others constructed, of which our
correspondent speaks, Knoxville
and the surrounding country would
be benefited thousands of dollars.
The increase in the value of taxa
bic property would soon pay the
expense eff constructing the roads.
Our people seem hard to awake on
this subject, but if we reach the
state of prosperity which we all so
much desire, We must improve our
roads. 1t is an absolute necessity,
and it is perfectly preposterous to
think of such a thing without it. We
must be more enterprising or die
out and give way to others who will
appreciate the country in which We
live.

TURNPIKFS.

Yesterday morning We published
a communication from a correspond
ent on the subject of turnpikes.
Too much can not be said in favor
Of building turnpike roads. If
any one doubts what they will do
for a country, let him ride out six
miles from Knoxville on the Taze-
well road. A few years ago the
country through which it passes
was similar to that through which
nearly all the roads leading out
from Knoxville pass. Now, the
road is lined with well-improved
farms, adorned with handsome resi-
dences, fine barns, and every evil
dence of thrift and enterprise to be
found on the farm. At some points
little villages are springing up, and
in a few years it will be continuous
villages all the way.
This is what has been done for
the country trayersed. The city has
been equally benefited. With that
turnpike finished to Tazewell, and

ABOUT d" HONOR"

1t is curious what wonderful ideas
some people have about "hOnOr."
We have such people here in Ten
nessee. Here is one who is so SEN
sitivo about his honor that he
carries a pistol in his pocket or a
Colts navy belted to his person to
defend it upon the slightest provoca-
ton. If it is impeached, he is
ready to perforatc the impcacher
with bullet-holcs on the spot. He
CANDLES sometimes and if he is
beaten, he pays up every cent, even
if he suspects that his antagonist
had an extra ace up his sleeve. He
considers this debt of honor, and
rather than place a blot on his
"honah, he would raise the mony
if he had to persuade his grand
mother to mortgage her plantation
to get it. He loiters about bar,
rooms, talks politics on the streets,
smokes other peoples cigars and
fills his stomach with mean whisky
bought on credit, but this matters
naught. He regards labor as de-
grading and fit only to be engaged
in By ringers " and "poOr white
trash" He talks long and loud
and eloquently about his sacred
honor"
But while he is 50 honorable in
some respects, he is singularly lax
in others. Honor demands, in his
estimation, that he should wear
good clothes, but does not require
that he should pay his tailor's bills.
He is willing that the State of
Tennessee should borrow money for
the erection of a superb States
house, but his idea of honor doesn't
demand that the money should ever
be repaid. In such things he ap-
pears to act on the principle, "let
him take who has the power, and
let him keep who can" He might
not openly approve of highway
robbery; but, if the creditors of the
State can be robbed by legal tech-
nicalities, he thinks it is all right.
What other people would call
knavery, he regards as a sharp
trick, indicative of superior breed
ing. On the same principle that
he refuses to pay his taller and for
the whisky he drinks, he would de-
fraud the State creditors out of
their just dues. Verify this is a
curious idea of honor.

Subscrib iOr Good, Reliable News
paper.

he DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
viii 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-
aation 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.
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
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish 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 will endeavor 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 general
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 subscribers on
the following

the debate which was opened in the
Senate yesterday on Mr.. Blaine's
resolutions:
Debate on Senator Bieii e's resolu-
ton, directing al inquiry into the late
elections, will begin "Wednesday.
fhere is no reference in this resolG-
ton TO the South. Ii simply provides
that the Judiciary Committee shall in
quire aud report whether tue cODsii =
Iutioual rights of American citizens
were violated in any OF the States of
the Union during the recent elections,
and whether through frauds, violence,
threats, or hostile demonstrations the
right OF suffrage was denied to voters.
The committee ia also instructed 10 re-
port w hether it is within the cOmpe-
Iency of Congress 10 provide by add
tionsl legislation for the more perfect
security of the rights of suffrage to
citizens in all the States of the Union"
and is authorized, in prosecuting its
inquiries. 10 send for persons and
papers. Much as the Democrats would
prefer to preserve silence on this
theme, they will be forced TO speak.
The Southern Senators will be goaded
by the thrusts of Blaine's free lance
into violent replies, the Northern Dem
Ocrats will fly TO their rescue. and the
BOurbOns will find themselves in the
very trap that their more cautious
leaders would fain keep them out of.
" The inquiry proposed Is most
reasonable thing, aud in view Of Fer
