EAST AND WEST JOIN HANDS.

The Press and Herald supported
Andrew johnson In the election for
congressman for the State at large, and
its present wise and conciliatory course
is another strong indication of the
union and harmony that is likely to
pervade the ranks of the Democrats
and Conservatives in the November
election. Indeed, in every part of the
State the clements antagonizing Radi-
calism are moving cautiously and
wisely. The various county
papers throughout the State
tell the same story as to the
conciliatory movements of the various
meetings and committees, and of the
spirit of concession and enthusiasm.
A solid, perfect, impregnable organiza-
ton Will be effected that kill inevitably
secure a grand success. No one is
alarmed at the rant and buster of a
little squad of maleontents In West
Tennessee; for it means nothing, except
factious opposition to Democrats and
Conservatives; it represents nobody,
except inflated cyclists, disappointed
aspirants, and utterly abandoned po-
litical hacks, and it has no. future, ex-
cept shame and contempt.-Memph

TWENTY GEMS no NEW THIss.

All out of their swaddling clothes
viii remember that a State tax of
twenty cents has been tried before,
with what result We leave Mr.. W. Nor
row to state In his report as State
Treasurer, to the Legislature, Oct. l,
1871, he said:
Il do not know that it will be seri-
ousIy proposed at the present session TO
reduce the rate of taxation below sixty
cents on the hundred dollars. In view
of the admitted blunder of the last
Legislature in reducing the tay to zoe.
for 1870, and then being forced, by the
necessities of the State, TO raise to 6Oc.
for 1871, hardly think the experiment
will be repeated soon. The argument
used by some of our ablest public jour
mails. that the people cannot bear to
be taxed to pay interest on the public
debt Just now, has no force in the
present state of affairs. 1t is now
over two years since we paid interest
on the public debt, and With the tax of
this year, at the same rate for 1872,
can safely say we will not be in con-
dition to resume interest payments
prior 10 January 1874, if then. The
holders Of our bonds, so far as my OBJ
servatiOn goes, do not expect US to pay
interest under two years, but we owe
1t to ourselves to see that it is not de-
layed beyond that time. There are
worse evils tnan the burdens of taxa
ton. The loss of credit. both public
and private. in the money markets of
the world, the prolongation, unneces-
sarily, of any course of action that
would bring discredit upon the fair
fame of our State, and cause the honor
and ultimate good intentions of Ten
nessee, in regard to her home and bond
ed debt, TO rest, even temporarily, I'M
der a cloud of suspicion, would be but
the very poorest OF compensation to us,
or to those who are to come after us,
for the transient relief afforded now by
a reduced rate of taxation"
We invite our readers to go back and
reperuse the above leisurely. Remem-
Der that the then State Treasurer, Mr..
w. MDffON, Is III uO mlSC 4uSAAelACh WIN
the present Administration. The
above was written before the present
funding law had even been preached.
The time set by Mr.. Morrow for re-
sumption was January, 1874, while the
law has given six months further time.
In order to resume, Mr.. Morrow urged
that the rate Of sixty cents should be
retained for 1872. The Legislature did
not do this, but reduced it to forty
cents, and yet the object has been &C
complished. These are telling facts,
coming from such a source. The re-
duction to twenty cents in 1870, when
we were paying no interest whatever,
was an admitted blunder." Need we
say more?

UNwRITrEN HISTORY.

The latest development IN the con-
troversy between Messrs. Hill and Ste
phens is a very moderate, gracefully
written paper from the former, giving
the '.unwritten history of the Hamp-
ton Roads Conference" There is
nothing startling in this document ex-
cept an almost entire absence of in
vectiye against Mr. Stephens. This is
surprising, and is attributable
probably to an afterthought to
the effect that it is not the
part of greatness to wage personal
warfare like that.
In writing this chapter of history,
Mr.. Hill is only carrying out the prom
Use implied in the historical address
when>he said: Il will not give that
history now" But the chapter can
hardly be said to add anything
material to the knowledge which
the public already possesses. He now
promises to give the 'unwritten his
tory OF the removal of Johnston"
Mr.. Stephens, We suppose, is taking
evidence as to the whereabouts Of Mr..
Hill at the time Of the Hampton Roads
affair. In the article concerning tina.
conference, Mr.. Hill casually remarks:
Tt is curious that those who found SO
much to qurrel with in Mr.. Davis and
tbe Confederate laws have found so lit
tie to quarrel with in the most striking
nrsurpation of those who were then
our enemies and are now our oppres-
sors.
1t is curious from the standpoint
which Mr.. Hill has occupied without
an interval ever since the close OF the
war. He is the most pertinacious
complainant in the country. There
are three standpoints, however, which
ne invariably ignores-those Of the de-
PENDANT, theattorney andtheJudge. One
of these is as good, other things equal,
as his own, and the other two are de-
cidedly better.

The people Of montgomery have
spoken as they always speak-wlth no
Uncertain sound. In the following res
olutions, adopted at a mass meeting
held at GAINESVILLE, ON Monday last, are
enunciated the principles, and the only
principles, upon which the Democracy
can triumph in the coming State can
vass:
Resolved, that it is the duty Of all
good citizens to make united effort to
secure the most competent and reliable
men for Office, that the laws may be
executed impartially, and the burdens
of taxation be distributed equally
among all classes.
2. That the people of Montgomery
county will require the most rgid econ
omy in the administration of the Of
ficers of the State and viii condemn
any system of taxation that will bring
to the treasury larger sum Of money
than will be absolutely necessary to
pay the expenses of government, and
to preserve the credit of the State.
But, believing that sound policy and
common honesty equally require that
the credit of the State shall be preserved
by the payment of the interest upon the
public debt, and, unloiIling to cast upon
our children the t0hoIe bssrthen Of its
payment, the people iCiil condemn any
rereaue system that IeaUes the payment
| of the interest not prouided for.
8. That taxation should be equal and
uniform, and no one species of proper
ty be taxed higher than another.
4. That we recognize the equality,
before the law, of all citizens, ard
that in the selection of candidates for
Office, capacity and honesty shall bethe
tests of merit, without regard to ma
tionality or former political predilec-
tons.
5. That all efforts to array one race
or class against another, are odious TO
the genius of the American Govern
ment, destructive of public peace and
prosperity, and subyersive OF Rupub-
lican institutions.
6. That the agricultural and mechan-
ical interests Of our country are the
foundation of its prosperity, and that
wisdom and justice demand that these
interests shall be protected against the
exactions of monopolies, and should
be fostered by judicious legislation.

THE BELLIGERENr GOvERNORs.

We give below an extract from pri-
Yate letter received in this city yester-
day from a gentleman in Little Rock
who is well posted in regard to the sit
uation in Arkansas. 1t gives a histe
~ of the Gubernatorial difficulty in a
commendable spirit of candor and
frmness:
enclose you in another packet two num-
bers of the ARKANSAS Gazette, which will
enable you to form some idea of the Bax-
Textbooks fight or quarrel. II is really a
disgraceful affair so far as Brooks
is concerned, as Gov. Baxter
was getting along peaeeably and
quietly in administering the Government
to The satisfaction of everybody, except a
few adherents of Brooks, Clayton and 9TH
ers. The voice Of the citizens OF the State,
so far as can ascertain from conversations
with parties from various parts o. the
State, is decidedly in favor of Baxter, and
indicate a desire to reinstate him in Office,
whether fairly elected or not. His oppO-
neiit, Brooks. ran on compromise ticket,
composed of Democrats, Conservatives nd
disafitcted Republicans or Radicals. No
doubt there were thousands of frauds
perpeirated in the election, as usual, and it
Is difficult to say With certainty which was
legally elected. The faction OF Radicals
then i'm power manipulated the returns so
as to elect Baxter, who was the candidate
of that wing of the party, and he was in
augurated. But before the close of the las
session of the Legislature, lie clearly showed
thst he was too honest 10 suit their pur-
poses, and then the parties who
counted him in set IL work TO
GUST him and have Brooks in
augIIrated in his stead, the latter having
made friends with them for the purpose Of
getting TO be Governor. The Legislature
decided against him, and Baxter has been
peaceabiy exercising the duties of the office
TO the satisfaction or the people generally,
until the late trouble commenced and
Brooks, by coup de main, succeeded in
getting possession of the Office and State
house. Baxter is cOntending for his
restoration, and hope viii sue
coed. If President Grant had done
right, Brooks would have been over
thrown ere this. The present signs are
greatly in favor of Baxter, and hope he
will be restored al the meeting Of the call
ed session on the 18th inst. il not before.
The President could end the contest In a
day. if he would assume the responsibility
and give peace to our community without

YOUNG MEN THE HOPE OF THE
COUNTRY
New York Times.

New YORK Times.
The ambition to take an active part
in the government of ones State or
country ought never to be deemed "be-
meath" any man. The only way, after
all, to elevate public life is to get the
educated class to go into it with the
same energy and vigor which the scala
wags, unfortunately, too often display.
The hope of the country is in the
young Americans of the day-the ma
tive-born sons of the old stock, who
have a Just pride in their country, and
who ought to be the natural enemies
of the predatory gang who now infest
the avenues to public life.

THE Pulaski Citizen Of yesterday
thus squelches the rumor that Govern
or Brownis a prospective candidate
for Congress from that district;
Having been surprised at the repeat
ed statement in the Banner that
Governor John c. Brown would
be a candidate to represent this
district in the House of Rep
resentatives of the next Congress, We
were prompted, on a recent casual
meeting with that gentlemen, to ask
the truth of the report. He unhesi-
tatingly replied that under no con-
ceiTable circumstances whatever would
he be a candidate for that position.
We did not inquire nor did he state
whether, under proper and fitting
circumstances, he would be a candidate
for the United States Senate

THEvIsCIssITUDEs OF OILDoM.


It looks as if Oil City PENN will soon
be a thing of the past, adding yet another
to the list of mushroom cities which grew
up with the oil production and as swiftly
dxindled away. Wells which at one time
produced from 200 to 1000 barrels per day
now only give from 10 to Is, and even this
only by persistent pumping. Butler
county is now the great oil region, and
Petroleum Centre, Oil City and other
oleaginous places ars as unstable as water.
The recent " shutting down. by the pro-
ducers has had the natural effect of making
matters still more dis ourdging, and drillers
and workmen are not satisfied with the
proceedings. Not only are the inhabitants
leaving but they even take their houses
along with them, so that it is very easy to
calculate the decrease of population.
Portable habitations would be most advisa-
bic for sojourners in the oil country, as
there is something exceedingly ephemeral
about terrestrial situation there.
