ANOTHER EXODUS.

AS our readers know, there is
another exodus going on now from
the South to the West. This time
the emigrants are not from Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and other terror
lied States, but from North Carolina,
which has been comparatively free
from this spirit of persecution. The
class of negroes seeking new homes
is better than that fleeing from the
cotton States. They are in nearly
all cases able to pay their own way
to the land of freedom, and are
Woodworking, honest men and
women.
The reasons given for the move
ment by the emigrants themselves
are four in number. (I) The poor
whites are literally worthless and
must be partly supported by the
negroes. ~ The political aspect
is very bad. North Carolina is
Republican State, but Democratic
canvassers render it otherwise. (3l
The Road Act. This is a
peculiarly aggravating law and
falls most heavily on the
colored people on account of them
being in large majority of the
working class. By it the overseers
are enabled to call on them to work
the roads thirty days IN the gear or
fine them $1.oO day. Now the
average Southern laborer does not
make more than 5000 a year, work.
ing full time, and when $50 or
thirty days work is taken from this
sum it bears very heavily upon the
poor man, who must support him.
self and family on the residue.
(3) The Landlord and Tenant
act. This requires another expfa~
nation. By its provisions the land
lord holds a mortgage on the crop
of his tenant, and the rent
and whatever amount may be
loaned or advanced to the tenant,
must be paid before any of the
crop may be removed. The statute
places non-observance of this law
as felony and punished by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. Thus
rent must practically be paid in
advance if the tenant would have
the use of his growing crop. This
works another hardship which falls
most heavily on the negroes, be-
cause they are the majority of the
producing class.
A few more movements of this
kind will have a salutary influence
in working out to the dominant
class Sonth that the working men
have some rights which even they
are bound to respect.

THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
for 1880.

for 1880.
During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, q. the same
time, keep its readers folly posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when. such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. It
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues OF
the DAILY CHRONICLE. It will con-
tain a choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will Be carefully ex-
Guided. It will be the object of the
publishers to make it a welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
It's market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made az
nearly perfect and" reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm.
proved all the time. In this depart.
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two old
and we'll established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more thar
the subscription price charged.

- In conversation with Mr.. Gates
yesterday we learned some facts in
regard to the wooden bridges of the
C.. s. r. r. Mr.. Gates is of Knox
vile and is a very extensive bridge
builder. He built the county bridge
of Knox county, structure which
cest $145 900. He has the contract
for building all the wooden bridges
on this road, of which there will be
twelve between this point and New
River, KY. All will be built. of the
hardest Southern pine, and when
completed will be subject to the
strictest inspection. The frames are
being constructed near Childs s. Co.'s
planning mill, in this city, and are from
thence transported for erection. All
the lumber is received from Gadsden.
The cast iron is furnished by d. Giles
& Co, and is of very superior quality.
A large quantity will be used.
Mr. Gates is now engaged in raising
bridges at Soddy and Postum and in
about two weeks will be prepared to
raise two more. The entire numbe
will be completed by the middle of
October. s-
There are about twenty-five men
employed in framing and raising, and
several hundred thousand feet of lum-
Der will be used. Thus far no accident
has occurred. The largest wooden
bridge on the line is at Crooked Ford;
it will consist of three spans, each 116
feet In length. All the bridges will be
of different pattern, no two alike.
About two-thirds of the number will
be erected in Chattanooga

born, near II. o. Wilson's blacksmith
shop, began backing, and finally cap
sized the buggy in which he was
,hitched ina hole left In the street by
the Roane Iron Company In moving
the scales purchased by them. Mrs.
Mountcastle's mother was in the

alarmed considerably. 1t was a very
narrow escape.
i The incorporators of Magnolia
Cemetery held their first meeting,
after receiving their charter, last
Saturday, and organized by electing

Twelve acres of land have already
been purchased and paid for with
funds raisedsby the ladies of the town.
So the capital stock is now fixed at
$500, and shares at $500. The Secre-
tary and Treasurer was instructed to
open books and receive subscriptions.
The condemnation of Gov. Marks
and his cowardly legislature OF little
soulsseems to be on the increase. We
knowof no Democrat, even, that has
q soft word fer them. Many of our
citizens are anxious to make an issue
in the next Gubernatorial election be-
tween Honesty and Dishonesty. Let
| it be so-that would be one of the no.
blest fights Tennesseeans who long
honor and their State could be engaged
in. Let thieves, robbers and repudiators
go hand in hand to the - peniten-
tiary, where they belong. The spirit
that would lead Tennessee to repudiate
is the same that strips the henroost,
and yet the men who favorrepudiation
would send the chicken thief to

Case OF yellow Fever near MeMiIIan's

There Is no DOUBT ABOUT there being
a case of yellow fever at the home of
Mr.. Gid. Luttrell, just across the river
from and in sight Of McMillan's Sta
ton, in this county, about ten miles
from the city, in the person of Mr..
Fred Morti, Memphian. The facts
in the case are about this !: Mr.. Morti
Is live and enterprising retail grocery
merchant in Memphis, and has fam
lily consisting of wife and one child.
His wife is very low with consump-
ton, and, before the breaking out of
the fever, he sent them, together with
little sister of his wife's up to board
with Mr.. Luttrell during the summer.
He remained in Memphis at his BUSH
ness and would not have come yet, but
was summoned on account of the very
low and falling condition of his wife.
He left Memphis about the 1st inst.,
and went directly to Mr.. LuttrelPs,
and last Friday, after the expiration Of
the allotted time, he was taken sick.
OF course, it would naturally be in
ferred by every one that 1t was yellow
fever. DR.. r. Snead, of Strawberry
Plains, was summoned to wait on him.
Sunday DR.. A. B. Tadlock, President
Of the city Board of Health, was sent
for, and, after a consultation between
the two, it was pronounced gen.
uine case of yellow fever. When
DR.. Tadlock left Sunday evening
the patient was at a very low stage.
DIR. Snead continued to render medi-
Cal assistance, however, and at last re-
ports, yesterday evening. Mr.. Morti
was getting along very well, with
hopes Of recovery. ''-'
All the necessary precautionary
measures were taken about the prem
Uses. Mr.. Luttrell's and the sick mans
families remain at home and no one
goes near. Many wild rumors have
been circulated, but as general thing
it does not create much excitement in
the neighborhood. There need be
very little fears of any outbreak or
spread, for there is no one else about
who has been in Memphis since the
beginning of the fever. IS .aE
