WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Under the provisions Of the Federal Constitu
ton, Congress has adopted standard of WEIGHTS
and Measures, and, by resolution in 1886 de-
posted with the several States set of those
weights and measures. A portion of this set has
Oeen sent to the State of Tennessee, and is now
IN the Secretarys office; the remainder can prob
ably be had upon application. But this provision
10 estaDIsh uniform system of weights and
measures, is wholly insufficient under the existing
laws on that subject. Indeed, no law has bee3
passed, since this standard was adopted. or since
the distribution of the weights and measures
among the States, and, Of course there is'notbino
III our State law requiring our standard keepers
10 eonform to this general standard. Il seems IN
Inc that a law ought to be passed, requiring the
standard keeper for each county, to have his
Weights and measures compared with. and tested
Dy' the standard furnished by Congress. And that
there should be some responsible functionarv
known to the law, whose duty it sbouIJ he 70 ,nte
OF this comparison and test, and when
larry ana accurately made, to seal and mark the
weight and measure SO tried, with some oficiaIand
authoritative brand or stamp-wiihout some pro-
VISION oil this kind, the provisions of the ACT of
congress are nugatory, and no authoritative as
surance Is grven that there will be any uniformtv

The Bank OF Tennessee IS represented in o report

| and prosperous condition. While the Bank is I'M
! dergoing an investigation by a committee appoint
ed by the Legislature for that purpose will refrain
from expressing any opinion in regard to its pres
ent condition, or making any definite recommen-
dation as TO what course the General Assembly
ought to take in reference to its future manage
ment, more than, however, barely to suggest that
the present would be very suspicious time to put
the principal and all the branch banks into gradual
liquidation; giving ample and reasonable time to all
persons who are indebted to the institution to make
arrangements for paying the amount they owe
The process OF winding it up at the present time
can be made so gradual and easy as not TO embar-
rass the indebted portion Of the community in the
smallest degree

der a law passed by the last General Assembly, and
Others no doubt, will soon commence; which will
more than supply the vacuum created by the with

the banking facilities needed by the whole business
portion oftbe country. As the capital of the Bank
is withdrawn, it can be proftably invested in the
bonds OF the State, bearing an interest of six per
cent. per annum, which will be the safest and most |
judicious investment that can be made with the |

If the State can, in any responsible time dispose
Of the stock owned in the Union and Planters
