just before leaving Boston, Prince Arthur
sent to Miss Minnie Sherman, daughter of
General sherman, a chaste and costly gold
medallion, having his likeness ON one side
and that of Queen Victoria on the other. Ac
companying the gift was a delicatelY worde
note in which the Prince begged that Miss
Sherman would accept the medallion as a
token OF his appreciation fthe generous hos
FATALITIES he had experienced at the house of
her father, and as a slight tribute to the beau
ty of American women, of which she was so
striking an exponent.
One of the short railroads leading out Of
New York city has decided to issue free pass
for a term of years to every head of family
building and occupying house at certain
points along the road, in order TO stimulate
the building up of the suburbs. No doubt the
experiment will prove successful. 1t has long
been urged on the Boston roads, but none OF
them have ventured to try it.
A Dutchman once met an Irishman on a
lonely highway. AS they met, each smiled,
thinking he knew the other. Pat, on seeing
his mistake, remarked with a look Of disap-

us" The Dutchman replied Yaw, dat is

In recent trial in California, where Chi

The young lady who rises early, rolls up
her sleeves and walks into the kitchen to get
breakfast, or assist in doing so, and after
wards, with cheertulness, and sunny smiles,
puts herhouse in order without the assistance
of mother, is worth 3 thousand parlor beau
ties, who, for the want of exercise, complain
Of ennui and lounge in luxurious ease. The
former will make good wife, and render
home a paradise; TIE latter is a useless piece
of furniture, and will, to the annoyance OF
the household, go whining to the grave. Let

ANrmPoRrArr BILL.

The Chairman of the Committee on /
immigration in the House of Representa-
tives, l. D. Walker, introduced, and had
referred to his committee yesterday, .
most important bill, looking to the en-
couragement of immigration on what we
regard as the simplest and surest plan
ever suggested in the State. This bill
contemplates the election of State i'm
migration officer, who shall open at Nash
vile, an Office for the collection of Statis-
tics. This the bill contemplates having
done through county associations The
salary of this State officer is the only out
lay to be made by the State, all the
other expenses to be borne by the
county associations. Upon entering
upon his duties, this State officer is 30
make known to each county in the State
the purpose and plan of the law, and
invite cooperation by the formation Of
county associations, through which the
counties shall furnish to the State Office
the statistics, to-wit: The average value
of lands, the proportion of unimproved
land, the products. and their average
market value, the means of getting to
market, the railroads, turnpikes and water
courses passing through or near the coun-
ty, the water-power, mineral resources,
machinery in operation, schools etc.
All these facts the several coun-
ties in the State shall have q right
to furnish and have kept in
the State Office, upon contributing each
one its proportion of the expenses of ad-
vertisiDg, printing documents, etc.
The melit of this measure, it seems to
us, lies in the fact that with so small an
outlay, the whole State may be put to
work to encourage immigration. The
county associations win be voluntary, it
is true, but it is already known that many
counties viii at once organize. Let one
county organize, have neat map of the
county made, together with pamphlet
giving full statistics about water-power,
railroads, minerals, value and kinds of
lands, with the Productions, etc. Let
these facts be placed in the State office
for inspection, aud other counties in the
same section will BE- compelled in self de-
tense to do likewise. Indeed, the coun-
ties will all be glad to collect and furnish
the facts, for there is no county in Ten
nessee but what has men in it who know
how valuable such aggregate statistics
will be to US. Such an Office as this will
soon come to be the most attractive place
in the State, especially to strangers who
are beginning to come in large
numbers. Looking to our immense re-
sources, which only need TO be developed;
to the vast amount oil uuimproved lands,
and seeing what immigration has done fol-
other States, we feel sure this measure
viii strike the Legislature as one of the
most important, if not the most inapor
tdnt, that viii come before it at this ses-
| sion.

the demand. There is not banker IN
Wall street that could not sustain, at spe- !,
Gle values, as large circulation as the
outstanding greenbacks, with the same
amount of coin that Is now held idle in
the absolute ownership of the govern
ment. The Secretary of the Treasury is
now purchasing bonds, at cost of about
$l70, 600, 600 a year. From q return re-
Gently presented TO Congress, it appears
that from July l, 1869, to March 10, 1870,
atotal of So, 800, 6Oo in bonds were spur-
chased for the sinking fund, at an expense
of $23, s29, 800. During that period,
apart from the sinking fund, sum
of $S5,446, $50 was expended in thc
purchase of S7s, s25, $50 in bonds.
Here we have q total expendi-
ture, in period of eight and half
months, of SlO9, 276, 44O, in currency, in
payment of bonds. This is transferring
wealth at the rate of $17o, 600, 600 from
the tax payers, who cannot afford II, TO
the bondholders, who do not want this
money. This process is all wrong. tits
q reversal of the ordinary common sense
principles of finances to pass over debt
that is due to pay one that is not due. In
effect, Mr.. Boutwell, repudiates the de-
mand debt, and employs all the resources
of the Government in paying the funded
debt, that may just as well run on for a
more convenient season The result is, q
constant arrangement of values, and the
introduction of embarrassing elements
into ordinary mercantile operations.
This demand debt must be met some time,
and the sooner the better. The true pol
icy is TO make arrangements for its pay
ment as soon as possible, and reduce the
Government expenditures to the amount
of from $40, 100000 to 500, GOO, 900.
The saving to the tax payers viii give a
new impulse to industry that vii do more
to restore the public credit than can ever
be accomplished by the clumsy system of
bond purchases and gold sales"

CORRUPTION 10 BE EXPOSE j

CORRUPTION TO BE EXPOSE ID
The members of the legislative iuvesti
eating committees that have been in ses-
sion here for several weeks, have been
very reticent as to the discoveries they
have made, but some person who pro-
fesses to have obtained some of their Sc
crets. and who is endorsed as ''one well
acquainted with how things work, has
communicated them TO the Memphis
Avalanche. That paper says: "a
hideous amount of corruption will be
laid bare. Those sores have been putri-
fying for long time, aud when the scab
is removed, whewl the moral and patri-
otic proboscis of the public will suffer.
There is no calculating the quantity of
railroad matter that will run out No
less than eight of those institutions were
in the hands of receivers; and those
faithful officials, instead of paying any
money into the treasury, invariably called
upon il for their salaries Eight railroads,
worth $50, 600, 900, in the hands of re
ceiyersl The committee will, we are
assured, lay everything bare with merci-
less honesty. The school fund business
win be brought forth from its tomb into
which the last Legislature consigned it.
.Rutter, under promises of personal safety,
has exposed everything and everybody,
and it is painful to contemplate with pro-
phetic eye the sweeping political and
other decapitation that will take place
shortly. The reports of all three commit
tees will be submitted IN few days.
Enough money, in available greenbacks,
has already been discovered in these in
yestigations to doubly pay the expense of
the investigation. The committees have
been working for months, and every day
revealed new horrors of hypocrisy, cor
ruption and fraud" The letter to the
Avalanche contains these paragraphs:
GsThe natives will be astonished. There

tion that will scarcely be con rolled when
the public mind is made acquainted with
the frauds and outrages that have been
perpetrated upon them for the last five
years.

hans of all the committees, will involve

THE Chicago Post (RadicaD has the
following rather inexplicable paragraph !:
81 Gan that ais Africa is that it is homo
geneous. For many centuries it has been
absolutely alone, cultiyating solitude. 1t
has had little contact of foreigners. Even
within its own borders, its tribes have
hedged themselves within hostile walls of
spears, and grownup into ahundred tawny
sristocracies. What is the result! The
negro in Africa has never grown. Con-
sanguinity has killed him. His profile to-
day is precisely the same as that found
delineated on the most ancient Egyptis 4
and Etruscan monuments. Death is the
penalty nation pays for despising its
cousins.
If this has any practical meaning, it

full of the final ratification of the annexa-
ton treaty, and declare that since the
subject was first introduced, Senators
have been seeking information from all
available sources. Among these sources
the White House is the most conspicuous,
and the stream proceeding from thence is
not remarkable for purity. If this treaty
is ratified, it will be by improper infu-
ences. This fact is accepted by the ma
ton, and Senators must expect to be criti-
cised from that pOint.

/ Fair and Stock Sale of
the Tennessee Agricultural
and Mechanic Association
will take place on the Fair
Grounds at Nashville on the
18th, 18th, 10Th, Goth and
21st days of May, 1870.
Liberal premiums are offered
on all the leading classes of
Live Stock, Agricultural I'm

also on Fruits, Flowers and
Vegetables. Competition In
vited from all the States.

ton on each day of the Fair.
Persons holding stock of any
grade, class or kind, which
they wish to dispose OF, and
persons wishing to purchase
stock of any kind, will do
we'll to attend these Great
Stock Sales. Large quantities
of stock of all kinds will, in
all probability, change hands.
The Grounds have been great
ly improved, and the Direc-
tory will spare no pains to
make the Exhibition attrac-
tive and useful. No charge
will be made for exhibiting
any article or animal, nor for
bringing them into the
Grounds. The premiums for
trotting stock have been mod
flied from fastest" to "best.p
But speed is one of the tests,
and the lovers of fast driv-
ing will doubtless be highly
entertained. The lovers of
the chase have rare sport in
store for them. A red and a
| gray fox and two deer will be
turned loose in the Grounds
during the Fair, pursued by
a pack of thirty hounds and
five huntsmen. Let every
body come! Trains will leave
the Chattanooga depot every
half hour during the week.
