The State of East Tennessee "
is what they propose to call the new
one. 1t is to be composed out Of
the thirty counties East of the Cum
berland mountain in Tennessee, aud
then one or two counties are to be
borrowed from Kentucky, three or
four frou Virginia. two or three from
North Carolina, and one or two, in
Guiding the Estate of Dade," from
Georgia. This would make a first
rate mountain State, and We have
always been about half way in fav.
or of the change. 1t would make a
thriving, tiourishing capital city of
Knoxville and the new State would
impart life aud energy to all the
region round about. Whenever the
proposition is properly brought be-
fore the people we expect to vote
for it and to advocate it. Let US
have the new State Of East Ten
nessee." 1t will be Radical, but
nevertheless let us have it. One
very strong reason with us is-if the
new State is established and The
capitol is located at Knoxville, those
fellows will have a Penitentiary aud
a Lunatic Asylum. They need them
both.

WE CANNOT see that the bill re-
Gently fled in the Cbancery Court at
RogersvilIe TO restrain the County
Court from levying a tax to meet
the interest on the bonds Of the
county will in any wise effect the
status of those bonds. Irthey were
illegally issued, as we believe they
we're, the Taxpayers have submitted
to that illegal act so long that they
have thus recognized the debt as le-
gal and made 1t binding upon them.
Innocent parties may, and probably
have, invested their money in those
bonds because the people of the
county were paying the interest
semi annually without complaint.
thus leading capitalists TO think the
bonds were all right and in gqrlh4s-
ing them they were making q safe
investment. And if, as the bill al
leges, twenty FIVE thousand dollars
worth of the bonds have never been
disposed of for the benefit Of the
railroad company, still the u,atter
does not ia any wise concern the
people of Hawkins county. The
county owed the stock to the COM
pany. The chairman Of the County
Court delivered the bonds TO the
President of the railroad company
who received them for the compRny,
Aud now, it seems to Us, that If the
bonds took any wrong direction at
ter going into his hands that would
be a question between the railroad
company and its officer, and could
not in any wise inYalidate the bonds.
The bill, however, asks the Chan
cellor to compel the revenue collect.

TO come forward and give an account
of the amount of money collected
from the people each year since

the court refuses TO grant the injunc-
ton prayed for, still under tho ae-
Tious chaFees either made or implied

THE MEMBERS Of the Tennessee
Legislature are not in favor of re-
pudiating the State debt. There is
not a repudiator in the Honorable
body. Nevertheless the taxes will
be levied at about seven cents-just
enough to meet the current expenses
of the State government, just as if
we didn't owe any debt at all. 1t is
said "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" but 1t doesn't
follow that something which stinks
would smell as sour if you were to
call 1t a rose.

lists when they grumbIe at the con-
duct of the new State. Well, it is
said that reformed drunkards are the
hardest people in the world on whis-
ky drinkers, and upon the same
principle. we suppose that rogue,
when be finds himself clear of the
law is the Ioudest condemner Of dis
honesty. AS a general rule it will
not do to trust the man who boasts
Of his own honesty in public places
and at the same time sneers at other
people. Solid honesty is like troP
piety-it never brags.

II Is SAID that bad temper and
fretfulness kills people. This may
be so. But we know some chronic
old scolders and constitutional fault,
finders who have not been in good
humor with anybody but themselves
for years and years. They are as
sour as vinegar, aud as wretched as
it is possible for wFe; ehed humanity
10 be, and seem to have a peculiar
talent for making other people un-
happy, but they do not show any
signs Of dying. Bad temper may
kill, but il is 9 very SLOW sort Of
poison.

SINCE THE drinking shops have
been closed in Sneedville. by the
operation of the chartered school
law, we are told it has become one
of the most quiet, peaceable villages
in the State. A drunken man is
rarely seen in the streets, and even
on public days and during court
week driulIing has greatly decreased
and fighting or disQrderly behavior
are not often heard of. The good
citizens Of that town are TO be con-
graduated on the improved state of
morals. II is certainly to be hoped
that our Legislators will let that
four mile prohibitory law stand. 1t

BUSINESS is said to be revi wing
throughout the country, and bust
ness men generally are beinning to
wear more cheerful countenances.
1t is to be hoped the country has at
last reached the bottom Of hard
times and from now on prosperity is
to revive. We hope this is to be
the case, not that we see any cause
for better times. Everything the
farmer makes is exceedingly low,

PROFESSOR TICE has been very
busy for the last four weeks. He
has been trying to keep up with the

suddenly and so often that he has

changes three times before he can
wake up; and when he is awake and

THE CITIZENS of Bristol want a
court established in that town. They
ought to have it. Goodsen, right
across the big road, ought to have a
courthouse, too. The fact is, the
State.line ought to be changed up
there, and both Of those towns fused
into one. 1t would be cheaper. We
suggest that Tennessee and Virginia
draw straws, as to which State shall
have both towns.

THIS present Tennessee Legisla-
ture is a little smarter than some
people and some editors gave it
credit for being. The first act pass
ed was Que reducing the salaries Of
Judges, &c. This act was ridiculed
because those officers were recently
elected for eight year terms, and it
was unlawful to reduce an office~'s
salary during the term for which, he
had been elected. But now see how
easy they propose to get over the
difficulty. The plan is 10 abolish
all the Courts in the State except
the Supreme and County Courts and
to organize a new Court having
Chancery and Criminal jurisdiction.
Twenty-one new Judges are TO be
elected in August to receive such
salaries as the Legislature may fix,
aud of course all the present Chan.
ceIlors and Circuit Judges will have
to vacate and retire to private life
unless they are reelected. The bill
is likely to pass.

WE read a statement in the New
York San tue other day that intern
perance WAS fearfully on the increase
among the women of the United
States. II was said that thousands
and thousands Of them, especially
among the fashionable and wealthy
classes, were in the habit of using
alcoholic stimulants every day. This
habit is undermining their health,
destroying their constitutions, short.
ening their lives aud bringing great
evil on society and the country. All
of which is very sad. 1t ought not
TO be. But then the women have
just as much right to drink whisky
and get drunk as the men. Some
how it looks worse and brings more
scandal on woman to get drunk
than for man to do so, but that is
because we are used to seeing men
make hogs of themselves and have
rarely ever seen or heard Of tipsy
woman. The sin is the same.

WHEN THE next Congress as
sembles the Democrats will have a
majority in the Senate as well as in
the House of Representatives. The
only obstacle in the way of liberal
National Legislation will then be the
bogus President who fraudulently
occupies the Executive Office. After
1880 the country will be clear of
him, too.
