He certainly controls his own paper, and as
we can see nothing in his old trade that
would lead him TO villify one who bad risen
like this same harnessmaker from poverty
to comfort, from obscurity to prominence
we can only conclude that the moral atmos-
phere surrounding HIM is not as
healthy as that that blesses our

officials holding positions of honor and trust
tends to sink in the minds Of the people the
Importance and responsibility, the honor

1t also tends to fill our offices with men who
have no particular sensibility on this subject

Governor Williams was corrupt, il his de-
clslons were for sale, or his ACTIONS venal,
the Journal would be right. But he is above
reprOacn ana can not De attacked on tnlS
point. So the Journal selects those charac-
teristics that have made him and his position
as vulnerable points in his character, and in
attacking them attacks just what
has made this country what it rds
when republicanism took charge of it.
The corruption of Its leaders, the frauds that
elevated Hayes, the legislation that has
bankrupted the people and enriched the re-
publican missions who enacted it, are all
upheld, defended and justified. Dishonesty,
treachery and robbery are embraced and
hinged to the radical bosom; and, in at
lacking an honest, conscientious, upright
man, the Journal only illustrates that fea-
ture of radicalism which shows what hat
red they have for those things that honest
men most venerate.

Henry Ward Beecher, who is now chap

other call upon the 18th to suppress riot

The democratic party in congress has
determined upon policy of reform and of
economy. The country isstill in the grasp Of
the radical curse of contraction; failures
multiply, taxation bears heavily upon all
interests, the people are poor and Empower

thousands are idle. The situation
demands economy, and the belief is
universally entertained that the army is
unnecessarily large and expensive. There

Importance of India to England.

ald the British government began, at the
close of the American revolution, to COM

Yorktown signalized the final defeat of
Hyder Ali, and the Marquis CORVALLIS was
sent to preside over India before the adop-
ton OF our constitution. In 1858 the East
India company ceased TO exist, and
eighteen years thereafter the queen
added to the jewels of her crown that

to a worthy gentleman who is claimed
and hoDored by Memphis as we'll as Hay
wood county;
We are grati6ed to learn that the gov
ernor has appointed Colonel Nathan
Adams one of the delegates from Ten
uessee to the Paris Exposition, which
meets next Nay. This is the third time
Colonel Adams has been called upon to
represent our State in France. First.
be was sent to Vienna by Governor
Brown in 1873; second, by Governor
Porter to the geographical congress in
1873, and again this year. Haywood
county is naturally proud to possess a
citizen who brings its people into such
prominence. Colonel Adams has had so
much experience in foreign affairs that
his appointment is but a just tribute to
his fitness for the position. Tennessee
will be represented By him,
We learn that Colonel Adams will sail
from New York early in May, aud ex-
poets to spend the greater part of the
SUMMED at the Paris Exposition, where
he will be a representative in fact as we'll
as in name.
