Nearing his End.-John Anderson
Thompkins had kept the thing up
for eight or nine years when our
story opens, and he was nearing his
end. Justice over takes the guilty
sooner or later, and justice was lying
low for this bad boy. He had the
cheek to believe that he would live to
be hundred years old, but he was
to be taken down peg or two, and
his mother left an orphan.

EXPANSION Or THE CURRENCY.
Speech of Senator BrOwnlOw.

on Tuesday last, Ian. Goth, the Senate
resumed the constellation of the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Sherman, favoring the re-
sumption of specie payments, when Sena-
tor Brownlow delivered the remarks fol-
lowing:
Mr.. BROWNLOW. Mr.. President, in
the southern and western sections OF the
county, and especially in Tennessee, there
has, aud there still remains, much suffer-
ing, caused by the want of an adequate
supply of money, of any kind, TO meet the
imperious emergencies of business. Every
department of commerce and manuiac-
lures and every material interest OF the
whole country, and especially of the sec
tions named, have been deeply injured by
this deficiency Of money. -
IL is this state of facts which induces me
to break my accustomed silence in this
body, and to submit my views upon the
gravity of the question. and the most
promising measures by which safe and
general relief may be realized
/ am more inclined to submit a few re-
marks on this subject in consequence or
certain views recently expressed in the
Senate 10y several gentlemen for whom
entertain great respect, and, also, because
OF the fact that something lilse a concerted
movement has been in progress I'm several
important commercial centers evidently
designed To induce, If not To furce, the
Government 10 reduce the amount of
money IA circulation and to resort prema-
turely tOa resumption of specie payment
am distinctly aud utterly opposed to re-
ducing the present volume of the curren-
cy. ! am equally opposed tn an immediate
resumption OF specie payments. Nor can

who dis, rust the ability and usefulness of
our existing system of banking aud eur
reney. On the contrary, hold that, prop
erly administered, il IS not only adequate
but largely beueticeHt in its scope. This
system sprang into existence during the
late civil war. 1t ogigiuated in the neees-
sites created by that war. Vet 1t has

the destruction of the Government self, in

Tennessee Taking the Lead.

Says the Pittsburgh Commercial:
OF all the distinctivey Southern States,
Tennessee would appear to be making the
most rapid and thorough progress in the
essential elements of enduring prosperity
and greatness. 1t has the best school sys-
TEN of all the Southern States, and provis-
ion is made whereby every child between
six and sixteen years Of age can have at
least five months schooling each year,
while the educational advantages for all
are much better than they were for white
children before the war. The foundations
of Vanderbilt's Institution have already
been laid at Nashville and the State is
erecting capaciOus and comfortable asy-
lums for the blind and dumb. Life was
never more secure in Tennessee than now,
and public sentiment throughout the State
has made great progress for the better. At
the close of the war Tennessee accepted the
situation in good faith, conforming itself
with energy To the discharge of its new OPP
portunities. Providence helps those who
help themselves. Let the Impoverished
Southern neighbors of Tennessee heed aud
profit by the lesson.

The Alliance Of nYnnstiNs.

Time and space, and many u time-honored
rule and fixed idea, seem TO melt away when II
British Prince is crossing Europ3 to bring back
n Russian bride. But lew years ago Il visit to
China, or to Fairy-land, or to the Great Mogul
BILE. That one family. not in the foremost rank,
now possessing what Germany has left IL of the
Cimmerian Peninsula, should ally unto itself
and form into one family group. England, All
the Russias and Greece, was strange enough !,
but it seemed only succession of happy Incl
dents, having n certain dramatic effect rather
than real significance. But the illustrious
couple we shall shortly have TO welcome home
will represent in their Immediate parentage the
entire length of the Old World from the Allan
tic to the Pacific Ocean, from the frozen seas to
our own ncighbors in the ESst, and from India
to the furthest habitations of the Southern hemi-
snhoro.

from the Russian Church To Alexander
Hall, close by, where the shorter ceremony
will be performed by Dean Stanley, assist
ed by Rev. Arthur 5. Thompson, the resi-
dent clergy man, who was formerly pupil
of the Dean, at oxford. The two ceremo
nies will take place under one roof, and the

transportation Question.
KALAMAZOO, MIC1I., Jan. 2f.-The
State Grangers, who have been in session
here for several days, have adopted the re-
port of the Committee on Transportation,
which is to the effect that railroads are
amenable to State regulations as much
as plank and gravel road companies, and
that the Legislature has as much right to
regulate their charges rs to fix turnpike
tolls or charge of millels for grinding
grain. Accompanying the report Of the
committee are the following resolutions:
ResoLUed, That while we deprecate any
and all attempts to cripple or destroy rail-
road interests, we would remind them that
our interests are indentical. We imploge
them not to kill the goose that lays the
golden egg, by taxing us eXorbitant rates
to enable them TO compete with other great
trunk lines leading from the West to the
East.
Other resolutions deprecate class leg
islation and declare that public lands
should be devoted rigidly to the purpose of
actual settlements.
