, developing the country's re-
sources, encouraging and promot-
ing immigration, collecting the
revenues, reducing the National debt,
resuming specie payments, maintaining
peace with foreign nations, reforming the
civil service, the policy of public land
grants, the regulation of the tariff with a
view to protecting home industry, and Sc
curing proper remuneration for labor, it
speaks out plainly and unreservedly. No

WILSON'S HONESTY.

No one questions the honesty of Senator
Henry Wilson. He has been in the United
States Senate since 1855, and yet his taxa
bic property is assessed at only five thou
sand dollars. He might have been wealthy,
but he never took dollar that he could
not take honestly. Besides this, he is one
of the most benevolent men in the cOun-
try. He gives away more for benevolent
purposes than any man of his means.
He never allows an opportunity for doing
a kind and benevolent action to pass I'M
improved. His universal popularity may
be attributed to this noble trait in his
character, coupled with his ability and
craftsmanship.

Gov. HOFFMAN affects to regard with
Indifference the charges made against
him by the Times in connection with the
Tammany frauds, That is about the way
other members of the ring regarded their
exposure when it first appeared, but it has
become a more serious matter than they
had anticipated The Governor may find
it the same way. He unquestionably
thinks he has covered his tracks but they
may be discovered by the sharp sighted
editor of the Times.

The silly talk about carpet-baggers'
comes with bad grace from any man of
sense. But when a fellow who never
owned foot of soil i'll the State in his
own right, talks about one who has lived
here for more than thirty years as a carpet
Dagger, OF as temporarily domiciled i'll
our city," it is certainly very ridiculous.
A fellow that never pays any tax except a
poll tax, and is in the habit of not paying
that until he is sued for it, is certainly the
last man to talk about gratis of our Sc
lected citizenship" 1t is just what might
be expected from one who cannot look all
honest man in the face without an idiotic
grin and who truckles to and fawns upon a
set Of men who hold him in utter con-
tempt, having 10 other use for him than
TO make him the tool for the accomplish
ment of such ends as are too filthy for
them to undertake personally.

DEBATES IN THE SENATE.

SATURDAY, January q, 1872.
Personal EXPLANATION OF SENATOR AN
DERSON.
Mr.. Anderson-I see the National Republic
can makes an attack upon me this morning
in relation to certain certificates of indebt-
edness which were paid last year. desire
to say that they were on the market just
like any other certificates, and open to pur-
chase by any person. They were not issued
for any illegal purpose, as far as l am
aware. The bill providing for their pay
ment passed the House Of Representatives,
but was defeated in the Senate by two or
three votes. The certificates were exam
ined, found correct and Endorsed by the
Auditor of Public Accounts. They were is
sued in 1866 by the then Auditor, and ap-
proved by Governor Wells. That paper
also makes charge against Governor War
moth and Mr.. Gaines. Neither of those
gentlemen knew anything of the transac-
ton. portion of these certificates were
left at the Auditors office for one day, and
about ten days afterwarG the balance were
left there for examination. l hope the SEN
ate will refer the matter to the Finance
Committee, with instructions to investigate
it thoroughly and report thereon.
Mr.. Campbell moved to refer the matter
to the Finance Committee for investigation.
Mr.. Ray-lf am not mistaken, there is a
resolution now before the Senate providing
for the investigation Of this same subject
The motion of Senator Campbell is, there
fore, out of order.
The President thought the motion was in
order.
Mr.. Coupland-Can the Senator (Mr. An
dersOn) take advantage of personal ex-
PLANTATION to make motion which would
otherwise be out of order!
The PRESIDENT think he can.
Mr.. Sypher-It is a bad sign when Sen
ator asks that matter in which he is per-
sonally interested shall be referred to him
SELF 1 would like to have a select commit
tee appointed composed of Senators who
are not interested in the result. That
would certainly look better than to refer it
to the Finance Committee, of which the
Senator (Mr. Anderson) is member.
Mr.. AndersOn-It is true am a member
of the Finance Committee, but of course,
l should not serve in that capacity in the
investigation of this matter.
Mr.. Ingraham-I desire to call up the
resolution offered the other day as a sub
stitute for the motion of Senator Campbell.
Mr. McMillen said it was out of order.
The Chair thought it was in order.
Mr. lngraham-l was somewhat surprised,

Mr.. Lynch submitted the following re-
Dort upon the following resolution:

ulent representations, thereby causing great
loss to the State, and also to innocent hold
ars; therefore, be it
ResoIrsd. That committee of three be
appointed by the Chair to examine, and, if
found to be correct, indorse across the face
Of the voucher the signature OF the chair
man Of the committee.
The Committee on Finance report the fol-
lowing as a substitute for the foregoing pre-
amble and resolution:
ResOlred, That the Judiciary Committee
are hereby instructed to examine all out
standing vouchers issued for expenses OF the
Senate during its last session, and report to
the Senate at an early day upon the legality
or llegality Of all such vouchers issued.
