In closing our last report we remarked
that the market was moderately active,
at prices about I2k to 2Oo lower on the
common grades, while prime were selling

vancing prices to what they had been the
previous week, thus recovering the de-
cline suffered at the opening of the mar
ket, and ever getting a slight advance.

INFORMATION EXTRAORDINARY.

IL Is astonishing what vast fund Of
general information is kept on hand for
gratuitous distribution in these benighted
regions, from the editorial sanctum of the
Press and Herald Office They possess not
only vast fund of general infoi nation,
but have an enviable amount of light on
special subjects, which IL not vouchsafed
to individuals of ordinary capacity. If a
man will read that journal every day, he
will see great many things he never heard
of before, and, in all probability, will never
hear of again. For instance on Sunday
morning, under the expressive caption Of
Petty Meanness," we are favored with
ray of light which but for this far-sighted
and astute editor, would have never reached
these dark regions, and poor, oppressed
old pensioners, of whom the Press and
Herald is all at once the self-constitut-
ed gurdian, would have CROPPED in
midnight darkness for the balance
of their natural lives. We are told in
that paper, that the Commissioner of
Pensions has announced that when wit
nesses testify to the loyalty of claimant
under the act of Congress granting a pen
sion to soldiers of the war of 1872, "their
own loyalty must be shown by the certif-
cate of an officer of the United States
Court, United States Commissioner, or
an officer of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau." This we ordinary mortals know to
be fact, but in the next sentence we are
told by this astute editor that "the rule APP
plies only to the South, and no question is
raised at the North, so that under the ope-
ratons of department regulation, we are
to have one law for the Southern soldiers
of 1912, and another for those of the
North" This is a piece of information
which could have been procured only from
the Press and Herald. We have before
us circular issued from.the PensionIOffice
we are informed, was sent to all
but from reading it, we supposed that it
and we yet have no other information, ex-
the medium of the Press and Herald. We
might doubt the correctness of the infor-
nation thus gratuitously impaired, but
this would be doubling the embodiment of
truth and veracity ~ which wouldn't do
at all.
Then in the next sentence, this astute
and all-wise editor fayors us-without ask
lug any compensation therefor-with his
definition of loyalty, which he says is
nothing more and nothing less than sup
port of the Radical party" What extra
ordinary information! How convenient
to thus have in our midst n luminary that
sheds such brilliant and unusual light in
to the dark corners We suppose how
ever that this remarkably brilliant editor
derives ample compensation for this efiu-
sion of light from the proud satisfaction
that no other man in all this land is in pos
session of what he states for facts.

OUR NExr LEGISLATURE.

We hear the question propounded al
most daily, "What is our next Legislature
going to do.r We hear men enquiring
whether or not it will prove so worthless
rs the last. Our reply has been, that we
expect better things from the next Legis-
lature than we had from the last; more
upon general principles than from anything
we know of the character of the men COM
prising the next Legislature. Certainly it
cannot be worse. 1t would be impossible
to find an equal number of men in the
State more incompetent or more corrupt
than those comprising our last General
Assembly. Besides, if the next Legisla-
ture is so eorruptly inclined, il cannot do
so much mischief, for it can only remain
in session seventy-five days, whereas the
last was in session almost continually for
a year and half. While we do not be-
lieve the Senate will be composed of as
much talent as the Senate of the last Leg
islature, we think there viii be much inn
provement in the House. ..r ....-.
But we will be agreeably surprised, if
the next General Assembly does not pur-
sue, in some degree at least, the same par
titan course which rendered the last in
famous. We predict that the question of
recognizing Congressional Districts, with
view to Democratic victories, will take
up more time than any question affecting
the material interests of the State. The
main question will be, to so arrange the
First and Second Districts as to provide
for the election of Democrats. If no more
than half Of the time allotted for holding
the session is not devoted mainly to this
matter, we will begin to entertain some
hopes for a returning sense of propriety
on the part of Tennessee Democracy. If
anything, having a shadow of reason, can
be done to rid the State of Republicans on
the Judiciary, we doubt not but that it
will he attempted, but we do not expect
such brazen effrontery or partizan mean
ness as characterized the acts of the last
General Assembly in this respect. The
action will not be of such a wholesale
character. But we can afford to wait and
time will tell all. We feel at liberty to
premise this much at least Our next Gen
eral Assembly will not commit any act in
tentionally, calculated to injure the DEM
ocratic party.

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

The Civil Service Commission, after q
brief session in Washington, has adjourned
to meet again in October. The cause of
adjourning, it is understood, was to give
the Attorney General OF the United States
an opportunity of preparing his opinion as
to grave constitutional question which
met them at the very threshold of their
work. 1t is, as to the power of vestiDg in
the President the privilege of appointing
clerks and subordinates, privilege now
exercised by the heads of Departments.
If the Attorney General holds that the
President can made such appointments the
Commission will present recommended
ton for n system of competitive examine
tons and vest in the appointing power the
right to remove from office without as
signing cause.
While in session the Commission exam
ined thoroughly the condition of the civil
service In the Departments, and from the
Boston advertiser we learn Mr.. Curtis and
Mr.. Cattell, after personal inspection of
the system OF examinations and appoint
ments in the treasury department, confess
| ed that reform they did not dream of
| had been going on, that they found the law
| of 1853 honestly enforced, and that if the
| system itself was defective the manner in
which it was enforced left little to be de-
sired. The system adopted varies in diff
ferent bureaus, and is greatly deficient in
some of them. But as n rule it will un-
questionably appear, when the commits
| sioners make their report, that the depart
ments are in much better condition than
| has been represented, and that the reforms
TO be made must be rather with reference
to abuses which may arise hereafter, under
an administration less wise and efficient
than the present one than with reference
to fruits already existing.

IMPORTANT SUIT COMPROMISED.

We learn that the suit of the United
States VS.. The Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, which has been pend
ing since November, 1863 I'm the Circuit
Court of the United States at Nashville.
has been compromised. The Railroad
Company pays 10 the United States ono
million Of dollars in the bonds Of the Com
pany, bearing four per cent. interest and
running twenty and forty years The
amount i'm controversy was about 81 ,750,-
900, and was the amount claimed by the
Government for rolling stock, material and
Improvements which the road received
during and at the close Of the rebellion,
The Government settled the case under
authority of joint resolution passed by
Congress ut its last session, which gave TO
the War Department and counsel employ
ed in the cause-Hon. a. +. Perry and
Stanly Matthews OF Cincinnati Ohio
power to compromise upon the basis OF
equity and justice.

QUICK WORK.

We published brief telegram one morn
ing last week to the effect that on last Sun
day the gauge Of the Louisville division of
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad would
be changed from six feet to four feet eight
inches. After months of careful prepare
ton, the work was consummated last SuH-
day morning between the hours Of day
light and eleven A. NJ, the gauge of fifty
three miles having been changed, with but
the interruption of one single train. Ten
men were placed on each one of the fifty
three miles, and i'm seven hours the work
was completed. Next Sunday the gauge
on the entire road from Cincinnati to St.
Louis will be changed in the same way.
This is one of the greatest feats in the rail
road line in this age of rapid progression
in all such matters, and we record it as an
evidence Of the energy, enterprise and eff
ficiency of American railroad men.

A GOOD WORK FOR EAST TENNESSEE.

The last session of the Forty-first Con-
gress appropriated some forty thousand
dollars, las we now recOllect, for the inn
provement of the Tennessee river above
Chattanooga, or at such points as cOmpe-
tent engineers should determine The APP
preparation was first demanded for inn
provements below Chattanooga, but owing
to the efforts of our representative, Mr..
Maynard, it was SO divided as to give East
Tennessee part OF the fund. .
This work is one of great interest to East
Tennessee, and we chronicle the beginning
of it with great pleasure. The navigation
of the Tennessee river is one of great inn
portance to this section. The new coal
and iron mines being developed every
year, and the rapidly increasing shipments
of grain aud produce from the country
contiguous to its banks, make it one of the
most important of the inland rivers of its
size on the Continent. The judicious eX-
penditure of the annual appropriations,
which through proper influences can he
secured from Congress, will greatly i'm
prove its navigation, and benefit every de-
partment of industry in East Tennessee.
! 1t therefore affords us great pleasure to
call attention to the beginning of the good
work.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1871-07-26

THE first word in contradiction of the
JEFF, Davis sleeping-car story we see, is
from the Louisville Couricr-Jouy7adl of the
18th, which came to hand yesterday. 1t
does not pretend to know anything of the
facts, but ventures to deny it upon the
strength of the general good character of
the ex-President, and upon the improha-
bilities of the story. AS against this we
have, first, the high character Of the Lou.
isville Commercial fer veracity and pru-
dence second, the details of the facts,
with the names of several railroad men,
some of them officers of the Memphis and
Charleston Road and third, the fact that,
including the Memphis Avalanche Of the
18th, not one word in contradiction ap-
pears. 1t seems to us that, with the names
and official position of the railroad officers
before them, it would be an exceedingly
simple thing for the Memphis papers to
find out the facts, and we are ready to be-
lieve that in such a case they would feel at
least interest enough in the character OF
their leader to enquire into the charges.
But we will in all probability soon have
| the other version of the affair. Mr. Davis
passed through this city yesterday, read
the account of the affair As republished in
the CHRONICLE, and if it is false he will
probably take an early opportunity tC
| denV il.

PRESIDENTIAL spEcuLArroNs.

Under the head of presidential nomi-
nations Mr.. Curtis in one of his admir-
able editorials in Hdrpcr's Weekly, discus
ses the chances of President Grant for a
denomination. He concludes his article
as follows: 1.-THE grounds, therefore, upon
which General Grants denomination are
probable are the results of his administra-
ton, to which may be added the evident
difficulty of uniting his opponents in the
party upon any candidate. The general
feeling which will press for his renomina-
ton is that he is an honest man who, what
ever criticisms may be truthfully made in
detail sincerely wishes the public welfare
and seeks it. Under his administration
rights have been protected, burdens have
been lifted, the most threatening questions
have been settled, vital reforms have been
begun, and the prosperity of the country
secured by the consciousness that peace
would be maintained-a consciousness
which would vanish before Democratic
success. Why should we change? will be
the question of the party. Under whom
should we have promise of more appre-
cable and valuable results? During this
administration the purpose of the people
has become so plain that the Democratic
party abandons its positions, and confesses
that its hopes of success rise in the degree
that it becomes Republican. Is it not well
| it will be asked, to maintain situation in
which the real opposition-the opposition
| of principle-dissolves? ?"
