Commitment to a Knoxrilllan.

Captain Joseph Jaques, of Knoxville,
Vice President and superintendent of the
East Tennessee and Virginia road, is in
the city, and will tomorrow, the 1st of
July, take charge Of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, as its General Man.
ager, clothed with absolute power by the
Southern Railway Security Company,
with its exclusive management. Captain
Jaques was formerly from Abingdon, Vir-
ginia, and grew up to manhood in that VIII
lage with our fellow-townsman, General
w. Y. G. Humes. For many years Cap
tain Jaques has been an active railroad
business man, commencing in the hum
blest position and working up to the high
est, by virtue of sterling integrity of char
acter, supported by q sound mind in a
sound body. He could ask no higher
recognition of his merits and talents than
disappointment to the position he will en-
ter upon to morrow. The responsibilities
and duties of his new position are great,
and many of them burdensome. He will
find the merchants of Memphis ready to
give him generous support, and deal can
didly with him in their business relations.
Captain Jaques finds ready for his manage
splendid railroad, capable of doing
an immense business, but actually doing
little. His first labor, after the prelimin
aries of reorganization shall have been
disposed of to some extent, will be to Sc
cure, if possible, a through line from
Memphis to Norfolk, and by this through
line increase the earnings of the road, and
extend the business communications of
Memphis. If this can be done, and we
hope that it will be done, the results will
be so satisfactory to stockholders and mer-
chants, that the new system of railroad
inaugurated by the Southern
Security Company, under competent bust
ness men, will be growing benefit to the
Southwest.-Men12ohiS AUaLanche, June 80.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-Wheat still
continues very dull; and even at lower
quotations there is very little inquiry from
local millers, who are the only buyers.
According to latest advices from Milwau-
kee and Chicago, spring wheat is selling at
SIPS and 81. 27i per bushel, respectively,
and here it might be bought at S1.5S per
bushel of sixty pounds f. o. b. We quote
red winter at S1.S5 and 100 per bushel of
sixty pounds f. o. b. by the cargo.

Mr.. B. f. Wade says that ''when great
political party has become so consciously
depraved that they feel there is no hope of
reform, suicide may perhaps in such case
be virtue, and such seems to be the condi-
ton of the Democratic party at this time.
By adopting Mr.. Greeley as their standard
bearer they deliberately admit, if they are
honest, that the poorest, weakest, most
vacillating and uncertain Republican is an
improvements on anything to be fonnd in
their own party.

" Two constitutional amendments are
now pending in Congress, which are de-
signed to correct the manner in which the
people shall choose the President and Vice
President. One provides for direct cleo
ton by the people on the same day that the
members of the House Of Representatives
are chosen, and under the rules and regu-
lations made for the respective States the
President and Vice President to be chosen
for term of six years and TO be ineligible
for reelection, The other provides for q
direct vote by the people. Both bills re-
tain the same provisions for choice OF
Presidents by the House, and of Vice Pres
idents by the Senate, as is now contained
10 the constitution, in case no candidate re-
ceives a majority of the popular vote.---
That there are grave defects In our present
system is conceded on all sides, aud the
first section Of the first proposed amend
ment which provides for popular election,
will undoubtedly commend itself to the
people. The other section. extending the
presidential term to six years, will not be
so generally approved, though much eau be
said in Its favor. In this connection It may
be stated that Gen. Banks has introduced q
bill doubling thepresent salary Of tie Pres.
ident.

" During the war, some cities we're
oppressed by heavy expenses in defending
themselves against the rebels and we're sub
ject to heavy assessments when in the pow.
er Of the rebel army. An effort will be
made the present session Of Congress to Sc
cure reimbursement from the General Gov
eminent. Three Of these cases in point
concern the cities of lIagcrstown aud Fred
erick, Maryland, aud York, Pennsy lyania.
These cities paid in the aggregate a ran
som Of S630,000 TO the Confederate army
for their protection during the rebel incur
sion into those States, and it is held that
these are debts which the Government is
bound in equity and justice to pay. 1t is
claimed that these cases belong to that same
class, so far as principle is concerned, which
the Government has already recognized the
justice Of, such as the reimbursing Of States
on account of moneys expended in organ
izing and cqupping troops. There is this
difference, however the one went to
strengthen the rebel army, while the other
contributed to the Uuon forces. II is quite
probable that the money contributed by
Hagerstown aud Frederick was freely given
to the rebel cause. At least the claim is
one which should not be allowed without
the closest scrutiny, since its payment may
be precedent for footing up losses sus-
tanned through rebel demands.

which is jury consisting Of the twelve

prominent citizens, until only that number

this will be the FIRST instance in the United

that manner, although such juries are not

1-- The Hon. William A. Howard, of
Grand Rapids, Mich, native Vermonter,
recently delivered lecture to his fellow
citizens, in which he gave glowing ac-
count Of the timber region around Puget
Sound. Among other things, be said he
had seen pine trees there each of which
would make more lumber than the aver
age Of five acres Of timber land in Michi-
gan would produce. The average yield Of
five acres of pine lumber land in Michigan,
he said, is less than 10000 feet; but there
are trees in the Puget Sound region which
will yield $4,000 feet of lumber each, with
out working up to within eighty feet of the
small end. lie had seen trees ten feet
through at the butt, sound as they could be,
straight as au arrow, and moro than $50
feet high. The wood Of these gigantic
trees is coarse, and is not good for fine
work but in the same region are very
large white codars, which grow in abun.
dance, and make excellent finishing lumber.
Fir and pine trees, however, are the most
common in the region described, there be-
ing three kinds Of the latter, white, yellow,
and red, the red predominating This has

" The monument to the memory Of
Thaddeus Stevens has been completed. 1t
is located in private cemetery, the reason
for which is explained on one side Of it in
inerasble carving. The explanation reads
as follows; " repose in this quiet and Sc
cluded spot not from any natural preference
for solitude; but finding other cemeteries
limited as to race by charter rules, have
chosen this that | might illustrate 10 my
death the principles which l advocated
through long life; equality of man before
his Creator" The monument is not more
than eight feet high, but is constructed Of
granite and very massive in appearance
Its style is old Roman, and on the north
and south sides are large panels of Italian
marble, which contain simply the dates and
places Of birth and death, and the inscrip-
ton quoted above. The base is surmounted
with richly moulded granite cap weighing
five tons. There is probably no other like
it; and it is said that, so far as material
can initiate immaterial things, it is well
suited to the character of the man it com.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel Fire.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE or A cftAMnERMAID.
Maria Flynn, a chambermaid, whose
room was in the servants attic, makes the
following statement:
was sitting in my room sewing on
dress which one of the girls was to wear to
ball on the following night. One other
girl was sitting with me, and four were
asleep on the beds in the room. l went to
the door for the purpose Of passing into the
hall or below stairs to get drink Of wa
ter. On opening the door smoke came in
to the room in great volumes. | cried to
the girls The house is on fro % Those
who had been asleep awoko in fright and
rushed with me toward the long stairway
leading to the floors below This we found
impossible, smoke and fire pouring up from
below in frightful manner. We then ran
back into our room and all six Of US worked
desperately at the iron screen, knowing that
through the window we could escape to the
roof, and from that get easily to other por-
tions Of the building. Though We pushed
and tugged with all our might, We could
make no impression on the screen whatever.
Meanwhile the smoke was pouring into the
room and the fire seemed TO be coming rap
idly toward us. While we were working
some of the girls from other rooms called
to us to follow them and we could get out.
We did so, and cropping our way through
the binding and suffocating smoke we f.
nally got into room whose window was
free. Through this twelve Of us got out on
TO the roof.
There the fremen kept US from walking
off in our terror and confusion, and from be-
ing dashed to pieces bn the pavements below,
and piloted us safely to other portions Of
the house so that we got down stairs all
right. When we were on the roof and be
fore when we were struggling with the wire
screen in our room, we heard the poor wo-
men who were burned batiering against the
screens TO their windows, and shriekine,
moaning, and praying in the most ptoous
and heartrending manner. The fire must
have been burning some time before we
discovered it, We had no intimaton what
ever Of its existence and if | had not
opened the door we would surely have been
suifocated or burned as the women in the
other rooms were. If we had waited few
moments longer we could not have made
our escape through the open window that
we did, because the smoke was becoming
very dense and our eyes were blinded and
our mouth choked with it. Some girls ran
into the room where so many lost their
lives, knowing that somewhere there was q
skylight. This was found to be boltcd aud
barred down. | lost everything that l had
and 50 did all the other girls who escaped
with me. Except through the windows
nearly all Of which were SO strongly Sc
cured, there was no possible escape for Us.
