THE
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879
THE
Subserfb ior a Good, Reliable News
paper.

rhv 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 contln-
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
q 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 a 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 a 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 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 WIG 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
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

EARLY CLOSING.

An eastern exchange paper says: 1t
being learned in New York that the Phlla-
delphia stock exchange had decided to close
at one o'clock on Saturdays, a movement was
started among some of the New York
brokers. the object of which is to inaugurate
the one o'clock Saturday closing arrange
ment in the New York stock exchange. All
the other exchanges in New York close at
that hour on that day, and throughout
Europe the plan has succeeded with salts
faction" This is an example worthy of the
attention of our own cotton exchange. With
only about four thousand bales OF cotton In
the city, with many merchants leaving on
their summer excursion, with almost IN
variably light business on that day, why
should the exchange be kept open until dusk
on Saturday evening? We may go further and
ask why, after July sets in, merchants
generally should not close earlier every even
ing, especially on Saturdaysl The retail
stores might also benefit the same way dur
ing the ''dead season." especially if the la
dies and others would sufficiently compass
sionate the tired clerks-female as well as
male, who have been confined all day in the
hot stores and kept on their feet-and would
make their purchases not later than four
o'clock in the evening. How much good a
little thoughtfulness of this kind, little eff
fort to do to others as we would wish them
to do to US, would do. Cannot an effort be
made in this direction by which the welfare
of many could be aided at no cost to those
who do the goodP

WEEPING FOB GARRISON
In Atlanta under the Lead OF the Orig
inaI Reverend Benny Haven, O.
The Fell Spirit OF slavery
still Lives. and yet the
Country PrOspers.

Augusta COnStitutiOndhst: From the At
lanta Dispatch we learn that large meeting
was held In that city, Sunday evening, to
commemorate the death of William Lloyd
Garrison, the veteran Abolitionist. 1t was
held in colored Methodist church, and was,
doubtless, composed principally of colored
persons, as the white people of the place had
no reason to feel any very poignant grief
over Mr.. Garrison's taking off. The presid
ing officer of the occasion was the mendacious
and vindictve Bishop Haven, true blood
hound of Zion, whose mission 1T has been
to SOW the seeds of enmity between the
two races of the south. The resolutions
passed were,i as matter OF course,
highly eulogistic of the deceased. One
of them called for absolute equality In
'sschool, church and society," of the two
races As the colored people already have
as good schools as the whites, and as they
can have as good q. e., as Handsomely
the resolution really demands only social
equality. AS there is no such thing in the
world, as there never has been and never
will be, the demand of the Atlanta meeting
ls not likely to be complied with. The fifth
resolution reads as follows: "While we
regret the refusal of our chief magistrate to
grant US the use OF the capitol, and of our
only morning daily to publish the notice of
this meeting among the proper religious mo-
tees, we regret it for their sake more than for
our own, especially as 1t shows that
the fell spirit of that slavery which Lloyd
Garrison assailed and overthew still lives Ia
many breasts, and must be opposed by prayer
and persistent effort on the part of his friends
and followers, until 1t is utterly and eternally
destroyed" We do not know that it is Gus
tomary for the governor to allow public meet
ings to be helG in the capitol, though we be-
lieve ne has permitted them to be held there
on a few occasions. He probably declined to
grant the request in this instance because the
meeting was TO be held on Sunday. Still. we
see no reason why the admirers of the dead
Abolitionist should not have been allowed to
have their fun in the Statehouse, if they
80 desired. The Georgia whites, though
their government once offered reward
for his head, care nothing about Garri-
son-indeed would have forgotten him but
for an occasional yawp from the agitator.
The issue that gave him fame or infamy is
as dead as he, and panegyrics upon the old
band of south haters no longer disturb the
equanimity of the southern people. We
have not only given up slavery, but We have
forgotten it and all its blessings and curses.
We feel, too, that our enemies did not really
harm us. In defeat we have found strength
and to the new generation which controls the
south, the names of Garrison and Gerrit
Smith and John Brown are but an empty
sound Therefore, we say, why not have let
Bishop Haven beat the air of the Statehouse.
