Neal, Thurman and the Demo-
cratic Central Committee.

AS we predicted the Uemo-
cratic Central Committee of
Vinton county showed its lit
tleness and hypocrisy in enter
tailing and counting Judge
Thurman Notwithstanding he
had taken his increased pay
just as Mr.. Neal did, whom
they condemned as unworthy
of being heard. They hadn't
decency or courage enough to
treat them both alike, after
they found that both were Ed.
titled 10 the same treatment.
If they were willing to relent,
after they found "our noble
Senator" was caught, they
should have shown fairness
enough to have apologized, and
should have made their apollo.
gy as public as their insult.
But no; they are mum about it.
They have been caught in a
dirty little piece of trickery,
and dare not say a word one
way or the other. That was
what was to be expected from
a committee which would re.
sort to such hypocrltical prac-
tees,
Since they have refused to
give Mr.. Neal a hearing, We
have obtained permission from
him to publish his letter to the
committee, which is given be-
low. May he Mr.. Bowen or
some of the committee will
show him enough courtesy to
answer it. Here it is:
Cn1LLIcorHE, o., Aug. 27, 1873.
j. W. BOWEN, Dear Sir:-l
have received your letter Of
this date in which you ask
" neither | am "drawing my
salary as a member of the
House of Representatives at
the rate of 1926 per month, un-
der the late outrageous salary
law" My answer consists of
two words: I am. 1t seems
strange to me that you or any
one else would think that l
would do otherwise. | cannot
conceive upon what theory
you would have me refuse com.
pensation under the new law.
| took no part in its enact
ment. l was not a member oil
the Congress that enacted it.
Do you say the fact that the
law was IN force at the time oil
my election fixed my compen-
sation at $4,000 per annum
constituted a contract between
me and the Government by
which l was bound to serve
for that sum2 1t is not so.-
There was no such contract, nor
can you, by any process OF
reasoning, fair or unfair, arrive
at any such conclusion. The
most that can be claimed is
that l agreed to serve for that
sum, subject to any increase or
dlminution that might be made
by Congress; for it cannot be
denied that Congress has now,
and has always had the legal
and constitutional power to
fix its own compensation. Sup
pose that instead OF increasing,
the last Congress had reduced
the pay of members of Con-
greSs. Would you then insist
that | should draw my pay un.
der the old LGtD? | think not.
Yet such would be the logical
result of the course OF reason.

Besides the $4,000, l was er.
titled under the old law to
S125 per session tor stationery,
about 5000 per session for
mileage, and the franking
privilege. By the new law all
these are taken awsy from me

any compensation if not under

Democratic Nominat-

Slim Attendance and a
Weak Ticket.
Another Nasty Preacher to
be offered up as a Sacrifice.
The Rev. Harrison Lyle Nominated
for Representative.

Blough ye their Impet blough,
The sadli-solemn sound;
Let VlntOn county know
That Harrison's around.
The "Llberal Republican and
Democratic" convention met
last Monday. The attendance
was very slim. Richland, we
believe, was the only delega-
ton that was full. After con.
siderable figuring the delega.
tions were filled up to suit the
ring, and all was happy and
ready for business. Wat. Pill
cher was selected to cast the

cause of his uDbounded popu-
larity out there, as evlnced In
the election last fall when he
ran about thirty votes behind
his ticket for Sheriff. The De-
mocracy of Eagle will no doubt
feel highly honored when they
learn tina! Mr.. Pitcher repre-
sented them and did their vot
ing in the convention.
When everything was in as
coed trim as it could be made,
the convention organized by
electlng DR.. Monahan as chair
man, and Richard Craig and
T. A. Murray as Secretaries
Thereupon the chairman intro.
duced a novelty In political
conventions, by requesting all
those who were not members of
the convention to retire, so that
the convention might hold a
caucus. The bystanders re-
fused to 60 out, whereupon the
convention itself went out into
the jury room, which held them
very comfortably, and held
their little caucus, the first ap-
parent result of which was TO
choke Patrick Kelley off Of the
track for Representative by
nominating him tor Commits
Sioner, which was done by ac-
clamation.
The next in order was the
nomination of a candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney, j. M.
McGiIlivray, B. f. Armstrong
and o. 7. Cunning being the
candidates. McGillivray was
nominated on the second bal
lot, Cunning having withdrawn
and McGillivray having pre-
tended to withdraw.
w. W. Belford was nominal.
ed by acclamation for Auditor.
For Representative the
names of Thos. McGee, John
Frazee and Harrison Lyle were
presented. Mr.. Frazee's name
was presented without author
ity and was withdrawn. The
ballot resulted-M ,Gee, 20;
Lyle, 33.
No candidate for Surveyor
was nominated, but Richard
Craig is the man that the ring
will put on the ticket.
The ticket then stands thus:
For Representative, Harrison
Lyle, of Richland.
For Auditor, W. w. Belford, OF
Elk.
For Prosecuting Attorney, j.
Nj. McGlllivray, of Elk.
For Commissioner, Patrick Kel-
ley, of Wilkesville.
For Surveyor, Richard Craig,
OF Elk.
On motion the following g
Central Committee was ap
pointed: r. Craig, Geo. Lanlz,
A. j. Swain, j. W. Bowen and
W. W. Belford.
The ticket is a weak one and
will not command the support
Of the people. The conven.
tion appeared to think that
they had done bod job and
just kind OF dissolved in mu.
lual disgust, not more than a
dozen being present on ad-
journment.

The value of science and perseverance
in farm work is illustrated by the result
wheat culture in Massachusetts. In lSl2,
John Quincy Adams in despair wrote to
friend that, after fifty years of reading
and experimenting, he had failed to raise
wheat in New England. But the perse-
vering Yankees, not daunted by half
century of failure, persevered, and by the
aid of more intelligent labor have sue
ceeded SO well in raising wheat in
Massachusetts, that, by the last report of
the Commissioners of Agriculture, it ap-.
pears that the yield per acre in the Old
Bay State largely exceeds that of the vir-
gin soil of Kansas. This should be en-
couraging to our farmers. We hear men
say grass will not grow in the East Ten
nessee. If fifty years of experiments have
totally failed to raise it, which is not the
case, there would still be room for hope.
The fact is, hard work, if intelligently di-
rected, will accomplish wonders.

THE Nashville papers are very enter

beer at Frankfort, Kentucky, instead of
in Fatherland. The old granny of the
Union and american, after an hours hard
study, concluded to be safe and published
the dispatch so that the readermight locate
it in Kentucky or Germany, as best suited
him. On the whole, we most admire the
conservative course of the old granny. It
is a safe old organ, always to be relied on,
sticks close to precedents and old land
marks and it evidently didn't propose to
be caught on a mere question of geography.

public opinion in his comparison between

one familiar with the procedure of legis-
lative bodies will realize tie impossibility
of securing perfection i'm the first law Of
such character. The great want of bet

in favor of better roads win grow as
rapidly as the public sentiment has on the
school question. When the CHRoNICLE
in its first. and almost every subsequent
issue, agitated the school question we
were told by the old fogies that it would
not be popular. Now, we find men and
papers then opposed to the great cause,
foremost in claiming honor for its present
popularity. So it will likely be. with the
road law.

THERE is about three and half millions
of property in Knoxville covered by fire
insurance. The premiums ON this risk an
nually paid to insurance companies would
more than pay the tax on the cost of water
works. But this not the only way to look
at the financial part of this important local
question. The actual amount of property
subject to loss by fire is much larger
than we have named above. The
real risk to be covered by water works
is the value of this property. Who will
question, then, the economy of such a
public safeguard? We have heard of no
citizen who opposes water works. The
way for our City Council seems clear. The
only question seems to be as to the best To-
cation and the best system. This
can best be determined by experienced
engineers and practical men. Let the City
Council provide for the appointment of
such body. Let them make careful
survey and close estimates of the cost and
the comparative merits of the different
systems. With such information before
them, the city authorities could act intel
ligently. This matter should now be
pressed as speedily as is possible with hav-
ing it done in the best and cheapest man.

THE men who lead in reforms must eX-
pect to meet with the opposition of drones
and old fogies. But they generally live
long enough to see their progressive senti-
ments endorsed by the substantial, wide
awake citizens about them. We see in a
Granger county letter to our -coptempora-
nv, that the worthy representative from
that county, Mr.. Tate. is threatened with
defeat, should he hereafter come before the
people fos office, because he favored new
road law. Now we trust for the sake OF
the general reputation of his constituents
that this threat comes only from few old
drones. Wehave not yet heard from a
progressive citizen any complaint at the
CHRoNICLE for advocating a better road
law but on the contrary our. efforts have
been approved by the best men in East
Tennessee-men upon whom thenew road
tax will fall heaviest. Time will vindieate
