Good 1drice for the Season.

The Providence journal urges people
TO pay their small bills 1t says: The
prompt payment OF small bills is some
thing more than convenience, consider
/ ium its results, and the real distress.
which the neglect of it often occasions,
raises it to the dignity Of a virture.
| There are many tradesmen, engaged III
extensive business, who have to meet
/ large payments, and who depend for them
upon the aggregate OF small sums. l.
makes no sort of difference to the payer
whether these small sums are paid to-
tay. or Tomorrow. or next week. Ii
makes "A weightv difference to the trades
man, who is obliged to keep two or three
clerks running after little bills, and TO
pay one per cent a month for the money
that i due to him, in 4 thousand little
sums. that he should have for the asking
and that he i kept out OF bv the thought
ic>,nc>S of his customers whom he does
not wish to offend by importantly" That
i all true as the gospel, but we would
;each even a purer virtue, a higher NOR
atty, and say don't make any small bills,
but pay as you % The habit OF getting
every thing charged, from tooth pick
20 Il barrel of fl Dur, is most pernicious
one, yet most people would be surprised
il they could See the bills made out by
on" traders. to perceive how many small
CHARGES they have. how, even, in many
hundreds of instances the whole bill Of
IN individual Tor the quarter or the halt
wear, as the case may be, is less than ten
dollars Probably the individual had
the money in hi, pocket when he made
the purchase, and sheer laziness or the
force OF habit prevented his paying for it
down, and thus ending the matter. In
stead Of that ii was charged upon the
books, drawn off upon bill, ard per-
maps took the time of Il clerk half an
hour to collect. Much is it costs mcr-
chants and mechanics to collect these
small sums. they cannot afford to lost
them, for the aggregate often amounts 10
considerable sum but their customers
ought not to ask them to submit to such
Il tax, for it really amounts 10 that.

The BYRON SCANDAL - CARD FROM
Mas. STowE.-Hartfnrd. Conn, October
9th. The Cuuraut Tomorrow morning will
contain card from Mrs. Stowe, in which
she says she desires the friends of justice
and fair dealing to publish the announce
ment that she has kept silence heretofore
in regard to the criticisms on the Lord
Byron affair for two reasons: First, because
she regards the public mind in too excited a
state to consider the matter dispassionateiy ;
second, because >he has expected the de-
veIopment of additional proof in England /,
some of which, of great importance, has
already come to hand.
Mrs. Stowe is preparing review Of the
whole matter, with further facts and more
documents, including several letters of
Lady Byron tn her, attesting the vigor and
souBdness of her mind at the period referred
to also, Mrs. Stoves own letters to Lady
Byron at the same time, which were returned
to her by the executors soon after the lady S
death. She will also give the public a fu II
account OF the circumstances and reasons
which led her to feel it her duty TO make
this disclosure, Obllging alike to justice,
gratitude and personal friendship.

Railroad Connections South.

The Nashville Banner Informs us that
the North and South railroad, is in &C.
tive progress from Montgomery to De-
catur. Tho Banner says the engineers
and laborers are working like beavers,
and the time is not distant when this
great trunk line, so long in contempla-
ton, will be an accomplished fact.
| The people of Virginia and especially
those of Richmond and Norfolk, will
read the following remarks of the Ban
ner with pleasure. That paper says:
We know of no point on the road
which has greater promise than the lit
tie town of Elyton, which has become
quite point of attraction of late to
manufacturers and Spectators. This
village will be at the intersection of the
Northern and Southern roads, from De-
catur to Montgomery, Alabama. and
from Chattanooga, Tennessee, 10 Madi-
son, Mississippi. 1t is in contempla-
ton TO extend the Aberdeen and Eyiton
road to Atlanta, Georgia, distance Of
one hundred and twenty miles, to con-
meet with roads, leading through Char
lotte North Carolina, to Richmond and
Norfolk, Virginia, and with the road
leading to Charleston, South Carolina.
On the west tho Aberdeen and Ely
ton railroad will connect with a road
leading directly to Memphis, Tennessee,
in northwesterly direction, and with
road leading in a southwesterly direo-
ton to Canton, Mississippi, and thence
to jackson and Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The road from Elyton will also be eA-
tended in westerly direction to Grena-
da, Mississippi, on the Central rail. Dad.
This road will be the nearest route from
Canton and Grenada, Mississippi, to
Charleston, South Carolina, Richmond
and Norfolk, Va.
Fields of business are opening to us
n all quarters. Let us improve them.

blage at Corinth, Miss, Saturday, DUR
ing which he said, there were two par
ties at present in Mississippi. One was
known as the "bitter enders' or "ex-
tremists, the other as the National Re-
publican Union Party. The former,
led by Tarbell, Ames, Alcorn q Co.,
wanted to disfranchise the white people,
while the party he belonged to was in
favor of universal suffrage and amnesty.
One hundred and fifty colored persons
were present, and these he urged in the
strongest terms not to be antagonistlc to
the people of the South. Many men
from the North were contending that it
was through their efforts the colored
race had freedom. Such was not the
fact. Gen. Grant and other distin-
guished soldiers and statesmen had de-
clared that it was only circumstance
of war, that it was never intended TO
give the oolored man his freedom until
it became war necessity. Neither was
it intended to give them the right TO
vote until it became political necessl-
ty in the work of reconstruction. Lie
closed his address by calling on those as
sembled to support the men who were
in favor of peace throughout Mississippi
and the entire country, and who were in
favor of equal rights to all. The conser-
yative republicans held ratification
meeting at jackson, Miss, on Monday.
A number of speeches were made.

Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of John lien,
known as 'the Wickedest Man in New
Yo,k," died of dropsy, at her homo in
Roosevelt street, on Saturday last. Her
health had been declining for some
time, owing to her habits of dissipation.
The property where her family resided
is valued at about sixty thousand dol
lars, and is the fruit of Johns nineteen
years of labor in the dance house bust
ness 10 Water street. The funeral took
place at the residence Wednesday at l

present, for most of Mrs. Aliens old
dance house friends had come to take
the last farewell OF their, OLD compan-
ion. Only five or six men were to be
seen, all the rest were girls and women.
Three Catholic priests had been in at
endance up to the time of her death.
The Rev. j. G. Arnold, formerly SUI
perintendent of the Howard Mission
and an old friend of tho Allen family,
was present. A large proportion of the
mourners did not appear to manifest
much grief for the loss of an old friend.
Some of the men and women swore
strange oaths, while others talked and
laughed as they had done so often on
other occasions. The "Wickedest Man "
took things coolly, and just before the
corpse was removed he went out and
got o drink. Many of the women
walked up to the coffin. gazed mo-

face of the dead three Shines. Little
Chester, boy of about eighs years,
seemed deeply affec ed, and he could
scarcely believe that he was never to

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore Sum-
POLITICS IN TENNESSEE.

PULlIICS
Washington, Sept. pa Northern
gentleman who has just returned from
an extended trip through Tennessee
states that the prospects for the election
of Andrew johnson TO the United States
Senate are waning every day. During
his stay at Knoxville, Nashville, and
other large cities and towns in that
State, he had an opportunity of con-
versing with number of the members
elect of the next Legislature, friends Of
he ex-President, who are exceedingly
anxious that he should be placed in a
prominent leading position.
While at first they strongly advoca-
ted his election to the Senate, a calm
consideration of the political situation Of
Tennessee convinces them that the Sta;o
cannot afford at this time to jeopardizs
its standing with the administration
The election of Mr.. johnson would,
they think, virtually invite opposition
from Congress and hinder their prosper
lily both politically and financially, q
condition of things they are bound to
avert, even at the sacrifice of the man
of their choice. Mr.. johnson has been
of these views by some of his
staunchest friends, and while at first he
was sanguine of success, he now admits
there is but little hope left. He recog-
nizes the force of the argument of his
friends, and SAYS he could not expect
bat Tie sternest Opposition
from his political opponents in Con-
gress, y. n.
