Cholera at Blue Springs.
NIosHEIM, July

MosHETM, July 2lst, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: / cannot refrain
from giving you a short account of the suf-
ferings of a family that lived near Midway,
in Greene county, Tenn.
The family of j. G. Hahn consisted of
himself, wife and four little children,
whose names appear below. The first vic
tim of cholera in this family was Thomas,
who was about seven years old. He died
on Friday morning last, after a short ILL
ness. He was buried by the charity of the
people who lived near them. Thomas Car
nell, q neighbor, visited the family on Sat
urday morning, and the scene he witness
ed there will not soon be forgotten. Mr..
Hahn was watching his dying wife. Rich
ard, boy of six years, was watching his
little brother John, of two summers, Tho
was also thought by Mr.. Carnell to be dy-
ing. Mr.. c. went Immediately for assist
ance. When he returned, he found Mrs.
Hahn dead and laid out by her weeping
husband. He took her measure and hast
ened to the shop, to have her coffin made.
This done, he again returned, only to find
little Johnny dead, and hastened to pro-
vide a coffin for him. He agained
returned to the house of suffering,
where he found but one, little Eliza, that
was well. His heart was so moved with
sympathy that he gatherd little Eliza in
his arms and carried her to his own home,
thinking that by so doing she might es-
cape the disease. About 4 o'clock Richard
died.
1t is proper to state that Mr.. Keebler and
family, and others, after hearing of the
great sufferings of this family did their
whole duty in dressing and burying the
dead. Thomas was buried on Friday
evening and Mrs. Hahn and her two chill
dren were buried in one wide, deep grave
on Sunday morning. But this is not all.
Eliza, though taken to neighbours house
was attacked with cholera on Saturday
night. On Sunday morning Mr.. Hahn
left the dead bodies of his wife and two
children, and went to Mr.. Carnelrs ia
tigued, overcome with grief and attacked
with cholera. His pleadings over his sick
child my pen cannot tell. 1t is thought,
however, that he and his child, who are
properly cared for by the good people of
Midway, will recover.
Mrs. John RAIDER, of Blue Spring, died
from cholera yesterday evening.
No new cases to-day to my knowledge.
There have been eighteen deaths from
cholera at Blue Spring and near Midway.

4 CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times has taken some pains to figure up
the postage a member Of Congress will
have to pay to supply his constituents with
Agricultural Reports, census reports and
other important public documents that
will be printed hereafter as they have been
heretofore. If such postage bills are paid
the increase of salary will not amount to
much of "grab -
If, therefore, the demands Of constituents
continue as heretofore, and Congress does
not reduce the number printed, a member
will not acquit himself well who does not
spend fully 81 900 of his increased paw in
disseminating information among his con-
stituents during his term. As an illustra-
ton, take the Report on Agriculture The
quota of member is not less than $50 cop
les. 1t costs an average of thirty-three
cents per copy for the postage, so that the
total postage on the quota would be S247.
Every member is called upon by his con-
stituents for this book. Each member is
entitled to twenty-three sets of the census
report, in five volumes. The postage on
each set amounts to S4.l0, or $3.50 for the
whole, and every copy is in demand. Each
member gets twenty-four sets of the Globe,
a very valuable addition to any political
students library, the postage on which
edition of the EOrty-second Congress, seven
vOlumes-is S5.05 per set, or Sl37.2S for the
quota. These facts carry their own sug-
gestions. Either Congress must largely
reduce the number and quotas of books II
orders printed, or Congressman must spend
their increased pay for postage.

Excursion.

Col. J. B. Nicely, Contractor on the
Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, who has for
some months been working large num-
Der of hands in grading and relaying the
track from Clinton to Powell's Station, ex-
tended an invitation to the young ladies
and gentleman of Clinton to take an ex-
cursion over his road on Wednesday. At
twelve o'clock they assembled at the de-
pot, and about one o'clock left for
Powelrs Station. On arriving at the
place designated, we found tables abund-
antly filled with refreshments, which
were prepared and furnished gratis
by. Col. Nicely. After partaking of lux
uriant dinner, the party repaired to the
grove and amused themselves by playing
croquet and other games. About o'clock
the party returned to Clinton, well pleased
with their days enjoyment, and they all
wish-especially the ladies--that there
were more such generous gentlemen about
Clinton as Mr.. Nicely.
This is an excellent place for a picnic
and everybody present seemed to enjoy
themselves splendidly. Your correspond
ent was present and participated in the
joys of the occasion. Yours,
Clinton, Tenn, July %, 1873.

OUR dispatches announce that prior to
his departure for Europe, A. T. Stewart,
the merchant prince of New York, made a
will disposing of one hundred millions of
dollars worth of property. This vast sum
of money has all been earned and accumu-
lated by Stewart himself. Unlike many
other rich men of New York, he inherited
no part of his money. Vanderbilt controls
to-day two thousand miles of railroad, over
which must pass large part of the pro-
duce and travel of the great West.
This railroad is double-track, running
from Chicago to New York through the
richest parts of four great States. His in
come from this grand monopoly is forty
five millions of dollars year! His en-
ployees are numbered by the thousand and
the interests he controls aggregate mil
lions. He holds legislators and judges in
his power and disregards with contempt
the rights and interests of the people.
The ease and rapidity with which
such men as Stewart and Vanderbilt
accumulate their millions suggests
possible dangers with which our
people must soon contend. We do our
business on such extravagant scales that
there would seem to be no limit to the
wealth an INSCRIPTIONS, ambitious man
may accumulate. There is, however, a
limit to the powers he can use. The peo-
pie are, in this country, the source of all
power. They can unmake present consti-
tutions and laws, and make new ones that
will serve toiprotect them against their op-
pressors. They can render VanderbiIt's
two thousand miles of railway com.
paratively Improbable. He may water
its stock from thirty-five to one hundred
and fifteen millions in order to enable him
to pay dividends, which would otherwise
be illegal, but the people have it in their
power to cut off his revenues and make his
property SO hazardous as long as it con-
Cinues to Cypress them, that he may be
glad to give them the privileges and pro-
lection to which they are entitled. We do
not see but that we have remedies against
such consultations. The time may not be
far off, and We hope it is, when desperate
remedies will be called into use, but it is
well enough for interested parties TO I'M
derstand that they exist, to be used when
ever necessary.

Cable Charges,

I ascertained that the Atlantic cable is
not employed more than sixteen hours out
of the twenty-four, being idle one third of
the time. Weeannot wonder at this VIII en-
the enormous charge Of six shillings ster-
ling per word is exacted for messages.
The company are realizing nearly GGOO
sterling per day on an average. Were the
monopoly of landing cables on these shores
removed, half a dozen new cables would
speedily be laid down, and the tariff would
be reduced to a third of the present
CHARGES Newfoundland Later.

Bnpxrille M'Feklu Chronicle
THE WAR IN SPAIN.

The news from Spain indicates a pro-
tracted and severe civil war, the result of
which can not now with safety be predict
ed. Don Carlos with considerable pomp,
made his entry into Spanish territory, and
according to the latest advices was being
received with enthusiasm and evidence of
considerable popular support. His forces
are said to number ten thousand, but such
an army unless of extraordinary worth. or
led by unusual ability would amount to
but little as against government
representing sixteen millions of people.
Don Carlos, it is said, has now the support
eof the English and French Governments.
President Mcmahon has probably as much
on hand to sustain his own authority as he
wants, without mixing up with Spanish
politics. England is watching Russia
with more interest than Spain. The
church influences will be strong to rein
state the monarchists, and, through it,
France may be goaded to do what she
otherwise would consider it impolitic to
do.
By the cable dispatches in this issue
OF the CHRONICLE, it will be seen that
the Republic is pressing the war with vigor.
1t proposes to treat as pirates the seamen
who espouse the cause of the insurgents
and authorizes their capture on the high
seas and treatment as pirates. The new
government has much to contend against
armed enemies in the field, and the sui
len Alfonsists ready to strike whenever
opportunity is afforded. The war will be
destructive if not vigorous, and likely to
leave Spain still poorer and feebler than
ever-a prey likely to some of the aspiring
powers of Western Europe.

EMPLOYMENT FOR FowLs.-To keep
fowls from eating eggs and each others
feathers, and to keep them in health give
them something to do. There will gener-
ally be no trouble about feather-eating
when fowls have their liberty all the
while and are well-fed, and the same is
true of egg-eating, But when it is neces-
sary TO confine them, the owner should
make 1t his study to keep them at work
One good method is to cover their yard,
when not in grass, with some sort of litter,
straw, leaves, cornstalks, salt, hay, sea-
weed, vegetable tops, etc., and then scat
ter gralu over this frequently, and cover
most of it. This will necessitate scratch
ing" for it, and they will undertake it
without any further urging.

WASHINGTON.
staying Proeeedings Against Knkiuxing

WASHINGTON, July PA delegation of
prominent officials from South Carolina,
consisting of Hon. n. d. Porter, Gen. j. b.
Kershaw, r.. NJ. Sims and S. Durham, ac-
companied by Assistant Secretary Sawyer,
of the Treasury, this morning waited upon
Attorney General Williams, and request
ing that all proceedings in that State with
reference to the outrages of the kuklux
klans be suspended, and urging the par
don OF those already confined in the AL
bany penitentiary. They represent that
as an organization the khan has ceased to
exist in the State and that lenient policy
on the part of the Government will tend to
restore peace and quiet. Attorney General
Williams informed them that it was the
policy of the Government to prosecute only
the aggravated cases., and orders having
already been given to that effect, and that
as soon as the President was fully satisfied
that peaceable citizens would be protected
in their property and life, a general sus>
pension of prosecution would be desirable.
He also informed the delegation that a
good many of the kulSluX prisoners had
already been pardoned, and that pardons
would be issued to the others, and the
more aggravated cases are being detained
until the last. The delegation was much
pleased with the encouragement given by
the Attorney General. The delegation
will visit Long Branch and have an inter-
view with President Grant.
