Proclamation by the Mayor.
MAYORS oFFICE. March 2s. 1874.

WHEREAS, It is deemed highly essential for
w the healthfulness of the citizens Of Nash
vile, that the city should be az all times kept in
a Clearly condition, and in order to do this, the
sanitary laws should be enforced; and, whereas,
many persons may not be aware of what that
law i:
/, therefore, here have published and made
known to all persons, the third sectiono OF In law
ON sanitary regulations, which bears Immediate
~ on the point, and inform all those 70 whom il
may concern, that Sergeant Allison, of the pO-
lice force, will see that the law Is strictly en-
forced. Said section is as follows, tO-wit:
'sThat it shall be the duty of any person OWN
ing or occupying any lot or part of lot within the
limit Of the corporation Of Nashville, on which
there is OF NAV be hereafter erected any neces-
saTy house, 10 keep the same in a clean and
neat manner, and cause every such house 10 be
frequently CLEANED I'D emptied, or the pit
thereof to be covered with quick-lime, that the
smell may not become offensive to the adjoining
inhabitants; and it shall also be the duty ofevery
such person so 10 construct OF fir every such
house, that the same may be furnished with con-
veniences or portable bonss, or that a pat or JdH
shall be made under the same of such depth
that the contents thereof may be fully concealed
and prevented from becoming offensive"
/ would further state that, all such premises
to remain in condition, other than speci-
flied in the above law, are declared by law to be
a nuisance, and subjects the party to a fine Of
ten dollars for each Offense.

Such East Tennessee farmers as

be in a quandary about the Oranges.
One unburdens himself in the KhoxriUe
Chronicle as follows:
MANY farmers of staid old Jefferson
are lust now discussing the Grange
movement, and resolving in their minds
that apt quotation from Hamlet, wheth-
or it is best to bear the ills we have
than fy to others that we know not Of
If. argue some, the Grange means poll
tics or the elevation to Office Of nwo
+bv aspirants. who seek to climb the
shoulders of men who hold the pillow,
then let the Grange go tO-grass. If,
remark a few who sound the alarm
when a prominent Democrat joins the
orderl, the Grange means a coup a etdt
10 win us from the Republican party,
then we pass. If, say others, 1t means
that vilest of dogmas, free trade, which
some of the Western Oranges are advo-
eating. then count us out. But if the
principles recently promulgated by Il
National Grange Convention, at 81.

which politics and kindred issues are

trict in the State, with which to con-
struct branches of the order"

IT is the Chattanooga Commercial,
a Republican organ, which thus COM
ments on the imitation measures of the
present Republican Congress:
"Gold is advancing considerably.
This is probably the first fruits of the
vote Of Congress the other day; indi-
eating that initiation has a majority in
that body. While this policy may en-
able those who are now involved to tide
over and save themselves, it viii ulti-
mately result in great loss to the coun-
try, and give the workingmen c~ostlier
living, without a corresponding in
crease of wages. An advance of three
per cent on gold willadd abouteighteen
millions to the cost of our annual i'm
pOrtations Of foreign merchandise. 1t
will likewise enhance the value Of home
products; but the last thing that VIII
be enhanced by initiation, is the wages

THE WARS OF THE FACTIONS.
The Massachusetts Legislature Unable
to Moose n Senafor-Banks and
Adams the second Choice of the
Dawes and HOa Men.
From the Chicago Tribune.

- - SN6
Boston, Mass, March 26.-Both fac
tiOns of the Republicans have got sick Of
canvassing, the stormy gatherings of last
night showing that that method, as long as
the present temper lasts, instead of tending
to reconcile, only serves to rend the two
interests farther apart. IL seems to be all
with the Democrats now, and they are con-
sciOus of it, being greatly elated that the
power lies in their hands. Many of them
are specially jubilant-so much so that
the Democratic cat, having the Re
publican mouse in its claws, seems
inclined to play with it before making
good its victory. They are, however, him
dered in their object by the unexpected ap-
prevail shown by their constituents regard
ing their firm stand and unbroken front for
Judge Curtis. The "Unterrifed" are
shouting to them to stand by him to the
last, but the Democratic members know
better than to throw away the opportunity
in that way and will doubtless show their
hand on Saturday, at which time it is said
that, though an election may not take
place, there will certainly be a new deal,
and a change on all sides. 1t depends now
a great deal on which of the Republican
factions breaks first, and the Democrats will
probably not take the initiative. If, for in
stance, the Hoar men break first, and 60 for
Charles Francis Adams, on the next ballot
the Democrats will follow suit and bring
about an election; but it is said that there
is more likelihood of the Dawes men first
breaking for Banks, and it is claimed
that Banks would carry a larger
proportion of the Democrats than would
Adams. Should both sides Of the Repub-
licans break simultaneously in this way,
the whole aspect would change instantly,
arraying Adams and Banks on opposite
sides. Many of the supporters Of Dawes
have to-day spoken very favorably of Banks,
the keynote having been struck in the
caucus of last night, when the Dawes men
spoke of electing a candidate from the
people as against the "blue-bloOd" repre-
scented by Mr.. Hoar. Secret conferences
are in session tonight, and the hotel Hobbies
are particularly lively. There is good author
ity for saying that both the Hoar and Dawes
faction are in negotiation with the Demo
Gratis, not with any view to the advance
ment of their candidates, but for the choice
of a compromise candidate. The most
straight-Out Republicans of both factions
appear very respondent, some of them even
that nothing but anarchy in the
party and its early dissolution can come
out of this.

TIMELY REBUKE AND A PRU-
BENT SrGGESTTON "

Our Memphis correspondent has al
ready favored the readers of the UNION
AND AMERICAN with a copy of the
"~twenty-cent memorial" which is be-
ing circulated by a few unsatisfed spir-
its in Shelby and, perhaps, other coun-
ties, In West Tennessee, and we have,
IN one or two occasions, called atten-
ton to the miscellaneous character of
the document and the sinister purposes
of its projectors. We doubt not many
w~ell-meaning persons have been and
may still be induced to lend their
names to the movement without
a due appreciation of its Interior
aims. We note with much
satisfaction that the Memphis
Aualdnche.-a journal, whose position
in reference to State finances is well
understood throughout the State, and
which represents a class of opinions
that the authors of the memorial" no
doubt expected to enlist in its support
Sc far from taking stock in the en-
terprise, administers to it a rebuke,
from its new standpoint, as timely as
it is notable for its temperate spirit
and propriety of expression. In its is
u of the 9th inst, the AUaIanchepub-
fishes a copy of the memorial" signed
by a number of citizens of Shelby, and
accompanies its publication with the
following u~nequivocal remarks:
"The position of the Avalanche, both
with reference to taxation and the
financial policy of the present State
administration is well defined, but we
do not think that any good, practical
results can be obtained by discussing
them now. We have done so only
when efforts were made to misrepresent
or deceive others. Just at this time it
is more important to look after the
character of our local governments, in
counties, towns and cities. 1t is more
vital to us all that the August elections
be conducted wisely and with the sin
gle purpose of electing the best men
for the local officers. The only way to
a reform of the State government is by
reforming ourselves. The vanity and
ambition, the selfshness and eagerness
Of candidates for State Offices are con.
stantly thrusting them forward and in
the way Of local reforms. These aspir-
ing and patriotic gentlemen mean well.
but they are working at the wrong end
at the wrong time. The people are just
at the present so much more concerned
IN immediate reforms in county and
city affairs, that the State questions can
well be postponed until after the Au-
gust election"
While it may not now seem proba-
BILE that, in the ultimate financial issue,
as it shall be made up in Tennessee,
the UNION AND AMERICAN and the
AralaRehe Will be in accord, still, it is
possible for them now to be harmoni-
GUS in the suggestion that the attempt
to complicate local issues with ques-
tions of State policy, and rice Uersa, is
not only unwise, but positively mis-
chievous; and We, therefore, most
heartily commend the suggestion of
the AUalanche that "the State questions
can well be postponed until after the
August election" Nay, more; we join
in admonishing the people that " the
vanity and ambition, and eagerness of
candidates for State Offices are con
stantly thrusting them forward and in
the way of local reforms"

THE POWER OF KECUPERATroN.


They are beginning to count the cost
nov. George Alfred Townsend, in a
lette to the Chicago Tribune, puts it
this way: "No man, not a negro, can
make any more reputation out Of the
slavery question. This nation of white
men has paid a fearful price per capita
for the freedom of the slave. 1t has
paid for, say, four million slaves, the
sum in money of two billion six hum
dred million dollars, or about six
hundred and fifty dollars per head,
in debt alone, bearing interest
the same the dusky C would
have cost bought up by the
nation without losing a life. Such a
piece of profigacy is war. A great
war represents the wastes oyer and
above a settlement of its issues. 1t is
the cost of the obduracy and the pas
sion, the demagoguery, and the lying,
and the cheating of the suffering side"
This is correct enough, SO far as it
goes. But this loss of $1,000. 000,O 900
fell on the South alone, instead
of "this nation" at large. Be-
sides this, the Congressional CON-
mittee on Southern claims recently
estimated thai the. consumption and
destruction of property in the South
by the Union armies alone, amounted
to three billion dollars. 1t would be a
moderate estimate to suppose that the
Confederate armies consumed an equal
amount. In other words, the South
lost by the war three times the amount
of the whole national debt, which rep
resents all the expenses of the
North, including the rascalities
and stealings of Shoddy-and
now the South foots her proportion of
this national debt. In view of these
stupendous losses, a~ggregating nearly
ten times the amount of Frances in
demnity to Prussia, the South bears
up wonderfully, and manifests a power
Of vitality and recuperation such as
the world has never before witnessed.

liquidation.

The CIarksriUe Chronicle, noticing
the Memphis move for a State tax of
twenty cents, remarks:
There was a time when, in our judg-
ment, partial reputation would have
been wise and proper. When the State
had freed itself from the curse of Rad
ical rule, a careful investigation should
have been made, Of its liabilities, care
fully separating the legal from the IL
legal bonds, and all Of the latter should
have been repudiated, allowing only 50
much Of the carpet-bag issue as would
suffice for the economical administra-
ton Of a de tqctO government. Instead
of pursuing this policy, the Leglsla-
ture enacted that the railroads might
paw of their Indebtedness to the State
in its bonds. Consequently the Brown
low issue, being either Illegal, II Of
doubtful authority, were the cheapest
in the market, and these the railroads
bought up and paid into the Treasury
Of the State. In this way the only
bonds which might have been honora-
bly, repudiated, were legalized and ac-
cepted in payment Of debts, leaving
the bona tide bonds of the State to be
redeemed by the heavy drafts upon the
pockets Of the tax payers. The people
it seems, Will now be asked to repudi-
ate an honest debt after having paid off
the bogus obligations imposed by a
thieving ring Of swindling carpet-bag-
gers and native traitors

THE multiplicity of suggestions as
to how candidates for county offices
shall be selected, it seems to us, tend
to mystify rather than enlighten the
popular mind. No better plan has ever
been suggested than a convention cho-
sen by the people, and if its decisions
will not bind the voters, it is folly to
rely upon any other plan-men who
feel that there is no moral obligation
in politics, can be held to their duties
by no considerations of party honor or
patriotic love of country. He who
would, by his selfish ambition, promote
the success of Radicalism, is a worse
enemy to his country than the foulest
Radical-the latter can be met as an
avowed enemy-the former is an enc
my under the cover of friendship

ALBEIT GRANT IS the only member of
the new British Parliament whose return is
petitioned against on the ground of distinct
personal bribery. This is the gentleman
who presented the Leicester Square inclOs-
ure to the public; but before doing so he
bought up a number of the surrounding
houses, so that the probable rise in their
market value from the improvement Of the
Enclosure Will return him much more than
the value OF the ground presented TO the

THE CarksUiUe Chronicle explains
how primary elections failed in Mont
gomery county two years ago:
prior to the last election, therewere
primary elections and the canvass
opened with a prospect of harmony and
success; but the disOrganizers began
their work, and it 500 became appar-
emf that thousands who had voted for
one man, primarily, would discard their
solemn pledge and vote for another.
This wide spread want of good faith,
on the part of so many who had pledged
their vote to the candidate they had
helped to select, gave the victory to the
Radicals and the shame and dlshonor
to themselves"
