CARING FOR THE POOR.

Some tine ago we called attention to the
neglect of those who are so unfortunate as
to live by public charity. We stated then
that the provisions for taking care of the
INDECENT poor were fearfully inadequate.
In some of the counties of the State the
poor houses are unfit for the habitations of
brutes, to say nothing of human beings.
1t appears that this restitution and GRIM
inal neglect is not confined to the sparsely
populated counties, but prevails also in the
populous and wealthy districts. Three
Justices of the Peace in Devidson county
have been visiting the asylum in that
county. The Banner says:
They inform us that they never beheld
so wretched place nor more miserable in
mates, who seemed to take what care of
themselves as was possible, the devil TAX
ing the hindmost. The beds which orig
inally contained straw were now nearly,
if not quite empty, the diseased, the old
and the feeble, being compelled to sleep on
Stats. Each inmate was supplied with two
blankets, but there were no sheets, the pill
lows were without cases, while many had
to take the remaining wad of hay in the
dirty ticks, to lay their heads upon.
One old man, paralyzed, and barely able
to get around his room, said he could get a
sufficient amount of hay to lay on ii he
were able, but he was not. All of the sew
enty persons were black for the want of
water; the rooms were represented as be-
ing little better than hog-pens, glass was
out of the windows, admitting the free pas
sage of cold, wintry blasts, the sick and
dying were visited by the county's physi-
clan, and instead of living on the nourish-
ing food required, they were dieted with
corn bread and fat meat, coffee without
milk or sugar, and sometimes they had no
coffee at all. Lunatics were allowed 20 run
about at will, and, in fact it appeared that
the whole institution, with its mock build
ings, had been loosely kept.
This is a most deplorable state of affairs
for community that processes to be civil
lized and Christianized. We trust Knox
county, and all other counties of the State,
will avoid such a thing, but we are not
rightsure they will We doubt if our own
county can now boast of such accommoda-
lions for the poor at the county asylum as
the dictates of humanity would demand.

pital and insane asylum combined, where
in sick and well, sane and insane, blacks
and whites were all mixed together indis-
criminately, and in some instances, pa
tients with loathsome diseases were in
rooms with healthy ones. The food given
is neither good nor sufficient in quantity,
while a total disregard of the association
of the sexes exists, and an idiotic female,
who had been an inmate for five years,
was found in state of pregnancy; that
the inmates, without regard to sex, were
kicked, cuffed and whipped with a knot

that the manner in which the poor house
is governed is a disgrace to the county.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE NATIONAL CUR.
RENCY.

Senator Bogy, of Missouri, stade speech
in the Senate on Monday, in which he
complained that the South and West have
not received an equal proportion in the
distribution of the currency. His COM
plants are no doubt just and well founded.
The South certainly has not had fair
proportion in the distribution of the eur
rency. 1t is so in Tennessee and it is SO
in other States. The entire circulation of
the national banks in this State amounts
to little more than $500, 600 We have
a population of 1,25S,52O. This gives US
less than two dollars for each man, woman
and child in the State. The State
of Rhode Island has a circulation in
currency amounting to about 500, 900, 600 or
more than six times that of Tennessee.
AT the last census, this State had a popu-
lation of 217, 35S. This would give to each
man, woman and child in the State, if
equally divided, more than one hundred
dollars. This may not be the fairest way
of stating the matter, but let it be stated in
any other shape, and it will appear very
clearly that Tennessee has not received
fair proportion of currency. Some of the
Southern States have not received so large
proportion even as Tennessee has. Tex
as, with her immense territory and fast
increasing population, has little more
than q million of currency.
In the South we have even less currency
than has been allowed us. Whenever
Southern national banks have gone into
liquidation Eastern capitalists engaged in
banking have bought up their issues, pay
ing as high as five per cent. premium upon
them, in order to increase their own circu-
lation. Thus the South has been curtailed
of its share of currency, for the reason that
we have been too poor to compete with
our vitality Eastern friends in absorbing
or taking up the issues of banks which
have gone into liquidation. a remedy
might be fixed by Congress in this respect,
by providing that when a bank goes into
liquidation its issues should be taken up in
the same State in which the bank was To-
Gated. This would do something in the
way of preventing the big fish from con-
Stunning the smaller ones. g. @
That such an unfair distribution as that
complained of exists now is 40 reason
why 1t should always be that way. The
South and West united would exert a
power in Congress which could not be re-
sisted With such combination they
could accomplish whatever they desired.
The East, seeing that the South and West
understood the situation and were going
to stand up for their rights, would quietly
submit to the dictates of reason, and the
whole matter, it seems to us, would be
| easily and pleasantly adjusted. 1t is a
| question of no minor Importance and well
worthy of the closest scrutiny and most
earnest attention on the part of our ma
! tional lawmakers.

RAILROAD CONNECTION WITH THE SOUTH

While the people of Knoxville and East
Tennessee have shown much apathy on
the subject of direct railroad communica-
ton with the South, to Macon and thence
to the seaboard, our Georgia neighbors
have never relineuished their plan of
reaching US by way of Rabun Gap. a
prominent gentleman of this city has re-
ceived letter from GAINESVILLE, Georgia,
from which we are permitted to present
the following extract:
II CLARKsvILLE, GA, Dec. -, 1873.
i last night returned from u meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Northeastern
Railroad Company, held on Thursday last,
at which meeting it was determined to put
Chief Engineer Turner to surveying and
locating the road from the intersection of
the n. T.. with the Atlanta and Richmond
Air Line to the Rabun Gap upon the
LIST of January, 1874, and we confidently
hope to put the whole5 so miles under con-
tract, with 500 OF 500 convicts at work in q
few days after the survey is completed.
The road will be graded to the Air Line,
thirty-eight and half miles, by the first
of January. The cost of grading from the
Air Line via GAINESVILLE will not exceed
! s., 800 per mile and down the Tennessee to
the mouth of Nantehala not more than
| s. Oh0 per mile, which gives us the cheapest
road in all the country. The cars will be
running from Athens TO the Air Line in
! June, and if we are successful rs We hope
! to he, ia one year we will have the entire
grading to the Gap completed. We won t
( owe dollar, nor have we q speculative dol
/ lar invested or subscribed. We intend to
strive earnestly for the Chicago and At
! lanta route, and notwithstand the y. c. &
! :. &. action, we think that we can by easier
| grades, shorter routes and cheaper roads by
reason of more favorable COUNTRY induce
the trade to Athens and Augusta to At
| lanta and Macon as distributing points and
| Port Royal, Savannah and Brunswick
shipping points.
| This letter is from gentleman of verac-
| ity, and one who knows whereof he speaks.
| 1t looks like business, and should prove al
| incentive 10 our people, not only to hope
| for the early completion Of a line that will
| give us direct communication with Macon,
together with Savannah and other South.

and main for that much desired

Gap, ii is certain to be completed in a
short time to Naryville, the present ter
minus of tie Knoxville and Charleston
road. No other route presents such in
dlcements to tAe great independent lines
to the South, 50 much 2gitated of late by
Chicago and Cincinnati, as this. 1t is
shsrter and can be constructed for less
| money, ...
Knoxville has more interest in the COM
! pletaon of such line as tkis than in any
Other road now spoken OF. Our connec-
! ton with Cincinnati at an early day Is q
| fixed fact, and the next thing we want
assured IS the connection with the South

WE have before Us a copy of the Ma
eAiRists' and BIdcksnliGhs' Monthly Jour
nal, published at Cleveland, Ohio, in
which number of our citizens who were
engaged in the late difficulties between
the railroad and its employees here are Sc
verely denounced for what they did. Lam
guage is used which is untruthfGl. In or
der to make these gentlemen appear ride
ulous, their names are paraded in cut
over which appear the skull and cross
bones. This cut is accompanied by AZ ed
itorial, the chief feature OF which is sour
rilous abuse.
Here where these gentlemen are known
this does not amount to much. The gem
tlemeu named are known as men of cour-
age, OF 'yeracity and integrity. They stand
high in this community, enjoying the
confidence and esteem of all who know
them. We regret to see such spirit as is
displayed by the editor of this journal. 1t
does the men whom he seeks to iDjure no
harm where they are known. A good
cause can always be defended without
heaping calumny upon those who are its
Opposers.
