From now until November, 1880, will be
political history of this Republic. On the
14th day of next month, the people of
Ohio will elect Governor and other State
officers. Heretofore, parties have been
very evenly divided there, which, together
with the important influence which the re-
contest of next year, gives the contest a
national interest, and its decision will be
regarded with deep concern in every nook
and corner of the Union. Two strong
tickets are in the field, and the battle is be-
ing waged with vigor which shows that
each party fully appreciates the prize for
which they are striving.
In November, the great State of New
York will elect Governor, State
officers and Legislature. This
too is contest Of the highest National i'm
portance The Democrats for several
years haYe been in the ascendancy there,
but they are now disturbed by internal
dissensions, which, together with the dis
advantage at which they are placed by
being held responsible for the policy inau-
gurated by their leaders in Congress, gives
the Republicans great encouragement.
This, together with thorough conviction
of the righteousness of their cause, in
spires them with courage and confidence,
and they are determined to ntest every
every inch of the ground with that resolute
xuh oh -
soldiers fighting for the dearest and most
cherished principles. The result in that
State will be look ed to all over the Nation
with an interest never before felt in State
election. The giants of both political par
ties, all over the Nation, will take part in
the contest and the issues involved viii
be ably and thoroughly discussed.
Elections will also be held in November,
in Iowa, Wisconsin. Nebraska, Minnesota,
Mas -achuetts and Pennsy vania. In each
of these States the va great political par.
ties will put forth their best efforts, and re-
suits will be looked to with extraordinary
interest
On the first Monday in December Con-
gress meets again, and the SESSION promises
to be one of extraordinary interest. The
leaders will contend with each other for
the vantage ground upon which to make
the great political fight of nextyear, when
President is to be elected and a.new Con.
gress to be chosen. Every man who feels
| any interest in politics will desire to watch
every step of the preliminary struggle.
Already an intense interest is manifested
/ in the Presidential struggle of 1880. Boil
parties are on the alert, wide awake
to take advantage of wha!eVel
the leaders may imagine to be con
ducive to their party soecess. Early mex

THURSDAY, SEPT. IS. 1879.

Our city authorities, while they
are considering the financial condi-
ton of Knoxville, must not fail to
go to the bottom facts. It viii do
no good to shut our eyes and refuse
to acknowledge the fact that our
floating debt is more than seventy
FIVE thousand dollars. There is but
one way to pay it, and that is by
taxation. So long as Ve fail to pay
our debts the city's obligations will
peddled about the streets, and those
who serve the city, either as teach
ers or laborers on the streets. must
suffer loss. It sounds very
pretty for man to
talk elOquently and literally about
paying the horny-handed work
ingman, who breaks rocks through
summers heat and winters cold
on the streets, but to talk that way
and make no provisions for payment
is the act Of hypocrite and swim
dler.
Every man with sense enough to
know that two and two are four,
knows that we must do one of two
things in Knoxville. We must
either spend less money or pay
higher taxes. We have been going
steadily in debt for several years.
The city owes more than it ever did.
With the rate of taxation paid last
year, and the expenditures already
made and in contemplation, the deb
will not be dollar less at the enc
Of the fiscal year than it was al
the beginning. If there has bees
any great reduction of expenses,
the fact has not been made mani.
fest. The salaries of the police
have been slightly reduced, but 9th
ers have not.
The question of taxation was a
the last meeting of the Board re
-.
ferred to the Finance Committee
and that committee will make re
port at the next meeting of tn
City Council, we presume. LIE
them make a full report. Let then
show why an increase Of taxes i
demanded. Let them show wha
the debt is, and if not by an In
crease of taxes, how it is to be paid
And then upon these facts let tn
Board act as courageous bushes
men, having the welfare Of the cit,
at heart.

THE NO.RELIGIoNISTS IN
COUNCIL.

Col. Bob Ingersoll, with bis re-
ligio-political associates, composed
of Socialists, in6dels, free>thinkers
and liberal-leaguers, met in con-
vention in Cincinnati last week for
the purpose of organizing a new
and liberal party. They denounced
the Bible as book too innocent to
be read, discussed railroad monopo-
lies, expressed sympathy for Ben
nett, who is in the penitentiary for
sending obscene literature through
the mails, demanded a change in
the postal laws, mathematical CAPT.
talists, called for the repeal OF
sumptuary and Sabbath laws, de-
fined liberalism and socialism, drank
beer and heard speech from Bob
Ingersoll. With so many persons
of all ages, sexes and conditions
present doing the devils work, one
enterprising sky-scraper thought
it was a good time to deliver O
lecture, and chose theme with the
euphonious title, "Hen closed for
repairs"
They were about equally severe
on the Church and State, Col. Inger
soil claiming in one of his speeche
that neither had the right to "com
between man and wife," whateve
he means by that. The platform
adopted is very broad one and wa
constructed with view to pleasinI
all the odds and ends Of Gods ere
alton, from the scholarly devotee
Voltaire down to the lowest tram

THERE is some disagreement in
the "No-tax" party as to who shall
be admitted to their pow-wow,
called to meet in Nashville on the
23d of next month. The Franklin
Review is willing to admit Demo-
Gratis who voted for the 50-4 prop
osition, provided they have re-
pented of their folly and will agree
to do so no more. If Gov. Porter,
Gov. Brown, John G. Burch, Con-
gresham Atkins, Senator Bailey,
Mr.. Enloe and Col. Colyar will get
down on their knees to Savage L
Co., and obligate themselves to
favor reputation, under this pro-
gramme, they will not be read out
of the Democratic party.
But Col. Savage, We under
stand, is going to be very
liberal about it. He is willing to
admit everybody, without regard to
color or former party affiliations,
provided they are for the repudia-
ton of the State debt. The assem>
bling Of the convention should be a
gala day. The Jail, work-house and
penitentiary should be thrown open,
and their inmates given a holiday.
Let them put on their Sunday at
tire and join with the repudiationists
in high carnival over the scheme Of
Wholesale robbery.

AS was expected, the papers at
the North are having something to
say of the Kemper county farce.
The Chicago Tribune, one of the
ablest, most influential and most
conservative Republican papers in
the Northwest says of the result:
1.-THE extraordinary result of this
trial shows conclusiveiy that the ordi-
nary processes of law are DO long. r
possible 10 Mississippi, and that the
authorities of that State have no
longer the power to protect the lives Of
sentiment of its people is completely
left who still have q belief in law and
Justice they dare not assert it in the
presence of the mob which overrides
the authorities with perfect impunity.
It shows that scores of ruffians. known
to be murderers, are not even required
to give bonds fort heir appears nee
for trial, but roam at large
unchallenged by those whose
duty It is to preserve the peace
It shows that caime of the blackes t
description can no longer be punished.
The mob holds full and complete sway,
aud the entire machinery OF law has
been smashed. 1t is not only dis.
grace to Kemper county, but to the
whole State, for such a condition of
things could not have occurred if the
majority Of the people had not been
Z had
not been debauched by these gangs OF
rowing ruffians. It is the most damn
ing Impeachment that has yet been
made OF the party which invented the
Mississippi Plan. which has I'M
furled The banner of State rights,
and which seeks to gain control
The Republican party can not
afford to let this matter drop, because
this murderer has been acquitted in
open defiance Of law and testimony.
Judge Chisolm was murdered becau> G
he was a Republican and was in the
way OF bis Democratic competitor for
Congress. and bis children were MUIR
dered because they tried to save their
father. The party which invented
this infamous policy, and which up
holds it as one OF the principal features
Of State ri hts, should be held strietly
responsible. II there we're no other
issues in the campaign, the DeKslb
trial alone ought to rouse every man
who has respect for human life and for
law aud order to the determination to
do his utmost to stamp out this odious
and wicked dogma, and vote down the
party which sustains it.
