EDITORIAL CHANGE.

By reference to a card published
elsewhere, it will be seen that Col.
John NJ. Fleming, of Knoxville,
and H. II. Ingersoll, Esq, late of
Greeneville, have entered into law
partnership in this city, This in
wolves the voluntary retirement of
Col. Fleming from the editorial
chair of the Knoxville Tribune, a
position he has filled with uni
versally conceded ability. His vale
dictory will appear in the Tribune
of this morning. 1t is unnecessary
for US to say that during the past
ten years Col. Fleming has struck
US many journalistic blows, which
We have parried or returned
to the best of our ability.
But while we have been antagonis-
tic in the various exciting conflicts
through which we have passed in that
somewhat eyentful period, we note
his REIMBURSEMENT of the editorial
chair with feelings of regret. His
fame as a journalist extends
throughout the State and the coun-
try, and nothing that we could say
would add anything to it. Our best
wishes for substantial success fol-
low him to his new field of labor.
In that he is no novice. Before he
entered the field of journalism he
was a successful and able lawyer,
with a large practice. His ability,
large acquaintance and skill as
lawyer will bring him a large prac-
tice now.
Col. Fleming's partner, Mr..
H. H. Ingersoll, is one
of the best lawyers in the State.
He is Industrious, studious, scholarly
and devoted to his profession. He
is yet young man, in the prime
of life and can hardly fail to be
successful. 1t is a strong firm, and
the two gentlemen composing it
have our best wishes for their I'M
bounded success.

meeting was held, and committee
for that purpose reported
a summary of the laws of Tennes-
see regarding gaming and tipping.
This same committee presented a
memorial to be presented to
the General Assembly, pray
ing for the limitation of drinks
ing saloons, so that in the larger
cities, such as Memphis and Nash
vile, not more than ten or twelve
such houses should be licensed !;
that ali such places should be closed
on the Sabbath day to guard against
evasion by providing for the proper
situation of such saloons at dis
lance from places of amusement
and business, so that they may be
observed by the police and public,
and for more stringent law on
gaming. In connection with this,
Local Option was discussed and the
MOffett bell-punch.
A variety of opinions was ex-
pressed. We would rejoice to see
the time come when drunkenness is
suppressed, but the restriction of the
number of saloons to be kept in a
city does not occur ssto US as being
calculated to do it. Men who want
whisky will get it, whether the num-
Der of places where it is sold in a
city are restricted to ten or one hun
dred. 1t might result in suppressing
a few low dram shops, that are a
disgrace to any city or community
in which they may be situated. But
it would result in the establishment
of a monopoly, and would not, in
our opinion, remedy the evil COM
planned of. To be effective the
remedies proposed must be practical
bic. The remedy here proposed
does not appear practicable and will
probably fail. The first thing to
be done is to get public opinion
right. That being done, it is an
easy thing to shape legislation.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER I, 1873.
NO EXCUSE FOR REPUDIA-
TION.

There are some bitter partisans
in Tennessee, who are thoroughly
dishonest, but who have enough
self>respect left to attempt to hide
their dishonesty, who urge repudia-
ton of Tennessee bonds because, as
they say, they were issued under
the Brownlow regime" Of
course there is nothing in this but
low denagogism and barney. If
all they say about the "BrOwnlow
bonds were true, their validity
has been recognized time and again
by Democratic Legislatures. If
they were issued Illegally, why
didn't the partisan Democratic
Constitutional Convention pro-
vide for their reputation !?
Why was their validity recognized
by the Legislature of 1868? Why
were they included in the operations
of the Funding bill of 1873? This
is no excuse, and when we hear
it offered as such we hardly know
whether most to admire the knavery
or the foolishness Of him who offers
it.
Again, suppose that what they
claim is true. According to Gov.
Porter, all the /" Brownlow bonds "
now out amount to only a little
more than S3,O0O,O0G, or a little
more than twelve per cent. of the
whole. The creditors propose to
relinquish forty per cent.
Of their claims which will
cover the amount of the
amount of the "Brownlow bonds
multiplied by three. So it will be
seen there IS nothing whatever in
this. Deduct all these bonds, and
the State debt amounts to S21,0O0,-
600 in round numbers. Deduct the
amount offered by the creditors of
the State, and the remainder is only
about SIS, 100000.
The truth is, when men make up
their minds to become knaves, they
generally succeed, and though they
may offer excuses and explanations,
they are knayes still.

THE VICES OF THE DAY.

4 few days ago q number of cler-
gymen and laymen met in the lee
ture room of the McKendree
Church, in Nashville, to take into
consideration " the vices of the
day-how they shall be regulated
and suppressed" At the first
meeting there was some pretty sharp
shooting at large game. Rev. DIR.
A. J. Baird, the leading Cumber-
land Presbyterian minister in the
State, alluded, in an uncompli-
mentary way, to ex-GoY. John G.
Brown, who, it will be remembered,
vetoed the Local Option Law passed
by the legislature. a good deal
was said at the time about the part
taken by Col. John c. Burch in
convincing Gov. Brown of
the unconstitutionality of that
bill. DR.. Baird revived that
talk and said some pointed
things, as reported by a cor
respondent Of the Banner, Revi
DR.. Elliott. This brought out a
card from Col. Burch, who denied
that he used any improper means to
convince the Governor or that he
received big fee for his constitu-
tional argument, to which the veto
was popularity attributed.

paper.
The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We shall make unceasing war
against all men who spouse the
cause of reputation in Tennessee.
Against those who are willing to de-
stroy their State for a little brief
authority, and who for Office are
willing to hishonor and disgrace the
Commonwealth, we shall cry aloud
and spare not.
As newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained.
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made en-
tirely correct and reliable.
We will endeayor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the gen.
eral reduction of values, we have
decided to reduce the price of the
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE to
suit the times. In the future we
will send our weekly paper to sub
scribers on the following

Every day the effects of our finan-
cial policy become more and more APP
parent. Here is an item from the st.
Paul Dispatch:
st. Paul has variety of metropolis
tan life and industry, which many Of
it's observant and rejecting citizens
would never care to see one OF the
regular institutions of the town.
There lis rapidly increasing colony
of scavengers, mostly girls, from nine
to thirteen years ofage, and wherever
the rubbish heaps are thickest will be
seen ia squad of unsightly children
raking them fore and aft for rags, old
iron and every scrap of paper. In the
morning, about the time stores and
offices are opened, these unsavOry
small cleaners will be found asking
for waste paper. They are clad in
nondescript garments with handker
chiefs on their heads tied firmly under
the chin, and alarge coffee sack slung
over the back. Altogether they have
a very repulsive, uncanny look which
is heightened by filthy skin and foul
looking clothing. The faces are
weather beaten and have Il mature
coarse-grained appearance quite aston
ishing for their tender years. Some
pleasant afternoons two or three OF
this curious craft may be seen seated
on an old wagon box in the rear Of :
confectionery store on Third street
sorting and arranging the days pick
ings.
That is the way it works. Tens o
thousands of children will be driver
headlong to the devil, under the crue
spur Of want, in order to increase tn
purchasing power of the gold dollar
and thus swell the lordly fortunes O

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-01-24

That ably conducted journal, The
Northeastern Chronicle of St.Paul, thus
replies to the Boston Pilot, upon the
question of remonetizing silver:
Now gold and silver constitute the
metallic currency of the world, and
are about of equal amount, two and
one-half billions each. To take from
either Of these money metals its value
as money is to largely increase the
purchasing power of the other. That
is just what happened in 1873 in this
country. This seems too plain for
argument, but we will try to make it
palmer by practical example. Min
nesota raised last year 40 ZOO. 900
bushels of wheat-30, 900, 900 at least
must be sold. The ruling price here
has been Sl.0O per bushel. Then it
requires just $50. 900 900 to move this
crop. Suppose the buyers with $780,
100000 in hand ready to buy-the
farmers ready to sell. One half of

Der the farmer must sell. He has
bought the necessary machinery to
harvest and save this crop, and he
owes for it. The merchant has fur.
nished him supplies, trusting for
repayment when the crop comes in.
Perhaps the land itself is not entirely
clear. mortgage on that. And until
these obligations are provided for nc
further accommodation can be had
So he must sell. Just before the
transfer is made. one half of the $50
900 900 loses its value and for every
dollar on hand to buy there are two
instead of one bushel of wheat deman
ding purchaser. The inevitable
consequence is that wheat falls to 81
or 80 cents. Can our contemporary
see where this trick in the silver
legislation pinches the producer Il
he cannot. the cheated farmer can. Il

farmer can with soc gold buy wha

move this obstacle it was stipulated
in effect that the incumbent should
treat the returns as fraudulent so far
as they affected the local governments
of said states by withdrawing the Uni
ted States troops, the presence Of
which alone. it was known, gave them
any force; that it thus appears that
the constitutional question SO gravely
and deliberately debated in congress
before the electoral commission and
in the public press as the question on
which the presidential contest hinged
and with which the public mind was
so long exercised, had no part what
ever in determining the contest, but
that was in fact determined by body
of men elected by one party, but
openly acting with the opponents in
the interest of certain railraOd corpor-
ations at the decisive moment that
every interest of the country isgreatly
prejudiced and it's most vital interests
are put in jeopardy by suffering the
people to be superseded as the political
power, and substituting for them such
moneyed organizations as will pay for
detrauding them:
These are serious charges; and the
Conkling- Blaine element and the
Southern Republicans will probably
join the Democrats in demanding an
investigation.

declared a semi-annual dividend of
eight per cent. on the first day OF the

Eight per cent. semi-annually is
sixteen per cent. per year J! In adj
dition to this these banks put aside
every year part Of their earnings
which is added to their "surplus
fund" as it is called. This probably
swelled the earnings Of the Second
National bank to not less than twenty
per cent. per annum! And yet they
are not happy.
What other business in the United
States yielded last year net proht
of sixteen Or twenty per cent. per
annum!
About five or six per cent. of this
income is derived from the bonds of
the United States, owned by the
bank, and deposited with the Treasur.
er at Washington as security for their
notes. Why should not greenbacks
be issued in place of these bank notes,
the bonds be taken up and the people
save the taxes which go now to pay
the interest on those bonds! The
banks would still continue as banks OF
deposit and exchange, but not as banks
of issue. And suppose this change
reduced the annual profit Of the banks
