DANGEROUS NUISANCE IN JERSEY CITY.

For some months past every person who has
passeds within quarter OF mile OF the slaughter
house and guano factory on the boundary line be-
tween Jersey City and Hoboken has been CON-
PEELED TO guard against immediate sickness OF
stomach, owing to an intolerabe stencil that
emanates from that quarter. Complaints have
been made by hundreds OF persons, many Of whom
have been taken sick while passing, but so far not
the slightest heed has been paid to the earnest
appeals OF the people who suffer. Disease has be-
come prevalent in the neighboring houses, owing
to the noxious vapors constantly dissipated by the
rendering and bone refining processes. II the
health authorities persist in their negligence to In
dnce the owners OF the nuisance to adopt some
measures for the relief OF the neighborng inhab-
itants. the matter will be brought under the Chan
cellor's notice.

A VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.

By reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that Jno. l.. Moses, Esq,
Secretary and Treasury of the Knoxville
and Ohio Railroad, advertises for proposals
for masonry grading, &C., necessary for
the reduction Of the grade in that road from
Flint Ridge to Clinch River. We under
stand that if suitable contracts can be
made the work will be commenced at once
and pushed to an early completion. 1t
will probably be finished before the LIST of
June. The contemplated change will en-
able the company, with the same motive
power, to increase the daily delivery OF
coal at Knoxville, at least one-third and
will make the road first class
as to grade. from Caireyville to Heiskell's.
Weare glad to see the company considering
an Improvement of so much value to them
selves and so important, not only to Knox
vile, but to all other communities suppli-
ed with coal from this source.

BEEF CATTLE
There has been slight improvement in the
demand for beef cattle since our last report.
Good grades particularly sell readily at outside
quotations. The lower grades are less active
but in fair demand. No change has occurred in

short while Noshipments have yet been made,
and our quotations are the prices paid by our city
butchers. Eg

COLORADO, with her splendid climate,
her silver mines and her rich country and
eminently picturesque scenery, is knock
ing at the door of Congress for admission
into the Union as State. Fortunat ely
Grace Greenwood has taken fancy to
that favored territory, and with her facile
pen is doing much to bring it to public at
tentioD. In recent letter, speaking of
the inhabitants, she says:
1t is composed of brave women and pref
ty fair men, and of the most dashing, dar-
ing, wide-awake boys and girls on the con-
tinent. In the mountains are miners OF
the best quality, the unsettled and ventur-
Gus sort, pushing westward to the more
tempting treasure fields of Utah and Ne
vada. Along the river courses and in the
towns are the very pick of Eastern agri-
culturists, mechanics and railroad men.
There is great deal Of social refinement
and intellectual culture among the women
of Colorado, that would show well, even at
a Washington reception; and there are
men in any one of the Colorado colonies
who might stand up against the best
eleven of the Forty second Congress and
be bold.

SOME jackanapes acting as correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier-JournaI at
Nashville, shows his ignorance of Tonnes
see affairs frequently. In recent letter
he writes at length about the Home Min
eral Railroad" and boasts eXtravagantly
of the large saving TO the State, and what
Tennessee owes Democracy" for it. We
have had occasion heretofore to speak of
the manner in which Tennessee's railroad
interests have been protected (?) under
Democratic misrule, and our readers, as
we'll as the people generally, are too well
posted to require any further presentation
of the subject. We don't know who this
correspondent is, but unless he is better
posted on matters generally than he is about
railroad affairs, he would do well to turn
his attention to something else than writ
ing letters for newspapers.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The question of compulsory education is
being extensively agitated in various Sec
tions of this country. Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher has recently delivered an adj
dress, in which he takes bold grounds in
favor of such proposition. He takes the
ground, that as education is help to in
dustry. cit is therefore clear that whatever
tends to raise the standard of production In
society can but be regarded as of transcen-
dent importance. Hence political econo-
mists are begning to learn how important
is the education of the whole people
as means of producing wealth"
Then he puts the case: For self defense
and for continued existence, the State has
a right to secure that amount of knowl-
edge that shall make good citizens" These
views are concurred in by large number
of the best and ablest men in this country.
They have arrived at this point after long
and careful observation. They have inves'
tigated the question in all its bearings
and think they are sustained in the posi-
ton taken, by every sound principle of po
litical economy, to say nothing OF human
ity.
This question will continue to be agl
tated. 1t will be discussed until all thu
people are alive to the issues, and no one
can tell what a few years may bring forth
The question of compulsory education /;
one of the most interesting now before the
Constitutional Convention of Pennsylva
MIA. 1t will be before legislative bodies il
other States. 1t will be agitated from The
pulpit and from the forum. The day may
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1873-01-29

come when ignorance will no longer be re-
garded as mere misfortune, but will be
considered as in the nature of crime.
Weare not prepared to take ground either
fororagainst compulsory education, butitis
certainly better than compulsory ignorance
as we have experienced in this State, and
it will be well for us to adopt measures
whereby a liberal common school educa-
ton will be placed within reach of all.
Then If compulsory laws are adopted no
one can offer as an excuse for not sending
his children to school, that he has not had
q fair opportunity.

II is amusing to see how Memphis Is
excited on the subject of "spiritualism."
Quite a number of persons profess to have
direct intercourse with departed spirits.
A year or two ago, Rev. Samuel Watson, a
distinguished minister of the Me. Church,
South, residing in that city, published a
remarkable book with the remarkable IT,
tie 1.-THE Clock Struck One" In Decem-
Der, his brethren in the church found fault
with the authors marvellous theory touch

he has formally withdrawn from the
church, and now threatens to write
another book giving his views further Oh
the much talked of subject. Just a few
days ago, the renowned Foster was in that
city practicing on the gullibillty
of those who were willing tt
see and hear him. Since his appearance
there, number of correspondents have
ventilated the subject of Spiritualism, Pre-
and con, through the columns of the news

Senator BrOWnlOW.

Under the head of PERSONAL" the
Memphis Appeal says:
For some days the health of Senator
Brownlow has been seriously worse than
for several months past. The severity OF
winter in Washington has taxed to the
utmost many stouter physical frames than
his, and now, while he still lives, know
ing him more thoroughly than many who
have written most harshly of him, he may
rest assured that at least one lifelong po-
litical and partisan enemy may survive to
do justice to his character. Even now it
is not improper to say that, amid all the
corruption that at one time cursed the Gov
eminent of Tennessee, and now befouls
the atmosphere at Washington, Senator
Brownlow's honest personal fame is stain
less. -' .--'c

THE verdict of thu jury in the Stokes
case and the recent decision of the Court
of Appeals in the case of Foster, the ruff
tianly car hook murderer, begins to look
like criminals may get justice, even in

impress q certain class with correct ideas
about the value and sacredness of human
life as well as the just penalties of the law.
