The MacKnight failure Is still the
chief topic of discussion, and 1t Is whis-
pered that Major Hancock or his rep
resentatives here will throw consider
able light on the financial affairs of
Mr.. MacKnight before Tuesday. The
sheriff ordered j. >. Macknight to open
the safe a. the store. which the latter
refused to do and the sheriff received le-
gal advice on the matter. which result
ed in his securing an order from Judge
Woodward to force open the safe. The
sheriff will employ Earnest Roth to
open il and 1t will probably be done to-
day.

THAT DEFICIT.

1t is a disgrace to the State of
Tennessee to have so manifest
the continual quarrel between
Comptroller Harris and Gov.
Turney. The reason of the row
is this, Mr.. Harris has contino
ually insisted that there would
be great plenty of money in
the Treasury by next January to
meet all expenses. Gov. Turnr
ey denied this and to add en-
phaeis to his denial called a spec
lal meeting Of the Legislature TO
anticipate any deficit by raising
extra funds, in spite OF the eners
getlc protests of Mr. Harris, VINO
claimed that all this fuss was a
bout u goose that had never
been stolen. Now, Cow Turney
with his extra SESSION combined,
is still in the throes Of anguish
about that ditfi3it and Comtroll-
re Harris is equally disturbed the
other wry.
II the two gentlemen want to
call each other liar, why don't
they do it openly? Continual
recrimination leads the public to
expect something more elaborate
tuan mere words. Are they
posing as masters Of the pugils-
TIC art, or are they merely com
mon citizens appointed by the
people to perform certain duties
Tor them. At any rate it seems
to be Il second ediuOn--in words
of the famous Kilkenny cat
pow WOW, when they fought and
fought until there were none left.
In this case there were no words
lefr.
We are sorry for a State that
has such curious executive offs
GERS that they cannot add correct
~ enough to suit one another.
We are sorry that they have not
more dignity and reverence for
their high position than to take
it out In perpetual antagonism.
Time will prove who is right and
uulil then we shall be obliged
to listen to charges and counter
charges until the brain reels. 1t
Is a spectacle of two dignitied
personagos upon a pedestal Of
fame, busily engaged in contraN
dieting the other aud taking par
ticulaF care that the denial OF the
one be no; heard by the other.

NOT TILE RIGHT KIND OF
TALK.

AIN
The New England cotton-mill la
Dor agitator, Howard. who is now
South, says:
The wages paid Southern OPP
peratives are far below those for
which the organized labor Of the
East will work. We hope to
try to wake the people up along
these lines and to arouse their
minds to the necessity for organ
ization.
Yes, Mr.. Howard, the Southern la
borer may receive smaller wages,
measured in dollars and cents, hut
nature made this possible to be true
and yet for the southern laborer to
be better off than his New England
competitor. Nature gave the South.
ern laborer the benefit of a milder
climate, OF lower of living and
of other advantages no other section
enjoys. You, Mr.. Howard, by max
ing discomfort where there is now
piece and happiness, hope to give
some grounds for continued claim
upon the support Of the New Eng
land mill operatives. You are likely
to prove great curse to the white
cotton-mill operatives of the South.
If they shouIl be foolish enough to
be misIed by you they would only in
vlte the employment of colored mill
help to take their places. -Manufact-
urer's Record.
We object to this as being too
ridiculous. MIR. Edmond's party
no doubt would, if they could
tax the people tor the blessings OF
good climate. As to the living
expenses being less than in the
North is question. 1t is true
that hog and corn meal is cheaper
but what else. Our experience
after five years residence here in
Tennessee is just this, ordinary
articles Of household cOusump-
ton can be purchased as cheap in
Boston as here. The climate Oe
ing somewhat milder, less fuel
and heavy clothing is required,
and in favored localities We have
better water than the people III
the North, but that like the
warm sun aud balmy air is not
owned by anyone yet, and there
fore no one should be forced to
work for less than living wages
on that account. Would Mr..
Edmond's or any OF the privilege
ed classes he writes for, like To
come here and work for 40 TO so
cents day? A man cannot live
on pure air or water. Neither
can his wife and children.
A short time since we received
a pamphlet euIogistlc Of the
Manufacturers Record and It's
editor, showing how he had ris
Ell from very poor estate to the
present euviable Lositlon he holds
