EX-GOVERNOR BRoWNLoW.


GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND read q
poem on 1.-The Press at Rochester, N.
Y, Several weeks since, in which he
thus felicltously alluded to the bril-
liant journalistic record of Hon. w. G..
BrownIow, of Tennessee:
Not in rich cities only live the men
Whose strength of purpose glorifes the
When Pharaoh trembled lest his slaves
might go, tE4 -}NEEI /
And all his placemen sought our over
throw.
In the Wild hills of Eastern Tennessee,
OF all r bellion's citadel the key,
One man arose no Gesler could compel,
And William Brownlow stood like Will
Coarse vas his phrase. but barbed with
loyal wit;
Not for the style, but the effect he writ.
They hanged his readers, bat confessed hi:
art
Plain preacher of the instincts of tn,
heart -r-
And drove him forth, palsied in all bu
will,
Abasbed to answer and afraid to kill.
Yet where he sowed grain came to shea
and stock.
His spirit stood on Chiekamaugs rock
On lookout Mountain waved the holy flag
And Chattanooga put an end to Bragg;
By Jackson's name in every Union hut
Stand Brownlow, johnson, Houston, Far
ragut.
Mr.. Townsend's tribute to the Jour
nalistic ability and patriotism of tn.
dead journalist is very happy. HI
mistakes, however, in characterizine
his phrases as COARSE" He was {
vigorous and graceful writer, and hii
satire and wit were of the .keenes
description. 80 -- =
The above is from the Nationa
Republican. 1t will be read will
interest by the thousands who reat
the CHRONICLE and who revere tn
memory of our late distinguish
Senior Editor. The comments Q
the National Republican are correct

and his language emphatic, but ne

future that We have pursued in the
past. @
Our correspondent is evidently in
favor of paying the whole debt, and
if he can succeed in working up
public sentiment that will accom-
plish that result, we will bid him
God speed. But despairing Of such
result, and believing with the ell
der Pitt that craftsmanship con-
sists, not in always doing the very
best thing, but the best thing at
tainable under the circumstances,
we were in favor of settling on the
sixty cents basis, and when that
could not be done, we now favor the
next best thing, the ffty-four
proposition. ~
We do not dispute what he says
as to what the "Reppblicans and
the better partof the Democrats"
in McMinn county are for, but we
fear if what he states be true, that
they are in a hopeless minority, as
the Representative from that coun-
ty and the Senator in the last Leg
islature who represented that Sena-
torial District, both voted against
the sixty cents proposition and then
against even the fifty cents PROPOSE
ton IF We remember correctly
this same correspondent sent us q
very severe communication las
summer, in which he spoke in scath'
ing terms of the action of thu
Republicans of McMinn on thu
State debt question. What ou
our correspondent states is tru
doubtless, but if so, the State credi
| men of McMinn certainly neglected
to do their duty in electing repre-
sentatives to the last Legislature
We trust they will succeed bette
next time.
The questions of our correspond
ent would have received earlier at
tention, but for the absence of tn
editor from the city.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATE
DEBT. .~

Mr.. EDITOR: Honesty Is the sheet
anchor of nations safety. Honesty
is a nation'r greatest and grandest
wealth. Honesty is the palladium of
q nations liberty, Honesty is the
brightest gem that sparkles in the cor
onal of nations honor. Honesty is
the substratum of a nations true and
lasting prosperity. Therefore, let me
ask few questions touching the hon.
esty or dishonesty of the great State of
Tennessee.
1st. Has the majority of the credi-
tors of the State proposed any conapro-
mise 2 ~ -.s-.-
2ud. What amount of the State
debt was represented by the bond
holders who proposed 10 take sixty
per cent, with, six per cent. interest I?
3rd. / have seen ii stated In your
columns, and in other papers, that
only about five million dollars were
represented by those who have offered
to accept the f1fty.and-four PROPOSE
ton, is that true2
Attn. IF true, has Governor Marks
complied with the recent act of the
Legislature which reads: "Be it
further enacted, that the proposition
to settle the State Indebtedness
contained in this or any other
bill that shall pass, shall not be sub
mitted to the voters of the State, nor
the Legislature convened until the
Governor shall communicate with the
bond holders, or their chairman. noti-
flying them of the action Of the Legis-
lature, and when he shall have OBJ
tanned the acceptance Of said proposi-
ton FROM an equal number in amount
as now propose TO take sixty cents in
the dollar and six per cent. INTEREST," ?
9Th. IF Governor Marks has not vic.
lated that act by submitting the
504 proposition to the voters
of the State, was there ever
a bona tide proposition from the
bOndholders representing the major
ity of the bonds TO take sixty pei
cent, with six per cent. interest?
9th. Is it right to pay dishonest
debit N N ss.3rH' sea ariA
76n. Is it not dishonest AMI mean tc
refuse to pay and to repudiste an hon
est debt? so. 7s"E. <5f7
8th. Are those bondhoIders who
represent nineteen million dollars OF
the State debt to be controlled by those
who represent five million dollars?

The Greenback boom has strnck \
adverse currents in the on-r rushing
tide of prosperity that is infusing new
life into all business activities. The
spouting orators of the imitation
movement have hoped to inspire the
labo,ing classes with the idea that a
sine qua non with them was an in
crease in the volume of the currency,
forgetting that while wages would
thus be slightly increased, the prices
Of every thing the laborer buys
would be SO advanced that DAVIS
wages would purchase less than it has
in the past. The great question is,
what will a days labor buy ? During
the speculative, seven years, follow
ing 1860, wages increased sixty per
cent. while the prices of all commodi-
ties rose ninety per cent. diminishing
the purchasing power of u days labor
thirty per cent. Wages are now
twenty -four per cent. highe, than in
1860, while retail prices are only
fourteen per cent. more than they
we've at the same tine, TINS making
the value Of a days labor ten per
cent. more than it was in 1860.
