HOW IT EFFECTS WORKING MEN.

The general suspension of work in the
shops of the manufacturing districts con
tinues. The Philadelphia correspondent
of the New York Times says "The adj
vices received here every morning bring
fresh announcements Of the closing of
mills, and numerous are these now be-
coming that no surprise is created. Sym
pathy, however, is expressed for the hands
thus suddenly deprived of employment,
and the question what shall be done to
help them bear the sufferings they must
necessarily endure this winter, is daily at.
tracing more attention. The appearance
presented as one walks through the streets
is lamentable, for thousands of people are
to be seen standing about idle. Nearly all
the mills are closed, and the few that are
still at work are finishing up the orders, and
running on half time at that. At present
the operatives seem hardly to realize theiI
position, and il is aquestion whether they
will do so for q week or two to come, as
most of them have few dollars on hanC
on which they can live short time. They
too, are in hopes tibet before their little
stock is exhausted business will improve
aud the mills be set at work again in max
ing up stock for spring use. Unless some
improvement takes place beyond what il
looked for at this moment, 1t Is thought
that every mill in the districts named mus
shut down within the next fortnight. Their
is every disposition manifested by tbs
mill-owners to continue work until the
latest moment, and thus give relief to thei
hands and keep them together

To Lovers of Science.

Why is it that so littleattention is paid to
the promotion of science in East Tennes-
see? Have we no lovers of the beautiful
in nature among us? or, ale we too selfish
to devote a small portion of our time to the
promotion and development of scientific
attachments which would be conducive to
the intellectual progress of our race?
Even the young State of Kansas is
ahead of us having an academy ofscience
which meets several times year at differ.
ent places, where citizens open their doors
to those laboring for the public good with
out hope of earthly gain.
Do our acts speakimuch for our boosted
civilization? We have certainly been
grovelling in selfiishncss long enough, and
l propose making one of one hundred
lovers of science in East Tennessee, who
will give one dollar year for the forma
ton OF an East Tennessee Academy o
Science, and would name William Rule a.
temporary Secretary and Treasurer there
of. Who speaks next?

THE New York Times special report
from the boot and shoe manufactures of
Massachusetts, is not idiscouraging. The
correspondent says:
The leading centres of the boot and shoe
trade are here at Lynn, where they make
what are known as "women's, misses, and
children's goodsn of serge or prunella,
principally for the South and West. AS
to production and, / may say, active COM
petition, Lynn heads the list. Her oper-
atives number some 10000 and her sales
amount to from Sl3,000,0O0 to 1000 900 a
year. Hayerhill makes SS,000,O00 or So
100000 worth of the same class of goods
1t has been reported that these 10000
men were thrown out of work and all the
mills suspended. This the correspondent
says is true, but from time immemorial it
has been the custom to close the factories
for cleaning and repairing in April and
November. The present suspension was
not therefore the result of the panic. The
great Boston fire, in which about S10,0OO,-
900 worth of leather and supplies was de,
stroyed has cut short the trade this year.
The report says:
The production of Massachusetts during
1872 was estimated at 7S000,000 pairs OF
boots and shoes, valued at sos, 100000, the
total production of the New England
States only being 94,OOO,OOO pairs. Mr..
Bond thinks the production of 1873 may
prove to be about twelve or fifteen per cent
less than that of 1872; but this decrease O.
| production, to meet very fair demand
fortunately left the manufacturers with
| very light stocks to encounter the panic
| They will, therefore, be able in December
unless the financial storm absolutely re fuse
to blow over, to go in for a lively trade il
| the Spring.

THERE is treason in the atmosphere
thick and black. Even the Memphis DIP
peal speaks of the Democratic party as one
of the "eflete organizations that have since
1861 been going through the process of dis
solution and decomposition" 1t thinks
a new party is to be evolved from the "ef-
fete organizations" referred to. 1t says:
The materials for such a party are at
hand in every county in the States, and
the organization of the Oranges is the
proper process TO OBJECT that unity of action
and of purpose which give political parties
successful working capacity.
If the East Tennessee Oranges should
bring out Col Charlton for Congress, as
the Athens Post intimates, it would give
this material" a chance to show its
strength.

THE Nashville Union and timer

THE Nashville Union and Americaa
says:
In late speech, Gen. Toombs advocates
the necessity of holding a convention TO
reform the existing constitution of Geor-
gia, which was made by carpet .baggers
and scalawags against the idears and wish
es of the people. The terms of holding
Office are said TO be too long, and for the
benefit of corrupt men, who buy places of
trust and honor and hold them for selfish
purposes as long as possible, ii is propos-
ed to elect members of the Legislature
every year and the Governor for two years
The Democratic press of the State appears
TO favor this movement. The Savannah
Ners says the Legislature should be elect
ed in October and meet in November, CIV
ing little time for corrupt lobby influence
by rings before laws are enacted

years, had Democratic Governor and

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DOT

One of the results of the present finan-
cial depression will be strong pressure on
Congress to do something which will af-
ford immediate relief to the country.
Every one seems to entertain the opinion
that Congress must and will do something.
Most people have a very vague idea as to
what should be done, however. There
will be a strong party in both
houses in favor of expansion.
They will favor an increase in the
volume of currency. Among these will be
found our own Senator, Hon. w. q,
Brownlow. 1t will be remembered that he
wrote letter on the 3Oth day Of April last,
to Hon. Henry T. Blow, and others, of st.
Louis, in reply to an invitation to attend a
Congressional excursion party gotten up
by that city, the closing paragraph OF
which letter is as follows:
1--WE need about five hundred millions OF
greenbacks added to our present circula-
ton to enable us to meet the wants of COM
merce and trade"
This is all of the letter bearing
Immediately on that subject, but
this is clear and explicit, as all
stood. He has not changed his mind on
that subject, but still adheres to his former
convictions. He has always entertained
similar views, so that he will certainly be
found voting with those who want more
currency.
In the House, Hon. w. d. Kelly will
be found amongstthe most influential mem
bers, closest thinkers and hardest workers.
He has recently expressed himself in favor
of expansion of the currency, if he
has been correctly reported. He represents
a large manufacturing interest, and his
views will command attention. There are
others in both Houses, who think the same
way,
At the same time, there are men in both
the Senate and House who will take strong
ground against such measure. They will
oppose it with all their power, and we may
well conclude that the question will be one
of the most interesting of the session.
What will be done remains to be seen.

THE particulars of the outrageous steal
ing by Paul Cicalla, the acting Mayor of
Memphis, during part of time the yellow
fever prevailed in the city, the details of
which we give in another column, calls for
the severest punishment which can be in
fiicted under the law. 1t terrible to think
that at such time city official would
steal the bread and meat provided by the
generosity of the nation for the widows
and orphans.

THE coal miners of Pittsburgh, Pa, at a
recent convention representing workmen
from an extended district, resolve, in view
of the distressed condition of the finances
of the country to go to work at reduced
pay. In the convention the opinion was
expressed that this was bad time to in
sist upon the highest wages when tens of
thousands of workmen could not find en-
ployment at any price.

THE decrease in the receipts of foreign
dry goods in this country since the finan-
cial depression set in, is very great. The
decrease at New York alone in the last ten
months, is said to amount to Sl0000,000.
The falling off in the next six months will,
in all probability be much greater Our
people are economizing, and if we can
keepup the exports as in the past, the bal
ance, in our favor will be an important
item.

BY reference to an editorial from the
Nashville Bulletin, which We reproduce
elsewhere, it will be seen that eX-Comp-
troller Hobbs has been paying one of his
competitors three thousand dollars, the in
ference being that it is for yielding the
track to him in the race before the Legis-
lature. He sold out for twelve thousand,
however and the transaction is a paying
one. And yet the Democratice press
of Tennessee would have the people be-
lieve that all its leaders and Office holders
are pure men, and that all who oppose
them are thieves and robbers. If the peo-
pie of Tennessee do not investigate and
act upon this -peddling gang who
now hold the State Capitol next summer,
then we are mistaken.

THE name Of Col. John II. Savage is
suggested by a correspondent of the Nc
NIinnville NcJO Era, as the Democratic
candidate for Governor in 1874, His bitter
and intemprrate denunciations of Andy
johnson Democrats in the last canvass,
would make him rather bitter pill for
them to take. We would be willing to
wager a coon skin that his party dare not
nominate him, and if they should, another
that he cannot be elected Governor.
