THE
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879.
Subscrib Tor a Good, Reliable News
paper.
THE


The 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 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 the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
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
~ correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
ican 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 WEEKLQ
WIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
lines. In the future we will send
'ur weekly paper to subscribers on
he following.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The Presidential Contest of 1880,
Grant and Tilden-Judge
Key and the Southern
Republicans.

1t is astonishing with what eager.
ness and interest the people, as
we'll as the politicians, everywhere
are discussing the choice of candi~
dates most likely to be made by the
Republican and Democratic parties
for the Presidential campaign Of
1880. This city is the place, above
all others in the country, where
men can be found Of all shades of
opinion, ready at all times
to discuss the political situa-
ton and make prophecies as
to the future. But, while this is
true of Washington, as a general
proposition, and a person not fa-
miliar with the ways of politicians
would become hopelessly entangled
in an effort to reconcile the great di-
versity of views, and, to arrive at
any conclusion as to who will be
put forward as candidates; yet, in
the present state of affairs, any
man of ordinary disccrnment can
see at once that no one but Grant,
and Grant alone, stands the re-
hottest prospect of getting the Re
publican nomination.
1t is not a movement Of the poll
ticians, but the uprising of the peo-
pie all over the country, that will
force his nomination even should
the politicians oppose him.
The New York Times of yester~
day has reports from correspond
ents from one hundred and seventy
different localities, embracing all
sections and in every State, from
which it is seen that no other mans
name will be mentioned in the cons
vention. God "Grant" it may
be so. On the other hand
while the Dem ocratic vo-
tiers are opposed to Tilden
the politicians will on account of
their desperate situation, and the
convincing arguments, which will
flow from the " bar'I' find his nom>
ination. 1 find some Democrats
here, however, who still trust that
this is not a true statement Of the
case. but they are hoping against
hope, and may as well make up
their minds now to take their choice |
between the hero of the war and the |
childish and childless old paralytic
of Gramercy Park.
A correspondent of the National
Republican, of this city, signing
himself Southern Republican, -
has written one or two letters to
that paper, in which he has taken
occasion to denounce the Admins
tration, and the Northern Republi-
can generally, for the treatment the
Southern Republicans have received
1t the hands of the President and
heir Northern brethren. While |
think the Southern Republicans, in
some some instances, have been
badly treated, yet | must be
permitted to say that the
statement of this correspondent
hat Judge Keys appoiL tment was
! SANDER upon the character of
Southern Republicans, and was
ritual endorsement of Democratic
lie, that no Southern Republican
ould be found worthy to fill the place,
8 not true, and was not, at the time,
egarded in any such light by Ten
essee Republicans. While there
we're a number of prominent Re-

Meridian Mercury.1
We believe, as firmly as we be-
lieve there is a God, that MisSiS-
sippi has come near being the scene
of the horrible mist axe of executing
by sentence OF law an innocent man;
as it is, the mistake Of cOnsigning
him to felOn's cell for life is ter
rible enough to teach a humiiating
lesson of the weakness of poor
human methods of arriving at the
guilt or innocence of members of
human society accused of crime.
Before God, those who administers
ed the law meant only to do even
and exact Justice to an accused in
dividual, and yet, the result has
been that he who had first been
wronged and outraged beyond
human endurance. aud then, in seek
ing, in most natural and hOnOr>
able way, some redress for his
pains aud b'eediug honor, was driv

sion of .juStifiab'e homicide, was

penitenti.ry instead extended to
him! When Cameron fell at Craw-
ford on the - day of July, shot
through the brain by William B.
Cavarah, he held in his hand a
cooked kukluX pistol, and was in-
tending, aud proceeding to carry the
in ent into execution, of taking his
lite. Yet even the merciful doubt
the law accords to all who are ac-
cu>ed before it sprang out of the
evidence TO shield him. Human
tribunals of justice, are like the
weak mortals who WELD them, liable
to commit grievOus errors. Cover
rOr Stone has committed the sent
ence Of Cavanah to Imprisonment
tor life moved, possibly, by Divine
Goodness, in Gods own good time,
70 teach again mans fallibility and
dependence upon an All-wiSe God
for directions TO intlict justice upon
his fellow.
We have faith that, before Cav
anah'S case pass away from the
minds Of men, the facts in it (upOn
credible evidence) will assume "A

the Republican leaders. They have
made desperate effort to take the
country by storm, and they wonh
rather die than fail. They seem to-
feel that Grant is the only man who
can save them and their party from
defeat and humiliation, and if he
cannot, then there is no salvation
tor them.
Therefore, the people of the
United States will most likely be
called on to once more vote for or
against Grant. If they want the
days OF despotism to come back
again, when the will of one man will
De the law of the land. and the
army used to enforce it, if disputed;
II they want their elections to be
carried for the Republican party at
the point of the bayOnet; if they
want the South to again become a
mere province of the North, to be
ruled by satraps appointed at
Washington; If they want the
Treas ury to be again plundered by
thIeves, the country to be Overrun
by spies and informers, and again
taxed to death to keep up an army
of marshals and insignificant office
holders if they want another reign
of the BabcOcks, the Relknaps, the
Joices, the McDonalds, tie jay
Cooks and the BOSS" Shepherds :;
in short, if they want restoration
of all the deviltry. crime, corrup-
ton, sin and shamelessness that cx-
listed and were rampant under
Grants former administra.i ons, they
will help to elect him for third
term. Ii they do not, but on
the contrary want constitutional
administration of the Government
and an epoch of purity and wisdom
in its conduct, they will vote against
him and do all they can to promote
the success of the Democratic nom.
inee. If Grant should get into
}pOwer once more, Frank Z. Blair's
prophecy will come true, and he
will never again lay it down but
with his life. Meantime Republi,
