port they will give the ticket, the Led
ger says:
As a class, they are unitedly in favor
OF the civil rights infamy, and we have
yet - see the fist one opposed to it.
There are not FIVE hundred whites, if
two hundred, in the county who favor
mixed schools; hence, any man nomi-
mated on the ticket and accepting
expects 10 rely upon the negroes for
election, and commits himself squarely
against the white people of the county.
This is the issue, and there is no dodg-
ing it. We are aware that few men
in the community would crawl on their
bellies for Office, but we pity the Con-
servative or Democrat creature who
can betray his Own race and kindred
for filthy mess of official pottage. As
to those who have been consistent Re-
publicans all the time, however, we
may differ from them, they have a
defensible position, and we have no
invectives to pour on their heads. But
the deserter, if such there be, enjoys
no respect and little liberation with
either party; he may get his price, but,
like Judas, he will at least feel like
going out alone and hanging himself.
Such a man is unfit for the society of
his old or his new friends, and all the
| gold he can gather into his greedy
clutches will never buy self-respect or
social position. He will hereafter be a
moral Ishnaelite, with every mans
hand against him.
There is not word printed above
that does not apply with equal force in
Davidson county.

DIRECr TRADE WITH EUROPE

We were pleased to meet yesterday
Mr.. j. n. Robson, a highly esteemed
citizen and commission merchant of
Charleston, from whom we received a
very encouraging report touching the
direct trade movement set on foot In
Charleston some months ago, of which
mention has been made several times
in these columns. Mr.. Robson informs
US that the city has just closed a con-
tract with Prof. Mallifert, an eminent
engineer, who binds himself to clear
out the Pumpkin Hill Shoals so as to
deepen the channel and give vessels
twenty-five feet water. This he says will
give Charleston the best barbor on the
Atlantic, and insures it direct trade
with Europe for which earnest efforts
Will be made. Two citizens of Charles
ton viii visit Europe in the course of
a month or so, to confer with
manufacturers in England especially
in regard to establishing depots in that
city for the sale and distribution of
their wares, which can be brought over
during the simmer months wien
freights are scarce, and at very low
rates. 1t is hoped that much will be
accomplished by this visit toward in
augurating direct trade with Europe.
Mr.. Robson is very sanguine that the
movement will result in success, and
that the South and West, as well as
Charleston, will be greatly benefited
by it. There is not a doubt that the
establishment of line of ships be-
tween Charleston and Liverpool would,
with the cooperation of our railroads
greatly cheaper freights between Eu-
rope and points in the South, and rs
far west as st. Louis.

COMMENTING on Gov. Kemper's
third term letter, the Mobile Register,
edited by John Forsyth, makes this
vigorous protest against the scheme:
IF Gen. Grant wants to try his hand
for third term, let him run on hisown
strength, or let the Radicals carry him
If they can. Conservative men of all
parties would simply disgrace them
selves IN the eyes Of common sense and
common justice and propriety who IN
dertake to support the most selfish, IN
pltriotic, and unprincipled chief mag
istrate who has ever sat IN the chair of
Washington, Jefferson and Adams.
Let the South, Of all sections, beware
how they are seduced into this mon
strous folly"

Is THERE AFUNDING RING!
Memphis Appeal, July Is.


The ArdlaHche speaks of the funding
ring. If there is any funding ring we
have no knowledge of it. There may
be some men who made money by the
fuuding of the bonds and by the re.
sumption Of payment of interest, but
that was obliged to happen whenever
we might resume. If we were again
to suspend payment for four years, and
then resume payment, some men would
make money by the operation 1t may
be the policy of some to depreciate the
bonds and buy them at low rates, so as
to make handsome profits when the
State again resumes. There are no men
IN this part of the State of whom we
have any knowledge who belong to any
funding ring, or are in any way inter
ested in State bonds. We do not now,
and never have, wanted the funding
bill to be made an Issue in the canvass.
If it should be made an issue, it might
be found that it was passed by the in
fluence and the votes of men with
whom the ArdlGRche sympathised in
the last canvass-we mean men who
were elected and acted as in
dependents. We DO not intend to
make these matters issues in the can
vass. The great issue now is the odious
and abominable Civil Rights bill, and on
this issue we are in hearty accord with
the ArdLd1che. We think, from the
tone of the AUaldnche, that we will all
be united on the financial question also,
since no one proposes to increase the
rate of taxation above forty cents, and
all are in favor of reducing it if we
can without sacrificing the honor, credit
and best interests of our State. We
know of no man who proposes to in
crease the rate of taxation to sixty or
seventy cents, or to collect one cent
above what it is now, in any event.
Under some circumstances it may be
proper to reduce the rate. We think
on this question We can unite the whole
anti Radical element of the State If
we at any time correct misrepresenta-
tiOns regarding the funding or any
other law, We do not mean by so doing
to make that question an issue In the
canvass. As we are all agreed upon
the main question of preserving the
States credit, we can afford to leave
details to be adjusted hereafter.

HOW Is THIS?

The figures IN the offiGe Of tax col
lcctOr and trustee Of Warren county
show that Warren county paid over to
the State Treasurer, in January last,
1913 as poll tax for 1873 for public
school purposes. The Comptroller, in
his April disbursement Of public school
money. issued his warrant to Warren
county for 1895, as her pro rata of the
poll tax for school purposes, leaving
in the State school department SS49.
Warren is about an average county,
hence. according to this showing, 1t
takes q3xS49=S7S. 957 to run the
school system in the State department
alone. VIII those who handle the
money rise and explain: The peopleot
our county feel some interest IN the
matter. They want to know what goes
with the SS+9 which they have paid,
and for which they receive no returns;
or If all the other counties lose IN the
same ratio.
OurMcMinnville contemporary seems
to forget that the April disbursement
was a half yearly one, and according to
the figures given Warren would get
1892 out Of its SI,3l3. In this way the
account would stand 93x35l-S32,6 43
While Warren may get less
than it contributes, other counties
may get more. The poll-tax Is
levied by the voting census, while it is
distributed according to scholastic
population. If Warren county has
more men in proportion than children,
We presume the men of Warren can
remedy the matter. If this Is not sat-
isfactory, we hope the State officers
concerned viii explain,

SHELBY COUNTY'S BLACK-AND-
TAN TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the Black
and-Tan convention, which met in
Memphis last Tuesday, is represented
by the papers of that city to be one of
the weakest that could have been
placed in the field. Its makeup is as
follows:
Sheriff-S. S. Garrett.
Tax Collector. A. Gronaeur.
Trustec-R. F. Patterson.
County Court Clerk-P. j. Mulver-
hill.
Criminal Court Clerk-Andrew
Davis.
First Circuit Court Clerk. H.
Smith.
Second Circuit Court Clerk-Fred.
r. Hunt, colOred.
Bartlett CT Court Clerk-Thomas D.
Eldridge.
Register-P. NJ. Winters, Jr.
One significant feature Of the Con-
vention is noticed by the Appeal-the
war made upon the Irish, showing the
hatred which the Radicals cherish to-
ward that nationality. Not a word
was said against native Americans, ne
groes. Germans or Italians, but the
names of Irishmen were banded about
as if they were all knaves and traitors.
Col. L. Z. Dyer denounced James
Kelley, an Irishman, as a traitor; j..
A. Moon, colored delegate, assailed
Mr.. Mulvihill. and said "he had proved
a traitor to the party, having been
elected two years ago by the Repub-
licans to the Legislature, and
had gone back on the party"
Another colored delegate assault
ed an Irishman, James q. Davis.
I'VE cannot see," says the Appeal,
''how any Irishman can vote with a
party which, in convention, denOunces
and insults them. Had such a thing
been proposed in therecent Democratic
convention, the delegate attempting it
would have been Kissed and kicked out
of the convention"

LET INVESTIGATED.

OlaTkSNllle lODaCCo lcil.
Hobbs is now a matter with which
we are able to say that Burch had moth
ing in the world to do. This is a fact.
Appearances were once that be Iha' and
it was his misfortune and nObOdy's
fault that he has been the victim of
such belief. 1t was terrible misfor-
tune and the suspicion a most unjust
one. Col. Burch is entirely free from
all connection with it. We say this
because Col. Burch has rested under an
unjust suspicion and because it is our
belief that nine out of ten are cOnvinc-
ed that he was the direct recipient Of
the result of a sale of the Office Of
Comptroller, and that twas purchased
for his benefit. For Col. Burch We
care nothing further than to give him
full and entire Justice. 1t will turn
out that the Office was sold for $4,000.
and that the parties failed in their
scheme. Now let that be investigated
and the whole State government shown
to be as it is, absolutely free from all
stain.

TENNESSEE is a battle ground Of
ideas. We used this expression few
weeks since in reference to the move
mcnt against the very ancient fee and
perluisite system. Now the Indiana
Democrats touch the subject in a
singerly way. So, for months past,
arguments have been applied to State
affairs that apply with tenfold force to
national debt and taxation. BUTT was
left for l. r. Hawkins, a Republican
cz-Congressman, 10 boldly advocate
the Reputation of both State and
national indebtedness. Tennessee is a
battle-ground of ideas-the Keystone
State Of the Union, and the financial
policy of the Tennessee Democracy has
more than a local Importance.
