Boutwell,, Treasurer Of the United
States, occupies a position wherein he
and his master Grant may and perhaps
have made millions corruptly? What is
to prevent him, as he manages the gold
and stock market, from entering into
combinations to depress or advance
stocks? Who supervises him? No one.
He is chief, and does a he pleases. He
sells gold when he thinks proper and
witholds when he wants TO. He has one
hundred and twenty million dollars OF
it boarded in the vaults Of the govern
ment, and banking upon that
vast pile plays fast and loose
in such a way as to terrorize trade and
demoralizs the importing interest of the
country. The mere exercise Of this
power, obtained nom a Radical major
ity in Congress, would damn any adj
ministration Of the government however
pure otherwise. But when it is remem-
bered that Grant was mixed up with
Fisk and Gould and the cormorants of
Black Friday it is impossible TO shift or
remove the ideas that viii grow up by
putting this and that together.

HOW HEY ordered a lunch.

4 representa- i've of this paper was deeply
int rested in the actions of a party consist
inc Of half dozen ladies, who came into
Eldrid2e's res auraut the other day, for the
purpose of taking a lunch.
Each member Of the party read the bill
of fare through Slowly, and the they be-
gan All animSed discussion regarding the
merits # each item. Orc would COM
mend and another dissent, aud the discus
sion became as earnest as though the most
momenJous Of all SUI @cts-the shade OF a
ribbon, or whether 4 dress SD Ill be cat In
biased iouac or f1unced bases, were
be NO considered.
After haitian hour of exhaustive criticism
of the enables mentioned in the oil of
fare, one Of the ladies ventured to. give an
| order to the patient waiter. "Why, SURELY,
you are not going to have that, are you?
| inquired the other five ia establishment. L.
was too much, the reckless lady recalled
| her order.
! Then ensued another lengthy and lively
! debate, resulting in two of the party agree-

was announce !, to be met with storh of

a few moments the other four wheeled into

Tennessee Royalty.

The City Fathers Of Chattanooga are ev-
identity lineal descendants Of the noble fam
lilies Of Europe and know how TO address
'fhose in authority" with proper respect.
Witness the following communication adj
dressed by one of their number TO the
municipal authorities of the city:
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. ?, 1872
To the Honorable Board of Mayor and al
dermen, city of chattanooga:
Herewith tender to your honor's majesty
nv resignation as Alderman OF 9th ward,
city of Chattanooga.
Please accept the same, and obligs your
friend, L. ID. ALLEN
The careful reader viii observe that while
Alderman Allen is careful to address "the
Honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen
in q proper manner, he fully appreciates nls
own exalted position. The cheerful vein
of familiarity with their august m'Jestles
exhibited in the closing words, sand oolge
your friend" is refreshing to beholi, and
conclusiyelv demonstrates the fact that al
though perfectly willing to 'Render unto
Cesar, that which is CAESARS" he
feels that be is the equal and peer
of the most exalted among them
1t is pleasant to know that the desire OF
Alderman Aliens heart, as exp essed In the
foregoing royal communication, was graft
fed, and that he is an Alderman no longer,
notwithstanding the fact that his brother
Aldermen, Richmond AM Evans, voted
against the proposition to accept his protfer-
ed resignation.
A curious public will be anxious to know
Whist prompted Mr.. Allen, late Alderman,
to ask that the bond which connected him
with such royal company, be severed, and q
paper from that gentleman, explanatory OF
his motives would be read with the most 40
sorbipg interest. He must have had weigh
reasons for thus doing

asicn a Git,ln, Up stairs"

Did any body ever notice what an absurd
way people bsve ofgoing up stairs? 4 man
~ i'll walk along the street Ia q quiet, digui-
fed mauner until he reaches the, foot of
stair case which he wishes to ascend. H.
S antly be makes a dash and passes up as
thopeh he were af er doctor, endeavoring
to avoid creditor, or something of that
sort. He reaches the second floor nearly
out Of breath, but if he has another fight
Of stairs to climb, be dashes up at the same
furious rate OF speed, reaching his destins-
ton entirely out of breath, and
being under the necessity OF wait
irg a few seconds TO "blow" before
be eau make bis errand known. The time
thus occupied in regaining bis breath
would have been quite sufficient for him to
hsve gone up stairs ia manner becoming
a respectable citizen and the head of fam
lily. ,
Out on the street, the same individual
viii run across q crossing, Immediately in
front Of 8 rapidly driven team-baTely es
Gaming being run over and then stop on
tie opposite corner and spend more time
gazing after the passing vehicle, congratu-
ls.ing himself on his hairbreadth escape,
than would suffice for him TO make the
crossing half dozen times.
Truly the American citizen Is strange
Clmpound.

Up, and then Mrs. johnson, following the
well-knOwD custom Of those who sccUmu-
late pelf by the letting of apartments, de
manded of her renter pay for the use Of
the room. To this reasonable demand
Matte replied, in wins0me tones, that she
"didn't have no money den," but that she
would pay her in few days. The
time passed on, and 3 second call
for money Was made, but the
money was not forthcoming. When a third
demand was made, Matte concluded that
''she wouldn't stand no such foollsAness,"
and plainly told Mrs. johnson to go about
her business, at the same time calling her
various and sundTy pet names, which names
were of such character as to render them

The travel on Church street just now Is
somewhat interrupted by the work on a
sewer extending from Vine to High street.
This would be 8 favorable time for team
sters to adopt a lew programme which
would in some manner relieve this much
Travelled thoroughfare of It's crowded con-
ditiou. If the drivers of transfer wagons
which have freight for delivery on Broad
street or in that locality, would, upon re-
ceiving freight at the depot, drive through
Spruce or one Of tie streets west of that,
instead of coming down Church all the
way to Market; aud those going towards
the depot, take Church street as the route,
the collisions That occur almost every hour
in the day would be Ia manner prevent
ed. Sometimes there is such a clog be-
tween Cherry and Summer thst moving
one way or the other is almost impossible.
The grade on Church, between Summer
eud Market, is very Objectionable, being

and nearly as bad going down. Boss dray

The Chattanooga Times accepts the stu

"The appointment Of five negro police
men, although an innovation, does lot seem
to have made much disturbance. The
white men who were elected, even the
Democrats, manifest no disposition 10 re-
sign on that account, and if the negroes do
their duty there will be little digestion to
them. We hope they will not make them
selves needIessly oficious in arresting white
men, but will leave such eases to the white
policemen as far as possible. Legally, a
colored man is IS good as white man, and
under some circumstances better; but he
can gain nothing by unnecessary assertion
