presented no new feature. 1t exhibited the same
irregularity that has been observable Tor several
days. and throughout was weak, variable and with
tendency to lower prices. The report from VI
emma, the possible complication Of Sprague 4 Co.,
in Providence, r. l., and the consequent influence
upon the dry goods trade of New York, made the
market feverish, and at the close the latter pre-
sented no mending quality. While in the abstract
the bright side OF the situation Is hopeful
and suggestive, certain incidents may occur
which for the moment will lend to it
additional gloom and distrust. And when reports
from various sources convey such intelligence as
was published this morning 1t is but natural that
the market in its present tender condition should
yield and be disturbed 1t Is unpleasant to con-
template the precarious attitude OF any great frm

SIY Some newspaper man has re-
Gently interviewed Senator Brown
low on Cesarism and the political
situation in Tennessee and published
it in the New York Herald. There
is nothing new or startling ELECTED
from the Senator. OF the political
situation in Tennessee he says ''the
masses are thoroughly disguised with
their democratic rulers, and, us bad
as they represented my administra-
ton, when order had to he evolved
from chaos, their disgraceful conduct
has rendered mine eminently respec-
table by contrast" Which humiliat-
ing fact was painfully patent to more
than half hundred thousand,honest
reformers in Tennessee long before
he enunciated it. 1t is "a twice
told tale" that is commented on more
and mo as the enormity of the one
and the fagrancy of the other adj
ministration is contrasted. IF the
masses are thoroughly disgusted''
they will show it in due time. They
can drown the purps'' if they don't

~ We have been taught to re-
gard the natives of the Sandwich
Islands, a race midway between the
Indian and African, as being the
most susceptible of all the western
world aboriginees to civilization and
a high position in society. But re-
cent statistics prove that they are
rapidly becoming extinct. In 1882
there were I30.315 natives, and in
1872 but 81 900 in all the Islands
the foreigners numbering 5000. AL
though they are blessed with public
schools all over the Islands and sus.
ceptible to education, yet they have
become subjects Of fatal diseases
and sterility to a remarkable de-
gree, so that in the next decade or
two these fine and fertile Islands
will be overshadowed by the white
man, and the natives will become ex-
tinct. Whether this is owing to ir-
revocable natural laws, or the we'll
known communicating evils attending
the influx Of a superior race, that
overshadows and blights them. is a
question for the philanthropist. 1t
is certain the Hawai;ans, if there is
truth in the census, are becoming
extinct.

LAND SALES.
No School Fund Arising from them in

STATE SUPERNTENDEET's OFFICE,
September 10, 1873.
With view OF ascertaining wheth-
er there would he any school funds
in the Treasury, arising from the
sales of lands held by the State on
bids Mt tax sales, for distribution on
the first Monday in October next. in
addition to the semi.annual interest
already accured on the permanent
fund, note Of inquiry was this day
addressed to the State Treasurer.
His reply. as follows, is published
for general information.
TREASURED OFFICE
NASHVILLE. Tenn. Sept. IS, 1878.
Hon. Jno N. Fleming, Superintendent of Public
Instruction:
DEAR SIR-Replying to your note
OF inquiry as to the condition of the
fund, supposed to be in the Treas
ury, arising from sales of lands bid
off for taxes in name of Treasurer,
for the benefit of common schools,
I would say that there Is no such
fund on hand The cost of making
these sales. so far. largely exceeds
the redemptions. and as / understand
the law, it would be only the excess
over and above taxes and costs, that
would go to the school fund" If
the Commissioners appointed by act
of the Legislature. should sell the
lands bid off as above. prior TO 1871,
for more than the taxes and costs.
then this excess would belong to
that fund. Every county has its
commissioner, who has complete
lists of these sales. and until these
various commissioners make final
settlements. there Is no way that /
know of. of estimating the sum. If
any al all. that will be dine the
school fund. The indications now
are that the court costs will leave
no surplus after the tax claims Of
county and State have been satisfied.
Very truly,
W M0RROW TPeaSureR

ExcESSIHE cHARGES.

It is maintained by some OF the
prominent Journals of the day that
company or individual has an alb.
straet right to charge whatever he
pleases for services rendered, pro-
vided the charges are understood to
be reasonable by the class making
them. This appears to us to be
dangerous code OF ethics. It GER
tainly has a tendency to gradually
centralize power, from year to year,
in fewer and fewer hands, until it
eliminates into absolute individual
control of the government. The
custom of our forefathers to pass and
observe laws regulating tolls at fer
ries, grist mills and turnpikes seems
to have been of the highest import
ance and regarded strictly within
the powers to prevent extortion. On
similar principle a tremendous
popular opinion. disclosed through
the oranges Of the country, desires
to force railroad companies to rea-
sonable compensation-not as may
be established by the combined rail
road companies themselves, but the
reasonable compensation that shall
be adjudged by an enlightened pub
lie opinion outside of these compa.
MES, especially, precisely as that
regulating tolls in grist mills and at
ferries. In this view of the case, the
general community certainly have
the right to demand the law ma ers
to enact laws to prevent extortion
by exhorbitant charges on the great
commercial highways Of the world.
And if these laws are not sufficient,
by virtue of interstatical discrimina-
tions, then they have a right to ex-
pect the General Government to in
tervene in their behalf, and tone the
transgressors down to equity and
proper sense of justice.

NARROW GUAGE MOVEMENT.

A large portion Of our sheet this
week 10 filed with the letter and adj
dress Of Winborn Lawton, Of Charles
ton, S. c., on the subject Of Mar
row Guage outlet. from the extreme
Northwest to the Atlantic coast. We
regret that these communications
were not received in time for our pa.
per last week, as their perusal might
have been the means of securing a
larger representation of the people
Of our section Of the State at the
meeting held at the Warm Springs
yesterday in behalf of the movement.
Although issued too late to have to
have effect upon the meeting, Dir.
Lswton's letter cannot fail to be of
interest to our readers. It is impor-
tant that the people of East Tennes-
see should take an interest in the
movement, for it is feasible and prac-
ticable to open a railroad highway
from Cumberland Gap to the point he
deSignates materially shorter than
has yet been constructed, and at a
moderate cost. The meeting of yes
terday we hope was made up OF men
fully alive to the Importance of the
movement, who are determined to
wait no longer for something to turn
up to help them, but who went to
work vigorously to help themselves.

necessary to successful merchandiz-

with the best of training, the selling
of goods is hazardous.
Persons who have not inVestigat-

prised to know how many stores
there are scattered throughout the
country. At nearly every crossing
Of the roads and even where there
are no roads to cross, may be seen
stately houses or rude tenements,
filed with articles of merchandise.
In many cases the owners of the es-
adjustments are men of intelligence

energies and money to a much bet

customers as the majority Of them
have to do in'these times.
