THE Avalanche, in last desperate
effort to get out of the ugly position il
took in defense of Senator jackson,
which ignored past service to the State
and public spirit as proper tests Of
weight and influence with the people,
illustrates by Charley Foster, of Ohio.
1t is true that this test was applied to
Foster in his campaign with Gen.
eral Ewing. No one was found in
Ohio silly enough to deny the legiti
macy oe.the test, and there is no doubt
that Foster lost votes by reason
of the applicationof of this test.
The exigencies Of the Republi
can party, lis drill with sectional and
war issues, exciting prejudice and
passion, added to the money Of
Foster and the Federal corruption
fund, enabled the Republican man.
agement to hold the party we'll in
hand. Cariolanus was refused off &c
in Rome, Notwithstanding his great
services to the State, and certain
obscure and worthless rivals promoted
over him. But we have never heard
any one say that the people of Rome
did themselves any credit by this act
or their city any good by thus disre-
garding what was due to distinguished
public servic. If the position of the
Avalanche be correct, then it is idle
for man to strive for superiority. No
incentive to patriotic exertion that
appeals to personal distinction re.
mains. We know of nothing more
damaging in republic than a failure
to distinguish between men in the
matter Of public service.

GENERAL w. B. Bate opened the
gubernatorial canvass at Knoxville
last Saturday. He had grand re-
ception, and spoke for nearly three
hours to crowd of several thousand
persons. He made a splendid in
preston, and if there were any Fussell
men in the crowd they kept it to
themselves. A gentleman just from
East Tennessee, who has travelled over
several counties on business, and met
intelligent citizens from almost every
county, gives it as the general opinion
that Russell will not poll more than
800 votes east OF Chattanooga. The
Boilers find no comfort up there,
except from Republicans.

THE Avalanche, in its Sundays
issue, claims to have spiked the war
guns Of the Confederates early in the
action. Ifthe "Old Man" has accom-
plished this he has done more since
than he attempted during the war; but
many will doubt the confidence of this
boast, when the same issue is filled with
editorials on the Confederates and the
war record If the guns have long
since been spiked why continue the
spikiug business. Any soldier will
tell-him that a gun when we'll spiked
does not need further spiking. We
are afraid the "0ld Man" was in rather
an ecstacy Of his usual boastful humor,
very BObadil vein, when he penned
that paragraph. Blessed is he that
blows his own horn, for verify it shall
be well blown.

ard of Bradford, Barnard of Winhall, Per-

In the forenoon, Mr.. Ii. w. Dwight of Pitts
field, Massachusetts, division superintendent
of the United States and Canada express
company, addressed the committee. He
said ti.at his company was not corporation,
but partnership, and should be taxed
only on the property which 1t had in the
State taxes should not be levied upon its re-
ceipts, anymore than upon the receipts of
any other firm, The company had resisted
the paying of taxes upon lis receipts in New
Hampshire and the Supreme Court had sus-
tanned its view, aud said that the law was
unconstitutional.
Col. Levi X. Fuller, OF the firm OF Estey
Il Co., claimed that corporations did not pay
their fair share of the taxes and that express
companies, in particular, by assuming that
they were private corporations, escaped pay
ing what they ought into the State treasury.
For all practical purposes they were corpora
tions and should be treated as such.
