Cigar Mandatory.

We call attention TO the advertisement
OF Messrs. Esperandieu & Co., in another
column, Few people in Knoxville, we.
imagine, have any very correct idea of the
magnitude of this business. 1t was com.
menced several years ago by Mr.. 4. f. Is
perandieu, who continued it for some time
without much encouragement. Some
thing more than year ago, additional
capital was put into the business, and il
was pushed with vigOr. The result has
met with the most sanguine expectations.
OF the gentlemanly proprietors. and now
the business is fixed on a firm basis. From.
hve to ten thousand cigars per month,
they now manufacture more than one
hundred thousand per month, Twelve
hands are employed in the different
branches of cigar making, while two more
are engaged in making boxes. The whole
establishment bears the appearance of safe
hrst-class business, and we confess our sur
prise at its extent, 1t was first opened at the
corner of State and Cumberland streets
This building was found too small to aC-
commodate their fast growing business
and they have just moved to Cav street
between Cumberland and Maine. next
door to Akin d COflman's. The first
iioOr Is neat retail room, where cloors
pipes, smoking and chewing tobacco of ali
grades and smokers material generoIIv
may be found. On the second floor il n
wholesale room, where something near ono
hundred and fifty thousand cigars are now
in store.

NASHVILLE AFFAIRS.

Senator Lacey, of Shelby county, who
was elected Speaker of the Senate OH Tues
day, came to Memphis about eleven years
ago from Missouri. He was at one time II
member of the Legislature, and conse-
quently has had some experience i'll Legis-
lative matters. He is sound on the vital
questions of finance, schools and immigra-
ton, and is in full sympathy with the pro-
grcssive features that mark the present
age. He was elected to the Senate as an
Independent Johnson Democrat anu will
lie found a liberal in the true meaning of
the term. He was fairly nominated for
Congress in the Democratic primary cleo
tions last summer but was cheGted out of
the nomination in convention by Ian
don c. Haynes and his strikers.
lie Is fine looking man, very
we'll posted in parliamentary law and
viii make IL most capital officer lie is
ar gely engaged in mercantile pursuits in
Memphis. and his ability and experience
i'll fl financial matters may prove of great
benefit to the State. We congratulate the
libe raj, progressive, anti-bourbon clemen
of the State upon his election.
Adviees from Nashville represent the
Republican members of the Senate as fully
equal to the opposition in good judgment
and appearance, and must have great
weight in the Legislature. The same may
be said of the House. Republicans will
compare hvorably with all others for
capacity, general intelligence and legsa-
tive ability.
The Johnson man of the House, with
three or four exceptions, voted for Houk for
Speaker. Mr.. Jeup, the German member
from Davidson, was strong for him and,
it is said, will act with the Republicans
throughout.
The election of Mr.. McGaughey, of
Greene, as Speaker of the House is rather
unexpected, we presume. He is a gentle
man of honesty and integrity. His popu-
larity will be conceded, when it is known
that he was elected as a Johnson Demo.
crat from the Republican countyof Greene.
HI is liberal in his views and is unobjec
tionable to Republicans. We commend
the spirit displayed by Judge Houll and
the Republicans in making concessions fol-
the defeat of the bourbon Democrat.
Judge Houk made highly creditable
race, His we'll known ability fitted him
in high degree for the position, and his
friends might have put off the election foI
days to come by adhereing to him, but
they generously gave way, showing dis
position to stand by principles rather than
men. The Legislature is now organized
and the people expects it to proceed
| promptly to business

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message of Governor Brown is de-
cided advance upon any State or public
document ever before published by him.
The reader that cannot see in it how COM
plete was the triumph of liberalism over
bourbonism in the late election is not very
familiar with the Governors former views.
While not agreeing with him in the de-
tails of some of the policies he advocates
we are glad to say that as a whole his mes
sage is satisfactory evidence of the de-
cided advance of progressive Republican
ideas since he last addressed General AS
sembly of this State. we are sorry that
our space will not permit US to make full
extracts from the principal subjects he
discusses. We, however, gave our readers
satisfactory synopsis Of the message by
telegraph On Friday. Notable amongst
his recommendations are the legislation he
advises to perfect our school laws, to pro-
vide for better public roads and to induce
immigration. These three measures the
| CHRONICLE has discussed so fully so many
l'times that we now feel called upon to do
no more than simply urge the legislation
| necessary upon our friends in the Assem-
| bly,. We sincerely believe it is an error to
tritie longer with the present county school
system, but if the Legislature should think
otherwise and will give additional powers
and facilities to those charged with exc
cutting it, it will be better than the law we
have now. His recommendations in ref
erence to the public highways are general
and need no comment. His scheme for
changing the law of assessments is, in our
judgment, too cumbersome, but, as the evil
to be remedied is such a crying one, we
believe some appropriate legislation will
be forthcoming. On the question of the
funding of the public debt and OH amend
ments to the criminal laws, we shall have
more TO say hereafter.

THE taxpayers of Knoxville are not
willing to keep up a real estate ring that
grows rich at public expense by construct
ing streets with special reference to the
enhancement in value of their own prop
erty. 1t is unjust to every man who has
the corporation, to say that a particular
ring shall be allowed, at public expense,
to make improvements to render their
own property saleable, while other men
are placed at disadvantage in the market
from the want of equal improvements.
Equality and justice is what the people
want.

THE Republicans of the New York Leg
islaturc have nominated Hon. Roscoe
Conkhng for reelection to the United
years, commencing with next March, which
nomination is equivalent to an election.
Mr.. Conkling was elected to the House of
Representatives for four terms, from Utica
district. He took his seat in the Senate in
1867, as the successor of Hon. Ira Harris.
His ability and experience places him in
the front rank of Senators, and his friends
will rejoice at his reelection in view Of the
fact that he was so unjustly slandered by
his enemies in the late Presidential cam
paign.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Mr. Rule holds Il government position,
which he fills to the entire satisfaction of
those directing his labors, and which is
worth not to exceed fifteen hundred dol
lars per annum. Mayor Van Glider huids
an office, the duties of which he pretcnds
to discharge for nothing, but which, in
fact, has been worth to him not cent less
than three thousand dollars per annum.
That's the difference between the two cam
didates. Let honest voters say which is
the better paid officer.

SURPRISE is manifested at the result of
the Stokes trial, rot that it was believed
he was innocent of the charge of murder,
but that under the circumstances he was
found guilty. 1t has become so common,
in our larger cities especially, for men OF
wealth and social position to take the life
e. ''air fellowmen with impunity, that
tine Lelief begins to prevail that they can
not be punished. Let there be It few
wholesome hangings among the upper
ten" and public opinion will change on
this subject. At the same time, public
morals will improve and human life will
be regarded as something sacred in the
eyes of the law.

LATE Washington dispatches bring the
gratifying intelligence that the Credit
Mobiler Investigation Committee is to re-
port the evidence already taken to the
House, and that further investigation will
be made with open doors. This is right.
Ifthose who are laboring under the charges
are guilty, their high positions should not
shield them from the obloquy. attaching to
their guilt. If they are innocent, they
above all others are interested in an open
and thorough investigation, Let the light
shine in on this whole transaction, and let
the world see it as it is. Men should be
made to understand that they are watched
in high places as we'll as in the humber
walks of life

MIR. VAN GLIDER is President of a
Bank, one of our wealthiest citizens, uar
dian Of the morals and interests of the
city, and yet for the sake of Scrring the
people for nothing ~ he openly expends
hundreds of dollars to secure his re-elect-
ton as Mayor of Knoxville. Is it honora-
bic to allow his money to be used to
corrupt the voters Of this city? Can an
honorable business man maintain his char
acter for integrity in this community by
giving out money to be used dishonorably
for election purposes? Is it not high time
that the honest men Of this city make an
investigation and satisfy themselves why
a business man compromises his character
by STOPPING to ali the tricks Mayor Van
Glider uses to secure his re-election-to an
Office the duties Of which he preteuds to
discharge withoW pay?
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-01-15

THE taxpayers who read the finance re-
cord OF the present authorities caunow see
why it is that Mayor Van Glider can af-
ford to spend his money so freeley to carry
the city election. If we were accused by
responsible parties with what we have re-
peatedly charged against his Honor, we
would feel that failure to answer was a
confession, and one not at all honorable.
Ridicule satisfies no one. The Mayor
stands charged with using the public
monies for his own special benefit in a
manner not at all honorable, and some
thing more than the doggerel of brain
less tool is expected BY the public in reply.
How much of the seventy odd thousand
dollars spent on streets by Mr.. Van Glider
since he became Mayor has been spent
about HE property. Dare he answer?

THE temperance men of Illinois are
thoroughly aroused on the subject of re-
form in the sale of liquors on Sunday, the
law regarding the sanctity of the Sabbath
being almost dead letter in many of the
larger cities. Western papers report that
there is considerable interest manifested
on the subject, especially in Chicago,
where the City Council favors the rigid en-
forcement of the Sunday law and even in
cline to make it more binding, while the
Mayor is understood to oppose it.

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

a successful case of immediate transfu
sion of blood by DIR. A!bini, OF Naples, Is
related by DIR. MacEwen in the last number
of the Glasgow Medical journal. The
TRANSMISSION was from the carotid artery of
lamb into the veins of lady exhausted
by homorrhage. A gum-elastic tube about
half metre in length was inserted into the
artery of the lamb, and placed in commu-
nication with the vein opened in the arm
Of the patient. At the extremity Of SINH
lar tube two tubes of glass were joined In
such manner rs 10 remain fixed on one
side of the exposed and incised artery OF
the lamb, and on the other 10 the denuded
vein Of the lady, into which the iransfuscd
b God flowed. DR.. Albini rcnounces hence
forth the usual yringc, perfcrringio use
the natural pump, the heart of the animal
itself, which, with vigorous contractions,
is able TO impel liberal supply of blood
into the arm of patient.

The report this year shows a shock
ingly great and unaccountable number
OF accidents, many of which are ex-
ceptionally serious. The freshets of
the month might account for some in
crease, especially in the slighter acct
dents, and probably the great acct
dents attracted so general attention TO
the subject that such casualties we're
more fully reported in the newspapers
but this cannot account for the enor-
nous number, which was exceeded only
~ the month Of January, when half
the railroads in the country were run
ming on snow. And an examination of
the several cases indicate that no nat
ural cause special 10 the time had any
thing TO do with the greatest portion
Of them, and especially the more seri-
Gus ones. Several of the severest were
the direct fruit of a clear disobedience
of orders, and in three cases train men
were recommended for indictment for
criminal negligence, while in one they
were actually indicted A severe dis
cipline seems to be the great lesson
taught by the frightful record OF the

AdrIce to the Undergraduates.

The genial author of "Cast allan
Days." illumine5 the New York Tfj-
6lTe with this delicate bit of irony:
Far be it from US to undertake to
instruct the undergraduate. As well
paint the lily or gild refined gold.
And yet there are things that are not
intuitive to the wisdom of the under
graduate-things gathered from ex-
perience, not plucked from the tree
of knowledge which over his head
waves 1eatiess branches, its buds aud
blossoms, fruit and fragrance, gather
ed and possessed. We beg to say, ac-
eOrdingly, That the average under
graduate labOrs under a delusiOn. A
harmless delusiOn, arising out of his
mOdesty, but one perhaps he will
thank us for dispellIng. 1t is not from
any fancied superiority in literary or
scientific attachments that we under
take to enlighten him, we only use
the privilege of age, and offer the re-
suits OflOng experience. The mistake
of the undergraduate is in suppOsing
that he would not be recognized as an
educated man unless, when he arriveg
at a hotel, ne registers his college,
"Hale," Harvard or what not, as
his place of residence. An educated d
man is always recognized by his
wearing a stOve-pipe hat and carrying
cane. If this does not answer to the
uneducated mind, it is only neces-
sary to order breakfast III a dead
language, and accOst the waiter in
prOfane. These signs are unmistak-
able. But even if you should stop at
a hotel and run the risk of not being
recognized as man of liberal eduea-
tiOn, don't register the name Of your
college. 1t does not pay. All of US
have done it, and all Of US are
ashamed of it. Now that we have
grown old, aud don't know anything
like as much as We did then, we begin
to realize that it was not necessary 70
advertise ourselves as scholars. 1t
might be now: it was not then. Ap-
preciate your opportunities, young
gentlemen. Let an ignorant and
uneducated generation 90 round you
and find you out. 1t heightens their
admiration, and we may add their
reverence for found learning.
