SUPPLIES IN PARIS.

The authorities in Paris find the question
of food quite as perplexing as the presence
and force Of the Germans il alarming.
They have regulated its consumption az
ingeniously as it could well be done. To
have placed the entire population upon an
equality absolutely rs to quantity and
quality would have been impracticable.
The system adopted is thus explained by
the New York Times: Each butcher re-
ceives every morning a certain supply of
meat, the quantity being determined by
his average sales. Against this supply the
butcher issues coupons to his customers.
lasting for the week, The customers cut
OF a ticket daily and draw their allowance.
They get no more beyond this, nor can any
one not customer get any at all. Thus
an artificial scarcity is produced. Many
persons can get no tickets, and so can get
no meat The restaurants cannot get
enough for their customers, who have
money to pay. But the consequence is a
great economy in the use of the supply.
French cooks have long been famous for
making animal food go far, and their ira
ditiona' skill viii now be taxed to the ut
most The amount Of meat in Paris is still
very large. There is also a vast quantity
of salted beef and pork, and in addition to
the rest there are 22,Oooooo pounds of
horsehesh. Thus, butter is selling at five
francs pound a pair of ducks cost twenty
francs, n goose the same, chicken ten
francs, ham three francs the pound, and 10
on. OF course, few can pay these prices.

OUR CAMPAIGN RATES.

For the purpose of keeping the facts of
this important and exciting canvass for
Governor, Congress and the General As
sembly before the people, we offer the
DAILY and WEEKLY CHRONICLES during
the campaign and until full returns of the
election are given, at the low rates given
on the third page of our paper, to which
we invite the attention of our readers.
We urge our friends everywhere to get up
clubs, 30 that the people may keep
thoroughly informed as to what is new in
the campaign. The rates are SO low that
the paper is within the reach of the poor
est. No more effective way of arousing
the people to the importance Of the cleo
ton can be found than in circulating our
campaign paper.

THE CHEAPEST ADMINISTRATION SINCE
JACKSON.

In an able speech delivered by Senator
Conkling, in the State of New York, we
find some interesting and at the same
time, creditable statistics bearing upon the
Integrity and economy of President Grants
Administration. AS the question of Gov
crnmental expenditures has been made so
prominent in the canvass now progressing
by the Democracy, we desire to invite the
attention of every honest tax-paying citi-
zen to the following facts.
Comparing the civil expenditures of the
Administrations Of Jackson, Van Buren,
Polk, Pierce and Buchanan with that of
Gen. Grant, we find this result: For the
year ending June 80, 1870, the last fiscal
year, the cost of the Government was
S1.6l5 for every person in the Nation, and
this is less by thirteen cents than the ave-
rage cost for twenty-four years preceding
the rebellion. This assertion may surprise
you, and 30 l will give you data

How{sCHBNCK WAS DEFEATED.

There is located at Dayton, Ohio, noble
National charity in the shape of an asy-
lum for disabled soldiers who fought to
defend the Government in the years of its
peril. That asylum is their home. They are
kept there by the contributions of people
grateful for services and sacrifices render
ed. There are over -four hundred of these
veterans there gathered. On last Tuesday,
in the Democratic city of Dayton, Ohio
the home of Vallandigham-these men
attempted to exercise the rights of free
men, but were refused. Democratic judges
refused to allow them to vote. General
Schenck was defeated for Congress in that
District by ll2 votes. If the 400 crippled
soldiers had been allowed to vote last
Tuesday, as they did in 1868, he
would have been elected by 800 majority.
1t remains to be seen whether he can be
defeated in such way. II these soldiers
cannot vote at the asylum, which is GER
tainly now their home, where will they be
permitted to vote? Or will he Democracy
attempt by such n trick to disfranchise
them?

OUR INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The people of this State, and especially
of Eastern Tennessee, are deeply interested
In the improvement of our navigable
streams, our railroad system, and our pub
lie thorougfares of every kind. Nothing
so encourages the productive energies of
the people rs a quick and remunerative
market, which cannot be affected by
monopolies or rings. What has contributed
so materially to the wealth OF the great
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana and the New England
States as their interminable network of
railway lines and their navigable rivers
Look at the great West, where property
goes up TO such fabulous prices in the lapse
of only u few weeks, when the shrill neigh
of the iron horse is heard over the broad
prairies. We compare these rich and pop
ulous districts at the North and East,
where their natural advantages are in no.
wise superior to ours, with our own section,
and are led to inquire why it is so. The
answer lies in the superior commercial and
manufacturing advantages offered by their
ready facilities for reaching market. We
must either ship our produce over one line
of railroad or else we must rely upon the
Holston and Tennessee rivers, which, in
their present condition, are not navigable
for at least one-third of the year. Besides
this, there is now a very large portion of
our section of the State which cannot
reach either of these avenues of trade, and
are forced to bring their produce to market
II long distance, over sorry dirt roads,
which, in the winter season. become al
most impossible for heavy laden wagons.
Thus, our productive energies are discour-
aged, and where we produce hundreds we
might just as well produce thousands of
dollars. 1t is well known that our noun
tain streams furnish the finest water now
er in the world and the only reason why
they are not driving machinery that would
produce manufactured articles, to a large
extent, for the entire South, is that the
proper facilities are not offered for reach
ing the various markets-North, as well as
south. These are questions which should
interest all our people, and we ought also
tO inquire how Il remedy is TO he effected.
The remedy is very plain, We must COM
plcte unfinished railroads and open up still
NN4lN'0' INV lb'tN0 iAltNN AlFt llIlCt 10 AilOb
mrnpikes, and the Tennessee river should
80 improved rs to be navigablc at all times
in the year. These are matters we should
look to and try to encourage by State and
National legislation, and push forward by
private enterprise. We are forced to do
this, or lose our natural advantages and be
outstripped 10y our less fortunate but more
enterprising neighbors We have not
space in a short newspaper article to sug-
gest how it should be done, and only write
for the purpose of suggesting, or, rather,
for the purpose of bringing the matter to
the attention of inquiring minds.
