How Outsiders see IL.

When our Congressional canvass first
attracted attention, Houk had correspond
ents write to the outside press that he was
carrying everything before him. lie start
ed out as the Greeley men did in lS72-all
brag. Now thatthe county conventions are
showing how very weak he is, the truth is
seen. Stephen Bowel, the racy editor Of
the Jonesboro' Echo, was in Knoxville "a
few days, not long ago, and this is what he
learned:
"There is q threc-cornered fight going on
in this Congressional disLrict-Judgc l. C.
Houll and Col. }. NJ. Thornburgh, Republi-
can candidates, and Col. W. A. Henderson.
the Democratic aspirant. Wedon't wish TO
interfere in a matter that does not imme-
diately concern us, but we formed the opin-
ion, from conversations with many leading
and influential Republicans, that Colonel
Thornburgh is a much stronger, more popu-
lar and available man than his Republican
opponent. Ihornburgh seems TO have
gained uninterrupted victories all along the
battIc-liuC and the large Republican
counties, Jefferson, Union. Roauc and
Monroe have instructed their delegates 60

JUDGE HOUK said in his lockwood
speech that the CHRONICLE favored
the Assessment Law, which he says
he voted for, not knowing whatits pro-
visions were. The CHRONICLE did no
such thing, and Judge Houk knows it.
He can not find a single line favoring
that bill, neither can he find a line
favoring those provisions Of the Fund
ing Bill that preferred the bondholders'
claims to those Of the judges, and
jurors, and clerks and other home
creditors of the State. Judge Houk,
in the same speech, accused us Of mis-,
representing him in his Sevierville
speech, but he hadn't the honor to tell
the crowd that we stated in the very
next issue Of our paper that our iu-
fOrmaut had sent US an incorrect re-
port Of that part Of his speech But,
then, Houk has been for four years,
incorporating the CHRONIcLE, so
we expect nothing better from him.

vass for Congress. 1t is the same Civil
Rights Juror that was gotten up for
the comfy election. 1t is the same
effort to array thewhite and black race
against each other in bitter warfare by
appeals to the prejudices Of the former
and by the Misrepresentation Of the
scope and objects Of the much misrep-
resented law. The result Of this agita-
ton is seen in Gibson county, and in
many other places throughout the
South. The Press anil HCrdid in its
feeble way has done what it could to
aid in encouraging others to stir up
this trouble. The same INSCRIPTIONS,
incendiary class Of articles published
throughout Middle and West
Tennessee have brought upon
the fair name Of Tennessee
q series OF barbarous crimes. These
have been published far and wide,
wherever newspapers are read. Al
ready we see the results i'm our own
rrespondence. Men from every part
Of the country write TO know whether
they would be safe here, and whether
Immigration is desired. These infer
nal masked murdeTers have turned the
State backward ia i;s progressive
march many years. Just such trifling
dcmagogues as those controlling the
Press and Hcrald, by imposing upon
the ignorance Of the people for polite
cal purposes, have prepared the way
for these deeds Of violence. ItIcmaiLs

By our kilograms received last night, it
appears that the negotiations for the
purchase of Forney's Philadelphia Press
by Col. A. X. Mcclure, has fallen
through. The administration politicians,
though they have affected to despise the
power of the public press, have now
learned its value, consequently they
FASTENED to make such arrangements
with Forney as would still retain the
Philadelphia Press as strict party
organ. 1t is gratifying acknowledge
ment of the power of the press, that only
the recent defeat has wrung from these
case-hardened, conscienceless political
adventures.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The dispatches from Washington state
there is a combined effort being made by
ring politicians and lobbyists to procure
the reinstatement of Supervising Archi-
tect Mullett to the place from which he
was SO deservedly kicked out. No doubt
pitt. There is too much involved. Null
lett has year by year dispensed millions
upon millions Of this sorely taxed ma
tons money, and as to how it is gone.
all know that. 1t is matter of public
notoriety that every public building
erected by the Government, costs from
four to ten times more than the necessa-
ry outlay, and it is not difficnlt to inn
agine how that surplus cost is applied.
During the last few years great number
of large aud expensive public buildings
have been commenced and some erected,
and it is safe to assert that in every one
OF them somebody received something
that was never earned. Mullett, from
the very fact that he is supported by such
an ascertained rascal as Shepherd, of
Washington, and the rest of the ring
thieves. is very sufficient testimony that
he was in league with them in the shame
full Distric. frauds, Of which the safe
burglary is the logical corollary. He
was also concerned in that famous Sen,
eca sandstone Job, that pretty little en-.
terprise in which so many of the promi.
nent men of Washington had share.
That interesting undertaking was unfort
innate, and got blown upon, and though
Mullett did his best 10 keep it going by
using what he well knew was inferior
and worthless material, when the peopl'
were paying for the best, still that wa
not enough, and the Seneca Sandstone
Company is now bankrupt. Still Null
let's comrades wish to keep him il
Office. Certainly they do. 1t pays t.
keep him there; but for his reinstatement
there is lion in the path, and that il
Secretary Bristow. If Mullett stays
Bristow goes. If Bristow goes, wha
will the country say; that the first hon
est and competent Secretaryof the Treas
nry the country has been blessed witt
since McCulloch, has been turned out t
give petty officer an opportunity t
award contracts at fancy prices to pal
ties who know we'll the abstruse scienC
of addition, division and silence.

RUMORs.

Reports by telegraph and mail still
repeat the rumor that the admin
istration majority in the House OF
Representatives intend to make wild
work during the short session. 1t is said
that the Clayton Dorsey gang Of rascals
with gag law Poland to help them, are
quite jubilant over some scheme of infa-
my, by which the unhappy State Of Ar
kansas will again be given to them as
prey to tho spoiler. Tom Scott, of Penn
sylyania, is laying his plans for a S1o,-
900, 900 grab. The Union and Central
Pacific are also ready to get their share
of the plumber. These and many more
discreditable schemes are openly dis
cussed with apparently some strong
hopes of being successful. We hope
these cormorants are reck oning without
their host, and we believe they are. II
they are not, the doom of the Republi-
can party is sealed, and it will as surely
pass out of existence as did the Wing
Party after the campaign of 1852. But
we hope for better things, and base those
hopes on the following grounds: The
Republican party Of the present day ia
divided into two bodies. One, aud vastly
the larger one, is composed of the mass
Of the party who, actuated only by q
sincere desire to do their duty as eiti
zens, endeayor to perform the obliga

bers of the body polite, in thu
best manner their abilities ant
knowledge will permit. The othel
is composed Of tho office seekers anc
holders. This latter is again to be sub
divided into two divisions. One OF

no improper, corrupt or mercenary con

Of their duties; tAe other is formed o
