The Washington Chronicle says that "a gen

who had occasion to visit the Treasury Depart
mcnt, gives gloomy picture regarding the
business interest in his State. He says that
money there is extremely scarce, and business
is at a stand. STILL All interest appears to have
been lost in almost every enterprise, and the
little money that is invested is absorbed in pro-
jects further North" We are very sorry to

Private advices from Texas state that the re-
nomination of Davis for Governor will not re-
ceive the cordial endorsement of the entire Re-
publican party, and will result ina large falling
off of voters who will either not vote at all or
will cooperate with the opposite party. The
Republicans are greatly divided into personal
factions Influenced by the race for office and
local issues. We hope the Conservatives will
not have the same to be said about them.

FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1878.

A letter from Washington in the Baltimore
Sun SAYS :-"The treaty which Peace Commits
sioner Brunot has just negotiated with the
Crow Indians in Montana, by which they agree
to leave their reservation for one on the Mis-
souri, river to the northward, is one Of the most
important which has been made for long time.
The reservation surrendered contains six and
quarter million acres, or an area larger than
any of the New England States except Maine,
and that accepted is only one.thlrd as large
The treaty extinguishes the Indian title to the
reservation, through which the route OF the
Northern Pacific railroad has been located, and
will confer on that road the title to It's land
grant forty miles wide, for pearly two hundred
and fifty miles along the valley of the Yellow
stone. Mr. Brunot, who concluded the treaty,
is stakeholder in the Northern Pacific road
A correspondent of the New York Herald
has been interviewing Judge Robert Ould,
OF Richmond, on the subject Of the third
term" Judge O. is, of course, himself opposed,
to ''Cesarism'' but cannot say how strong a
hold the new movement may have obtained 10
the Republican party in Virginia. He says :
"Ifwe are tojudge our future by the past ofother
nations, we will not drift into monarchy, Caesar
ism or despotism, without previous stage OF
anarchy That is the only pressure which hlth-
erto has forced republican people into I'M
peria!ism. They have never flown to klDgy or
despostic power except as refuge from an
archy.' This may be all we'll enough; but we
wish our public men would make fewer political
speeches, and allow fewer interviews" 1t Is
full time the interviewing was done with.
The Baltimore Gazette speaking OF the re-
cent rains, says: 1--WE can now see the CON-
pensating advantages. Even those who stayed
at the camp meetings say that they did not suit
fer much. No great damage was done by the
sudden freshets, but in the cities general clear
ance of vast accumulation of filth was effect
ed. The rain in this respect has been worth
thousands of dollars. In the country the corn will
now mature rapidly, potatoes grow almost too
rank. Vegetables of all kinds are in fact safe,
and the grass will be green and afford pasture
far into autumn"

that the tax was legal, aud dismissed the case,

Ii is not expected that the present Leg
islature will be able in the seventy-five
days allotted to the session, to do every
thing necessary to be done. Some inn
portant matters will remain unsettled.
But we trust something will be done on
the subject of public roads. The present
system of keeping them up is horrible. 1t
is simply out of the question for people
to aspire to prosperity with such highways
as disgrace this. country. The roads are
always bad enough, but since the late con-
tinuous wet weather some of the leading
thoroughfares in Knox county are almost
impossible.
We conversed short time ago with one
of our wealthiest and most practical bust
ness men. He suggested the propriety OF
the Legislature authorizing counties to
levy a tax each year for the purpose OF
grading and macadamizing roads, TO be
kept up from year to year until they are
put in good condition. Whether this is
the most feasible plan, we are not prepar
ed to say, but anything is better than the
present system. 1t is impossible to make
the matter worse.

YESTERDAY we published all extract
from the Washington correspondence of
the New York Times, relative to Hon. j.
NJ. Thornburgh, our Representative elect
TO the Add Congress. Col. Thornburgh Is
already beginning to attract attention al
Washington. His bold, vigorous manner
of thinking, and his ready, vigorous action
upon all questions upon which he has
thorough convictions, will make him very
efficient Representative. When convlnc-
ed that measures right he does not and
will not mince words in its support, while
he will assail wrong with all the vigor OF
his warm nature. We predict for him a
successful career in the responsible position
to which he has been elevated by so flat
tering an expression of public esteem and
confidence.

IMPROVING THE TENNESSEE RIVER.

Through our Representative in Con-
gress, Hon. Horace Maynard, We have re-
ceived copy of the bill which has just
passed both Houses of Congress and is
now a law, making appropriations for
the repair of certain public works, on riv-
ers and harbors, and for other purposes. F."
We find that the bill appropriates for
the improvement of the Tennessee
River, below Chattanooga, includ-
ing the Muscle Shoals, the sum OF
one hundred thousand dollars. 1t also APP
propriates for the Improvement of the
river above Chattanooga the sum of twen-
ty-five thousand dollars.
Mr. Maynard has always been fully
alive to the importance of improving nav
gation on the Tennessee river, and has d.
rected his labors in that way, not without
success. In the next Congress he Will
have the aid of Hon. VIM. Crutchfield
who has given that subject much study
and will take an eminenty practical view
of the matter.

legislative Summary.

In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Mccall in
troduced resolution, which lies over, CIV
ing as the sense of the General Assembly
that the debt of the State, whether of bonds
or coupons, should not be funded, as is now
proposed by several bills before the body.
House resolution appointing a committee
to inquire into the amount of fees received
bv Clerks of Courts, was adopted. Senate
bill regulating the insurance business in
this State, passed third reading. This bill
is the one introduced by Mr.. Richardson,
the main features of which are that it re-
auires from foreign fire insurance compa-
nies doin& business in Tennessee a sworn
statement as to the condition of their bust
ness, of q more strict character than under
the present law, and that the deposit with
the Comptroller of the sum of $50, 900 pro-
vided for by the present law, shall no
longer be required. A resolution was In
troduced, which lies over, directory to the
State Treasurer, instructing him to cancel
the Tennessee money he has on hand,
amounting to 500, 1872; also appointing a
joint committee to examine all Cancelled
securities which have accumulated in the
hands of the State officials since the date
of the last examination by Legislative
Committee. A communication was re-
ceived from Col. Il. A. Scott, proposing to
pass the members of the Legislature from
Louisville to Washington and return free,
in order that they may participate in the
Inauguration festivities in the latter city.
The Invitation was accepted, and joint
resolution adopted by vote of fifteen to
seven, providing for an adjournment from
the 1st to the 10th of March, TO witness
the Inauguration ceremonies referred to.
1t is extremely doubtful if the House
adopts such a resolution, with so much
important legislation that needs prompt
attention.
In the House new bills were introduced:
BY Mr.. Mulyerhill, to repeal from section
1.781 to 1,7S9, inclusive, of the Code; by
Mr.. Houk, to amend an act to establish a
Bureau of Immigration, and for other pur-
poses. House bill on third reading, to form
the new county of Webster out of parts of
Claiborne, Campbell and Union, passed !;
also bill making one guilty of felonious
assault, where, if murder had ensued, it
