KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 8.
DEAR GAZETTE Our people are
expecting a treat through the columns
of next Tuesdays Chronicle. Sena-
tor BrowElow will, it is said, ventillate
the Rev. Mr.. Bartlett. of Maryyille
mired College, in a style peculiar to
the Senator. The old hero is waxing
warm, and if his physique fails not
we may expect a regular reoi0at dis
course, adapted to the times, such
an one as used to % fire the Southern
heart" and make Mr.. Prime shake
in his boots.
The Estate Car Choir whose
singing 1 referred to in my last, was
composed of thirty-seven young
misses, some of whom were borrowed
for the occasion from rebel ftIpities,
who were willing to help bridge over
the "bloody chasm,'' if possible, but
are not willing to sacrifice their no.
BILE old Chieftain ION a sour apple
tree" though the chasm should deep
en- to the depths beneath, and widen
from pole to pole. Selah!
If the managers OF the next dec
Grafton day desire to introduce songs
to yea, and airs to m0rtify, they will
have to mia in a little of the Grace
and color without reference to for
mer condition, in order to run the
machine smooth, and not rely upon
rebel aid and comfort.
The " mixture [ suggest, have a
natural huHLering after music, and
especially national airs, such as
/ "we'n hang gcf Davis on a sour apple tree"
and
John Browns body lies mould'ring in the ground
and will sing them loud enough to
satisfy the 8 Chief Marshall " Of the
| funerM calUaIcdde.
The season for pic-nEcs and straw
berry festivals and SIGH like, is about
over. and our people arc beginning to
realize the reality, and are feeling
round for money to pay tdDeS, and as
the Collector is not candidate fol-

From the Bristol co,srter. June $.

If there ever was a time when
harmony should pervade the ranks
Of the Conservative party, the pres
ent is that time. By our discussions
we lost five Congressman from our
State in the last canvass. Four of
the members elected by the Repub-
licans through the discussions in our
party, voted to take up the Civil
Rights bill. The measure may not
be disposed of by the present Con-
gress, and it stands us IN hand to
elect every man to the 44th Con-
gress we possibly can. This can on
" be done by harmony and good feel
ing in our ranks from Johnson to
Shelby. LET PLACE-HUNTERS
AND DEMAGOGUES TAKE A
BACK SEAT; LET THE PARTY IN
EACH DISTRICT SELECT IT'S
BEST MAN AND UNITE ON HIM.
BY THIS COURSE WBCAN GAIN
SEVERAL MEMBERS. Harmony
is the word. Pass it round

RAILROAD CHARGES.

THE FREIGnTs ON EAST TESNtssEE
PRODUCTS ARE TOO h9eHE.
Recurring to Railroad fteights,
and to our closing remark of last
week. that we Thought them entirely
Goo high. We resume the subject by
saying, after a weeks deiiberation
and some Investigations, that we
are Of Ire same opinion still. We
believe East Tennessee farmers an
nually pay hundreds of thousands
OF dollars unjustly in the way of ex-
cessive charges. 1t is true, las we
gave it credit for last week. so far
as the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Road is concerned, that
since the consolidation it has made
material reductions in its local rates.
These rates are much too high for
justice yet. They we're shamefully
high, years ago. The reduction is
step in the right direction. What
we insist Upon is that it, and other
connecting fines, make another step,
and another. and another, until juss
flee is meted out to those, and all
those. whose rights are affected.
It may be, and doubtless is, true
that our East Tennessee Roads are
working for as small and smaller
local rates than some other lines
which have no great competition
This is good, so far as it goes. And
if these roads had been constructed
with private capital, The people
ought to be thankful for this much.
But we insist that since most of
She railroads in Tennessee were
built mainly through the liberalTty
of the people, extended through
their legislators, that the people
have absolute rights in regard to
them among these rights is the
right to have their produce freighted
TO market at merely remunerative
rates; especially so in these hard
fines. IF the legislature, by the
grant of charters to these companies,
has placed in the hands of a few
men the power to control the pros
perity of the masses at will, and
check it by high freights when they
see fit, then the legislature over
stepped the proper bounds; and if
the railroad companies see proper to
use this power to the detriment of
the general prosperity then oce are
for taking this power from them, by
legislation, If it may be done IF
not, then by constitutional amend
ment.
But are their rates too high? The
men who control them think not.
General opinion with which we con.
cur is against them. We think Che
following figures pretty strong ar
gument on She question. The East
Tennessee, Virginia and G eorgia road
from Bristol TO Dalton rs 240 hsiIes
long. A freight train would make this
distance and return in four days,
running time. Now what will it
cost the road to make this trip, with,
say fifteen ears?

A Western editor thinks that the
habit of carrying tobacco in the pis-
toll pocket is a bad one. To meet
a man on lonely road and see him
reach for his tobacco box suggests
unpleasant probabilities.

The above are the tariff rates on
these articles. The prices Of labor
allowed, we think, are the highest
rates paid. The price per mile for
cars and rate per day for engine are
the customary rates among roads,
according to our information. The
time allowed for round trip is longer
than is required. Every allowance
is in favor of the railroadl And
what do we see?

Let as now add $3.50 to the debit
side for other necessary expenses,
and make it cost $500 for the round
trip, and have we rot thus covered
every expense? IF not, we stand
ready to correct the error.
We believe these fgures to be at
least fair to the railroad. And they
show an enormous extortiOn-one
that amounts to at least ten
cents on every bushel of grain ship
ped over the road.
We will recur to the subject again.
