TOO HOT.

We print the following card tele-
graphed by Col, John c. Burch to the
Nashville American
New YORK, Sept. "A, 1851 have
Just read in the American report Of
the speeches at Springfield and Gala
tin of Gen. Bate and Gov FOote.-
When Gov. Foote said that | knew of
or had anything to do, directly or in
directly, with the buying out of Hobbs,
he deliberately lied.
The Investigation, conducted by
Gibson, and the report, signed by every
member of the committee, Democrat
and Republican, proves that he lied.
His assaults upon ex-President
johnson, and his speech before the
Republican State Convention, estab-
fishes him as fit apostle of the creed
of calumny instigated by Zach. Chand-
Ter. Ben. Butler and the like
JOHN &. BURCH.
Such charges as have elected these
demonstrations ought never to be
made on the hastings or any where
else but before court of justice or a
committee of equity, where sworn wit
nesses can be examined as to the truth
of them. Where they are made in
any other way it is we'll known that, az
society is now constructed, they will
be met in a manner of which the card
above alluded to is a specimen, and
the result is painful to all who feel in
terested in the decorum or dignity of
political transactions.
Gov. Foote is peculiarly notorious
for conducting political canvasses in
this, which we cap only designate as
the blackguardly method, and is sup
posed to plume himself upon the num-
Der of hostile encounters in which he
has been engaged in consequence
every man to his taste, but disgrace
alone, in our estimation. and not hon
or, attaches to the politician who hab-
itually provokes such scenes.
| While on this subject it will be well
for us to remind our readers that we
have carefully excluded from our col
umns the charges and eounter-charges
that have been made against Messrs
HAYES and Tilden, in reference to the
reports they have handed in to the
courts of their property and their in
come with a view to taxation. Char
ges of private fraud, raked up in this
manner against persons engaged In a
political contest, are disgrace to
! American politics we shall not pub
lish them; we industriously avoid
even reading them; we know nothing
of them except that they have been
made and denied on both sides, and
we intend to know no more. More
over, we shall hail it as a cheering IN
dication of the improvement In the
moral tone of politics and politicians
when all this vulgar recrimination
shall be banished both from the hust-
ings and the press.

EASTERN QUESTION IN EUROPE.

The successes which the Turkish
government has obtained over its insur-
rcctionary subjects in Servia have evil
IDENTIFY had but little effect in simplify
ing the political questions connected
Herewith. As soon as terms of sub
mission or peace come to be discussed
it becomes evident that the conditions
have to be not such as the Sultan may
desire to force upon the insurgents,
but such as the neighboring European
powers Russia, Austria and Germany
may consent to.
The Turkish government only enjoys
shadow even of independence when
these powers fail to agree one with an
other what they will impose upon it.
Thus the Sultan after his victories
required the Servians to forfeit their
autonomy (what we should call State
rights; and Immediately Russia inter
poses with combined note from the
other powers cancelling the whole
transaction and declaring the autono,
my of Servia finality.
Under the circumstances it of course
makes no difference whatever who is
the occupant ofthe throne at Constan.

ing, but the course of events goes or
entirely unaffected by the question
whether Abdul ASH or Murad V. o,
Adul Hamid is called Sultan.

those States where. the colored race
being IN majority, il would issue in
the monstrousand unnatural combina-
ton where the inferior race ruled the
superior. Still the Southern people
accepted it not approving it and have
adhered to the terms-it does not fol-
low that they are going to join the editor
of the Era in licking the boots ofthose
who imposed it, a course so abieet that
the very wearers of the boots look
down on it with scorn and splitting.
As for this threat of war if the
Southern people give their vote where
their convictions direct them to give
tit is not worth serious thought.
The Era knows that there is going to
be no war. He knows that the South
ern people cannot make war if they
would and would not if they could, nor
in truth does the Northern people de-
sire it; to say that they do is to shut
ones eyes to the great wave of public
sentiment which in 1874 gave large
Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives War forsooth, to
keep polluted faction in power which
the North itself is rejecting with scorn
and loathing. Itwas not to the Mortons
and Chambers that the South submit
ted, but to the American nation-not
to faction but to the people, and is
now about to join with that people in
expelling from ipower the men who
have so long rendered the United
States scorn and kissing in the eyes
of the civilized world.

Immigration.

The capacity of Tennessee absorb

ginning to be understood. lie popu-
Ious North, with crowds out employ

they have at home, produon more
crowded, agriculture requig more
capital to start and more to 1duct it.
In the South alone they Fl near to

and future competency can earned.

Another hostile demonstration be-
tween Gov. Porter and Mr., Dorsey B.
Thomas has been the subject of much
newspaper correspondence. Governor
Porter charged Mr.. Thomas with Civ
ing certain vote on the Mechanics
exemption bill, upon which Thomas
gave the lie direct, and demonstra-
tions were made with stick and a
pistol, which were stopped by the in
terposition of friends. The Governor
afterwards proved the charge, which
is better than fighting about it.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE sAFE-BURaLARY TRIAL

THE sAFE-BURGLARY TRIAL
has commenced, but it excites very
little interest. 1t has got TO be an old
story. Dick Harrington, the most act
i've of the conspirators. jumped the
city some time ago, and his where
abouts is unknown. 1t is very doubt
full that Babcock can be convicted of
aiding and abetting the conspirators.
The jury will not agree. Some Of
them will conscientiously refuse to
credit the evidence of the main wit
nesSes for the prosecution-det
and thieves who have agreed to tell all
they know of the crime in the commits
sion of which they were prominent ac-
completes, provided they shall not be
harmed. But the lack of general in
terest in the trial arises mainly from
the fact that the people have very little
courts, juries or counsel. And that
little confidence is growing beautifully
less from day to day. When man is
arrested, no matter for what crime,
the question is asked, Has he plenty
of money ?" If the answer is in the
affirmative, it is taken for granted that
he will get off; if in the negative that
he will suffer the penalty of the law.
Its a sad state of things. But it's
true and pity It's tbs true. 1t seems
to be just as bad in one party as IN an
other. The whiskey frauds and the
Belknap affair are no worse than the
Tweed escape, and the retention In Of
fee, up to this day, of Sheriff Conner
who let hin go. This state of things
can't last much longer a grand smash
up is imminent. In the meantime, let
us watch and pray.

Hearn, late superintendent Of the

course Of construction in Raleigh, N. c.,
resigned his position in December last
at the request Of Bristow. An inves-
tigation followed which developed the
fact that Hearn had receipted and paid
for 1901 900 brick which had not been
delivered. To save as much as possible
the new superintendent succeeded in
having 100, 900 brick delivered by the
same party who had been overpaid, and
deducted the price from the amount
theretoforepaid. Government is now out
of pocket $4,000, and Wednesday Dis
trict Attorney Badger brought suit
against Hearn and his bondsmeD for
that amount Of money!. Hearn joined
the Democrats soon after his resigna-
