HE KING OF THE PAwN-BRoKnRs.
"A pawn broker, whose place of bust
ness is on Chatham street, New York,
is thus described
He is said to be worth a million dol
lars, and the business he carries on has
come down TO him from father an
grandfather. Ii was established seven
ty years ago, aad has grown and ex-
banded with the city, and now it coins
money. The building is four stories
high, and filed with goods so various
that no description can do justice to
them. There are all sorts of wearing
apparel, mathematical Instruments,
umbrellas Of all hues, sizes and pat
terms, horse pistols, rusty and savage
looking, beaver hats, new and old, fish
ing-rods, ladies' bonnets, prayer books,
jewelry, watches, diamonds, fat-irons,
children's clothing, everything it does
seem that the inventive mind of man
has ever fashioned for the use of the
world is here exposed, or tied up in
snug bundles waiting for the owner,
and waiting in most cases in vain, and
at last going to the pawn-broker's sales
of unredeemed articles. Over the door
hangs the triplet of golden balls with
which my Uncle" would hardly dig
Nifty his business.
We will turn the brass knob of the
outside door, push open the tattered
baize inside door, go in and study for
a time this queer trade in human ne
cessity. We find ourselves in long
room On the right board counter
divides the attendants from the Gus
toners. At the back are narrow stalls,
where modest poverty may barter with
the proprietor, without exposing the
fact quite SO publicly to the many in
the outside room.
"My Uncle himself is good study.
OF low statue, stout, red-faced, with
small and wicked looking eyes, which
glitter and snap like the stars on a
frosty night with a nose betokening
frequent rotations, and mouth which
is not SO deep as q well nor as wide
as a church door; but will serve" He
has a quick, rough way of expressing
himself, and when he can be particu-
larly severe upon needy one, an odd
kind of laugh comes up. and explodes
in short shots upon the air, as if he fed
on misery, and appetite had grown by
what it fed ON. He can look one
straight in the eye, and offer Eve dol.
lars for an article whose lowest value
could not be less than fifty dollars.
And with such an innocent way, too,
as if he were comforting a favor upon
you, by taking the article at all and
how thankful humanity ought to be for
such man, beams out in his express

We had hoped that our sprightly con-
temporary, the Ledger, would, last even
ing, have enlightened the public as to the
$500 which it, on one or two occs-
sions, mentioned in q mysterious sort Of
way ss connected with the missing
"school fund" But ii failed In what it
challenged US was q duty. We have not
been go derelict. Yesterday We made it
cur special business to obtain the facts
concerning this large sum, and submit,
as very reliably authority, the following
to our readers;
The Tennessee National Bank, some
time before It's failure, was made the de-
pository OF the funds Of the State from
whatever source collected in this city and
vicinity. AS such depository there
was, at the. time OF its closing,
the sum OF sd2, 600 on deposit for the
State, the proceeds Of tax collections.
There being 10 money from which to
reimburse the State for this cum, certain
"bills receivsble"- among the best in
the Bank-WeFe set aside and placed 10
the hands Of g reputable Law firm for
collection, the firm giving their receipt
therefor TO the State, which rsesipt is
now in the hands Of the State Treasurer,
aud Is doubtless carried over upon the
books Ot the State as representing psrt
Of her assets. This firm, We further
learned, has been compelled to institute
suits FOX the recovery OF tas value Of
these "biils many OF them now pend
ing in the Municipal, Chancsry and Su-
preme Courts. The amount is in no way
connected with the "Sehool Fund" and
could moi, as We understand, be applied
to the deficiency IN that fund of which
we complain. Ia this matter We acquit
the State authorities OF all culpRbility.

that to carry from the outlet OF the worm
the product Of distillstion to G still OF
doubler, through which such product
has not passed before reaching the worm,
il not s violation OF the act Of July 8,
1858. The interpretation Of q tank as q
receptacle between the worm OF the first
distillery and the doubler or second
worm, is not a violation Of this act, as
those conclusions refer only TO proof
spirits, and not other r~ectifying of the
same, or the manufacture of other alco-
holic eompounGs.
The new postal treaty with Great

IMMIGRATION.

From the Augusta Chronicle and Sen

the most feasible plan, with State aid,
OF securing a share Of the vast imml.
grantpopulstiou daily seeking our shores.
This is n Of the most practical sug.
gestions we have yet read, and compares
favorsbly with ~the.pIsn.of County Immi-
grant-Aid Societies suggested by Com
missioner BoKUM. 1t is worthy the con.
sIderAtion Of the farmers and planters of
Arkansas and Mississippi, as well as
those OF our W State. The people OF
the Middle States Of the South are be-
coming alive 10 the Importance OF seeur-
ing immigrants. W. hope thoss Of the
Mississippi Valley States will follow the
good example.

WHAT CONGRESS OUaHT TO DO rOR


In the long list OF appropriations for
eustombonses aud postoffiees suggested
In his annual report By the S~uperinten-
dent Of Public Buildings, there is not
one dollar asked for q Tennessee city,
Notwithstanding the United States here
greatly needs public buildings for her
law courts, postofiices, customs offices
and revenue offices.
Ia Memphis the offices OF the United
States are scattered from one end Of the
city to the other, making 1t quite & days
business, fer those who have occasion, to
reach them all. The Courts are s mile
removed from the postothoe, and the Col
hector of Customs . half mile from either,
the Revenue Collector and Assessor be-
ing 9 block or more apart. WeRre bear
Ing cur proportion ef the burdens
OF the Government and we submit
should have so much share Of the ben
eh.s as the construction Of public
buildings demands. Our present repre-
sentative-Mr. NUNN-might signalize
the close OF his congressional careerbys
securing for US an appropriation equal to
the construction of a handsome building
that would answer all The purposes Of all
the officers OF the Government located in
Memphis and, if troops are to be re-
tanned here, We suggest, also 81 sppropri-
alton for g healthfully located barracks.

gress grants tHe-sum needed.

gress ought to do for ua. VIII Mr.. NUM-
