BrOwnlOw, grown more venOmOus will
advancing age, has resumed his old rip
snOTting style of attack upon the Demo
cratic party and its leaders. Gov Porter
is vilified because he did not reappOint
Col. Jno. NJ. Fleming as State Superin
tendcnt of Public Instruction, and Col.
Fleming's loyalty during the war is false
Nv assigned as the reason. knoxville has
already furnished the State Comptroller
and the State Treasurer, but the old man
is not satisfied with that. As Col. Elem
ing himself has made no issue in the mat
ter and is satisfied with the Governors
action, we cannot see why such a howl
should be raised by Brownlow except to
provoke dissensiOns among the Democra-
cy of East Tennessee. But of that there
is not the faintest probability. Will
Brownlow never learn that his appeals to
the wild passions of the war have lost
their old charm for the bold mountain
GERS. Radicalism is dead up there
Union and dme1TcdR.
Notwith standing the effort Of the
Chronicle to make it's readers believe
that Gov. Porter has favored men
who were identified with the South
ern Confederacy, we need only state
that the proof to the contrary is fur
nished in tie appointment of Col.
Robert N. Hood, of Blount county. an
cx-FederaI officer, as his Adjutant
General From the same source from
which the charge came that Union
Conservative men had been snubbed,
came the charge, not long since. if
our memory serves US right, that one
of the victims Of Porter's antipathy
TO Union men had cast the electoral
vote Of Tennessee for JEFF. Davis
Governor Porter could not appoint
all the candidates to Office who made
application. As there is no remedy
for the inconvenience Of more candi-
dates than offices, the alternate is
only left of selecting between those
who offer their services for the hon.
Orable and profitable places at the
disposal of the Executive. In max
ing his appointments he wisely took
into consideration fitness and locali-
ty. Many worthy applicants failed,
but All worthy ones whom we know
are accomplishing. So far as per-
sOnal popularity is concerned. every
East Tennesseean who has come in
contact with Gov. Porter feels that
he is a gentleman in the true sense
of the word. and that he is a model
Executive officer. Before his two
years expire all honest men will know
that we have a Governor who places
daty above everything else-a man
who is a patriot and statesman-not
a pigmy politician.

RADIC4L CRLKLNA TTONS.

In the Knoxville Chronicle, of the

son, Ala. in 1861, occurs this Ian.
guage:
eve viii carry the war where it is
easy to advance, where food for the
sword and torch awaits our armies in the
densely populated cities"
Upon this the Bee remarks:
Nor would we shield him from the
Odium which Justly attaches to the man
who, at the acme of his ambition, utters
sentiments repugnant alike to the spirit
of humanity and to modern civiliza-
ton"
Nor would we. if true. But we
are not prepared to admit that Mr..
Davis ever used such language.
Suppose, however. that he did: we
would ask, in what does the threat
differ from the outrages actually per-
petrated by the mendacious Sheri-
dan, with torch and sword, through
the valley of Virginia? And how
far short is the threat of the vandal
outrages of the brutal Sherman in
his march to the sea-his whole
route marked oy fire and pillage,
and night made hideous by the APP
palling shrieks of unprotected fe-
males and walls of worse than mur-
dered innocence, as their prayers
assembled to high Heaven for deliv-
erance from the lustful embraces of
his unbridled soldiery, to whom he
boasted having given up the coun-
try?
We would gladly forget these
things. but ever and anon some ma
Radical strikes a chord that
vibrates back, and reminds us Of our
injuries and sufferings.

THE RAILR04D T4x BILL

On the subject of railroad tax and
discrimination, the fight in the Sen
ate was a desperate one-with a
drawn battle as the result. The ice
however has been broken in this and
several other directions. The ball
which has beeu rolling in many other
States for years, has been started in
this and will continue to roll.
In the Senate, on the 23d, Mr..
Hodges, from the committee of con.
ference, reported that majority of
the committee recommended that
the Senate recede from its non.con-
currence i'll House amendment, and
concur in the same, which was done
yeas IS, nays z. On behalf of
himself and Senators Blizzard, Jones
and Wade, Mr.. Hodges offered the
following protest against the action
of the Senate:
The undersigned members of the
39th General Assembly of Tennessee
beg leave to present their solemn
protest against the action of the ma
jority of the Senate in concurring in
the House amendment to Senate bill
commonly known as the Railroad
Tax bill, and ask that this their pro-
test be spread upon the journals of
the Senate.
/. The amendment, if accepted by
the railroads of the State, will Weld
in taxes for all purposes from rail-
road property in ten years to come
not more than 100000 and moth
ing whatever for county and munic.
ipal purposes, whereas an assessment
of the railroad property OF the State
q .634 miles) at the low price of $50,
900 per mile for State and county
purposes at the low rate of 40 cents
for State and 40 cents for county
purposes will yield $3.92l. 600.
This is an unjust discrimination
against the mas ses of tax payers in
favor of prosperous and wealthy
class of our citizens-the railroad
owners-who have their chief wealth
through the fostering care and liber-
atty of the State and counties.
2. They protest that the amend
ment is unconstitutional, because it
is legislation specially favoring a
class of property some of which is
now clearly taxable as other proper
ty, and mach more will soon be, pre-
venting counties aud corporations
from taxing il at all and taxing it
for State purposes at less rate than
other property is taxed.
8. The amendment win greatly
iniure the State and counties finan-
cialIy, for the reason that it prevents
them for ten years to come from con-
trolling the rate of taxation on nj
least one-ffth in value of all the
property in the State. No matter
what the necessities of the Treasury
may be. no matter how high a rate
oftaxation the merchant and mechan-
ic may be compelled to pay, this
class of property-no matter how
yaluable-pays for ten years to come
only q nominal tax.
4. We protest that this Legisla-
ture ought not to pass an act which
will prevent future Legislatures from
doing justice to the taxpayers of the
State This amendment, il consti-
tutional, cffectnslly ties the hands OF
