being lifted up and dropped through into
tho basement, carrying with il the organ,

effect of this sudden change in public
sentiment has been very marked, as
witness the defiant conduct of the
Bonapartist mob of 10000 at the depot
in Paris.
The effort of the friends OF the young
Napoleon will be to have plebiscite
provided for. They boast that at
fair election large majority of the
people would vote for the empire. The
Assembly is on the verge of a dissolu.
ton. Three hundred deputies have
signed paper agreeing to vote for a
dissolution and but thirty more are
needed to ensure it. A dissolution may
mean civil war. Any act that effects
the tenure of Mac. Mahon's Office
renders the Government insecure and
the chances for revolution many.
There are idle men enough in Paris to
start a revolution whenever the Bon
apartists give the signal that the peas
antry is ripe for it.
The name of Napoleon still has in
fluence in France. Queen Victoria and
the Car of the Russias, have taken
special pains to recognize with formal.
ity the young Prince as deposed
sovereign, whose right to the throne
of France is denied, not extinguished.
The partisans of the would be mon
arch are shrewd enough to take ad-
vantage of all the wealth and royal in
huence they can command. That the
Republic is in danger is beyond doubt.
1t really looks as though France was on
the verge of a frightful civil war, that
might break out any day.

SOME men who imagine that the
people of Knox county are all block
heads, without capacity to judge be-
tween reason and sophistry, are going
around and making speeches to very
small audiences, instructing voters as
to their duties in the approaching Au-
gust elections. This is lost time. Men
who stood no chance previously, can
not make capital by palavering about
Civil Rights-a question not now at
issue-and the sooner these great states
men Co understand this the better.
The people of Knox county are too
well informed, and too independent to
be influenced by the silly utterances
and sappy illusions Of chronic office
hunters.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

The situation in France as portrayed
in our dispatches is alarming. There
are several facts we'll enough to remem-
Der in connection with these develop
ments. Some months ago we gave an
account Of gathering of Bonapartists
at Chiselhurst, at which the prospects
for the young Prince Imperial were
considered and plans for securing the
throne for him were matured. Recent
elections show that these men have
been active in carrying out their plans.
Some remarkable changes have taken
place in public opinion II the ballot
box is the best place to judge. The
Department Of the Nievre in 1878 elect
ed Republican by majority of 100 ;
in October of the same year 1t gave the
same party 1900. In 1874 it elected a
Bonapartist by $500 majority. The

MINERS RIOTS IN OHIO.

There is serious trouble ia Southern
Ohio over coal miners strikes. The
Nel7onville operators, falling to make
any satisfactory arrangement with the
miners, sent South for a large body Of
cOlored laborers. About three hun
bred and forty Of these from Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee, reached the
mines on the 18th. They were escort
ed by troops and a special posse of cit
iZens under the Sheriff OF the county.
As soon as they reached the mines
pickets were thrown out and regular
military precautions against an attack
were observed. Gov. Allen has called
out several companies Of militia from
Cincinnati, and has warned the strick-
ers that the owners of the m ines must
be protected in their rights. The col
ored men are armed-have been sol
dlers, aud do not seem to be Rverse 10

trouble will all be peacefully ar

THE New York Times of Tuesday,
speaking of the action of the House
the day previous in refusing to take up
the Civil Rights Bill, says:
By the action of the House yester-
day in refusing to take the Senate
Civil Rights bill from the Speakers
table. the fate of the measure has been
decided for the present session. 1t can
not now be reached, and, of course,
can not be passed. The chief value of
this action is the opportunity which it
affords for reflection as to whether the
bill should ever become a law. Since
its passage by the Senate public opin-
ion has been plainly arrayed against
the measure. There is general feel
ing that enough has been done for the
negroes to enable them to take care of
themselves, and that in common fair
ness nothing more should be asked.
The provision for mixed schools has
especially awakened hostility to the
bill, and some alarm has been ex-
pressed that the practical operation of
such law would be to put an end to
the means of education for both blacks
and whites in the South. We can not,
for many reasons which we have here
tofOre expressed, regret the failure OF
this bill to become law. The time
which has been gained by the decision
of the House, will, we are quite sure
! prove that it would have been an an.
| noyance to one class without confer,
ring any adequate benefits upon the
other.

WHAT OF FRANCE {? OF


When the Septennat was conferred
upon Marshal MacMahon by the
French Assembly, it was provided that
his powers should be defined by the
Assembly until constitutional laws
should define his prerogative. Such
laws have never been enacted. 1t fol-
lows therefore that if the Assembly
dissolves before they are passed, as
will be the case il dissolution comes,
the Marshal will lbe left without any
power. He will be in possession of the
Presidency but without any tenure Of
Office or any written delegation of
authority. Everything, therefore, de-
pends'upon the action of thisAssembly.
There is no telling what another
one would do. 1t probably would
insist upon a change in the personnel,
if not in the form of the Government.
NJ. Theirs favors immediate dissolu-
ton, even before a new electoral law
can be passed, for he wants under the
general ticket system to present him
self before many colleges, to gain a
sort of plebiscite, and on that base his
claims for a Republican Emperor. The
Bonapartists favor the same plan, but
of course not to carry out III. Theirs,
plans. They want the Young Prince
declared the choice of the people for
Emperor. The development, of the
next few days will be anXiously await
ed throughout the world, for the
peace of Europe may depend upon the
result.

WHO will it be? is the question en-
crossing the minds of a large number of
leaders, and would~be leaders of the
Democratic party in this State. VIII
it be Campbell, or Kerr, or Savage, or
Whitthorne, or Burton, or Sneed, or
will it be some one not yet named as a
candidate for Governor? The Overton
county Democrats have" broken the icen
and pronounced the name of Judge
John l.. II. Sneed, as their man. Some
of the Jackson papers have come out
in favor of Gen. A. w. Campbell. The
Courier. Herald does not favor the
Overton county selection, and says:
"Should Judge Sneed decide to make
the canvass for Governor it will break
the sections of the Court and the liti-
cation at Nashville, Knoxville and
Jackson, still enormous and vastly be-
hind will be continued indefinitely,
because if he goes off the bench the
remaining Judges must sit together as
one Court, and can only hear half the
number of cases now heard by the tive
sections. Every member of the court
is bound by implied faith in accepting
the Office of Judge to remain on the
bench and to aid in clearing the dock
cts of the court. We do not suppose
Judge Sneed would abandon his pres
ept office, and thus inflict irreparable
injury on litigants in Tennessee, to
occupy any office within the gift of the
people"
So if the Judge looks upon the matter
as the Courier Herald does, he will
not be a candidate. We, of course, are
not in position to foretell what viii
happen, but If they get judiciou'
Democratic Convention at Nashville
on the 2lst Of August, they will steel
clear of the close corporations in opera
ton there now.

STATES RIGHTS.

The United States Senator elect from
Connecticut, Mr.. Eaton, has taken &C.
casion to emphAtically announce that
he is a States Rights Democrat
Tbereupon the Democratic press
throughout the country applauds him
to the States and exclaims, Viue la
States Rights That party has once
before plunged the country into civil
war on this question, and Just when
the people were beginning to congratu-
late themselves upon the fact that the
question had been forever settled, it is
again agitated by the same old Demo.
cratic leaders. Whether Senator Eaton
favors States Rights in the same sense
as that doctrine was understood by
leading outhern fire-eaters and seces-
siOnists, who maintained that the
Federal Government had no right to
interfere with slavery in the States, we
do not certainly know but his language
does not give US any assurance to the
contrary. And whether his admirers
who speak Of his endorsement
of States Rights as the ring
of the true metal" mean thereby that
they stand by the doctrine as it was
understood in ante bellum days, we
are left to infer.
Certain it is, if the Democratic party
is going to make the theory of States
Rights, i'm the common acceptation OF
that term, one of its cardinal principles
or rather if it is not going to abandon
one Of its principles which cost the
country a four years war, it is well that
we understand it. If the party will
only boldly announce it as Senator
Eaton has done, we will have no fears
Of the result, for to be " forewarned is
forearmedn

THE Maryville Republican is very
indignant because we published certain
resolutions sent us by responsible gen.
tlemen in Sewer county, endorsing
Col, Thornburgh for Congress. 1t in
sinuates that the resolutions were the
productions of Knoxville ring, and
asks
Will the Chronicle correct the
injustice the publication of such frau
dulent proceedings are calculated to do
the people of that county, as well as
other aspirants for Congressional
honor-, or will it leave its readers to
infer that the meeting was all regular,
fair, and well attended?
AS to whether the resolutions were
prepared in Knoxville, the gentlemen
who sent them to us can answer. If
there is ring in existence, such as
the Republican alludes to, we know
nothing of it, and information on that
point is in order.
AS to the fraudulent proceedings -
complained of, we knew nothing of
tue ultclluS unlil but ItbOlullOus IcdCu-
ed US by mail with the request to pub
lish. The names of responsible gentle
men were attached to them, which
was such a guarantee of their genu-
ineness, as would have satisfied any
newspaper man, and we would have
published them just as readily, had
they endorsed any other aspirant for
Congress than Col Thornburgh. Be.
sides, the expression given in the re-
solutions is of the same tenor with a
large number OF letters we have re-
ceived from reliable men in Sewer
county. We think the Republican
would publish resolutions presented
under similar circumstances.
AS to the charge Of fraud we have
nothing to do with it. Coils. ID. p. GAS
and W. i. Duggan, Capts. Il. M.Wynn
Il, ID. Wynn and Maj. b. w. Pickens,
whose names are connected with this
resolutions, are capable of defending
themselves against such "a serious
charge. We look upon them as men
OF recognized independence of thought
and action and good Republicans, anC
the covert insinuation that they arr
the plant tools OF Knoxville ring,
or any other kind of ring" can not
In our opinion, be sustained.
