The strikers discovered what

SCORE ANOTHER FOR BERGH.
Henry Bergh, the friend OF
the animals, has achieved an
other triumph. Heretofore he
has only been able TO convict
the drivers OF stages and cars
who have over worked horses;
but last week he got the iron
claw of the law on a proprie
tor and brought him up with a
round turn. This is as it should
be, Tor the propnetors compel
the drivers to overload the
stages. Now let him get after
the street car companies. 1t
is nothing uncommon to see a
pair of horses gong up steep
grade with heavy car loaded
with so or 80 passengers-lhe
poor beasts slrainlng every
nerve and a brutal driver lash
ing them as though his heavy
whip could add to their mus
cular force. Bergh bas only
commenced his work in this
city. But 1t does do one good
to see a 1.-THE, active man dart
out of a crowd and jerk a bru-
tai cartman, who is beating
his horses, off his cart and
march him before a magistrate.
1t is a sight calculated TO re-

TO THE MEMORY OF TOMMIE TAN.
DY WHITEFIELD.


Twas hard to see thee die 50 young and
full of hope;
Twas far beyond all power of human
tongue to tell
The grief we felt when first, mid burning
tears, we know,
Beyond all doubt, that death had claimed
thee for his own.
Thy own sweet child, so young, so mother
less and lone,
Will often mid her tears inquire, Say
papa, where
In all this wide wide world is my sweet
mama gomez"
With b!eeding heart and brimful eye he
lifts his head,
And pointing to the souls bright home re-
. plies, ''to heaven"
"But, papa, she's been gone loRg' How
far is il 4?
And when viii thatsweet angel face return
again
To cheer your little Jessie's heart with
smiles of love?''
And now the good man turn away and
sobs aloud,
The answer weighs so heavily upon his
heart.
Then, turning. takes her to his bleeding
heart and says,
'Sweet child, your mama never can return
again."
But now a sunbeam plays upon his
troubled brow,
AS if the darkest night to brightest day had
turned.
His face with smiles aglow. his tears now
wiped away,
He says. any precious child, It's true that
mama's gone,
And while she cannot come again 10 us
and share
The many hardships of this life so full of
woe,
Nor bear again the pains that took her life
away,
IT'S sweet TO think that we, my child, can
go TO her.

Church and State.

Archbishop Manning afirms in his
latter that the civil allegiance of no
man is unlimited, and that this is as
serted in the Vatican DEGREES. But
who is to be the judge of this limita-
ton? Who is to be thearbitrator be-
tween natural law and spiritual law
when they come into conflict? Arch
bishop Manning declares that the Pope
is to be the judge. The civil allegi-
ance of all nations, he claims, is pri-
marily due to the Pope; the Pope is
the supreme arbitrator between ma
tons, says Archbishop Manning
There is but one safe road in this con-
fict. The Church has no right to in
terfere with the State in civil matters.
The State has no right to interfere with
the Church in spiritual matters, aud
cannot be an arbitrator therein. Does
our correspondent believe this? Do
Roman Catholics believe this? If
they do, then there can be no contro-
versey between them and Protestants
on this highly important mlJter-Chi-
cage Tribune.

IOrbett Money,

The new issue" of the Bank ot
Tennessee is strong in the market. al.
though it is encountered with two OF
three conditions which must he looked
after.
If the Supreme Court decide against
the legality of the paper, it is dead be.
yond the power of resurrection.
Should the Sapreme Court decide il
favor of its legality, then the holder j;
met by the joint resolution of the Leg,
islature. passed January Is, 1871
which is as follows: Resolved, Thai
should the Supreme Court of the State
be Of opinion that the State is bound
to receive said notes, il shall be the
duty of the Attorney General to carry
said eases by appeal to the United
States Court
This resolution is backed by the pow
erful body known as "bondholders, -
who will experience severe check in
their bonds if the state is held liable.
Also by the holders of the "old issue, -
by the depositors OF the bank, the
school fund, and by the bank itself
There is yet another drawback, and
that is, the Legislature may fail to levy
a tax to meet the accumulated burtheu.
What next? Still the notes are quoted

What Retards Our Progress.

In response to Col. Killebrew's let
ter on immigration. addressed through
the Union and American to Col. c.
W. Charlton, the latter publishes an
article of column and half in the
Grange Outlook of this week. He is
very hopeful of the newly elected
Legislature, regarding them as "a
strong body of armed men, active, en-
terprising and intelligent, who appre-
ciate our condition and will do all they
can. consistent with the honor Of Ten
nessee, to advance her interests, y
After adverting to the barrenness of
results that have attended all efforts
heretofore to attract immigrants, he
cites, among the things needed, more
equitable standard in the prices of our
lands. Immigrants expect to buy
cheap-if they cannot do so in Ten
nessee, they will seek elsewhere. Of
Tennesseans who leave us, none re-
turn except the weaker ones; the
strong fight it out in the West or
Southwest. All over-coloring and de
ception of new corners works tenfold
mischief making them active adver-
tlsers against our State and people.
In some cases real estate agents have
been allowed to make all they could
over and above the actual price of
farms, thus encouraging them to fleece
strangers. This policy is ruinous, and,
in the estimate of Mr.. Charlton, will
damn any country on the face of the
earth. He thinks an accurate list of
all the lands for sale III the State
should be made out, fully and faith
fully described. properly located and
fairly priced" Among the imperfec-
tons Of Tennessee that deter inlmi-
grafton, he specifies defective titles,
an incomplete school system, poor
country roads, and the overplus of
worthless dogs which render sheep
raising impracticable. = Nashville
