SCHEDULE.


Among your other new year callers,
reader, comes the CITIZEN, greeting
And to every household into which it
may come it carries with it the good
wishes of its editors. To some of you
it may be the last call, not that it is go
ing 10 die, for we have even anticipated
the eventual demise of it's present pro-
prietor and provided for its continuance
thereafter; but the hard times win COM
pei us to be very rigid in the enforce
ment of our cash rule, and some of you,
we fear, will neglect to renew In time.
Many of you will find by the pen
Gil marks on the first page that your
time has expired, and If you fail to get
another paper charge it to hard times
or to your own neglect, and not to any
disposition on our part to cut your ac-
quaintance. We would be glad to ac-
commodate every one of you and con-
tinue the pleasant intercourse which,
with some of you, has lasted for years,
but it is simply imp ossible, unless you
pay us in advance. We mean no Of
Tense to any one when we discontinue
his paper, and we always do it with the
greatest reluctance, but cash is required
to defray the expenses of the office, and
TO feed the sixteen mouths dependant
upon It for support, and we MUST have
cash, or suspend, or starye. We know
that none Of you want us to do either.
Then come without delay and renew for
1875, and bring your neighbor with you.
We do not object to an indulgence of
two or three weeks to any of our pat
rons, If it viii be any favor, but you
must notify us If you want it, and you
must pay us when you promise.
Come onl

INC NTemphis Ledoer saws:

The Memphis LeQgeF says: "A
sweet sight It would be, when the
great State Of Tennessee was called
to announce her vote upon the issue
which now holds her public school
system wayering in the balance, to
have Andrew johnson rise in his
seat and say in the name of the white
people of Tennessee / vote against
this iniquity, when the tones of his
voice have scarcely yet ceased sound
ing as he proclaimed himself at Nash
vile, before 8 negro mob, 81, Andrew
johnson, am the Moses of the negro,
and will lead him from the wilder
ness into domination over the white
men, and, pointing, as he said this,
to the property of Overton and
others of that class, ''the houses of
these men belong to You, go and
take them" Would not Tennessee
have a right to be proud that she
had such a man as this to raise his
voice Of protest in such an hour of
the country's history? This sad
spectacle is about all that is TO be
accomplished by placing this rene
gade and arch enemy of all mankind,
save himself, in the United States
Senate. But we hope to heaven that
the "cup may pass, ''and so we will
ever pray.

so serious in its effect upon the coun-

prevailed for years over all the indus
tries of a still larger area of country
at the South on account of. the rava-
ges Of that Unsuitable political plague,

publican majority of 1000 against his

pense of his party ticket. He Is a gall

Es- The work of reform by our new
Legislature, though commenced by a
Republican, was heartily seconded by
the Democratic members, as was shown
by thevOte upon some reformatroy res
Olution, 67 to 3, as published elsewhere.
The beginning in the House is an au-
spicious one, and we hope democratic
members viii come forward to the sup
port of every economical and salutary
measure, no matter what source It may
spring from, with the same unanimity
and alacrity. They are under pledges
to their constituents and to their party,
now let them go to work In earnest and
acquit themselves to the satisfaction of
both.

az In his speech last Monday Mai.
WI. Sykes said that whilst he would
say nothing in regard TO the Senatorial
election he would say here as he had
said in other counties, that the present
Democratic State Administration had
been the most successful I'm the manage
ment of our State finances, that it had
reduced the debt to $27 ,000,0 of which
$6,OO0,000 was secured by solvent assets,
that It paid the interest on our debt
which had not been done for years with
out any increase of taxation, that whilst
Alabama with tax of 20 cents on the
500: 90 and Mississippi with a tax of
81 on the 500: 90 paid no interest on
public debt, Tennessee with u tax of
only 40 cents had paid the interest on
large debt left as legacy by a Repub-
lican administration. Whether the
present Governor ever fills another Office
his administration viii be bright page
in the history of Tennessee, and will be
regarded both north and south as a tri-
umphant vindication of Democratic
Conservative policy.

Poor Louisiana

The browning infamy has at last been
perpetrated In Louisiana. The Legisla-
ture of the State met and organized last
Monday. In the House, Hon. l.. A a..
Wilt, of Orleans, was elected Speaker,
and 4. j. Trevazant Clerk. Both We're
conservatives, showing that there was a
conservative majority in the House.
But soon afterwards a u. S. officer with
a file of armed soldiers appeared in the
hall and forcibly elected or 10 demo-
Gratis and seated radical as Clerk. The
democrats solemnly protested, indiVidu-
ally and collectively, and then retired
in body. Thus has the lying and ty-
ranical Gen. Phil Sheridan accomplish
ed the dirty work for which he was
sent, and the people have no remedy.
