AMERICAN SHAREHOLDERS ABRoAD.-1t is
stated that unless positively ordered by the
House of Representatives the Committee on
Foreign Relations of that body will not
report back the bill prepared by the State
Department making the holding of slaves by
Americans in foreign countries a INSIDE
mcanor, and Furnishing the offence with for
fixture of citizenship. The committee, it is
stated, if required to report, will not recon-
mend the passage of such an act by Congress.
The opponents of the measure assert that the
proposed law is unconstitutional, as it will
operate practically as bill of attainder.

1t is now said that the apprehended diff
Guilty with Spain is less threatening since
Senior ROBERTS considers his immediate recall
as improbable. We conjecture that the coun-
try is, to say the least, very indifferent about
tue matter, and would just as soon have war
as peace with Spain. The American Govern
ment considers itself a champion in the prize
ring, and would like little play in laying
out "light weight" OF two such as Spain.

About eleven years ago the people of Flr-
oinia. through their representatives assem-
blcd in convention, made a solemn pledge.
In the course of several months it became
necessary for Virginia to redeem that pledge
Her honor was at stake. But its redemption
would cost millions of dollars. mo mat
for y was the reply, "the honor OF Flr'
rinia must be preserved" But it Will cos!
fhe lives of thousands Of our bestand noblesl
men. It was no excuse; for again Inc
renIy in laundering tones was reverDerateo
from the Underwater to the Alleghanles, anu
from the Potomac to the Carolina ilnc'
mThe honor Of Virginia must be pre-
served.n For four years of dark and bloody
war. in the heat of conflict and the Loneliness
and suferings Of prison life, around the
broken family altar, and over the ashes OF
the desolated homestead, as beacon attrac
tive and fondly loved by the dying soldlerano
fine bcreayed widow, the honor OF Virginia
sbone forth with a brilliancy which has never
been SURPASSED. Even after our property had
been laid waste, thousands Of our nobleSl
sons had fallen, and the Confederate flag was
furled forever ut AppomattoX, the same con.
scious pride animatcdlthe Firg'nlan, ano
in the darkest hour Of his existence he couid
roze UPON that brilliant beacon and proudly
eyclainl: awe have lost all but our honor
Virginia has been overpowered, and her foes
now tlample her soil but thank God, she
has redeemed her pledge"
Another pledge was made by the people OF
Virginia, through her representatives, but
one year ago. She promised the creditors
of the State of Virginia, and by solemn
and binding contract agreed TO pay, the IN
tereSt upon certain bonds upon the 1st dry
of January, 1872. Were there no other
reason for the strict Observance OF that
contract it would he sufficient that hun.
drcds of thousands Of dollars of that debt
is due the widows aud orphans Of Virginia
But alas! the fair name of Virginia has
been furnished. Her own SONS have brought
upon her disgrace which is most keen'y felt
by every gallant son Of the Old mother OF
States and of statesmen. The pledge OF Viz
ginia has been broken, her promises are no
longer respected, and even the widows and
orphans of our own gallant dead can nc
longer repose i'll confidence upon the pledge
Of Virginia. Shenandoah Herald.

THE DRUMMER DECIsIoN.-The Society Of
Commercial Travellers publish Il circular
calling attention to a decision rendered by
the Supreme Court Of the United States De-
cember II, 1871, in the case of Ward Us. The
State of Maryland, which, according to the
circular, "makes null and void all license
laws of any State or city in the Union re-
lating to commercial travellers" This does
not give the scope of the decision fairly. The
Supreme Court has not decided that while
all other men may be subject to license laws
members of the Society of Commercial Tray
ellers, or, to use shorter style, drummers,
are to be exempt. 1t has simply been laid
down as law that no State or municipality
can impose any different tax, license fee, or
charge for the transaction of business there
in on the citizens of another State than it
imposes upon its own citizens in like case.
The reason of the decision is to be found in
that clause of the Constitution of the United
States (artice w., section ., paragraph y
which reads "The citizens of cach State
shall be entitled to all privileges and lmmu-
mites of citizens in the several States" Mi
ryland eXacted tax from citizens Of other
States other than that which she required
from her own citizens, and in this case the
Supreme Court could not but decide as it
did that all fees, licenses, charges OH business,
&C., required by any State must he the same
for the citizens of each of the United States.
Within this limit each State may assess such
tax as it may see tit, and it is perfectly COM
petent for any State to require license for
sales by sample or otherwise, always pro-
rided the resident is charged the same as the
nonresident for selling in the same way

Progress of the Revolution,

a new light dawned upon the world with the
introduction of Plantation Bitters twelve years
ago. Drastic purgatiOn went out-restoration
and renovation came in. The eyes of the peo-
pie were opened to The great fact that the way to
cure disease is TO strengthen and support its vic
tins, not to place them at its mercy by depriv-
ing them of the little strength they have. 1t
soon became evident that as means of infIsing
vitality into the feeble system, regulating the
secrctions. curing indigestion and reforming a
bilious habit of body, no medicinal preparation
then known was at all comparable to the new
restorative. Since then hundreds of attempts
have been made TO rival the Bittcrs. They have
all failed, and the grand revolution in medical
treatment, which was commenced in 1850, is
still in progress. Nothing can stop it, for it is
founded on the principle now universally ac
knOwledged, that physical vigor is the most for
midable antagonist of all human ailmonts, and
experience has shown that Plantation Bitters is
peerless invigorant, as we'll as the best posi-
BILE safeguard against epidemic diseases

Regarding FREE SCHOOLS as indispensa-

everybody will want the latest news. This

facilities for doing good correspondingly
increased. Let the work begin at once SO

East Tennessee.

Any enterprise having this end in view,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupIed before another
census shall he 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-
ton to this State and to the South.
