Andrew johnson and the "An
famous Funding Hill.

ClarlxvilIe Tobacco Leaf, May Is.
Mr.. johnson seeks to denOunce the tund-
ing and assessment laws, and at the same
time to avoid denouncing the friends ofthe
measures. Of course this is proper, IL
most cases it is honest: but Mr. Johnson
has not been accustomed TO denounce q
measure without wholesale arraignmert
gifts authors. Why is this, then? Dad,
unfortunately, is somewhere under this
load of hay in the persons OF his ablest
and warmest friends. McGaughey, of
Greene, a man OF influence and ability,
Blevins, of Hawkins, a man gilmore infu-
ence and organizating and working abili-
" than any other man in East Tennessee;
juo, Fleming, Knox, able and inhuen-
cial, a leader at home, all labored day
and night for these very financial meas
ures. Blevins declared repeatedly that
he reflected Johnson views, and when
requested, if that vas the case, TO bring
Johnsons influence to bear on his friend:
either telegraphed or wrote to him and
Johnson came. That he cast his inhu'
ence for the funding bill cannot be doubt
ed. fit had been cast against It, ms
friends would not have voted for 1t, foi
,Johnsons friends regard his opinion at
law, especially those of whom We have
spoken.

WE are incredulous when we are IN
formed that there are persons in TINS
county, who, having failed to secure tne
nomination of their fsvorites In the prl~
mary election, expect to vote for the IN
deoendents. We cannot believe tnat
anv Democrats will stultify themselves
in this manner. If there is any one
trait that distinguishes the Southern
ar more than another, it is the jealous
manner in which he guards his honor
from all suspicion Of treachery ana du-
nlicitv. His word is as good as his bond
and a debt of honor is the first that he
will nav. No Democrat was compelled
to vote in the primary election, out
when he did vote In it, he was commit
ted to vote for the nominee. What were
the uss OF conventions and primary elec'
tions If 1t we're not binding on all partlc'
ipants to abide their decisionR 1t Is &C
knowledged by all parties that our pm
n,arv election was the fairest means O
obtaining the sense of the Democratl'
nartv that has ever been tried In Maury
county, Those who intend to oolt In
primary election-if there be any SUCH
surely have Lut little regard for the opin
ion of the majority.

Hon. WM. G. bKowELow rose above the
partisan and acted the statesman when
he opposed the civil rights bill, and told
the colored people of Tennessee that tree
schools were of far more value to them
than the passage of a bill which can never
be enforced. The Senator was more tran
a prophet when he predicted that II the
colored people insisted on the passage o.
the evils rights bill, and succeeded IL
getting it passed, it would utterly destroy
public schools in the South. The Nash
vile Bulletin is mistaken when It asserts
that we are opposed to public schools
We have advocated them, and will do So
again, but not mixed schools OF white an'
black children. The colored people
must choose between the free education
Of their children and the possession OF al
abstract right, which can never DO then

When 1 was elected Governor and SEN

The War I'm Arkansas Ended.

The Attorney Of the United states Au-
yised President GRANT that BAXTER was
the rightful Governor of Arkansas where
upon the President issued Proclamation
last Friday declaring BAETEE Governor.
And so the disgraccful afair-disgraeeIul
to the nation and to the Republican par
TVS ended at last. The Democracy OF
the State arc greatly rejoiced at the result
Notwithstanding both BAXTER and BROOKS
arc Republicans. The Books party
wanted power simply to plumber the peo-
| pIe, hence the latter are glad that the
President has decided the matter the way
in which he has. This Arkansas muddle Is
the natural result of the reconstruction
scheme of the Radical party. This being
wrong and opposed to the theory OF our
government, its results must necessarily
be anagcby, Iqbbery and strife. a bad
tree cannot bring forth good fruit
The interference of the President in this
! State quarrel is undoubtedly unconstitn
tional, but as one wrong act frequently
r,ouires another to sustaia 1t, so this proc
| Ismation follows the reconstruction meas
ures as naturally as result follows cause
