rESNEssEE's COAL AND IRON IN.
TERESTS.

Mr.. j. Lowthian Bell, of England,
President of the British Iron and Steel
Association. visited the iron and coal
district In Campbell county, accompa-
MED by number of citizens of Knox.
Vile, the other day, and the Press and
Herald says:
Mr.. Bell has been pretty much over
the United States, examining our coal
and iron ore, our methods of manufac-
ture, etc, and inquiring into our sys-
TEN of labor and matters generally as
connected with the iron or coal manu-
featuring industry. Not long since,
before the British Parliament, he ex-
pressed his belief that owing to the
growing inaccessibiity of coal In En-
gland, the mines being comparatively
worked out, it would not be many
years before Britain must look to
the United States for her iron. With
view to a correct knowledge Of the
coal and iron interests of the United
States, Mr.. Bell came, or was sent by
authority, to this country, TO make a
personal inspection. We understand
that he will make an official report OF
what he has learned, upon his return
to England. He is reticent, and seems
disposed rather to listen than to talk
He expressed himself yesterday, how
ever, to the effect that for the purposes
of manufacturing iron, East Tennessee
surpasses any section of the Union, the
coal and iron ore being of good quality,
accessible and inexhaustible, and IN
close proximity to each other. This Is
tribute from a gentleman who knows
whereof he speaks. Mr.. Bells English
ironmanufacturing establishments turn
out about 600 tons of IRON per day"
On the 10th inst, the Iron and Steel
Association will give a banquet, at
Philadelphia, to Mr.. Bell, and on the
10Th he will sail for Liverpool.

some Talk OF Modifying its Nest OBJ
tectIonabIe Features-DanEer that

Washington dec Y 1,,s Special to the Chicago
The advocates Of the Civil Rights
bill, finding themselves confronted by
the executive veto should they persist
in carrying that odious measure through
Congress, are now talking of compro-
mise of some of the more radical fea-
lures proposed In the original bill, In
hope of forcing action before the expi-
ration of the present Congress. As an
offset to themixed school question, they
propose to set apart the proceeds Of
sales of public lands, which shall con-
stitute an educational fund. Theamount
thus accumulated, they propose, shall be
distributed among the States on the
basis of illiteracy. Under this arrange
ment, the States of the South would
receive the largest share, and a pro-
vision would be Incorporated so as to
enforce, in an indirect manner, at
the cost of the Government, what they
have been frustrated in carrying
through, to the sure destruc ion of the
public school system of the United
States. The opponents of any Con-
gressional interference IN the matter
of schools, with the aid of the Demo-
cratic vote, will doubtless be able to
defeat any such application of the pub
lie money. 1t is feared that the ap-
preparation of the moneys contemplated
by this scheme would establish a sys-
tenn as extravagant and glazing In its
corruption as the defunct freedmen's
bureau.
washington (Dec. ~ Special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
There are grave apprehensions that
there Will be number of democrats
absent for the first few days of the ses-
sion, and that the administration lead
ers will take advantage of their alb
sence to pass the Civil Rights bill with
or without school feature. The only
danger of passing the bill is at the be-
ginning of the session, and the eonstit-
uencies should mark the Democrats
who may be at home when they ought
to be in their seats. The Democratic
members of the present House COM
prise number who seem, like Grant,
to regard their Office as perquisite,
and not as a public trust.

". In such condition of the money
market, practical man Will not give
more than $500 cash for such bond. or
so cents on the dollar. When referring
to the daily quotations Of bonds, let us
be practical and face all the facts
Other questions would arise under
the proposed commission to ascertain
what the bonds cost the holders. Sup
pose the present holder was a gull of
Wall street, and paid too much; shall
we redeem his follyi For many years
past our bonds have been oscillating up
and down, the football of spectators
and pools. Early last year they
ranged up in the eighties, and
if the facts were known, the great bulk
of those registered and funded under
the law of that year were bought by
the holders at the highest figures.
This would give them eight per cent.
on their investment, if all goes well.
Other States are to-day paying that
rate on face value. Tennessee herself
authorizes home and foreign capitalists
to collect ten per cent. from her citi-
Gems. If our correspondent expects
that by his plan he would discover a
single present holder who paid only
forty or fifty cents on the dollar, he is
much mistaken. Such men sold out
years ago. We say nothing of the
practical difficulties that would arise
under the proposed plan of scaling,
such as the questions: shouldthe bond
holder be put under oath; should his
oath be held sufficient, if not, what
other evidences should be required;
and how should foreign holders be
subjected to such conditions?

An interesting point in chancery
suit last week was whether a signature
had been written over the bottom lines
of an instrument, or whether the lines
had been written first. Tue letters OF
the signature were large, and ex ended
over some lines in different hand, diff
ferent ink and written with different
pen from either the signature or the
body of the instrument. 1t was deter
mined by a glass that the signature
was written over the lines. 1t is excit-
ing to have $500 hanging upon a
point like that.-CldrksviLle Tobacco

GRANTS INTEMPERATE HABITS.

A writer in the Cincinnati CONNER
ciGl discusses with considerable abun-
dance of detail Boss Grants habit of
taking too much whisky. He says the
practice is growing upon him, and that
of late he has been frequent
ly ION the ragged edge of
the jim-jams." Moreover, he has
acquired within the last eighteen
months puffy, fiabby appearance not
indicative of a temperate life. This
is all very probable. 1t is known that
Grant was obliged to resign from the
army in 1854 on account of drunken
habits; and it would be a wonder if he
should escape an entire relapse into
them In the latter part of his life.

THE Hartford Cosrunt asserted the
other day that parties in the South
were buying mp elaims for slaves, IN
the hope that the Federal Government
would finally pay them, and mentioned
ex-senator D. L. Yulee, of Florida, as
engaged in the business. That gentle
man authorizes the Savannah NesCs to
say that the statement is unaualifedIy

not he allowed without a contest and
ayigorous one. How far the desperate
men will dare to execute the plot which
they have laid remains to he seen. The
result to-day is still uncertain be-
tween Wilson and King, and we doubt
whether the actual facts can be known
until it is seen whether the King men
dare to make officially, the fraudulent
returns which are now nnofticially re-
ported by the King organs. If they do
an Opposition Congress will puncture
the corruptionist and unseat him.

The French and German Armies.

The London Times says: France will
not enter on another war with the or
ganizatien of the Empire any more than
with the discipline of Algeria. Through
all the strifes of party and the intrigues
Of pretending dynasties, the reform of
the French military system has proceed
ed without intermission. We are
not concerned with the details
Of the new organization, or
with its merits; though it may be
taken for granted that Marshal MacMa-
hon and his colleagues have directed
their attention to those defects which
fastened the catastrophe and made the
ruin more complete. But one thing is
beyond q doubt. Whether the new
French army be better than the old
one or not, it will be immensely larger,
understanding by 'army'' the whole
national force which can be brought
under arms for the purpose of cam
paign. In fact. if the plans of the
French government be carried
out, and the finances of the
country will bear the strain. no
long time will elapse before France has
a national force comparable with that
which Germany possessed in 1870. In
deed, in the present temper of the peo-
pleOt would be possible to enroll ali the
men in the country, young and middle
aged. for some sort of service. If Ger

sessed in the late war, corresponding

and relieve all the younger
levies from all home duties, besides
furnishing contingents from its own
more effective elements, may be neces-
sary measure. But it is an ominous
sign that. as our correspondent OBJ.

strum in time of peace" The German
military authorities appear to fear, re-
marks the Spectator, that the new mil
itary organization of France will place
a larger force at the disposal Of Mar

mon for defense. The Emperor ha,
therefore laid before the Fedora
Council a bill by which he il
empowered to organize and summon
the Landstrum-that is all able bodie,
men within the Empire-to place then
under military law, and given to in
clude them in the Landwehr. Should
this astounding proposal be accepted
the whole nation will be at the dispo
sal Of the Commander.in-chief fer war
and he will be able to fill up the gap.
in the Landwehr by calling out tn
younger ranks of the Landstrum. Fo'
instance, supposing the army and Land
wehr insufficient, he can call all mer
aged thirty-three and thirty-four from
the Landstrum, placing them in thu
regularly organized ranks Of the Land
wehr. That is, as some GOO, 900 men il
Germany attain those years in any
given year, he can add, say, 500,O0t

for them will be all ready.
