One of th,, ru,ts, applicable to every con-

that he claims sut' persons seat. This prn-

l protest, therefore, that the period has
passed within which this notice should have

my time is fully occupied with the lab0rs and

The Brain.

For some years past psychologists have
known that certain parts OF the brain have
functions-that they govern or effect certain
parts of body, and no other. This knowl-
edge was arrived ut by Investigations, chem
ical or electrical, of the Ii, ing brain, or by
observation of the brain in state ofdisease.
There was some truth in phrenol0gy, after
all; only, modern research has shown thet
phrenologists were wrong in their mapping
out the brain. Foremost among the newly
discovered facts is that the left side of the
body is governed by the right side of the brain,
and vice versa; and this discovery was made
by observing that palsy of either side of the
body il accompanied by disease of the oppo-
site side of the brain. One part of the brain
governs motion, another sensation, another
the operations of the intellect. The function
of the cerebellum has long been an obscure
is now found to be the great center for the
movements of the muscles of the eyeball. In
the disease described as asphasia the person
affected loses the power of expressing his
thoughts in words, either spoken or written.
He remains intelligent, and can comprehend
what is going on, has no paralysis of the
organs of speech, but is utterly at loss to
find words, and in some cases to tell his name.
In such cases, as now ascertained, there Is al
ways palsy of the front part of the left side
of the brain. An exposition of these remark
able facts was given at the meeting by Prof.
who stated that many of the dis
coveries had been made by Prof. Ferrier, of
Kings College. He having examined the ex-
periments of foreign Psychologists, has cen
frmed and extended them by an improved
mode of investigation, and now his researches
open . field Of inquiry 30 important that
therefrom We may expect new impulse for
the science Of physiology. - C2ansbs1J Jrur'l

Corwin's hunior and sarcasm were of too
delicate and subtle nature to permit of their
transfer to paper with much effect. His wit
was spontaneous and urprcmeditated, but
wonderfully telling. When the abolition ex-
element was at its height, he was invited to
address public meeting at Covington, oppo-
site Cincinnati. 1t was apprehended that the
ultra slavery men might interrupt him, so he
determined to propitiate them by an anec-

THE SITUATION IN ARKANSAS.
Bakers Proposition for Settlement Re
jected.

LITTLE Rock, April 25.-There has
been little change in the situation to-day
The truce between both parties was nut an
end to to-day. Yesterday Baxter, through
his representatives, made propositions TO
Brooks to leave the final determination
of the question between them to a compe-
tent tribunal, and in the meantime that
both, forces should be retired, except body
guard for each. These proposals Mr.
Brooks last night refused to accede to,
whereupon all negotiations were ended
and matters remain now where they did
one week ago, except that Governor Bax-
ter has convened the Legislature, the
meeting of which body Brooks is opposed
to. General L. J. Churchill was to-day as
signed to the command of the middle d.
vision of Gov. BaXteris forces and Briga-
der General Ira Mel. Barton promoted
to a Major General and assigned to the
command of the eastern division
Brigadier General w. ID. Bolocker was as
signed to the immediate command of the
forces on duty in Little Rock. Neither
party has dismissed any forces during the
past "A hours. The Federal troops are sta
toned at the Metropolitan Hotel, at the

SwEETwATER, TENN,
April 25th, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In a communi
cation to the Press and Messenger tissue of
April 15th) from this place, relative to the
railroad from this place to Tellico, the
correspondent M says: (which road
is now soon to be built, and to the aid
of which Monroe county has voted $780,
0O0," thereby grossly incorporating the
facts. Whether wilfully or ignorantly,
L do not presume to say, but il a resident
of the county, certainly the former, as
Monroe county has not voted a single dol
lar, the vote of the people having never
been taken, or even an election ordered.
However, we do not propose, without an
effort, to allow this golden opportunity to
pass for the development of our great min
eral resources. On the contrary, we have
done all that could be done, which is about
as follows: AT a meeting of the citizens
held at Madisonville, April 10th, a Central
Executive Committee was appointed.
This committee at their first meet
ing appointed subcommittee in
each civil district to ascertai n
the sense of the people in their several
districts, in regard to the donation of $780,
600 (the amount the Company. require
Monroe county to furnish in the construc-
ton of the road), and report to the Central
Committee, which will then determine
whether or not application will be made
to the County Court for a donation. The
interest in the enterprise is not abating a
particle, as NJ. asserts-as a number of our
most influential men are working, with a
will, to induce the county to make this
donation; and provided they refuse to give
the full amount, to supply the deficiency
by private subscription.
But L have already trespassed too much
upon your valuable time and space which
please pardon. My object in writing this
was simply to give your readers the facts
in the case, and correct the erroneous inn
preston the article before alluded to has
created.
Hoping that NJ. will soon have the pleas
ure of stating land that correctly thai
Monroe has voted the 100000, am, re
specially, yours, &C., Y.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

We publish elsewhere in the CHRONICLE
a full account of the terrible disasters that
have overtaken the people of the lower
Mississippi Valley, The widespread ruiz
that there exists and the absolute destitu-
ton among fully one hundred thousand
souls is appalling.
The people of the large cities of the
country, always quick to respond to the
call of the suffering, have already sent lib
orally. Boston, always first to heed the
cry of distress, has bound the South
to her in new ties by her generous
contributions to the starving of Lou
isiana. While the larger cities of the East
and West and South are doing what they
can, the question suggests itself: What
can we do? The number to be relieved is
so great and the suffering so widespread
that all that can be sent will be needed and
gratefully received. Food is wanted more
than any thing else, and every city AMI
town in East Tennessee ought to do some
thing. Knoxville should take the lead
and we hope our Board Of Trade or Mayor
will take such action as the emergency
seems to require.

A STUBBORN, sELF-wILLED MAN.

1t has been generally understood for sew
eral years that President Grant has will
and a way of his own, 1t is true that DEM
ocratic papers have attempted to make it
appear that he is controlled by others.
Sometimes they represent that he is wholly
subservient to the wishes of Senator Cam
eron. Again, they charge that Senator
Conkling shapes for him his course on
all important questions. Then again it is
given out that he is in the hands of Sena-
tors Morton and Logan, and hatthey die
tate the policy of his administration.
Tom Murphy, ofNew York, has been men
toned as his leading adviser. Latterly, it
has been announced that the President has
become "Butlerized" and that the hero of
New Orleans controls Federal patronage
and dispenses fat offices to his special IA
vorites. Recently a delegation of New
York capitalists, chief among whom was
ETY., waited upon him at the White House.
Their object was to convince the Presi-
dent that the salvation of the country de-
pended upon his refusal to approve the
Senate currency bill. He heard them pa
tiently but did not communicate, whether
he would or would not veto the bill. They
went away greatly displeased, that any
man, even if he were President of the
United States, should refuse to unbosom
himself to them. They were evidently of
the opinion he would sign the bill. DEM
ocratic journals no doubt had columns
of double-leaded editorials ready in type,
setting forth how Grant had been bribed
by the inhationists and spectators to app
prove the currency BILL Already we
could begin to hear faint chuckle over
fresh evidence that was to be given in
proof of the Presidents being Butler
| lied"
But 20 and behold contrary to all ex-
pectatiops, and in vindication of his char
acter as the stubbornest man in Ameri-
ca - save one, and that one Senator Brown
low, he has gone and vetoed the bill,
without so much as limiting beforehand
what he would do. These double-leaded
editorials have now to be distributed, and
so much composition is lost to the proprie-
tors of the newspapers, all growing out Of
the fact that Grant is a stubborn, self
willed man.
The next story we expect to see in cir
culation is, that Cyrus w. Field and hi:
rich New York friends have corrupted the
President, by bribing him to veto the
Senate currency bill.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1874-04-29
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.


The veto of the Senate currency bill by
the President, leaves the finance question
considerably mixed. The Maynard, bill
which is now before the Senate, contains
free banking clause, which, it is thought,
will afford the basis for compromise be-
tween the two extremes. Negotiations are
now maturing between the friends and
opponents of the Senate currency bill,
which will probably result in an agree
ment for free banking with redemption
clause, which will provide for the with
drawal of $4,000 in legal tender notes for
every 100000 issued by the free
banks. 1t is too soon yet to say
that even this will be agreed upon.
There are three parties to consult in this
matter The inflationists, the contraction
lists, and the President, who seems to be
disposed to say word on the subject at the
proper time. The few days delay inter-
vening before discussion on the veto will
open, has been Fortunate as it has given
Senators and Representatives an oppor-
tunity for reflection. Some of them, from
reports, were in poor mood to discuss
such an important question. The session
will be prolonged by the unexpected
changes in the situation, as it will take
several weeks TO perfect bill satisfactory
to all parties.

A COVETED POSITION.

Ne think the President would make q
most suitable and fortunate appointment
should he tender to Hon. Horace Maynard
the vacancy in the Court of Claims, caused
by the death of Judge Milligan. 1t is a life
position, one of great honor, and one for
which Mr.. Maynard is eminently quail
fed. Though he will not make any effort
to secure the position, we are satisfied that
if it were rendered him it would be accept
ed. The following special to the New York
Post, of the 25th, would seem to indicate
that the Office is desired by some men of
high qualifications and great influence.
The Post says
There are large number of applicants
for the vacant judgeship of the Court OF
Claims, among them several members of
Congress.
Representative Maynard has the strong
est support, no less than one hundred and
fifty members of the House having recon-
mended his Appointment. Representatives
ScofieId, of Pennsylvania; Poland oil
Vermont; William Lawrence, of Ohio
eX-Attorney General Alderman Judge
Adds, of the Southern Claims Commission
and Assistant Attorney General Hill, have
had their names presented to the President
for the petition. ...lr ...8

his friends that he does not intend 70 &C

Cabinet, the statement 10 made in very
high quarters late this afternoon that the
President viii nominate him for the va
cant judgeshiP. A member who called
upon the President to-day was informed
that the appointment was settled. and the
impression was Aeft upon the mind of the
member that the person would be either
Richardson or Representative Maynard.

THE Maryville Republican devotes near
ly column of its local page, in reply to
what has been said in the CHRONICLE
about the owners of that journal disposing
of it to parties who "exhibit an unwil-
lingness" to publish articles in defense of
the rights of colored people, but lodges the
main point lentirely. The writer of the
article we alluded to is colored man and
charged that Republican papers had Eek
hibited an unwillingness to publish his
review OF Senator Brownlow's second let
ter. What the colored people want to
know is, why the Scots disposed of their
columns in such a way as to close them
against a defense of their own race. An
explanation on this point is what is
wanted.
