We would remind the UNION AND
AMERICAN Of the proverb: Suppressio
Ueri, suggsstiO talsi. 1t is stated that
we gave to q certain person IN Knox
vile the list OF the subscriptions re-
ceived by US since the publication OF
our prOspec US, and this list was very
small. We handed to a person a list,
but only a small fraction Of the list
which had been received for the Wing.
Our list was in the possession OF an as
s0ciate, who was at the time in Wash
lngton City. As t. subscribers. we
have by far the largest list of any pa
paper IN East Tennessee, and in one
year We expect the largest Of any pa
per IN the State-hROIUiU Chronicle.
Now, now, gentle Parson, is there no
sgPpressiO Ueri in the above? The
statement that nineteen-only nine
teen-was the number Of subscriptions

case much against the charges Of the
Independent, if he turned over to the
latter list, and not the list.
This puts a worse face on the
matter than before. While about it,
he pight as well have told us in round
numbers, the amount Of the list. We
are sorry that, from a newspaper stand
point, We annotencourage the brilliant

cle. Under the new regime we miss

A letter from Schleswig- Holstein in
the Cologne Gazette describes Kiel as
having become one of the best-defend-
ed ports in Europe. In 1870 it was so
strong that the French feet prudently
gave it a wide berth, and it has since
been made considerably stronger. No
fleet in the world could force an en-
trance, and, unless the place should be
captured by land, no enemy's flag viii
certainly ever wave in It's harbor. The
German navy, which was at first
obliged to accept Swedish, Dutch, and
English officers and many from the
Mercantile Marine, has now a staff of
trained officers equal to any other mari
time power. They are recruited from
all parts Of Germany, many natives of
Saxonys Hanover, Mecklenburg, and the
Hanse Towns having entered as naval
cadets since 1866, while Wurtemberg,
Baden, and Bavaria have furnished
contingent since 1870. Some Of the
superior officers, natives Of Mecklen-
burg and Hesse, formerly served IN the
Austrian navy. Promotion being toll
erably rapid and the pay comparatively
high, there is rather a glut than a de-
ticiency Of cadets, many Schleswig-
Holsteiners now also offering them
selves. On the other hand, 1t is diff
cult, with the increasing strength Of
the feet, to obtain experienced sailors.
a taste for the sea has been developed
among all classes during the last
twelve years, and many boys from the
large inland towns repair to the coast
to enter the navy. The sailors are
much more humanely treated than in
the English, Dutch, French, and, above
all, the American feet.

FERTILIZATION ASOMEn.

OIlcagO 4IlDuuc5 March y.
The Nashville lTenn.) Banner, ultra
Democratic, presents to the people Of
Tennessee our comments upon the
proposition Of ex-Gov. Walker, Of Vir-
GINA, who viii probably be the Speaker
Of the next Democratic House of Rem
resentatives, that the United States
shall assume the debts Of all the States.
1t viii be remembered that the fifteen
pronounced Democratic States owe
only S2l2, goo 600. while all the others
owe only S109,OO0OOO. The Banner
presents the figures temptingly to the
Democrats Of the South, and reminds
them that slavery was abolished "at
the expense Of the South" Initiating
that here is a small chance of getting
part compensation therefor. The Ban
Her, however, inclines to the opinion
that the assumption Of these State
debts Is but trIhe; and indicates that
there Is a greater deliYerance from debt
than any which is offered By such a
proceeding. 1t says:
The Tribune is one Of the credulous
minority who believe, or pretend to be-
Eeve, that the national debt Wild ever
be paid In the estimation of many
others, even payment of the interest is
doubtful.
OF course, if the Democratic party
proposes to repudiate the principal Of
the public debt, and even to stop pay
ment on the interest, then, of course,
the assumption Of the State debts be-
comes a very insignificant matter. If
the national debt IS to be repudiated,
to include IN that Reputation $780,
100000 more would not add very seri-
ousIy to the dishonesty and disgrace of
the proceeding. If the Banner is au-
thorizedto speak for the Democratic
party, or even for the Democrats of
Tennessee, that the policy Of the party
aims at the reputation OF the national
debt, and VIII not be satisfied with the
small game Of assuming the State
debts, except to repudiate item also,
lhen We are prepared to admit that
Gov. Walkers proposition is a small
affair compared with that which the
Banner so candidlY avows.

MANY an observant reader was sur
prised at the Geographic statement
yesterday that the Union Pacific Rail
road has fixed the rates from Chicago
and St. Louis to San Francisco at rates
identical with those from New York to
the same point and that hitherto the
san Francisco freight tariff from the
two Western cities named has been
higher than from New York. This
latter statement especially Is pulling
to an outsider. Why = railroad should
charge less for carrying freight all
across the continent than for carrying
it half way across, seems Incompetent
sible at first glance. To the railroad
mind, however, it is a very simple mat
ter, and the case under considera-
ton is a striking instance of
how through rates are affected
by competition and geographical
position. On through freight from
New York to San Francisco, the Union
Pacific railroad has until recently been
Obliged to compete with the Pacific
Mail Steamship Line. This competi-
ton fixed the rate from New York. At
Chicago and st. Louis, there was no

ALTHOUGH the Democratic State
Convention Of Pennsylvania viii not
meet till next September, there is a
movement on foot to nominate Gen. W.
S. Hancock for Governor. It is not
known whether he would accept, and a
Governorship would hardly recompense
for the loss OF a Major. Generalship,
unless he regarded it as a stepping
stone to the Presidency. There is a
general feeling, however, that we have
had enough military men in civil Office,
and the movement, begun prematurely,
Is more likely to be abandoned than
pushed.

THE CHARGE or JUDGE EMsroNs

Judge Emmons, Of the United States
Circuit Court. In session at Memphis,
meets the Civil Rights infany at the
very threshold Of his court. and gives
1t blow the rever5erations of which
are already heard throughout the
Union. That Judge Emmons is a Re-
publican IN politics, a NortherBer by
birth, education and life associations,
and Is withal an eminent jurist of IN
sulied reputation, gives peculiar force
to his views. He meets the subject
squarely, without IFS or ands, declaring
bluntly that the denial to negroes of
theatre or hotel privileges is not an Of
Tense over which Congress can give
jurisdiction to Federal courts. His
line Of reasoning, also, is remarkably
lucid and straightforward. All citi-
zens must look to the State for protec-
ton against murder, arson, as
sault, trespass, fraud, libel, and
other serious offenses. So must
the negro likewise. How absurd
then is the Civil Rights act which
would protect him in the minor pivi-
leges Of inns and theatres, and leave
him unprotected in the more important
rights Of person and property. Judge
Emmons holds that the vastness Of
civil and political rights included in
the compendi0us phrase, ''the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi.
ness, rests entirely under State protec-
ton. This familiar and unquestioned
truism received universal assent before
the war, and there is nothing in the
POst-belLlnl amendments affecting it.
The Thirteenth Amendment, says the
Judge, abolished slavery and nothing
more. The Fourteenth Amendment
makes the negro a citizen and secures
him equal protection of the law with
other citizens. The Fifteenth Amend
ment relates exclusively TO the right of
suffrage. The Judge holds, further,
that these Constitutional inhibitiors
are aimed at the action of the State
only, and have no reference to indi-
viduals.

Two SONS Of the late John Mitchell
died in the Confederate service-the
eldest at Fort Sumter and the young
est in the charge of Pickett's Division
at Gettysburg. The third passed the
pegil5 Of war unscathed, and sur lives
with his mother and two sisters. After
the war John Mitchell lost all his prop
crtv in the Gre Of Richmond, and NOV
inc to New York joined the editorial
corps Of the Daily Nc-s. Some stric-
lures on the policy Of the Federal VIC
tors brought him under the displeasure
Of Secretary Stanton, on whose order
Gen. Dix arrested him and sent him
10 Fortress Monroe, where he occupied
the cascmate next to Jefferson Davis.
In Sept mber, 1865, he was released by
President johnson, as we stated the
other day. He died quietly at eight
O'Clock on the morning Of the 10Th
inst, near Nesry, in the county Down,

WE scout the suggestion of an ex-
change that the spelling-match cpl.
demic is a put-up job Of the dictionary
makers. We must also dissent from
the frequently expressed opinion that
the present generation excel their an
cestors in photography. 1t is surpris-
ing that any one who has seen the in
side Of a printing Office should hold
such an opinion. The reckless phonet-
les that go 10 the printer, are reduced
under his nimble hands to the forms
prescribed by Webster's unabridged.
The misspelling Of those who write for
the press today never sees the light.
ComPositor and proof-reader make
blunders Of their own, annoying enough
to the editor and the public, but it
is notorious that typographical
errors" are not errors Of photography.
As a matter Of fact it was more neces-
sary for literary men to spell wei in
the olden time than now, because prin.
ters then followed copy" in this re-
gard, and hence the diversity Of spell
ing that we find II old books. The
printer Of to-day always does the spell
ing for his author, and generally the
punctuation also. Whatever credit the
present generation enjoy is due to this
change IN the usages Of the art pre-
scrvative. If a single copy Of any
Journal were published to-day, repro
ducing.the photographic errors Of all the
various contributors to its columns, it
would contain more sins against the
dictionary than any old book published
in the days when printers followed
ropv"
