Hon. III. ii. LurtOn,

The voters of the Sixth Chancery
Division will at the election in August
next have to select Chancellor to fill
the uGexpired term occasioDed by the
resignation of Judge Smith. The
Chancellor then elected having to serve
two years, or until the general cleo
ton for judges in August, 1873.
The office Of Chancellor is a very
important one, and every voter should
feel interested In having it filed by a
competent person. The increasing lit
igatiOu in the courts of the State re-
quires that the judges should be men
of untiring energy as well as learned
lawyers.
Since the resignation of Chancellor
Smith, the Hon. Horace H. Lurton,
of GAINESVILLE, has acted as Chancel-
Tor, by appointment of the Governor
Chancellor Lurton has thus filled the
position since February, 1875, during
which time he has held two terms of
our Chancery Court. We know the
high estimation in which he is held by
the members of the bar, by suitOrs and
by the people, on account of those
qualities which eminently fit him for
the position he occupies.
We do not know whether Judge
Lurton intends to offer himself as a
candidate for the Office at the next
election, but should he do so-and we
do not see how he could refuse-he
will receive liberal and cheerful sup
port from the voters of Robertson
couhty.-Sprtnqtield Record.

THE NAN FOR OFFICE.

/
EDIT0Rs CHRONICLE: I notice a
well-grounded fear expressed by the
CHRONICLE and its correspondents
that, office will not be allowed to seek
its men. Let the Office seek the man
and not the man the Office" That's
my hand, too but nevertheless, Mr..
CHRONICLE, I am afraid that Office
will not act intelligently in making
her selections. (Heq-of course such
a fiirt is feminine) Now, I would
never hunt office. Perish the thought
Bat then am waiting TO be hunted
| am willing to be torn from family
and friends. to be run clear into the
State House on Capitol Hill, in the
City of Rocks. if office would only chase
me. | have placed myself in her way
year after year, and she fits by me
without even a nod. Still, it is clear
to me that Office should do the hunt
ing-if she would only hunt the right
man. And in my opinion I am that
individual. But Mss Office don t
know me, and [ fear she never will.
That is her misfortune. 1t is not mig
fault. / have stood in the big road,
canvass after canvass, in open view,
seen of all men and women, and nobody
has ever said run The thing is get
ting monotonous. Shocks says | have
made mistake; that the road to Office
runs through the columns of the news
papers. If you publish this, | will
soon know whether he is right or not.
Snooks says-'keep before the people.
Don't hide your light under a bushel.
Don't bury your talent. Tell your
neighborhood, your county, State, and
all the States united, how to get out of
debt and be happy" And Intend to
do it. Like my friend, X-Cal-I- Bus,
finance is my strong point. [ am now
employing my talent in negotiating a
loan to pay for notice in your columns.
A friend has promised to name me as
the right man for the legislature, the
moment | raise the spondulicks to pay
for the recommendation. Doubtless
l will get the money, but if don't,
I will issue my individual warrant, on
my private treasury, for the sum need
ed. In fact, that is the way | intend
to clean out the State debt whenever
I get chance at it, only l will issue
on the State treasury instead of "yourn
trooly." As to the national debt, [
have instructed Col. House how to
jerk" that. Fellow citizens, men of
Montgomery, men and brethren,
Changers, can't you hunt me up or
down, until I stand at bay before the
speakers chair at the State capitol ?
You have here my platform in part.
| refer you to X-Cal-I-Bus for the re-
mainder. But soft I am afraid of
X-Cal-I-Bus. | have read somewhere
of fair woman's arm, clothed in
white samite, mystic, wonderful taking
hold on X-Cal-I-Bus. What if Miss
Office should take hold on X-Cal-I-
Bus, and leave me pining! The re-
fection is too dreadful! For the pre-
sent pass. | had intended rowing

We occasionally see assertions to
the effeetthat those who protest against
degrading the State by reputation
and insist that honor and credit are not
empty sounds, are subsidized. In this
connection we would say, men general
" make self their standard of morality
and honesty, and the man who would
repudiate his honest debt, when he is
able to pay, upon the above principle
has a right to think others are selfish
or dishonest when they propose hon
esty as the best policy. The logic
tends to false conclusion, but the
argument is correct from the stand
point they have taken.

FIVE cle-gymen of the New York
and Brooklyn Association-Congrega-
tional-have retired from it. They
we're appointed Beecher committee,
but as the resolutions committed them
to the findings of the Advisory Coun-
Gil, they withdraw from all connection
with the Association. This action is
very significant-the Advisory Council
white-washed Beecher, and therefore
their Withdrawal condemns the acts of
the Council and substantially asserts
their belief in Beecber's guilt.

W. B. SCOTT, colored, editor of the
Maryville Republican, alluding to the
Colored Convention at Nashville, says:
What's the use holding a conven-
ton any way? The mass of the col
ored voters will not abide by the thin
pledges and big resolves" adopted,
no matter what line of policy is fol-
lowed. Let the colored voters throw
off their party shackles and assert
their freedom, their right to vote for
men and principles, instead ofslavishly
serving political masters.

The Commercial Reporter makes a
suggestion which ought to be reduced
to practice by the next legislature. 1t
Is to the effect, that in fixing the rate
of taxation, so much Of said rate as
may be deemed necessary to pay cur
rent expenses shall be assessed for that
specific object under an appropriate
head, and that the ratio necessary to
meet the interest on the State debt be
likewise specifically levied for that
purpose. In this way, the people will
understand how much they pay for cur
rent expenses and how much for in
terest, and will have the satisfaction of
knowing that the taxes they pay must
be disbursed for specified objects in
stead, as now, of being paid out at the
option of the disbursing agent. Such
an arrangement will, we think, tend to
strengthen public confidence in the
management of the finances of the
State, and may operate as a check upon
such officials as are prone to getting
things mixed. Some of the counties
have already adopted the plan of hav-
ing separate heads for State, county,
railroad and school tax, and the dis
bursting officers should be required to
observe the same plan and, in report
ing the appropriation Of the tax fund,
to specify the amount disbursed under
each head. 1t is a common complaint
amongst the people that they are ignor-
ant of the final disposition of the
money they pay to State and county,
otherwise they would more cheerfully
bear the burden imposed upon them.
Any measure, therefore, which tends
10 remove this distrust must prove
beneficial.

We have before us the first number
of the Nashville Banner, an evening
daily, and its familiar face revives many
pleasant recollections of the long
ago" 1t is newsy and spicy, and judy
ing from the specimen before us it bids
fair to become a popular favOrite and a
valuable accession to the journalism
of the State. From its Introductory,
we select with pleasure the following
paragraph which defines clearly and
without equivocation its position on the
important question of State credit:
I'm the matter of the State credit,
the Banner can never be an advocate
of reputation. 1t requires no argu-
ment to show that the debt of Tonnes
see should be paid. Once allow that
the debt is a valid one (who doubtsit p
and common honesty and good faith
enjoin its payment. An individual,
like u State, may, from one cause or
another, be placed in position where
the present meeting Of an obligation is
du ihpoSSiDiiitYs buS "Hoh pay HIeut,
gradual or otherwise, becomes posi-
BILE, there is only one course to be pur-
sued, if honesty is consideration in
the premises. Who supposes that the
great State of Tennessee, with its vast
wealth and boundless resources. is not
able to pay its just debts? We are
thus frank and ,outspoken because
we have but little patience with those
newspapers which make it a special
study how to evade taking sides on
vitality important questions"

conceal from the blind followers of
Grantism the facts that he disgraced
the Senate by obtaining his seat
through corrupt practices and dis
graced the gubernatorial chair of Mis-
sissippi by elevating himself to it by
means of fraud and bayonets. By
suppressing these facts Morton can
make out very pretty case of martyr
