"a STRIKING CONTRAST.


IF the tax sales recently advertised by
the Tax Collectors of Knox, Davidson and
Shelby counties, are any indication of the
comparative prosperity of the sections in
which Knoxville, Nashville aud Memphis
are respectively the commercial centers,
then is the comparison most decidedly in
g favor of East Tennessee. While the tax
sales for Knox county comprise only about
thirty-five pieces of property, the sales in
Shelby now being advertised cover seven
teen hundred and more pieces, while that
of Davidson county, as our recollection
serves us, reached about eight hundred
pieces. The tax sales advertised In
the Nashville and Memphis pa
pers fill about sixteen and thirty
eight columns respectively, while the
sales published in the CHRONICLE fill
ed little over column.
This great difference has some signifi-
canoe. Much complaint has generally
been made of East Tennessee for the delay
in payment of taxes. We suspect our SUI
perior record is partly due to the vigilance
and fidelity of our county Tax Collector; ;
but there must also be difference in the
ability or willingness of the people to pay.
1t is not mere accident that in Shelby
and Davidson SO large a portion of the
property of the counties are to he sold for
non-payment of taxes, while in Knox the
tax books show SO nearly a clean record.
Is it an indication of the comparative
financial condition of the three sections

Our dispatches this morning report the
surrender of Capt. Jack and the remnant
of his miserable squad. He has killed one
ofour best and most popular military lead.
ers and has caused the Governme Mt to ex-
pend many thousands to overthrow his
band. We do not know that there was any
just provocation for bis treachery to Gen.
Candy or his hostility to the Government.
The Indians as class, have, in the estima-
ton of many of our best citizens, good
cause far hatred of the white man andDn-
nifty to the government, but we do not
know that the scalawags and outlaws that
compose the Modoc band can lay any such
claim to the sympathy of the American
people.
We do not know what will be the policy
of the Government as to Captain Jack and
his associates. 1t is unfortunate that they
did not fall in battle, for whatever may
now be done with them, there will be COM
plants and clamors. If Captain Jack is
not shot, there will be many who will COM
plain at the mistaken leniency of the Gov
eminent. If he is, we shall have good
deal of sentiment and poetry expended in
his behalf. If he had been caught soon
after the assassination of Candy, he would
either have been killed on the spot or been
"lost" by the captors on their. way to
camp. - 81 FS

There are rumors Of an intended rising In favor of
the conservatives in the interior OF the State, but
Is yet they are without confirmation.
From reliable, and 1t may be said official, sources
1t has been communicated here that the recent
revolutions in this State and their pernicIous in
1uence on the freedom Of the nteroceanic transit.
have excited a considerable amount OF discussion
in BOgota as to what would be the best measures
TO take for the future. The general opinion
that the Colombian government ought to declare
the State of the lshmus national territory and take
the government OF 1t directly into It's own hands.
1t Is also said that the government OF the Union
had made 0vertures TO the French Minister In
BOgOta whether France would not agree TO eXer-
else a protectorate over the territory, TO which
the Minister replied that such duty was more
proper Tor the United States OF America.
On the whole, in view OF the intention of the
Constituent Assembly here in passing a law 10 de-
fine OF territory some 20 miles in width, en-
closing the line OF railroad, with the object
OF excluding from 1t all armed revolutionary con-
tests, there Is every probability that some action
will be taken to secure the immunity oil the transit
from interruption and future embarrassment, and
that could only be done by giving 20 the whole
state q government adapted to It's important posi-

speaking; but events have recently occurred there
greatly tending towards lowering OF the popular
appreciation OF M. Pardo's government. In a
country like the United States where election
schemes are almost matter Of school education,
some interest VIII be attached to the following brief
relation OF the new wrinkle in political trickery
attempted by the Prefect OF tho Department OF the
Apurimac, OF which Abancay is modest portion.
The people were about to be called together
for the purpose Of choosing their Congressional
representatives, when the Prefect suddenly dis
covered that an open enemy OF the administra-
tion, son OF Colonel Herencia Zevallos who was
killed by his escort in February last, was In the
field as an aspirant to a seat in the legislative
body, and with excellent prospects OF success.
Fully aware Of the dissatisfaction with which the
victory OF this malcontent would be viewed by the
Lima Cabinet the Prefect Immediately cudgelled
his brains to devise some method Of obtaining the
defeat OF the dangerous candidate. The means
were found, employed, and, instead OF attaining
the aim OF tho Prefect, have decidedly recoiled
upon his devoted head, and, while bringing him
before the courts as an unscrupulous despot have
placed him before the people In that most dis.
agreeable OF all lights-an unsuccessful plotter.

WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
Serious Hitch in the Passage OF tho
Ordinances for Relief.

The Assistant Aldermen met yesterday for the
purpose OF facilitating the adoption of ordinances
authorizing the prosecution Of public improve
ments by days work, and resolved to meet again
tomorrow for that purpose When the ordinance
for the paving OF Eighth avenue by the Commits
sioner OF Public Works, as amended by the erasure
by the Aldermen OF the words "or in such manner
as the said Commissioner may deem expedient for
the best interests OF the city and the property
owners" came up, Mr.. Simonson said that
opinion that, with this expunged from the
ordinances, he would be unable to contract for ma
terial or TOOLS and therefore could not do the
WORK. A discussion ensued as to the best course to
pursue Mr. Clancy favored any action that would
enable the authorities to go on with the work, as
did also Messrs. Strack and simonson. The Board
finally unanimously decided to adhere to their
action retaining the above sentence In the ordi-
nances. These words were expunged by the Alder.
men at their last meeting owing TO an opinion OF
Assistant Corporation Counsel Andrews that under
o decision OF the courts with the words retained
the ordinances would be imperative. This is a
feature OF the case that may make IL necessary for
a committee OF conference between the two
branches or the Common Council TO decide upoR
the proper phraseology OF all these ordinances
looking to the inauguration of the days work
system.
