NOTHING GAINED BY HALT.
ING.

When man makes up his mind
to commit an act of rascality, he
gains nothing by doing it in half
hearted sort Of way. He only shows
that he has a lingering trace Of
conscience left, but which remains
powerless for good, covered over as
it is by an unsurmountable accumu-
lation of knavishness. The mean
ness of his nature predominates
and everybody knows that he is
miscreant Of the deepest dye. When
the members of the house committee
on privileges and elections made up
their minds to steal the seat to
which the people of Minnesota
elected Mr.. Washburn, by over three
thousand majority, they went about
as far in the direction of total de-
pravity as it is possible for men to
go, and when they voted
that Donnelly was not entitled to
the seat, they gained no credit
whatever for honesty. They went
only half way in the contamination
Of their villainous act, but their dis
position is just as manifest as if they
had voted to seat Donnelly.
And now they are being made to
feel this. The Washington Post, a
democratic organ, Of the most un4
scrupulous character, attacks Con-
gresham Springer, chairman of
the committee, and charges that he
was governed by corrupt motives
when, after voting to unseat Wash
burn, he voted against seating Don.
nelly. The Post charges that his
change of heart was brought about
by an anonymous note, in which
he is promised that if he
would do what he could
to prevent the unseating of

The Washington county republi>
cans, in their meeting held last
Monday, resolved that they will
support no candidate for governor
who is not opposed to repudiation
in any form. In this they express
the sentiments of forty-nine out Of
every fifty republicans in this part
of the state. Out of nearly or
quite four thousand republicans in
Knox county, We do not know of
single, repudiationist. 1t is so
in other counties. Whenever
the republicans do select their
candidate, whether at the May
convention, or at later date, lie
must be man whose record is clear
on this point. He must be man
who is and has been on the right
side, and whose character for integ-
rity is such that there is no proba>
bility of his finching or Sinking re>
sponsibility. Republicans are terri
bly, in earnest in this matter, and
they must have a leader who is
thoroughly in sympathy with their
views and purposes. Washington
county has made good beginning,
and their views are the views Of
East Tennessee republicans gen.
orally. oC -a3.

THERE were two hangings at
Louisville, last Friday, as stated in
our dispatches, Saturday morning,
and to the credit of Kentucky, they
were not public. This is an ad-
vanced step in the line of civiliza.
ton, which we trust will be emu
lated in Tennessee. Nothing can
be more humiliating to an enlight-
ened people, than the spectacles
which have been presented at public
executions at various places in Ten
nessee, Knoxville among them.
This morbid relish for the horrible
ought not to be encouraged, and We
trust the legislature, at its next ses-
sion, will pass Law against public
executions. We believe the good of
society demands it. Such things
are demoralizing, and are productive
OF no good whatever. And if there
were no other reason for preventing
such things than to keep people
from exhibiting their barbarous in
stincts, that is sufficient. If there
is such an element Of barbarism in
society as one has right to judge
by the exhibitions at public execu-
tons, our self.respect ought to fur
nish a reason for their suppression.

THE question of harmony in the
democratic ranks in New York 10
the one above others which disturbs
the bosoms Of the faithful now.
They do not trouble themselves as
to whether the next candidate for
the presidency shall be a hard
money man or greenbacker, a
tariff man or free, trader, but the
question is, "can he carry New
York Z" In the mean time, John
Kelley and his little band of Tams
many braves hold the fort. As
much as Samuel ]. Tilden may af-
feet to dispise this Insignificant fac
ton of a great party, they hold the
key to the situation, aud, if
he reaches the position he so
ardently Graves, it will be, "with
your permission" Mr.. Kelly. But
Kelly is imperturbable, We may
say stubborn. He makes loud pro-
LESSONS Of a desire for democratic
harmony, but says it can only come
by throwing Samuel Jonah Tilden
overheard. He is the source Of all
trouble according to Kelly, and as
long as he remains on board the
democratic ship the storm will rage.
And his frmness is shaking the
whole party. Scores of newspa>
pers that supported Tilden four
years ago, join with Tammany in
demanding that he shall be cast
overheard. Tilden and his friends
may clench their fists, grind their
teeth together and swear, but John
Kelly remains immovable.
