Removal OF Fair Grounds.

EDToRs CHRONICLE:-The suggestion
of c. w. Charlton, Secretary, &C., in his
recent report, to remove the Fair Grounds
somewhat on the line of the Knoxville
and Ohio Railroad is an admirable one,
and ought to be acted upon favorably by
the Directors and Stockholders of the
Eastern Division Fair. The present
Grounds are badly located for the conven-
fence and comfort Of all concerned. They
are off some two miles from the railroad,
which, in these times of progress won't
begin to do.
But you ask what will you do with the
present grounds? I answer, pay off the
debts on the 19A acres where the building
stands. Get the Legislature to authorize
the Directors to sell the fifty acres belong
ing to the State, and then divide the whole
into small lots, sell out and reinvest in fif-
ty acres on the Knoxville and Ohio rail-
road. By this plan, you will not only
meet and pay off all the debts,
but you will have a surplus fund
of ten or fifteen thousand dollars left with
which to improve the new purchase. This
is plain case. Instead of having to pay
fifty or seventy-five cents to get to the
grounds, as has been the custom, the round
trip could be made for about ten cents.
Big crowds are always desired at fairs, but
these you will never get so long as your
grounds are where they now are. The
people will not consent to be taxed so
heavily.
Let this subject have frank and patient
investigation; let the Stockholders and
citizens think calmly over it, and there
can be no doubt but that a favorable result
will follow. PROGRESS.

The st. Louis Democrat is severe on
Gen. Gordon the recently elected United
States Senior from Georgia. 1t says:
There is radical defect in the structure
of society of Georgia, which will greatly re-
tard her progress. So long as her people
encourage and cultivate such orators as
General, now Senator Gordon, Georgia
must occupy back seat in the work of re-
construction and advancement. 1t was
only the other day that this oratorical bird
of gorgeous plumage spread his pinions on
the ambient air in the following style:
"OuF material interests are not less bound
together than are these two sections bound
together by the great father of waters,
whose head is crowned with the circle of
their ice bound mountains, and whose feet
are bathed in the tepid waters of our
orange-bound gulf.n [Applause.]
Now it was bad enough for an adult per-
son to indulge in the foolishness of talking
in that style 1t might do for perform
ance by an inferior class of undergraduates
cultivating their first crop of mustache at
fourth>rate colleges but it is worse than
ridiculous in a newly elected United States
Senator, and, God save the mark, the sue
cessful competitor of Alexander II. Ste
phi ns. But if it was bad in Gordon to say
1t, what shall be said of the people who
greeted such bombast with ''applause?"

MEN or THE PAST AND PRESENT;

1t is very common to hear persons draw
ing an unfavorable comparison between
men of the present day and the men of
twenty five years ago. They claim that
we are in state of degeneration, that
men are less honest, less talented and
physically inferior to their fathers. They
point to Webster, { lay and Calhoun, and
with an air of triumph, ask where their
equals are to be found. 1t is not necessary
to detract anything from the greatness of
Clay, Webster, Calhoun, or any ofsheir as
sociates, who were bright lights in the
political galaxy of their day. This
could not be done successfully. History
will always accord to them a place among
the great men of the world. But have not
circumstances great deal to do with
mems greatness? A man may be possessed
of strong common sense, of a highly cult
waited mind and of brilliant genius, but
his common sense, his cultivation nor his
genius will avail him anything among
those who are ignorant of his accomplish
ments. He must have an opportunity to
make them generally known before they
are generally appreciated. In certain sense
man is often the creature circumstances
Not unfrequentely, fame is accidental
When it is not entirely accidental, cir
cumstances do much, very much towards
rendering it prominent and striking.
In Webster's time, man-worship was
more popular and more common than it
is now. Men are thinking for themselves
more and more every year. and as they
progress in forming their own opinions
they are less likely to fall into the error
of adopting everything as truth, because
some one else says it is. Men sometimes
appear great by contrast. IfCharles Sum-
ner, Roscoe Conkling, Oliver p. Morton,
Allen G.. Thurman, or Lyman Trumbu |
had served in the United States
Senate twenty-five years ago, they
would have been the equals in point of
ability of almost any man then serving in
that body. They are men of power, men
of genius, but alongside of Schurz, Howe,
Patterson, Wilson, Sherman, Logan, and
others, their lights do not shine so promi-
nently, and the tone of public opinion is
changed SO that they do not find as many
worshipers as they might have found in
other days.
We believe there is as much statesman
ship, as much culture, and as much genius
J to be found among men of the present age
as among those of any former time. We
believe that politicians are as honest, all
things considered, as at any former time
We regret to say that honesty is not now,
nor has it ever been. prominent eleme Mt
in the composition of politicians. But
with all this, we are not willing to admit
the fearful and alarming degeneration

A bill is pending before the Ohio Legis-
lature to provide guardians for habitual
drunkards. Where is the man who would
not endorse such law? All agree that it
is right to appoint guardian to take charge
of and look after the estate of lunatic.
Are not habitual drunkards insane, for
the time being at least? And ought not
their wives and children to be protected
from the natural results Of their insanity!

THE Southern people, and especially
Southern Republicans, have felt a great
deal of interest in having the South repre-
sented in President Grants Cabinet. If
some man of ability, who knows and feels
the wants of our people-who knows and
properly appreciates their weak points as
the strong points, could hold position in
the Cabinet, he might prove of vast benefit
to us. Apropos to this we quote from the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Times:
WASHINGTON, Jan. ga committee OF
Southern Republican Senators and Re
representatives. chosen at a meeting short
time since, waited upon the President this
morning to urge upon him the propriety
of selectinga representative Southern man
to occupy position in his Cabinet. There
was quite free and cordial interchange of
views, and the President says that he had
been endeavoring ever since his Cabinet
was formed, to so adjust his Cabinet posi-
tions that the South might be properly
represented, but Rs yet other necessary
conditions had not accompanied the sug-
gestion of the name of any Southern man
thus far presented.

The Fl. Sill ManSacre..The Nathan

Two startling reports appear in our dis

men, women and children, with 8 portion
Of the Fourth Cavalry, mASsacred. hap
PLY this report is not confirmed by later
dispatches, and, the absence Of news 10
quarters that ought to be advised If such
thing had occurred, renders It almost
certain that the report Is Q canard. The
other report Is that q man in Jail al

iesses that he was one ofthe persons who
murdered BENJAMIN NATHAN IN New

deed was suggested by WARRINGTON Ma.
THAN, son Of the murdered man. lHvIEG's
confession Is telegraphed fully. 1t lacks
coherency In some places; but our dis
patches from San Francisco are often so
mutilated in transmission that It Is diff.
cult to get the sense out of them,
and this apparent incoherency may
be due, in part at least, to that
cause. The mans sanity However,
has been questioned; and II is posi-:
sible, notwithstanding lis air Of probabil-
ity and particularly Of detail, that this
confession is only another fiction Of an.
other lunatic whose connection with the

instances, exists only In his crazy impgin.
