THE FoRrY.rHIRD CONGRESS.

The Press Oh Horace Maynard for Speaker.
The Washington special of the New
York Herald noting that Speaker Blaine
and Hon. Freeman Clarke, of New York,
would be candidates for Speaker, says:
Against Mr. Clarke the Southern Repub-
licans have determined to run Horace
Maynard, of Tennessee, who is one of the
oldest members of Congress on the Repub-
lican side, having been member cOnsecu-
lively since the Thirty-fourth Congress.
The Southern members allege that Speaker
Blaine does not recognize more than six or
eight favorites among the members OF
either party, and that their action is almost
entirely ignored by him. Efforts will be
made after the adjournment of the present
session to secure the united vote of all the
Republican members elect from the South
for Mr.. Maynard. Some strength is also
expected from the Border aud Northwest
ern States. Among the Democrats the
feeling thus far developed has been IN IA
vor of Fernando Wood, who will be an
earlier member of the next House than
any other representative, having been
elected as early as 1S41. Mr.. Blaine ex-
poets also to have his share of friends
among the New England representatives,
and should the programme thus early
mapped out be adhered to, the organization
of the next House bids fair to rival that
when Banks was chosen Speaker of the
Thirty-fourth Congress.
The Washington Special to the Tribune
and Cincinnati Commercial says:
The members from the South, who are
elected to the Forty-second Congress, are
industriOusly at work to make Horace
Maynard, of Tennessee, Speaker of the
House. They are very anxious TO form a
combination with the Pennsylvania dele
CATION, and the inducement held out is
that in case Maynard is elected, Judge
Kelly will be made Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, and the old mem
| bers from Pennsylvania, who are reflect
ed, will have other important chairman
ships. An effort is also being made to
capture the Indiana delegation, the consid-
Grafton being that General Coburn, of the
| indianapolis District, is to be made Cair-
man of the Appropriation Committee.
| Speaker Blaine, who will, of course, be a
candidate for reelection has thus far made
| no effort, nor has his friends, because they
are confident of his reelection without
much opposition.
The Philadelphia Press, editorially,
says: ..s
Mr.. Blaine, admirable presiding officer
| that he is, will not have a walk-over in
the race for the Speakership of the Forty
third Congress. Mr.. Wheeler, of New
York, is talked of as a candidate, and
Horace Maynard, the wheel-horse of the
Southern Republicans, will be made a
strong one. An effort is being made by
the Southern Representatives to have the
Pennsylvania and Indiana delegation
unite on him, which may be successful.
If it is, the struggle will be decided
against Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Maynard is a
Radical among Radicals, and a staunch
champion of the protective policy.

The Chattanooga PostmastershIu.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Several gentle
men are here from Chattanooga to see
what they can do about the late appoint
ment and confirmation of Sam. Bard, of
that place, as Postmaster. 1t seems that
Bard received letters from several officials
in the place strongly urging him for some
public position, with full unders' an ding
that he would not apply for any in Chat
tanooga, and declaration on his ar; that
he wanted to go out to the Territories. AS
soon as he reached Washington he used the
letters to obtain the appointment as Post
master, and then carried pretended mes
sage from Senator Brownlow to his fellow
Senators that he was not able to get out,
but wanted the nomination confirmed at
once.
1t is said the Senator proposes to enter a
motion for the Senate to reconsider the
nomination Wash. Cor. Chicago Inter

ABOUT CHURCHES.

The Cincinnati Gazette complies from
the late census returns, some interesting
figures about churches There are 60, 522
church buildings in the United States,
with sittings for II, 395 ,542. While the
total population of the country is a little
over IS, DOC, 600, only %, 100000 persons are
over ten years old. Dcducting the very
young, the very old, and the sick and in
firm, the existing accommodation seems
adequate. The total value of church prop
erty is S349, $40, $50. The Methodists are
the strongest denomination, having 81 ,337
churches. The Baptists are next, with
1892. The Presbyterians hold the third
place, having 7,071 churches. Fourth are
the Catholics, with $500 churches. The
Christians-both Disciples and the Chris
tian connections are included under this
name-have $500; the Lutherans 2,T6;
the Congregationalists 2,715; the Episco-
palians 2,601; the German Reformed /, 145;
the Friends 662; the Universalists 602; the
Unitarians SO; the Mormons III, and the
Jews 152. In the decade between 1850 and
1850 most of the denominations increased
more rapidly than during the succeeding
ten years. The Methodist5 gained fifty
per cent. in the latter; the Baptist increase
fell off from twenty-seven to fifteen per
cent; the Presbyterians from thirty-two
TO ten; the Catholics from one hundred and
nine to forty-nine; the Christians from one
hundred and thirty-six to thirty-six; the
Lutherans from seventy-three to thirty;
the Congregationalist from twenty to
twenty-five; the EpiscOpalians from forty
to twenty-one, and the German Reformed
from ninety-eight to sixty-nine per cent.
The Friends and Universalists each lost
nine per cent. during the last decade. The
Unitarians gained eight per cent. from 1850
to 1860, and seventeen per cent. from 1860
to 1870. During the former period the
Mormons increased fifty per cent, and
during the latter more than quintupled
their numbers. The Jews, who gained one
hundred and fourteen per cent. from 1850
to 1860, increased by only ninety-seven per
cent. from 1860 to 1870. In respect to the
aggregate value of church edifces, the
Methodists stand first, the Catholics Sec
ond, the Presbyterians third, the Baptists
fourth, the Episcopalians fifth, and tie
Congregationalist sixth. Though the num-
Der of churches standing in 1870 was not
double that of 1860, their value was four
times as great.

WE invite attention to the communica-
ton published elsewhere from Mr.. KING,
of Messy Creek, in reference to the iron
interests of Cooke county. Having been
a late Democratic candidate for the LeglS-
lature, we appreciate Mr.. Kings testimo,
NAL to the CHRONICLE. we nave not
only labored necessarily for over two
wears to difuse information concerning
East Tennessee, but we have spent
handsome sum of money each year in
doing so. We have spent the equivalent
of over thousand dollars per year adver-
Using East Tennessee abroad and we feel
repaid for it, for never before have we seen
such reason to hope that the near future
will bring a realization of the dreams 50
long entertained for East Tennessee. We
hear of good northern farmers quietly set
Ting down throughout our section and
each one that comes is certain to bring
more. We are pleased to have such men
as Mr.. King bear public testimony to the
work of the CHRONICLE and glad to see
our efforts so generally appreciated.

The business men of Knoxville are CIV
ing our city national reputation for the
zeal and success with which they are press
ing the trade of our growing city. Our
wholesale merchants particularly are car
rying their business into other states and
bringing to our streets the money of trad
ers who have heretofore gone East with
their goods, while they are SO successfully
prosecuting their own line of business
it is worth while for them to
consider what can be done to aid
the industrial interests of the city. A lit
tie capital judiciously applied might be
the means of giving labor to hundreds Ct
hands. We see mention of the successful
Inauguration of an enterprise in a neigh
boring city that must bring it many addi-
tional inhabitants-one Knoxville had the
chance of securing, but it was allowed to
pass. We merely mention this to show
how opportunities are lost. The commu-
nication in another column, though rather
tending to complain of our business men,
contains suggestions well worthy of serious
attention,

Fire on PAnIar afreet.

About halfpast two o'clock this morn
ing FIRE broke out in Payne IL CO..
cotton gin factory, Nos 1873 and 100 Pop
lar street. How the FIRE originated
seems to be beyond human comprehen
sion, as there was no FIRE left about the
place when the hands quit work there
yesterday evening, and no light there
sfterward, as nobody slept in the build
ing or had occasion to go back there
after night. Mr.. Payne says the en-
gineer sleeps in the rear Of the prem
Uses, and was first startled by the cry OF
fire, sounded by the policeman on that
beat. When the engineer had risen and
hastily slipped on some articles Of cloth
ing, he found that the fire had gotten
such start that it would be next to i'm
possible to stay the flames before the
building would be in great measure
destroyed. The alarm was quickly rung
and in a very short while the engines
were on the ground working actively,
but their efforts could not avail to save
the buildings which had been grit by the
destroying flames. At this time the fire
was so bright that it might be seen in all
portions of the city. Two frame build
ings belonging TO Mr.. Payne, and ad-
joining the factory, were in the clutches
of the fiery demon on the one side,
while his livid tongue was licking the
roof of the Novelty Iron Works on the
other. In the upper story Of this latter
building was aquantity Of iron and iron
implements which were heated to white
heat and burned their way through the
floors as they fell, while occasionally
there seemed to be stream Of
liquid fire or molten iron pouring
out Of the hot oven and licking up every
thing in its path with roar and crash.
The fremen bent their energies in the
direction Of the Novelty Works on the
one side and the frame house on the
other, and saved the latter from any
thing more than scorching, and the
former from total destruction. The gin
factory, together with the grounds, was
owned by Messrs. G. W. Payne & Co.,
and contained a number Of gins, among
which were about twenty or thirty be-
longing to planters in Che country.
There was also quantity of gin mate-
rial, disintegrated parts of gins, lumber,
etc. Mr.. Payne estimates his loss at
between s25, 900 and $50. OOO with only
about $4,000 insurance, held by II. A.
Littleton & Co. in the Franklin. The
Novelty Iron Works was owned by Mr.
Chas. Gusmani, and were not in opera
ton at the time. He is not able, he
says, as yet to estimate his loss, but
thinks it Will be somewhere in the neigh.
borhood Of $4,000 or $4,000. y He was
insured for $4,000 with Tomlinson & Co,
The total loss by the fire is put down at
between $35, 900 and 1000, with an in
surance of $4,000. Messrs. Payne & Co.
say they will be at work again in few
days-by Tuesday at furthest.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MONEY.
PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,
Mr.arnura rrArN rtnurA IL 1ArO

PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,
I3M MEMPHIS. TENN, August II. 1872.
The situation as regards money is a
close one, and as anticipated by the
modest " LEDGER some time since the
demand is so great now that merchants
are compelled to send their paper to the
street and stand shave Of from to q
per cent per month, the banks having
concluded land wisely tool to hoard
their resources for hard times" that may
be expected within the next sixty days,
when they will, as they have previously
done, assist the commercial portion of
lhe community in a substantial way.
Rates now are nominally l0@l2 per
csnt. per annum at the banks and
as quoted above on the street. Very
little exchange is making, and 81 1902
premium could be easily realized be-
tween banks. Counter rates are steady
at parole premium buying and selling
on Northern and Eastern points, and 4c
discount to par on New Orleans. Gold
is ll5i in New York, and is bought by
dealers at ll42@ll4i. Local invest
ments are quiet. There is hardly so
much excitement in Memphis and
Charleston stock, and the ring would
convey the impression that they have
purchased all they desire at present
prices. This is not the case, however,
as they are still :" in the ring and have
made purchases of 400 and $50 shares
since last evening at sac, and
will undoubtedly continue to pay
that price or even 349c, until they see
fit to swamp" the market by selling a
few hundred shares to lessen prices. The
rumored letters ordering suspension of
purchases, purported to have been re-
ceived yesterday, did frighten one or
two brokers to such an extent that they
sold out without realizing any profit, but
those who understood the ruse are hold
ing firmly at 35c. For the first time in
several weeks we are able to give a bona
fide sale Of Arkansas levee bonds, $4,000,
that was made by broker to land
entering Arkansian at pc. There was
also a dealers purchase of $4,000 FIVE
twenties, of G." at ISL. Scrips and
other stocks are quiet, and quoted as
follows:
