NOT A POLITICAL MATTER.

Until public sentiment is beginning
to lash the editors Of Democratic
newspapers into defining their posi-
ton on the Torbett Issue question,
they have maintained silence, but
seeing that they are forced to speak,
they get out of it by saying it is not
a political question. This is worse
than no defense. Under Democratic
administration, the State of Tennes-
see was dragged into a Democratic
rebellion. A Democratic Governor
forced the Bank of Tennessee, togeth-
er with other banks, to furnish money
to be used in breaking up the Federal
Government The bank was con-
trolled by Democratic officers. The
Democratic party of Tennessee is not
only responsible for issuing these
notes, but it is wholly responsible for
the cause which made their issuance
necessary. A Democratic Supreme
Court decided that the State is now
bound for them, and a Democratic
State Senate said that no appeal
should be taken to the Supreme
Court. The outrage from its incep,
ton to its full consummation is the
act of the Democratic party, and an
intelligent and honest people intend
to hold the leaders of the party re
sponsible for it.
Knoxville Whig and chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1875-1882, 1875-04-14
THEY MANIFEST INDIFFER.
ENCE.


The Democratic papers of the State
have, without an exception, treated
the Torbett Issue question with per-
feet indifference Some of them have
alluded to it in a flippant manner,
treating it more as a jest than as any
thing to be complained of. 1t is al
most incredible that there are men
who would so treat so grave q matter.
They Seem to look upon the honest
taxpayers Of the State as nothing
more than beasts of burden, to carry
whatever the corrupt politicians
choose to place upon them. Before
there was prospect of having to pay
this enormous rebel war debt, the
people were groaning under load Of
taxation, all they could bear. Now
they have to assume the payment of
notes issued to carry on the REBEL
ion, the bulk ofwhich are held now by
less than a score of men. But unjust as
it is, and burdensome as it must be, the
Democratic politicians, who imagine
that they hold a bill of sale Of the
people, and that they can crack their
party whip and apply the party lash
with IMMUNITY, manifest the utmost
indifference as to the results. 1t is a
matter too light to be discussed.
They are the sovereigns and the tax
payers are their slaves to do their
bidding.
But they will wake up after q while
to find their mistake. The people
who have these burdens to bear are
aroused to the outrage which their
despotic rulers would perpetrate upon
them, and they are determined that
it shall not be done. The honest,
hard working people, those who pro-
duce that with which we pay taxes,
are a unit on this subject, and the
man who favors this outrage now
need anticipate no favors from them
i'm the future.

RATHER NoN-coMMITTAL.

Brother Charlton, of the Grange
Outlook, is 50 proverbial for speaking
right out in meeting that we were
no little surprised to read his milk
and cider " editorial on the Torbett
Issue question in his paper Of
Thursday. To- sum up his argument
IN q nutshell, it is about this: ! am
opposed to paying the Torbett Issues
if it is wrong, but l don't think it is.
If, however, it is wrong, why there was
six hundred thousand dollars of the
school fund lost through one PMter,
that has to be paid" We need not
recite the history Of the loss Of the
six hundred thousand dollars. 1t is
familiar to all newspaper readers. 1t
was placed in Rutters bank by
Democratic State Treasurer, without
the shadow Of authority for such an
act, and unfortunately lost. He af-
forwards atoned for his guilt, Judas
like, by committing suicide. But this
was not the school fund. Every dol
lar of the school fund was used up
by the Democratic State Government
and applied to the same purposes for
which the Torbett notes were issued
that of carrying on the war against
the United States Government.
But, all joking aside, we know that
editorial was not satisfactory to
Brother Charlton. lie was not in
one Of his happiest moods when he
wrote it, otherwise it would not have
been such a production. For one
time we have caught him whipping
the devil around the stump"

The Turkish Armament.

The ConstantinOple correspondent of
the Providence Journal says: son the
heights in the rear of the palace which he
is at present occupying, the Sultan has
erected from the resources of his private
purse the finest arsenal for the storage of
small arms which is to be found, l be-
lieYe, in the world. 1t is most complete
in all its appointments, and is arranged
upon thorough understanding of the
necessities of a building for such purpose.
The racks are now being put up which,
when filed, will hold fifteen hundred
thousand stand of rifles The arsenal has
also in connection with it the necessary
barracks and officers quarters for a spe-
cial guard OF one thousand men. The
Martini-llenry guns, which are contract
ed for in Providence and which have been
adopted as the government arm, and are
now regularly arriving at ConstantinOple,
are intended to be stored in this building
as soon as it is ready to receive them.
Already the government has purchased
sixty thousand repeating magazine guns
Of the Winchester pattern. These are
stored in what was once the Christian
Church Of st. Irene, and are artistically
displayed in stands on the floor and i'm
racks on the walls of the nave and the
aislCs clear to the ceiling, so rs to present
an effect not much inferior TO that which
is witnessed i'm the armOry of the Tower
OF London. Besides these, the govern
ment shops ut TOphauch have nearly
completed the transformation into breech-
leaders Of two hundred thousand old
rifles Of the Springfield and Enfield pat
terms. With the irOn.clads and the inn
mense quantities of heavy and light ord
nance, which is furnished from the great
works Of Krupp, in Vienna, aud the eight
hundred thousand rifles contracted for i'm
Providence, it viii be safe to say that the
Ottoman Empire will, in the course of
the next three years, be the best armed
government on the continent

The FAIR GROUNDS.

Chancellor Temple urges upon our
citizens the propriety Of holding a
Fair next fall. We hope some steps
will be taken to reorganize the Asso-
citation. Why do not our farmers
take hold of it. We are advised by
the Trustee, that perfectly unincum-
bered title can be given to the grounds.
The old stockholders have the privi-
lege Of redeeming at any time within
three years from this spring. But in
order to redeem they must pay the
stock Of the present Association,
which is over $4,000 together with
ten per cent. per annum from the
date Of the new organization, which
is now near two years old. So that
in order to redeem, the old stockhold-
ers must pay in $4,000. The Trustee
would be very glad to see them come
and so would any purchaser, for the
grounds can be bought for price that
would make it good trade for the
purchasers, even if redemption was
effected.
But Knoxville and East Tennessee
can not afford to allow the Fair to 90
by default. Brother Charlton could
muster his Changers and hold fair
here next fall that would fill our city
from roof to cellar. We hope he will
do it.

THE ALLEGED KU KLUN
CASES.


At the opening Of the Federal Court this
morning. in the trial of the alleged Ku Klux
cases, an attorney for the plaintiffs called
the attention of Judges Emmons and Bal.
lard to decision alleged to have been
made by the Supreme Court, in the case Of
the United States VS.. Cruikshank ct al,
which is a trial under the enforcement act,
taken up from the State Of Louisiana, and
claimed to be similar TO the ones now pend.
ing in this Court, 10 which decision juris-
diction was given to the State. Judge Bal
lard said he did not credit the published re-
port Of the decision, while Judge Emmous
added that IL was as reported the cases
were dissimihr, and that decision did not
affect the cases now before them, Exsmi-
nation Of witnesses for the prosecution was
continued and finished, and to-day tes,i-
mony for the defense will be taken. -AUu-
Ianche 7h.
We understand from this that the
examination Of witnesses in these i'm
portant cases is going on, but not a
word is said in regard to the charac-
ter of the testimony. If it was some
poor negro ON trial for his life, or
some white man without money or
