the House of Representatives on Thurs
day, on the authority of the Commissioner
of Pensions, that one-fourth of the total
amount paid to thepensioners goes to per-
sons who have got their names on the rolls
by fraud, and who have no right to be
there at all. 1t appears that there is sys.

$4,000 600 for the benefit of swindlers. The

Powell's case will, it is understood, be

Any enterprise having this end in view +,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupled before another
census shall be taken. We feel fattered
with the prospect, and believe that our
humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for
homes in Tennessee, than of any other
journal published in the State. We will
never relax our efforts to induce immigra-

the present National Administration so
long as it conducts public affairs in the
manner which has character

we believe the principles of the Republic

we believe to be right, with whatever abil-

the right to think and act for

and commendable thing to carry Bible
in the breast pocket, as indeed it is.
But man in Florida, who was not base
slave enough to pay his bills, allowed
them to accumulate in his pocket until
there was quite thick bundle of them.
a few days ago rnffian tried to stab
him, and this bundle of unpaid bills in
teroepted the knife and saved his life.
