and promises to increase, as it certainly should
if the Germans of Knoxville do their duty.
Knoxville has so long been without German
church and school that the German element
have become accustomed TO send their children
to other churches and schools, but they will
freely return to the support of their own institu-
tions. Mr.. Heckel is without doubt fully
competent man, and as far as we hear gives gen
eral satisfaction.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

It was noted few days ago that strong
reason for Gen. Howard getting out of the
Freedmen's Bureau was, that 100000
would be required 20 wind up that institu-
ton. Perhaps there were other and
stronger reasons. The Washington CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes
under date of April IL as follows:
"The vote of the House Committee on
Appropriations calling on the Secretary Of
War for information as to the items which
made up the estimate for 100000 asked for
to close up the Freedmen's Bureau has de-
yeloped a questionable condition Of affairs
at tue Freedmen's Hospital. An attempt
to produce the vouchers for the expendi-
lures Of this institution failed, and the facts
came out that a portion of the funds paid
to the hospital had been passed over TO
Howard University, now private inStitu-
ton, and its trustees have been considering
the necessity of paying back some Of these
moneys in order to enable the hospital to
make an honest showing. The amount
appropriated for this hospital last year was
$4,000.
A thorough investigation would no doubt
develop many curious, not to say startling
transactions covered up by the bureau.
The piety which run that institution ap-
pears not to have been above suspicion at
least. The people have right 10 know to
what purpose the immense sums appropria-
ted to the bureau were applied. 1t is quite
clear that the nations wards" were not
alone the benefciaries of this great outlay.
We have here an evidence of this fact. How
many more such cases there are it would be
hard TO tell.

There are a class Of papers that are never
so happy as when making a mean and
venomoUs fling at ex-President johnson.
The indianapolis journal (RadicaD has
been INDUCING in this sort of pastime. It
says:
"That chronic North American nuisance,
Andy johnson, Esq, comes to the surface
again for candidate for Congress his rural
district down South. The melancholy
spectacle of an ex-President scrambling for
a small office has never before been wit
messed in this country
The Cincinnati Commercial, (Liberal
Republican, gives the Journal a ''settler."
1t says: "John Quincy Adams was mem
Der of the House of Representatives after
be was President, and performed in that
small Office valuable public service. We
are not aware that Adams scrambled for
the place, but we presume he allowed the
use of his name by his friends. As to the
serambling that Andy is alleged to be doing,
Is the Journal quite sure Of it? Willard FIJI
more after having been President, consent
ed to be a third party candidate for that
high Office. Grant is President, and is
scrambHng for a second term. Andy john
son is a man in the full vigor Of life, who
has had remarkable experience, and is ca
pable of profting by it. Why should he
consent to regard himself as wooden i'm
ace? Is it because he has held the office of
President of the United States? The rea-
son is insufficient"

THE FIRST ONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRECT

AhASAs
Col. Geo. r. Mcclellan, and Vim. D.
Haynes, Esq, both of Sullivan county, an
nounce themselves in the Bristol Courier
as candidates for Congress in the first dis
trict. The Rogersville Reporter publishes
two communications calling on Col. John
Nethe-land, of Hawkins county, to become
a candidate for Congress in the first dis
trict. The Bristol Courier of the 18th inst,
has the following article touching the can
vass in that district:
San effort is being made to get ex-Presi-
dent johnson to accept the race for Con-
gress in the first district. If he will accept
the position, he can get the race without
any effort on bis part-the Conservative
Democratic press, as we'll as the people,
will give it to him by acCamation, and the
necessity for a convention will be done
away with. But we do not think
that the eX-PresideDt will accept of
il; the honor Of making a canvass
against some fourth-rate politician is not to
be coveted, and the endorsement of his old
Congressional district will not fill the
measure of his ambition. He has been
snUbbed by the party of the State, and
nothing but the endorsement of that party,
throughout the broad limits of the Com
monwealJh, can blot out that defeat. 1t is
not the postiOn-that can add nothing to
his political histoIy-bUt the endorsement
Of the people of bis own State which he de-
sires. IfTennessee should be given an ad-
ditional representative in Congress, to be
elected by the State at large, we believe he
would accept Of the position.
"One thing: Those vino are pressing his
name for the district should consult him.
If he desires, or will accept of the position,
let him say so. If he will not accept of it
let the matter be dropped, and let us look
around for some one else to make the can

THE New York Times, Grant organ, in
obedience to its instructions from Washing
ton, has issued its order that Mr.. Ferry,
Republican Senator from Connecticut,
whose term win expire in March, is to be
laid on the shelf and superseded by Gen.
Hawley, Grant delegate to the Philadel-
phia Convention. Senator Ferry is recog-
nized as one of the ablest and fairest men
in the Senate, and though a decided Re
publican in his political convictions, has
gained the respect of all sides for his can
dor and moderation. Bat the fiat has gone
forth that he must be suspended. The
true reason for this is that he refused to
sanction the San Domingo fraud, or to up
hold the fragrant corruption in the New
York Custom House.

The Radical organs of the Grant admin
istration are iubilant over what they claim
as the failure Of Mr.. Dana, of the New
York Sun, to make out the case against
Secretary Robson. The Sun says:
"He has proved that Secretary Robson
made, in the most fragrant violation of a
perfectly plain statute of the United States,
the following payments:
"One of over Ninety Thousand Dollars.
some of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars.
Gone Of Twenty Thousand Dollars.
"Mr. Dana has also proved that Secretary
Robson made large contracts for iron, pri-
vately, without advertising, when there was
no haste or emergency to justify or excuse
him, at extrayagant and excessive rates,
paying for it a much larger sum than he
might have got it for.
''These are only a part of the unlawful
acts and irregularities which Mr.. Dana has
proved against Secretary. Robson"
The New York Tribune does not view
the matter in the same light that the Grant
organs do. Having carefully looked over
the whole affair, that paper says; eve do
not hold the Secretary fully indicated.
Without deciding that there was or was not
money justly due to Secor & Co., we can
not find legal warrant for the settlement and
payment whereby they profted so hand
somely." Still Robson is to be held up as
a model of propriety.

IELsBERALrsM.

Col. Frederick Hecker, who is indorsed
as one of the ablest German Liberals of II
linois, ventures this bold, utterance:
s'Withthe experience of all history at
hand, we assert that never yet in the histo-
ny Of all peoples has The process of purifica-
ton taken place within ruling party, nei-
Their in church nor State"
This bitter lesson in human nature is
written on every page of modern history.
and the few exceptions that might be IN
earthed would serve only to prove the rule.
It is still an open question whether any
process Of publication viii suffice, short of
the utter overthrow of the Republican par
ty and the restoration of Democracy
cleansed Of its dross by adversely,
and held together to-day by
principle alone, without loaves or fishes,
from Maine to California, North as well as
South. Yet this Liberal movement to
purify the Republican party within itself,
deserves encouragement at our hands, and
shall certainly meet with no obstacle. 1t
derives all its vitality from the Democratic
principles it adopts; and as we seek the
triumph of thoseEprincples, we welcome all
cooperation. We are long since pledged
against every abuse and corruption that
Liberalism seeks to remedy, and our whole
strength will be put forth in no uncertain
direction in any campaign that is liberal in
fact as well as in name.
How illiberal, then, is the petty war on
the Democracy, waged by some among US
who are labelled Liberal" How intense
ly partisan is the course of those pretended
"non-partisans" who out-Morton Morton in
disappearing every thing Democratic.
They profess to be fighting Grants Radi-
calism; but day after day their light artillery
is turned on that Democracy which they
count on as their grand army of reserve in
the coming conflict. Gentlemen, if you do
not deliberately court defeat, quit this in
sane policy Of abusing your only certain
allies.

GEN. BATE AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP,

The Memphis AUdldncbe, a few days
since, in an article relatingtO the Guberna-
torial race in this State, among the names
of other distinguished citizens in that con
nection, mentions that of Gen. w. B. Bate,
Of this city. Other journals in that and the
other Divisions of the State have made sim
liar mention, and some of them as we'll as
individuals lave referred to him as their
first choice for the Chief Magistracy of the
State. A like feeling was expressed two
years ago. he then, while declaring his
gratitude for the kind partiality, in pub
lished card, stated that he had ''no DISPOSE
ton to enter the political arena at time
like this and wrangle with his late fellow
soldiers for any Office" His feelings in this
regard have undergone no change since that
time. On the contrary, some two months ago,
in an interview with Gov. Brown, at the lat
ter's special request, the Governor assured
him that there should be no conflict be-
tween them, and desired to know his (Gen.
B.'s) wishes on the subject, to which Gen.
B. replied that, under existing circumstan-
ces he would not oppose him. We further
know that his personal and political rela-
tions with Gen. Chatham are such as not
to permit antagonism to that gentleman.
Notwithstanding the solicitude so generally
manifested to see Gen. Bate the leader of
the Democracy of Tennessee in the APP
preaching national contest, and to hear so
true a soldier and so selfsacrifcing pa
triot advocate, with his unsurpassed elo-
quence, the cause of Democracy, be feels
bound to withhold his name in that con-

CELL PERKINS" a correspondent of the
New Y ork Commercial Advertiser, declares
that Albany was named after the Albany
Erening Journal. "NIr. Weed he says,
.sstarted the Journal there a great many
years before a house was built, and people
came and settled near by, so as to be where
they could read the newspaper" That was
said as jest, but Chattanooga,in this State,
has history that is almost the counterpart
ofthe story. When the late F. A. Parham
established the Gazette at that place, then
known as Ross Landing, he brought his
printing Office down the Tennessee river
on flat-boat, and printed the first, and
perhaps one or two succeeding numbers Of
his paper upon the boat, for the reason that
there was no house in which he could es-
tablish bis office. To Mr.. Parham and his
paper, more than TO any other influence,
does Chattanooga owe the importance it
acquired, even before the war. A goodlv
number of "people came and settled near
by so as to be where they could Rad the
newspaper" before Mir. Parham was gath
cred to the fathers.

THE DIFFERENCE.

For more than ten years, American citi-
zens living in the Rio Grande Valley, have
been subjected to periodical despoliations of
their property, at the hands Of armed bands
of Mexican bandits, and often regular
soldiers. The security with which these
outIages have been committed, says the
Philadelphia Age, has embodened the
MeXicanS to inaugurate operations on a
larger scale. Instead of predatory bands
coming with friendly darkness to steal cattle,
we find bodies of Mexican soldiery, armed,
officered and disciplined, crossing the Rio
Grande in the glare of midday, posting
videts and deplOying skirmishers, while
their comrades drive into Mexican territory
two CT three thousand head of cattle, the
property of American citizens. Not only
this, but we find them arresting officers of
the United States CUstomhouse while Oh
official duty, and restraining them of their
liberty for over two hours at
time. Nor is this the work of Mexican
citizens whom the Mexican government
cannot control, but Of Mexican SOL
diers, operating under the orders
and immediate superintendent of their le-
Ultimate officers. These outrages should
be stopped. But our Government takes no
official step to reach such a consummation
We have no sufficient guard on the frontier
toprevent such raids or punish those who
trespass on American territory. Troops can
be sent to any of the Southern States to in
terfere with elections, and arrest citizens on
the complaints Of white or black vagabOnds;
but our Mexican frontier is left open and
unguarded, and the people subjected to out
rage, pillage and spoliation. This may be
one reason why Gen. Grant should be re-
elected, but the people in Texas fail TO see
It.

TIE Liberal Republicans are frequently
told by the Grant men that they ought to
labor for reform "inside the Republican
party" The following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Age of the 10th inst, shows how
the matter works:
''Will the Radicals who are talking about
Reform inside their party note the fact
that, at the late Delegate election in this
city, the Ring carried every district !?
That is a nice illustration of Reform 'inside
