are hypocrites in the Senate, and 4 have a
right to denounce hypocrisy wherever I find

been fight upon the floor of the Senate, or

Call on Col, Glass TO Take the Ffel


Call on Col. Glass TO Take the Field.
Editors News: We desire thorough the
columns Of your paper to call upon Col. P.
I. Glass to become a candidate for the
State Senate from this district, comprising
the counties of Haywood and Lauderdale.
We think as do many fair minded voters in
-" other counties of the district, that Lau-
derdale is entitled to the SenatOrship. and
We believe the duties and responsible
ties of the position could not be entrusted
to more able and Trustworthy care than Of
Col. Glass.
We should be pleased TO here favorably
from him on the subject through the col
umns Of the Netus:
Respectfully,
VOTERS OF LAUDERDALE.
The above card speaks for ITSELF The
gentlemen who forward it to the Nelrs are
among the best citizens of the county. They
very properly suggest that Dauderdale is en-
titled to the honor of furnishing the next
Senator from this District, and, as properly,
think that Col. Glass would fiji the position
ably and faithfully. Indeed we know of
no one who has a more intelligent interest
in the material prosperity OF this section,
and who would reflect the progressive SEN
timent Of our people more fully and effect
lively at the State Capital than the gentle
man referred to. The call pIsases us, par
ticularly because we had already fixed in
our mind upon Col. Glass as being suitable
in every respect for the position, and had
thought of suggesting his name in that con-
nection to the voters of the district. In an
ticipatiOn Of any reply from Col. Glass, We
promise him the hearty support Of the Ne5rS
in case he consents 10 become a candidate.

The LOWries.

NEW YORK, March A letter from
Scufietown, n. c., gives a full account of
the Lowry gang of outlaws and their depre-
datiOns. Sixteen murders has been COM
mitted and over 300 robberies, and not a
man lost to the band. They live in a
swamp, and are a mongrel race, being
mixture of Italian, negro and low whites.
The leader Of the band can neither read nor
write. He expresses a willingness to leave
the State, but his gang will not permit it.
One Of the Sher ifs declares the only way
to rid the State of them is for the govern
ment to declare the whole county under
martial-law, and draw a military Gordon
around it, with determined army officers,
to capture and kill the outlaws.

They pay the men who aid them to beau
tlty our farms and homes a full reward for
their labor They can have conventions,
therefore, that do not mean oppression to
one class in order to promote their own in
terests. Their organizations, therefore,
promote the public interests and are
worthy Of the earnest support of all
class To encourage the agricultural
classes is to help build the founda-
ton upon which our whole commercial
interests rest. 1t is work in which the
farmer is primarily interested, but it is
one in the success of which every class of
our people, manufacturers, merchants,
bankers-and acorkingneen above all-are
concerned. We therefore hail this new
departure of our farmers as an event of
Importance to all East Tennessee and a
subject for hearty congratulation.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-05-19
A SUBJECT FOR GENERALIZATION

The event of the week in Knoxville was
the Farmers Convention. 1t was the
first meeting of the kind ever held in Ten
nessee. We may, therefore, regard it as a
new departure Of our agricultural classes.
We regard the movement as important
and worthy of special encouragement. 1t
is not SO much the information COMMUNE
Gated in this single meeting that is of val
ue-though that must prove important
but it is the fact that the farmers Of East
Tennessee are at last aroused to
the necessity of organized associa-
ton for the diffusion of information
and for the benefit of cooperation. Bust
ness men have their Boards of Trade and
Chambers of Commerce Bankers and
Brokers have their Exchanges Politicians
have their Conventions and Club rooms !;
Manufacturers have their Leagues and
Workmen have their Unions. Why
should not farmers have their COnven-
tions? The wealth of country is III its
lands The men who till the soil and pro-
tIce are the men who give the foundation
for all speculative or trading pursuits. In
this free land the men who own the
soil work it. The plice of our
happy farm homes, beautiful meadows,
well filled barns and productive acres
is well rewarded labor England has its
landed estates, its broad acres productive
as gardens, adorned with beautiful parks
and costly homes, but the price of it all is
the squalid novels and starving ignorant
children of English laborers. The man
who has seen the every day life and power
ty of England's farm laborers, can never
find heart to admire its beautiful farms and
costly parks, for he must feel they were
bought with the tears and blood of men
and children defrauded of fair reward for
their long days of toll.
There the land-holders have laws to pro-
tect them in their ascendancy and associa-
tons to promote their interests at the eX-
pense of the producing class. In Ameri-
ca, in East Tennessee, the farmers con-
ventiOns are made up of the men who own
the soil and work it with their own hands.

THE New York Democratic State Con-
vention endorsed the Cincinnati platform
and elected delegates said to favor the sur
render to Greeley. Let us look at the
convention to see the company Greeley
keeps. To begin with, it admitted the
corrupt Tammany delegates from New
York city and excluded the reform Dem
ocrats." This, said the New York Herald
correspondent, was unexpected. Again,
the convention was manipulated by John
L. Hoffman, (who has been Tammany's
tOol,) John Morrissey, the prize fighter
and gambler, and Ben. and Fernando
Wood. Such men as eX-Gov HOratiO
Seymour, last candidate for President
Judge Sanford +. Church and Samuel
Tilden were not present or influential.
In other words, the notorious old Tam
many ring manipulated the convention
and turned it over to Horace. This is
the class of Eastern Democracy that fa-
vors Greeley. Judge the man by his sur
TOundings.

LOYAL CLAIMS.

Our readers will note with pleasure the
announcement in our dispatches that the
House of Representatives has passed bill
to pay such loyal claims as have been
favorably passed upon by the Claims Com
missioners at Washington. This Court or
Commission have carefully investigated
the claims presented before them, thrown
out those that proved fraudulent, reduced
the award for those that proved excessive
and advised against those presented by
disloyal claimants. In this way Congress
has before it a lot of claims approved by
good men, which they will recommend for
payment, and which will doubtless soon
be pa id. We hope soon to report the pay
ment of all just claims in East Tennessee,
and expect to be able to do so.
