SEWING MAcHtNEs.--The magnlT
tude to which the sewing machine
business has grown IS only surpassed
BY the rivalry Of the various comreti-
tors, few Of whom are unfamiliar with
the numerous nrtifices resortcd e for
the commentator and sale Of the par
tlcuIar machine sought to be sold II
the number OF sales be any criterion Of
the merits of the different machines, it
cannot be denied that the Singer,
owing to the popularity of what is
known as the "New Family' machine,
far surpasses all others, for in the year
1871 that company sold over fifty-twO
thousand more machines than any
other company, as shown by sworn re-
turns of the companies, which returns
are made under the licenses granted
them by the owners of the sewing ma
chine patents. That year there were
1S1,26O of the Singers sold. Titus,
Bougardes & Co. are the agents at AL
bany for these famous machines. They
also keep q large assortment of needles
,forany kind of sewing machines now
manufactured.

Many of us pray to be delivered from sud
den death, and do we worry ourselves into
il? If we do, can we help it ? To most Of
US it is not given to choose our lives, to avoid
the rough places, to gently shoulder to one
side disagreeable facts. We must climb over
tharocks though they hurt US sore, aud the
difficulties however they may annoy us, must
be met with brain fret and wear until they
are conquered, or we have passed them.
They are as real, living, annoying as any
tangible ache or pain could be as brusing and
irritating as the peas in the shoes of the pill
grims of old. NERVOUS health is one thing
and moral health aud purely physical
health is quite another and different thing.
Calm and steady mental work is conducive
to long life but nervous emotion, mental
work that Is a constant urging, and, at the
same time is an unhanging Of the sven tenor
of the mind, eats away the brain faster than
any mental labor, no matter how hard, that
is systematic. AS men do not really die of
heart disease as often as supposed, but Of
apoplexy, or congestion Of the lungs, 50 they
do not die of brain work, but Of brain worry.

LAND SWINDLES.

1t is worth while for the people of Scott,
Anderson and Morgan counties to look in
to the land swindles being perpetrated
through grants being issued by State au-
thority, and bolstered up by certificates
from county officials, which while they
may not be actually false, mislead and laid in
the basest sort of swindles. Parties of wealth
holding grants thus bolstered, may give
expensive annoyance to the lawful holders
of valuable mineral tracts. Protracted and
veXatious law suits have been carried on
with even less foundation to stand on than
these grants signed and sealed with the
great red seal of the Executive Office at
Nashville. Non residents could drag
Scott and Morgan county land holders to
the United States Courts in this city
and if they finally failed to get their land
might make the defence of their suits cost
them more than their land is worth
These frauds are working immense dam
age to the people of East Tennessee. We
are in position TO know this and do know
it to be a fact. One of the most damaging
stories to be circulated against a section
seeking immigration is that its land titles
are bad. Such stories are hard to over
come. These land swindles spread such
impressions concerning East Tennessee
Vino profit from these frauds? The peo-
pie do not, of course, and we knew they are
thoroughly indignant against the perpe-
traitors. Let them look to their county
books and see who are engaged in the bust
ness and then let public sentiment drive
out the swindlers to be exposed and desps-
ed as they deserve.

A HINT TO THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
Frs.

In considering how often important
measures in government have been in
fluenced by trifles, it is interesting to know
a circumstance connected with the signing
of the Declaration of independence, re-
cited by Jefierson's greatgfanddaughter
in her Domestic Life of Thomas Jefler.
son. She gives the incident as one that
the author of that great instrument fire.
quently referred to with amusement. The
hall where the signers met was near livery
stable, and the flies were so annoying that
the silk-stocking and knee-buckled gentle
men spent most of their time actively
driving the flies away from their legs with
their pocket handkerchiefs. So pestiferous
were these active little agents for our In
dependence, that jefferson says many
of the members impatiently awaited their
turn to sign the Declaration and fly from
the place. $50 very vexatious was this
annoyance, and to so great an Impotence
did it arouse the sufferers, that it hasten
ed if it did not aid in in
ducing them to promptly affiX
their signatures to the great document,
We refer to the incident now as hint to the
Centennial Commissioners, that in their
great celebration of our Independence in
1876, they may give our patriotic Ameri-
can flies the prominent position in the eX-
hibition to which this testimony of Jetfer-
son entities them. Hugo, in his wonder
full description of the battle Of Waterloo
and its influence upon the nations of Eu-
rope, says that 1.-THE nod of the peasant
Lacoste's head cost Napoleon Waterloo"
Is it too much to say in view of Jetfersons
testimony, that the bites of the American
flies cost England its richest colony?

The Minfer.O,Conner Amir.

Some days ago the Press and Herald, in
abiding to the Comrtrollership charges
of the Nashville Bulletin said:
an these dull times for news gatherers,
while the chief editor is absent in Europe,
those in charge of the Republican organ at
Nashville, found it necessary to do some
thing TO create a sensation and they sue
ceeded. Hobbs, however, should initiate
the example of our friend O'Conner and
leave the writing of his cards to the one
who started the report. The card seems
to have been satisfactory"
The reference above made was to the
card of Capt. Winters which was pIb-
Used in the CHRONICLE, in which he
stated that his article was not intended to
charge Maj. O'Conner with furnishing the
money alleged to have been paid Hobbs.
The intention that the card was published
through fear and intimidation is repealed
by Capt. Winters in the last Bulletin.
1--WE are surprised at the publication of
this article in the Press and Herald
The editor had certainly not commune
Gated with Mr.. OConner relative to the
circumstances under which we gave the
card published by us, or he would not
have given utterance to the language in
the above quotation. The matter between
that gentleman and ourself has been hon
orably settled, and we do not wish again
to open it, In sparing the life of our as
sailant on that occasion when he was per-
fectly within our power, and we would
have been justified by the laws of the land
in taking it, meets the appreciation of our
own conscience. Mr.. O'Conner is brave
man, and if the editors of the Press and
Herald want the facts, we are satisfied he
will give correct statement of them, and it
will make such an impression that the
terrier who does the barking for the Press
and Herald, will not be likely to attempt
a similar assault, nor will his friends that
he advises so to do. We regret that we
are compelled in vindication of our honor
to refer to the matter.

KENTUCKY OUTLAWS.

The State administration of Kentucky
is completely in the hands of the Democ-
racy For years the State has been over
RIM by masked outlaws. Not in caves or
mountain Businesses, but within sight of the
State Capitol at Frankfort these demo-
cratic kuklux defy the laws and the courts
and make life and property insecure. So
bold and unblushing have these wrongs
been perpetrated that the COuicr-Journdl
feels called upon to thus rebuke its party
in power. In its issue of the 25th, it says:
We present to our readers this morning
another detailed and appalling report of
kuklux outrages in Owen and the sur
rounding counties from our special cores
pondent, who was selected for his courage
and capacity and sent to the disturbed Sec
ton with instructions to gain full and ac-
curate information in regard to the out
RACES of the assassins. 1t will be seen that
peaceable citizens living within five miles
of our State capital dare not leave their
homes after dark, and are subjected to con-
slant apprehension and danger at their
own firesides. The State government is
virtually bearded in its stronghold. The
proclamations of the Governor are laughed
at as were the fulminatiOns of the ancient
monarch against the waves of an angry
sea, tne CIVIL authorities are stricken WlVn
the palsy of fear, courts of justice have be-
come mere mockery, and their enginery
affords no protection to the victim whose
life is imperiled and whose house is plum
dered and converted into ashes. Hooded
villainy almost invades the grounds of the
capital and if a little more courage is ac-
CURED on its part, and a little more push
lanimity is betrayed on the part Of the of
ficers of the law, we shall expect the rep
Tesentatives of the State Government to be
driven from the capital, should they ever
offend the august body of outlaws.
Our correspondent sufficiently exposes
the paltry plea that the kukluX can not be
detected. He gives the names of several.
If the courts were not utterly worthless
the entire gang could be dragged to the
bar of justice.

Or heyoung men who were applicants
for admission to West Point about thirty
per cent. failed to pass their examination
last June. The Board OF Visitors to West
Point call attention to this fact aud refer to
it in an argument against the efficiency of
the common school system. We take it,
that when the locality of the failures is
considered, it will be found that most of
them have either resided where there wa,
no sy stem of public schools, or else We're of
those who failed TO offend where they had
the opportunity. The examination of APP
plicants to West Point, is almost entirely
confined 10 the elementary branches,

WHEN the Memphis appeal gets down
to its work it does it up in grandiloquent
style. Hear it smother John G. Brown in
its most extrayagant praises:
"Governor Browns private and public
life has been so blameless, his popularity
SO absC lutte and unparalleled that he, no
doubt, feels keenly and views with regret
the unjust and unprovoked war made up
on him. But innocent of any act caculat-
ed to injure himself or those whose inter
ests he has at heart, the people will still
lavish upon him that affection which they
have heretofore exhibited
Which We wish To remark is all bosh. If
the appeal editor has been outside OF
NJ, M pas in the last six months, he knows
that Governor Brown is most effectually
"playel out' with his own party. He
has lost ground rapidly as politician /;
hence he efforts of the "Orgaus" 10 bolster
him. He has his eye on the United States
senate, but he is farther from it now than
when elected Governor for his first term.

COST OF IRON ORES.

We publish elsewhere, an encouraging
report from the new iron works at Oak
dale The immense advantage possessed
by East Tennessee iron companies, is large
ly due to the abundance, cheapness and
goodness of their ores. The price of iron
ores is constantly advancing. Last year
we imported but one-third of the iron used
in the country. The same is true of at
least two of the years preceding it.
Manufacturers of pig metal North have to
contend with the increasing price of ores
and transportation. The Lake Champlain
companies raised the price of their ores no
less than three dollars this season. Look
at the following increase: The prices Of
the magnetic ores at Lake Champlain
were, in 1862, 50; in 1S72 $3.50; in 1873
$3.50, per ton, at their dock, for lump. The
delivery of this ore will cost the iron man
ufacturers from 81 to 50 per ton more.
Our furnaces can be built in the midst of
ore beds where it can be brought to the
mouth of the stack for one dollar per ton,
as at lockwood or Oakdale, or they
can be built at points like Knoxville,
where variety OF ores lying near at hand
can be secured at little advance on the
above figures. With this variety of ores
any desired quality of iron can be made.
This advantage is coupled with cheap coal
and limestone, and combine to make iron
making in East Tennessee one of the most
profitable and extended interests of her
immediate future.
THE Washington Chronicle publishes
long article from Judge Advocate Cen
eral, Holt, which completely viudicates
him from the charge that he suppressed
the petition for the Communication of the
sentence of Mrs. Surratt, which Unassigned
by five members of the court that tried
aud convicted her as part of the conspi
racy to assasinate President lincoln. 1t
will be remembered that the friends of
President johnson and as was alleged, 10y
his authority, gave as an excuse for the
failure to commute her punishment to i'm
prisonment for life; that Mr. johnson did
not see the petition before the sentence
was approved and executed. Gen. Holt
now publishes letters from ex-Attorney
General James Speed, eX-SecretarY Har
Ian, and statements from Stanton and
Seward, all of Mr.. JOhnson's Cabinet, to
the effect that not only was the petition OF
Mrs Surratt before Mr.. Johnson, but that
it was actually considered by the Cabinet,
which refused to concur in its prayer
This subject is only referred to now as ID
matter Of JUSTICE to Judge Holt, who has
long rested under the charge His win
dication is now complete,

IT must be eminently satisfactory to
Brown, Burch &, Co., TO see with what
promptness and obsequiousness the party
organs come to their rescue in the matter
Of the sale of the Comptrollership. When
honest men all over the State unhesitating-
ly express their dissatisfaction with the
manner these gentlemen have met the
charges, and are satisfied from the over
whelming circumstantial evidence, that
there was bargain and sale connected
with the transaction, the organs" are
talking about "the granite foundation" of
the regulations of the accused, and of the
harmless reception of the charges, &C., &c
The Union and american fills its columns
with such trash, and yet it hears all about
its very doors the murmurs of indignant
and honest men of lis own party. 1t can
not even deceive itself by such brzen i'm
pudence.

HOW TO GET AID FROM THE PEABODY
FUND.

AS many inquiries are addressed to us
concerning the plan and terms upon
which the Peabody aid to public schools is
extended we give an outline of the regula-
tions adopted by DIR. Sears, the general
agent for the fund as the same are set forth
in an address from our State Superintend-
ent of Schools.
The Peabody fund is given in aid of pub
Tic schools. 1t is not given to neighbor>
hood schools simply because they need
help. The money is not dispensed as
charity fund. 1t is only given to schools
organized and taught under State authori-
ty, These schools must not only be free,
but they must be graded and coducted
upon certain prescribed principles set
forth in circular letter the substance of
which we give below:
Before any application can be consider
ed, strict compliance with the following
conditions N ust be satisfactorily guaran-
teed:
/. The school for which aid is asked,
must be q public free school, under the con-
troll of the lawfully constituted local school
authorities.
.. 1t must have bona fide enrolment
of not less than one hundred pupils, aver
aging eighty-tive per day.
3. 1t must have an assured fund for cur
rent expenses, amounting to at least twice
as much as the aid received from the fund.
f. 1t must be graded school.
5. A teacher must be furnished for every
fifty pupils at most.
6. Two copies of the blanks must be
filled up and subscribed by the proper par
ties and returned to the State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction at Nashville.
For further information to Applicant,
the following extract from the proceedings
of the Peabody Board of Trustees is pre-
sented:
For well-reguated public free schools,
continued ten months of the year, and
having regular attendance of not less
than
