the present system the check, if not good,
Is discovered and made so before
three o'clock Of the day on which it
is drawn. The bill requiring the banks
to make their returns to the Comptrol-
fer monthly instead of quarterly meets
with greater favor, although some believe
that the effect would be more salutary on
the banks if the statements were required
to be made on some past day to be desig-
mated by the Comptroller, and if the sys-
tenn of fixed dates was entirely abolished

Notes ON the Max.


We LEFT Kingston Springs Tuesday
evening in the wake Of the regular train,
at the different stations till we
reached Smesdsville, where we "iaid by"
during the night. This place is growing
rapidly, giving evidences Of good pOpu-
lation coming in from other States. The
road this side of Kingston Springs is not
SO good as beyond, owing to lack of ballast
and ditching, which is being rapidly re-
paired by the present management The
high trestle bridges and works are greatly
improved, and the travelling public may
look forward at no distant day to this
being one of the best roads in Tennessee.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
those in charge for the very superior i'm
provements now going forward in this road.
Our supper at 9 o'clock was one OF the
very best gotten up in Commissary Cen
eral DIVERS most peculiar style.
Sleeping we'll during the night, and get
ting up steam early, we pushed forward
over finely repaired road and reached

The staple has had black eye for several

nearly six thousand bales, or we may say

state of East Tennessee,

The Cleveland EAST Tenn Bonner, in
referring to the bill introduced in the Leg
islature creating East Tennessee into a sep
srale State, says:
There have been so many propositions
of this character within the last few Years
that this last move is hardly worthy Of
serious consideration. The whole thing is
Radical scheme. That party zee that
power is certain TO slip froE their grasp if
The State continues as it is, and hence they
want East Tennessee, which is SO intensely
Radical, cut loose from the other portion,
so they will have something to fall back
upon. The move wont win, and they
might as well give it up as bad job,

The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 18th inst. says:
"The money market is moderately
active at six and seven per cent, the latter
being the ruling rate. On pledge of
government bonds the leading dealers are
accommodated at six per cent. CONNER
cial paper is in fair request, and the better
grades pass readily at y TO 8 per cent.
The bill to prohibit the certifcation of
checks by the national banks, unless
the drawers have deposits fully covering
the amount of the checks, is the subject Of
unfavorable comment. Should it become
law it would practically fail to effect the
purposes sought, for it could easily be
evaded by resort to temporary loans ex-
tending from the commencement to the
close Of bank hours each day. If the Law
was observed the risk to the banks would
be increased; for instance, brokers
firm keeping accounts with two banks could
deposit in each bank an uncsrtiied check
on the other which would furnish an
ample deposit for certi6cation, according
to the requirement of the bill. The |
bank receiving the check would, 10 |

The Printing Office.

This is a very good place to work in,
as many of the ablest and best men Of
our country can testify, but in no other
place in the world is there so little de
inand for loafers and idlers as in a
printing office; for printers work,
above almost any other. requires his
undivided attention, and if he desires
to do well, idlers around him are a
great annoyance. And idlers are
generally not satisfied unless they
handle things around them, or receive
some attention from others; hence
the poor printer is often compelled to
explain and show everything about
the office, even down to the type
lice.n
I These remarks, however, have not
reference to persons who ask To see
the wonders of the printing Office,
who look sharp and touch nothing,'
and talk nothing except to the propri
etOr, or when they are talked to.
These are welcome, for they will new
er enter composing room without
asking, and they will strictly observe
the rules given them.
The press being acknowledged as
one of the most powerful clements of
civilization, no one should passthrough
lite without seeing one, rs well as the
little bits of metal that have such
power for ''weal or woe,' and the
manner in which they are so nimbly
handled.
