ment of selfish political partisans in turn
ing the stream of taxes levied from the
people into the exclusive support of schools,
the superior control of which shall be exer-
cised, not 10y the civil authority, but by an
ecclesiastical hierarchy, the head of which
Is the Pope, and in which not only secular
instruction shall be given, but also posi-
uve' religious instruction, and that after
the manner of Rome. Let us then take
need! Once admit that the public school
money may be used in part to maintain
sectarian schools, under the conduct Of the
Roman Catholic Priests, upon the alleged
plea, which is at the root of this inter-
ference, that the state has no moral right
TO give secular without positiUc religious
Roman Catholic instruction to its chill
dren, and the principle upon which the
common school system rests is abandoned.
and the door opened to the use of the whole
of the money in that way! RUsr1Cus.

now in session at this place. The
Hon. James II. Randolph, presiding, and
under his rapid manner of disposing OF
public business, quite number of causes
have tried, the most important of
which are the following:
The State VS.. Jas, Winkler for murder
of Heinz Russell, continued by the defen-

The State VS.. Jesse Shaufner. robbery.
The jury made a mstrial.
The State VS.. David Morgan, assault
ten days imprisonment in county Jail
The State VS.. John Thomas, cOf'd, lar
ceny. Sentenced three years to the Peni-
tiary.
The State VS.. Joseph Dudley, cold, lar
ceny. Verdict not yet rendered.
We have the most intelligent and active
grand jury that has been selected for this
county for years. They are hard at work
and seem to be getting quite a number of
indictments and presentments. They have
for their foreman Ii. +. Cloud Esq, and
through his influence with the instructions
of our most efficient Attorney General, j.
a. Dewey, Esq, they cannot but help
in carryingg out and enforcing the laws of
the State.
to-day in the case of the State VS.. John
Thomas, whom they sentenced to the pen
ltentiary for the term of three years. They
conducted themselves fully Gs well as a
white jury could have done, and gave sat
lstaction to every one who wants Justice.
They returned their verdict in a short time
after the charge Of His Honor, and did
so in as satisfactory and in as technical
style rs any lawyer at the bar could have
done.
Money matters are beginning to get bet
ter as the returns from sales for produce
shipped to Chattanooga come in.

FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
Answer TO Correspondents.
NO. NIX.

We had expected to give as our East
Tennessee article for this number of our
Weekly an article from prominent geo.
logical gentleman now in our State, but
through some misunderstanding it has not
come to hand in time, and we had no no.
tice Of the failure until too late to prepare
one. This is our excuse for not giving one
in regular course.
Instead, we have a few letters to answer
which we will do through our paper, as
the answer may be of interest to others than
those inquiring
n correspondent writes us as follows:
BLSeHAMToN, MY, May 4th, 1871.
McsSrS. Rude & RickS:
CENT EMEN-Myself and several ofmy friends
have decided to leave this place to settle in
some part South. Have not yet concluded
where. VIII you please inform me what is the
current rate of wages paid TO sawyers, carpen-
tiers and machinists in Knoxville or vicinity,
and is such labor in demand Also the rate of
wages paid to men of nc particular trade, who
are willing to work at anything.
inclose you twenty-five cents. Please send
me few copies of the Knoxville WEEKLY
CHRONICLE and oblige Yours truly
j. S. JONES, Box 1851.
In reply we have to say that the wages
paid to the class of mechanics referred to
will average from one and a half to three
dollars per day. Good carpenters can find
employment, we should think, almost any
where in East Tennessee. Just in Knox
vile most of the trades are pretty well re-
presented and labor is not lacking, but
good workmen can most always find en-
ployment.
If any of Mr.. Jones' friends are stone
masons or stone cutters or practical build
ers, they can find employment here on the
new Custom House and Post Office build
ing now being built by the Government.
This work will probably last year, and
steady employment for that time may rea-
sonably be expected. Letters addressed to
the superintendent, NJ. S. Wilds, will re-
ceive prompt answers and the exact status
of the work, wages, &C., be soon ascer-
tanned

IHE ALABAMA AND CHATTANOOGA
RAILRoAD.-The statement in our dis
patches from New York that the creditors
OF the A; &. c. r. R., have filed petition
to force them into involuntary bankruptcy,
was received at noon yesterday. We await
with much interest the arrival of the New
York papers with full particulars. In the
mean time it is proper to state that Mai. Il.
J. Garlic, Mr.. Stanton's purchasing agent
and confidential secretary, informed us
last night that Mr.. Stanton is confident
that ms soon as the road is completed he
can go to New York and settle this trou-
Bile, and make arrangements to pay off all
his Indebtedness. If the road is forced in
to bankruptcy it will be terrible blow to
Chattanooga, and we earnestly hope that
Mr.. Stanton may be able TO keep his
promises Chattanooga Times.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN THE
CENTRAL STATEs.-Nature is now LAYING
the foundations for trade next season. The
country has not yet recovered from recent
crop failures. The harvest of 1870 was n
ialr average, but 1T was not full, and the
deficiencies resulting from previous fail
ures were only partially made up. To put
the country squarely upon its feet we need,
at least, full yield this year. For this
farmers are now working hard, and the
promise for handsome results is favorable.
For fall wheat the weather has been about
all that could be desired and this crop new
er looked better than at this time. With
propitious weather in May and June there
Will be an overlooking wheat harvest.
The Spring has been unusually fayora-
ble for field work. The weather in March
and April was such that farmers were able
to prepare the ground and get in potatoes
and small grain, and now corn planting.
which is often delayed until late in Nav.
is nearly done. Corn was planted eariv
last year, and this saved the crop, which
was well forward before the drouth set i'm.
The progress this season is still better. I'm
10 Monday the weather was very dry, and
there was much complaint, but Tuesday a
steady, warm, soaking rain fell, which
made all things right, and this was follow
ed yesterday by q warm sun, with OCCASION
nj showers. This rain also stopped the
croaking about the hay crop. And now it
may be said that the foundations have been
well laid for large crops, and everything in
the farming line looks favorable The
prospects, indeed, could not be better

NJ. ID. Conway, in letter to the hide
pendent, says that the anomalous law
making marriage with deceased wife's
sister illegal in England is due to Henry
VIII, and who, in order to establish the
legitimacy of his daughter Elizabeth, by
Anne Boleyn, had his marriage with Cath
crime Of Arragon thus dccreed illegal. The
law was practicallya dead letter until 1885,
when it was rivived by a contest over the
legitimacy of the Duke of Beaufort, who
had married his sister-in-law. A law was
then actually passed which legalized this
particular marriage, but went on to de-
clare that such marriages, being cOnbayu
to the lars Of God, are illegal In other
words, the laws of God were suspended
in favor of am English Duke by order of
Parliament

A Boston paper tells story of an old
woman who is frequently seen in the
streets of that city, in poor, threadbare
and fantastic garb, carrying in her hands
and upon her person the greater part of
her little store OF worldly goods, such as
extra clothing, dishes, articles of food,
etc, that she may preserve them from
thieves, who, she fancies, will, In her alb
sence, break into her humble domicile
and steal. In her youth she was beauti-
tul, aud the daughter of wealthy parents,
ranking among the first in Boston. Her
means aud inclinatinns invited her to
deeds of charity, an i this work she pros
ecuted with such laborl,us and sef-sacri-
tslng fidelity IS to injure her health and
plant the seeds of mental maledy which
now shroud her lIfe From a variety of
causes she has rem wed herself from the
aid and control of her family and old
friends, and has resorted to mendicancy
for livelihood. She tells, with sad
and morbid levity, of begging food at
the kitchens of residences IN Mt. Vernon
street, where she and her family used to
visit as the equals of their wealthy in
mates.
