MAYNARD AND THORNBURGH.

The election of Thornburgh in the BAT
tering RAM district, which now seems 10
be conceded, is one of the most gratlfylng
results of the canvass. The mapping OUT
of this district, so shamefully partisan ana
proscriptiye as that not fair-minded man
ATTEMPTED to defend it, was intended to de-
feat the people's will, and to secure a par
tisan triumph. But the attempt has met
with most signal and merited rebuke. by
thee lection of Thornburgh the people ofthe
district not only secure an able and faith
full representative, but they have, we hope,
forever put an end to such infamous legis-
Iation. When the gerrymandering was COM
pleted the partisan leaders of Democracy
chuckled in their sleeves and thought they
had done a wonderfully smart thing. Not
only have we shelved Horace May
nard, said they, but we have fast
ened upon his old Radical constituents,
a Secesh Democrat. We "believe in the
law of revenge" said their leading Sena'
tor. With such motives, unblushingly
proclaimed, they awaited the result with
confidence. Their "whippers in" and
drill sergeants" would rally the weak
kneed to the nominees" for the sake Of
the Organization" reasoned the party
managers, and with this delusion they
pressed through their partisan measures
But Horace Maynard, through fourteen
years and over of public life, had never
dishOnored his constituents or betrayed g
trust. OF conceded integrity and ability
the people could not suffer him topass into
retirement, Iegislated out of office by the
infamous gathering ram" district. Sc
they rallied to his support, and to-day ht
stands overwhelmingly endorsed by the
people of his State and hi:
pursuers are COMPOUNDED with disgrace
His election if assured, as now seems tt
be conceded, is the greatest triumph of ever
his eventful political career, as it is one o
the most fortunate for his State.
With Maynard and Thornburgh elected
the "Battering Ram" district will bt
heard of no more, and partisan, proscrip
tive legislation will, we trust, be forever

ANDREW JOHNSON.

Whatever opinion any one may nave
entertained as to the propriety of sendlng
ex-President Johnson to Congress from
this State, it must be conceded by all ex-
cept Bourbons that his canvass of the
State has been productive of good. Moth
ing else could have SO thoroughly shaken
and demoralized the proscriptive wing of
the Democratic party, led by Isham G..
Harris and his co-laborers, as the fight
made by Johnson. Under the circum-
stances, there is no man in the State per-
haps that could have done it so effectually
as he has, and for this he is entitled to the
gratitude of all conservative men
He has made the fight against
the same powerful combination that fore
ed the people of Tennessee in 1851, to at
tempt severance of their connection will
the Federal Government. He has aided
in the defeat of this wicked combination,
and for this he will be held in grateful re-
memberance.

THE friends of the CHRONICLE have lit

evening and the rejoicings over the cleo

truly heartfelt and general. We have
been pleased to rejoice with them and have

ONE FEATURE OF THE VICTORY,

The ground swell' of Tuesday has even
shook to its very centre the Democratic
stronghold of Tennessee. The grand out
burst of patriotic Indignation that repealed
the corrupt Greeley coalition, swept oyer
Tennessee to rebuke the Over-bearing, vim
dictive and sectional spirit that has per
vaded the extreme secession wing of the
Democratic party. The revolt of the
people of this commonwealth against
the partisan, anti-American policy
of the party in power has been so for
midable and irresistible as to con
found and terrify the leaders who
for so long time, have rested unconcern-
ed and over-confident in their official sta
tons. They have presumed, upon strong
party feeling and sectional prejudices, to
tolerate them in abuses of power that un-
der ordinary circumstances would have
hurled them from authority. They have
rested secure in their strong partisan ma
jority, to force upon their voters, men
wholly unfit for and unworthy of the
Offices to which they aspired. Corrupt,
intolerant and incompetent, their leaders
have so far outraged every sense of honor
and patriotism that now, in an unexpected
hour, they are called to account for their
stewardship. The thunders of the battle
have not yet died away far enough to ena-
bic us at this writing clearly to give the
extent of the peoples rebuke, but
enough is already known to say that
hereafter we shall have better
Government in Tennessee, for the people
have shown determination to think and
act for themselves and hold their rulers to
a strict accountability for the trusts confid-
ed to them.
This is the meaning of Tuesdays ver-
dict, and a gloriously significant days
work it was. Now for more progressive,
more national, more hopeful future for
Tennessee

The unstinted abuse heaped upon An
drew johnson by the Bourbon Democracy
for his devotion to the Union i'll 1861 was
both unddeserved and impolitic. The pro-
scriptive spirit of the Cheathamites lost
Greeley in every Northern State. But so
it has always been with the extreme De-
mocracy since their advent in power in
Tennessee. Wherever they could do it
they have seemed anxious to show Con-
sentative Union men they only wanted
their Uotes. Has the sacrifice of Johnson
opened their eyes?
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-11-07

The effort of the Tribune to account for
the defeat of Greeley because Democrats
sold themselves for five or twenty dollars
a head, sounds like some of those former
sentiments Greeley expressed towards the
Democrats when he said that though
"every Democrat was not horse thief
every horse thief was a Democrat" 1t is
very unkind in the Tribune to charge that
the Democrats were bought up. They
were sold at Baltimore but the delivery
never was made. $50 West, young man.

THE Cheathamites have driven the Con
servative Union men of Tennessee from
the Democratic party with contumeIy.
What is now to prevent all conservative,
true men in this State from uniting to
give more liberal progressive and patri-
otto administration of the State. Can they
longer afford to stand as servants for the
Bourbon Democracy?

say to the Johnsonites. And they dom

Cheathamites do. That's what hurts so.

To the Tax Payers of Lincoln County.

i"JO'S Vi MuCOlu VOuutys
fhe new Revenue law (Which repeals
oil previous laws) is so very stringent
that deem it important to call your at.
tsntion TO some Of its provisions as
early as possible, that you may have am
pie time to meet them. Those that con
csrn US most are in section ll9 Of the
Revenue law and read as follows:
"Thsre is no property exempt from
seizure aud sale for taxes. No seizure
and sale Of property shall be made until
after the 6rst day of Dscemb.r each year,
and the Collector shall not receive o
credit for delinquent taxes until he shall
have made affidavit that he has been un.
able to find any personal property ou. Of
which to make taxes in each case 20 re
turned delinquent"
From the above you will see that
must collect the taxes ,Chen there is anu
personal property, or pay them myself,
which would bankrupt me therefore l
shall be driven to csllcct by force all
taxes unpaid on the 6rst of December.
The law seems hard, but l cannot svade
it. Let US, therefore, prepare to comply
with Its demands and save trouble and
costs. +. WING, Collector.
