Z CHICAGO NOE.

a disgraceful scene took place in Chicago
social standing and intelligence went TO
the city hall, before the city council, to
present to that body petition signed 10y
8irteen thousand women against the pro-
posed repeal of the Sunday-saloon closing
ordinance. The council heard their petit
ton, and then, by vote of - to Il, passed
a law permitting saloons to be kept open
on Sunday. The ladies then proceeded
back to the Methodist Church 20 report the
result Of their mission. The Telegraph
reports their march from the city hall to
the church as follows:
The defeated ladies were assailed with
yells and howls from one of the vilest
crowds that could be raked from the gut
ters OF the city, who pressed so closely upon
the little band that, had they not been
protected by q few men among the crowd,
there is little doubt that violence would
have been offered them. Indeed, one
brute did trip one of the ladies, but SUNK
away before the fist of a gentleman stand
ing near. The mob followed the ladies the
entire distance back 10 the church, yelling
every moment like Camanches, and pre-
senthg one Of the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed in the city"
Such proceedings are an outrage, dis
graceful TO the age in which we live, and
will do much TO strengthen the temperance
movement, which seems TO bt spreading
and successful beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine.

Boss TWEED AGAIN.

Tweed, when originally sentenced 10y
Judge Davis, was committed to the county
jail of New York City. The same day the
clerk was ordered by Judge Davis to
change the sentence 10 Sing Sing. 4 mo-
ton has been lately made 10y Tweed's
counsel before Judge Brady, 10 change the
sentence TO what it was when it was orig
inally entered. 1t appears from the afida-
Wit accompanying the papers, made by the
clerk, that Judge Davis made the
change in the oder, not publicly in
open court, in the presence of the prisoner,
but in an under tone rather privately to
the clerk. Upon these statements Judge
Brady holds that the change was illegal
and that the Boss must be transferred to
the county Jail. The latter prison is in
New York city, in the charge of Tweed's
friends, and we suppose the change will
prove quite agreeable. The appeal made
for Tweed's conviction by the jury, is still
pending before the Court of Appeals, which
may set aside the verdict. The practice in
New York is different from that in Tonnes
see. In the former, when prisoner is
convicted by a jury it is presumed that be
is guilty and he punished according to the
sentence of the Court, unless the Court Of
Appeals reverses the judgment. Under
this practice Tweed is now in prison, al.
though there is yet a bare possibility that
the court Of last resort may award him q
new trial

REPORTED VOLCANO IN NORTH CAROLINA

We published few days ago an item
from North Carolina paper reporting the
following:
The residents in the vicinity of Bald
Mountain, in Western North Carolina, are
very much excited about a rumbling
noise that is almost constantly going on
in the mountain, Earring their houses so
that the dishes rattle on the shelves. It
has been going on nearly a week, and
there is about one-half acre of land on the
mountain that the snow would not lay
upon. This mountain lays in Mcdowell
county, in the bend of Broad River, just
opposite the Chimney Rock"
1t was reported in New York yesterday
morning, by special dispatches from Ra-
leigh, that the mountain had erupted, and
that great CONSERVATION prevailed in the
neighborhood. The agent Of the Associ-
ated Press telegraphed to this city for par
ticulars. We have arranged to get the ear
lest information on the subject, but ap-
prehend that the report is exaggerat-
ed, and has for its foundation the above
facts.
There are but few volcanoes in the United
States and these are mostly in Oregon and
California. There are eighteen in Central
anu DOuln <AHleTlCd ttlOOg
the range of the Andes mountains. They
are generally found near the ocean or some
large body of water. The great force and
power that is developed by volcanic erup-
tions comes from steam and gas generated
from water. No other force could up
heave vast mountains and plains
as has been done in volcanic erup,
tons. There have been volcanoes
at points as far from large bodies of water
as two hundred miles or more. but they
are exceptional. There is nothing in the
geological formation of Western North
Carolina that would lead one to expect
volcanic action. The particular mountain
is on the line between Tennessee and
North Carolina, southwest Of Greeneville.
There is q small range marked on the map
as " Bald Mountain" but several points
are locally known by that name. We do
not know precisely which one is meant in
this connection.

THE trustees Of the Cincinnati Southern
Road have advertised for proposals for
building sixty additional miles Of road
from Chitwood south through Scott and
Morgan counties. The above work in
cludes heavy rock cuttings 1900 feet of

about 300 lineal feet of truss bridging, in
spans Of 10 to 200 feet and about 1900 feet

This contract locates the road TO the Emory
river. 1t may go on TO point on the East
Tennesse, Virginia and Georgia Railroad,
six miles west of Chattanooga, or connect
with the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad at Loudon, Sweetwater
or Philadelphia. Knoxville must have
connection with the road az some point
We suggest that our Board Of Trade put
itself in communication with the trustees
as soon as practicable, 70 ascertain just
what the latter are able 10 do towards
building a connecting road. We have not
now before Us copy o; he char
ter Of The road and can not,
therefore, say whether the trustees
have the power 10 build connecting
lines. But Knoxville should know just
what she must do TO secure this connection,

The city at hearl feels that we must have it,
and the sooner we know what we must do
70 secure it, the better.

Congress and the Financial Question.

Unless postponed by the Army Appro-
priation Bill, the Senate will tomorrow
commence the discussion on Senator Mer-
rimon's motion instructing the Finance
Committee to report bill Increasing Ma
tional Bank circulation to $500 OOO, 900.
Five Senators have intimated desire to
speak on the subject, and others will be
drawn into the discussion, so that a vote
will probably not be reached before Satur-
day next.
Horace Maynard's " free banking bill''
will be crowded out of its regular order to-
morrow by the transportation bill, and
afterward by the appropriation bill, and
when it finally comes up large number
OF speeches must be made before it goes to
the Senate.
1t is quite certain, therefore, that
nothing relating to finance will be perfect
ed this month, for If a House measure
should go to the Senate il would be block
| ed by debate upon the bill for overturning
the Louisiana State government, which
comes up after Senator Merrimon's motion
is disposed of. Seven Senators have indi-
Gated a desire to speak upon the Louisiana
question, which will occupy the attention
| ofthe Senate one week at least.
II seems quite certain that the issue of a
portion Of the forty-four million reserve
will be'legalized, and that Congress will
eventually decide upon one of the follow.
! ing propositions:
First-A redistribution of twenty-five
| million dollars.
Second-An increase of national bank
circulation TO four hundred millions.
Third-Free banking.
Fourth-Do nothing at all.
The contractionists favor the first OF
fourth propositions, while their opponents
are favorable TO the second or third
scheme.-LOutsUjUe Commercial March IL.

WE noticed few days ago the speech of
Ben. Hill, Of Georgia, in which he tried
to show that JEFF Davis opposed the re-
moval of Gen. Joe Johnston from the com.
msnd Of the Southern army in Georgia
in 1864. A correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle contributes bit OF history on
this point which is rather damaging to
Mr.. HIPS version Of JEFF Davis affection
for Johnston. Noticing Hills statement,
the writer says:
All who remember the famous speech of
Mr.. Davis, in the Second Baptist church
at Macon, delivered just after the dismiss
sal OF Gen. Johnston, can not reconcile
the statement with the rules of logicD
which the late Emperor says must be ap.
piled by the historians seeking for truth
Mr.. Hill was present himself and followed
Mr.. Paws in an address to the large audi
ence assembled. He has not forgotten that
Mr.. Davis not only spoke in a vein of sar-
casm about the disgraced General, but was
even bitter,
" He constantly complained, " said Mr..
D., - that the odds of the enemy opposed
TO him were too great too risk a general
| battle. But the disproportion was equally
as great, If not greater, in Virginia as in
Georgia. After deprecating the Fabian
strategy Of the General in falling back
from the mountains of Northern Georgia
and surrendering all its natural defenses,
he said: =" have frequently been asked
| If pontoons had not been forwarded tc
allow his army 20 cross over to Cuba. u
And again: Whether it resulted in
victory or defeat, determined to put q
General at the head of that army who
would AT least strike one manly blow in
| defense Of his country"
