A CARD.
Paragraphs from Doak's Tobacco Leaf,
Oct. 21st, Commented upon by O.
M. BIackman.

1T strikes us that the distinction
between an old Democrat elected by
Radical votes, and Radical is a dis
tinction without difference"
How is it then in Davidson county,
when three of the candidates for the
Legislature, nominated and supported
by the Democratic party, are the same
three identical men nominated and
supported by the Radical party?
He further says, speaking of the
Radical party: 1T is obviously their
interest to support such a man"
Most undoubtedly it is to their in
terest, and it is obviously the interest
of the people of Montgomery county,
no matter to what political party they
belong, to support just such a man
one who has the will and the courage
to protect their interest against ring
formed and composed of ten lawyers,
one banker, one honorable, several NJ.
DIS and tobacco speculator-detailed
and commissioned by the great head
center to go forth into every districtin
the county to teach the people how
and for whom they shall vote.
"A government surveying party is
laying off the northern boundary line
between this country and the British
possessions. We understand Black
man has secured position as chain
bearer"
If | have secured that position, l
don't think the citizens of the city of
GAINESVILLE and the county of Mont
gomery will ever be taxed to pay me
for that work. Tell us who composed
the surveying party and who were the
chain bearers and other officers who
laid off, surveyed and conducted the
affairs of the so called Princeton Rail
road? and what has become of that
little party? Will Commodore
Doak please explain? Also please
give us any information you may have
on hand relative to the management
and sale of our Louisville Railroad.
The people would be glad to know
something about it.
"Mr. Wines made a Blackman
speech at the Court House Saturday
night"
Suppose he did, didn't he have a
right to make a speech? or should he
have first asked and obtained permit
from the great head center of the
ring, before he proceeded to make any
remarks? That's freedom.
Honorable mention has been made
of nearly all the ring members who
have been out and spoke their piece at
the different precints. Why not say
something about Kennedy's court
house speech, or DIR. NorthingtoD' S

MAYNARD cORNERED.
What He Found 0at in the Comptrol.

Immediately after the speaking, Sat
urday afternoon, Mr. Maynard hastily
ly entered the Comptroller's Office, and
demanded to see the original paper
showing that he had received 500 for
sitting as a special Judge of the Su-
preme Court, in 1867, and drawing pay
as Congressman at the same time. 0
copy of which document had been pro-
duced with such telling effect BY Judge
Forter during the speaking. The re-
quest was complied with, whereupon
MIR. Maynard examined it critically.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

There is tide in the affairs of"
countries, as we'll as of individuals,
which, if taken at the food, leads OIL"
TO the triumph of liberty and justice,
peace and prosperity. That tide has
set in from the North, and it will be
criminal follyit We. of the South, meet
it with a counter-current of division
and disorganization. The elections
just over, in Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia, prove the Importance of
unity, in purpose and action, and their
gain of thirteen Democratic Congress
men, and one in Iowa, the most Radi-
cal of New England colonies in the
North west, holds out prospect of
relief to the South, which ought to
stimulate its anti-Radical population
to stand together, as one man, resolved
that not vote shall be lost by giving
it, nominally, to an Independent can
didate, but, practically, to the Radical
party. With gain of fourteen votes
in the House, won in the October cleo
tons, we are encouraged to hope for
still larger gains in November, and
thus be enabled to draw the fangs of
the Radical viper, whose virus has
poisoned the life-blood of the whole
body polite. There should be, in
November, noble and patriotic emu
latiou between the two sections, as to
which shall return the largest proper
tional number gof honest, patriotic
members to the next Congress. And
It especially devolves upon those States
in the South, not yet bristllng with
federal bayonets, to use every exertion
to cover any loss of representative
Conservatives that may be occasioned
by means of Grants policy of coercion
and intimidation.
We had hoped, when representative
Conventions, fairly gotten up, had
made their nominations, that the voice
of discord would not be heard in Ten
nessee. But we had temporarily for
gotten that there were discounted spirits
even in Heaven, and that Devil was
not wanting to lead the indictments to
to his, and their ruin. Heaven was
not good enough for them, and they
exchanged it for a hell. Those rest
less spirits have their representatives
on earth, and are at no loss to find
leaders who emulate their great proto-
type. This element comes to the sur
face whenever and wherever political
mischief can be done, in the name of
liberty and a spurious independence.
This State constitutes no exception to
the rule-those political evil-doers are
abroad and in our midst and it should
be the pleasure and the duty of all
conscientious conservatives to see to it
that they are not dragged into the hell
of Radicalism. under the specious plea
that they are only asserting the right
of independence of imaginary rings
and cliques.

Has A. j. in any of his speeches,
expressed any statesman like views, or
laid down any policy by which the con-
ditions of the State can be improved
On the contrary, he Celebrates but two
ideas-the first is that he must be
made Senator; the second is that
John c. Brown must not be. In all
else his speeches are TRADES ofabuse of
othersi and ingenious laudations of
himself. If the Independents do not
see the trick, no one can be surprised
at the position they take in relation to
parties.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1874-10-24

We ask the Independents, in all
kindness and sincerity, to tell us what
they expect to accomplish by creating
division and confusion? Do they ex-
pect to build up new party? That
is hopeless undertaking, unless they
lay down some platform of principles
so obviously wise and practicable as to
produce a rush from the old parties to
the new one. But if they contemplate
nothing more noble and patriotic than
to defeat the party that holds con-
ventions which do not nominate men
of their choice, then they are engaged
in a business that will bring them
neither honor nor profit, but subjects
them to well founded suspicion of un-
worthy and selfish motives from which
can result nothing but political mis-
chief. Let them speak out. or abandon
their disorganizing policy.

thought for sometime l would give
you some of the views on county
affairs Of nearly every voter (white) in
this and Of district No. 1. We would
have the Office of County Judge
abolished, because we think We could
sgeton very we'll without it, and by SO
doing large sum would be saved to
the county-there are counties ada
cent to this which have no such Office,
and they are doing better financially,
and probably as well, otherwise, as We
are. We would like for the Magis-
trates to assess the taxes, abolish the
Office of Tax Collector and put the
collection of the taxes into the hands
of the Constables, allowing them q
per cent. for collecting, by this ar
rangement We would have more COM
petent men in that Office, and by re-
quiring them to settle in four or six
months, after receiving the books, the
taxes would be collected sooner and
cleaner than under the present plan,
and should one prove defaulter it would
not Illustrate the county to the extent
that it does now, nor would it be so
heavy on their (or his) bondsmen. We
would like to have the Trustee and
Register merged into the County
Clerkship, and then sir, we would like
to have as many of the Offices filled By
appointment as would be safe, so that
elections might be few and far be-
tween, and then stop all perquisites.
allow an officer plainly stated salary,
and when he gets that his services are
paid for. There should be changes,
the county is in debt-why not econo-
mize at every practical point? the
above changes we think would be for
the good of the county-then why
shall We not have them?
Again, aaoay up here in this end of
the county we are opposed to the
school-tax, (and We are not by our
selves in this either consequently are
opposed to public schools, from the
fact they are very inefficient, do but
little good and they materially injure
private schools, but if the Legislature
thinks best to continue them let's dis
pense with State and County Superin-
tendents we have no use for State
Superintendent, and one of the Direct
ors of each District could do all in
his District that is required of the
Superintendent, and at much less cost.
Thus a Uery large sum would be saved
and the schools could be continued
much longer each year. One more
like to hare and I'm through for this
time, "a. e. that the next Legislature
pass pound-law, the reasons are so
