Your committee feel entirely satisfied that
the Congress and the country will not fail to
perceive the justice and the wisdom of the
measure herein recommended
In recommending that the rates of salaries
for senators. members and delegates recon-
mended herein be applied to the present. Con.
gress and paid to its members, your commit
tee are but following every precedent on this
subject from the foundation of the Govern
ment to the present time. If it is an eouita-
bic provision for future Congresses, it ia
equally so for this. In making this recon.
mendation, however, your committee believe
that the mileage already received by the sem

second Congress should be deducted from the
amount to which they will be entitled under
the provisions of the bill which your commit.

WE have not yet learned what answer
Gov. Brown expects to return to the Com
missioners of Agriculture in reply TO their
curt resolution, that it is none of his
business how much money they pay out
to the Rural Sun editors for salaries. If
we could get a chance to whisper into the
Governors ear we would say to him, that
the farmers don't take much stock in the
concern and that he will make more
friends among them by roofing out the fat
salaried fellows who hardly know har-
row from a threshing machine, than he
will lose by pocketing their insult.
Farmers who work hard all year in the
field are hardly able to sympathizeS with
Killebrew in LIS tears over the nlittlen
$4,000 salary he is drawing for tanning
himself in the shade of the Capitol. We
know three or four farmers who would
compromise quick on that salary. They
wouldn't cry about it, either.

FORCED TO SPEAK.


At last the Rural San has been forced to
speak. q It found public indignation too
great to be appeased with silence on its
part. And what defense! It substanti-
ally admits all we have charged. 1t adj
mits that Killebrew is paid 49, 900 as Secre-
tary of the Agricultural Bureau. 1t ad-
mits that DIR. Stafford gets 81 900. 1t ad-
mits that Mr.. Charlton gets 81 900. 1t adj
mits that the West Tennessee agent gets
$1,000. 1t admits that four of the six COM
missioners who fix these salaries are stock
holders of the Rural Sun. 1t claims, how
ever, that there is no connection between
the Sun and the Bureau, and accuses the
CHRONICLE of great Injustice in
charging it. Mr.. Killebrew defends
the Commissioners for paying him $4,000
and claims that he earns it. He claims to
pay his travelling expenses out of. it. We
venture that he travels on dead head
pass on the railroads aud boards free with
the "dear farmers His expenses are
probably two hundred dollars. What
does he do for the balance?
The admission that six of the ten thou
sand dollars appropriated for the farmers
is used in paying salaries is enough. How
much more is expended in the same way
we do not know. The Memphis appeal
charges that outside of the one thousand
dollars paid as salary to the West Tennessee
agent, it has thus far been unable to hear of
any other money expended for agriculture
in West Tennessee. In East Tennessee we
get the salary paid to Mr.. Charlton. He
organizes the Farmers Clubs, canyasses
for the Sun as business matter to help
him earn living-does all the work and
the Nashville gentlemen draw the fat
salary. .-,-..-
It may be that all this is right and just
and the best for the farmers, but it will be
hard to so convince the tax payers. It may
be that it is all an accident, that these sal
aries go to Rural Sun men, and that four
of the six Commissioners who fix the sal
aries ate stockholders of the same paper,
but it is asking too much of people to be-
lieve it SO. 1t may be that there is no
connection between the Commissioners,
who fix the salaries and the Sun men who
draw them, but it is presuming somewhat
upon the ignorance of the people to ask
them to believe it.
The Sun says the Agricultural Bureau
has not helped the paper any. Have not
the editors of the Sun reduced their own
salaries since they got their lift from the
Bureau? Has not the printing of the Blu
reau been given to the San office We
said at the outset that we suspected that
was the secret of providing for the PRINT
ing outside of the $4,000. This the San
does not notice.
But after admitting all we have charged
the Sun goes on in a long article and
charges that the secret of the CHRONICLES
attacks is that it is jealous of the San and
opposed to farmers" We dismiss the
first charge as too ridiculous for attention.
The CHRONICLE has about as much cause
to be jealous of the Days Doings as the Sun.
The one comes in competition with it about
as much as the other.
The second charge is equally ridiculous.

A CORRESPONDENT, of the New York
Times, evidently Northern man, writes
from Birmingham, Alabama, Of I S trip to
that point from New York. He travelled
through Virginia and East Tennessee and
says he has improved numerous opportu-
mites to mingle with people and they talk
about everything but politics, are general
ly cheerful, and towards Northern men are
frank, open, cordial, and are thoroughly
adapted to the situation with respect to the
colored population, while the coloreu pop
ulation are equally cheerful and content
ed.n
Our people are just now concerned a
great deal more about their crops and the
best way to build up East Tennessee than
they are about politics. They want more
population and more capital, and Northern
people will find as cordial welcome in
Knoxville as they will find in New York.

The farmers of East Tennessee know full
well whether the CHRONICLE is friend
or an enemy. We are content to leave
them to pass verdict, without
argument. We have done all we
could to build up East Tennessee-no
the farmers alone, but every other interest t..
If the R,tral Sun would help us by ex-
pending in some sensible way a part of
the ten thousand dollars appropriated for
the farmers, we would be glad of it. AS
long as two thirds of the fund goes for
salaries the farmers will get poor pay back
for their taxes. Other features of the
Suns answer we will notice hereafter.

slightly at fault,'' in its deduction of the
causes which led to the defeat of EXPIRES

if Senator Cooper was not also loyal to the
Governments Yes, that is true, but he was
never Moses" He had never distin-
guished himself by trying to make treason
odious, aud besides, it wasn't thought
good policy to pat forward straight, out

BROTHER PRICE, of the Holston Metho-
dist, has an editorial on Ministerial Pru-
dence," in which the following occurs:
Wesley was good judge of human ma
ture as well as fine moralist, when he adj
vised his preachers to converse sparingly
with women" How this prudent advice
stands in contrast with the department of
some gallant girl-kissifg preachers of
modern times, who spend more time in
romping and Cabling with fast ladies than
in visiting "the fatherless and widow in
their affliction," and in taking heed to the
them Overseers.
These gallant girl-kissing preachers of
modern tines complained Of in the
Methodist, must be something anomalous,
or we have not observed as closely as
Brother Price has.

In its mockery of light that made the
darkness visible. A crash, followed
by.a spasmodic destruction of dead
bfush, indicated that Prof. Wolford,
had made terms with terra .firnad.
His horse had missteppetl and gone be-
low the road into mass of brush and
stone and mud and water, from which
an exit did not seem promising, until
the parson came to his rescue with a
box ofmatches. These he flashed from
promontory which commanded the
situation, but at each flash, the pros
trate steed snutfed fresh danger, and
snorted terror from his bed of mire.
Even Balaam smote the inky darkness
with his ears, and started tail for emost
up Browder. But the flashes of light
enabled US to see the situation and the
Professor was at length extricated from
very ugly dilema. On we went, in
the waters of Booty. Friend Wood
had little to say, but occasionally ven
ted his fears of fence corners, which
he seemed to think were unpleasant
customers when thrust against the
knee of a nocturnal prowler. In the
midst of this, q huge cedar limb took
the Captain across the nose, and for
while we heard no more of projecting
fence rails. Balam sped easily under
all limbs, and through all such wa
tiers as Booty, and up such hills, as
Dick Mullins uses for saddle rack
We found one Abram Snapp living in
the very abdominal centre of these
hills. A long line of pump logs
brought pure mountain spring to his
front door, where it poured from n.y. !
drant, its silver stream of Gods wills
key. and there our party halted, called |
for light and cup, and drank the pure
nectar for few moments, while the |
Professor sought out the wounds OH
his unfortunate SeliIn. We omit the |
fact that the next sensation was anoth- |
er bottomless gulclI, into which the |
PARSONS morse plunged, and from |
which the Parson emerged with no
girth to his saddle. But he held on |
to that horse We heard It all, but |
seeing anything of it. was. impos-
sible. We pass it by. Nine o'clock |
found us at Mill Point, in the nospita-
bic residence of our excellent host.
We were hungry and cold and ia
tigued. Aye, such food, and comfort
and rest as we found, are seldom found
elsewhere. In the midst of them, we
soon became oblivious to eqinoxial dis
comforts and memories of Browder and |
Booty fled from us for 4 season. At |
this point, Prof Wolford left us, but
we hope to meet him again. He is a
promising and noble young gentleman
and our readers will hear ofhim again
Morning came with floods of sunshine |
and, leaving the good things which
cluster around Mill Point, and promis-
ing to see aud taste them again, we !
took the road to Bristol.
