IT is said a rule is not good one
which does not work both ways. If
this be so, with what show of plausi-
bility even can repudiationists point to
the corruption of the Radical party as
a sufficient cause for its election from
power when they-the repudiationists
are contemplating an act of moral
and legal perfdy as disgraceful as that
perpetrated by the rings. Those swindle
the government out of revenues which
it is entitled to By law. These would
swindle the creditors of the State out
of the bonds held under the guaran-
tees of law and good faith. In one re-
speet the crime ofrepudiation is great
er than that of Belknap, because the
State can not be sued and therefore its
debt is a debt of honor, and to repu-
date it is not only criminal violation
of plighted faith but a dishonOrable
act done under cover of immunity from
punishment. There is boldness and
risk in the case of the rings, because
the members thereof can be reached
and punished by law; reputation has
not even the merit of bravery but fights
under cover of impregnable defenses.
Let us then hear no more of Radical
corruption from so-called Democrats
who are trying to bring about what
professional gambler would scorn to
endorse, the reputation of a debt of
honor.

A CARD.

EDITORS CHRONICLE Noticing the
article of Capt. Elliott in your last is
sue, take this opportunity to express
to him and others who have spoken to
me on the subject, my acknowledge
ments for the compliment intended in
soliciting me to become a candidate
for the next Legislature. Under GER
tain circumstances l would delight to
be the standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party in the next canvass. My
too-generous friend does me the honor
to compare me to Chevalier Bayard,
but | must acknowledge the bar sin
lister" to which he vaguely alludes land
which would seem to require of me
personal explanation effectually places
me "hors de combat" in the coming
contest-a contest to sustain the faith
and credit of the State. Of such vital
importance do l consider this question,
that l would personally be willing to
submit to tax of 60 cents rather than
see our fair escutcheon soile9 by one
stain of reputation. Under peculiar
circumstances, in which were present
ed to me two alternatives, l felt my
honor impelled me to choose the least
evil, and | took the benefit of the
bankrupt law-thus placing myself in
the unfortunate position of Launcelot,
"whose Honor rooted in dishonor stood,
And Faith unfaithful made him falsely
true"
Without arraying my private matters
before the public by any justification
of the act, l merely state the fact with
the remark that the Democratic party
Ia soaking to rebuke reputation Of
her debts cannot afford to select as
standard bearer q man who had re-
pudiated his own.
Another reason why | should be
proud to represent Montgomery coun-
ty would be to assist by my vote in
sIeyating to the United States Senate
our worthy fellow citizen, Col. Jas. Z.
Bailey, who would stand in the seeth-
ing mass of corruption at Washington
pillar Of light and morality to which
the honest people of the country could
turn with confidence and hope but
believing there are others of more ex-
tended acquaintance and larger in
fiuence, who could better aid him as
we'll as the general interests of the
State at large, / decline to allow my
name to be used in that connection,
but reserve to myself the privilege OF
working to the best of my ability as a
private in the ranks under the leader

ever he may be. Again returning my
thanks to Capt. Elliott, am respect
fully, yours, &c.

ALTHOUGH the Centennial is clear
ly the mercenary speculation of ring,
yet the South is interested in it as a
mammoth celebration of the most i'm
portant rebellion on record not except
ing that of the Barons of England
against King John. This celebration
of an act of rightful resistance to ty-
ranuy Is. however indirectly, an en-
dOrSemeut Of the effort of the South
to stay the ceaseless encroaehments Of
the tyranny of New England fanaticism
upon the rights aud privileges guaran-
teed by the Magma Charta" of Amer
iean liberty. Tyranny, whether ex-
ercised by one man, faction, or Sec
tion, is tyranny still, and whatever may
have been thought of the causes which
impelled the South to act, the sequel
Of the war has demonstrated that its
resistance was against spirit of tyran-
az vindietively reduced to practice
duriRe and since the war. And if the
South got Hp a rebellion, Radicalism
bas demonstrated that there was ample
e.use according to beth the Constitu-
tion and the Declaration of tudepend-
ence. -

The Next Legislature.

Some of the important measures
which may come before the next legis-
lature should now be thought of in
connection with honest efforts on the
part of the people to select the best
men to represent them.
The plan of reducing the expenses
of our judicial system has been some
what discussed of late, and it is one
which demands the earnest, thoughtful
attention of every taxpayer and every
voter In the State One of the surest
means OF escape from the disgraceful
last resort of reputation is to curtail
expenses. Let this be tried for a few
years in connection with the best pos
sible plans for increasing our income
and there will be less to be said about
our sore financial straits. We men
ton retrenchment in this particular
only as one of the most important of
many much needed reforms of that
character. Then this question of re-
pudiation, which needs only to be
mentioned to make a good citizen
blush-this question shall the State of
Tennessee plunge herself into disgrace;
fly to thousand future ills which she
cannot foresee, for the sake of shirk-
ing few present ills; entail disgrace
and difficulty upon her children even
beyond the fourth generation-this
question we say should be well thought
of, but never with favor. We think
the present system of leasing" con-
vIcts confined in the penitentiary
should be abolished at the earliest
practicable date, and the earliest prac-
ticable time is, perhaps the time when
warehouses can be erected in connec-
ton with the penitentiary and means
provided for teaching convicts trades,
and giving them wholesome instruc-
ton in the principles of morality and
right.
While the people of Tennessee are
not worse than those of other States,
crime is more prevalent here than it
should be. Many vices are practiced
which the people perhaps neither pity
nor embrace, but which they endure
with comparative indifference. HUI
man life is still held in too light es-
TEEN. Our laws are not in all cases
we'll executed, and they are by no
means in all cases good. They should
be improved, and means should be
provided for their better execution.
Too much attention cannot be given
to measures for the development of
our natural resources in all parts of
the State. immigration should be
not only encouraged but induced, and
especially immigration of good agri-
culturists. Not the least important
question now being agitated is, "the
dog law, shall it be preserved?" 1t
may seem like small matter to which
too much attention is given. 1t has
provoked much mirth, and seems des-
tined to call forth much wit in future,
but it is an important law, and no man
should be sent to the legislature who
favors its repeal Chattanooga Com
nlercidI.

LETTER FROM ASHLAND CITY.


MEssRs. EDITORS Lately we have
seen several communications in the
CHRONICLE, from Anon" of this
place, and it seems that he takes special
pleasure in keeping your readers post
ed with regard to the acts and doings
our G.. and M. and our clever old Cir
cult Clerk, Nick. Now we ask to en-
ter our protest against this course of
Anon. 1t occurs to us that he might
write sometimes about others for in
stance he might tell of some of his
own mishaps, as we are credibly in
formed that not long since he went to
the we'll for bucket of water and
after having raised the fluid from the
we'll and started to pour it into his
bucket, he found that instead of a
bucket he had brought his market
basket, which of course would not
hold water. He sat down the well
bucket as easily as possible and at
tempted to get away without being
seen, but Judge c. lynx eyes were too
quick for him and he had to own up.
Ifhis absent mindedness of Anon calls
to mind something of similar character
that happened not long since. A clerk
in one of our dry good houses was
asked by young lady for spool of
No. 20 Coats cotton. With all dis
patch possible he went to the other
end of the house and soon returned
with twenty hanks of No. 500 spun
cgtton, and remarked that that was the
coaFsest thy had. The lady of course
was astOnished to see such bundle for
one spool of thread, the necessary ex
plantations were given and received and
so the matter was adjusted by furnish
ing the spool. 1t is also reported that
this same clerk has fallen into the
habit lately of making out bills of
parcels and heading them Oak Hill,
North Carolina, instead of Ashland
City, Tenn. This fit of temporary or
parorusnaal insanity (Lurton) or alb
sentmindness is to be accounted for
upon the hypothesis that where the
treasure is there will the heart be, and
it is said that the one who has the

THERE is no use in specializing about
the result Of the New Hampshire cleo
ton when the cause sticks out as plain
as a pike staff. The intrinsic beauties
of Radicalism were not appreciated by
the majority in that State, until they
were developed By the Democratic in
vestigation committees, when they
burst upon the vision of the average
New Hampshire man in all their splen-
dor and evoked a spirit of enthusiastic
admiration and devotion which was
irresistible And when viewed through
the delicate coloring of the Radical
greenbaek, the picture sent out from
Washington and illustrated by commit
tees, captivated all save the intelligent
and honest patriots whose noble ex-
amples of integrity were as pearls cast
to swine. The moral is that those who
make a traffic ofthe honor Of the gov
eminent and the rights and libetties of
the people will not only buy the votes
of the ignorant and dishonest, but steal
the money to pay for them.

On one question, certainly, the
CHRONICLE and the Tribune are in
accord. We refer to the question of
the State debt, And we are glad to see
that not only the CHRONICLE and the
Tribune, but other leading papers in
Tennessee are speaking out manfully
on the subject. We note as being con-
spicuous in this regard, the GAINESVILLE
CHRONICLE and Tobacco Leaf, the Pu-
laski Citizen, the Athens Post, the
Chattanooga Times and the CONNER
cial, the Columbia Herald and Mail,
the Columbia Journal and the Gallatin
Examiner. There are no doubt others,
but those mentioned have recently at
tracted our attention. The very idea
that the question of reputation, either
partial or absolute-and as we'll one as
the other-should be seriously consid
cred in Tennessee, is repugnant to the
traditional tenets of Tennesseeans in
regard to public honesty. In due time
We shall give some reasons for the faith
that is in us.-Knoruille Tribune.

keeping of that organ has recently re-
moved to the above place. As cold as
it was last Saturday, a young man Of
our town had his hair shingled to the
skin and wasted a sitting or more of
eggs in having his head shampooned,
because he was looking for his dulcinea
who had been gone some two or three
weeks. The consequence is he is now
so hoarse that he can't talk above a
whisper, and is threatened with pneu-
monia. But then he is cured of almost
as bad case of observation-disclosures as
the clerk aforesaid, as he has not been
heard to speak unless spoken TO and
then only in monosyllables; but now
he is all smiles and jokes and the bar
Der gave him to understand that he
would reduce the price of shaving to
the old standard.
March 81, 1876. FAIR PLAY.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1876-03-25

In q peeuniary point of view what
do they expect to gain who are most
eager for reputation? A very large
proportion Of our population pay none
but poll tax and that they cant re-
pudiate because they can be sued
and forced to pay it. Those who
are worth 81 600, or under, pay only
poll tax, and can gain nothing by re-
pudiation except the distinguished
honor of having aided in swindling the
States creditors. And what viii the
substantial property holders get as the
price of their vote for Reputation ?
The pitiful sum Of 40 cents on the hun
dred dollars, which is the tax imposed
by the State. The burden Of which
they most complain is supposed for coun-
ties, towns and railroads-these they
can notshake OF by reputation because
the courts can reach them and enforce
their payment.
1t seems, then, that the thousands
who pay only a poll tax and those
whose property is tax free because of
their thousand dollar exemption can
not make the fraction of a cent by re-
pudiation, and therefore can have no
other inducement to vote for il than
more than willingness to disgrace the
State free gratis, for nothing" And
since the real property holders can not
make by their vote for reputation
more than the fortieth part Of one per
cent. on theirentire property as assess
ed, tits pertinent to ask whether this pit
iful saving is an equivalent. weighed by
their own consciences, for theirserviees
in the reputation of debt of honor.
If all concerned will view the subject
in the light of facts and from the stand
point of plighted faith, we have no fears
that the State will be dishonored by
reputation.

The indications are that the payment
or Reputation of the State debt is a
question that may create a breach in the
Democratic party through which Rad
icalism may enter and possess the State
government. That party has anticipa-
ted such a rupture and is prepared to
avail itself of the opportunity offered
by the sheerest folly if nothing worse.
