exact as the figures Of an almanac. before
the strike was determined upor 1t began
to be estimated through the p.~.tical les
sons taught by the International, that il
was perfectly possible to achieve an organ
ization SO perfect and SO universal, having
an understanding so thorough and an OBJ
ject 50 analogous, that details Of business
might be pro6tably applied, in all the lanes
and by-ways Of the world where men in
masses toll to earn living. To facilitate
this the telegraph was employed, and
through it the International has sent many
important strike dispatches from London to
France and Switzerland.
Amalgamations began to be formed by
Trades unions, with the international for
these purposes of convenience in 1868.
The Belgians who possess the faculty Of
successful combination to high degree,
have turned nearly ali their original trades
unions into genuine sections Of the Inter
national. The stubborn adhesion to old
sorms which chsracterises the working or
CARNATIONS Of Scotland and the north Of
England, caused the subject Of amalgama-
ton to be thoroughly weighed before lis
adoption by them and these agitations
have not subsided. Several of the unions
in the north OF England have however
led the example, and they will follow one
by one as the business facilities over the old
isolated system present themselves by test
and application.
Although this association is, generally
speaking, strictly business institution and
confines its sessions almost exclusively 10
business objects, yet it hasa wide theoreti.
cal field, and in this, it is, that it has sig
nalized itselfas by far the most remarkable,

in currency in '65, &c, 81 and '6S, say
gold averaged l5O, it would be equal to

bought $4,000 bond in ga, he would
have paid 81, 1856 in gold. Holding

1t would leave $2,6l5.66 in gold, which
be would still have in the $40, 900 bond.
For this, Congress, repudiating its own
contracts, voted him $4,000 in gold in
1868.
Is it reputation to say that Congress
shall do by the bondholders as it agreed to
IN Its original contract? To those who say,
let the Government do as Jay Cooke &
20. and the tondholders ordered it to do"
We say, the people never authorized any
such outrage upon themselves. If these
bords were intended to be paid in gold,
Why don't it say 50 ON their face? If green
backs or national bank notes will not re-
deem these bonds, why don't it read so on
their back or face2 Instead Of this, they
read, that they are legal tender, in pay
ment Of all debts, public and private. except
duties on imports, and that they will pay all
debts Of the Government except interest on
the public debt Does every greenback and
national bank note ir the land bear an in
famous lie on its back? The bondholder's
cry of reputation says so.
Read the face Of 5-2O bond and see for
y ueself what the contract was Read the
back Of five dollar national bank note,
and see for yourself what the Government
says they are legal tender for? Do this
once, and then ask yourself who wants to
repudiate, the bondholders, or those who
claim the Government shall keep its faith
with the people.-PsnnsylraniOn.

Is It Repudiatlon2 z

We proposed last week a compromise
measure in paying off the 500 bonds, say
ing, thoug h the ''plan might not reach the
absolute right in the case, might it not
be the best we could expect to realize I"
We have given the question good deal Of
thought, and though our last weeks pro-
position, if carried out, would be immeas-
urably better than our present system, We
have become convinced that the absolute
right" can be reached and must be reach
ed that nothing else will satisfy Justice
and protect the best interests of the country
consequently we say that the 5 30 bonds
should be paid in the legal money of the
United States, strictly in accordance with
the law which provided for their issues and
payment
Thousands Of people say these bonds
must be paid in gold, who know absolute
Y nothing of the matter, in fact can't tell
why they happen to have such an opinion
60 back to the acts of Congress OF '52 63,
and '64, which created these bonds, and
there is nothing there to warrant such an
opinion. Not word is said in these acts
about paying these bonds in any other way
than with the legal money Of the country.
The gold interest is there plainly set forth !;
but no gold for principal is mentioned.
j. Cooke & Co. took the contract to
sell these bonds, and advertised that they
were to be paid, principal and interest, in
gold. They bad 10 authority from Con-
gress for this statement, and no warrant for
4 in the law. The bonds were sold rapid
ly, and Jay Cooke & 60. realized some
millions by the operation.
In 1868 Congress was importuned to
pass an act explanatory Of the acts creating
these by banks and capitalists who held
the great majority Of these securities, say
ing that the intention Of Congress was that
these bonds should be paid in gold. AEer
severe contest, some of the best men in
Congress vigorously fighting the outrage
on the tax payers of the land, the requis-
lite legislation was got throught both
Houses.
II the acts made these bonds payable in
gold, why this legislation +? Could not the
dear people" understand ''the kings Eng
llsh q Must the common run Of Congress
Phraseology be interpreted? Never was a
baser piece Of work perpetrated on the
American people than this. Can there be
any doubt in the mind of a sensible man
that this reputation Of Congress, Of its own
contracts, was bought ? The Legislation put
millions IN the hands of the holders Of these
bonds, and took it from the pockets of the
people. We say that Congress shall be
made to repudiate this reputation.
These 500 bonds were sold for their face
value In greenbacks, and drew per cent.
gold interest, which, in 1864, with gold al
about 2.40. was ennal to II o-.5 rc- cont.

The Tennessee Association.

EDITORS KNOXVILLE CHRONICE: In
your issue of the 22d inst. there is a publi-
cation over the signature of the Clerk of
the Church at Beaver Dam, in reference to
the meeting of this body, which reflects
upon those whose names has called forth
this action. The notice was prepared by
DR.. Smith in accordance with instruc-
tions. AS far as the name of the Beaver
Dam Church is concerned, / presume it is
only q mistake. No one whose name is
appended to said notice would make such,
announcement without being authorized
to do so, except by mistake.
But this is by far the smallest part of
the matter; and as the object contempla-
ted in the notice to which the publication
refers is one of very great consequence to
the Baptists of this section, [ beg little
space to make few statements which the
aforesaid publication renders necessary.
The difficulty in the case is simply this:
The Tennessee Association regulates its
meetings by Saturday, and the General
Association by Sunday. The first Sdtur-
ddy in October this year is the Saturday
before the Second Sunday: consequently
both meetings occur on the same day.
This fact escaped attention until it was too
late to correct the matter at the meetings
of these bodies, and the only in which it
was possible TO effect the change was in
the manner contemplated in the notice
thus objected to.
The Beaver Dam Church declares that a
meeting held at any other time than that
fixed by the Association would be ''un-
constitutional Such declaration, COM
ing from such q source, cannot fail to have
its influence in deciding the course of
other churches who are yet to act upon
the question of change; and, unless the
contrary is shown, may Illustrate the whole
matter. 1t is for this reason that intrude
upon your space.
An Association of Baptists is very diff
ferent thing to what some persons suppose
it to be. The chief point of difference be-
tween such a body and an apparently SIM
liar organization among other denomina-
tions consist in the fact that an Associa-
ton possesses neither legislative nor judi
cial power. 1t is simply an advisory coun-
cH and really, instead of the churches be-
longing to the Association, the AssOcia-
ton belongs to the churches; that is, 1t is
only a sort of a general committee, formed
by the churches for certain purposes. Each
particular church is an Independent body,
and may be represented in the Association
or not, just as it may be decided by vote
of the members.
1t is true that the Association has the
right to fix its times of its meeting; but
even this could not be done if the arrange
ment was net satisfactory to the churches
of which it is composed. If, for any suffi-
cient reason, it shall be found necessary to
change the time of the meeting-as in the
present instaRce-the churches are perfect
ly competent to do so and vote by each
