either would yield handsome profit. If
this article should meet the eve of any
capitalist in Ohio who NAV be anxious to
change his location, let me advise him to
come at once to Knoxville and start either
q woolen or cotton factory.
This communication has been extended
beyond its proper limits, but / cannot
close without a1luding to our scholastic
and social advantages. We have no lack
of schools, free and private. The East
Tennessee University is solid and pro-
gressive institution, and is working man
fully in the cause of education. 1t Is pre-
sided over by the Rev. Il. w. Humes, d.
D., one OF the purest of men, elevated in all
his feelings, and a highly accomplish
ed gentleman. l have known him for a
quarter OF century, and during that time
have never heard ought breathed against
his reputation. He is assisted by an able
faculty, all of them working men and all
lmoued with the spirit of their work. We
want 1t understood in Ohio and elsewhere
that the citizens of that region need not
nave no educational advantages. We have
them, and, what is better, they are daily
improving.
1t affords me a downright pleasure to
bear my feeble testimony to the high So
cial character of the citizens of Knoxville.
1t were immodest to be too fulsome on this
| subject, yet duty cOmpels me to say that l
,mow of no community of the same popu-
lation where stranger would find lOftier
type Of good breeding, refinement and in
| telligence. We have none of that abomin-
| al stuff some folks call "dristOcr0cy."
Our people are too sensible and too well
raised to become the dupes of any such
| folly. Among the hundreds of visitors to
this city not one, that l have heard of, ever
spoke disparagingly of our society They
are always pleased, and often delighted
! with the social character of our citizens.

DEAR SIR: Almost constant Ill healtn
for the past three months has prevented
me from noticing your last kind letter.

ed an interest here in tennessee never

want information concerning business In

there openings for favorable invest

We should like to know to what influence
the street loafers of this city owe the immu-
nifty they enjoy from the interference of the
solves unable to solve. In ordinary matters
the police are reliable and efficient enough, but
as soon as they come in contact with the
loafer class their vigor and independence
seem to desert them. Owing to this unac-
countable laxity there are certain numerous
points in the thoroughfares of the metropolis,
frequented by well-dressed loafers, which
ladies cannot pass without being subjected to
insult This is certainly strange common
tary on our civilization. In no other city in
the world would the scenes daily witnessed on
Broadway be suffered without raising such a
storm Of indignation as would compel the
police to disperse the crowds of diamond-be-
dizened loafers who ore the principal sinners
in this matter. The open approaches made in
the street to the schoolgirls by fellows in
the garb of gentlemen constitute
public scandal. This at least is a
nuisance which the police are in a
special manner called upon to suppress,
and we hope that they will act at once, and
vigorously. Orders should be issued to the
officers to break up those gatherings of
loungers whereve9 they may be found. The
broadway statues" are but one feature of an
unwholesome system that seems to permeate
our city life. In the less reputable streets the
loafer is not only nuisance, but q danger.
He is ordinarily rowdy and not infre-
quently thief From this class most
Of our murderers are recruited, and SO well
known is the character of these gangs for
violence that respectable citizens often suffer
insult and outrage without daring to offer re-
sistance. There is widespread idea that the
immunity which this class Of evil-doers enjoys
is due to political influence, and that the cap
tains of police do not dare put the law in force
against them We refuse to believe that this
is true and call upon Commissioners of Police
to execute the law, and free us from nuisance
that has become unbearable. If it is found
that some of the captains will not do their duty
the course Of the Commissioners is plain. The
citizens of New York maintain police force
for the purpose of keeping the streets clear and
preserving order, and we expect that they will
do this efficiently. So long as groups of well
known gamblers and other disreputable charac-
tiers are allowed to block the chief thorough
fares and insult the wives and daughters of re-
spectacle citizens the police fail in their
duty to the community. This is matter in
which there must be no half measures, and we
call upon the police to put down the increas-
ing nuisance with stern hand. The reign of
rowdies and gamblers must be brought to an
end, SO that we may walk the streets without
having to submit to insult or annoyance.

region, green peas and strawberries and cream,
were temptingly held out to his lean and
lanky brethren. But there was bad odor
about Baltimore, and the Conference let the
strawberries and soft crabs go. DR.. Rust
offered the delegates all the facilities and con-
ysaisnc;s aesasa u CINCINNATI With plainly G. G.
hlue-ss grass beefsteak, warranted to stick to the
ribs, without all the trash the venerable Balti-
MORGAN had offered. He was especially fearful
that the preachers might become dyspeptic
should they live on indigestible soft crabs for
a month or more, and he cautioned the Con-
ference not to accept DR.. Slicer's invitation.
The Conference did not evince much desire for
bluegrass beefsteak, because it had it's eye on
buffalo steak and wild Indian-excellent cleri-
cal dishes and easily digested-which Mr.. Bon
ner, of st. Louis, offered and which the dele
gates unanimously accepted. The claims OF
Philadelphia, and Columbus, Ohio, were pre-
sented; but the opportunity of hearing the old
Independence bell ring out its proclamation Of
liberty and the prospect of saving fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars could not compare
with the ministerial fondness for buffalo and
Indian, and those places were quietly set
aside.
Thus the Conference stands to-day, and who
can tell what day may bring forth?
