two with you. In short time you will
be men. Try and be good men. Not
sneaks, drunkards, or hangers-on the
skirts of others but out and out men OF
individual ideas. Do not aim to bepol-
iticians, for as q lot they are a set OF
poor devils, too lazy to work and not
smart enough to beg. Work out your
own ideas. Don't go to sleep III the
old ruts, to be run over by men OF ener-
gy when they come tearing along Learn
to rely upon yourself Don't run your
legs off after girls. Stick to your bust
ness and be straightforward, reliable,
industrious and right up and down in all
business affairs, like an old-tashloned
saw, and girls will run after, and catch
you too. Keep away from saloons it
you would save your health and money.
If you attend church to go home with

NO Further Need Tor Protecting IRON.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The iron mer-
chants of this city attribute the lockout at
Manchester, England, to the fact that the
high price Of English iron and increased
production in this country have rendered the
American market wholly independent of
Great Britain. The importation of British
iron this country is very light and confined
to special products sucn as Scotch pig
American iron is COW sent to Canada, and
consumers in California who formerly OBJ
tanned ali their iron from England are now
buying it in Pittsburg and here. An ex-
tensive dealer is said, in making an esti-
mate this week in regard to eleven hun
dred tonsof sheet iron, to have found that
it could be bought of American manufactur
srs at half cent per pound less than the
price of an inferior grade imported.

A PRETTY STORY SPOILED.

Some of the Radical fnanciers are 6gur-
ing up the State debt SO as to make the
Comptroller's Office worth $4,000. Let us
see how this will work out. The Comp.
troller's salary is S2,750 per annum. He
is allowed 500 per month for clerk hire.
The duties of the ofice are so laborious
that he is actually paying for clerk hire,
over and above the amount allowed by the
State, more per month than be receives as
a salary. As there are no peTquisites ex-
cept those arising from funding past due
bonds and coupons and registering of bonds
not yet due, the alleged $4,000 must come
from this source. The fees of the Comp
troller aud Secretary OF State are exactly
the same, and the State pays neither. The
whole comes from the bondholders. 1.-THE
entire Indebtedness of the State was to be
funded, it would have to amount to City
millions of dollars in order To- make
s. 0,OOO in fees to either of these
officers It will be remembered that
each of the new series of funding bonds is
for $1,000, and as the Comptroller and
Secretary of State each racsive 81 per bond
for funding, to- make $4,000 they must
fund fifty millions of indebtedness This
may be very good card to injure the State
credit and depreciate the value of our bonds
for the benef. of the jobbers and railroad
SPECTATORS. What are the factsi The
bonded debt of the State, including past due
coupons, after delGctiDg the amount owing
by solvent railroads and the proceeds of
delinquent railroads, is about $21 900, 900.
Of this smouns no one estimates that more
than S6,O00,0O0 is funda5le. If every dol
lar of this should be funded, toe receipts of
the Comptroller and Secretary, each, from
funding will be $4,000. But it is quite GER
tain that not more than $5,000,C00 will be
funded, leaving for the Comptroller and
Secretary of State, each, 5000. In ad-
dition to this they will receive fifty cents for
registering each bond presented for regis
Eration. Bonds to be registered are those
not yet due and which cannot be funded.
Say that there are S15,000,0OO of these,
and that S12, 100000 will be registered. This
vii give to the ComptrolleS and Secretary
of State, each $1,000, which with the
5000 they receive from the funding, makes
their total perquisites from the funding and
registering $1,000 instead of $4,000,
as stated by these Radical fTanclers. Thi7
is not psr annGm, but for the funding and
registering of the entire indebtedness of the
State, whether it be during this term ofoffce
or the next. One Radical lawyer, formerly
a Radical candidate for Governor, received
$1,000 for making an argument before the
Supreme Court of the State to sustain the
law disfrsnchising two-thirds Of the white
citizens of the Safe.

Copyiug from the UNION AND AMERICAN
the cards of Gov. Brown, Comptroller
Burch, and ex-Comp'roller Hobb', the
Memphis appeal of the 10th inst. says:
"The distinguished gentlemen fully sus-
tain themselves, and show that their enc
mics did not even have the slenderest
threat of truth on which to predicate so dss-
tardly an attack upon them. We are glad
the Governor has spoken. While he might
have shielded himself by official reserve,
and, like true man, have waited for the
yinGication of time, it was due to Messrs.
and by so doing sustain them by the
strength of bis integrity and official name"
From the Memphis Register, Aug. 20.
In another column of this paper we pub
lish letters from his excellency, Gov. John
C. Brown, ex-Comp.roller w. w. Hobbs,
and Comptroller Jonn G. Burch, which nail
to the counter he charges OF fraud and cor
ruplior, bargain and sale in regard to the
resignation Of Captain Hobbs and the sp-
poinlment OF Col Burch to the comptrol-
lership. They are all gentlemen of un-
doubled integrity, and their letters make
square issue of fact with tn Nashville BuL-
Letin, and other journals and persons who
hava made the charges. SOM comment
has been made upon the fact that Col.
Burch appeared as attorney in regard to
the Liquor bill which was passed st the last
session of the General Assembly. This
Col. Burch had parf3ct right to do as a
practicing attorney representing client.
1t now remains for the Bulletin and its
aiders and abettors in the war on Gov.
Brown and Comptroller Burch, to back
down, CT TO produce the proof of their
charges, as these gentlemen demand the
proof.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Aug. 20.
Ex Comptroller Hobbs has thought i
necessary to publish second card, denying
that he received bonus or a considera' ion
for resgning his Office. This second card
was brought out by bis trsducers insisting
that bis first card was not explicit enough
in its denisls. 1t Is unfortunate for Hobbs
that he is not better master of the English
language, for then he could have written
n first card in q manner TO suit the re-
ouiremaLts of those who are pestering him.
As il is, we notice that this last card does
not satisfy some of them. They charged
that hs received Sl2, 900 for resigning. He
denied that, and now they wait him to
dew that be did not receive $4,000. To
besure, tie has denied receiving any con-
s,dera,ion, whatever, but We look for a
thi,d card from him denying this last i'm
pu,aion. In these dull times for news

+ 4 From the alaski Citizen, Aug. 2l,
Tbs Nashville: Bulletin, Republican
weekly published at Nashville by Capt. E.
E. Winters, late of Brownlow's militia,
charges that there was bargain, sale and
corruption in the withdrawal Of Capt Hobbs
from the Comptroller's Office and the induc-
ton Of Col. Barch -into-the same. This
brought out lengthy cards from both Hobbs
and Burcb, broadly and fatty denying the
charge. Other paragraphs have since sp-
peared in the same sheet reiter ating the
charge and involving Gov. Brown, and also
charging the Governor with some sort of
bargain with regard to his veto o. the tip
plug bill, which have bad the effect to bring
from him a fuE, free, frank and forcible let
ter 'exonerating himself to the satisfaction
of every fair-minded man in the State.
With thoee who know Gov. Brown as we
know him in Giles, his integrity, either per-
sonal or official, Deeds no vindication from
the aspersiOns OF such sheet as the BuL-
letln.
Gov. Brown, Col. Bureh and Capt. Hobbs
have all denied the allegations in the most
unambiguous terms. We cannot believe
there was any bargain and sale, or if there
was, that Gov. Brown or Col. Burch knew
anything of it. We believe the whole
thing to be q fabrication out Of the whole
cloth for political effect. We know Gov.
Brown snd Col. Burch to be incapable of
staining their hands or their consciences
with such dirty affair. We do not know
Capt. Hobbs personally, but sustained as
be is by the cards Of the other gentlemen
named, whom we do know to be honest
and tzathful, We believe him also incapable
Of such An act, In fact, the unsupported
charge of the Nashville Bulletin amounts to
nothing, and can do no harm. No sensible
msnsought to credit the unsupported allega-
tions of such journal against such men as
Brown and Bnrch, and Winters might re-
iterste the charge till his face turns as black
as the principles and membership of the
party he represents, and still the characters
of those gentlemen will be unimpeached
and unimpeachable.
