PUBLIC ROADS AGAIN.

If any one wants overwhelming evil
dence in favor of a radical change in our
system of keeping up public roads, we ad-
wise him or them to take a trip to the
country from Knoxville, going twelve miles
III any direction. If there are any who
feel surprised that the country does not
grow up and improve faster, if they will
only consider moment, they will find one
strong reason in the fact thatour thorough
fares are next to impossible large portion
of the year. These miserable roads are not
calculated to inspire a stranger favorably
with regard to our country, and there is
little in them to encourage our own peO-
pie, or to give point to their energies. The
fact is, there must be a remedy. The far
mers demand it and the citizens o. Knox
vile demand it. Knox county could much
better afford to pay road tax of fifteen thou
sand dollars per annum than to allow our
public highways to remain unimproved.
Every other county in East Tennessee
stands in the same attitude. The improve
ment in the price of land alone for the first
ten years would more than double that
amount, to say nothing of the increase in
the products of the country, under the
encouraging influence of good roads tc
and from market. If well graded and
macadamized turnpike is constructed from
Knoxville to a farm within six miles o.
the city, it has the effect of bringing such
farm, relatively considered, at least two
miles nearer. The people in town and il
the country are equally interested in i'm
proving public roads, and they should b,
aroused on the subject. We appeal to then
to think seriously of this matter and bring
such influence to bear on the Legislator,
as will give us a good road law, even will
the few days that body is to remain il
session.

THE Memphis papers abound in cor
respondence, criticising the provisions of
Hon. John S. Kerr's divorce bill, which
makes adultery the only grounds for d.
vorce from the bonds of matrimony. They
argue, we believe, that Kerr is bachelor
of the first water, andnot having had per-
sonal experience in making matches. they
argue that, as a matter of course, he can't
know how to unmake them. One thing
is very certain, and that is that Col. Kerr
must show disposition to renounce his
ideas of " single blessedness and study
the beauties of " connubial bliss " before
he can popularize his tenacious determine
ton to improve upon our divorce laws.

THE Cincinnati Commercial is deter
mined not to be satisfied with anything
President Grant says or does. 1t means
constantly to show its independence by
general fault-finding. 1t is exercised in
the highest degree because he claims his
almost unanimous election for a second
term as a vindication of himself against
the abuse and SANDER heaped upon him by
his enemies in the past. 1t says:
He was reelected President because the
Democratic party gets understanding

from her crushing criticism, but our hopes

We trust the President will find time to

We have no doubt he will receive a

oUR IoANDTDATg FOR SPEAKER.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER.
It is an almost universal impression
in political circles that at the APP
preaching session of the House OF
Representatives a new Speaker will
be elected to succeed the present in
cufflbent, and public opinion points to
Hon. L. j. Souer of Avoyelles as the
coming man.
This popular and talented young
man possesses in marked degree the
qualities requisite for presiding Off
Ger and there is no member of the
House who could fill the position with
more credit to himself or satisfaction
to his colleagues than can Mr.. Souer.
His consistent devotion to the prin-
eiples of Repnblicanism, and the yeo-
man service he has done the cause In
times of danger, have gained him
hosts of political friends, while his
pleasing social disposition and gen
tlemanly conduct towards all with
whom he comes in contact, has secur-
ed him as large afollowing of person
al admirers and vel wlshers as any
man in Louisiana can boast.
Ofeourse the say-so of the CHIEF
can neither guarantee Mr.. Souers
election or accomplish his defeat, still
we feel satisfaction in paying deserved
tribute to worthy and popular man,
and in expressing the hope that ne
may be placed in the Speakers chair
by unanimous vote of the House.
We have heard it stated that ont of
twerty-eight Representatives from
the Third Congressional District
tweIty-seven have expressed them
selves decidedly in favor of Mr.. SoueT
for Speaker, and we hope this asser-
ton will be verified and that the other
Districts will follow the good example
of our own.
