IL Washington city is beseiged by
an army Of beggars. The whole place
is lousy with these craven creatures from
every State, Territory and county in the
Union. Beggars for small offices, beg
gars for pensions, beggars for pay for
cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, hay, pine
rails and old clothes lost during the war;
beggars of every color, sex, condition,
and age. This thing, to an independent
American citizen, is humiliating. 1t ex-
cites feeling of pity and disgust. Why
is it that these able-bodied paupers do
not go to work The Government of
the United States was constituted to pro-
tect honest, industrious people in their
peaceful employmeuts, and not to feed
hungry, indolent coTmorants, who are
too lazy to work on a farm and without
sense enough to make an honest living
the money required to pay the thousands
of useless officers is drawn from the
pockets of the honest working people.
Millions and millions of dollars have
been drawn from the Treasury to pay
trumped up claims against the Govern
ment, the larger part of which has gone
into the pockets of corrupt, villainous
agents, attorneys" and such like
cattle. 1t is high time a stop was put to
all this. The war has been over eleven
years. Everybody in this region lost
more or less. One man is as much enti-
tied TO pay as another, and as everybody
cannot get paid for lost property, the
Government ought to stop right where
it is, square the books, and assert posi-
lively and forever that it owes no man
anything on account of that war, and
begin the new century of its existence
comparatively out of debt. And then
with an economical administration at
Washington. but few public officers at
moderate salaries, with absolutely no
places under the Government for rogues
or swiudlers, we, the people, would soon
have plenty of money, aud we would
start anew on a career of prosperity
which would astonish the world.
Our people are looking too much to
the Government for patronage and place:
This Is all wrong. The people ought to
feel that the Government needs their pro-
tectieu-instead of looking 10 It for pro-
htable places aud fat salaries. We hope

g Facts are Stubborn Things., ,,


Thousands of human beings are year
ly borne on the swift current of disease
down to the grave, just because they do
not possess a sufficient knowledge of
themselves. A man meets his neighbor,
and the first salatation is, How are
your" OF How is your health?" The
reply frequently is, "Oh, l am well,
with the exception of a cold" Most
persons lightly regard a cold. Reader,
do you know that a cold is one of the
most dangerous of maladiesg A cold
not only clogs up the pores of the entire
system, and retards circulation, but il
is productive of Catarrh, which is quite
apt to lead to Consumption. "Oh," you
say, lit is nothing but c0Ldin my head. I"
True but that eOtd is really a mild form
of Catarrh, and if not arrested in its
course will become chronic Catarrh is
one of the most disagreeable, offensive
affections in the catalogue of diseases.
The passage to the nose is obstructed,
the sense of smell impaired, and there
is disagreeable sensation of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced
stages, there is a discharge having an
offensive Odor. If the disease be allow
ed to continue in its course, thick, hard
incrustations will form in the head, the
bones of which sometimes become soft
ened and break away in pieces. Why
will persons continue to suffer from such
an annoying, disgusting disease, when
they can just as well be cured of it.?
DIR. Sage's CatarTh Remedy will cure
the worst forms of Catarrh; in fact, it is
the only sure and safe remedy which
has yet been offered to the public.
Many harsh, irritating preparations may,
for time, relieve the urgency of the
symptoms, but they do not cure the dis
ease. DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is
soothing and healing in its effects, and
when used with DIR. Pierce's Nasal
Domche, according to directions, does
not fail to effect a cure. Sold by all

Thieves and Robbers.

II seems that the officers of the Fed
eral Government are set of outrageous
thieves and braZen robbers. BabcOck,
the private secretary of the President,
has just escaped conviction before jury
at St. Louis. That he was wonderfully
intimate with set of infamous rogues
is not denied by anybody. His reputa-
ton as a man of purity and uprightness
has received fatal blow. And now the
telegraph tells US that Secretary Belknap
"A member of the Presidents cabinet
has suddenly abandoned his office in dis
grace and shame, exposed and convicted
Of bribery and foul corruption, which he
cannot deny.
The whole thing there at Washington
is rotten, rotten, rotten. The high Off
cials of the Government are gouging,
digging, working in sinking. villain
Gus corruption from the beginning Of
the year to it's end. The people are be-
ing robbed of millions annually, that
set of the most disgraceful scoundrels
that ever polluted the face of the earth
may Toll IN wealth. w lille the people
are tOiiing, borne down with taxation
and debt. struggling to make an honest
living for their wives and children, these
robbers in high places are rolling in
wealth, amassing huge fortunes, their
wives and daughters loaded down with
diamonds and pins and clothed in thous-
and dollar silks and three thousand dol
lar shawls-all bought and paid for with
money stolen from these toiling people
How long are we, the people, to bear
this thing How long are we to be the
''hewers of wood and the drawers of wa
ter" for these hateful snobs in high
places2 Why just as long as we allow
corrupt, unprincipled partizan politicians
To rule our country. When these scoun-
drels are all driven out, or sent to the
penitentiary, and when the working peo-
pie Of the country take charge of their
own Government then will we have
change for the better and not till then.
For the present it would be a good idea
10 build up a high wall around Wash
ington city and turn the whole place in
to a penitentiary.

From the areenevile IntelIiqencer

We are informed by Granger of this
county, who was at Jackson, Tenn, du-
ring the session of the State Grange
that it was resolved that politics in the
Grange should be vigorously excluded,
and all efforts to use the Grange as a
means of electioneering is seriously con-
demned." Correct and sensible.-The
new Republican paper which will soon
be published at Greeneville, will be a
strong PettibOne paper. 1t is also re-
ported that the publisher of this new adj
miniStration organ will consent to make
the race for Sheriff on the Republican
ticket The Changers have opened a
race 300 yards long at Telford's Depot,
and about finished the foundation for
their mandatory at that place. The
timber for the building is being rapidly
prepared, and before many months, the
mandatory will be finished. Success
to it.-Treasurer Morrow was in our
town not long since for the purpose, we
understand, of seeing our ex-tax collec-
tor, Capt. J. w. Ellis. Their interview,
if report be true, was anything but a
pleasant one. Capt. Ellis is in a very
delicate situation. Thirty-eight hun
dred dollars in these hard times is no
small amount to be behind in return.
We also understand that the chairman
of the County Court has instituted suit
for nineteen hundred dollars. The
Republicans held q secret convention
net many nights since, in which they
fixed up the pills for their country
brethren to swallow without even lit
tie water Only few men from the
country were represented in their con-
clave. We doubt very much if their
rural brothers will abide by everything
little town clique nay get up for their
special benefit apparently, to result in
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of those getting it
up. We doubt not if the country would
not like to have voice.
