The question of the resumption Of spe-
cfe payments is exciting good deal Of at
tsulioa at this time. A writer of the New
York Times suggests the 'taking in Of
g'eenbacks as gold flows into circulation;
Substituting coin for paper without conlrse-
d,nor change OF value; arresting the pro-
cess when money is desr; resuming it
when Il is cheap, and thus gradually absorb
ing gold into our circulating medium" Now
if this contributor to the Republican organ
CT New York could get the ear of the au-
thoTities at Washington, his suggestions
might do some good.

THE Knoxville Chronicle, the organ of
Republicanism 10 East Tennessee, smoothes
down the Ohio returns in this fashion:
"a noted lawyer once said that the most
uncertain thing in tire world was the YER
diet of twelve American jurors. We are
about prepared TO think that elections are
equslly doubtful. To have Predicted ten
day ago, the election Of the Old Bourbon,
Familiarity known in Ohio as Bill Allen, as
Governor OF that State, would have been
considered good Grounds for a verdict Of
insanity, and yet, the latest returns from
the election indicate such a result"

IRIsHMEN in Missouri are in favor of the
establishment of an Emigrant Bureau in

they land, and enable them to reach their
destination in the cheapest and most speedy
manner.

From Erin Station.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In company with
our genial friend, Il. c.. Harms, County
Superintendent, perambulating the 18th
District of Knox county, in the interest of
public free schools, we visited Erin. a flag
station on the East Tennessee, Virginia
ard Georgia Railroad, five miles west from
Knoxville; yet not always tagging, for the
citizens are alive to enterprises of some
note. The most prominent worthy of no.
tce is neat little church, 25x46 feet, to be
held or owned principally by the Presby-
terians, yet union church-that is, free to
all orthodox people for worship. 1t is a
frame building, situated north of the rail-
road, near the Kingston pike, on a slight
eminence, sure foundations stone
The entire structure has been just eight
weeks in progress, under the supervision
of 10. Mcclellan, with three assistants, do
ing all the work by hand except the door
and windows, which in point of time as
well as workmanship speaks well for Mac.
The building completed will cost not ex-
ceeding $500. For this neat building, so
worthy of note, the neighborhood is much
indebted to our Rev. friend, VIM. Akin.
Would that the same locality could be so
we'll recommended in the way of public
school house. NIDI.

ship lines had given notice that on to-day they
would only pay twenty cents per hour. Al
the men struck, demanding thirty cents per
hour The American Steamship Line paid
thirty cents in order to unload. The steamer
Pennsylvania arrived on Saturday and the
hands continued work. The Clyde Steamer
Line bad obtained men at twenty Gently cents.
The strikers claim the submission of the
American line as harbinger Of success, and
seem determined to force those working at low
