A DETESTABLE CLASS.

AS we have said frequently
through these columns, and as we
verify believe, the masses Of the
people in Tennessee-nine out Of
every ten of the well>to>do, indus
trious, good citizens-men who pay
taxes, produce what wealth we have,
and are the real bone and sinew of
the land, welcome Northern men to
the South, and are disposed to treat
them just as they do their own
neighbors. They will do all that is
reasonable, or that can be expected,
to make their new homes pleasant
and agreeable.
But candor compels us to say
that there are idle, worths
less men in nearly every community,
who are too lazy and too mean to
get along well themselves, and who
are jealous of every one who is in
dustrious, frugal and Independent.
Worse than failures themselves,
they throw every obstacle in the
way of others that they possibly
can. And we need not 60 to the
swamps of Mississippi and Louis
lana, or to the rice fields Of South
Carolina, to find them. We have
them in Tennessee, in East Tennes-
see-aye, we have such men right
here in Knoxville. And they are
not confined to the ignorant or Tilt,
crate. They may be found even in
the ranks Of the learned professions.
If lawyers, they are without clients,
not, perhaps, because Of their want

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1880.
The action of the Pennsylvania
managers of the Republican party in
calling tho convention to send dele
gates to Chicago on the 4th proximo
has been heavy blow to the third
term. AS long as the third term was
prospective, the Grant boom went
along merrlly enough, but as soon as
the question was presented SO directly
to the people, they began to reflect, and
for the past month the boom has
greatly diminished. Unfortunately
for Secretary Sherman, there are many
politicians in the Key Stone State who
believe that the object of calling the
convention of that State at 30 early a
day was with view to impeding the
progress of the Grant boom. thus add
ing strength to the candidacy OF Sher-
man, and 90 believing they have
started Blaine boom, which bids fair
to sweep The State.
I am still of the opinion that the
strongest man the Republicans can
nominate is John Sherman. He Is an
honest, able, fearless man, who will
see that the majesty of the law is vim.
dictated IN all sections. He has served
his country efficiently, and there Is no
one who possesses the temerity to deny
that his management of the financial
affairs of the country has been emil
nently successful. Above all, his
record is good. No charge # cor>
ruptlon can ever be brought against
him, and II he becomes the
nominee of our party, he will not be

Dan. Voorhees, aud his Exodus Com
mittee are creating much merriment
here. Of course, you never obtain
many OF the particulars OF that Com.
mittee through the Associated Press
Agency. Even Democrats are becom-

Vance Is member, and, the other
day, when Mr.. Mendenhall, Of IndI-
ana, was undergoing an examination by

characteristics, told several little jokes
at Voorhees, expense, which created
much laughter. Every witness thus
far examined has sustained the wis
dom and utility of the poor negroes in
getting away from North Carolina,
with the single exception OF the
coloTed Congressional contestant,
O'Hara, who thought he would occu.

that he might make few Democratic

LAWYERS FEES.
What Some Gssrgsans Have MADE.
.... IN. Y. Times

~. 4iWoo.
Nest persons not members of the
guild think that lawyers Of reputation
and large practice make far more
money than men of any other profess
sion or trade, and out of all ratio to
their ability or labor. Their fees are
SO prodigious, often, as to have no sort
OF relation TO the intellect employe ed
or the exertion expanded. A journal-
ist in Atlanta has been investigating
this subject, and having found out
many OF the fees paid to attorneys in
Georgia, has given them to the public.
Chisholm, OF Savannah, received
recently, as counsel In the At
lsntic and Gulf Railway case, $780,.
600. Benjamin H. Hill has turned
his calling to greater profit than any
lawyer In the State. In the Metcalf
suit, which had much local repute, he
charged the moderate amount OF $l40,-
900, but contented himself with $3.50, 600
Cash. During the civil war, i'll 1862,
he was paid, for conducting q suit In
ate scrip, which, though absolutely
worthless, had then considerable
power OF purchase In the South. His
fees have frequently been $40, 900,
SIS 900 aud $50 900, aud he would now
be very rich had he not lost heavily
by cotton>planting. Judge Loehrane
had nothing at the close of the war,
and Is now believed to own a large
fortune, gained wholly by his practice.
His share in the Brunswick and AL.
bany Railway litigation was $53, 600.
AT the close OF the rebellion he was ia
Washington, on his way hither, when
the amnesty proclamation was issued,
rendering 1t necessary for all men
woth more than $50 900 to make q
special application, the exact form OF
which he learned from Attorney-Gen.
eral Speed. He then hurried back to
Macon, where he opened an Office for
the pardon business, usually charging
$500 for each case. He procured some
pardOns, however, gratis, and others
at reduced rates. After while he
went TO Washington, and In a week
or ten days returned to Georgia with
1853 amnesty papers, for which he col
lected $38, 500. The Judge has salary
of $4,000 as attorney for the Pullman
Car Company, and takes, besides,
special cases. which materially swell
his income. While large proportion
Of ordinary lawyers earnings are mod

are apt to demand exorbitant fees
Some Of them seem to be wholesale
robbers, under protection of the
courts,

of ability, but because of dissipa-
ton, worthlessness and general un>
trustworthiness. They have by one
act or another, running through a
long course of years, forfeited
all claims to the confidence
or respect of we'll meaning people.
They are mendicants in society and
owe for the clothes they wear, the
food they eat, the cigars they smoke
and the whisky they drink.
Living a life of unbroken idleness,
when sober enough to think, they
have nothing else to do but to plot
mischief. They hate Northern
men, just as they hate any man
who earns his living by industry
and who has independence enough
to speak the truth boldly and little
enough of hypocricy, not to show
that he regards them with utter
contempt. They warm up their
venom with mean whisky, paid for,
if at all, with other mems money,
and drag their shiny lengths across
the pathway of every man who
Sights them. They are meddle-
some, busy bodies, and having none
of their own, they attend to other
peoples business.
Such men are a curse to any
community. Some of them are
cunning, sly, insinuating, and are
frequently able to carry out their
infamous schemes under the plausi,
BILE guise of truth and righteousness.
For this reason, they are to be re-
garded with more apprehension than
open, candid villains. They do
their dirty work in the dark, or
locked up in their closets. They
accomplish their ends by indirect
means, often leaving honest men in
temporary doubt as to whether their
villainy is good or evil. Some of
them handle their cards so deity
as to deceive the very elect, and
they enlist good men in aid of their
schemes.
1t is through the acts of such
rascals that the Southern people are
misunderstood, and We may truths
fully say, are sometimes
made instrumental in the
grossest acts of unjustifable
discrimination. 1t is a happy
radiance for any community to get
free from such characters. They
are devils in human shape, and have
a happy faculty for destroying, but
neither talent nor disposition for
building up and developing. They
SOW discord and strife, but hate
peace and harmony. Their lives
are oversha allowed by disappointed
and their little souls are
thoroughly permeated with hate SO
as to leave no room for anything
good. Like the crawling serpent,
their true nature can not be seen
