| that of " The Constitution. This, adds the
| journal, is after the fashion OF pirates, who
hoist the flag of the nation they mean to
plumber. Under its former title, the paper
| has done all in its power to distract and di-
vide the Union, and under the latter, we
suppose, it will pervert and assail the Con-
stitution. rsaH ,-s.sa16J 8 sss ~s.sf

JOHN BELL RECEPTION IN TENNESSEE. At
the Opposition State Convention says the
| Nashville Banner, @there was loud and
| enthusiastic call upon him for speech. We
have never witnessed more exciting scene
as the cry of {" Bell Bell Bell" rang
/ through the Capitol Hall. He slowly adj
vanced to the speakers stand, and as the
| old patriots head emerged above the dense
crowd that filled the space around the ros-
trum, a long, loud and hearty cheer rang all
through and through the hall, waking the
remotest corner of the building. He stood
upon the rostrum amid waving hats and
handkerchief and never was speaker
greeted with a warmer reception. The
clapping of hands indicated the enthusiasm
of many, while shout after shout arose and
shook the solid arches of the Capitol.
In all the exciting scenes in Tennessee
politics, we know or nothing that can COM
pare with Mr.. Bells reception on Tuesday
night, except the reception OF Old Clay, in
1910, or the triumph. of Mr. Bell over Felix
Grundy. 2kf 200 q dd&ao'L.- .--t'-'ts.'f

the statististics of pauperism as prepared By
the Secretary of State, we are first arrested
| in our attention by the enormous amount OF
money iteosts to support the publiepoor in
this State. One million and half of dol
lars are annually raised by tax for this pur-
pose. OF this sum about 100000 are alb
sorbed by the salaries of superintendents
keepers, physicians, &c. Estimated value
of alms-houses, with 1905 acres of land at.
tached, $l,059, 339. Value of pauper labor
about 1000; average weekly cost of sup
port, 9O1 cents. IL is estimated that the
poor. house farms have been enhanced il
value nearly $4,000 since they were frs
purchased, mainly, We suppose, by the labo'
bestowed upon them by paupers. Less thai
$50, 900 is the saving Of expense in suppor
by their labors-hardly enough to pay tn
attending physicians. About 1000 insan
: paupers are included in the returns from tn
various alms-houses, 437 idiots, and 81
mutes. Nearly 5000 children find lthei
homes and education in these establish
ments The number of paupers, permanen
and temporary, is set down at 46S. 362.- Ii
the nativities of the paupers, the Unitet
States and Ireland are credited with abou
i an equal number-Io4,0 900 and $4,000
Germany, a9, 900; unknown, 10000 Thi
appalling amount Of pauperism is impute'
: to some thirty different causes. Iutemper
