The latest proposition Of the dominant
party at the French capital is, to make
the President independent of the Assem-
bly,, to end the provisional government,
proclaim Republic and confirm Gen.
MCSIAHoN President for q term Of five
years. According to the conceptions Of d
republican government that exist on this
side Of the ocean, the first thing in order,
and the only proper way to terminate
the provisional government, is to order
an election for Assembly and President
by the people.

HOBBS CARD.

We invite attention to the second card
from Ex-Comptroller. Hobbs, which APP
pears elsewhere in this issue. In his first
card, Mr.. Hobbs denied or intended to
deny or wished to be understood as deny
ing the charge, that he admitted that he
had received So, 900 for resigning his office
as Comptroller. In his second card-which
we suppose was written in anticipation OF
proof from the Bulletin, that he had made
the admissions-he practically confesses
that he did make such admissions, but
says lie was in fun. Was ever the like
heard of before? Has this man any friends
who are sane, that he should be allowed
to appear in such stupid and foolish light
before an intelligent people? ..
The strong suspicious created against
him by the simple fact of voluntarily re-
signing an office worth fifty thousand dol
lars, he attempts to quiet by the claim that
his health was threatened in building
which is confessedly one of the finest State
buildings in the United States, The adj
missions he had made that lie resigned
his office for money, he now explains away
by the confession that he made them iii
Jest.
Discriminating readers will notice his
card and will not fail to notice what Il
qualified denial it IL. He says: never
received SIP 900 for the office of Comptroller
as an iuducement to resign it from any
source or i'll any way; nor was brought
to resign it by any pecuhiary considera-
tons paid or promised me-. .'
He Says he did not receive tWelUe thou
sand dollars but he does not say that he
did not receive twenty thousand. He says
again, nor was L brought to resign it by
pecuniary considerations paidor promised
me.n aelr . ..4ua.l s...y -......
He does not deny but that f." pecuniary
considerations " We're "paid or promised
some of his friends for him. ~ .-u..
Why does not he deny that he not only
pid not receive twelve thousand dollars
but that he did not receive any sum Of
money or consideration of value directly
or indirectly. - .r.
We suggest TO Mr.. Hobbs that with the
grave charges preferred against him, he
should either make his denIals unqualified
or keep silent. Such special pleading in
denying charges of fraud, looks very bad,
and only throws the accused deeper in the
mire.

All About the OomptrOlIership.

In the article repubished yesterday from
the Nashville Bulletin, in reference to the
Comptrollership, it said with reference to
the lessees of the Penitentiary-after re-
citing their profit on their contract with
the State:
We cannot say, nor would we insinuate,
that they paid the money, but that they
had the ability to do so. The question is,
"who struck Billy Patterson" Hobbs
received the money, beyond a peradven-
ture, and it must have been paid by those
who We're deeply interested in having a
friend in the office.
Major Thomas O'Connsr, one of the les
sees, taking the language as above quoted
as charging his associates with having paid
the money, called on Mr.. Winters to know
what was meant. The following card was
thp rpEuit .'.... ....

CARDS seem to be the order of the day
Gov. Brown is out in card denying that
he was cognizant of or party to any
fraud connected with the Comptrollership.
He denies having promised Burch the APP
pointment, or that it was made for any
other purpose than the good of the State.
He notices the charge that his veto of
the liquor law was brought about by
improper influences, and denies it.
The Onion and american, containing
Gov. Browns card, publishes one from
Col. Burch on the same subject Mr..
Burch admits that he accepted q fee from
the opponents of the liquor law and that
for said fee.he prepared, after great research
and study, brief, containing an argument
against the constitutionaity' of the law and
a citation of all the authorities on the sub
ject that he could find after whole nights
research. If we are to believe his card, he
put into that brief, his "whole ability
He says he did not get three thousand dol
lars for his nights work, but as he fails to
give the exact sum, we suppose it was a
very liberal fee. He filed his argument
with the Governor and the veto followed!
We have only time now to note these facts
and shall have something to say concern
ing them hereafter.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-08-20

HOBBS has spoken, He writes a card
and denies that he resigned the Comptroll-
ership for $4,000 to Burch or any other
man. He says he was in bad health and
produces the certificates of three .physi-
clans, VINO say that his health was such rs
to make it unwise for him to longer con-
tinue in office. He says again that he did
not admit to any one that he had received
twelve thousand dollars.
We do not suppose that the Nashville
Bulletin made its charges without reason
able grounds for believing it true, and its
next issue will be looked to with interest.
In the meantime we again suggest to the
Memphis -Apdlaache that what it knows
about the transaction would be of interest.
1t processes to know q good deal and we
are anxious 10 hear what 1t Is.

THE London NewS speaks in hig/
complimentary terms of the generous and
magnanimOus treatment of the French
people by the German troops who have
occupied the conquered territory for the
past three years. The Meas says:
During the three years of occupation it
is but justice to record that the conduct of
the Germans has been, generally speaking,
beyond reproach, thanks to their admra-
bic discipline. AT Stenay, Sedan Neuf-
chateau, Montnedy, Charleville, Bar-le-
Due, Vaucouleurs, Commercy, Epinal, the
Germans have retired without provoking
the slightest manifestation of impatience.
They have departed by detachments and
in silence, at an early hour.
