Grants Last Chance.

New York Sun, March 2.
The last opportunity is now af-
forded to Gen. Grant to retrieve his
character and regain something Of
the respect which the people felt
for him eight years ago; but to do
this he must adopt radical meas
ures and act at once.
Let him send adrift Measurer
Babcock and Levi z. Luckey. let
him keep no illegal military Secre-
tary about him, and get some hon
est, decent young man TO perform
the duties of his Private Secretary.
Let him break once and forever
with Boss Shepherd, and every ras-
cal Of that description and that
Ring.
Let him dismiss Secor Robson,
and every other official thief of high
or low rank whom he has hitherto
provided with the power and the
opportunity Of public plumber.
Let him set adrift Secretary Bel
knap, and turn out everybody who
had any finger in the French arms
transactions.
Let him cease to make the Gov
ernment a hospital for his own de
eayed and worthless relations, dis
missing Jim Casey at New Orleans.

L. Grant as Indian and military
trader, and turning out Marshal

more strength into their arms IN
their crusade against the whiskey
thieves and all other thieves OF the

party.

Let us see how this party has
made itself responsible for this de
moralization. Richardson, who ap
proved the Sanborn fraud, shame
less and unblusing as it was, was
made a judge. Shepherd, driven
from power as one unfaithful to his
trust, was made a commissioner,
and is the leader of Administrator
society. Williams, after his sins
were confessed, was intrusted with
high duties. Schenck, after he al
lowed his name and his office to be
the means of swindling women and
children out of their income by bo-
gus mining shares, was protected
Babeock came from the dock of
st. Louis court, the cell of the Jail
bird Mcdonald, TO become the pri-
vate secretary TO the President and
director of the public work And
now we have the secretary OF war
resigning his office, a confessedly
corrupt and dishonest man, and
protected from the just indignation
of the House by the acceptance of
his resignation.
The true leaders Of the party, the
men who still possess the conf
dence of the people, should now
take ground. Mr.. Conkling has a
higher stake in the affections of the
Republican party of New York than
in any possible devotion to the
president. Is he in favor Of cor

was. asserted again AID again that
with economy and anything like a
faithful collection Of taxes. the priv
Ilege tax would pay the current ex-
penses of the State government. If
that was true then, with the de-
crease in expenses mentioned above
and with constantly increasing
population and a corresponding in
crease in the various callings upon
whiel a tax is levied, it must be
more than true now. Let any man
take tue act of 1873, and observe
the numerous items classed there
under the head of Privileges,
then 1t him look about him, and
he cannot fail to see that scarcely
any regard islsaid to the law Very
few Of the assessors make any show
Of retlshing privileges, and the
county clerks, even those who are
disposed to do their whole duty, are
competed to remain in their offices
and receive the tax from such per
sons only as choose to come for
ward 4pd pay, leaving all those who
chooseto brave the terrors of the
grand Jury to follow any calling
they nay incline to "without money
and without price.
Weare told that suggestions and
plans for relief are now in orde-.
Our plan is that the Governor Of
Tennessee stay at home and enforce
the laws, that he write no more
open letters to citizens of New York
or any other State, that the Attor-
ney Generals throughout the State
be instructed to proceed at once
against all collectors who have
failed to discharge their duty, that
such as are simply remiss be held
responsible upon their bonds, and
that the doors of the penitentiary
be thrown open to receive the de
faulters.
The State of Georgia has a bond
ed debt equal to about five per cent.
of the true value of her property
under the federal census of 1870
part of her bonds bear seven per
cent. interest, and about one fifth
of them have their interest paid in
gold. Her bonds are rarely quoted
below par, and her interest is met
as il falls due. Tennessee has a
bonded debt equal to about five per
cent of her property under the fed
eral census of 1S70-her bonds all
bear interest at six per cent, paya-
BILE in currency. How they are
quoted we are ashamed to say.

Rosewood.

II has puzzled many people TO
decide why the dark wood so highly
valued for furniture should be
called rosewood" It's color GER
taiasy dose not look much like rose;
SO we must look for some other
reason. Upon asking, We are told
that when the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood possesses a very strong,
rose-iike fragrance hence the name.
There are half-a-dozen or more
kinds Of rosewood trees. The va
rieties arc found in South America,
and in the East Indies and neigh
boring islands. Sometimes the
trees grow so large that plank four
feet broad and ten feet in length can
be cot from them. These broad
planks are principally used TO make
the tops Of piano-fortes. When
growing in the forest, the rosewood
tree is remarkable for its beauty;
but such is its value in mEhufae-
lures as an ornamental wood that
some Of the forests where it once
grew abundantly now have scarcely
4 single specimen. IN Madras the
Government has prudently had
great plantations Of this set out IN
order 70 keep up the supply.

The Baltimore Gazette believes
that behind the clouds is the sun
still shining: "Our fictitious pros
perity is rapidly collapsing, while
bankruptcy and ruin are staring us
fully in the face. 1t is no wonder,
then, that men aIc every day eman-
cipating themselves from their
prejudices, and earnestly searching
for the truth. The independent voter
is about in all his glory. Those who
have been the most credulous, and
have blindly believed just what they
were told to believe, are becoming
skeptical, and the thougtless are
now beginning to think and repent
of their evil political ways. These
indications of mental activity are,
it seems to us, of vastly more i'm
portance among the leaders Of the
Republican party. Such a sponta-
.neous popular movement as is now
apparently going on is one of the
revolutions that never 90 backward,
and whatever evils the future has in
store for US, the reelection of U. S.
Grant is not one of them.'

The Administration to be Judg-
eel by its Men.
CBalamore GfzettO { Dem u


The president thinks that this is
his country, that the offices are not
sacred trusts held for the good Of
the people, but pieces of property
to be given away to personal friends
and relatives, bargained away for
political influence, or sold outright
for so much money. This theory of
administration has pervaded the
whole system of the national Gov
ernment; it is the theory held not
only by Grant, but by all the prom
inent Republicans, ,hangers-on,s ,strik-
ers, conventions packers, workers,
oiiice-holders, rings and all. There
is only one cure for it, and that is
perfectly clean sweep-not done in
sudden gust of wrath, but by
calm determination to cut.away the
rot as a surgeon would a tumor, and
try to build up a new health once
again. No poultioing or physicking
can cure the deep organic disease.
Nothing will do but making clean
the halls of state utterly and en-
tirely. 1t is impossible for any
body any longer to believe that
Grant has been deceived in the choice
of his officers and trusted friends.
It is impossible TO belive that Nor
ton, Conkling. Blaine, Garfield, and
all the other leaders could be igno-
rant of the vile corruption that is
interviewer into every tissue of Re
publican administration; and while
they co operate with the party in
power, they are sharers in its pol
luton. Grants administration
must be judged by its men. He
chose them because they were bad,
and he and his maintain them in
their badness.

Surely there is Lot any great
cause for alarm justyet. The Gov
ernor may tarry little while with
us before he packs his carpet bag
and starts off for New York.
1t may be objected to the above
calculation that most of the tax
mentioned has not been collected
and much of it never will be collect
ed, while the current expenses of
the State are still running on and
the interest still accruing. Pre-
cisely-but what the people wish to
know now is, How do the current as
sets Of last gear compare with the
current liabilities? If we are to take
the expenses and interest Of two
or three years and place it against
the fraction of the tax for the year,
which we guess the collectors will
graciously choose to pay in, it is
easy enough to make discouraging
estimates. If the amount due the
State at the beginning of the pres
ent year exceeds the amount which
she then owed by $1,378,5I3.76,
there is small excuse for talk Of re
pudiation or for sending disheart-
ening estimates out to the bond
holders and the taxpayers. If il

to lose altogether this $I,37S,5I3.76

The Philadelphia Times advances
this argument in the interest of the
Texas Pacific railroad: "When the
war of 1912 prostrated the industry
of the country, and left it lingering
in distress as it is now, the State of
Pennsylvania inaugurated a system
ofinternal improvements to quicken
her industrial resources and brought
an early return Of prosperity, and in
1871, when the financial re4ulsion
of that period left every energy par
alysed, an issue of several millions
of relief notes, clearly unwarranted
by the constitution, was employed
by our Legislature to start our 81
lent factories and give paying con-
sumers for the products ofour fields
and forests and mines. To-day
the prosecution of our trans-eonti-
mental highways would do more to
revive our idle or embarrassed
industry than all the financial legiss
lation that wisest statesman could
conceive, and the Legislature viii

A Paramount Duty.

We print elsewhere a severe ar
raignment of the Democratic party
by the Charksville Chronicle for its
alleged failure to preserve the credit
of the State as it was pledged to do.
The Chronicle tells some unpalata
bic truths in a very plain way.
They will CRATE harshly upon many
an ear unused to such plainness of
speech by a Democratic organ.
This question will override every
other issue of the coming cam
paign, and it must be met in
the frank and fearless spirit of an
honest purpose to do what honor
and duty require. The plighted
faith of Tennessee must be pre-
served. Nothing short of this will
meet the approval of a very large
majority of the people Of the State.
The parties, in arranging for the
next campaign, must bear this in
mind, and they must put it in their
platforms in no equivocal terms,
that the plighted faith of Tennessee
shall be preserved. We arr aware
that a considerable body of gentle
men in this State favor repudiation
in some shape, and they may make
the issue in some of the counties,
but if they do, they will find them
selves in a hopeless minority. 1t is
the sentiment of the people that the
honest debts of the State must be
paid, and the duty of making pro-
vision looking to that end will de-
volve upon the Legislature to be
elected next fall. That will, beyond
doubt, be the most important
Legislature that has assembled
since the war. It's duties will be of
the highest and most delicate char
acter, and it will require statesman
ship of no ordinary type to DIS
charge these duties in satisfactory
manner. 1t is a common thing to
talk of sending the best men to the
Legislature, but now a crisis is up
on us when this thing is impera-
lively demanded, and the people
must see to it, that good and true
men shall be sent to the Legislature
men who know and appreciate what
will be required of them, and who
have the nerve to discharge the
duty in a fearless manner. If the
people will send to the Legislature
their wisest and best men, the ways
and means can be devised for meet
ing the obligations of the State and
/ preserving its honor. 1t is the
most important duty that has de
volved upon a Legislature since the
organization of the State, and il
may be so discharged as to restore
our noble old commonwealth to the
proud position it occupied before il
became the prey of spectators anC

expects by woulding his pride and
trenehing upon his functions to ex-
tort a resignation. Such a condi-
ton of things can not endure long.
The crisis is only postponed. Grant
and Bristow have no sympathies in
common, and represent conflicting
policies. The president desires to
to protect rings and thieves in high
places, as he has heretofore protec-
ted Boss Shepherd and others like
him. Bristow seeks to overthrow
the system and punish rogues. Be
