GENERAL FREMONT General Ere
mont publishes in Saturdays New
York Tribune a full reply to the
charges which have been made against
him as President of the Memphis, Ell
Paso aud Pacific Railroad Company.
The main points of his defense are that
he did not become President Of the
company until after The alleged transac-
tions took place; that the enterprise
which he represents is a genuine one,
and that the work of placing the bonds
in Paris was intrusted to subordinate
agents. The Tribune we'll says: "The
explanation of General Fremont de-
serves attention as coming from re-
putable citizen whose good name is
part of his country's history" The
Times says that 1.-THE French courts
have taken kind of snap Judgment
against him, and, whatever may have
been the mistakes and misrepresenta-
tons committed in the matter, they
originated in Paris, and were neither
suggested by or known to General FIRE.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Tuesday of last week New Hampshire
held her election for state officers, AID
three members of Congress. The re-
suit on Governor is close, but the Ia
test returns indicate that Straw Repub-
lican, has been reelected by clear
vote of the people. Last year the cleo
ton for governor was thrown into the
Legislature. Should this be the case
this year, the Republican candidate
would be chosen, as the Republicans
have large majority in both branches.
The reelection of three democratic
Congressman was at first conceded, but
later returns elect only one Of them
Parker in the Third District. This is
a substantial gain of two members from
the "Old Granite State" over the cleo
ton of Two years ago. This, the first
election Of the campaign of 1873, does
not indicate that the present year will
prove the "off year" with Republicans.

THE TOBACCO BUSINESS OPENING.
The tobacco warehouse of G. B
Stone on the corner of Main and Court
streets, give indication that the sale of
last years crop has begun, though the
eceipts at the warehouse have not yet
been large, owing to unfaTorable wealth
er. From two to ten cents per pound
is the ordinary range for the ~ crop,
hough an occasional lot brings a cent
or cent and a half more. Producers
generally think they should receive
twelve and half cents for wrappers
while buyers are careful abc"; Offering
more than ten cents. This difference
Of opinion helps render sales slow, but
with the ope~lng Of spring it will be-
come more lively, as farmers will then
be in better selling mode and buyers
more anxioxs to purchase.

TWO acres of tobacco grown last year,
which stripped out over 1900 pounds
per acre. Two thirds of the yield is

cents per pound for his crop all around,

A DISCREPANCY

Our modest Mayor, in his characteristic
address to the people of Knoxville, which
will be found in another column, under
the head of Annual Report of the Mayor,
claims that he has reduced the debt of the
city sos, 1888 50. Let us see how this is.
When Mr.. Van Glider went into office,
cur bonded debt was S117, 800. The float
ing debt, according to his own report, was
$50, ,92i OF, making the total debt $l5l,-
424 OIL. Now the bonded debt is S143 200.
On this the interest due the first of Janu-
ary is, say $1,000. The floating debt now
is Sc, 1S4 %. Our total debt now is $685.
9S4 20, or an increase of 81 800 10.
But Mr.. Van Glider says that there is
now due the corporation So, ,012. 3Omore than
was due when he came into Office. Give
him the benefit Of all this, land of course
it will not all be collected and still the
city debt is 81 81 80, or only 81, ,052.11 less
than when he came into office in 1870.
These figures are made from official re-
ports, except the matter Of $1,000, interest
due on the bonded debt, which we presume
will not be disputed.
At this writing We are unable to say
what the increase of taxes has been under
his administration, but it has certainly
been no small item. Ii, with this. in.
crease in the value of property and
consequent increase in the amount OF
taxes collected, he can show no more than
81 900 decrease in the debt, is there any.
thing to boast of? We can see nothing
especially when we take into consideration
that the permanent improvements made
| by him in the city amount to less than
| those made by his predecessors.

The Mayor expects to appoint some
tools for judges of election next Saturday
and throw upon them the responsibility of
holding that voters must have poll-taX re-
ceipts. 1t is false, as claimed, that the pres
ent bills before the Legislature were intro
duced through Van Gllder's influence. His
tools hold out the idea that he is opposed
10 1t, but We believe that the only hope he
has for election is in excluding voters from
the polls OH election day. We want the
Mayor to understand that this game won't
win. The majority of honest voters of
this city are opposed to him and his ring,
and he knows his only hope is to deprive
them of the privilege of voting. We say
to him now, these men expect to, and piH
zoe, and he dare not prevent them.

not to send commission to Louisiana to
take testimony regarding the political
troubles there, but to summon all needed
witnesses to come to Washington and give
their testimony here. 1t is also understood

The clause in said charter above referred
to, is as follows: "a reasonable price per
thousand feet for gas shall be charged in
the case of private individuals, to be regu-
lated by the prices in other Southwestern
Cities"
1t is obvious that the charter leaves the
price to be paid for gas matter for the
adjustment between the citizen and the
Gas Company, subject to the above restric-
tive clause in their charter, and neither
the Gas Committeeman the legislative au-
thority of the city can regulate their

The pending question at the adjourn

Garfield, of Ohio, replied to Smith IS
speech made yesterday, repelling the idea
that any judgments had been paid by the
Secretary ofthe Treasury, except in strict
compliance with the law. He cited the
ruinous decision Of the Supreme Court to
the effect that the receipt of special or of
a general portion relieved claimants of all
difficulties which they might otherwise
labor under in regard to their legality, and
that whenever the United States Govern
ment holds property which it has forcibly
seized, it holds il only as a trustee and
must deliver it back when the owner comes
and proves his title to it, without regard to
his moral character.
The amendment offered by Smith, of
New York, was rejected, there being only
38 votes in the affirmative.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment providing that no money shall
be paid to any railroad company for the
transportation of mail or troops while
such company is in default for interest on
bonds issued by the Government.
Sargent, of California, made the point of
order that there was nothing in the bill to
which the provision could apply.
The Chairman sustained the point of
order and excluded the amendments.
Other amendments of like nature were
offered, but were ruled out of order.
