OUR ROAD LAW.

The road law passed by the legis~
lature is not perfect. The objection
we have heard urged against it is
that it is too cumbersome and com>
pick, This is probably true. But
we trust the people will give it fair
trial. Any kind of law is better
than the old one. In the main the
new law is doubtless a good one.
Let us go to work under it, and do
what we can to remove the standing
disgrace OF the land in the shape of
shockingly poor roads. If the law is
not Just what is required, it may be
amended and perfected by the next
legislature. There are croakers and
grumblers in every community who
will complain at any road law that
may be passed. They will try to
raise a clamor against the law and
prevent its vigorous enforcement.
But we trust there are enough live,
progressive men in each community
to overcome the influence of the
croakers and give us better roads.
While the law passed is, as we said,
not perfect perhaps, we rejoice that
the legislature passed it, and we hope
to see in enforced.

What Our NeighbOrs Say OF Us.
Greeneville New Era.

The Knoxville CHRoS1cLE of the
18th comes out in a new dress, no
change in the fashion or style how
ever, but the same old substantial
Republican. This is an evidence of
prosperity, in our best daily paper of
East Tennessee, we are glad to see.
MaryviIe Democrat
We are pleased to note the im~
proved condition of the Knoxville
CHRONICLE. The reading matter ap,
pears IN new and handsome type.
More space is also given to local
affairs, being written and arranged
in pleasing and comprehensive
style, which makes the paper more
interesting and valuable to it's homo
readers.
Knoxville Index.
The daily CHRONICLE came out last
Wednesday in new dress, and much
improved in appearance. The CHRoN
IcLE is an old and well established
newspaper, is ably conducted, and is
generally acknowledged to be the
leading Republican paper of the
South. It is far above the average
political newspaper in tone, and
though we occasionally see some-
thing in it's columns which we can
not quite approve, it's voice is nearly
always on the right side of all the
great questions of the day. May it
live long and prosper.
Morristown Times.
The Knoxville CHRONICLE dons q
new dress this week, and promises
IN the future new life, energy and
its usual pluck and proverbial fair
ness IN dealing with matters of pub
lie concern.
In the matter of perfect fairness,
reliability and answering fidelity to
principle, the CHRONICLE has ever
maintained a high reputation. It has
made fight for the cause of Repub>
licanism ever since its foundation, we
believe in 1870, that entities it to the
respect and admiration of every true
man in the country.
By it's ever bold and outspoken
expositions of the rottennes and
little meanness Of Democracy, it has
done more to maintain and strength>
en- the cause of Republicanism in
tennessee and the entire South than
any daily paper published south of
the Ohio River.
BY its bold, manly and yet fair
and fearless dealings with public
questions, 1t has won the respect of
all good men, not only in the Repub-
lican party, but a large per cent. of
the opposite faith.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of
the Memphis Ledger, under the sig-
nature "True Democrat" is dissatis~
fed with both political parties, and
wants to organize a new one. Speak
ing of Mahone's attitude in Virginia,
he says:
Beck, Governor Kemper and others
have declared it necessary to keep up
thesdisgraceful squabble in the Senate
by the privileged motions to adjourn
and to go into executive session
and thus hold the Senate Offices till
December to prevent Malone car
ryng Virginia again in the fall, and
this time getting thereby the govern
or, Legislature and supreme court.
The sooner a party whose
continued existence depends upon
Senate patronage is overs
thrown the better for Virginia
and true Democracy. What pitia-
bic confession for men and Senators
to make, and what contemptibly
low opinion Of Virginians and their
own organization it evidences! But
nothing will save that "Funder
party in Virginia. It is doomed
and foreordained to certain destruc~
ton, as the event will surely prove.
If all the greenback, gold standard,
bimetaic standard, hard money,
soft money, protective tariff, revenue,
subsidy and anti>subsidy Democrats,
and all the other sorts among
the 81 so-called Democratic SEN
ators, go down to Virginia
to canvass for the "brok,
ers' bill party" they cannot save it.
The more Ben Hills, Hamptons and
Becks that go down to canvass, the
larger will be the majority and .the
more decisive the victory of the Re
adjusters. Malone stands for the
sovereignty of his State, it's honor,
its right to control and dispose of it's
revenues, and for the welfare and in
terest Of it's people; and they will
again sustain him. The organiza-
ton in Virginia calling itself the
party deserves to die for
its repeated betrayals of the people
there, as like organization in Ten
nessee deserves to die FORTS violated
pledges to the people here.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY.

Inc hepuOllcan party, like all
other parties, is divided more OF
less into factions. These divisions
are not upon questions of principle,
but generally partake of a personal
nature. They grow out of rivalry
for leadership. They are natural,
and when such rivalry is kept within
reasonable bounds, not Objectionable.
But party is the representative of
fixed, interchangeable principle. It is
the representative of policy-it is
the expression of theory and a
force that operates to put such a
theory into practice, We need not
tell here what the leading ideas of
the Republican party are. They are
we'll understood. Generally, they
mean equal and exact justice to all
men without regard to race or sta
ton in life. Financially, they mean
the strict maintenance of the public
faith. The great principles of the
party have been Endorsed by the
American people time and again for
these many years. When our polit~
cal leaders have adhered closely and
boldly to these principles, the party
has been invariably trusted. Any
departure from the well~known fun
damental tenets of the party, howev~
er slight, has met with temporary
defeat.
Hence, the party is greater than
any one man or any particular fac,
ton. The man who makes up his
mind that he is q necessity, that
without his aid and influence the
party cannot succeed, makes a great
mistake. He may make arbitrary
demands and foment strife and dis,
cord for time, but when his own
will becomes more important in his
estimation than Republican princi-
pies, and this becomes the main
spring by which his actions are
controlled, he will be found out and
become the sufferer.
In the dispensation of public
patronage throughout the country,
President Garfield has very properly
recognized factions where they exist.
In doing so he has given offtnse to
some. But no one will claim that he
should array himself against any
leader of intelligence and character
and IN favor of another. He pro
poses to treat ali Republicans fairly
and alike. 1t is not his purpose to
become the instrument in the hands
of one man or one faction to break
down another, unless there is good
reason for it. He is a Republican
because he believes the principles
and policy of that party are right.
He believes that the govern
ment should be administered &C
cording to these principles and
this policy. Believing this, as he
does, as patriot he will thy to
strengthen the Republican party.
He will do this by wise and legiti-
mate means. That he may make
mistakes none will deny, but that he
will engage in the petty wrangles
between men and factions in his own
party, taking sides with one and
against another, no one believes.
He is animated by higher and better
motives, and we think it bad policy
for any good Republican to quarrel
with him, because in the exercise of
his official functions he appoints
some other Republican to official po-
sition. We do not believe any
thoughtful Republican will do it.
