THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
How the Work is Progressing.

Within the past few days saw run by steam
power has been put in operation, which is now
doing the work required in as rapid a manner
as possible. The working of the six saws now
running, and they can be run as easily as one, IS
equal to that of thirty stone cutters, whose pay
would amount to $3.50 for twenty-tour hours,
while the cost of running it is only Sl3.1 Tor
that length of time, being sa wing OF S346.50
every twenty-four hours or three days work of
eight hours each.
The cost of the machinery delivered did not
exceed $4,000, and it has already within the
few DAYS that the saws have been running, more
than paid for itself Each saw cuts through
block of marble ten or eleven feet long, three
fourths Of an inch per hour, and the largest
stones yet gotten out have been sawed through
in twenty-tour hours. A look at the working
of the apparatus would be interesting to any
one who had never seen the operation Of marble
saving before. ,.......
The force at the quarry employed in gettin g
out the marble, now consists of sixty-fve men,
and they are now sending down very large
stones, to be nsed as facing for the doors and
windows, and when sawed and placed in posi-
ton, the arches will be turned and work on
the wall of the second story commenced, The
stone cutters now number about fifty men, who
are steadily employed in preparing the work as
it progresses, the force at the quarry being suf-
fcient to enable them to do so.
The iron columns to support the second floor
have arrived, and will be placed in position.
The work will be pushed forward at the rate Of
a story every three months, which is as fast as
can reasonably be expected.

The Gas Question.

MEsSRS EDITORS noticed your remarks in
the CHRONICLE, a few days ago. upon the veXed
gas question, as well as the proceedings of our
City Fathers upon the same subject at a recent
meeting of that body. Is there no solution to
this veXed question? Is this litigation in the
Chancery Court about the Gas Works, like
most other Chancery cases, to be interminable?
Is there to be no extension of gas light in the
direction of North and East Knoxville or to
other portions of the city where the citizens are
clamoring for it F.? Is every other interest con-
neCted with gas to remain in dead lock until
this question is decided? Are two or
three litigantS who can not agree upon
the management of the Gas Company
stand in the way Of an immediate extension of
Il great public improvement and by this means
impede the progress of a rapidly growing city?
These are important questions which the pub
lie spirited citizens of Knoxville would like to
see speedily settled Why cannot Colonel
Branner and Colonel Swepson who control
large majority Of the stock Of this Company,
and who are men of shrewdness and of large
means and who have the same tied up, settle
the litigation, if not by arbitration, do it by an
agreed case and submit the points in contrO-
versy to the Supreme Court for an early adju-
dication, If this was an ordinary case Of
litigation, and none but private parties interest
ed, it would be quite presumtuous to offer terms
for settlement but every tax payer in Knox
vile is an interested party. If there can be no
compromise, why not let the fund which is ac-
cumulating in the hands of the Clerk and Mas
ter be appropriated by an order Of the court,
in pursuance of resolution or order of the
Board of Mayor and Alderman some months
since, for an extension of the mains and pipes
intimated by the action of the Board. The
fund is now idle and useless, but by
such a direction can be made Of benitit
to the Company and at the same time
it will satisfy the public desire for the further
extension Of the works. Indeed, this course
would be no more than simple justice to the tax
payer of North and East Knoxville. who must
submit to the continued demands and exactions
for lighting other portions of the city.
If it is true as alleged that the city has al
ready out grown the capacity of the present
gas works for "a plentiful and cheap supply Of
gas, then the necessity IS still greater for an
early settlement of this litigation that other IA
ciliteS for the manufacture of larger
and cheaper supply can be made to
meet the increasing public and pri-
vate demands. Thus, and thus only, will
the public clamor be met and satisfied, and thus
would an equitable and just solution Of this
question, in the opinion of your correspondent,
be arrived at. 1t seems that all parties would
thereby be benefited. The investment would
certainly amply repay the stockholders. The
object for which the charter was granted would
be accomplished and the wants of an otherwise
prosperous and growing city would be satisfied
and all go along smoothly and tremendously.

The Election,

EDITORS CHRONICLE: There are several citi-
zens of the First and Third Wards who would
like to know if Mayor Van Glider furnishes the
police force to electioneer in ward elections. On
ordinary occasions a policeman is never seen
east of Gay street, but yesterday there were
three and four at time at the polls in the First
Ward, all diligently working for Gilbert, who
was Mayor Van elders candidate. One of
them went SO far as to canvass the ward for Gil
bert, visiting the houses of various citizens, and
urging them to come out and vote.
QUERY-Is it polceman's duty to election
eGr or is it his business to be around and looking
after the morality OF the city?

Live Stock Market.
HORSES AND MULES.


Horses are dull sale here and also in the
South. Average good horses sell at low figures,
and the supply is more than equal to the de-
mand. Plug horses sell at prices ranging from
So to 800 at Atlanta about the same as here:
Mules are also dull, they are offering freely,
but holders ask more than can be realized III the
Southern market. The wholesale market.Of At
lanta is now overstocked, and retailing through
the inland towns is the Only way in which deal
crs can dispose of their stock to advantage
Messrs. s. NJ. Lacky Il Co. have controlled the
market in this city for some months, but have
stopped purchasing for the present.
CATTLE.
The cattle market has been somewhat more
lively this week than last, and by glance at
the report below, it will be seen that the aver
age weight of those sold far surpasseS those sold
last week. Several lots of fine steers have been
sold at advanced rates among others. we may
mention the one sold by Mr.. Cox to Mr.. Wash
have been no shipments up to date, but we
hear of Il lot to be shipped on Wednesday. The
demand for fat cattle is good, both for shipment
and city consumption, and our farmers will find
ready sale for their cattle at fair prices.
Number cattle sold, 10 head average weight,
1,074 lbs.
QUoTATIoNs-A fat cattle, la4l good beef
cattle, 34a4; ordinary, 2fa3.
HOGS.
The severe weather has operated against the
hog market, and but few have been offered on
foot, Those offered, however, have found ready
sale at fair prices. We look for lage sales dur
ing hecomming week. and no fears are enter
tanned of decrease in the demand.
Number of hogs sold, 49 head. Average
weight, 1544 pounds
QUoTATIoNs.-Prim fat hogs, 4ca4!c. Or
binary, 3fca4.

been brought to market, but we apprehend an
increased demand soon. We quote No. l fat
sheep, 2ca24c, gross.
HAY.-The demand for hay the past week
was never better than during that time, and
those Of our farmers who have had the courage
to brave the excessive cold weather in putting
their hay in market, have realized handsome
profit. During the week, 3j,705 pounds have
been sold on Market Square, and, with but few
exceptions, at Sl00 per hundred pounds. The
demand continues, and those having hay should
take advantage Of the present high price to
place it in market.
