CHARGES AGAINST GOVERNOR COR
NELL AND HIS DEFENSE.

The following is summary of the
charges recently made against Gov
ernor Cornell, about which a good
deal has been said in the State OF
New York, and which has attracted
the attention of the whole country:
The charge against Governor Cor9

emanates from Jay Gould and was
given publicity to III definite form on

view" with Gould had by Herald
reporter. Gould said then that he
had an unsettled account with the
Governor in connection with the lat
ter's pool in American District Teleo
graph stock. A "blind pool, he ex-
planned, sis a combination OF parties
taking certain intel ests in a transace
ton and leaving the purchases and
sales in connection with the transact
ton entirely to the party who gets
the pool up, and in whom they all
repose confidence" 1t was during
the stock excitement, some time be-
fore the death of President Garfield,
that the Governor-then holding his
present ofice-is said to have gone
to Gould and asked him to take an
interest in the blind pool. Gould
SAYS he at first declined, but the
Governor was very urgent, saying
he could not make the venture sue.

Boss HoUk is still cracking his
whip. A. R. Trotter, Esq, one OF
our oldest and best citizens, good
Republican and a Christian gentle~
man, was postmaster at Beaver
Ridge, in this county. But he failed
to wear The Houk collar without ask
ing questions, and he has been re-
moved, we learn. There is no ques-
ton of his honesty or integrity, nc
question of his Republicanism, but
he cannot consistently, with his
sense of right or his self-respect, de-
fend Houks exploits in the calaboose
and in his committee room, or his
general record of debauchery-
therefore he must go.

Hawkins and Messrs. Russell and

ICLE- They opened their canvass at
Bristol yesterday and will be at
Jonesboro to day. Thy will be in
Knoxville next Tuesday. Let the
people turn out and hear what these
gentlemen have to say. Especially
let the Republicans turn out and
hear their standard bearer, Governor
Hawkins. General Bate, the Reads

Governor, will speak in Knoxville
next Saturday, and will doubtless
have large audience, The people
will want to hear all these candidates,

was, of course, desirable to end this
state of things. Gould and his
friends have taken control of the
company-the Western Union. with
which our company had been, and
then was connected. Of course they
could put their foot on our necks.
Negotiations were had view to
consolidate the smaller companies,
and to that end combination was
proposed for the purchase of the
stock for the companies. These
gentlemen who had come into the
control of the Western Union Conn
pany were asked to interest them,
selves. They subscribed for several
thousand shares, but the subscrip-
ton was never completed, owing to
the failure of negotiations looking to
consolidation. Not a dollar OF
money was paid nor share of stock
purchased, as Mr. Gould well knows.
And this is all there is of the blind
pool, of which the Gould papers
endeavor to make so much.
Il must say l fail to see any tur-
pitude OF improperly in any of these
transactions. [ endeavored to pro-
tect the company of which [ was
director, and in which [ and my fam
lily were large owners. 1t seemed to
me | had right to do so. Nor can
any one truthfully say [ ever advised
him to buy American District or any
other stock when [ was myself
selling.
II have been entirely frank with
you, because the Times has mans
tested disposition to be fair with
me, and [ wish it and its readers to
know there is no stain on my pere
sonal character likely to make them
ashamed of their advocacy. I have
not the slightest hope that anything
can stop the Gould organs in their
endeavors to cover with calumny my
personal and official character.
In view of Houk's declarations in
regard to the administration of
President Garfield, it was entirely
proper that his friends should hold
a convention and fail to pass resolu-
tions commendatory of Garfield.
They not only failed to do so in their
convention held in the opera-house
on the oath, but so far as we have
noticed, failed also in every county
convention held in the district. The
passage of such resolution would
have been a slap in their leader S
face. Carrying out his policy they
ought to have passed resolutions
declaring that "the death of Gar
field VS. the best thing
| tina could possibly have hap
pened for the Republican party
Bat "a majority of his followers
Notwithstanding they support him
do not agree with him on this point
He has tried to deny that he joined
i'll the war against Garfield, but the
failure of his convention to pass
resolutions endorsing the late Presi
den, is pretty conclusive on that
point.

Bill Arp's Philosophy.

1t don't pay to get mad about any
thing, much less about politics. Get
ting mad cheats a man out of his time.
He can lose u day or two days or even
a week, thinking about it and fretting
over it, and that interferes with his bus
mess and deranges his digestion, and
makes his family unhappy. He had
better 60 dead for while and come to
life again. Getting mad is the poorest
way to get even with an enemy l ever
tried. 1t don't pay worth a cent and
always makes man lose his own self
respect. Now q man may get mad with
himself for being a fool and it will do
him no harm. In fact. it may do good,
for it's sign of repentance. knew a
young man to 60 to church fair and
the girls honey-fugled six dollars out of
him and he went home and undressed
and tied one arm to the bed-post and

say: "You go to another church fair!
You let them girls fool you out of your
money again! You pay ten cents for ev-

Two Rolls of Rank Bills

The story is told of Hartford gen.
tleman who lost one hundred dollars in
bills, and, remembering that he had had
the money last at butchers, went
there to learn that just after he had left
man came to the shop to make some
purchases. He felt in his pocket Us if
he had lost something. Then looking
down he saw a roll of bills on the floor,
picked it up and counted it. There was
Just one hundred dollars, and from it he
paid for what he had bought. A week
later the second person returned the
one hundred dollars to the first, with
the following strange explanations: On
the day referred to he had been out to
Windsor to collect some money, and i'm
his haste to return to Hartford thrust it,
one hundred dollars in bills, as he sup
posed, into his vest pocket. When he
he naturallyfelt for his money, and,
missing it, looked around for it and saw
the roll on the floor, which he supposed
was his own. He had used it during
the week, and only on that day had he
put on his working coat. While at work
lie wanted match, and in feeling
through the pockets of his coat, to his
establishment he found the one hundred
dollars he had put there instead of into
his vest pocket. As soon as possible he
went to the market to see if any one
had lost that sum of money, and this
led to general settling all round. He
did not know at the time that he had
been suspected of the theft, and did not
imagine that he was in danger of arrest.

An unwrittan Law.

It is an unwritten law, well under
stood in journalism, that no editor is
under the slightest obligations TO give a
reason for his acceptance or non-aecept-
ance of u manuscript. He is not called
upon to write private critigue on the
article to the author of it. His accept
ance or rejection is IN absolute and I'M
questionable fact. Among amateur
writers this does not seem to be under
stood. All sub-editors and reporters
understand that it is an unjustitiable I'M
pertinence TO ask the managing editor
his reason for publishing or not pub
fishing any matter submitted to his
judgment. Outside writers and aspir-
ing amateurs rarely seem to compre-
bend this truth, and their irans%ressions
are largely from ignorance rather than
inattenlion. The nature of editorial
work requires absolute power OF deci-
sion in order to preserve the unlties OF
the journal the editor condncts.-Er-

leaves of the pulseless elm, and kissed
the song-birds lost in happy dreams.
