MORE MONEY WANTED.

The Democracy of this State are at
a great loss to know how they are to
replenish their empty pocket-books.
We suggest to them the expediency
Of creating a large sinking fund.-"
and place it in a situation that will
enable them TO get at it, and sink it,
for the benefit Of the party. Let them
issue a large lot Of State bonds; and
let them buy up the "Torbctt issue =
and let them organize upon their
foundation q new State Bank, with a
branch bank in every county Of the
State, making all men in the State
Ineligible to fill the Offices Of presi-
dents, clerks. cashiers, and directors,
who did not serve in the late rebellion
on the rebel side Of the question. As
% means Of ringing in the rank and
file Of the rebel party, have it ncor-
pOratcd in the bank charter that rebel
soldiers Of Tennessee should be paid
pensions, and the stay-at-homc rebels
should De paid by a board Of commits
siOuors for their losses during The war.
If the bank and its numerous branches
fail 20 furnish money enough, let q

the land. The CHRoNICLE has here.

Commouer used his Influence" with
the shelby county delegation and ex-
pressed the belief that such "influenceu
might have cost the Senator from the
GreeEeville Cross Roads "A handsome
sum, and is still of of the same opin-
ION. Now, if Messrs. Haynes and
Overton mean business, instead of

the resolution The words, with power
to send for persons and papers," aud
call upon " for our sources OF infor-
nation. We will then feel it our duty
to lay before the Committeeof Inquiry
certain facts relative to visit made
10y Mr.. johnson to Memphis soon after
the State election, as well as what
transpired at Mr.. JohnsOn's room at
the Peabody hotel, when the Shelby
county delegation visited him ia IA
! body.
| We might also have been able to lay
| before the committee certain facts in
relation to IA written pledge obtained
! from that delegation before they were
nominated at the Exposition Building
| Convention by Young Tammany"
or the" Madison street ring, =" and then,
| too, certain letters written by Mr..
| johnson before that convention assem-
]
| friends" might have been produced,
which would have thrown no little
light upon the subject to be invesliga-
ted. We apprehend, however, the
committee will not go to that trou
BILE, but will merely pass their virtu-
ously indignant opinion upon the
charges, and we doubt much if they
even make a trip to the western part Of
their State to take testimony, a. is GUS
tomary when such investigations are
to be made. If they will be so good as
to go TO Memphis, they may by dili-
gent search unearth the letters referred
to. and besides that obtain much valu-
able information, AS well as document
airy evidence.
Should the committee adopt these
suggestions, rigid examination of the
books of u certain Memphis bank
should he made to ascertain whether
any drafts had been drawn upon the
Commoner, and for what amount, and
; with that start they would be enabled
to make voluminous, and, we doubt
not, an intensely interesting report.
What say the Immortal nine " to this
proposition?

ORIENTALISM.

At no previous period in the histo-
ry of the world has Orientalism, in
its various phases, attracted the at
tention of profound thinkers so much
as at the present time.
1t is not alone the philosophic stu
dent who wishes to mark the origin
and trace the course of human thought
and ideas, that is concerned in the de-
velopment of this subject, but the de-
vout Christian finds much in it that is
nearly related to his beloved religion.
The religion of Christ sprang from
the East. and was built upon the re-
mains Of all the religions that had
preceded it. Many of the forms and
ceremonies of those antecedent reli-
gions were adopted in whole or in part
into it, and had a significance at the
time which, through our lack of lnowl-
edge Of those religious customs, has
lost its full force with us. We cannot
fully understand the scripture Of our
Bible without an accurate knowledge
of Oriental life and its numerous re-
ligious forms and observances.
1t is therefore with much satisfac-
ton that we note an effort being made
by Mr.. Max Muller, the most noted
Orientalist now living, to have all the
Oriental Bibles translated into the
European languages.
Mr.. Conway in his Sacred An.
thology." has, in a small way, done a
similar work, and the reception it has
met with shows demand for q more
extended work in that line. Mr.. Con
ways book is simply q collection OF
the precepts and moral laws cleaned
from the Bibles of all the religions oil
the world, living or dead, and shows
the close analogy between the princi
pal forms Of religion as indicating the
same needs felt by all people at al
times. We see that a noted Scotch
Liberal has personally assumed the
expense Of having a third edition 0.
Mr.. Conway's book printed to be dis
tributed throughout India. \ recent
writer on the subject says:
in noting the progress of this Orienta
element and in quarreling with some of it
excuses, We must not forget the calming
and strengthening lessons Of history, bu
remember that the Oriental spirit had grea
power over the early life of Chrlstendom
and did much to enlarge and exalt the mar
rowness of Judaism by its largene.s ar,
spirituality, while it received from the pos
tive Gospel and Church of Chris. the chez
to its dreamy mysticism and the balm fo
it, psutheistic despair.n

THE LESSON.

If our Democratic friends are SO
inclined, they may learn a useful les
son from the article published else
where from the New Orleans Times,
in reference to the corruption of the
Shelby county delegation in the Sena-
torial election. We are personally
acquainted with most of the gentle
men composing that delegation. and
would not believe such charge
against them. unless it was backed
up by clear and unquestionable proof.
We do not believe they could be, or
we're, influenced by money considera-
tions. We do not believe for mo.
ment. that Andrew Johnson used
money in that way to secure his cleo
ton. This charge, in our opinion, is
without foundation. But it has just
as much foundation as a great many
charges that are trumped up by unrc-
liable newspaper correspondents and
others against political opponents for
political effect. If such a charge had
been made against the eight Republi-
cans in the Tennessee Legislature,
the chances are, that nine out of ev-
cry ten of the Democratic journals in
the State, would have reiterated it,
and held it up in double-leaded edi.
torials as another evidence of the
| profound depths of Radical Rascal.
| ity."
1t would have gone the rounds OF
the Democratic press Of the whole
country. And yet these eight gentle
men, in point of good morals, recti
tude of character and integrity, are
the equals of the gentlemen who have
been so charged.
This is not an isolated case, by any
means. Damaging charges, with just
as little foundation as this, have beer
made by Democratic newspaper:
against leading Republicans, and have
been persisted in until reputation:
have suffered and men who are entire
ly innocent have been deprived o
their good names. No matter wha
ones reputation may be; no matte,
how blameless ones life may have
been, these disreputable scribblers
with the aid of an over-credulous pub
lie, spares neither age nor fair reputa
tions.
The lesson to be learned in thi
case is. to avoid giving circulation
and credence to such charges unit
there is good reason to believe gull
can be clearly established.

THE ADMISSION OF PINCH
BACK.

Those who read only Democratic
papers. and have no other source Of
information, land there are SUCH
would suppose that no Republicans
oppose the admission Of Pinchbacli
as Senator from Louisiana. This is
untrue. Senator Edmonds, whose
Rcpublicanism no one has ever doubt
ed, and who is a firm friend OF Presi-
dent Graul, and a consistent support
er OF his administration, opposes his
admission. Senator Carpenter, who
has been target for Democratic
abuse for six years, opposed it with
all his power He is opposed by a
number Of other Republicans Of po-
si.i0l and. influence i'm the Senate,

The tendency Of the Democratic
party, in the hour Of its expected de-
liverance from Republican rule, to
bring forward the bourbon, Confeder-
ate element in its ranks is strikingly
illustrated by some appointments
made in New York City. One of the
most responsible offices under Tam
many rule is filed by an ex-rebel,
who was JEFF. Davis Private Secreta-
ry. Mayor Wickham has just APP
pointed to one Of the first offices in the
city Gen. Fitz John Porter, who was
cashiered from the Union army for
failing to obey Gen. Pope's orders in
one Of the most important battles of
the war in Virginia. 1t is true, that
Porter claims that he was innocent,
and has asked for a new trial never
theless, he was found guilty Of a most
reasonable act and dismissed the
army Resting under that stigma it
seems strange, that n Democratic
Mayor should hunt him out from hun.
dreds Of equally well qualified candi
dates and give him the appointment
The case is more marked than usual
because Gen. Porter lives in New
Jersey, and is therefore, according tc
Southern Democratic reckoning, G
"carpet-bagger."
Whenever the Democracy has had
a fair chance, it has shown itself un
rcpentantly welded to the old bour
bon Confederate element, and when
ever it gets safely lodged in powe
the country will find out to its sorrow
what is the cost of putting such mel
i'm power.

ONE of the deplorable features of
the nauseating trial now going on in
a Brooklyn court, and which attracts
no little attention, is the advertise
ment of VIGOROUSLY disreputable
sheet in New York, known as Wood
mil and ClGfia's Weekly. 1t is con-
Quoted ostensibly by two coarse, re-
pulsive creatures, who are q living,
moving SANDER on the name of wo-
man. They and their filthy sheet, are
an abomination in the sight of all de-
cent people, and that they should be
advertised through the widely-publish
ed proceedings of the Tilton,Beecher
trial is one of the nauseating features
Of the disgusting affair.

ANOTHER effort was made last week
to release from the Imprisonment,
that great leader of Tammany De-
mocracy VIM. NJ. Tweed, more IA
military known as Boss" Tweed. He
was convicted of the most stupendous
frauds ever known in this country.
After being fully exposed, his valua~
BILE service to his party were rewarded
by seat in the New York Senate.
Instead of going to the Senate he
went to the Penitentiary, and last
Friday Judges Westbrook, Daniels
and Donohue decided that he should
remain there nine years yet.

TOADYISNI.

There is a class Of newspaper men
at the North, who are disgustingIy
sycophantic to leading Democratic
politicians Of the South. especially
those who took a prominent part in
the rebellion. We have just had a
specimen Of such toadyism in the ex-
pressions Of a portion Of the New
England press towards Gen. gordon
and Col. Lamar. We have not one
word to say derogatory to these gen
tlemen. They a-e very good men,
and men Of fair ability. Personally
we entertain for them the kindest
feelings, but neither Of them are SUI
pernatural-they are not gods.
The fuisome eulogies Of some Of
these papers sound very much like a
genuine Yankee business transaction,
and we should not be surprised to
hear Of commercial drummers going
out from the towns and cities where
they are published, and visiting Mis-
sissippi or Georgia with a view t.
pushing their trade. 1t would
not be surprising if they should TAKE
along in their trunks, few copies O
the papers containing these notices
They will try to make even toadyisn
profitable.

JUDGE GARDENHRE, one of the
dozen men in the Tennessee House
of Representatives, who is entitled to
credit for ability, has made a full re-
port on a bill introduced to regulate
discrimination on the part of railroads
in the matter Of freights and passen-
gers. The report concludes as fol-
lows:
1t is clear that our laws can have no
extra territorial operation, and it would
seem absurd for our courts to attempt to
punish man upon the idea that he had
violated law of Tennessee, in the State Of
New York, where no such law could be en-
forced Even if we could punish our own
roads for violations Of our laws beyond our
limits, we surely can not punish the roads
Of other States for the violation Of those
laws, and unless We can control the roads
State, it is impossible to control the matter
Of through freights. If Congress could pass
general law operating in all the States,
possibly something might be done but sep
arate State action is worse than useless, Ms
it will breed lawsuits that will effect moth
ing but heavy expenses upon the litigants
and consequent confusion in the transpor,
talion business Of the country"
