SPIRIT OF THE CANVASS

Col. Scion E. Rose, of Pulaski, is a can
didate for COngess i'm the Sc enth District.
He will ''cheeIfully abide any action of the
Conservative and Democratic nartF In the
selection yf ? ran'''iai6.
rte hROLuille Chronicle says that Judge
L. c. Houk, one of the Republican candi-
dates in the Second District, opened the
Congressional canvass at Seyierville on the
2Oth inst. He assailed the internal revez
nue. laws Pnd, decls--d III. opposition to the
CiTi. Higgins bill.
The PUIdski Citizen says: The conyen-
lions, barbecues and mass meetings now
being held by the negroes in Giles county,
and throughout the State, prove that they
are consolidstlps for the fna, c,i3rge
asrlu.t th5 white mans party on the 9th
of August. They are growing more and
more defiant and united under the belief
that the division in our ranks will give
them success,
Ths hG.i pms appeal states that party
/ of Republicans who are opposed to the
ticket nominated by the Black-and-Tan
! Convention for county Offices in Shelby
have organized a club in thet, CITY to be
known ss ,lrs Citizens' Central Club. OF
Feels were elected, and committees selected
to canvass and organize club in each ward
of the city. The membership is composed
entirely Of Republicans who repudiate the
action of the recent convention, which they
believe was packed and ignrret the tunda
'rert=l principles of the party, to further
the interests of few office-holders.

WE are credibly informed that, on
the 39th day of August, 1872, Ill. nj.
Brien, Jr., as the attorney of Clara E,
Leake, in suit against the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad Company,
charged her, for compromising the suit
at $500, the modest sum of $1,000, or
nearly one-hlf of the amount recov-
cred. Those who wish to verify this
statement may do so by referring to
page I43, Minute Book 3, of the Cir
cult Court. At this rate, we would like
10 know how much Mr.. Brien would
have charged for recovering some six
millions for the State. Would $780,
600 have filled his little bill:

A MORE adroit and dangerous scheme
has rarely been presented to the public
than that recently put forth 10y Comp
troller Burch, proposing to reorganize
the Tennessee State Bank. He pro-
poses to ask the next Legislature to is-
sue bonds to the amount of So ,oee, eco,
from which he expects to realize 81
100000 banking capital, and upon this
to issue notes TO the amount of Sl3,-
100000. Nothing would suit the cum
ming leaders of the Bourbon Democracy
better than the machinery which this
bank, if established, Would furnish for
the purpose Of indirectly making war
on the National Government, building
up the doctrines of State rights, and at
the same time making for themselves
colossal fortunes; and when they could
no longer control it, they would con-
trive 10 steal its assets and carry them
off to some semi-civilized country,
from whence their recovery wcrid be
mpOssible.-NashsiIlc Bulletin.
Let the CALLED jade vince! Anything
calculated to break the power of mo-
nopolies and centralism, is, of course,
"dangerous" in the opinion of the ex-
postoffice organ. 1t is dangerous to
the party that lives on subsidies and
corruption. The notion that practi-
cal move against the present bank sys'
TEN, would be making war against the
National Government, smacks of he
roic, self-stultifying loyalty. Since
when have the national banks become
the National Government: If they have
practically become so, there exists the
more reason for breaking up this fear
full money power. 1t may shock the
loyalty Of the ex-postofice organ to
learn that, from our view, the Repub-
lican party itself is not the National
Government" In combating Radi-
calism and its pet monopolies, we are
warning for the National Government,
not against 1t.
The insinuations about colossal for
tunes, and stealing assets, are worthy
of Republican organ. They know
how it would be with themselves. But
we cannot allow them to measure Dem
ocratic grain with their Radical bushel
Their consciences and measures etoo
elastic. They have made legal
dollar mean anything from forty cents
to ninety cents, gold. just as it suited
them, without regard to the rights of
either debtor or creditor.
After all, the most notable feature OF
the BulletiH'S paragraph is its sublime
obliviousness to any benefits that would
accrue 10 the people of Tennessee from
a State Bank. 1t utterly ignores the
home interests of our people. 1t takes
the side of S7OO,OOO,O0O OF which W,
cannot get our share, against $4,000,
900 that we can get. 1t would max,
the strong stronger and the veal
weaker; the rich richer and the poo
poorer. In all these things, it remains
a faithful exponent of its party, though
it be only an ex-postofiice organ.

the eniy county, we believe, which has
vet expressed itself in favor of a reduc-
ton of the State tax from forty cents
to tweaty. This means, or at least
amounts, to n-payment ef the State
debt. ConaiaerinS the number of paid
attorneys and bought up politicians by
the railroads to advocate this doctrine,
it is gratifying that such a small po"z
tion of the people have hee- gfilled by
it. Forty es.tg5 pays the annual inter
est and defrays the current expenses of
the government, and keeps up our
credit. Twenty cents would plunge us
again into virtual bankruptcy reduce
our bonds from almost par to a mere
BONG, and paralyze every enterprise IN
the State. The interest is compelled to
be paid, and the more we pay every
year the less we will nave to pay.
If tax of twenty cents en- the huh-
bred dollars is levied, instead of
forty cents, it only postpOnes the pay
ment of the other twenty cents. But
the Democratic party will not commit
suicide in such foolish manner. A
few politicians are tryingto work upon
the prejudices of the people, but when
the latter meet in CONVENTION they will
construct platform upon which all
good citizens can stand. TheDemocrat-
ic party does not wish to do otherwise
but if it were to be blind and foolish,
its defeat would be assured. We are IN
favor of retrenchment in every depart
ment where it can be done with safety.
The expenses of our law courts, and
the salaries and perquisites of office
holders might be eqdalized and reduced;
and come Offices abolished altogether.
This would bring positive and perma-
nent relief to the people, while reduc.
ton of the State tax would bring evil
and evil only,
