AMONG the leading supporters ofthe propo-
sltion to innate the currency In the coming
session OF Congress will be Senator Brown
low, Of Tennessee. In April last he wrote a
letter to the Hon. II. T. Blow, OF Missouri, In
reply 10 an invitation to attend q Congress
sional excursion party gotten up In st.
Louis, the closing paragraph Of which was
as follows
ave need about Ave nundred millions Of
greenbacks added TO our present circulation TO
enable US TO meet the wants OF commerce and
trade"
He has not changed his mind regarding
this important subject since the date Of that
letter, and still adheres to the convictions
and opinions therein announced. In ad-
yocating them, as he certainly will In his seat
In the Senate, he will be supported by nearly
every Southern and Western member Of Con-

CAPTAIN JOSEPH Fry, the commander of
the Inflated steamer Virginius, who was,
with the entire crew OF that vessel, so foully
murdered at Santiago de Cuba by the Span
ish authorities, leaves large family, who ART
reported to be In destitute circumstances.
AZ this time, while the public feeling Is stirred
by Indignation at the murder and moved with
sympathy for the victims, II would be fitting
to start public subscription for the families
Of the men who were so summarily executed,
and particularly appropriate that such a

Capt. Fry. We earnestly COMMEND this

When people talk about millionaires
they usually mention Rothschild first, but
there is man in England by the name of
Ward, in comparison. with whom any
Rothschild is pauper. This man Ward
inherits vast property, with accumulated
investments and estates, which give him
magnificent house in London, the finest
collection of art, and the finest country
seats in the Kingdom; his wife is celebrat-
ed for her beauty, and her display of dia-

ing to their own affairs, to be treated with
worse that military violence and assaulted
with clubs, while the vilest epithets are
applied to them. If citizens are to be
thus treated, it is time there was change,
and if they are, instead, to be protected,
| it is time there was a reorganization of the
police force.
| Last Saturday night Policeman Ryan,
| in making an arrest, called on railroad
engineer named George TOoker, for as
sistance, but he not being at leisure excused
himself, when, a few minutes afterwards,
Ryan met him, and after torrent of oaths
and obscenity, struck him severe blow
with his baton.
A crowd soon collected ON the street,
near Kibler's saloon, the scene of the af.
fair, among whom were several railroad
men, where in response to the question as
to who it was "had struck Tooker?" Mr..
Unkts, another engineer replied, designat-
ing Ryan, who was near him, as the party
in question. This appeared to enrage that
officer very much, and stepping up to
Unkts, he asked him in bullying manner
if he "took it up?" ending with another
string of expletives, if possible more offen-
sive than that which he used toward Took
er. tfR ft-5g.I 11e
Unkts replied that he didn't want to have
anything to do with the matter, but it was
of noavail, for Ryan Immediately struck
him heavy blow on the head, getting
very much excited and walked back and
forth like Gagged animal, denouncing the
crowd in the most violent manner and it
was with great difficulty his friends sue
ceeded in soothing his anger.
The two men so wantonly assaulted are
known to be peaceable and orderly, and
why. they should have been set upon and
so abused is impossible to conceive. This
is not the first instance of ruffianism and
violence OIL the part of Ryan, but it should
be the last. A friend of

are as stated, he should be removed from
the police force, and better man given

NASHVILLE, June IL, 1873.-Whereas
The following paragraph having appeared
in an article in the Union and american
aOf 5th inst, viz:
"Gov. Brown, we believe, is absent from
the city, but it is due to him to say that
hearing recently that the Agricultural
Bureau had voted, what seemed to him,
exorbitant salaries in proportion to the
amount appropriated by the State, he at
once communicated with the officers of
the Board in order that they might rectify
any mistakes that they had made in that
particular"
And feeling that said paragraph does
gross injustice to the Bureau of Agricul-
ture therefore,
NOT TO BE sEDUCED OR DRIVEN.
Resolued, That the members of the Bu-
reau of Agriculture feel impressed with
the responsibility Of the duties devolving
upon them, and they will not under any
circumstances allow themselves to be
driven or seduced from faithful discharge
of those duties. Being conscious of the
that their labors shall vindicate their con-
duet in every particular.
Resoloed, That in the judgment of the
bureau there is no valid reason for recon
sidering their action, or any part thereof,
heretofore taken in regard to the salaries
of its officers. @
j. Resolved, That the assaults recently
made on the Bureau of Agriculture, by
certain political papers of the State, with
the evident design of coupling the action
of the Bureau with the interest or man
agement of the RuraI Sun paper, are en-
tireIy gratuitous and unfounded in fact,
and can only spring from some hidden
motives.
NONE OF THE GOVERNORS BUSINESS.
Resolved, That his Excellency, Gov. John
G.. Brown, has nothing to do with the
management of the "Bureau of Agricul
ture," and he is in no way responsible for
its action.

From different parts of the country we
learn that the wheat crop will turn out by
far better than has been expected. Al
though thin and scattering on the ground,
yet the wheat is of very fine quality.
Some heads of fine wheat from the farm
of Geo. Weaver, on Beaver Greek, has
been placed on onr table. If there is much
such wheat on Beaver Greek, we will have
good surplus this summer. Our infor-
nation is, that the wheat is filling out
much better than was expected, and we
predict more than half of last years crop
