! il shows that one ton of the coal is equal to
about I or cords of wood. The cost
| Of repairs is lighter with wood than with
| coal burners, as the latter costs on an aver
age about two cents per mile more for re-
pairs than the former. Owing to this fact,
more work can be done with a given num-
Der of wood burners than with an equal
number of coal burners, as the coal burn
ers would have to be in the shop more than
the wood burners, in consequence of their
requiring mere repairing. About seven
coal burning engines would be required to
do the same work six wood burners would
do, circumstances being the same, and the
engines being of the same class.
In addition to the foregoing the cost Of
keeping up the appearance Of the cars on
the road is increased when coal burning
engines are used the cars require wash
ing, re painting and re-yarnishing oftener
than would be necessary if wood were
used. At the relative prices of wood and
coal furnished this company We find the
latter the cheapest but with wood at g
per cord and coal 50 per ton, | should GER
tainly give the preference to wood for fuel.

THENATTONALDEBT.

TOT tue Union ana DlSpdlcu-
The payment of the national debt by
large issue of greenbacks, is objected to by
the advocates of the national bank system,
on the ground that it will throw too much
paper money in circulation. Let us look
into this so far az it concerns Tennessee.
Previous to the war the three old banks in
our State had in circulation annually up
wards of ten millions dollars to this was
added the notes of many of the South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama banks, with
a small sprinkle from Kentucky; it is not
going beyond the mark to say that We had
tlOeiUe millions dollars paper money in Tennes-
see. All the notes issued by the two old
stock banks haze been paid by the banks, ex
cept the small amount of each bank yet in
the hands of the people, for which they
can get pay IN full by presenting
them at the banks. These two old
banks issued during the thirty years
they did business uplgdrd8 Of fifty million
dollars. The four national banks now in
Nashville do not all together, issue four
hundred thousand dollars, and every ma
tional bank III the State issues less than
one million dollars all told.
There are now about two million and
half dollars deposited in the four national
banks in Nashville on about three-fourths
of which the stockholders are making their
enormous profits by dealing in government
bonds. If these bonds were paid off in
green5dcks, nearly all this money would be
invested in manufactures, agriculture,
mining and other pursuits, adding wealth
and prosperity to the country. The con-
dition of things in Nashville are only
mention as an illustration Of the blighting
effects of the national bank system. The
uhoie country is dying under the same in
supportable load Of relieAess taxation, The
national banks in Nashville are owned and
managed by some of our best citizens,
men of upright and honorable characters,
and who are in no wise responsible or
accountable for the system under which they
are banking, and have perfect right to
run their machine to the best advantage as
long as the laws of the land make them
legal Reputation of the national debt
is not to be thought Of or entertained for a
moment-it must be pdjd-but it ought not
to be made burden Uhsn II can be made an
instrUmentt for eariching the country by furnish
ing the means for It's 0CH payment Let the
greenbacks be issued. There is no danger
of an inflated currency under the proposed
plan; this We propose to show conclusively
in our next.

GENTS An occurrence took place herethis

Rev. Thos. II. McCallie, a PRESBYTERIAN
minister residing at Chattanooga, Tenn,
was invited by the members of the Presbv-
terrain church at this place to conduct di-
vine services here to-day. Mr. McCalle
accepted the invitation, and accordingly,
came up on Saturday evenings train, to be
ready to fill his appointment to-day. Al
the depot he was met by Capt. David NJ
Nelson, a resident of this place and a
member Of Gov. Brovnlow's staff, who in
formed him that he could not preach here
to-day. Mr. MCCallie paid no attention to
his remarks, but went directly to his board

Mrs. Suratt-The Recommendation 10
Mercy.


WASHINGTON, August cit is under
stood Mr.. Johnson unequeVocally denies
that papers and findings of the court in the
assassination trial were first submitted to
the Cabinet, when he signed his approval of
action of the court He saws the official
record was presented to him by Gen. Holt,
and it was signed in his presence; that at
that time no recommendation for cOmmuta-
ton Of the sentence of Mrs. Surratt was
attached to the papers. The approval of
the sentence by the President was com
menCed on the next to the last page of the
last sheet, and finished on the other side Of
the same paper-instead Of only writing on
one side of the sheet as in the other sheets,
and this was done because there was no
other sheet remaining, and fastened it to
the documents presented for his signature.
As the document is pow found in the War
Department. the recommendation for
the communication Of Mrs. SurratPs
sentence follows all the other matters, and
is the conclusion of the document in the
official report of the trial of Ben Pitman,
who had access to the records and docu-
meEts by permission of Mr.. Stanton, for
the purpose of making up book. Every
thing appears except the recommendation
of the court for Communication Of the SEN
tence. Mr.. Pitman says in the introduc-
ton to his book, that it eeStains all the
orders, findings, sentences, documents, etc,
connected with the trial. 1t appears that
the papers were not presented to the Cabi-
net until the application for writ of haJea8
corpus was made, and after the sentence by
the President. The recommendation for
Communication is not in the handwriting OF
Mr.. Bingham, as alleged by some.
The Times special insists that the Presi-
dent did know Of the recommendation for
mercy to Mrs. Surratt previous to her
execution, and that all the Cabinet voted
for the execution.

The Johnson Stanton ImbrOgIiO-
Stanton Refuses To Resign


WASHINGTON, August SIT appears
that for more than year the resignation
of Mr.. Stanton has been looked for week
after week and month after month The
President waited, expecting each new day
10 hear from the Secretary, but no word
came, and at last letter was drawn up by
the President asking Mr.. Stanton to re-
sign. This letter was held back for some~
time, because the breach between the Secs
rotary and the President was daily grow
ing wider and wider. This hostility was
SO decided that it was thought Mr.. Stanton
could not go on much longer without ten
dering his resignation, but Mr.. Stanton did
go on in spite of hints and the evident de-
sire for his vacating. 1t was not until this
morning that the letter vas actually sent.
Should Mr. Stanton decline to yield, there
is authority for stating that the President
will undertake to remove him, and the
tenure-of-ofice bill itself. it is claimed,
will sustain him in this exercise of power.
The President believes the first section of
the bill does not take away his power of
removing Mr.. Stanton, as the latter was
appointed by Mr.. Lincoln, and not
Mr.. johnson. 1t reads thus:
Provided, That the Secretaries of State,
of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, of
the Interior, and the Postmaster General
and Attorney General shall hold their
offices respectively during the term of the
President by whom they have been APP
pointed, and one month thereafter, subject
to removal by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate"
The President takes the ground that he
can remove all his Cabinet except the three
appointed since his accession to Office. As
to who will succeed Mr.. Stanton, nothing
has yet been said. 1t is probably that Gen.
Grant will be summoned to act temporarily,
and the President thinks that it would be
the wisest choice for the present, General
Grant being familiar with army affairs, and
the chief of the army would undoubtedly
be an admirable selection. In making this
statement about Gen. Grant, am but
giving the impression Of the people Of all
grades of opinion here.
