THE people of Tennessee are OPP
pressed with burdensome taxation from
one end of the State to the other. Hon.
est farmers, who toll day in and day out
for their daily bread, are compelled to
stint themselves and deny their families of
not only the pleasing luxuries, but also of
the nece ssities Of life, in order to gather
little meaus TO satisfy the tax. gatherer in
mis- annual rounds IL is no uncommon
thing to hear the farmer say a. want to
sell this horse-in fact, am compelled to
to sell him in order to raise money to pay
my taxe-, otherwise, would keep him
and make more money out Of him"
The masses Of the people are honest, and
rather than do an act that has even the
appearance of wrong, will sacrifice
their own convenience. But while
this is true, and while the farmer
isselling his last horse OF his last COW to
pay his taxes, he will at the same time
want 10 know If this hard earned money
is properly applied to the uJes of the State.
II he is told that the Comptroller Of the
State Treasury paid twelve thousand dol
lars, or that his friends paid that amount
for him, for the position he holds, he is apt
70 conclude that all is not right. These
unsophisticated taxpayers will very ma
turally want TO know what motive Capt
Hobbs had for resigning bis office in con-
sideration of the sum Of twelve thousand
Collars, and they will not believe that the
appointment Of his successor after such a
transaction lie not mere accident. Dem
ocratic papers ought TO come out and deny
the charges made in the Hobbs case, and
prove they are not true. or If they are hon
est men, and believe Hobbs 4 Co. guilty,
they ought to. denounce the transaction
and assist in exposing the Office traders

Hon. J. NJ. THoRNBURGH introduced a
bill sometime since which passed the
House on Saturday, and which is of inter-
sst to quite number ofex- Federal officers
and soldiers in East Tennessee. The bill
provides that the first section of a bill
passed in March, 1869, providing for the
payment of horses and equipments lost by
officers or enlisted men in the military
service, shall not be construed to deny
payment for horses which may have been
purchased by them in States then in insur-
rection. There are some cases where pay
ment has not been allowed to officers and
soldiers in Tenne ssee, simply because the
horses were purchased in a rebelious State.
This bill of Col. Thornburgh's is just and
we hope it may become law.

HOBBS" Hobbs? The names familiar.
We ought to know that fellow. Didn't
he marry into the ring family Morris
torn Gazette.
Yes, Hobbs married into the ring family.
The wedding cost him just $4,000. Then
he got divorce and that cost the ring
$4,000. Out of pocket so far $500 But
the office, it is estimated, is worth for the
term at least $4,000. So the net profit is
about S41 900. That's the gain in one sin.
gle transaction by the close corporation"
How much it has made out of the fund
ing bill, the sale of delinquent railroads
and other similar transactions is I'M
known, but it isa question upon which the
people want information.

WE publish to-day, as we have published
almost every day from the beginning OF
the agitation of the subject, letters which
show clearly the drift of public sentiment
in East Tennessee upon the subject of the
civil rights bill. We have not deemed it
expedient to Increase the public excitement
10y discussing the subject, for we have not
believed, and do not yet believe, that the
bill will become law. But those men,
bers of Congress who read the CHRONICLE
have not failed to note popular opinion on
the subject as reflected in our columns, and
we invite their attention TO the expediency
of legislation so far in advance of public
sentiment as the one now before them.
Those of them who look upon the bill as a
measure of justice, have to consider how
far 1t is the part Of craftsmanship to look
to popular prejudice. In this case, they
will find it a consideration worthy of
special weight.

woRK1NeMEN IN EUROPE AND AMERICA

The condition of the laboring men in
America, is the subject for congratnlation.
Figures show that many articles of prime
necessity for the laboring man are as low
here as elsewhere. The New York Times
collates some figures from reports of the
wages of workingmen in this country and
Europe, from,which we make the following
digest
If we take an ordinary farm-laborer in
Massachusetts,, we find that his weekly
wages are So, with board-which is un-
doubtedly equivalent to $40. The highest
wages in England, paid in Lincolnshire,
are IS Il, without board in Kent, Sc 81 !;
in Devonshire and Cornwall, 81 0S; in
Ireland, 81 81, without board in France,
the highest weekly wages are 81 90, with
board; in Prussia, 50 S. in Denmark,
81 As; in Italy, IS S9-all with board.
If we turn now to the trades, the differ
ence is even more remarkable. We find
that blacksmith in Massachusetts re-
ceives SIS 80 per week in England, 81 80 /;
in Scotland, 81 62 in Germany, So IS +;
in Prussia, 81 %; in France, Sc Of.
Our most expensive trades here are the
building trades, and in them we see the
enormous difference Of wages tbetween the
two continents. A first class molder of
bricks earns 500 ~, with board, in Massa-
chusetts, and s. 81, without board in
England. A mason is worth S24 here,
against $40 II in England, 80 IS in Scot
land, 81 30 in Prussia, and 50 p in Italy.
A brck-layer is paid S24 here, against
SO II in England, and S. 81 in Germany,
A plastsrer commands S24 in America
while his wages in Europe vary from Sc 0S
in Italy to ST. OF in Prussia. A carpenter
earns SIT in Massachusetts, while in Eng
land he would earn SO II, in Scotland
81 81, in Germany 50 %, and in Switzer-
land s. 10. Plumbers earn the compare
lively low wages in Massachusetts Of SIG
in England they are paid 50 70, in Germany
81 SO. In the business of stating houses
the wages here are SIS, to about So in
Europe. In painting they are Sl7, to about
$40 in England, and about ST. in Ger
many.

THE civil rights bill has dampened the
ardOr of politicians. 1t has 80 aroused
prejudices that several aspirants for the
United States Senate and Congress refuse
to stand as candidates, because, if elected,
they would have to sit by " niggers,n sew
eral Of whom are members Of Congress and
one Senator. We propose to interview
Ex President Johnson, and see if the pre-
vailing malsdy has struck him In that
way. At latest advices the Niger" Sem
ator was not considered serious obstacle.

THE Common Council Of Nashville ara
considering the propriety ofstopping work
on new public school building because
of the possible passage Of the Civil Rights
bill. We quite agree with the Chatta-
nooga Times, that there are several things
to be done before resorting to such a pol
icy, and those men who for political pur-
poses are encouraging any such action,
are doing themselves and the State great
injury. We do not yet believe the bill
will become law, but if 1t does there is
time then to say what ought TO be done.

THE Memphis AUaiaHche says of the
address of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, that ait deals wholly in gem
eralities, not touching upon any of the
issues certain to enter into the political
CANVASS" That is just what Mr.. John
Circular intended it should he. Glittering
generalities are much easier to deal with
than some Of the issues that are certain to
enter into the canvass.

THERE was lively discussion in the
Southern Methodist Conference, at Louis

with the NJ. +. Church. The report was
ably opposed, on the ground that it rected
events of the past calculated to stir up
points Of difference unnecessarily.

The HarbOr Lights.
BY JOHN W CHADWICK.

Just at the harbor's mouth she sfood'
Behind her was the beacon white,,,
Which sends its kindly warning 10, lo Tgbt
From evening shade TIL inoinNe
Above her vas the golden sun, ,o;,.
Gora Golden shone her tossing halr;
The oce ms azure at ner iS a., ~ oo,,,,.or.
with her blue eyes couid not compare.
Fu,, sheer the cliff whereon she stood,
AnJ, though her eyes were downward cast,
Isfiil could sow my boat an ar
And see their glory as passed.
Patiently there she watched her line,
That sank among the golden weed.
"Who would not be fish thought I,
''By such sweet hands If doomed to bleed"
Sweet hands, but browner than the rock
Whereon her pretty feet had place:
Which, browner yet. laid hold of it
With naked purity and g.ace.
One day dared to speak to her:
what have YOU caught to-day my dear?''
"Notbing but Just thought or two;
More thoughts than fish come swimming here.
"And have you caught this thought, my dear,
That love you and yon love me?"
dared not speak the question out;
Such joy as that might never be-
So every day pass her by,
But cannot bring my lips to say,
"Ny heart is caught II non your hook,
And cannot tear itself away.
WHY sbould speak? She would not slip
From off the rocks info my boat,
And say: "As thus foreyermore
Let us together sit and float"
She would not love-'tis not her time;
But naught that she can do or say
Can rob me of my right divine
To love and worship her alway.
maiden at the harbor's mouth!
By day, with their distracting light,
Your eyes will wreck more venturous hearts
Than ever beacon saved by night.
