A Judicial Convention.

Considerable wire-pulling Is being
done just o 10 have an oflce-holLer's
convention to horn Mayfeld OF the
track for Chancellor. The Offlce-hOld-
ers wero to have had 4 private meeting
in Chattanooga last Friday, but as vet
we have not heard lie result, and don't
really know whether they had a meet
ing or not. When We say ''otilce-hold-
ers" We mean the Clerks & Masters Of
the district, but there are a few who
should not be clasSed with these politi-
cal tricksters, aud these especially are
in Bradley, Polk and James. But
nearly all the othcrs-and especially
Mcconnell, OF ChattanOoga-are very
anxious for a convention. They know
they hold the keys and csn turn the ia
bles as they choose. We must confess
we are somewhat surprised vt these
Democratic oficc-holders trying to get
up an olitc-holdets' convention after
having for the pas twenty years abu-
sed Republican ofice-holders for ia
king part in conventions. We were
inclined to believe after their loud pre-
tense Of "reform" that they would be
the last once for Sn ''otfice-holders'
convention" But. We are mistaken,
and these ''bread and butter" fellows
want to run things a little longer.
Poor fellows, they are afraid they
would starve if they were to get out of
office, aud they will strain every nerve
to "hold fast to all l give you"
But As theirs is a Democratic muss,
we will not say much about it for fear
some of the simon pure will think 1t
none of our business. Fight it out,
boy5-make the wool iy-you, and OIL
ly YOU, know how mean each other are
but recollcct that while you are buy
ing up the newspapers with "non-resi-
dent notices" the people are coming to
the conclusion that they will act for
themselyes-they don't intend TO be
imposed upon any longer by a set of
machine politicians.

a clever man but politically he is a to-

The turge of population and disgrace,
with all that term implies, we find u
large number of Last Tenncssceans in
flver Of organizing a separate State,
Composed of that portion Of the STATE
yist ana south OF the Cumberland
mountains. Good men, Democrats as
well rs Republicans, express them
selves favorable to such a movement.
Not long since, We published an able
and vigorous communication on this
subject from n leading citizen Of East
Tennessee. This communication at
tcac;cd wide attention and elected gem
etal comment, show ing that the sub
jcct is II upon which the people have
been thinking, and that in this section
ut least, they are ripe for it. East Ten
neSseeans, with few exceptions, are in
favor OF honestly paying u stale
debt. They are opposed to reputation
n any form whatever. They would
prefer to separate from the other di-
visions of the State, this section 20 as
sumo its pro rata portion of the State
debt, rather than 10 remain united with
n people that will voluntarily heap
shame and disgrace upon their own
heads by a refusal TO pay their honest
debts.
We would not take such y step without
pain. With all her faults, We love
ffs&Eessee still. In a part of her past
r?c1rl We feel no pride, bat, rs a

ralors are deaf to the voice of reason,
hind il the dictates of common honcs-
T., and inSibletn the good opinion OF
honest men everywhere, We do not
aisll 10 share with them the fruits OF
their infamy. We may be forced 10

England and Russia. b..
10th Preparing Cor war.

The latest from London says, a
special to the Times from st. Peters
burg says: Rumors are in circulation
that russia mas demanded that the
British fleet quit the Sea OF Marmora
immediately. The correspondent be-
lieves the report, although exaggera-
ted, is not entirely unfounded. Min
lister Layard's opposition to the en-
barkatiou of the Russian troops at
Buyukere caused great irritation. Al
inspired article in the journal de st.
Petersburg attracts much attention.
1t points to the continuance OF thr
fleet in the Sea of Marmora in drti
ance of international law, and asks i,
ii is not time to ask England what
she really wants. Europe should cali
England before her judgment seal
and summon her to reaenter the
sphere Of international law by quit
ting the straits and formally engaging
not to return. Semi official hints are
given that if England does not wish
to attend the Congress it will meet
without her.
La connection with the foregoing
Intelligence, ii should be stated thaj
rumorS were circulating in the Hobbies
OF Parliament last night, that the
tone in English official circles is deci-
dedly wAr-like.
A telegram from Vienna RECEIVED
in Paris states that Roumania has
refused to receive her independents,
at the hands of Russia, or permit the
passage of Russian troups through
her territory during the occupation Oh

The Paris correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph hears that Russia
has forced Turkey TO acquieSce in Il
secret agreement according to which
Russia would assist Turkey against
Greece, IN English combination, or
against tho entry Of the British fleet
into the Bosphorus or Dardanelles,
largely diminish the INGENUITY, and
guarantee the integrity Of the re.
manning Turkish territory, receiving
in return directory power over the

A Belgian statistlcian has compiled a
list showing that in 1877 there was Dor
rowed in the various countries of the
world 81 $40, $4,000 against $72j ,OOO,-
900 In 1875. OF this enormous amount
81 ,l5l csc, 900 was borrowed by Govern
ments, National, State and municipal,
and the balance by railway and indus
trial companies and institutions Of
credit. The excess Of the wolld'S Dor
rowing last year over that of previous
years was mainly due to the conversion

tors Thurman, Bayard, Mcdonald, Mr..
Hendricks and number of prominent
Democratic politicians have all along
been opposed to any investigation of the
frauds which gave Mr.. Hayes the Presi-

that general stirring up may result in
making Mr.. Tilden the Democratic can
didate for President in 1880. Whether
there is ground to sustain the charge of
lukewarmness against these gentlemen
we are not fully advised, but if they

is being made in the interest of Mr.. Til
