certain moral and healthy restrictions, of
course Heretofore these things have been
monopoly and people had only choice
between being starved to death and
squeezed to death, or both starvation and
squeezation combined.
The release of manufacturers from taxa
ton for series of years would work well
if properly regulated, and L think that a
proper presentation of the facts would in
cline our city fathers to that view, and
probably also our State Legislature, if no
constitutional barriers intervene.
The committee appointed to report upon
our facilities for manufacturing and our
i, railroad freight and other disadvantages,
! is composed of gentlemen who will make
no personal matter of it nor yet be swerved
| by considerations of any kind, but will
give facts and figures as they erist, and oul
| Board of Trade will back them. The time
| when few "dead head" privileges will
| shut the mouths of whole business COM
| munity is past, we hope forever.
1 OF course this committee must have time
4 in which to collect facts and figures and
can not give US report at once, but when
! it does come we may expect plain, unvar'
| nished truths, such as we need-thing'
which all have thought but few dared t.
| speak. Hasten the day when we shall az
/ away with buncombe nonsense and i'm
| practicable theories and come down to

THE Presidents proposed Southern toul
is attracting attention. Cities all over the
South, through their properly constituted
authorities, are extending him invitations
to visit them and enjoy their Inequalities.
We trust the President will find time to
make an extended tour through the South
before the extreme warm weather sets in
We believe such a tour, and the additional
information he would gain from our people
would prove beneficial, not only to the
South, but to the entire country
We have no doubt he will receive
warm welcome from the Southern people
wherever he goes. 1t will enable him to
better understand us and our wants, and
by acquaintance we will be reader to ap
preciate something of the peculiar Difficult
ties which surround the high and respon
sible position he holds.

ANDREW JOHNSON ON OUR STATE C0NsTI
TUITION.

The Nashville Banner gives prominence
to private correspondence between G. Fl.
Nixon, of Nashville, and eX-President
johnson, just previous to the adoption of
the new Constitution in 1870. The ex-
President took bold grounds agains the
adoption of that instrument, and we are
only sorry that he did not take the field in
its opposition. We opposed it then and
time has not in the least changed our opin-
ion. r...s
One of his reasons in opposition was that
it increased the number of Judges on the
Supreme bench, making the court of last
resort kind of dual court" He alludes
to the DISTINGUISHING clause in the Consti-
tuition as follows:
The new Constitution, instead of enfran-
chsing, DISTINGUISHES every man in the
State, white and black, and transfers this
important trust, aU1tich is the essence of SOU
ereignty, from the voter to the keeping of
the Legislature, converting the franchise,
in fact, into an article of merchandise, to
be bought and sold at price fixed by law.
Before the citizens can exercise the privi-
leges of voting, his is compelled to pay a
specified sum of money, as condition pre-
cedent, to the State, for the privilege of
voting, and in the event he fails to do SO
Though it be on account of pc cuDiary ina
bility), he is denied all participation in the
election. The effect of this policy will be
to make large number of voters depend
ent upon capital and few opulent aristo-
Gratis, and will lead to corruption, fraud
and the degradation of the ballOt>boX.
Why not require the tax on property as a
condition precedent to the voting of the
property holders as well as the non-prop-
erty holder? The one in principle is as just
and correct as the other.
We fully agree with Mr.. Johnson on
three points.
But we can not see what is to be gained
by promulgating these views now, unless
it is for the purpose of influencing the
General Assembly to call another constitu-
tional convention. We have alluded to
this matter before. The questions to con-
slider are whether the financial condition
of the State is such as to justify such a
movement. And secondly, is it or is ii
not best to bear with the ills we have
than to fly to those we know not of. Is the
public mind in better frame for making
constitution? We think it is, but it is a
question of Importance and worthy OF
very careful consideration before decisive
action.

Plain Talk.

MESSRS. RULE & KICKS: Iou9leserYe
much credit for the active part taken in
drawing the attention of the world to our
healthy and wealthy section, but unless
we wake up and shake out our already al
most palsied limbs we must take back
seat and your "Facts About East
Tennessee" may be continued for years
without ever losing their point, for ours
will be "undeveloped reso urces," and still
be attractive to capital and labor" But
like the steady monotonous cry of the
auctioneer, these things in themselves
alone gradually cease to attract the atten-
ton of the pressing and jostling outside
world. They must be backed up by an
energetic public spirit.
While chanting these delightful "lulla-
-biesp to charm the ears of others, we must
not let our silver tongued music throw uS
off into the arms of Morpheus to nod in
intoxicating dreams of what Nature de-
signed for our section, True, Nature de-
signed this for rich and prosperous Sec
ton, but she has left it to us to carry out
the design, and we well know that we are
a little slow about it. We are behind the
times.
1t would amuse an outside observer to
for two or three days over the trial by one
of our railroads, of the patent air-brakes,
which they design putting into use. Now,
these brakes have been in use
for months upon nearly every important
line i'm the United States and some States
passed laws a year ago compelling their
use upon all fast trains.
Elsewhere such "trial' would be like
making an experiment with a locomotive
to see if the thing would actually run it
self, but here it is a sign of progress that we
are all glad to see. Weare behind the times,
[ say, and every one of us acknowledges 1T.
If some one will lead off and point out
what to do, we can, and think, will fol-
low. .ft aI9
Our Board of Trade are alive and will do
great deal of good if the people will back
them up. AT last meeting they took some
important steps. Committees were APP
pointed to report upon the Methodist Cen
trail University, the Eastern Division Fair,
upon releasing new manufacturers from
taxation and upon the advantages and dis
advantages of Knoxville as manufactur-
ing point.
The Church Committee to locate the
University meets in Chattanooga on Wed.
nesday the day following the next meet
ing of the Board of Trade, and unless some
thing is done before Tuesday night, some
thing must be done then. Let us talk upon
the matter and see if the Board of Trade
can afford to pledge this city for, as large 6
bona fide subscription as any other city
will give for this University.
The Eastern Division Fair is in bad
wav for the need of such small sum
of money as our hotel keepers, confection
ers. saloon keepers, &C., could and would
raise if it were properly shaped, and if, fol
a small rental, they could have the privi
Iege of free trade upon the ground, with
