OUR FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.

We propose now, that the election is
over, to renew each week our East Ten
nessee articles. This is a work in which
our readers are even more interested than
we are. We now urge upon them to send
US information about their sections. Every
cove, every yally, every district and every
county affords rich material for such an
article. Send us your facts plainly, fairly
and impartially stated and we will shape
them for publication if the writers do not
care to do so. We do not want anything
but the truth. We do not want to deceive
any one. We do not want to exagerate
our advantage. They are attractive
enough plainly. told. We would rather
have immigrants come here and find our
country better than represented than to
have them come and be disappointed
Send us articles and we will be glad to
publish them

A New Way OF Advertising.

The bill-posters of this city are shrewd
and an enterprising set of men. Nothing
comes amiss to them, as is clearly shown
by their readiness to turn the carcasses of
the dead horses lying in many of our streets
to their own use. In various parts of the
town, where these carcasses are lying, these
wide-awake persons have plastered the
bodies all over with the advertising sheets
of their patrons, so that these heaps of car
rion, by hisingenious treatment, have been
made to become very picturesque objects
and in some cases worthy Of a close inspec-
ton ". J.. Post.

MAST, in one of his powerful cartoons
pictured Greeley after the election as ap-
plying for his old position as editor of the
Tribune. Whitelaw Reed, Greeley's sue
cessor, was represented as very busy at
his desk, and as giving Greeley the now
famous advice go West, young man.

that section gave him little encouragement
1t would seem, for the CHRONICLE dis

A Hopeful Indication.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 9.-The defeated par
ties in Tennessee are becoming reconciled
as to the result of the elections and hope
that good may follow. AS an indication
of hopefulness, we may state that Northern
gentlemen of large capital, who had con-
cluded to emigrate to st, Louis have, since
the election, determined to remain in Ten
nessee, believing a new policy will be in
augurated for the development of the
resources Of the State.

We will not attempt to give even a

His speech was on the argumcnta-

the understanding and common

that character which gave offcnse
to no one, and carried conviction
to the mind Of every man that the

from an honest heart. The power
with which he spoke, and the ef-

We have referred to the fact
ihat the Rogersville Reporter

Butler for Congress. In It's last
issue, the Reporter rises to ex
plain in way that Roderick will
perhaps understand. Butler, il
seems, was rash enough, in his first
speech at SneedviIIe, to assail those
Republicans in the District wi 0

clique The Reporter answers
back, thus:
"Who constitutes this "dirty
cIiquo?" The dirty clique" las

They are that class Of men who

Governor Brown made most ex
cellent speech, and in referring to
the P,nitentiary Lease, over which
our Radical brethren have raised
such a virtuous howl, he says:
From 1865 to 1871 that institu-
ton cost the State s115 900 per an
mum. 1t came out Of your pockets,
and yet l am charged with corrup-
ton for doing what? For saving
the State, by the lease, what tie
Radicals would make it cost, 5148,-
600 per anuum. l feel bound in
this connection to answer the speech
recently made at Knoxville and
extensively circulated by Henry
p Gibson, in which he cndeavors
to show that Tennessee would have
yielded 100000 from the peniten-
tiary had it not been leased. This
statement 1 dcnouncc IS utterly,
grossly and absurdiy false, and he
knew it when be uttered it. Glib
son said he was opposed to the lease
and it ought not to have been done.
Governor Brown here read the
following letter written in response
to one written by himself;

of the pcnilcntiary was tie very
best thing for the Sac, and that if
it required his vote to pass the bill,
he would vote for it, but inasmuch

would simply vote against it, but
