What Does ID Mean?

Within the last ten days the Knox
vile lhrOnicle seems to have become
decidedly alarmed lest somebody or
somebody's friends should refuse to
go into, or abide the action of a Con-
gressional nominating Convention,
should one be held; thereby endan-
gering success for the present, and in
addition sowing the seeds of future
discord. We dislike to be driven
to the point of questioning either the
sanity, sobriety or sincerity of our
contemporary, but in this instance we
feel that it leaves us little room to
credit it with all these requisites to
reliability. That its pretended ap-
prehensions are pointed at Judge
Houk and his friends there can be no
sort of doubt. And yet it cannot be
ignorant Of the fact that Judge Houk,
days ago, in public speech, in the
presence of six or eight hundred
people declared his willingness
to abide the action of any convention
that the Republican party of the
District might think proper to hold,
and IN aohich the real people were
fairly represented. Would the
Chronicle ask him, or any other Re-
publican aspirant, to submit his claims
to or respect the action of any other
kind of Convention? The REpUBLI-
CAN defined its position upon this
subject two weeks ago and need not
restate it here. In so far as the two
London papers are concerned Ito
which specific reference is made) they
are capable Of speaking for them
selves. However, we may be per
mitted to say that we have not seen,
in the columns of either, single
line that could be construed into
opposition 10 any fair, honest repre-
sentative convention it may be found
expedient to hold. Nor have we met
a single friend of Judge Houk, any
where, who does not seem equally as
anxious for harmony, and quite as
ready to make every reasonable con
cession in order to secure ID as those
of any other man whose name has
been mentioned as candidate, only
asking that in any convention that
may be held, fat and untrammeled
expression Of the wishes Of the
masses of the people shall be had.

1t crops out occasionally in the
Democratic journals that we are to
have triangular race in this Con
gressional District, and that w. A,
Henderson is to come into the con-
test, bearing the Democratic banner.
Henderson is prominent lawyer OF
the Knoxville bar, and a man of parts
generally, and will make the canvass
interesting to the parties who repre-
sent the other side. He will COM
mand the full strength of his party,
unless the Bourbons of Monroe
county, who constitute the Locofoco
wing of the Democratic party and
make jacksonville their head centre,
interfere and write letters, urging
their friends to vote for Thornburgh
and giving the old reason, that he is
as good a Democrat as they want

Col. ]. NJ. Thornburgh,,, before leav-
ing for the mountain counties last
week, received information that the
Conservatives, in convention assem-
bled here on Monday, not having a
man in their own party whom they
could elect Attorney General, I would
probably nominate him for that posi-
ton. He called at our Office and
authorized us, in case he was nomi-
mated by the convention, to say he
would not accept nomination from
that party that, while he desired the
votes of good men of all parties,
he 'cdS q Republican and couId be
nothing else. He was not making
this race as partisan but that he had
no political sentiments to conceal

BY n blunder, an editorial some four
years old, on Col. Thornburgh's nom.
nation for Acknowledgement, for this
district in 1870, appeared in our
Sundays issue. Though an extremely
efficient and popular prosecuting
officer, it was not our purpose TO
interfere now with the hattering

important ice.-HnorUMe Chroni-
Gle, July 2Sth.
The convention referred to in the

also that it did confer the honor of q

now were, the whisky ring was apow-
or in the land, second in wealth and
influence, perhaps, to none other, un-
less it might be the banking. A
wealthy man could take $4,000 and
engage in distilling on large scale for
purposes OF speculation, but if a poor
mountaineer made little run of a
few gallons of whisky from his surplus
grain, without having first paid the
heavy fee or license which he really
cannot afford, his property is destroy

the vilest prison in the South and

he opposed the present revenue laws
because they Disseminated against
the poor man and in favor of the rich

In concluding his remarks, which
occupied nearly two hours, Judge
Houk regretted the absence of Col.
Thornburgh, as, had he been present,
he would have discussed other ques-
tons which he now omitted, but had
nothing to take back that he had
said.
Neither having received the party
nomination, he would say that if a
fair convention was held, whose
delegates represented the people, he
would bow to their decision if he
was not chosen but he would not
abide the decision of office. holders
and courthouse cliques.
He had given the people an idea
of his position and regretted that the
circumstances then forbade further
remarks. In asking their suffrage he
did SO with the feeling that he could
without fear promise to protect the
interests Of the District and of the
whole people. He had made many
mistakes in the course of his life, bu

reliable market reports, something
that cansbe relied on bS the farmer
when he comes with his produce
to market it the purchasers could
not then take any Advantage of him,
which is done no6 daily on Ae
market. A series of experinlea1ts in
stituted to test the average loss in
weight by drying, show that corn
loses one, fifth, and wheat opeatour-
teenth by the process From this
the statement is made that farmers
will make more by selling unshelled
corn in the fall at seventy-fye cents,
than the folIowing summer at one
dollar per bushel, and that wheat at
one dollar and thirty,tw cents in
December, is equal to one dollar and
half for the same wheat in the June
following. This estimate is made
on the basis of interest at seven per
cent, and takes no account OF loss
from the depredations of yermin.
These facts are worthy of consider

Judge Ef0Jk's SevfcryiiIe
Speech.

III the Loudon Times of last week
we find lengthy report of the
speech delivered by Judge Houk il
Scvierville, on Monday the Goth ult.,
which would Indicate that it was g
rather searching affair. Our limited
space precludes all thought of trans.
fcrring the report bodily TO our
columns, and forces us to the neces-
sity Of simply furnishing our readers
meaScr synopsis.
He commenced by stating that lie
was there under peculiar circum e.
stances. He had supposed his COM
petitor, Col. Thornburgh, would be
present, but since learning of his
absence, hesitated whether he would
have anything to say at all, but mas
much MS the appointment was his, he
had at length determined to talk
awhile and endeavor to demonstrate
why the people, as he thought, should
support him in preference to any
other claiming their services, Though
Il stranger to manly present, yet he
was only coming back among the
people with whom he was reared, and
revisiting the scenes of his boyish
sports and young manhood's strug>
giles. Born OH the soil of old Sewer,
ho came to present his claims to the
position to which he aspircd and
asked patient hearing.
Before proceeding to discuss those
important questions of National Leg
islation which demand the attention
of All thinking minds, he would say
that he came not with the arrogant
assumption of possessing any claim
for past service and therefore entitled
of right to the Office to which he
aspires-in this country it is the
right of the humblest individual to
participate on equal terms in regu-
lating the affairs of government, and
where all alike, rich and
poor, were sovereigns, such claim
would be MS disingenuous as
presumptuous. Such was not his
purpose. He asked their support
only in so far as they could give it
on the grounds of merit and recipro
city of sentiment. As regarded his
political antecedents, he was of an
old line Wing family and hence the
ideas he imbibed from his youth up
were of n National character, and
those ideas having grown with his
growth and strengthened with his
strength, when the great struggle
commenced in 1861 he espoused the
cause of the Union of his fathers,

One OF the great evils of the times
is the rule of the politicians. Nearly
every county, in every State in the
Union, has small coterie at its
county seat who manage the political
affairs of the county. They manipu-
late all the county and other conven-
! tons as skillfully as Ole Bull did the
strings on his violin. They play the
members of convention very much
as 8 gambler plays his cards. They
nearly always stock them, and are
sure to have trumps in their own
hands. If there is not much to be
won, they will throw away game
now and then, but when the winnings
amount to anything, high, low, jack
and the game will be found in their
hands.
Do we want this practice to cons
tinue? Are the farmers satisfied with
management like this Or have they
vowed that such a practice shall
cease! They have the power in their
hands to remedy such evils. They
are largely in the majority, and can
have things their own way, if they
will. If they will attend the conven-
tions and put forth their best men,
they can easily triumph over their
more willy competitors.
The masses are honest. They have
no motive to be otherwise. They are
the producers Of all real wealth, and
