We have not thought it necessary
to dissent from the proposition that
has been discussed recently in this
State to abolish the Bureau of I'm
migration. The views of the
CHRONICLE on this and kindred
subjects are we'll understood. We
know the State is hard up" but
to abolish this Bureau would be too
much like the merchant declining
to display his goods or TO advertise
for customers because times are
hard. We want more population.
We believe We have many adVan-
tages TO offer to persons in search OF
homes. We have a great deal OF
fine agricultural lands; we have q
rare climate and immense mineral
resources. For manufacturing iron
we believe that Tennessee has adj
vantages which no other State IL
the Union can offer. We want the
world to know this, and it must be
the business of some one t.
make it public. 1t is true
the press of the State can DE-
great deal toward it and have
done a great deal, not as much a;
could have been done, however, We
fear. But what is everybody's
business is nobody's business. We
believe the money to pay this bu'
reau has been we'll expended, ant

CONGRESSMAN ACKLEN's moral
status continues to be subject for
controversy. Previous to the late
Congressional election, committee
Of Louisiana Democrats lnVestl-
gated him and found so much crook
edness, that they reported him una
valuable as a Congressional candi-
date. Thereupon the outside world
concluded that his was a case of
extraordinary depravity. He was
elected, however, in the face of the
report. After going to Washing
ton. he exhibited to certain promi-
nent Congressman of both parties,
what he said was the evidence in
the case, and they were induced to
sign a card to the effect that he was
a marvelously proper man. But
this resulted in stirring up the
aforesaid committee Of home Demo
Gratis, and they reiterate their
former conclusion, and give the
evidence upon which it was based,

THE following pertinent remarks
are from the Memphis Il ralanche !:
=. Although, In voting Tor the Blaine
resolutions, Senator's Harris and Bar
lev. of Tennes see, committed an act
aimilar TO that for which the appeal
once bitterly denounced Senator hey
-Bailey's predecessOr-that Jourhal
has not vet found space for condem na-
ton OF Messrs. Harris and Bailey. Inc
A91DedZ said the charges brought 10y
Morton against Mississippi were Hh-
true. and there fore Key committed an
outrage that rendered him infamous.
The ADpedE said the charges brought
by Blaine against louisiana and south
CaroIiua are uutrs.- IF Key commit
ted a gross outrage, Whist was done by
Harris and Bailey, who have followed
Keys example? The public viii be
glad To hear from the Appeal on this
question. In view OF its silence on the
Harris. Bailey vote, 1t would be inter
esting to learn why our contemporary
pounced on Key"
Nearly every Democratic paper
in the State denounced Senator
Key for voting for the Mississippi
resolutions. Not one of them have
denounced Senators Harris and
Bailey. The inference is, that they
now see that Mr.. Key was right
and they were wrong, but they
don't have the manliness to say so

Tie 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
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 will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic 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 tho paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue 70 avoid everything
calculated 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 entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter,
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid anc
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE anC
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the genera
reduction OF values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKL(

times. In the fuqure we will senC

Cuvier asserts that the female cor
set contains large number Of
bones which are not found in mep,
Tor the simple reason that men have
no such organ as the corset, but he
never pretended that girls collars
contain bones. The researches Of
the most experienced investigators
have uniformly failed TO find any
thing appromimatinR to homes In
the collars of either sex. There ia
evidence that at an early period
the female collar was of the deli
cate texture known to anatomists
as lace work. During the present
period, however, it is of the sans
texture and corfguration as the
male collar, and can be distinguish
ed from it only by its comparative.

that frmness is gi, en- to it by a de-
post OF starch, but starch is not

with it. We may safely challenge
the production of one solitary spec.

or even bone in her collar. How
idle, and worse than idle. then, is it
to pretend that girls cannot throw

Discovery Ofa Huge Whfs.
kew Fraud.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
WAsHINGToN, May 7.-Commis.
sioner Raum has been watching the
Cincinnati whiskey ring for six
months. The result is the discov-
cry of fraud upon the government,
! which he estimates will reach ST.
25O,000. This explains the reason
why the Cincinnati distiIlers have
been able to undersell those in ev-
cry other city. This ring is sup'
ported at the department to have
been in operation for one year.
The process cf discovering it has
been very difficult one.
The rese lltion of vestigation
into the Florida and other frauds
in the presidential election ls, it is
stated by member of the House who
has been prominent in the matter,
positively drawn up and ready to
be offered. The reason given for
its non-introductioh up to this time
is the absolute necessity, as stated
by the member, Of having the whole
programme pre-arranged so there
shall be no hitch when the ball is
opened. 1t is considered that there
should be an assurance that the
Democratic majority in the Honse
should be practically at least unani-
nous in favor, ,,ot the investigation b;-
fore motion is made to that effect.
There are number Of Democrats
of the House who say they will not
favor any investigation which has
for its object the expulsion of MIR.
Hayes from the White House, but
they will vote for an Investigation
designed simply to expose frauds
which were committed in the presi-
dental election. A prominent
Southern Democrat, understood to
reflect the sentiments of many of
that section, said that the Demo-
cratic party could not afford to put
itself in the attitude OF undertaking
primarily through congressional
action to correct election frauds IN
State. II was for the State of
Florida, through its regularly con-
stituted authorities, to investig gate
and ascertain the facts contained i'll
the confessions of McLin and Den
mis-, and if they were ascertained to
be true the State authorities should
pnt McLin and Dennis in the penis
tentialy.
Then if the State of Florida
should send a memorial to Congress
after the fashion of the Maryland
memorial, it would be competent and
proper for Congress to take action.
If the resolution of investigation bs
SO modified as to provide only for an
exposure of the facts it will be much
easier to draw support to it than
otherwise.
