TIE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

It seems to afford the Press and
Heraid great pleasure that certain Re
publican papers in this Congressional
district are 80 prosecuting the Con-
cre>siOnal canvass as to make it im-
possible for them to support the
nominee of The Republican party in
case he be other than their candidate.
We are not surprised at the pleasure il
affords our contemporary. 1t has only
been "A wonder to US that these papers
did not themselves see the disadvan-
tage in which they placed themselves
aud their friends. Their attacks upon
the CHRONICLE are likewise crafty
ing to the Democratic press, especially
the Press and Herald. Having fail
ed, even by publishing paper
FOR half price To make any impression
whatever upon the constantly increas
iug circulation Of the CHRONICLE, it
very eagerly uses every unfriendly
word published by the papers to which
w have referred. Their opposition to
u is not unexpected but can easily be
exp aimed. Believing that it would
be unjust to many very meritOrious
candidates for county offices, who are
aspiring to positions. upon their
personal qualifications, to drag into
their canvass outside issues, we have
refused to embarrass them or the people
by forcing Congressional or Gubernato-
rial questions upon them to embarrass
voters at the August election, In due
time we shall open our columns to a
fair discussion of the merits Of Con-
gressiOnal and Gubernatorial candi.
dates, but not in spirit to provoke
divisions among friends or give aid and
comfort TO the opposition. We do not
aspire to dictate nominations to the
Republicans Of this district, as they
well know. 1t has never been our
policy heretofore, and will not be here
after. If our course has been such as
to make our judgment in such matters
of weight to our friends and readers, II
is cause for congratulation to us, as IL
seems to be Of much bitterness and
sorrow to our enemies.

The Bristol Courier in summing up
the charges of corruption against Ten
nessee Democracy, aludes to the
charge of "A " Penitentiary Ring" and
says:
In answer to this we will say that
the Conservatives found the peniten-
tiary idle, and in debt largely. Now
ii pays the State about 1913 900 per an
mum.
Yes, but responsible parties were
ready to pay $4,000 per annum, and
were not allowed to do So How about
that?
The same paper disposes Of the charge
in reference to Public Printing
Ring " rs follows:
We will say, that during the reign
of Radicalism, the pay Of the Public
Printer was raised 50 per cent and
that the first Conservative Legislature
reduced it % per cent.--leaving il only
25 per cent. higher than before the
war.
The Legislature did this it is true,
but the Public Printers made up for it
10y charging twice for the same work,
and then the Legislature came to their
relief by whitewashing " them.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The canvass for county officers in
many of the counties of Middle and
West Tennessee is assuming n bitter
party character. The Democratic press
of Nashville, Memphis, and other
points are doing their best to give it
such Il shape. An effort is made by
the Nashville papers to drive white
Republicans from the support of the
ticket by denouncing it as Black and
Tan ~ ticket, &c. The Nashville Ban
ncr demands that on the part of the
part Of the Democracy, there shall be
" no scratching" 1t says of the ticket
recently nominated there by
regular Democratic Convention !:
1--WE hold that there is no
safety to the great public interests of
this county, but in the election of the
county ticket clean hrOugh,' &c. We
refer to these evidences OF bitter par
tisan spirit in the other parts of the
State only to ask the Republicans Of
East Tennessee and specially Of Knox
county if they can aflorl to give com.
fort to the opposition by divisions in
their rank in the present contest? Is
it time for us to be divided when the
opposition everywhere is united, ag-
gressive and bitter? The August cleo
tions are taken as an indication of the
results to follow in November. 1t is
important, therefore, that we should
not forget the significance of the re.
suit in August, Is it not worth
united and earnest effort at the polls
next month? There is a species of
opposition to the Republican ticket
agreed upon by the Knox county
committee some weeks ago that is
without excuse or reason, so far as it
comes from those who submitted their
claims to it and to abide by its decision.
1t was fairly and openly managed, and
charges to the contrary are false. That
committee called to arbitrate between
the rival candidates was, and is cumpoS.
ed of the best men in the county, and
every charge against them offered is
ridiculous, and voters should so treat
IT,

IN lengthy editorial in the Nash
vile Banner on the subject of the
Democratic State Convention, we find
the following paragraph :
If the record of one party is vulrer-
able-so is that of the other The
Democratic party, therefore, can not
hope to succeed mainly upon the de-
merits of its competitor. Thou must
pluck the beam from thine own eye,
our good Democratic brother. aud per
NIT the mote to obscure the Repubi-
can optic until thine own salvation is
secured beyond peradventure.
The sentiment herein expressed is
worthy of commentator. 1t applies
to individuals as well as parties. Show
Us man who expects to rise on the
dement's Of another, and we will show
you a man who is not to be trusted.
Let man stand or fall upon his own
merits. II he has qualifications which
recommend him to the people, he will
not hesitate to rely upon them. II he
is filthy himself, and hot willing 10
have his own character closely investi-
gated, he will try to divert public at
tention to something else All men
have their faults and foibles. No man is
perfect. The people in the selection of
those who are to occupy positions of
honor and trust want them to appear
before them upon their own merits,
and not upon the dement's Of those
whom they would defeat.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1874-07-15

ONE characteristic of the Republi-
can party is that It toleratrs "a differ.
ence of opinion and encourages free
interchange of views upon minor
questions. This is right and proper.
But when Republicans differ with each
other, either as TO men or measures,
they should have due regard for those
who do not agree with them. When
we have occasion to discuss with n po-
litical opponent who is gentleman,
we always treat him as such. We will
certainly do the same for our political
friends when we disagree with them.
Without this we need not expect har-
mony in our ranks, and without har-
mony we need not expect success. He
who scatters discord among those with
whom he processes to be friendly aud
thus throws them into the power Of
their enemies is II hypocrite and is not
to be trusted.
We appeal to our friends
who are in antagOnism towards
each other, TO remember that we all
profess to entertain the same political
sentiments, and that we have enough
to fight without fighting among our.
selves. We must tolerate the views OF
each other, for If we turn our batteries
upon our friends, our enemies will, as
matter of course, gain the battle. If
we are engaged i'm race for the spoils
only, and care nothing about princi
pies, it matters very little who wins ;
but this is not the case, we trust. In
| fighting in any good cause, men are
frequently called upon to make con-
cessions to each other, aud the man
who never comedies anything to his
fellow is not likely to succeed in any
| thing.
To our Republican friends everys
where we say, harmony is necessary to
success. If Republicans in East Ten
/ nessee stand by each other and by the
| principles of their party, success is
certain. The prospect is just as good
as ever it was, aud if we do not win
the day and victory does not perch upon
our standard, it will be our own fault.

THE Union and american, with q
sheer, alludes to the attempt to pull
down the American flag near Lime
stone OH the 4th Of July, as reported
in the Herald and Tribune, and says
that the hosting of the flag was
" thought to bea political trick" Pc.
itical trick indeed Whoever heard
ofso preposterous an idea? A "polit-
zeal trick To hoist the stars and
stripes. An old man who was always
true to his flag wants to unfurl it on
the anniversary of his country's Dir h
day, and a leading newspaper, the
Democratic organ of the State, discoV-
ers that it is political rick. -
Take notice, old men of East 'Tennes~
see-you who had sons in the Federal
army-you must keep the flag under
which they fought, bied and died, care.
fully concealed, for fear you are charg-
ell with getting up political trick -
Time once was, when everybody look
ed TO see the American flag on the 4th
of July, streaming from every public
building (aud as many private ones a.
desired) and at the head of every pro-
cession, and it has been reserved to the
leading Democratic organ Of The State,
to discover in these latter days, that to
aise the flag Is IA political trick.n

THE text of the decision of the
United States Circuit Court in the
Wisconsin Railroad case is before us.
In addition to the notice heretofore
given of it, it is important to note that
in the opionion of the Court Justice
Davis says that the reservation of the
State Constitution that charters of
railroads may be altered or repealed
by the Legislature ut any time after
their passage" gives t. the Legi-Ia-
turr the power To regulate rates Of
transportation, 80 far rs the State is
concerned, hut that it has not the
authority to regulate charges upon
freights going beyond the State
line. To assume this pow
er To regulate inter. State commerce
would bring the State in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States,

choice for that position. This will be
gratifying 10 Eb.-perhaps.

the rains have been 80 constant it is
growing into stalk, and grass and
weeds are flourishing, and engender

then occasional genial showers, this
section will produce full crop"
