AN IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.

The following circular, which explains
itself, was sent on the 9th inst by the
state auditor to the various county collec-
tors. 1t isa matter of general interest;
DEAR SIR: The interest on bonds (of
counties, townships, cities and towns
which have been registered in this Office
in pursuance of law, being payable to the
state treasurer, it is important that that
officer should be provided with funds TO
pay such interest, rs the came becomes
due.
In many cases, the crupons become due
before the time collectors are required by
law to pay over the tax levied therefor
dune LIST, In counties under 4. O., and
June 10Th, In other counties) and in such
cases, IL is necessary to pay over the tax
levied for pay ment Of interest on bonds OF
the country, or Of the several localities
therein, rs the case may be, SO that the
state treasurer can pay the interest ms 1t
falls due. In some cases back interest Is
due which the state treasurer should be
provided with funds to pay, ut as early n
day us practicable. There can be no doubt
but that prompt payment of interest for
any particular locality will place the public
credit of such locality IN good repute,
which earnestly desire may be the re-
suit to each locality in the state, having
bonds registered in this office, and hope
you will aid in producing such result
by placing the necessary funds in the state
treasury, as soon as possible.
l desire to call your particular attention
TO the first section of the act of April l6,
1862" To fund and provide tor paying
the railroad debts of counties, townships,
cities and towns'-which requires the col
iectors to pay into the state treasury all
the taxes collected for any purpose what
ever, on the assessment on the railroad or
railroads for whose aid the said debt was
incurred" &.
A few Of the collectors for 1870 failed
to note this requirement Of law, and paid
over all taxes, us usual, in settlement with
the several localities; and such solicitors
were greatly troubled and delayed in get
ting back from the several localities the
taxes on railroads aside" to pay into
state treasury. Your notice is called 10
the law now, that the same difficulty may
not occur this year. Yours truly,
c. Z. LIpIScoTT, Auditor, P. A.

We have said that the New York Trj-
buj1e is now the most despicable sheet in
America. Here is another proof. In q
letter from its correspondent is this para
graph:
II was in Paris when Miss Nellie Grant
was making her purchases, and l cannot
doubt, from what / heard there, that the
jewels, silks, satins, velvets, and costly la
ces, which go to make up her wardrobe,
will consume her fathers salary as Presi-
dent for one year"
Will the Jerry Sneak who logged Miss
Grants footsteps and questioned the dry
goods clerks as to her purchases, or the
other Jerry Sneak who published the let
ter with the hope it would in some way
help Greeley's election, inform us what
Miss Grants shopping has to do with the
Presidential election? In the campaign
of "Liberal' slanderous personalities are
not the children of the candidates to be
spared? Had the Republican papers han
died the name of Miss Ida Greeley with
the freedom and coarseness with which
the Greeley papers have used that of Miss
Nellie Grant, what a howl would have
gonei up about indecent journalism !''-

NEW MARKET, Tenn, Sept. Is, 1872
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The monotony of our
quiet village was broken again on last night by
the first "corn-husking" of the season. Mr.
q. W. Dice, the clever assistant depot agent of
our place, called on quite number of our town
citizens who repaired to his barn-lot and found
it literally covered with corn, cut from the field
with stalk corn &c The kind neighbors 'let
i'm on it and the result was against 10 o'clock
at night the corn all relieved of the stalk and
fresh and ready for the crib.
To-day We have several emigrants awaiting
the arrival of the train going TO seek homes in
the far West These occurrences are too FREE
quent too many of our good citizens are leaV-
ing this and other counties of East Tennessee.
What is the remedy Large land-holders must
divide their lands into smaller tracts sell off and
furnish homes for the landless and all cultivate
less and cultivate we'll.
We learn that our place is soon to be visited
by q gentleman Of capital who contemplates es-
tablishing printing press and engaging in the
newspaper enterprise. If this is so ali you lit

The Geneva Arbitration.

The following concluding clauses of the
Geneva treaty will be found to contain the
substance of the decision arrived at by
that tribunals
Whereas, in accordance with the spirit
and letter of the treaty of Washington, it
is preferable to adopt as the form of adju-
dication q sum in gross, rather than to re-
fer the subject of compensation for further
discussion and deliberation to board of
assessors provided by article 10 of the
treaty. the tribunal, using the authority
conferred by article of the treaty, by a
majority of four voices, awards to the
United States the sum of fifteen millions
five hundred thousand dollars in gold as
the indemnity to be paid by Great Britain
all the claims referred to.
The considerations of the tribunal were
in conformity to the provisions contained
in article of the treaty, and in accord
ance with the terms of article IL of the
treaty. The tribunal declares that all the
claims referred to are hereby fully, per
fectly and finally settled; and it further
more declares that each and every one of
said claims, whether the same may or may
not have been presented to the notice or
laid before the tribunal, shall henceforth
be considered and treated as settled and
barred.
In testimony whereof, the present de-
cision and award have been made in du-
plicate and signed by the arbitrators, who
have given assent thereto, the whole being
in exact conformity with the provisions of
the treaty of Washington.

Coal Oil Establishment and Cigar
Manufactory Destroyed.
At II o'clock this forenoon coal oil
lamp exploded in the establishment of
j. W. Watering, stove, lamp and coal
oil merchant, at 1913 Main, near the cor
ner of Washington street, The flames
spread throughout the building, and in
few seconds enveloped Mr.. Watering s
establishment, and the adjoining store,
used as cigar mandatory by Charles
Loeffell, in flames. The FIRE department,
headed by Chief Anderson, and the po-
lice force, led by Chief Athey, were on
the ground in a few minutes. Every
thing was done to save the building and
property, but the inhammable material
stored in the building precluded such a
result a.
In half an hour the floors fell in and
the fire was suppressed by our efficient
firemen, who surrounded the building
and dsluged it with water. Mayor John
son was on the ground aiding the police
and fire brigades in saving and protect
ing property. But little was saved from
Mr.. Waltering's store. From Loeffelrs
cigar mandatory few boxes of cigars
were saved by the iremen who entered
the premises.
ana q Loss AND ISsuRANCE.u Tfg ~
Mr.. Watering estimates his loss at
from $4,000 to $4,000, upon which he had
no insurance. Messrs. Urquhart q Co.,
stove dealers, had 5000 insurance on
their stock. Charles Loeffell, cigar man.
ufacturer, estimates his loss at $1,000,
upon which he had an insurance of$l6OO
in the London Globe, II. I, Tomlinson's
agency. Mr.. Loefell was insured on his
stock of leaf tobacco, cigars and furni-
ture. The building is q two-story brick,
the title to which, we are informed, is in
litigation between Mr.. GreenlsE and
Mr.. Watson, of this city. liIt was valued
at about $4,000, and was fully covered
by insurance. The adjoining store in
the Webster block, occupied by A. E.
FARMLAND, was slightly damaged in
front by the flames. The loss is but
light, and is fally covered by insurance.

AS will be seen in our advertising col
umn, the committee appointed alta grand
mass meeting held last night by the citi,
zens of Memphis at the hall of the Mem
phis club, are busily engaged in making
preparations for the celebration of Mardi-
Gras in this city. hlaA rsir
This is a new feature among our cit
liens, and when we consider the great
benefits derived from the Mardi- Gras
celebrations at New Orleans and other
cities, we deem it our duty to call the
attention Of our merchants, bankers,
hotel-keepers, bar-rooms, and every
branch Of business to this praiseworthy
enterprise.
% the 18th day of February (Mardi-
Gras day. thousands Of people will visit
our city from all the neighboring towns
and villages; in fact, since we learn that
the railroad companies leading to this
city, and local packet companies, have
agreed to take passengers at half fare,
we have no doubt that the city will be
thronged with people, and the benefits
thus derived need no explanation.
The executive committee have APP
pointed committee Of six to obtain
subscriptions from the citizens of this
city, and we trust that whenever you are
called upon you will respond literally.
During the day mssqusraders will pa
rade the streets at will, and at shutdown
they will form into a grand procession;
the festivities to conclude with grand
balls and tableaux, for which the Green
law Opera House, Memphis Thester,
Memphis Club, Cochran and Assembly
halls have been secured. All the or
ganized bodies of Memphis have signi-
fed their intention to participate, and
the various clubs have abandoned their
usual masquerades Of the season to add
eclat to this occasion, to make it a grand
affair and add to the prosperity and re-
nown of Memphis.
