The statement that the North German
government has determined to appropr
ate u portion OF the French indemnify
fund TO the building OF u canal across the
peninsular OF Jutland is not only com
mercially important, but is possessed Of a
deep political Significance. In the not
improbable event of u war with any of the
powers of western Europe, the proposed
mode OF connection would give Germany
port of offence and defence, not only III
the Baltic but in the German Ocean.

TRUMBULL AND sCHURZ.

We have read with care and without
prejudice the speeches of Trumbull and
Schurz at New York. The former was
evidently excited, for his statements of
facts are exaggerated, his denunciatiOns bit
ter and violent, and his objections to the
Administration personal and in most in
stances pueriIe. 1t reads more like the
speech of Frank Blair than Trumbull, and
more like a Senator bidding for the Presi-
dency than a statesman. Senator Schurz
spoke dispassionately, though his personal
grievances We're uppermOst i'll all he said.
We do not see that they have added any
thing new to the opposition against
the Administration and will therefore not
be likely to effect any change in public
opinion.

Bright Prospects for Greene COunty-lrOn
Works ACtivG-Paint Rock Railroad.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Nothing unusual
has disturbed the even tenor of our ways.
The weather is fine, and everything seems
to have received a new animation from
April showers.
The iron interests of our county, III con-
sequence of the advance in iron, have been
encouraged The prOprietOrs of the New
York and East Tennessee furnace, which
has been out of blast for a number of years,
have ordered their works to go into 0p-
peration at once.
The Unaka furnace is again i'll blast,and
the prospects are that they Will have the
largest yield of any year since the WORKS
went into operation. Gen. Hayes, the
former Superintendent of the above fur
mace, Is in the county with the intention
Of putting up another furnace. Other par
ties here are negotiating the purchase OF
another site for furnace
With these furnaces and those COntem-
plated, Greene county will III fact be the
iron county of Tennssee.
The Narrow Gauge to Paint Rock Is a
liked fact. Capt. VanderhOoff, the Engl-
neer, has completed the preliminary sur
Veys OF two routes, and the board OF dlrec-
tors at their meeting to-day decided to put
eight miles, including the bridge across
the Nolachucky river, under contract.
The completion of this road, when the
North and South Carolina system of rail-
roads are completed to Wolf Creek, will be
of immense value to Greene county. The
markets OF Augusta, Columbia and
Charleston will almost be at our doors

WHAT A DEMOCRAT THINKS OF IT.

Hon. 2. Van Trump, member OF Con-
gress from Ohio, is one of the leading hleA
of the Democratic party. He has reeently
written long letter in which he protests
against an unconditional fusion - with
" dissatisfied Republicans apolicy which
he believes is intended to " destroy for the
future the great Democratic organization
of tbe country" He asks the question:
I'LL scnse of manhood and pride of organ

lion of his opposition to the reelection of Gem

Jiriary Committee in the Senate, has hereto

and unconstitutional policy of the Republican
party than any other man in it ~
He views Senator Schurz from DEM
ocratic standpoint and thinks he is a rep
re-entative man only 50 far as a common

The Morse Memorial Exercises.

The Morse Memorial Exercises
WASHINGTON, April l4-The Democratic
members of Congress are consulting among
themselves regarding their political course in
view of the Cincinnati Convention. Some of
them freely express their willingness to vote for
the nominee of that Convention, provided the
demonstration there shall give promise of sue
cess, and the platform be of such character
that they can endorse it, They say they only
want the enunciation of few general prinCi-
piles, Some of the anti-AdminiStratiOn Repub-
liCans have been privately exchanging views
with them in order to arrange a basis of coali-
ton. 1t is generally agreed, however, by the
Democrats that their course will be governed
by the National Democratic Convention, wheth-
er it shall agree to support the Cincinnati nomi-
nee, or make a nomination of its own.
1t is thought that the President will this week
nominate Comptroller of the Currency, to
supply the present vacancy.
The preparation for the memorial services in
honor of the late Professor Morse are Complet-
ed. The speakers are Senator Patterson and
Representatives Fernando Wood Garfield, Cox,
VOORHEES, and Brigs. Rev. DR.. Adams, of N ew
York, pastor of the church which the Professor
attended in that city, will open with prayer,
and DR.. Wheeler the pastor of the church
which Morse attended in Poughkcepsie, will
pronounce the benediction. The President and
his Cabinet, Vice President, Judges of Courts
and other prominent officials have been invited.
Governors of States who cannot be present in
person, have designated proxies to act as Vice
Presidents Of the meeting. The Secretary of
the Navy has complied with the application for
music by the marine band, and there will be
vocal music by the Choral Society of Wash
ington. Numerous letters and kilograms have
been received, some of them stating that SINH
lar meetings will be held on Tuesday evening
in several cities
