WOHEN IN POLITICS..

The subject of woman suffrage
is just now attracting considerable
attention, principally owing to the
contents Of an open letter written
by a Northern gentleman to Hon.
A. II. Stephens. After stating
that he took high ground in favor
of enfranchising the negroes when
the question was before the coun-
try, the writer of the letter pro-
poses, as an Offset to the evil result
of ignorant negro suffrage, as
shown'in some Of the Southern
States, the enfranchisement Of the
Intelligent women of the country.
This would give instant relief to
the negro-ridden States and solve
a problem which has long per
picked our rulers. Even to this
day women occupy nearly the
same position as they did under
the half-barbarous common law Of
hundreds of years ago. This con
ditron of thiRgslis the natural Sc
quence of thetr rot being Qiti&sras
end RpAsr it they are in the eye
of the Law little-if even that
above the position Of vassals of
the feudal period. Not being cit
liens they cannot enjoy the priv
iieges of citizens, without which
they r at the mercy ofcany IN
scrupulous wretch who may choose
to rob the widow and the father
less. These rights they should
possess, for woman, owing to her
peculiar nature and the equally
peculiar circumstances which sur
round her from the cradle to the
grave, stands more in need Of the
protective and remedial resources of
the law than does man. or abso.
Lutte rights she, under natural
law-vhicb is simple %justice-is
as much an heir as is man, and
when by giving her justice we can
alsa4suppress a great crime upon
law NATURALIZATION, we hold that
the step should be taken,

lowed ou" Justices of the Peace.
On evidence which no jury could
hold sufficiently strong to justify
conviction they can commit to Jail;
assess large fees for themselves,
officers and witnesses; put the
county to the expense of keeping
the party committed, Tor months
in some cases. Generally the party
committed comes clear on trial
and then there are jury fees,
clerks fees, witness fees, attorney
fees, tdrnkeys fees, Sheriffs fees,
and fees Of all kinds, amounts and
degrees. This is an abuse which
has grown TO monstrous proper
tions Of late years and it is time
the matter we%reftaken in hand by
the people.
In National affairs we are glad
to see that the House Of Represen-
tatives has shern II disposition to
seononiee ARD TO reform. After
many years of trial il has been
found that the Republicans will
not Gully not do anything of the
kind, bat that their presence in
power serves in manifold ways t.
shield some abuses, to foster others
and make opportunities for al
leeehes oil the Treasury. Retrench
and reform is the demand Of the
times and we believe it will moi
prove an illusion with Democrat.

TIE UNION AND ANERIcAN FoR

a. L4IDN IN Il MENICdA run
1876.
The beginning of another year
finds as still F,gging away. Ger
tain parties have been to a great ex-
penditure Of wind and sympathy q
any time the last two years in
demonstrating our sudden aud
disastrous demise. But we are not
desd yet, and What is more do nst
expect to be in that state so long
as we retain the support and en-
enlargement We now receive. We
have had a pretty tough tug of 1t.
Inexperience, limited capital, a
rashness of expression which has
driven from us many of those who
would have been our best friends,
moneyed competition, defective ed
ucation and hard times-we have
had all these impediments to strug-
gle against. But we began with
the determination of lifting the
Greeneville newspaper from the
cheese press and shoe-pegs-ior-type
stage and claim to have done it, al
though it has cost us a great eX-
pense Of time, money, labor and
opportunities IN oiher directions.
Beginning with a six column, four
page paper, printed on small, worn
out type we nave doubled its size
and print it on type which, it is
true, has seen service, but is still
quite presentable.
We think that we have some
claim Oh the people of this section
for a support. In the first place
we are not spungihg on the good
nature Of the public. We are
working for our bread and meat
and not following the business as an
amusement or for any less worthy
consideration. We are simply try
ing to make ourselves and such
little capital as we possess useful
to the community in which We
were born and reared. As to the
character of the paper we publish,
we are justified III regarding it as
fully equal to the average Of coun-
try newspapers and not inferior to
its rivals. Whatever dement's it
NAV have-and we confess they
are many-sycOphancy, indecision
and cowardice are not of the num-
Der. We aim to always speak
plainly and for the good Of the
people who support us and if we
fall short Of hat end it is because
we want words fitted to convey our
meaning and not because Of any
lack of either backbone" or in.
tentlon on our part.
In conclusion, we propose to
publish our paper through the
present year and longer'if circum.
stances justify. When we conclude
10 quit the business it will only
be when others are ready to take
the paper of our hands or while
still able to return every cent fol
which an equivalent has not been
given.

TAXATION or CHURCH PROP
ERTY.

AS we expected, PRESIDENT
Grants officious advice to tax
church property has met with no
favor fIom any quarter. 1t is
purely a State affair, one with
which the general government has
nothing whatever to do, and it was
altogether without the sphere of
the President to touch upon the
subject. Any recommendation
from him to the people of the
States is wholly out of place and
uncalled for.
Taxation of church property, or
literary or benevolent institutions,
is foreign to She principles Of our
government. individuals bear
their personal taxes with remarka-
BILE cheerfulness, but when it comes
to taxing them in a body, as if the
government was supreme and JUST
fed in eXacting a tribute from the
people, squally times must be ex
pected. for they will not submit.
These things are property of the
people, and every tax laid upon
them is in the nature of a tribute
exacted by a superior from a sub
ordinate. TO support their gov
eminent, they yield readily a fair
1.-THE of their possessions, but it is
altogether another thing for the
government to prey upon the
people in the collective. They do
not like TO see an ugly government
stamp defacing everything, and
our Presidents uncalledfor inter
meddling will yet produce such a
response as he little dreampt Of
when securing outside the Consti.
tuition for some line Of policy to
render him famous as q statesman
and a President. Should his sug-
geston be accepted, we should
soon have to pay a tax to the Cen
eral Government on our court
houses and other public buildings;
on our fair grounds and on our
public commons; on our poor
houses, our orphan asyiums and
our homes for the insane and the
deaf and dumb. Even our State
capitol building would be taxed,
our poor newspapers heeced TO
raise revenue, and our govern
ors and Legislators would have to
take out a license from the Gener-
al Government before entering on
the duties of the offices to which
the people elect them; even the
Last resting place for man would
