Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1874-03-28
Mr.. Fillmore.

The New Orleans Republican gives
the following just estimate of the
character and public services of the
ex-President Fillmore. 1t is not only
correct but much fairer than any we
have seen in Republican journals:
There has been perhaps no better
representative American than Millard
Fillmore, man of unpretending but
unshaken integrity, of unostentatious
and tolerant faith, of large love for his
whole country and with no prejudice
against any portion of its people a
mind substantial and comprehensive,
capable of all public affairs, yet with no
abnormal development of any special
faculty into Oratory, poetry or political
intrigues. 1t is probable that the char
acter of Millard Fillmore will compare
very nearly with that of Washington in
its mental and moral balance, and in a
uniform reputation that has defied and
survived the INSCRIPTIONS assaults
which capacious ambition always di-
rects against unpretending integrity.
Mr.. Fillmore lived at the time when
it especially required sterling qualities
to fill the executive station. He stood
as breakwater between the interests
and the prejudices ofsections. AS the
author of a tariff not sufficiently pro-
tectiye as to satisfy the timid or cove
tious, yet recognizing principle that
exasperated the free traders. he excited
the hostility of the one without gaining
the enthusiasm of the other He did not,
perhaps satisfy Greeley. and certainly
did notappease Rhett. In like manner,
his approval of the measures known as
the compromise acts, exposed him to
the discomfort of abolition without
committing notification to his support.
He stood in a calmn and resolute at
titude, keeping apart infuriated an
tagonists. His successors were not so
resolute or so successful. Perhaps the
day of mediation had passed.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1874-03-28
DECREASE OF IMPORTS.

Here are some figures from the bu-
reau of statistics which show a graft
flying reduction in our Imports most
healty financial sign: Ofcotton piece
goods there were imported in 1872,
l31 ,617 ,336 yards; in 1873 only 109,-
500, ,345 yards. Other fabrics of "a sim
liar character are correspondingly di-
pinished iron, however, is among the
most important of our foreign supplies,
and diminutiop there is specially no.
ticeable. In 1879 there we're brought
across the ocean 467 ,304 tons of rail-
way iron 6i,553 tons of bar, angle,
bolt and rod iron. and l95, l5l tons of
pig-iron. In 1873 the importations of
railroad iron amounted to 185. .702 tons;
pig-iron, l02, ,624 tons, and other kinds
of iron, 23,006 tons. This reduction
is equivalent to $40, 100000.
When we remember that we have
the greatest cotton growing country
in the word. and iron enough to supply
all mankind, does it not seem an out
rage upon neommon>sepse to be Obliged
to import anything composed of either
cotton or iron And will not this out
rage sometime produce change in this
respect. and enable the United States
TO utilize its owh un0aaalled resources,
aud so become independent tnapcl-
ally as it now is politically?-&. LoHis

A. s. JOHNSON,
General Commanding.

BECK made big speech in Congress,
recently, arraigning the republican
party. In it he referred to the infa-
nous Sanborn contracts which brought
Ben Butler to his feet. What follow
ed is thus described by the correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial:
The debate grew spirited and was
carried on principally by Messrs. But
Ter and Foster to the intense astonish-
ment and delight Of nearly all who
heard it, and the House and galleries
were quite full. While everybody else
shrunk back from the Massachusetts,
bully, Mr.. Foster boldly came to the
