The Danger Of Violence.

Hayes organ, the Washington Re-
publican, administers a severe rebuke
to the Bourbonic Republican organs,
who, like Ingersoll, only sec the past
rise before them, when it says, refer
ring to the question of the response
bility Of Hayes for the emphatic dec
larations of Messrs. Matthews and
Foster
THE President was in no wise a
party to the understanding, and yet he
was chief party to it. So far as act
ual authority to those who represented
his views to divulge them was con-
cerned he was not party; but SO far
as bis moral obligation to bear them
out in the good secured and to be OBJ
tanned by their noble conduct goes, he
is party to the pledge and should re-
ligiously keep it. Even if his views
were trifingly painted to effect the
end produced, and as completely with :
out his knowledge as their faithful
representation was, still, in considera-
ton of the motive and the merit of
the pledge, it should be fulfilled and
they sustained, and such will be the
case No one has, IN truth, believed
the President had any knowledge of
these stipulations at the time they were
made, or that he could be by any pos
sibility connected with them. But be-
cause the way was open to it the asser-
ton has been made by implacables in
the South, so as to enable them to al
lege breach of faith in consequence
of the delay in Withdrawing the troops
from the disputed States. Aud to in
crease the apprehension of the South
as to the ultimate result, intractables
at the North have proclaimed that the
President was no party to the pledge,
simply to create the impression that
because not in any manner bound, he
is not going to adhere to the policy in
dicated. This has been the cause Of
all the noise which has dinned the
public ear about the matter. 1t was
of no consequence one way or the 9th
er, except as seized upon for purposes
of mischief But the result will show
that those who pledged his views knew
what they were doing, and that he con-
siders his faith honorably plighted.

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

We have already urged an appeal to
the people in reference to the COM
promise offered by the creditors of the
State, and hope to see public meetings
for the purpose all over the State. As
the meeting at Lebanon reported be-
low is the first of the sort we have read
of we have printed the account of it
given by the special correspondent of
the American, though we are far from
endorsing all that was done. The
speech of Senator Thompson especially
is extremely unsatisfactory. 1t recog-
nizes the obvious fallacy that the pres
ent market price of the bonds has any
thing to do with the duties of the State
in the matter. The present depression
in the price of our bonds is conse-
quence of our failure to pay interest
upon them, and we have no claim to
an abatement in consideration of the
results of our own delinquency. His
talk of % and even 80 per cent. is a
shabby way of jeving men who are
makiug-a liberal offer.
Mr.. Stokes remarks are more salts
factory, but we would have liked to see
him advising a prompt acceptance of
the offer of the New York committee.
There should be public meeting in
Clarksville; most of our public men
here are sound on the question and
they should look to it that the whole
merits of the case be duly presented.
LEBANON, April "A large crowd
was addressed here to-day BY Senator
Thompson, Representative Stokes and
/ Congressman Riddle, the last named
dcvOting his speech to national affairs.
/ Senator Thompson reviewed his ac-
| ton as a member of the Legislature
and upon the question of the State
/ debt, and said that some mem Jers were
for compromise of twenty-five cents,
some forty, some for what the bonds
were selling for on the market, and
some for fifty cents, but very few for
/ paying the whole deb; He knew the
Senate was opposed to accepting the
proposition of the bondholders. The
! subject was postponed in order to as
certain the will of the people and to
hold it open for the bondhoIders. He
would not 60 higher than fifty cents.
Mr.. Stokes reviewed the history of
the State debt, as we'll as the various
steps taken by the Legislature looking
to a compromise. He stated that no
definite action was taken by the Leg
islature on the proposition made by
the bondholders because of an under
standing between the Governor and
the committee sent to New York, that
there would be an extra session to
consider the matter, as we'll as on ac-
count of the want of time at the regu-
lar session to consider the subsection.
After the return of the committee a
tax to provide for the compromised
bonds was left to be determined at a
called session. Mr.. Stokes, in vehe-
ment language, opposed reputation in
any form whatever, and denied that
the Legislature, at its recent session,
took any steps tending to Reputation
of the debt.
4 resolution was adopted expressing
as the sense of Wilson county that the

represented themselves as in no way
deputed by Mr.. Hayes.
The two Democratic gentlemen
therefore entered into an intrigue
not ereditable to the party literally for
nothing; they stipulated not to do
what they had never intended to do,
and could not have done if they had
tried, in consideration of what2 Of
the impression which two gentlemen
professed to have regarding Mr.. Hayes
opinions. We are less concerned with
the way in which the transaction af-
feets the characters of Messrs. Mat
thews and Foster but we may say that
they too had really nothing to offer.
If what they represented to be the
opinions of Mr.. Hayes were really
such, then it was incumbent upon him
to act upon them without any stipula-
ton or traffic about it; if not the whole
correspondence was humbug.
As whole the intrigue was most
unfortunate transaction for the Dem
ocratic party. 1t goes far to disinte-
crate the cement which holds party or
CARNATIONS in unity for individuals of
one party to enter into negotiations
with individuals of the other apart
frcm any understanding with the
party at large, and manifests state
of insubordination, an absence Of
organization, defect in tactics which
are quite insufficient to account fol
the otherwise unaccountab bic fact
that while the Democratic party has
beaten the Republicans on principle
has forced its own principles on it:
antagonists as the basis of their pol
icy, yetit has left those antagonist;
in possession of the powers of govern
ment. Verify the children of thii
world are wiser in their generation
than the children of light.

The Columbus (Ga. Enquirer, speak
ing of the factories of that city, says:
Those establishments do not turn GU t
simply white cotton cloth and osna-
burgs, as before the war. The Eagle
and Phenix Company manufacture cot
ton blankets, checks, stripes, cotton
ades, cassimers and fabrics of the most
beautiful designs. Instead of copying
from the Northern mills, the copy from
ours, only making lighter goods. The
cotton blanket, quite common in France
aud Germany, is made by only one
mill in the United States, and that Is
the Eagle and Phoenix. We have
heard it stated that, when Mr.. Young
was in France, he was refused admis-
sion into every establishment where
such products were manufactured. By
frequent experiments, the present beau
tiful article of the Eagle and Phoenix
is give to the world.

In THE advertisement of Rice.
Broaddus & Co., in this weeks paper,
will be found an enumeration of few
of the many beautiful articles which
they have in store. Mr.. Broaddus has
returned from the East with one OF
the largest stocks ever brought to this
market, comprising everything in the
dry goods line that the public demands.
The purchase was made at the lowest
figures, which will enable them to give
bargains to their customers. In their
goods and prices they challenge the
comparison of any house in this sec
ton of the country. Dick knows what
good goods are, and also has an eye to
the beautiful, and in the selection of
this large and elegant stock he has
displayed his usual good taste. See

stock and prices.

CALLED SESSION OF CONGRESS.

1t appears that Congress is to be
called together in May, instead of
June as first reported; two different
reasons are assigned for this according
to the opinions of the guessers. One
is that Robeson's defalcations make it
necessary to apply for additional navy
appropriations, the other is that it is
part of a plan for capturing the Spea-
kership of the House for the Repub-
lican party. All is conjecture at pres
