it is not anticipated, however, that very large
proportion of coin will be required for the re-

paid OH account of cash redemption, which
amount covers all the bonds presented for cash

GEORGIA POLITICS.


The hot haste of the Georgia Legislature
in providing for a special election to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Governor Bullock is the subject of Sc
we're comment in that State, even from the
more intelligent and prudent portion of
the Democratic party. The Augusta Con-
stitmionalisti is taking the lead in this dis
cussion. 1t says that the illegal points
raised by Gov. Conley in his veto mes
sage are neither fiimsy nor factions" as hot
headed politicians represent them to be,
and takes issue directly with the majority
in the Legislature, which has hurried this
matter through both houses with such pre-
cepitation. The Atlanta NcW Era de-
nounces the act as unconstitutional, and
revolutionary, as it certainly is.

Narrow Gauge From Clifton to Knoxville

EDITORS CHRNOICLE: 1t would per-
haps be matter of great interest to know
something about the country through
which the new rail road is to pass from
Clifton to Knoxville. 1t is pretty gener-
ally understood that the road will pass
through the great French Broad valley to
the south ofthe French Broad river. From
Clifton to Knoxville by the river the dis
lance is probably one hundred to one hun
dred and ten miles by the newly contem-
plated road line, only abouH fifty-One, be-
ing not quite half the distance by land
that it is by water. Big Pigeon and
French Broad run nearly parallel at Cliff
ton, / believe only about one mile apart,
coming together only a few miles below
the above named place. The French
Broad then winds its silvery circuit through
the great French Broad valley being one
of the finest and most productive vallies
in the world. This river is interspersed
with numerous islands both great and
small. When you leave Clifton along the
contemplated route the country is very
level almost to cambridge. 1 do not be-
lieve the great West affords better route
for constructing rail road. The truth is,
nature has virtually graded the road to
cambridge. From cambridge to Sewer
vile via Fair Garden, there is butlittle OBJ
struCtiOn in the way, and / unders tand
that from Sevierville to Knoxville there
will only be two cuts of any importance,
and they are not very long, 1t is estima
ted that 81, 900 to each will complete them.
This road taps four county sites, that of
Cooke, Jefferson, Sewer and Knox, be-
sides running almost on a parallel line
with the river. 1t will cross the following
important creeks, all of which have extern
sive valleys running up to the foot of Eng
fish mountain, flowing with milk and
honey: Indian Creek, Muddy Creek, Nc
Guier's Creek, Flat Creek, East, West and
Middle forks of Pigeon, coming together at
Sevierville, and Boyd's Creek, besides
many smaller ones.
The French Broad valley is skirted by
an ineXhaustible forest of timber, beyond
any description, consisting of oak, pine,
poplar, maple, walnut, cherry, and many
other varieties, which will be a fortune to
the owners when the road is completed.
Three cheers for the marrow gauge!

AN EYE TO ECONOMY.

Sam p. Twins, of the Athens Post, has
always been fast friend of public econ
omy. He is elated with the spirit display
ed by the present Legislature, as will be
seen by the following:
The following is the main feature of the act in
regard to the public printing adopted by the
present Legislature:
That an act passed May the 10th, 1866, in re-
gard to an advance of fifty per cent. in the fees
of the Public Printer be- and the same is hereby
repealed, and the prices for public printing
shall be thirty per cent. in addition to those al
lowed by law previous to the passage of the act
this act is intended to repeal.
This, if our recollection is not treacherous, is
about the only measure contemplating econo-
my and retrenchment in the public expendi-
lures that has passed into law since the Gen
eral Assembly met early in October; and lit
tie study and calculation leads us to believe that
as much as one dollar and half, or possibly
two dollars may be saved to the State by its
operation in a single year. We congratulate the
friends of economy and reform upon this en-
couraging and unexpected achievement, and
shall look for heavy appreciation of Tennes-
see securities as soon as the news is officially
proclaimed in Wall street. -

A Good Picture.

Weyesterday stepped into the studio of Mr.. r.
NJ. Dawson, the accomplished artist, and saw
there lfe-size painting in oil of little Ada eldest
daughter of Rev. j. B. Ford, pastor of the nj.
Z. Church in this place. Just before leaving for
this place, God took her little spirit to himself
leaving to her parents only her earthly tene-
ment. This painting is from a photograph
taken when she was about four years old, and
is remarkable for its correctness in every partic-
ular. They who knew little Ada, can readily
distinguish her features in this picture, and we
congratulate the parents upon their good for
cune in securing that which comes nearer reality
than any thing else, and will be something of a
sOlace in their future years. Mr. Dawson srep-
utation as an artist, with those who have pat
ronized him, is gaining ground all the time.
He deserves success.

1867, a species OF minority representa-
tion in every election Of Court of APP
peals and in 1872, by virtue Of the new
constitution of Illinois, the same kin d
of representation Is to come into play
there with the election Of members or
the lower house; but, as far more gem
eral in its operation than our New
York provision and as OF Immediate
efficiency, while the Illinois clause Is in
future, "the boroughs act" as it is call.
ed, of Pennsylvania, is really more i'm
portant than even the constitutions,
quodd hoe, Of the other States. The
reader Is Of course aware that minority
or proportional, or personal representa-
tion, as it is sometimes termed-the APP
pellations amounting to the same-is
the end, and that the cumulative vote,
list voting or the preferential vote, the
three cornered constituency vote &C.,
are merely differing means and in this
view it Is interesting to know that the
cumulative vote is the one which finds
favor in the Pennsylvania act. 1t is the
same form which received such approv-
al in the discussions in the late South
Carolina Taxpayers convention, and
has as its principle simply an entire
freedom of choice. If six members are
to be elected you can vote six votes for
one of the six, or one and half each
for four, or two each for three, or three
each for two, or one each for six. The
only thing in the nature of restriction
and this is put in for purposes of SIM
plicity in practice-is that your votes
must be equally divided. 1t is to be
added that the system just extended to
all the town elections of Pennsylvania
was first tried under special act OF
Marcn A, 1870, at Bloomsbury. and
worked so we'll there that it was after
wards extended to several other bor-
oughs, and, meeting approval in pro-
portion to the sphere of its operation, Is
now made general throughout the State.

Sparkling Soda.

SpuThihS SVua'
Some chemical scamp, who evidently
has q grudge against the soda fountains,
and despises the fluid that fizzes and
don't iuebriate, thus lets us into the
secret of the manufacture of this popu-
lar blood,cooling beverage. AS the
soda season is now in full blast it may
interest the reader to know what he or
she is drinking. Our chemist says:
EVERY popular fruit has its repre-
sentative syrup, the customer paying
his money aud taking his choice. The
idea that these syrups are the pure ex-
tract of the fruit is popular delusion.
Butyric ether is the base Of all fruit
syrups. Butyric ether is made some-
times of rancid butter, though old rot
ten cheese is generally preferred, the
loudest variety of Limberger affording
the best quality of ether. The cheese
is treated with sulphuric acid, and If
particularly nice and finely favored
ether is desired, a few chips of old
leather is added. Any sort of leather
will do, but old boots or shoes are pre-
ferred. Strawberry syrup is made Of
twelve parts of butyric ether and one
part of acetic ether, diluted with alco-
hol and water. A pint Of real straw
berry syrup added to the gallon of mix
ture, will improve the syrup, but it is
not absolutely necessary color with
cochineal.
. Raspberry syrup is made after the
same formula, except that pint of real
raspberry syrup is added, if the chem
ist has it. If not, he takes jar of his
strawberry syrup, colors little darker
and changes the label.
Sarsaparilla is the simplest and nast-
lest of the syrups. Molasses Is its base,
with little essence of sassafras and
wintergreen added. A few roots of
sarsaparilla "biled" " in the mixture
will do no harm and no good.
Vanilla syrup is made of tonqua
beans and fresh hay.
Pineapple syrup is made of butyriC
and formic ether. Formic ether was
formerly made by the action of sulphu'
:, ric acid on red ants, but latterly it is
. made of glycerine and soap.
Peach syrup is made of bitter almonds
, and acetic ether. Twenty drops of OF
of bitter almonds will kill a man.
y Nectar is formed by mixing various
q syrups and adding little Madeir'
II wine-the wine being compounded o
=. neutral spirit, logwood, sugar and ras
ins.
Lemon syrup is the purest that ca
be obtained. 1t is made of citric aci
IL and sugar, with perhaps few lemon
>. peels. The citric acid is made of lemons
For people who are not anxious whs
n they drink, the above are "perfectl
IL harmless " beverages.
