GEN. LONGsTREET.

Rev. w. n. Pendleton, Rector of the
Episcopal church at Lexington, Va, and
formerly Brigadier General in the Con-
federate service is on lecturing tour in
the South, for the purpose of raising funds
to build tomb for Gen. r. +. Lee. On
Tuesday evening last week, the lecturer
went out of his way to charge treachery
against Gen. Longstreet, as the cause
for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg
The Hammer, referring to this charge
against Longstreet, says:
General Longstreet, unlike nearly all the
other eX-Confederate Generals, became
identified with the Republican party short
ly after the war, and has acted with that
party since, and to this fact, we can't help
thinking, must be ascribed this extraordi-
nary charge of General Pendleton. Who
supposes such an accusation would be
brought at this late day if General Long.
street harmonized politically with General
Pendleton. We very much question il
among his defamers there can be found
| one of half his physical or moral courage
| in peace or war. Say what they will OF
him, LOngstreet was "A splendid soldier
| did capable and conscientious service fol-
| the Confederate cause-was ever in the
| thickest and hottest of the fight and his
presence alone was worth a whole brigade
to any army. 1t would present the South
in a most contemplate attitude to decry
such man for the qualification of little
mean, sectional and partisan prejudice, be
cause the man has brains and great soul
and dares to give to both the freest play
| and exercise.

THE STATE DEBT.

Gov. Brown has issued a circular letter
on the subject of funding or registration of
Tennessee bonds under the law passed by
the last Legislature, in answer to questions
of what bonds and coupons WILDE rejected
whether the revenues under existing
laws will be sufficient to meet the demands
on the treasury, &c. He says funding and
registering will commence as early as the
first day of July next. The bonds to be
rejected will be Mineral Home railroad
bondsl amounting to 100000, and num-
bered from 9,S51 to 0 ,S65 and from 0,S96 to
$3.50. Also the bonds of the Insurance
Company of the Valley of Virginia,
amounting to $4,000 as we'll as all the Ten
nessee Confederate war bonds. He says if
there are any Others not fundable under
the act of the Legislature, it is not
known. He adds:
"And when it is considered that out of
more than $4,000 100000 thirteen millions
retired since the early part of 1870, no such
bond has been detected, the presumption
is very strong that none such are in exist
ence. The bonds and coupons presented
will, however, be critically inspected, and
if any are found to have been fraudulently
the time they were issued, they will be re-
jected"
On the subject of an extra session of the
Legislature, the Governor says he believes
the assessment law inow in force will de-
velop largely increased amount a taxable
property, ample to meet the necessities of
the State, but should he find that such is
not the case, he will certainly call the Leg
islature together in time to meet the emer-
gency. He closes with this paragraph:
The interest maturing July 1st, 1874, can,
and will be met out of the revenues of
1878, even should there be no improve
ment in the assessment returns, as a very
simple calculation, Including the taxes on
privileges will readily show. And if any
improvement in the revenue laws should
appear necessary to meet the subsequent in
stallments of interest, it can, and should
be made in the assessments and levies of
1874. In any ASPECT of the case, therefore,
there is no existing necessity for conven-
ing the General Assembly in extra ses-
sion.

THE NEW COMPTROLLER.

The appointment of Col. Jno. C.. Burch,
of the Union and american, is creating no
little talk. We have heard two or three
theories advanced, explanatory of his APP
pointment, one of which is that alluded to
in our issue of yesterday, in connection
with the public printing. One thing is
certain, and that is, the firm of Jones,
Purvis & Co., Public Printers, will have no
cause to complain at the auditing of their
accounts for printing, so long as leading
member of their own firm, as Comptroller,
has that duty to perform. The course pur-
sued by the Public Printers in the matter
of schedules for tax assessors, to which we
alluded yesterday, will afford slight ink
ling of the Comptroller's views on that
subject
But we hear it said again that the ap-
pointment of Col. Burch is part of the
Governors programme for bringing to-
gether and cementing the confused ele-
| ments of Tennessee Democracy. One i'm
portant appointment was the editor of
johnson Democratic paper. Col. Burch
was leading supporter of Gen. Cheatham.
| 1t is well known fact that the Governor
has no love for Andy Johnson, and if he
| can so shape matters as to bring about a
| cohesion of elements in opposition to the
| eX-President he will not hesitate to do so.
| But we very much question if this last
appointment will prove popular, even with
Democrats. Col, Burch could not get the
nomination of a caucus of his own party,
and utterly failed to unite members of the
Legislature in his support. He could not
| even muster a corporaps guard. But
MI. Hobbs was elected and has resigned,
and Col. Burch receives the appointment
Some persons, and not few, think that
Hobbs was elected for the purpose of re-
signing, with a knowledge that Burch
would succeed to the Office. We do not
make such charge, but have heard sew
eral gentlemen speak of it in that light.
1t would not seem, in the light of facts
above stated, that Burch's appoin tment
will prove a source of strength TO the
Brown-Democratic party.
Aside from partisan considerations,
the appointment is exceedingly UNI
fortunate att this time. The process
Of funding the State debt is going on or
soon will be in which the Comptroller per-
forms an important part. To say nothing
of transactions in the past to which this
appointee was party, and which inYolv-
ed something of drain upon the treasury
, it is very certain that he has never dis.
played financial ability of very high or
der. There are ten thousand men
! in the State who know as much
of State tinanciering as Colonel
Burch. Hence his appointment is
unfortunate, as it affects the State credit
! We have heard it openly and unequivo-
! cally denounced by Democrats, who seem
to regard it as unfortunate and as betoken
ing no good for the future of our State
finances. We trust the result may not bt
> as predicted. We trust he may prove {
faithful, efficient, energetic and honest of.
! ficer, but it must be confessed that there is
not much in the past to justify such hope

THE TRENT AFFAIR.
service.

The last number of the GALAXY contains
an article on the capture of Mason and
Slidell, the Confederate ambassadors sent
abroad to embroil our Government in
war with some foreign power, by Gideon
Wells, Secretary of the Navy under Mr..
Lincoln, which does not quite agree with
the view of the same affair taken by
Charles Francis Adams in his late Grafton
on William H. Seward. Mr.. Adams seems
to represent Mr.. Seward as alone re-
garding the Trent affair as serious
complication which would require nice di-
plomacy. Mr., Wells article was written
before Mr.. Adams Grafton was delivered
so that neither was aware of the view the
other would take OF that event. The Ex-
Secretary says that he was the first to carry
to Mr.. Lincoln the news of the capture OF
Mason and Slidell and that the President
at once remarked that though the country
would hail their capture with delight they
might prove elephants on our hands"
Mr.. Adams rather intimates that while
the people, the press and the President and
his other advisers were joyful over the gall
liant act of Wilkes, the Secretary of State
alone comprehended the dangerous posi-
ton in which it placed the Government.
His picture of the cabinet meeting at
which Mr.. Seward read his famous dis
patch disavowing for the Govern
menu All IeSpOilSlDllly lOI Tie dCU
of Wilkes is rather dramatic and
impresses the reader with the idea he
entertains-that Mr.. Stewards manage
ment of that affair saved the nation. There
is no doubt but that Mr.. Seward 8 letter on
that subject and his whole management of
the matter stands as one Of the most bril-
liant pages in the history of our State De-
partment.
We allude to it now as question certain
to assume prominence, for we see it stated
that Mr.. Wells will take occasion to reply
to Mr.. Adams. Any information the dis
cussion will bring before the country
will be received with eagerness for ii
is part of the history of the war of the re-
belllon upon which all intelligent readers
wish to have reliable and accurate infor-
nation. 1t is too soon now to compare the
services of Mr.. Lincolns Cabinet to the
country in this or any other of its impor-
tant acts, but it is not too soon to gather
from those still living connected with it,
all the facts they have in their possession.

OUR STATE SCHOOLS.

The State Superintendent of Schools,
has issued circular in which he recites
the main features of the School Law and
urges upon its friends, the necessity for ac-
ton. Mr.. Fleming thinks that the total
proceeds of the taxes levied by the State
will amount to about S4.06 per scholar,
counting the average number of scholars
likely TO attend schools and 10 be provided
for at 100000 This includes the county
tax of one mill provided for by the State
aud to be distributed pro-rata according to
the scholastic population. This sum, it is
thought will not provide schools for five
months considering that for the first year
extra expenses will be incurred inaugural
ing schools.
Mr. Fleming then recites the action of
the different County Courts last month,
and thinks it hopeful: Thirty-four coun-

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

The New York Times in late issue
speaks rather modestly of its rapid increase
in circulation and future prospects. 1t
announces that it has secured as its chief
correspondent at Vienna, William H. Rus
sell, l.. l.. D., the famous correspondent of
the London Times, who visits Vienna as
part of the suite of the Prince of Wales. OF
course such correspondent is paid very
literally.
AS to the circulation of the Times we
can add some facts that the modesty of
the Times seems to forbid it to state.
From personal observation we know that
its daily circulation is second of the morn
ing four cent papers, and that its weekly
circulation far exceeds that of any other
political weekly in this country. The
agricultural department of the Weekly
Times, under the charge of Mr., Henry Z.
Cotton, is complete, instructive and relia-
BILE, and with its market reports make it
an indispensable paper for the farmer.
We are glad to note its growing circulation
already far exceeding 100000. Presses
and engines are now en- route from Eng
land which will enable the Times to print
one thousand papers per minute, or sixty
thousand per hour. These presses will en-
able the Times to keep its forms open until
about four o'clock in the morning and
give the very latest news: Though 1t does
not issue quadruple and quintuple sheets
by inserting unpaid advertisements, its
news and advertising columns show that
it still stands among the foremost of relia-
BILE and enterprising newspapers.

ties elected Superintendent, all of whom
he pronounces good men. He dwells upon
the Importance of cooperation on the part
of County Superintendents and the friends
of schools in securing three good men in
each civil district for school directors at
the elections to be held next August.
The success of the public schools, Col.
Fleming very properly says, depends upon
the zeal and fidelity of the County Super
intendents. To aid them in their work is
the duty of every friend of this great re-
form. The address of the State Superin-
tendent is earnest and shows him to be ami
mated by the proper spirit. We trust the
school question will be as liberal as those
that have made their record,

aid, complains very much because Euro
pean and Northern immigration is repell-
ed from the South through the misrepre-
sentation of 'radical papers," He COM
plains likewise that the Southern Repub-
lican papers do not correct such falsehoods.
We can not imagine who this Rip Van
Wrinkle is. He has evidently been
asleep for some years. Probably he
has not heard of the Colfax mas
sacre. Now the few Republican
papers that exist in the South, as far as we
know of them, have worked more in
cessantly and faithfully to aid in building
up the South than their contemporaries of
the opposite political faith. While the lat
ter have attempted to poison the southern
mind by misrepresenting the North and
exaggerating the evils existing in the
spirit, the Republican papers, so
far as we see them, labor to en-
courage national sentiment and a
progressive feeling. 1t is part of their
creed to do so and they do it to the best of
their ability. The CHRONICLE has to the
extent of its power done this for East Ten
nessee. We have not only written about
tllS SeCLlOD, DuU we nave eApeuueu Ieh uOl-
lars in disseminating this information
abroad where "a Patriot" and his organ
have not expended in similar way on e
cent Fortunately for East Tennessee it is
pretty well understood now that here,
such butcheries as that in Louisiana
or such illiberal, unchristian sentiments
as we give below are not tolerated. But
as to the other sections of the South, one
such outbreak of barbarism as the massa-
ere at Colfax parish, will do more to repel
capital and labor than hundred news
papers could do to attract them. If the
Southern people would act sensibly they
would visit their wrath upon the authors
of such outrages, rather than upon news
papers at distance that publish them and
comment unfavorably upon them.
We trust ga Patriot" will hurl some OF
his indignation at the editor of the Athens
Georgian and the community that sup
| ports a sheet that would utter such senti-
| ments as these:
"An Indian Massacre-Capt. Jack and
| Warriors Revenge the South by Murder

BOSTON is proposing in real good earnest
to contend with New York for Commercial
supremacy on this continent. Quietly she
has been maturing and executing her
plans and now it suddenly comes to the
attention of the Gothamites that the rival
ry is serious. The bridging of the Hudson
river at Albany and the completion of the
Hoosac Tunnel, give Boston new and de-
cided advantages in transportation to
the West. Cars loaded in the far
West can now be unloaded in
the ships hold without breaking bulk,
New stock yards, far superior to any about
New York, have been built and offer great
inducements to the stock trade. Boston is
nearer Europe than New York, now
rivals the latter.in shipping facilities, and
has as much capital as her increased bust
ness demands. Another great advantage
Boston enjoys, and one daily growing in
Importance, is the greater ability and
honesty of her courts.
The commercial laws of Massachusetts
are more liberal and their enforcement
more certain than in New York, and in
these days that advantage is worth consid-
sring and in fact is considered by business
men.
