OLD sourHnRN TOWNS.

A letter from tourist says:---
tsSouthern towns there in existence
that are as untouched by the hands
Of to-day as though they were buried
deeper than Pompeii Of old. They
are buried ito all modern interests
and purposes. Not breath Of air
breathed by live, active men and
women ever reaches them; not a
ripple Of the great wave called pro
gress ever touches their shores they
have few books, and anything they
find 10 the newspapers beyond the
market, their crops and their side 10
politics, has no meaning for them.
"Yet they have gentlemen and
gentlewomen in their midst full Of q
Quaint, old>fashioned dignity, and
surrounded by aroma Of good breed
ing not unlike in quality to the odor
Of dried rose leaves; they have
few young men and girls growing up
in their mothers footsteps, young
people lacking the full measure Of
what society reckons as thorough
bred, assured beau or belle but often
their youths are honest and simple-
hearted even at. twenty-five and
the girls, why they grow up and bud
and blossom into q modest, sweet
beauty, have their day Of triumph
and conquest, and settle down TO be
the wife Of some country squire and
mother Of children, whom they will
train to grow exactly as they were
trained"

WHAT WILL THE CONESG con

GREsS DO FOR THE COUNTRY
Thelobbyists and subsidy grabbers are
not the only classes who will urge their
views upon the Congress that assemblies
next Monday. A very strong pressure
will be brought to bear by the mercan-
tile classes, to induce it to abandon all
minor i sues, AMI adopt such measures
as seem best calculated to afford imme-
date direct relief to the material in
terests of the country. 1t is urged,
and with good reason, that 1t is quite
possible and practicable to pass the
desirable kind Of legislation within the
given time. Reports are now being
collected by the various Chambers of
Commerce of New York and other
cities, of the special requirements of
each trade or branch Of industry, which
Will be presented at the early part of
the session, and with a committee
thoroughly in earnest on the subject it
would be possible to place the subject
before the House N due time for legis-
lation. OF course, nothing like COM
plete revision of the tariff is to be ex-
pected. But there is time for taking
from many Important branches of in
dustry the burdens which now press
against them.
The reasons that should operate to
induce the closing Congress to adopt
this course seem almost too plain and
apparent to require amplifcation.
The material interests of the entire
country have suffered and are now suf-
fering from legislative deficiencies and
errors in the past. If the present Con-
gress do not grant redress, then 1t can
not be obtained for a year or year
and half longer, and the people will
inexorsbly hold the Republican party
responsible for the delay. Until the
4th Of March next that party will re-
tain its two-thirds control of Congress,
and can enact any measure it may
deem essential for the relief and ben
eft of the people. The Economist
thinks a couple of sound, judicious
acts on the currency and tariff would
effect an important improvement IN the
aspect Of industrial affairs.
The present miserable uncertainty
makes capital timid and spreads the
reign OF stagnation. The present Con-
gress will be followed by a divided one,
II which the Efforts Of either House
may be wholly neutralized by the other,
so that whatever measures be adopted
by the incoming session may stand IT.
reversible by any popular verdict till the
general elections Of 1876. As nothing
could be repealed by the next Democrat
ic House, except with the assent of the
Radical Senate this closing session,
which meets next week, may shape all
legislation for the coming two years.
If it could irise above mere partisan
ship in its dying moments, and give
few hours to the best interests of the
country, all patriots would rejoice. We
confess the prospect is not promising,
and we dare not encourage the nurs-
ing Of hope. Some two hundred of
the outgoing Congress 60 out probably
forever, and there is danger that they
will think more Of feathering their own
nests than of promoting the interests
of constituencies who have repudiated

THE DECEMBER BUSINESS OUT
LOOK
New York Bulletin, Dec. 2.

New YORK Bullst1ni Dec =
The farmers were rarely in better
position than they are at present, not
withstanding the sentimental COM
plants they are making. One thing Is
certain, they are getting more money
for their beef and pork than for years
past, and on all descriptions of grain,
save wheat, they are receiving prices
fully up to and in some cases even be-
yond last years mark. Let US see:
The cash value of corn received in Chi
cage during 1878 was S17,0O0,OOO the
cash value of that received IN 1874 has
been thus far sd, 100000, an increase
Of fifty per cent, and with six weeks
yet to run. The crop was less in guam
tity, but increased prices make up this
increase IN cash values. It Is esti-
mated that the farmers of the North
west have sold land Will SELL during
the fall and winter of 1874, S15l,0OO,-
0O0of products, including hOgs, wheat,
corn, rye, etc. With these facts accept
ed, the farmers may as well come out
from among the croakers. The some
time PROSTATE railway interests, under
a judiciOus system of enforced econo-
mics, are also beginning to do better;
aud improvement IL that direction is
always a sure gauge of improvement in
others. Manufactures, it must be ae-
knowledged, are still suffering from a
variety Of well understood causes, but,
with a general curtailment of produc-
ton to a point not in excess of the
temporarily diminished wants of the
country, the road to relief is before
them also. Upon one question only, in
seeking to forecast the future, have we
to deal with the elements of uncertain
ty-and that is, the course of Congress
on the finances. If wise counsels pre-
vail, that body VIII az once address
itself to the needful work OF bringing
back the country 10 a specie basis
And, that desideratum attained, there
Is nothing II the future, bearing upon
the progressive recovery of our COM
mercial and industrial prosperity which,
from our present standpoint, need oc-
casion any apprehension.

THE DAIRY INTERESTS IN TEN
NESSEE.

Probably no other branch of product
i've labor has made SO great progress IN
Europe, the United States and Canada
during the past year as that of dairy
husbandry. 1t is only a question of
time when the production of condensed
milk. choice butter and cheese will be
the largest and most profitable indus
try of Tennessee, and we are willing
that the UNION AND AMERICAN shall
be identified with the early develop
ment of q business operation which
promises so many benefits. Six years
ago there was not a butter or cheese
factory On the British Islands, nor on
the continent Of Europe; now they ex-
ist by hundreds, and give promise of
increasing to thousands.
Sealing butter in tin cans very much
as oysters are put up, is perhaps the
latest European invention TO preserve
it pure and sweet in any climate, and
for any length of time. A manufactu-
rer of butter in Denmark put up a
package in this way some eighteen
months since, and shipped it to Lon
don house dealing largely in the article,
with the request to test its keeping
qualities in a severe and satisfactory
way. This can Of butter from the
north of Europe was shipped from
London to Bolivia, south Of the Equa-
tor. After remaining in that tropical
climate the best part Of a year. it was
sent to New York, and fell into the
hands Of the President Of the New
York Butter and Cheese Exchange.
The butter had lost none Of its natural
aroma and was as good as new. a
fact Of so much Importance cannot be
lost On the large and enterprising but
ter and cheese dealers Of New York.
A vessel made of light TIN or galvan-
lied iron may contain, dramatically
sealed, fifty or more pounds of butter
or cheese, the package being enclosed
in a sound oak frkin for support and
as near alright as wood can be. In
word. the little can Of Danish butter
opzns the whole South American mar
kets to our dairy skill and industry.
The skllful preservation Of food Of
all kinds Is a matter of universal in
tersst; yet all know, there is defcien-
~ Of good milk, bntter and cheese on
the tables Of many families. The year
before the reciprocity treaty with
Canada terminated, the provincials
paid the dairymen of the United States
500. 600 for cheese imported for home
consumption. In 1873, they not only
made cheese enough to meet largely
increased home demand, but exported
Is. 4e3. 2II pounds,valued at g, SS0,412.
After supplying a liberal home con-
sumption of butter, they exported, last
wear. IS,4S3,2Il pounds of butter.
Canada farmers received for these two
items Of dairy produce exported, over
S5,O00,OO0 in gold; yet it takes four
thousand pounds Of good hay to win
ter a COW in Canada. Even along the
lake shore Of that excellent farm
ing State, Ohio, sailing vessel was
stove, and sunk by ice last month. In
Tennessee, our indigenous bluegrass
is still growing, and that, with orchard
grass and some others, including clover
and alfalfa, might afford sustenance for
thousands Of dairy cows.

THE FOREIGN BOsDHOLDERS.
A New scheme for Paying the South
ern State Debts


st. Louis Republican.
The foreign holders of the bonds of
certain Southern States have come, at
last. no the conclusion that these debts
are bad ones, and some compromise OF
their claims will have to be submitted
to. They have, accordingly, sent over
Mr.. John Maekinnon to this country,
With a proposition to be offered to each
of the States in default. The proposl-
ton is not remarkable for its hberailty.
1t is, that in each case, the present
bonds, bearing per cent. interest,
shall be refunded in new ones, either
bearing per cent. and payable IN ten
wears, or bearing 5 per cent. and paya-
bic In twenty years. In consideration
of this concession of one or two per
cent. in the interest rate, the State IS
to embody bond tax IN Its annual
revenue levy, and set aside the pro-
ceeds sacredly to the payment OF
the interest and principal OF its
debt. The bonds, principal and inter-
est, are payable in London IN gold.
The bill which Mr.. Mackinnon brings
with him TO be enacted by the State
Legislatures, provides that IN case the
Auditor refuses to levy the bond tax,
any bondholder shall hav, a right to
writ of mandamus from the State courts
to compel him to do so. The Govern
ors of Virginia, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas have agreed to
submit the scheme to their Legisla-
lures, some of them with recommend
alton in its favor. Georgia has reject
ed it, on the ground that the Bullock
bonds which it has disowned were
fraudulent, and it does not intend to
pay them, while the just debt Of the
State it is willing to pay in full, with
out any re-funding. North Cardinals
opposed to L. THIS State is now con-
sidering a proposition to be submitted
to its bondholders for refunding its
bonds at % cents, 163 cents, l24 cents
and 10 cents on the dollar. This scheme
would reduce the present debt of nearly
$40. 100000 to something like $1,000
OOO-a reduction which its creditors
will hardly submit to. South Carolina
has "sealed" her debt by repudiating
SI2.000,000 of it; Georgia has disOwned
SS,000.000 of hers, on the ground that 1t
was fraudulently contracted; Louisiana
has adopted a. -'re-funding" bill which
practically repudiates Sl5,000,00O Of
her debt, and Virginia and South Car
DINA have ceased to pay interest on
theirs, though without repudiating
them. The poverty of the Southern
States and the fact that the debts in
some cases were contracted by govern
ments imposed on the public without
their consent invest the subject with
serious difficulties, and it Is not easy to
see how it will be adjusted

SOME shallow theorists on national
finance say that al the despotic gov
ernments of Europe would back the
claims Of foreign bondholders, because
a national debt is a great check on Re-
publican America, and viii help to
keep the people down, while it tends to
place our Government more N sympa-
thy with the principles and practices
Of monarchy. Disguised in various
ways, this IS the substance Of much ar
gGment against the sustaining Of cur
public credit. Yet, If foreign powers
wished to weaken us. nothing would suit
the purpose so well as the total destruc-
ton Of our credit by ourselves. Moth
ing would place the United States IN
so critical an attitude as the precipita-
ton of war upon Us before We had time
u redeem our good name. In modern
finance, a nation without credit Is q
nation without influence or means Of
defense.

SALARIES OF STATE OFFICERS.

The Chattanooga Times has been fig
uring up the pay Of the State officers,
and we believe is correct in the follow
ing items: Comptroller, $3.50 net.
The perquisites have been very large
during the present term, but if there is
no more funding to be done hereafter,
the perquisites will be light. Treasurer,
Zoo net, with a heavy bond. The
clerks of each House usually receive Sc
per day, thesame as the Speakers, and
the assistant clerks and doorkeepers,
81 per day Of actual session, the same
as members. The Secretary Of State
has two years more to serve, cOnse-
quently his pay may not be a subject
of such general interest, but we believe
his salary is $3.50, with some not in
considerable pickings. What a pity he
Is allowed to hold over two years longer
when so many able and worthy men
could be induced to 90 to Nashville and
run for the Office in the early part of
January. The little places to fill, how
ever, will attract a goodly crowd, and
if the Legislature does not select able
men for the positions, it viii not be for
lack Of material.

EVEN Mississippi begins 20 take
hope, since the November upheaval and
the redampt on of her sister States on
either side, Alabama and Arkansas.
The Memphis Appeal says that many
of her best citizers who have been ar
ranging to abandon the homes of their
birth and childhood, have imbibed fresh
faith in the future, and will work with
renewed energy for the salvation of the
State. While it is true that toe ne
groes are IN the majority, yet they are
beginning TO understand their own in
terests better and TO discover the hol-
loFness of Radicalism. Nam of them
have become the owners Of land and
other property, and a great desire ex-
lists among others to possess themselves
of homes. These are generally the
mist influential ones, and they are be-
ginning to realize the poverty and dis.
tress that the high taxes of a corrupt
government brings upon the whole peo-
pie, eolored as well as white. In the
future elections in Mississippi, large
and intelligent class of colored people
are likely to burst the shackles of po-
htieal slavery, and vote for honest men
for Office who viii conduct the govern
ment for the benefit of the people and
not their oppression.

If they had let Minister Washburne
alone aud not trotted him out as the
probable Republican candidate for
President in 1876, the nation would
have known little about his response
bility for the salary grab. A Washing
ton correspondent Of the Springfield
Mass Republican says that when Mr..
Washburne was on a visit to the White
House a year ago last winter, he dis
covered a Presidential yearning for
more salary, and went to the leading
Republicans of the House urging that
the old compensation be doubled. He
requested Dawes, as Chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee, to take
the lead IN the movement, but Dawes
was mindful Of the wrath to come, and
