poets for Good Crops.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Have YOU plenty
of office seeking material in your county /?
If you have not we can send you large
installment, for we have legions, and
would like to exchange few of them for
good intelligent voters.
1 hear that all of our present incumbents
are candidates for reelection. 1t is UNDER
stood, L believe, that Judge Young aspires
TO the position he holds by appointment.
His course, as Judicial officer, so far L
hear, is without complaint. His moral
and legal qualifications strongly recon-
mend him 70 the public favor. It is also
reported that the Hon. j. NJ. Thornburgh
desires Congressional honors a second
time. His course in Congress, SO far as i
hear, is warmly approved, and as you know
he is strong team in himself ami I am
confident the people are satisfied that his
efforts have ibeen to promote the general
welfare.
By the way, have you heard any one
specially intimated as prospective Joint
representative in our next General ASSEM-
bly,? do not know who anticipates the
mantle of new-fledged honors. Suppose
Anderson county will, by courtesy, be al
lowed the honor of furnishing the man ;
and think all good citizens should de.
mand and support some one of progressive
tenets, and pledged to thorough econo-
my.
The prospects for a fine yield of wheat
are remarkably good. Certainly an en-

ever looked at.

French Anecdotes of American Life

Among the most absurd instances of
what Europeans can be made to believe
true of US, is one incident taken from La
Vie Pdrisier,le, in which q French writer
claims to give faithful portraiture of life
in America. The author tells his country
men what happened in his own personal
experience, on the occasion of visit to a
young American lady, to whom he had
been previously introduced.
"'One evening" says he, I found Alice
alone in the parlor. Her cousins had started
out for a walk with their beaux. 1 was
surprised to notice that she was not in her
usual elegant toilette, and when L asked
the reason, she said she was warm and
tired
"' Let US 60 to Hoboken,' / proposed.
The fresh air from the river will do you
good
"' No. she replied.
Will you 60 out, and take some roast
oysters and lobster salad ?"
"'No, am not hungry
well, lthen,' 1 suggested, 'let us go to
Maillards's and have an ice.'
"'No, tell you,' she said. But wait
If / should go out with you what would
the whole affair cost, including the supper
the theatre, and all the usual expenses :?
as hardly know L answered besides
what difference does it make It's of no i'm.
portance. Come on, please, and do not
worry yourself about my purse
"' Just listen to me- said she. You would
spend about fifteen dollars. Now, instead
of going out, let US remain at home, and
take cup of tea, and you give me the
fifteen dollars.'"
The writer not only vouches for the
authenticity Of this story, but gives others
equally ridiculous. The Figaro reprinting
them, gravely remarks that it Is not proba.
BILE that such manners are universal in
America-evidently considering they are,
however, by no means uncommon.

w. B. SCOTT, JR., late editor of the
Maryville Republican, and a son of the
senior publisher of that paper, has writ
ten long letter to the Nashville Banner,
which is styled Sharp Review" Of
Senator Brownlow's second letter on the
evil rights question. The writer sets out
by intimating very plainly that Republi-
can journals in East Tennessee have ex-
hibited an unwillingness to publish his
ANSWER to Senator Brownlow's second
letter." We know nothing about what
papers he has reference to. His father is
the principal owner Of the Maryville Re-
publican and the young man is partner,
as we understand, and was until recently
the reputed editor. II he could not get his
piece Published in his own paper he can
say so, and thereby acknowledge that he
has voluntarily, for pay, closed his o,Un
columns against defense of his own race.
SO far as the CHRONICLE is concerned, we
have neUer refused to publish anything
presented from respectable colored man
in defense of his race. Our columns have
always been open for such articles.
4HeSS OWLS HuO are pdTaueu In Middle
and West Tennessee papers, as Republi-
cans, and who arc making threats about

make, as we have reason to know. In
1868 they tried to secure money for pub
fishing paper in favor Of Stokes for Gov
ernor, but few men here in Knoxville
paid them more to support SeDter, and
they supported him. Ever since that
time, until within few weeks past, thew
have supported the nominees of the Dem
ocratic party. including Gov. Brown and
Others. Now they have sold out the edi.
torial columns Of their paper to clever
gentleman and Republican, and are at
tempting to make the impression that the
Republican papers of East Tennessee are
closed against defense Of the Civil Rights
OF colored men. A man, who, for money.
would close the columns Of a journal of
which he is the owner, against a defense
OF his own principles, would for the same
reason sell his race into slavery again. and

ALL HONOR TO BOSTON.

The people of steady-going Boston are
entitled to all praise. When we approach
them on business, we may expect them to
talk business and act business, but when
the cry for help goes up from the distressed
they are prompt to afford relief. They do
not stop to ask whether the cry comes from
their friends or their foes, but 60 right
down into their pockets and respond with
a liberal donation. 1t was so when the
people of East Tennessee were verging
upon famine in 1864, when two large hos
tile armies had consumed their substance
and left them helpless in mid
winter. 1t was so last summer,
when Memphis and Shreveport were
being devastated by a pestilence which
threatened to depopulate two fair cities.
1t was 80 when the devouring flames had
left thousands of families homeless and
destitute in the great northwestern me.
tropolis. Now it flashes northward over
the wires thst ten thousand people in
Louisiana, poor, unfortunate Louisiana,
are in danger of starvation, the country
being inundated by the late floods, and by
the first mail Boston sends ten thousand
dollars for their relief, and stands ready to
double that sum twenty times over, IL it is
necessary for the relief of suffering hui
manity. We can not refrain from saying,
Glorious Boston," Let all other COM
munities emulate her bright example.

The Perry county, Indiana, Changers
have been made the victims of a first-class
swindle. \ chap canvassed the county
selling goods from the Grange store y
by sample, for marvelously low fgures-in
some instances more than one hundred
per cent. less than was asked by the mid
die men," He took half the pay in ad-
vance, and promised to deliver goods
within week. His proposition was ex-
ceedingly "thin,n but he succeeded in
making great many sales. The
happy purchasers have been anx-
iously waiting for the coming of
the Grange steamer, which was
to deliver them their sugar, tea, coffee,
salt, &C., at fabulously low prices, but it
has not come and the Agent" has gone
to parts unknown.
Our advice to our friends Of the Oranges
is, if man comes to you and proposes to
sell articles for less than they cost at the
sea-board markets, set him down as an ar
rant humbug and a miserable swindler.
Let.him know that if he must swindle
some one to make living, that be had
better go to Perry county, Indiana, or
somewhere else, where the farmers do not
take the newspapers.

THE SPRING TRADE.

The Spring trade has been light in the
large cities of the East. Many buyers in
the West and South have made their
Spring purchases at wholesale points
nearer home. In the West this has made
business better in Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati, and in the South at l. Louisville,
Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. The
New York Tribune, having made cam
vass of the trade in New York, sums up its
conclusions as follows:
"Wide and careful inquiries by Tribune
reporters in some of the leading lines of
business show seriously diminished vol
ume of transactions in very important
trades, and a lack of spirit and confidence
in almost every activity connected with
them. The great annual stream of buy
ers, which has its sources in every part of
the country, and pours itselfupon this city
every spring and autumn, is considerably
diminished. Retail dealers everywhere
are slow TO run any risk by making large
investments, and no small proportion of
them find it difficult to provide what they
owe to those from whom they havebought.
Collections are generally slow, and in the
South veXatiously so. OF the four great
trades (the wholesale dry-goods, the cloth
ing, the grocery, and the iron trades), the
first and the last appear to have suffered
the most. The wholesale grocers have been
least affected, for their business caters to
the appetite where economy is apt to be
tardy and fieetingu
