The New York Tribune and all its
echoes have been charging that the
United States Marshal has, within few
weeks, taken over 100000 to North
carolina, to use as a corruption fund
The fact is that but s76,367 has been
taken there this year, and every dollar
drawn has been certified by Judge
Brooks, United States Judge, whose
official conduct has not been question
ed. The money has all been used to
try the Ku-Klux, transport and keep
witnesses, and pay exigeucies of trying
these scoundrels.

STAND ALooF,-General Fred Hec,

porter of the Liberal movement until
the farce of nominating Greeley was
enacted at Cincinnati, has written a
letter to the Anaeiger des Westeas, in
which he declines to yield his convic-
tons to the political comedians who
bore prominent parts in that perfor-
nance, and advises all true reformers
to stand aloof from the contest.

Boston and its Calamity.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Your remarks
concerning the citizens of Boston In this
mornings issue deserve attention. All
honor to them for their generous conduct
toward the suffering people of East Ten
nessee during the late war! After the elO-
quent speech of the Hon. \. G. Taylor, in
Faneuil Hall, the Hon. Edward Everett
received day after day contributions from
individuals for the relief of East Tennes-
see, until the sum reached at least 500. 900,
being about two-thirds of the whole
amount from all quarters given for that
object. Humane, liberal Boston is enti-
tied to place forever green in the mem
Ory of East Tennesseeans and their poster
ity. Would that some suitable return of
its generosity might now be made. Mere
words would poorly express the gratitude
for it, which is due. Still, something
could be done. A large part of the money
contributed for our relief came from per-
sons of small means.
1t is understood that a considerable
number of poor working women have
been thrown out of employment by the
late terrible fire in Boston. No doubt they
will need all the help which can now be
afforded them. And there would be a real
as well as poetic justice in the return of
some substantial aid, from this region of
country; in which return, every citizen,
however SHldll Ills pecunlaTy means, VINO
is disposed to give, shall unite.
Who is there, could more fifty inau-
gurate movement to that end, than the
Rev. n. G. Taylor, whose graphic picture
of the desolate and bleeding condition Of
East Tennessee, and thrilling appeal for
help, ELECTED the friendly sympathies and
active interposition of Boston in 1864? a
few eloquent words from him, uttered here
and there throughout the region which he
was so happily instrumental in relieving
and blessing eight years ago, could not fail
of good results. Let committees be Or
ganized at different points to receive sub
scriptions for the benefit of suffering work.

"THE RECORD
Prospectus.

The want of religious paper. which should possess
certain we'll defined characteristics has long been felt
in East Tennessee. Such paper, it seen should
be cheap that every family might take it yet so
high toned fresh and vigorous to be highly esteemed
local in character to interfere with of our
able religious weekies published abroad; and ex
clusively religious to compete with of our
gressive secular papers.
1t is proposed to meet this want by the publication at
Knoxville. Tennessee of a paper callel THE RECORD,
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices,
shall sincerely aim develop the religious interests of
East Tennessee. The of all the churches and
gious bodies in our section will be thankfully accept
ed. and will be given es fully and mpartially pos
sible. @ T. - go
The great aim will be to acquaint -th
one another and place people in practical sympa-
thy with the great religious movements and the earn
est Christian thought of the age. Politics will be en-
tirey excluded. Nothing unchartable partisan or
controversial will be admitted but only that which it
is hoped may promote the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. in whose name this enterprise is begun.
We desire to place the paper in every family in East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the cOopera
ton of every Christian worker. That cheapness and
excellence may be combined it will beissued monthly
but on good paper and in the best STYLE and will

homes efforts to overthrow Messrs. Wilson,

We submit the following extracts from the
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
Of the President for tho year ending in Sep
tember.
The litigation with the Government has been
concluded satisfactorily and the second mort
gage bonds of the Company for $500 pay
able in ten and fifteen years, bearing four per
cent. given to satisfy such liabilities. %.
Compensation for mail service had been in
creased from $50, 600 to $58, 600 per annum.
During the year the Rogersville and Jetfer-
Gap, and Charleston Railroad have been fore.
closed and sold under the lien held by the State
The former road. about sixteen miles in length,
bought by the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company for SIS, 548. 81, and
the latter, 50 miles of which are completed, was
purchased at the instance of your Board of Di-
rectors by G. NJ. McGhee and r. T.. Wilson for
$214, 1858. This road is to be held by the pur-
chasers till such time as amy be
found practicable to unite it with
the road leading from Salisbury, n; G., via
Asheville, to its terminus, through which means,
together with other steps that have been taken,
which are stated herein, it is hoped q connec-
ton with the n. and S. Carolina system Of
railroads may be secured to this company.
Your Board, through its President, has be-
come party to two contracts, the first under
date of May 10th, between r. T. Wilson and G.
NJ. McGhee as one party, your company as an
other party and ono Rufus B. McAdden as an
other party. The other contract bears date of
Nov 7th 1872 and is made with Hiram Sebley
by r. T. Wilson. In these contracts your COM
pany has advanced 500, 600, which was used to
purchase from the aforesaid McAdden his title
to the Western North Carolina Railroad.
During the past year there have been retired
on account of sinking fund to the State of Ten
nessee, $24, 500 of the Company's bonds, and
1888 0O0 per cent. second mortgage bonds
sold. The settlement with the Government was
not perfected at the date the exhibit of the
Treasurer was prepared, and was not embraced
in it. 1t will increase the bonded debt of the
Company $4,000, bearing four per cent. in
terest. This item, as due from the ?. o. Dept,
will be reduced $50, 900, this amount being re-
tained by the Government as earned previous
to date Of settlement. The claims shown to be
in New York for collection are due the Compa-
ny from the Alabama and Chattanooga Road
and the East Tennessee Zinc Company, and re-
garded as of but little value.

of that city, i'll raising a fund for the relief
of the suffering people of Savannah, and
his death did not interrupt the work of
contribution for that object. w.
