We sgsin repeat, therefore, that ii is q
matter OF secondary importance whether the
Baltimore Convention Endorses the nomina.
ton OF Horace Geeeley or not. We, who
have nominated him, intend to stand BY him,
without regard to the action of any political
combinations or pretended political leaders
whatsoever. Our shields are locked. our
faces are set upon our platform aud our can
didste, and, relying upon the spontane ous
support of the whole people, we expect TO
bear them TO victory in November next.
We believe the most likely result of the
canvass will be that Mr.. Greeley will, after
the 9Th of next July, be without an oppon-
ent in the field; state of things which, we
will take this opportunity to say, we should
exceedingly deplore. We desire, especially,
that there shall be one candidate against
him, and that that candidate shall be
Ulysses s. Grant Against him and the
corruption with which be has signalized his
gross administration we desire to wage "war

"a DEBT REGISTERED IN HEAVEN"

If Legislators and public officers gener-
ally could be made to understand that
when they act for the people responsiblll-
ty rests upon them even greater than when
acting for themselves it might be better
for mankind. Here are solemn words from
a thorough student of history, and we
commend them to men in public station.
In one one of his recent lectures, Froude
says:
"Iu nv reading of history one tremen>
.dous phenomenon forever forces itself upon
me, that every political crime is debt
registered in Heaven and the payment to
the very last farthing, with interest and
compound interest, is demanded of those
who, when the bill is signed, represent the
person of the criminal. 1t was not those
who committed the crime who suffered
generally for it, but the suffering falls on
those who are innocent, and this has been
from the beginning of time one Of the
mysteries of the providential government
Of the world. We can not precisely under
stand it but there is one lesson which
we may draw out of it; there is one point
in which it addresses the noblest part of
the nature of man; there is many hot
spirited man who will do wrong If he
thinks the risk is on him and only he will
be held answerable, but he will think more
gravely of it under other circumstances"

MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH

We publish elsewhere very valuable
article on the comparative cost of manu-
featuring cotton yarns and sheetings in
the South and North, The figures are
given in detail, and show very clearly that
there is an immense saving in the manu-
facture in favor of the South. The figures
and facts stated in that article apply with
slight notifications as well to most
other branches of manufacturing. The
comparative cost Of living in the South
and North is as true in case of miners and
machinists as of cotton spinners. The
fact is that this feature of life in the South
can only be appreciated by those who have
experienced colder climate. The extreme
cold and protracted winters of the North
are not only far more trying upon
the health of workingmen than the
long summers of our latitude, but the
difference in the length and severity of
the winters make marked difference in
the cost of living to the workingmen. The
difference actually necessary in the con-
struction of the home, the difference in
fuel needed to warm the house, the differ
ence in the amount and quality Of food for
the family and the extra cost of wintering
horse or cow, are all items which in the
course of life time swell to a very large
sum. We venture that we could call upon
Northern workmen who have lived in
Knoxville for three years and secure state
ments from them on this point that would
be surprising. These are advantages We
say that apply to most manufacturing en-
terprises. In the case of cotton manufac-
turing in South Carolina the advantages
are not greater than in iron and wood
shops in East Tennessee. We have in
these great staples as many advantages
over most sections of the North as South
Carolina has in cotton over Massachusetts
or Rhode Island,
These facts speak loudly in favor of the
South. They are not in themselves, how
ever, tempting enough to revolutionize the
cotton or iron manufactures Of the North.
Millions of dollars are invested in spindles
on the bleak shores of New England, and
in iron mills in the States of the North.
It will take strong natural advantages
backed by strong effort, to overcome the
influences these gigantic interests exert.

CoLFAx AND The TRIBUNE.

Our dispatches this morning indicate
that important changes have taken place
in the proprietorship of the New York
Tribune We have published several state
ments as to the proposed change in its edi-
torial management. The stockholders
held meeting last Friday, which decided
to continue the old editorial corps and pur-
sue the policy of independence mapped out
by Mr.. Greeley shortly before his death.
Having failed in persuading the old stock
holders to take Mr.. ColfaX, q combination
was brought about, which resulted
in transferring control of the stock into
the hands of William Orion, the President
of the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny. Mr.. Orion is a man of great wealth
and special champion of Mr.. ColfaX. He
was at the Philadelphia Convention, a
delegate from New York, and an extreme
Iy active and jealous friend of Colfax,
favoring his denomination for the Vice
Presidency. Mr.. orion was full of wrath
at the newspaper correspondents who were
so jealous for Senator Wilson and COM
planned to some of their friends Of their
"obtrusiveness."
This purchase of Mr.. Orton's, who is
also a warm friend of the President, in
sures the position Of Chief Editor of the
Tribune to Vice President Colfax and
brings it at once back to the Republican
fold. There is room enough for both the
Times and Tribune in the Republican
Press army. The developments to grow
out of this new combination will be watch
ed with interest. 1t may mean that Mr..
Colfax aims to be the next Republican
candidate for President and accepts the
new post at the head of the Tribune to help
him to it.
The sale of stock was made upon the ba~
sis of one million dollars. The original
stock was one hundred thousand dollars
one hundred shares of one thousand each.
Shares were sold Saturday for ten thou
sand dollars and the whole stock at ten
times its original cost. This shows the
value of newspaper stock in New York.

The South will eventually gain much in
these respects if proper efforts are made.
We can not do it, however, by simply
pointing to our advantages. The yankee"
is credited with being ambitious to make
money. We suppose he is. That very
ambition causes him to look back of the
advantages we have noticed. He knows
that public schools, small farms, lands at
reasonable prices, good public roads, and a
liberal, progressive public sentiment are
essential to make superior natural adj
vantages worth what we claim for them.
We can add these inducements very easily
and when we doit, immigration will come
and with it manufacturing and general
prosperity.

McCallum s. Co. some time since purchased
the gully on the corner of Asylum and Locust
streets, for considerable sum, considering the
appearance of the lots. Some of their friends
remarked at the time Of the purchase
that they thought they had been in
Knoxville long enough not to be taken
in in such manner But, far from hav
ing made bal bargain, it has proven an adj
vantage to them and the city as WELL They have
sold the corner lot, and are now laying the foun-
dations for three buildings on the remainder
They are having the entire gully filed up at
an expense of twelve dollars day. The foun-
dations, however, are being run up from the
solid ground at the bottom of the gully while
the dirt is being thrown in around the brick
work and packed, thus making foundatio
that can not be surpassed, unless it be built on
solid rock. That gully has long been an eye
sore to that part of the city, and now when it is
filed up, and ornamented with four pretty
houses, it will improve the appearance of that
locality considerably. 1t is q beautiful street,
one of the widest in the city. and we are glad
that these men had enterprise enough to take
hold, and while they are adding to the beauty
of the city, we feel confident that, in the long
run, their cash account will not suffer. There
are number of similar places in this city that
could be filled up and built upon with profit,
both to the builder and the community.

The TriaI Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon at two O'Clock. the hour
appointed for the trial ofthe famous rape case,
quite crowd had gathered at the court house.
where Esquire Ochs had concluded to hold the
trial. Mr.. John w. Miller appeared as prose-
ing him with having attempted to commit a
rape on the person of his wife on the 4th day OF
November. Esquire Yardley appeared for the
prosecution and Richard Dowell and >. ..
Payne, Esqs., for the defense. The only evidence
for the prosecution was the charge made by Mrs
Miller, while the defense held written state
ment signed by her in which she disavows any
attempt on the part of Mr. Cox on her person,
and that the prosecution was brought about
through the malice of outside parties. Mr.. Cox
proved an excellent character. and altogether
it was one of the weakest rape cases we ever
heard Of and had much the appearance OF an
attempt to blackmail good citizen. Esquire
Ochs rendered verdict according to the evil
dence for the defendant. and IN accordance
with late law, taxed Mr.. Miller with the costs
of thn caIISn

should be Repaircd.

Some time since we mentioned the unsafe
condition of the bridge across Second Creek,
near the Rolling Mill. Yesterday having .occa-
sion to visit that locality, we found that it was
a Dole laid across the side most injured to pre-
vent any not acquainted with the condition of
the bridge from passing g, but this has been re-
moved. and now it is open to public travel.
Both passage-ways of the bridge are in q dan
gerous condition for both man and beast, but in
the left there is a hole large enough for me-
dunn sized person to fall, through We un-
derstand that the corporation claims that the
Clinton Turnpike Company is responsible and
it. on the other hand, claims that the corpora
ton owns the bridge. We do not know how
that may be, but would like to know, if any one
should break their neck, leg or arm there, and
there certainly is a first class chance for such a
misfortune where the damage is to come from.

The American Central Insurance COmpa-
ny, of ST. Louis, has Sustained no Loss
at the Boston Fire.

Considering the fiery ordeal at Chicago,
through which the Company has passed, it must
be gratifying to note that the cash and available
securities of the Company speak for themselves.
This Company sustained no loss at the Boston
fire. and is prepared to take risks at former
rates. The Company bases. its claims to pat
ronage: first, on the desirable class of its invest
ments; second, its large available resources, its
stock being held in small amounts and by the
most influential business men in the West
third, on its conservative management, which
of itself is sufficient guaranty of security. The
cash capital of the Company is $1,375 600.
Soliciting a share of the patronage of the cti-
zens of Knoxville, I can promise equitable rates
and prompt adjustment.
