~ We would like TO ask the
Knoxville Chronicle one question. and
we do so respectfully and in a good
temper. 1t is this: In your opinion
can the South ever be "pacifed' and
" reconciled " to the United States
Government as long as the Southern
States vote the Democratic ticket?
Is it not the Democracy Of the South
you object to rather than its fancied
disloyalty? We do honestly be-
lieve the people of the South would
fight for the Union to-day with as
much heroic bravery as would the
people of any other section. With
us disunion is dead; slavery Is
dead, and dead forever. We don't
want anything but the Union, and
we don't intend TO have anything
else. This we know is our feeling.
We believe it is the feeling Of ninety
nine hundredths of those who fought
In the Southern armies. Wont the
Chronicle tender its resignation as a
committeeman, and be one of us
again

The New York World says q pri-
vate letter from New Orleans to a
gentleman of that city gives q curl
GUS twist to the significance of the
excitement there over the threatened
proceedings against the Returning
Board. This letter intimates that
the object of those who are pushing
the matter is to force out the truth,
not only in regard to the relations
between the Returning Board and
visiting statesmen of the Re
publican party, but also in regard to
certain alleged negotiations, of
which three persons alone are said to
have an absolute and accurate
knowledge, between the Returning
Board and certain leaders Of the
Democratic party at the North.

THE HANCOCK RALD-COL. JOHN
B. BRO WHOM

In the GAZETTE for last week was Il
communication about raid lately made
into Hancock county on the Illicit dis
tiIlers by the forces under Gen. Cooper
and Col. john Brownlow. Newspaper
men will appreciate the carelessness
generally given to manuscripts of that
kind. We take this occasion to put
upon record our dissent from some por-
tiOns of that publication. We have
known john BrOwnlow from his child
hood, and esteemed him as friend and
gentleman. That he is a faithful and
competent officer we are satisfied from
our knowledge of the man, and we do
aOt believe he deserves the censure i'm
putated upon him by that publication.
We say now as we have often had oc-
cassion to say, that the present system
of collecting revenue on whisky is sad
lv in need of reform. The laws ought
to be greatly modified, so as not to oper-
ate in the interests of the large distillers
and the unnecessary accumulation Of
costs upon the taxpayers and the sup
port at public expense Of the army of
deputy collectors and marshals, but
Col John Brownlow is not responsible
for the law, and does not deserve cen.
sure for doing his duty under them, nor
merit the charge of neglecting to dis
charge his duty. The more odious
law is, the greater reason why the officer
enforcing it should be q gentleman, as
we know John Brownlow to be, and
there would have been less cutlery
against the revenue service in East Ten
nessee il the service had been more gen
orally filled with men like him.

the President has unquestionably re-
turned to his first intention Of Civ.
ing share of Southern offices to
moderate Democrats. 1t is known
that the President abandoned this
intention at the instance OF Gen.
Comfy and others, who, he finds, will
not conc late. Southern Democrat
ic Senators again have the Presi-
dents ear. 1t is becoming evident
that when the edge of battle is reach
ed the President must have some
kind OF support from Democratic
Senators. All hope of defeating a
Democratic organization Of the
House is abandoned, and the Presi-
dent is now looking to action which
secure the generous support of his
measures from the majority in that
body. Hayes has evidently cut. Dose
