you with me, as | am particular anxious

Lovingly, MABLE.

Mahle Clifton was ane OF the lowell

Friends had wondered that her
heart had not yielded 10 some of her
many suitors. They did not know that
she had no heart to yeild to any OF

The first season she appeared in the

wealth and position had placed her,
she met Earnest Addison,
He was noble young man, talented,
with hear. and mind alike filed with
true resolve. To Mable he had been
very attentive, and she grew to love
him, feeling sure the time was not far
distant when he would tell her of his
love.
But months rolled by and he spoke
not. Gradually his visits grew less
frequent, until finally they ceased.
What it was that had come between

HOME INFLUENCES.

The homes of people foreshadow the
future of their government AS the twig
is bent the bough grows. AS the minds of
the young are trained and directed the in
tellect and character of the men takes
form. Reveal the home life of the family
and it will not be difficult to predict the fu-
ture of its members. If this be true, how
important that the home influences thrown
about our generation should be watched.
Pass through the streets of our city
at night and see the many idle and vicious
boys spending their time there, and it is
not hard to predict what their future will
I've. Parents can not over estimate the
necessity of throwing about their children
the sacred influences of happy, attractive
home. Send the boys out to the saloon or
street or fast social gatherings to seek pleas
ure or recreation and their downward
race begins. Throw about them
Christian mothers influence; make their
home life so pleasant that they will not
seek recreation in gay, foolish frivolities,
and your hold upon their hearts is secured.
The best of young men and young women
have temptations put in their way, that
sometimes overcome all their good resolves,
but if they have constantly around them
the influences of good home they
may safely be expected to throw them of.
Keep the home influences good and the
battle against wickedness is more than
half won. Undue austerity, unreasonable
parental discipline, cherries home circle,
are often effective in driving children into
the streets and into bad habits. Young
men can be won by mothers
love and a fathers confidence and
good example, to do what no amount of
rigid discipline could drive them to do.
How often do parents repel their chill
dren when they might draw them to
them by kindness and good example. If
we were asked what we most needed to
bring our young men and women to the
standard of goodness and greatness we
want TO make our State as great and pow
erful and influential as it onght to be, we
would say greater effort to throw about
the rising generation the sacred influences
of good homes.

THE CINCINNATI ROAD.

Chief Engineer Gum, of the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad, has made his re-
port of the different routes surveyed. 1t
contains no recommendation as to the best
or cheapest route-nothing upon which an
opinion can be based as to the route likely
to be chosen by the trustees. The facts as
to the character of country through which
the different routes lie, the distances, &C.,
are all familiar to our readers, for we have
discussed the whole subject frequently in
the CHRONICLE.
II is evident, however, from Weights
supplemental bill now before the Ohio
Legislature and from the unquestioned
advantages offered by the Knoxville or
Eastern route, that We will hive connec-
ton with Cincinnati sooner than other
Southern point The Wright bill author
ICES the trustees 10 lei out by contract the
construction and operating of the pro-
posed Southern road. The trustees
know well enough that they can not build,
stock and operate a road from Cincinnati
to Knoxville and Chattanooga for ten
millions of dollars. They do know, how
ever, that with that sum they can contract
for the building and operating of a road
that will give Cincinnati all the advanta-
ges in freights, &C., that she needs. We
feel perfectly safe in saying that the earli-
est Southern connection with Cincinnati
will be VIA Knoxville. The road, will of
course, have other connections, via Chatta-
nooga, but it will be located and built so
that our connection will be the first secur-
ed.
We are informed that work will begin
by June, unless unexpected delays occur.
The trustees are determined 10 push the
work through as vigorously as possible.

THE LATE STORM.
UnpIessan, Here but worse Further North.

In the country the storm ragged with
greater violence than in town, where on
ly few small buildings were blown down
and the roof of Clark, Quaife & Co IS found
ry was blown of.
The tin roof on the Methodist Church
was loosened somewhat and slight damage
done but nothing of serious consequence.
In the second civil district Matthew
Hill, Esq, had the roof of his corn crib
blown off and wagon and buggy broken
that was in an adjoining shed.
On the farm of Andrew McCampbell,
Esq, also of the same district, q large num-
Der of apple trees were blown down, to-
gether with fifty or sixty rods of fencing,
He has lived at his present place of resi-
dence for more than half a century and
says it is the severest storm he ever expe-
rienced.
On the line of the Knoxville and Ohio
Railroad considerable damage was done.
About one hundred and fifty feet of the
covering of the bridge at Clinton was
blown off, while on the farm of John
Woods, near Powelps Station, more than
twenty trees were torn up in his apple
orchard and his barn unroofed by the fury
of the gale. @
One corner of the roof of the house of T..
S. Bounds was sprung by the force of the
wind, alarming him to such an extent for
the safety of his dOmicile that he left and
passed the night at the house of a neigh
Dor, Mr.. McCammon. r
In many parts of the county, the hail
stones were as large as hen eggs and in
places the ground was covered to the depth
Of two or three inches. Persons travelling
were knocked from their horses and lambs
and poultry killed ia the fields and yards.
Mr.. w. G. Wallace returned yesterday
from Granger county, and states that the
storm was the heaviest ever known there.
Nearly every fence has been thrown down,
and large numbers of the finest trees were
torn up by the roots. Fodder stacks were
torn down and the fodder scattered in every
direction.
the recent storm has been one Gf uu-
usual severity, but while ii is so in this
vicinity, the weather has been still more
severe further north. In Chicago we see
by our dispatches that the street cars have
stopped running, and it was with diff
ticulty that the regular trains could pro-
coed while the storm ranged with equal
violence in Missouri.-DaiY, 29th at.

TENNESSEE AT VIENNA.

We have received a letter from General
Wilder, written in New York, in which
he says: 81 have secured at the Vienna
Exposition one hundred feet square of
ground at the main entrance Of the Ameri-
can wing of the building foran independ-
ent canvass pavilion for exhibiting the
productions of Tennessee, and expect to
get free transportation for all articles sent
from Chattanooga to Norfolk, Va. Mr.. r.
L. Wilson offers free frelghts over his
road the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia. 1t will cost about twenty dollars
per ton from New York to Vienna, via
German Lloyds steamers via Bremen, and
/ think the Boards of Trade of Knoxville
aud Chattanooga should pay it. We want
to take at least ten tons OF minerals from
each place, and L wish Mr.. J. b. johnson
would act for me at Knoxville to collect
them from upper East Tennessee above
Loudon, and have them prepared for ship
ment by May LIST, from Norfolk, Va. We
willhave better place to exhibitthan any
State, Let us do justice to ourselves and
have the best exhibition ~ ..IH....
This is matter Tennessee is deeply in
terested in and we trust our people will
second Gen. Wilder's efforts to make our
display a creditable one. No man in the
State is so well suited to superintend this
work, for few have such energy or capacity
and no one is so familiar with the material
interests of the State.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We have frequently expressed our views
as 10 the qualifications desirable IN the
State Superintendent of Education, who
will be called upon to organize the public
school system of Tennessee. The impor-
lance of this great work has been frequent
ly dwelt upon in the CHRONICLE. AS we
have before stated it is not the nero ability
to do the work that is required. We need
in such a place man whose heart
is full of the good cause. We need
man who will throw some enthusi-
asm into the work, who will do more than
execute the mere letter of the law. We
want State Superintendent who has been
identified with the school movement, who
feels the need of education for the people
and who will give his time, his talents and
his whole soul to the great work. The Of
flee was not intended by the people to be a
political one. The appointment was not
vested in the Governor to be dispensed as
a reward for political services. 1t is po-
sition of too much responsibility for any
such use.
We gave in our last issue the news of the
appointment of Hon. Jno. NJ. Fleming as
State Superintendent of Education. No
one who knows Mr.. Fleming will question
MS ability 10 ulscnaTge the duties or the
position if he applies himself thereto.
He has few intellectual superiors amongst
his political associates in this State. We
hope he may have the physical strength,
the administrative ability, and the heart
to prosecute his duties as the times de-
mand. .....
The CHRONICLE has from its first issue,
labored necessarily for good public schools
in Tennessee and Mr.. Fleming will find us
willing and anxious to aid him or any one
else chosen to direct the educational army
of the State. We hope now that schools
have been provided for and a head has
been chosen to direct the work, that the
friends of the cause in every county will
see that good county Superintendent are
chosen on the first Monday of next month
and that we all work tremendously to give
Tennessee thorough and popular free
schools.

THE GOVERNOR s VETO.

Gov. Browns veto of the local option
law, or tipping bill, fills near three col
ums of the Nashville papers. 1t may be
fairly and briefly summed up in these two
points: His first objection to the bill is,
that it was not read three times in each
House as the Constitution directs. His
second objection reaches to the merits of
the bill and he argues and takes the position
that the Legislature can not leave topeople
ola district or ward the right to say whether
or not they want tipping houses with
in the boundaries Of their district or ward
He thinks that granting this privilege of
voting upon licenses is delegation of legis-
lative powers to the people which trans
cends the power of the Legislature, This,
it will be remem bered, is the very identi.
cal question Just decided by the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. AS we understand
that decision, and as it is reported in the
public press, that court expressly held that
granting the people this power Of regulat-
ing, about their own hearthstones, the
right to license tippling houses, Is not
delegation of legislative powers and Is
not unconstitutional. In this respect at
least Governor Brown opposes very re-
spectacle jurists on question of constitu-
tional law. tits unfortunate that this very
important question could not have been
passed upon by our Supreme Court, men
better versed on constitutional authorities
than GOV. Brown, whose legal abilities are
VIGOROUSLY not Of superior character.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-04-02

WE understand that some time ago,
Gov. Brown was approached by member
of the Legislature to know whether he
would feel called upon to veto bill that it
was alleged had not passed the two Houses
in the mode prescribed by the Constitu-
ton. He replied that he did not think he
could go back on the signatures of the
Speakers of the two Houses. 1t seems,
however, from the CHRONICLES special
from Nashville, that in the case of the local
option bill he changed his mind and We
toed it. Men will change their minds.

THE newspaper press generally are not
ing with much pleasure, that Vice-Presi-
dent Wilson has just invited Gen. Gordon,
of Georgia, to temporarily preside over the
Senate, and mention it as gratifying evil
dence that the bloody chasm" is being
bridged. This is not the first instance of
the kind as stated. Gen. Ransom, of North
Carolina, Major General in the Confed-
crate army has repeatedly been called to
preside over the Senate for more than a
year, by Vice-President Colfax.

THE work on the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad will soon begin. a late telegram
from Cincinnati says:
VIM. A. Gum, engineer, made report
to the trustees, of the surveys Of the South
ern Railroad, between Cincinnati and
Chattanooga. Three thousand miles of sur
vey has been made, but only 1900 miles
reported. There are twenty-six combina-
tione of routes. A start is made from Gin
cinnati by twc routes. The State line of
Tennessee is crossed with four; Chatta-
nooga is entered with three routes. The
distances between Cincinnati and Chatta-
nooga vary from 324 to 374 miles. The
extreme distance between the eastern and
western routes is rs miles. The eastern
route is by Coal Creek Station; and the

THE Rural San of Nashville processes to
be an agricultural paper, published in the
interest of the farmers. 1t has been ably
and impartially conducted, but in one or
two of the later numbers we notice articled
of political character, which are certainly
uncalled for, and which will detract from
its usefulness. Why break down the inilu-
ence of an agricultural paper by dragging
it into politics If it must discuss politi-
cal questions its Household Department
is the last department in which we would
expect to find such articles.

RECENT developments have served

RECENT developments have served to
strengthen a sentiment in favor of chang
ing the mode by which United States SEN
ators are elected or providing such restric-
lions as will check certain corrupt tenden-
cies of the age. 1t is well settled fact
that all who aspire to this high and honor
able position are not honest and patriotic.
In some of the States at least the means
used to secure an election to the Senate
are simply those resorted to by small
politicians TO secure minor offices,
except they are on a larger and more ex-
tensive scale. There are number of men
in the Senate who, if report be true, have
bought their seats in that body. The cleo
ton of Senators in many instances has
eliminated in petty scrarnbles that would
disgrace the election of an Alderman in a
fifth rate country town. If such scenes
can be banished from our country it
will be well and the Senate will
command the respect due it. Whether
the remedy lies in taking the election from
corrupt Legislatures and having it to come
directly before the people, or whether some
other method will prove more efficacious,
we will not undertake to say. In our
opinion there is, however, a reform de-
manded,
