and attracting considerable interest in this coun-

Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-09-18

That portion of the Democratic press III
Tennessee which advocates the regular
nominee, Gen. Cheatham, is industriously
engaged in lampooning Andy johnson for
his connection with the hanging of Mrs
Surratt. Papers advocating the election of
Mr.. johnson, are trying to make capital
for him and against Mr.. Maynard, by
stirring up the Impeachment issues"
We wish to ask, what special interest does
the people of the State have in the discus
sion of these issues now? There is moth
ing in them that is not overshadowed by
the living vital issues of to-day. The
people of the State have been rob-
bed of millions by corrupt rings. Our
treasury is empty now, and these same
rings are growing rich from means that
ought to be used to pay our public debt,
and to improve our credit. We have no
system of free schools that is worth the
name. Our public highways are disgrace
to the State. Our material interests are
languishing for want of proper stimulents
to develop them. This all grows out of
having incompetent rulers, who are the
ready tools of whatever combination comes
along controlling few hundred thousands
of capital. Would it not be much more
appropriate for us to discuss such questions
as bear upon these subjects ? We leave
sensible, patriotic men to say.

THE 1MpEAcHER AND THE uNIMPEAcHED .

Consistency is jewel of such rare viz
tue, that we never expect it in one who
revels in falsehood and lives by corruption.
But when the paid tools of corrupt ring
wish to divert the public mind from the
operations of their masters, they Will re-
sort to any method, without any sort of re-
gard for consistency. We warned our
readers of this in our issue of yesterday
morning and in the same issue of the
''ringN organ published at this place, we
find the truth of our statement amply ver-
flied. The presence of Ex-President Johnson
in our city has brought the ''big organn off
the fence-as we predicted it would

we do not pretend to say, and it
is grinding music for him of the most ap-
proved style, but which is wofully dis
cordant. 1t devotes over column to the

THE little achifet of the Chattanooga
Times, referring to Mr.. Maynard's state
ment relative to General Grants letter ac-
knowledging the receipt of donation
from friends in New York in 1866, and the
Democratic forgery which made it appear
1885," says:
Such barefaced Misrepresentation as this Is of
the same piece with the other, and makes May
nard appear in the role of retailer of false
moods, for the facts regarding this munifcent
gift were telegraphed tar and wide over the con-
tinent published in every hamlet in 1869, be-
fore Grants Inauguration as President, and ap-
pear to-day in the newspaper files of the coun-
try.as part of the recorded history of that
year.
Now if the little whiffet will produce
the files of a respectable newspaper, show
ing that letter to have been written in 1869
instead of 1866, we will acknowledge that
he is truthful man and a gentleman,
either of which would be a wonderful adj
mission.
