THE DEMOCRATIC GAINS IH EAST

az. Y. b." writing from Chatta-
nooga to the Cincinnati Commercial,
SAYS: "No section of the South he's a
larger white Republican vote than East
Tennessee and in no section OF, the
United States, in proportion to voting
population, have the Democracy made
greater gains than in this vel , section
In the First District the Democrats
gained 5 900 votes, in the Second Dis
trict 5000 votes, and in the Third Dis
trict 5000 votes. Remember that IN
these three districts there are between
5000 and 5000 colored voters, among
whom there was no change whatever.
This will enable you to fully compre-
bend the tremendous revolution among
the white voters, among class who
were Unionists during the war, and
who have stood square up to the Re
publican party through allthese years,
and until the date of the passage OF
the Civil Rights bill by the Senate. It
has laid out the Republican party IN
this State dead and cold"
The result Of the election IN East
Tennessee is wonderful indeed. Only
two years ago, Freeman, the Repubh-
can candidate for Governor, came
across the mountains with 1854 ma
iority; now Judge Porter leads May
nard by about three thousand. AS
compared with the election of 1872
Judge Porter gains in every county IN
East Tennessee except three, Che loses
only 80 in Granger, Is in Hamilton
and in Sequatchie,) while Maynard
loses IN every county. The following

THE DEMOCRACY AND OUR PUBLIC
DEBT.
Clar,rsvilla Toharco Leaf


If there was a disposition IN some
PARTS of the South to take no strong
position on a public debt whose holders
we're sustaining a policy ruinOus to the
South, there is now no reputation sen
timent strong enough to be an element
in the Democratic party. One or the
reasons for entrusting the Democratic
party is, that all the hollow professions
OF honest maintenance of the public
credit and payment Of its obligations,
were coupled with such legislation as
made 1t apparent that in very short
time Reputation would be the only
remedy for an oppressed people. The
bondholGe rs were shrewd enough to see
that the policy of the Republicans
meant bankruptcy and ruin, financial
and commercial They are satisfied
that Democracy means good faith, eco.
| nomical administration, prosperity, and
hence the easy payment OF the
| obligations of government with
out the oppression of the PEG
pie, or danger of bankruptcy, and
| consequent repudiatlsn. The Democ
racy have not only to persevere mthen
honest policy, and they viii be en-
trusted with the entire administration
A gradual and safe return 10 specie
payments. with an honest determine
ton to pay the Indebtedness IN accord
ance with the contract, Is the only safe
ty for the Democratic party. Anycon
siderable reputation element, or pay
ment-in- greenbacks element, IN th'
next Congress, will scatter the Demo
cratic majorities ike chsf- Pendletol
announced tie proper policy In IN
Columbus speech, when he announced
that the act of 1868 was become a par
of the contract, and must be carried
out.
With a Democratic administration
the people Of Tennessee can manag
their own debt with ease, and wlthou
feeling it. The government can pa.
the interest upon the Federal debt ant
gradually reduce it, with no serious IN
convenience. We feel 1t now, becaus

AMONG the reforms urged in Illinois
is a proposed statute to make none but
taxpayers eligible to seats in the jury
box. If such a measure were agitated
In the South, it would be denounced as
a direct blow against the man and
brother. The Northern States, how
ever. are free to solve their own CON-
munal problems without let or
hindrance. As to tax-payers,lon Juries,
the trouble lies deeper than Legislation
can reach. 1t is the undisguised and
inexcusable aversion Of respected and
intelligent citizens, whether taxpayers
or not, to do their share of jury work
We preach much about reforming oul
judicial system, but if a healthy public
sentiment compelled every worthy citi'
zen to contribute his share of time and
talent under the system, half om
grievances would cease.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE MAIL
RAGS?

The Ne1c York EUeRiRg Post has been
following up an investigation into the
ultimate end Of the mail bags. It APP
pears that the New York postoffice
makes a monthly requisition of 5000
bags TO supply the place of those that
have disappeared. As the contract
price of the canvas-bags is 81 cents,
this amounts to monthly loss by care
lessness or dishonesty of $3.50, no
small figure, considering the character
of the material and the absolute want
of a fair means Of accounting for them.
1t seems that Congressman are IN the
habit of filing these bags with public
documents and mailing them from
Washington to their homes, where
they are left, through carelessness OF
ignorance. There is a reason why Co 1.
gressmen should not return these sacks
The only person mentioned in Scrip
ture who "kept the bag" was Judas
and, as the sacred narrative candidly
puts it, Judas was thief."

THE Legislative, Judicial, and Ex-

fsc a year is being framed on the basis
of a reduction from last years esti-
mates Of 5 to 10 per cent. This Is a
good Republican item to pass around;
and when anybody says that the Dem
ocratic successes did it, Just recollect
that a similar reduction was made last
wiuter.-Chicago Tribune.
Yes, the reduction last May was
made, with a special view to the cleo.
tions. Picayunish five per cent. reduc-
ton did not save the party and did not
redeem It. They must bid higher thar
tha.. The people expect more than
that from the abused Democrats, ar
, they are determined to have it. LoI
off Radical pickings and stealings, and
the reduction of current expenses
would be fortyper cent. The five cen

"ALL roads lead to Rome" was the

So the Gothamites Of to-day think all

mist would rob Baltimore of the rail
