COMBINATION FOR THE PREsI-
nEN6,K

The Washington correspondent of 4
Richm mond paper gives the following ac-
count of the movements Of the friends of
Presidential aspirants:
The rumOrs / mentioned in my last about
the combinations being made for the next
Presidency, turn out to be facts. A slate
has actually been prepared by the western
Radicals, on which Speaker Colfax has
been marked down as President, and the
pious General .. O. Howard, of The Freed
mans Bureau, for Vice President A club
has been formed in this city TO promote the
nomination of these persons in the next
National Republican Convention. The
New England Radicals rather demur at the
arrangement as regards Coifax, and pro-
poses Senator Fessenden as their repre-
sentative man. The Herald, which has ad-
vOcated and damned almost every promi-
nent man By turn, is beginning to write up
General Thomas, of Nashville fame, for a
Democratic nomination for the Chief
Magistracy. General Grants name appears
to have been dropped in this connection.
He announced some time ago that he would
not be candidate. He has a much easier
berth as commander-in-chief of the army.
Chief Justice Chase's aspirations are well
known. Senator Morgan wants to be Presi-
dent, too and the friends of General Nc
CIellan assert that he is good for a second
heat. As the Radicals are arranging that
the Southern States shall have no voice in
the next Presidential election, you will
only have the pleasure Of looking on at the
fight The election is really so far of that
the wire-pulling Of these ambitious men
appears absurd. Eighteen months are a
long time in the career of this go-ahead
republic, and within that period 50 many
important events may occur, that affairs
may wear a very different appearance.
New and unthought of men may turn mp
prominently in the conduct Of the nations
vicissitude. Who would have predicted
the election OF Polk, Pierce and Lincoln
to the Presidency year before their inau-
guratiOn?

AN AMERICAN HOTEL CLERK.
From a California paper.


tell you a hotel clerk is the embodi-
ment and concentration of dignity. If
their wealth is to be judged by their
dignity, they must be possessed of several
millions apiece. Perhaps you are not
aware what am driving at. Just go ard
ask one of these lOdging-room pOtentates
of the whereabouts of some friend of yours
who may be an inmate of the house Pro-
yiding you are Major General or a Con-
gresham, yOu may receive a satisfactory
answer. If you are a Brigadier, you may
get vague one. IL a Colonel, it may be
necessary to wait three or four minutes. If
a Captain or Lieutenant, six or seven. If
a civiliar-but words fail TO convey an
idea Of the manner in which civilians are
crushed and sHbjugated when they pro-
pound their inquiries. Not that they are
rude. Oh, no! But there is a majesty, a
loftiness, an exultatiOn, a consciousness of
power in their words, looks and gestures
which reduces the inquirer in his own
estimation TO the last verge of inferiority.
Christians who are always strong TO
humble and abase themselves, whose be-
setting sin is pride, just come down here
and take a dose or two of hotel clerk.
Whenever feel that need taking down
q peg or two, have a neyer-failing rem
edy. | merely step into one of our first
class hotels and ask: as Mr.. Smith
here ?" and the great man, after
the necessary delay, lifts his eyes, aad,
feel that | am worm, and, when he speaks,
/ deem myself Chinaman.

A NEW YEARS STORY FOX YOUNG
gEEE


AS an incentive TO save, and an evidence
how rapidly capital, judici0asly invested,
will increase, we may mention a little incl
dent that has just come TO our knowledge.
A few days ago the circle Of active business
men was shocked by the announcement Of
the sudden death Of Edward G. Dale, ESQ.,,
President of the Norristown Railroad Com
psny, and Nice-President Of the Franklin
Fire Insurance Company. In 1850, sixteen
years ago, Mr.. Dale retired from the office
of prothenotary of the District Court of
this city, with $l4, 900 as the net proceeds
Of his Tenure in Office, and, as he at the
time ayowed, about all of his earthly pos
sessions. This sum he placed in the hands
Of Amos Phillips, a personal friend and
shreWd manager of money, without written
acknowledgment, to be used as his own,
and to make return 10 him or his heirs
when called on. The fact of his deposit,
thus made sixteen years ago, was known
in Mr. Dale's lifetime only TO the
parties Immediately connected with it
and Mr. Dale having died suddenly.
leaving no will or other record of this par.
ticular investment, from which he had
never drawn anything, and which had
steadily increased, his heirs, son and
daughter, on Friday last, were not a little
surprised to receive from Mr.. Phillips, in
frst-class securities and cash, the handsome
sum of Sc, 0,4l6. Though Mr.. Dale had
subsequently made and saved since his de-
posit Of 81, 200 with Mr.. Phillips, in 1850,
a very handsome estate, these unknown Sc
curities passed over by Mr.. Phillips was a
perfect windfall. The growth of the de-
posit was mainly in interest-the securities
invested being entirely of reliable char
acter. At six per cent the sum would
double in about eleven years, making, say,
$4,000, and in seven years since, about
two-fifths more would be added TO the $780,
600, making, without speculative ventures,
the sum paid over to the heirs. This sim
pie transaction demonstrates the important
fact that fifteen thousand dollars saved and
invested at thirty years Of age, is worth as
much as sixty thousand at ffty-two years.
Thus let the young remember the import
ant fact of beginning to lay up early
Philadelphia Ledger.

A GENTLEMAN in Ohio deserves the
thanks Of the community at large for hav.
ing brought a railroad conductor to terms,
and settling en- important principle After
buying his ticket al Cincinnati, he stepped
upon the train, which consisted Of two cars
the ladies' car and the smoking car-and,
being refused admittance TO the former,
temporarily took his seat in the latter.
When the conductor came along, he de-
clined to give up his ticket on the ground
that he he'd paid for a seat in first class
car and wss entitled TO have it, for which
refusal he was elected from the train. The
gentleman then applied to the Office Of the
railroad company for redress The con-
pany promptly dismissed the conductor,
and paid the passenger for his lost time,
thus establishing the principle, on that road
at least, that the company is bound 10 fur
nish 6rst-class sccommodationsto to traveller

KSoxvIrE Tenn, January, lst 1867,
G. W. Park, Esq: In answer to your in
quiry, / will briefly say:
The act Of Assembly amending the act Of
Incorporation ofthe town Of Knoxville, passed
November 4, 1917, PROVIDE" That in all
future elections of persons to serve as alder
men of the corporation Of said town, it
shall and may be lawful for every person
10 vote who Is twenty-One years OF age or
upwards, and who owns freehold in said
town aad likewise for each and every
person who il twenty-one years Of age or
upwards and who resides in said town and
hath an interest in a lot or part of lot
therein as great or greater than lease for
one year"
The franchise Law" to which you re-
fer, in section five provides That no per-
aon shall be entitled to vote at anv State,
county, district or municipal election or
any other election held under the laws of
this State, unless he shall have been regis.
tered and shall have received a certificate
thereof as provided by this act"
It is manifest that this act was intended
TO be applied to, and TO regulate the char
ter elections throughout the State; and if
the act itself be constitutional and valid,
then its restrictions will apply to the voters
in our approaching municipal election.
But without taking time now to give the
reasons for my opinion upon a subject to
which | have given some study, | will say
that | am fully satisfied the said franchise
act' is unconstitutional and ought so TO be
held by every judicial officer. The Judges
who may be appointed and qualified TO
hold our municipal election are the lawful
arbiters Of this question. They will sit as
official officers They will enjoy full inn
munity from responsibility except in cases
Of malicious or Otherwise corrupt conduct.
At the same time they will be, primarily,
the Judges of the constitutionality of the
laws enacted with a view of governing or
regulating the election. If they should
think as | do, the franchise law will not
be regarded in the discharge Of their
duties. On this point each Judge Of the
election has a right to decide for himself
Very respectfully, JNO. NJ FLEMING.
