Der 30, 100 hogs were shipped to this
market over. the Louisville q Nash

increase the number TO 40 600 This

Der of hogs shipped over the road last
season, aud IS by far the greatest nun
Der ever before received here by rail
in a similar period. At least four
tifths Of these hogs came from the
Knoxville Branch, and the increase
is directly attributable to the opening
of the railroad TO Richmond. The
very day after the completion of the
road to that place, cars were ordered
for the shipment Of hogs, and the de-
mand has been kept up steadily ever
since. When we reflect that hereto
fore the hogs and other products Of
that region have gone to CincinnaEi-

They WILL HAVE TO STAND 1T

AE4 WILL IN T. ~ A|A@N%'~
The Washington special reporter OF
the Courier Journal, of Louisville,
writes that General GRANT, refer
ring incidentally to the Fourteenth
Constitutional Amendment, said, after
the next census, in accordance with
its provisions, Kentucky and Mary
land would suffer loss of represent
alton if they refused to allow negroes
the right of suffrage. 1t is bitter
pill for them continued the General
but l suppose they will have to
stand it. ="
It is very hard to learn what Gen
ersL GRANT thinks or intends doing
through Washington correspondents.
Some of them represented him as re-
solved to play the conservative role,
and forthwith Democratic papers all
over the country congratulated them
selves on capturing the distinguished
General, and blasting his reputation
with the infamy that clings to such
party betrayers as TYLER, FILLMORE
and ANDY JOHNSON. Others. like
the correspondent of the Louisville pa
per, go to the opposite extreme and
Insist that Gen. GRANT will be the
most radical of Radicals, favoring
negro suffrage in its most impartial
form, and doing all that he can to
humiliate the South. Our own opin-
ion is that none of these correspon-
dents are altogether correct. We do
not believe Gen. GRANT consults
them or permits them to quiz him
His reticence in the past, when there
was not so much occasion for caution
as now, satisfies us that when the
proper time comes, Gen. GRANT will
make known his views. and not be
fore. We do not forget that he has
authoritatively announced tina the does
not intend having q policy OF
his own to conflict with the
will of the people. The Office Of
President is an executive Office. 1t
will be Gen. GRANTS duty to enforce
The laws, and he has never been noted
for going outside his legitimate duties
for the purpose Of attending to other
peoples business. If the people want
the Constitution amended so as to
extend Suffrage to the negro in all tbs
States, they can do so through the
proper channel, which is not thu
President. We feel confident tina
such will be the view taken of th,
matter By Gen GRANT, and that his
actions q II conform to this view. w
very much doubt that he will b.
found oficious in making any recon
mendatIons.

A WRITER in the atlantic for De-
cember has paid visit to foreign
consulate, and, among many other
singular things he has unearthed, the
following have come to the surface:
So, too. consul is supposed to be
commercial agent; but in fact, and
OF necessity, he Is everything by turns,
and nothing long. What with de
bentures,. invoices, protests, legaliza
tons, and the rest of the category,
his official duties are sufficiently nu-
merous, and .often perplexiug; but
his unofficial services, which never
figure In tie dispatches. are still more
multIform and multiplied. He con-
ducts trials, in which he is at once
advocate, judge and jury. He draws
up legal instrument as a notary,
signs it as a witness, and legalizes it
as consul. Now he is engaged IN
the humble vocation of an interpret
ct, or Udiet de place, and presto! he
is discharging the duties of minister
extraordinary. Now he is looking
after the stray baggage of some I'M
fortunate tourist, and anon he is de-
Gliding cases involving not only the
property and personal liberty, but
even the lives of his countrymen.
Certainly this is a very extensive
showing of work. But is it always
or even ever done by the Consul? We
have known a great many men who.
after making shipwreck of nearly all
their undertakings in life, were APP
pointed Consuls, apparently for the
reason offered by the backwoodsman
in recommending his dog as good coon
dog-that he was good for nothing
else. We are very certain, when they
arrived at their consulates, they didn't
do the amount of work set forth by
the writer In the atlantic. We con-
clude that the author has written up
an imaginary Consul, in order to bring
reproach upon our foreign officials by
having our people abroad contrast
what Consul ought to be, with what
he actually is. We fear. however,
that the satire is too delicate to con-
vey the lesson designed.

Reckless Expenditures.

It is reported at Washington as
known fact that the forthcoming
monthly report Of the public deb
will show an increase of abou
eleven millions OF dollars" This
for single month, is perfectly ter
rife. The present state and tendency
ofpublic affairs cannot continue much
longer without a catastrophe. We
are inevitably aud rapidly nearing the
frightful gut ct national bankruptcy
utter bankruptcy of the Government.
and, it is deeply to be feared, general
bankruptcy OF the people.-NelO al
bdny Ledger.
We remember that, just previous to
the Fall elections. the Democratic
papers abouuaed in paragraphs SIM
FAR to the above. When the official
statements we're published, they were
found not to correspond with the "re-
ports at Washington Fog several
years, if the Ledger and papers of that
party are to be believed, we have been
inevitably and rapidly nearing the
frightful gulf of national bankrupt :
oy;" but somehow OF other the gull
II about as far off as it was when the
public debt was many millions larger
than it is now. The gulf"
IS not visible to the naked eye. 1t is
the creation of disordered Democratic
imaginations. IF the last elections
proved anything, they demonstrated
that the people have no fear of bank
ruptcy CULTS, and that they are able,
and mean in good faith, to pay their
debts. The only papers which advo-
cate reputation and are doing
their best to dig the gulf which
haunts the Ledger, are those be-
longing to its party. Still, it will
be very surprising, if the. national in-
debtedness is not increased. Mr.
JOHNSON and Secretary MoCULLoOH
have both done their best to encour-
age extravaganza and fraud. Every
convicted counterfeiter has been
pardoned. Every revenue defraud-
er of any consequence, with per-
haps two or three exceptions, has
been allowed to escape the penalty OF
his rascality. Whisky Rings have
cheated the Government out Of its
legitimate revenue to an extent that
is almost incredible, and in every de
partment of the financial branch Of
the Government the greatest extrava
gance, looseness, and criminality has
been apparent. Under such an ad-
ministration of the finances it would
be most remarkable if the public deb,
was not increased. The Republican
party only promised that they would
inaugurate a system of economy when
they got entire control of the Gov
eminent. If they fail to make good
their promise they will no longer de-
serve the confidence of the people.
But until they get control of the ad-
ministration we think it will be more
modest for Democratic papers not to
find so much fault.
