To those who think Mr.. Randall an
advocate of high protective tariff, we
commend the following extracts from
the speeches he made in Louisville
The government should be admin
lstered economically, and there ought
not to be collected a dollar of revenue
from the people of the United States in
excess OF that which is necessary to
economically administer the govern
ment of this people. [Cheers.i
n
have never been able to find in
the Constitution of the United States
any warrant, and I have never made
any utterance, either in public or pri-
vate lie, at variance with what am
now going to say. / do not believe
there is in the Constitution of the
United States an authority To- levy inn
post duties for protectlon for protec-
tlon's sake. In other words, 7 can
find nothing which gives authority TO
the Congress of the United States to
raise taxes on impost duties for pro-
lection per So. I say also that would
so levy the duties ON imports into the
United States that the difference be-
tween foreign products and the Amer
lean article when the two are here in
competition, so that the difference in
the foreign rate of interest and that of
our own country, the difference in the
wages OF the mechanic and laborer
abroad and the laborer of the United
States shall be equal only to fill that
gap. Cheers. H.

PENSIONING CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.

A well known gentleman of this
city suggested to the editor of the
CHRONICLE recently that Tennessee
should pension her disabled Confeder-
ate soldiers. The thing should not be
attempted, he said, until some compu
tation had been made of the cost and
the States ability to undertake such
charity fully ascertained.
The last legislature passed an act
pensioning the blind soldiers who lost
their sight in the Confederate service
and, if the State can bear the expense,
it would be handsome thing to ex-
tend the bounty to those who were
otherwise rendered unfit for work
while fighting the battles OF the South.
Tennessee furnished large num-
Der OF soldiers to both armies during
the bloody and fratrscidal struggle
through which the country has passed.
Those who fought 30 nobly for the
preservation of the Union are under
the munihcent care of the Federal
government and it is we'll that they
should be. But those brave men who
bore arms on the loosing side and
manfully contended for the cause they
thought just, have no such patron, and
even the generous victors would not
complain if the State should grant q
small allowance to such of them as
were badly crippled and are now APP
preaching the decline of life.
We present the matter to the con-
sideration of the Solons now assem-
bled at Nashville and hope they will
give it due attsntion. We can assure
them that such Q pension would be
more worthiiy bestowed and better
thought of than that which, Vas con-
terred on Savage & Co. Their con-
stituents will, no doubt, be better
pleased to have them engage in work
of this nature. than in passing dema-
xogic measures that will damage the
material interests OF tAs state,

To the Chronicle:
Tramps are numerous and shrewd
now. One going north stopped at
Mrs. Marables few days ago, and
sent in well written note asking for
something to eat, pretending to be
deaf and dumb. Sympathy being
aroused dinner was given him and
a lunch fixed up to, take along.
The next day another called at the
door, saying there was nothing the
matter with him, he was only out
of money and hungry, and trying
to get 10 New Orleans that he was
not deaf and dumb as the other
pretended to be. He got his dinner
too. This is new dodge that will
soon get old.
Mr.. U. ID. TomllnsOn was badly
hurt by fall from the roof OF his
house two weeks ago. He was con-
fined to his bed several days, but as
new daughter-ten pounds-came
to his house Tuesday morning, he is
now out on crutches. Hs
DIR. L. E. Tomlinson of Missouri
is on visit to his father. DIR. X.
Wilson of Arkansas is also on q
visit to his old home, both are look

eight years ago, has returned and
says he never wants to leave Ten

Messrs. James and l.. G. Philpott
of Arkansas are visiting their sister,

The Christmas tree at Tarsus was

A shocking accident occurred in
this district on the 23rd inst. Mrs,

badly burned before she could be
caught that she died in a few hours.

THE CAUCUS.

Quite q number of Tennessee pa
pers of professed Democratic proclivi-
ties have been discussing the advise
bility OF party caucus in the present
Legislature, and are at variance in
their views on the subject
The CHRONICLE can see no reason
able objection to a caucus. Such a
thing may be necessary to a perfect
party organization and to facilitate the
passage of party measures. But the
caucus should be run strictly in the
interest of the party and not as ma
chine manipulated by cliques
and rings for the passage OF pet
schemes OF q non-partisan nature.
To come directly to the point, so
called Democratic caucus should not
be organized for the sole purpose of
forcing through the legislature rail-
road commission bill, or for prevent
ing the repeal Of the obnoxious and
unconstitutional law OF that kind
already in existance. A railroad Gem
mission ia in no sense party MEASURE
and has no proper place before a
party caucus. Every member should
be left free to vote in this regard as he
thinks will best serve the interest OF
his constituents.
II this question is brought before
the Democratic caucus it will be done
by the same clique and in the same
spirit that attempted TO make the sup
port of Savage 4 Co., a test Of Demo
cratic fealty in the last campaign.
Some OF the ever faithful who expect
to personally profit by narrowing the
numbers Of Democratic statesmen in
Tennessee. will seek to use this scheme
as kicking out" process. 1t is need
less to say that Tennessee Democracy
in in no shape to stand anything OF
this kind, but these Pharisaical dema-
Rogues are on the lookout for number
one, at heart they are wreckers, and
they don't care a punched nickle for
the tate OF the party which they pre-
tend to guard with such jealous care,
30 they succeed in shelving few OF
their political rivals.
We insist ON free discussion of the
commission question before the Legis-
lature, and free action in that regard
for every member. irrespective of his
party utilization. Democratic mem
beers who oppose the commission
scheme and those who recognize the
voice OF the people in demanding the
repeal of the present law, should not
suffer themselves to be dashed and
dragoOned into line. Those who
have the manliness to oppose the rule
OF the regulators and stand up for
their principles, will, no doubt, be
stigmatixed as Republicans in dis
guise, traitors and renegades by the
ring organs, but this abuse will count
for naught against them and we hope
there will be none 30 week-kneed rs to
fail in their duty through fear OF it,
There should be a caucus for all
legitimate psrty purposes Such
things exist in every legislative assem-
bly, where their are opposing political
organizations. But the railroad COM
mission question is a local outside is
sue and has no business before the
caucus OF either party. Let Demo
Gratis and Republicans vote in this par
ticular as they please.
This was our position when the
question was before the people and we
look at it in the same light as it comes
before the legislature.

HON. SAM'L j. RANDALL.

Hon. SAINT J. Randall's reception in
the South has been all that his most
enthusiastic followers could wish. In
Louisville he was cordially received
by the best men of the city and State,
and crowds fiocked to hear him speak.
Nashville gave him grand ovation;
the opera house could not hold all
who wished TO hear linn and hundreds
who could not get in turned regret
fully away.
This was all as it should be. IRE
spective of his tariff views, in which
he radically differs with some Demo
Gratis, Mr.. Randall is entitled TO the
thanks of his party for numerous and
valuable services done il, and the
South should always be grateful for
the helping hand he so generously and
ably extended in her behalf in the
hour OF her greatest need. AS an in
corruptible American statesman OF
the highest ability he commands the
respect OF all, and it is no way sur
prising that he is SO enthusiastically
received when he comes South.
But the real secret of Mr.. Randalls
being made the object of such marked
attention during his southern trip was
the TRADE of abuse which that prince
of blatherskites, Henry Watterson.
poured upon him. Watterson seem
ed to take the visit as an affront to
himself, and in addition to the severest
criticism of Randall's political views
he applied to the distinguished Penn
sylvanian insults of the grossest per-
sonal nature. The Southern people
were determined that such expires
sions should not be taken as refiec.
ton of public manners in this sec.
ton, and to maintain their reputation
for civility and hospitality, they made
the reception of Mr.. Randall more
open and demonstrative than it would
otherwise have been. The strong po
litical effect that Mr.. Randall's visit il
found to have, has been given it by
this attempt to bulldoze him out Of
coming and the people out OF hearing
him if he did come. In any event he
would have been cordially received al
the South, but the reception would
have been in a quiet and friendly way
