FIXING THINGS.

Referring to the "almost intolerablt
burden of taxation" the funding law
and the course of bondholders, the
Banner concludes its notice of Senator
HamiltOn's letter in these words:
Sneered at as a repudiatio1fist and
that sort of thing, as he doubtless will
be, MIR. Hamilton presents some points
OF vital moment, that our State officials
would do well to heed.
What we think of Mr.. Hamilton's
views is frankly stated elsewhere, and
1t Will be seen that we are by no means
inclinedto class them with Colyar and
the Banner. The Senator is anything
but repudiationist, if we have read
his letter In the Lebanon Herald Alright.
But as to our estate officials, - it Will
certainly puzzle them to know what on
earth they can dom any of these things
except to carry out the provisions of
the laws that they are sworn to exc
cute. Some enterprising journalists
seem to think that a Governor can re-
peal funding law at viii, or a Comp
troller suspend the execution of a rev.
enue law, or Treasurer turn High
Chancellor and scale the claims of
State creditors Such things might
perhaps be done in States still cursed
with Radical rule, but it is not the
Democratic way of doing things.
Neither are our State officials vested
with any controlling power over the
coming elections, as In Arkansas, Lou
isiana, and other Radical States. Nor
have they any State patronage at their
command to Elk things" In short,
they have no more power to influence
the fall elections or shape the future
policy of the State than so many pri-
vate citizens. The Banner either does
not understand what free government
is, or else it dislikes the freedom Ten
nessee enjoys, merely because the adj
ministration happens to be Demo-
cratic.

MORE WHITES THE NEED OF THE
SOUTH.

In answer to letter of inquiry from
Illinois about the price of farms ant
farming lands in Alabama, the Hon. c
S. G. Doster of that State writes: q
have lived in that State more than fort,
years. Lands are worth from ten cents
to SO per acre. Good lands can b,
bought for from 81 to S. per acre, il
small or large bodies. l know land,
that at this time can be bought for 81
per acre, that would to-day bring S10C
IN Illinois, and our lands are as pro.
ductive and healthier than those Of Hi.
nois. No country in the world presents
greater inducementsin the way of cheap
lands, health and mildness of climate,
than Alabama.
Thirty years ago land was as much
a drug in Illinois as it is now in Ala
bama; and we are confident the South
need not wait many years for the tide
of immigration to set with a strong
current in its favor. We are pleased
to see Alabamians taking an interest
in this matter. Mr.. d. says: Our
Circuit Court being in session wecalled
a public meeting at once on the re-
ceipt of your letter, and committee
of ten was appointed to answer your
questions"
Such prompt action tells its own story.
The correspondence relates to a Ger.
man colony; and the settlement of one
colony would be likely to induce others
to follow in it's footsteps. The civil
rights bill and the extraordinary as
sumptions of the negroes, are having
good effect in this direction. The
weighty question of negro equality
and miscegenation has BEEN forced
upon us by Congress and our
colored population, and it must
be disposed of at once and forever.
The Southern States contain over six
hundred million acres of land, with an
abundance of rain anda temperature to
render it invaluable for all agricultural
purposes. Allow six acres to one per-
son, old and young, and it will easily
support one-third of all the present
population of Europe, or l00,0O0,O0O
souls. Circumstances beyond our con-
troll render it very desirable that we
have a much stronger white voting
power on the soil of the South as a
means of self defense. Federal ag-
gressions are no myths, but stern real
tiles, and they must be resisted at the
ballot box. From colored voters we
have little or nothing to hope. Immi-
grafton from the Northern States and
Europe viii supply the strength we
need.

The desperate District Ring have
taken a new tack. Conscious that the
Investigation Committee, if allowed to
exercise their own Judgment in the
making mp of their report, will find
them guilty of all the charges alleged
by the memorialists, the Ring are
bringing every political influence with
In their reach to bear upon certain
members of Congress to induce them
to let up on Shepherd. President
Grant, unsatisfied with the aid he fur
nished the Ring by removing Cluss
from the Board of Public Works,
is now engaged in trying to
influence the committee to save
the Governor of the District. Senator
Conkling and Speaker Blaine are ed
to be working in the same direction, as
are several other leading Republican
Senators and Representatives. The
President has sent for two members of
the committee and held "a long inter-
view with them. Senator Allison,
whose eminently fair and impartial con-
duct as chairman of the committee has
been a source of qualification to his
friends, said to one of the leading citi-
zens of his own place to-day, that he
was determined to make fair report,
no matter who was hurt thereby. This
is exactly what every one who knows
the Senator believes he will do, and no
apprehension need befelt by his friends
that he will go back on his record for
the purpose of finding favor at the
White House. Representative Bass,
of New York, who has made a fine
record during the investigation, may
also be counted to do his duty in the
getting up of the report.
Washington Special (June 81 to the Cincinnati

The latest development in the District
matter is political conspiracy of very
prominent Republicans to break down
the purpose of the investigating CON-
mittee to avoid whitewash and to call
things by their right name IN their re-
port. The matter has gone so far as to
have an invitation extended to the Re-
publican members of the committee to

ting with ihe Changers:

uIuuSt
While at Jonesboru, Washington
county, attending the session of the
East Tennessee Farmers Convention,
we took the pains to enquire into the
merits of the recent charges of the
JGnesbOrO Herald and Tribune to the
effect that there were a few leading
men of the Order of the Patrons of
Husbandry of that county who were
striving to force this institution into
the support of the Democratic party,
and we are prepared to say that we
found no foundation, whatever, for
such charges. 1t is very true that
there was a move made to call a con-
vention of the farmers of the county to
consult with each other as to the pro-
priety of harmonizing upon a ticket for
county officers, but, from all We could
gather, it was not the result of any ae-
ton of the Oranges of the county,
though there were members of Oranges
engaged in it, but purely an
outside affair altogether. The fact
is, we were reliably informed,
that the project was first suggested by
two decided Republicans, thus showing
that if there was any political sig
nificance at all in the matter, it was
that of Republicansm and not Democ-
racy, as intimated by our contempt
rary. But we are quite certain. that
there was nothing of the sort thought
of by either party. 1t was simply the
result of that spontaneous feeling which
is now everywhere cropping out in the
agricultural mind that the farmers
should look somewhat to their welfare
In all matters, and feeling, too, which
can't be strangled or throttled by the
yelping cry of politics.
Our noble Order has too much at
stake to permit such an insinuation to
90 unheeded. You must show your
hand. Give us names. Point out the
disorganizers, and We will put the axe
of our Order upon their corrupt necks.

you have been rash and indiscreet in

A Republican Candidate I'm Maury on
Civil Rights.
Columbia Herald, June


Col. George w. Blackburn, Repub-
ican candidate for County Court Clerk
for Maury coCnty, denounced the civil
rights bill In his speech before color
ed meeting in Mt. Pleasant last Friday
night. He told the eolored people that
he would not allow them to associate
with his family on terms of perfect
equality. AS far as we can learn, he
and all other white Radicals in the
county occupy the position of Senator
Brownlow on this question, who has
said that forty Congresses could not
enforce the civil rights bill in East
Tennessee" 1t is the first time since
the war that the white Radicals Of
Maury and their Democratic neighbors
have been united even on one vital po-
htical question.
