Interesting Results of the Census.

There has been for some time in course
of preparation at the Census Office series
of maps, exhibiting some of the results of
of the United States and Territories show
ing the distribution of the German pOpu-
latiOn. In localities where there are less
than a certain per cent.-say five per cent.
of the pOpulation-the map is left uncol-
ored. In those places where the percent
age of the German is little higher, the
fact is indicated by a slight reddish tint or
cOlOring, and the cOloring increases in
strength with the increased proportion of
the Germans. There is OH themargin key
to the meaning of the different tints and
the percentage each indicates, so that
one sees at a glance where in the
country the Germans have mainly gather
ed, and where they are very few. The dis
tinctions are so minutely and thoroughly
made that even small German settlements
in the Western States and Territories are
exhausted. Maps showing the distribu-
ton of the colOred population Of the coun-
try in similar manner have been pre-
pared, and others are in contemplation.
Such, for example, as will show geOgraph-
ically the distribution of the wheat and
other crops. These maps will be brought
to the attention of Congress and plan pre-
sented to secure their publication. One of
these maps shows at glance the results of
days of study of long census tables, and en-
ables many persons to comprehend facts
which they never would or could learn
from examination of the printed tables of
the report. Wash. Cor. ". Y; Times.

Galena.

We learn, through the Knoxville
CHRONICLE, that rich lead mine has
been discovered in McMinn county, on
the lands of Ham. Pierce, and that the
people are good deal excited about it.
The excitement part, we suspect, is incOr-
rect, as we have been making those sort of
discoveries in McMinn almost daily for
the last forty years. We can point out a
dozen different localities showing indica-
tions of rich deposits of lead. On the north
bank of the gently winding Eastanelle," !"
on the lands ofour old and esteemed friend,
Alexander Cleague, galena crops out in
abundance, and even the surface dirt seems
to be thoroughly impregnated with parti-
cles, as any one can ascertain by lifting a
handful of it. This deposit is less than a
half mile from Athens, near the site of the
old Indian Forge, built and used by the
Cherokees many years ago, and is sup
posed to contain large percentage of sill
yer. We are confident it would yield IL
rich profit, and hope some one with the
necessary capital will soon engage insthe
business. Mr.. Cleague would, no doubt
either lease or sell the locality at reason
able price. We will add, that there is
close 10y an excellent water-power, suffi-
cient to turn good deal of machinery,
which ought to be utilized and put to
use.-AtheRS Post, FEB. 1st

under the control of its present President,
Rev. n. f. CObleigh, d. D., Wednesday,

twenty-five students in attendance. The

nently satisfactory to the friends and visi-
tors present. The examination continued
four days. The classes, respectively, stood
higher OH the graduated scale of scholar
ship than the corresponding classes at the
close of the session last June. The stu
dents gave evidence of studious applica-
cation to, and marked proficiency in their
studies, and that they had been under the
care of most faithful and competent in
structors.
The faculty. prescribed course of study,
government and general advantage of this
Institution will compare favorably with

CUTTING Down EXPENSES IN THE REV
ENUE DEPARTMENT.-Supe Emory
has received orders from the Treasury De-
partment to investigate the practicability
ofreducing the number of Assessors clerks
in the various districts in Tennessee, on
the ground that " the recent great reduc-
ton in taxation renders it absolutely essen
tial that the expense of assessing and col
lecting the revenue shall be reduced in q
corresponding ratio. 1t is believed that a
considerable saving to the Government
can be effected, without impairing the eff
cheney of the service, by cutting off the al
lowance of clerk hire in some districts and
reducing it in other districts"
The Investigation required will com
mence Immediately after the arrival of Su-
pervisor Emory from Washington, whith-

THE SEED BEARING ITS FRUITS.
The Sober Second Thought of the People.

The Sober Second Thought Of the People.
The following manly, courageous article
from the Greeneville Sentinel, a Democrat
ic paper of independent, fearless record,
concerning the special legislation secured
by the proprietors of the Nashville Demo
cratic papers is worthy of serious attention
and we commend it to our readers:
The Jonesboro' Herald and Tribune de-
nounced the action of the Legislature by
which parties defendants in suits, brought
previous to the enactment as well as after,
could change the venue to their own coun-
ty.
The Union and american defends, where
upon the Tribune puts in rejoinder that
well supports its cause.
AS to the act in question, we regard its
prime object; nay, its whole object; to be
american and the Banner to remove the
causes pending in Knox county against
them for heavy damages.
If we are not mistaken i'll this, then, II
is mean, contemplate, diSgrdccfUl, hunati-
uting to the proud people Of q great State
and ustCOrthy q body Of legislators.
In the suits brought by Col. Baxter
against the Nashville papers, we have no
feeling, and certainly our readers know
that Col. Baxter Is no faVOrlte OF ours, DuI
if he thought himself wronged he had a
right to look to the existing law, estimate
the probable cost of time and money, and
if he saw that the law afforded him a
remedy, and the probable expense of bring
ing and prosecuting the action aChcre the
LutO designated it might be brought, were
no more than he was willingtO assume, he
had right to bring his action, and to
bring it i'll Knox county, and the Legisla-
ture had no moral right, if at all n legal
one, to modify that right.
Surely we have fallen upon evil times
when such special legislation, for the in
terest of one individual to the disadvan-
tage of another, is resorted to. The act is
Il disgrace to our statute books, and this
we say after cool deliberation. And COM
ing from Legislature of our political faith
makes it more humiliating to us.
