There are those who occasionally whisper

an Office under the Government. We do
hold an office in the Treasury Department,

for it. 1t does not pay the board 90 our

that we can serve some tue Union men
who hold Offices uld";t us. and others who
wish to engage in trade; and but for the
addltlona. fact that we can Scrre some East
Tennessee rebels as they deserve TO he
served, we would long since have resigned
our position. But to those who 50 kindly
