THE Club" is all excitement because Gi'-
more talks of inviting Queen Victoria to be
present at the Jubilee Festival, and it is said
that Her Majesty would not refuse, without
a second thought, such an invitation from
the American nation. Going down to the
sea in steamships has but few terrors in Nav
and June, and Her Majesty has ample pre-
cedent for leaving her country on a long
visit. The Emperor of Russia travelled
long distance to see the Paris Exhibition !;
and on that memorable occasion, too, the
Sultan of Turkey demolished one of the
NEST ancient traditions of his native land
the tradition that the Sultan must never
quit his own dominions-and packed him.

is about to lake up her abode in Baden
Baden until the middle of April. The pro-
ject is not absolutely impossible, but unless
Gladstone forces it as political scheme,
we prOphesy Victoria will never cross the
Atlantic.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Knoxville
Chronicle, Radical, speaks of the Represen-
tative from Monroe, Mr.. Chambers, as "a
North Carolina carpet-bagger." It is true
Mr. Chambers is native of North Carolina,
but when he came to Tennessee he brought
with him all his worldly goods and came to
make it bis home, not like the Federal
carpet-bagger to prey upon the3land aud
then return to a State as cold in cline and
as he is in blood. With this latter class of
carpet baggers East TenI essee has long
been afflicted. Mr.. Chambers is a quiet,
unobtrusive member, energetic and faithful
in the discharge of his duties and COM
manding as much the esteem of his fellow
members as any other representative in the
House.

TIE Louisville CooYier-JOnpai, a few

it from our borders. Now there is none so

Gallatin Erdminer and a few other Ten

THE indignant Tennessee weeklies pay
in advertising for Louisville exchange
whose business it is daily to decry Nashville
energy, enterprise and commerce largely
more than the cash subscription price ofthe

Sometime ago, Ellis II. Elias bought at a

The Tariff.


siness
Mr.. Chandler moved to lay it OF the
table for the purpose of considering bills
reported from the Committee on Commerce
with an understanding that the tariff bill
should be taken up again at O'Clock to-
morrow.
John Sherman said as this day had been
assigned for the consideration of bills ofthe
Committee on Commerce, he would not
oppose the motion. Besides he was some
what at a loss TO know what to do about
the tariff bill. There seemed to be some
uncertainty throughout the country on the
effect of the vote on Friday to make tea
and coffee free, and if the Senate had delib-
erately made up is mind to repeal the duty
on tea and coffee, its best course will be to
pass bill for that purpose. If that was
done, then perhaps it might be advisable to
postpone further action on the tariff until
the House tariff bill should be received.
Mr.. Scott said it was important that the
tea and coffee question should be settled at
once, and asked Chandler to consent to lay
aside the bills of his committee informally,
so the Senate might amend the House bill
by fixing the time when it should go into
operation, and then pass it.
Mr.. Chandler said he preferred to go on
with the consideration of the bills from the
Committee of Commerce and several of
those bills we're passed, including one au-
thOrizing the construction of railroad
bridges across the Ohio river at or near
Evansville and Mount Vernon, Ind, and
another authorizing mail steamship
service between New Orleans and certain
Mexican ports.
The bill to facilitate commerce with
China, Japan and other countries of Asia
was taken up, but pending its considera-
ton the Senate went into executive session
and soon adjourned.

applause.
