We learn from the Chronicle that
the East Tennessee. Virginia and
Georgia railroad company have late
lv received a large amount of fine
machinery from Cincinnati manu-
featuring company and it is now
placed in the company's new car
works, near the depot. They have
just placed in position a very large
plauer. 1t dresses four sides at
once. of the largest timbers. They
have also a very fine piece OF ma
chinery for cutting lemons. Also
moulding machines for executing the
finest work on finishing passenger
coaches. We understand that the
company intend establishing first
class car works there, and will soon
be able to turn cut passengercoaches
complete. The workmen are now
engaged in filling a large order for
box cars for the Selma, Rome and
Dalton road.

the most drunkenness? Every

wrong, if the number of retail liquor

are two rumshops for every man,

1t was Mr.. Garfield who said from
his seat ia Congress:
''He who gets up the old sectional
issue will find himself without follow
ing"
1t was Mr.. Conkling, (repeatiug
the party Shibboleth.) who said in
his New York speech the other
night:
"The question presented by the cam
paign is purely sectional"
The ''following" is growing "smail
by degrees, and beautifully less"
Under all the circumstances of the
outlook, DO wonder the New York
Times is moved to say:
If we have occasion at all times to de-
plore that our public men are politicians
rather than statesmen, we have special
cause for regret on this account during
an active political canvass. Then more
than ever are they disposed to take a
narrow view of the perpetual contest
between parties; to appeal to Prejudices
and fears rather than to rational convic-
| tions; to excite the passions rather than
to persuade the intellect

WRIGHT AND WILSON.
Jackson WING and tribune.

4 uG CauN ass bCg"OOh y u -
Wright the Democratic nominee for
Governor and Mr.. Wilson, the bolt
er, is unusually animated and is at
tracing the attention, and arousing
the interest Of everybody. One of
the most important differences be
tween the State credit and no credit
men was as TO the method Of testing
the legality of disputed bonds. The
former insisting that it should be
settled by some competent legal tri-
bunal, and the bolter that the people
should act as judge and jury in de-
Gliding it, The State credit Demo.
Gratis proposed to have the legal
status Of the different bonds settled,
as a guide to settlement, but not TO
interfere with the sovereign right of
the State to deal with her debt after
all disputed questions as to it's val
idity were settled. eat Springfield
Judge Wright asked Wilson how he
stood on this proposition, and to
make it emphatic repeated it as fol
lows:
Judge Wright then said, "NO dodg-
ing the question on this. Col. Wilson,
ask you the clear cut question: VIII
you throw open the courts and let the
bendholders sue the State, and if they
shall determine that the railroad bonds
are valid obligations of the State, will
you agree that they shall be paid by the
Slater"
Mr.. Wilson, in answer to this direct
interrogatOry, said 81 am willing so
far as the State in her sovereign capaci-
ty can consent to allow the question of.
the legality of the bonds to be tested in
the courts, and whatever the result is, l
will agree to abide by it, and to pay
what the courts may decide she owes"
At ClarksviAe, Erin, aud at Paris.
the reports published show that Will
son denied making the admission.
At Dresden Judge Wright charged
this admission on him last Monday
and dared him to deny it. The re-
ports show be did not deny it there.
The presumption is that Judge
Wright mas in his pocket few hun
dred afffdavits from Springfield,
which Wilson does not wish to face.
We have seen Capt. John W. Nor
ton, the gallant artillerist of For
rests old command, and he with
Dumber Of equally reliable gentle
men who were present, assured US
that Wilson used the above language
at Springfield. His subsequent de-
malls show that he is not a man who
can be relied upon to stand up for
what he says before the people, and
could not safely be trusted in the
Gubernatorial chair. He further
stated as a reason for refusing to re-
fund the 100000 dog tax illegally
collected from the people after it
was declared unconstitutional, that
the State would have to refund the
$18O.O0O illegally collected from
Railroads uuder the same act.
Judge Wright produced the jour
nails of the Legislature and showed
that Wilson introduced a bill and
helped pass it to refund the $780,
900 to The Railroads, while he voted
to keep the 100000 illegally col
lected from The people.

Mr.. Wilson voted against return
ing the $4,000 dog tax to the poor
people from whom it had been taken
wrongfully, and then introduced q
bill himself to return $l80,O00 taken
uncOnsti!utionally from the railroads,
and TO pay them interest on all Of it
except the amount they owed as tax
es. Yet Wilson claims to he the
friend of the people against railroads.
Well may the people adopt the lang
uage of Mr.. Van Buren,, and eX-
claim: "Save us from our friend"
Wilsonl
But the crooked part is yet to
come, When Judge Wright charged
Mr. Wilson at Springfield with vot-I
ing against the return Of the dag tax
of $4,000, he excused himself by
saying that the reason why he did
not vote TO return it was. that it
would open the way to returning
$180,000 TO the railroads, which he
did not wish TO do, although it was
wrougfully taken from them just as
the dog tax was, both lnws having
been decided uncOnstitutional by the
Supreme Court. Rotten and corrupt
as this subterfuge is in point nf NOR.
altty, it turns out that Mr.. Wilsoa
did not desire to retain he $3.50, 1000
railroad tax, but that he himself, ac-
cording to the Journals Of the Leg
islature, introduced the bill to re-
turn the $180,OO0 to the railroads by
giving them credit for so much Of it
as would pay what they owed as tax
es and paying the balance back to
them in money with interest. If
Mr.. Wilson is a friend TO the people
why did he not allow them TO credit
on the tax books too, like he did the
railroads? But he voted to allow
neither credit, the money, nor inter
est, took a part himself as a useless
lawyers fee without submitting any
of the matter to the people.
For proof see Senate Journal of
1879, page 631, and House Journal
of 1877, pages 285, 317, 318, 1885,,
337, See Acts 1877, chapter 10,
page 80.
Don't talk about Wilson's duplici-
ty in the dog tax and railroad affair
as a campaign document, but see
whether he was for the railroads and
against the pooplei and whether he
stated the truth or not when he gave
his reasons for voting against the lat.
ter in his speech at Springfield; and
whether that statement appears to be
Intentional or not; and ifso, whether
it deceived the people or got.
These are facts one way or the
other, such as no candidate for Gov
ernor of Tennessee ever had charged
against him.
Newspapers and public speakers
may misstate things. but the Journ-
ais of the Senate and House do not.
Examine them and see what they say
of Mr., Wilson's voting, and how he
favors the people by submitting no.

If he were in decline.
saStill, as an independent and fair
newspaper, we must frankly admit
that in one respect the Republicans
have an advantage-if it is an ad-
vantage-over US. They have a
candidate for President on whom
any candidate for Vice-President,
coming into power, would be an i'm
provement.
We have not. So says the New
York Sun.
