IT Is WORKING The position of large por-
tiOn of the Republi can party in opposition to
"our excellent national currency" is the most
unnatural that can be imagined. They have re-
ally been forced into it by the pressure of the
President and his politicians, at the instigation
of the money ring, and are held to it only by the
pressure attendent upon the near APPROACH of i'm
portant elections. But the sober second thought
is coming When the strain and excitement of
the campaign are over, they will begin to think
for themselves once more and then there will be
such stampede back to the true doctrine as
will astonish the politicians. Already the more
independent are becoming restive, or are coming
out openly on the subject. As the beginning of
a great movement, the following comes from In

MOuey i'm the West.

The need of more money in the West is strik-
ingly exemplified by the announcement in the
Parsons (Kas.l San that one of its advertisers
has $1,000 to loan on improved farms at low
rates of interest.-Nec York Uorld
Paragraphs like the above are common in the
Eastern bullion papers, and are fippantly used
to bolster the assertion that there is scarcity
of money in the West, and that none but fools or
demagogues are demanding that o stop be put to
the ruinous contraction of the currency
Does the UOrld understand what ''a low rate
of interest" in Kansas is What does it think
of fifteen to twenty per cent. year as a low
rate of interest And yet these are the figures
at which millions of dollars have been loaned in
Kansas and other Western States during the
past twelve months. This money has all been
loaned by Eastern capitalists through local
agents in the West. Every loan is secured by
farm property worth at least three times the
amount loaned the interest stipulated is twelve
per cent. year for the term of five years, and
the agent deducts for his pay from three to five
per cent year for the entire term. Tins on a
loan of one thousand dollars at fifteen per cent.

tennessee Geology.

Tavel, Eastman x Howell are just issu-
ing from press the first elementary Geology
of Tennessee ever written as a textbook
for the use of schools. In view Of a pro-
posed work Of the same kind by different
authors We expressed the opinion few
days ago, That they would supply a desid-
eralum of the first Importance.
The authors Of the work before
us are W. G. McAdoo, =. NJ, an alUmEus,
We believe, of East Tennessee University,
and II. c. White, Professor Of Chemistry
and Geology in Jhe [ University Of Georgia.
Their work contains a very flattering en-
dolsement from State Superintendent
FrOusdale, who had examined it before
publication. Its method is very simple,
and the treatment seems comprehensive
and iudicious. There are nine chapters
setting out a journey across the State, lis
physical features, the constitution and
structure of the rocks, description Of the
useful minerals and ores aud history of the
formations. GeOlOgically, Tennessee is
perhaps the most interesting State in the
Union. The school law wisely inoOTpoT-
ated its study, in this aspect, in the public
instruction, and it is well that competent
hands have undertaken to compile the text
book. The one before us seems admirably
suited TO its purpose, and it is handsomely
printed and bound.

THE LAND OF HORSE

A correspondents writes: "The moment
you enter the blue grass region you hear
nothing but horse talk. The whole sec
ton lives upon pedigrees. The stable boys
banter pedigree5 in a nomenclature Of their
own. The men utter pedigrees with vOlu-
bility like the flowing Of a never-ending
stream. Even the ladies of polite society
will chatter pedigreeS, and talk as fuently
or sire and dam as if they had received
their accomplishments in the precincts OF
the breeding portions Of the stock farms.
Everywhere it is horse, mare, FLY, fOal,
gelding. The stables are swarming with
them, the streets are alive with them, the
fields are dotted with them like the cattle
on thousand hills; and the visitor, even
though he came merely to see, has a Sc
cretiyeness and Obstinacy more profound
than the mysteries OF Sphinx if he does
not buy before be comes away some little
equine specimen for which he has no earthly
use. There is a certain FreemaSOnry OF
brOtherly love among the horse dealers Of
Kentucky. If one breeder has nothing in
the horse line 10 answer your demands, he
will furnish YOU with 4 saddle horse and
accompany you for miles around the neigh
bOrhOOd to inspect stock which he is sure
Will just SUIT your lahcy' LHc hOuscS 1Lo
thrown open 70 your entertainment. The
Tarest wine Of corn and the freshest Of mint,
aud the richest Of Attorney cream, and the
tenderest of spring chickens are offered,
with 4 princely generosity, TO feed the fame
of your horse fever, which must not be al
layed till you have LEFT your money behind
you on some Of the stock farms. This is
:he logic Of all the attentions aud pedi-
grees and horse enthusiasm, and it is won
derful how the interest is kept up year af-
ter year, and how the surplus funds Of our
wealthy hOrse-fanciers are poured, with in
creasing volume, into the ccfiers Of the
Blue Grass TegiOUs.'

HELD In NEW YORK.
An Alleged FOrger Awaits the Coming
Of q Nashville DefectiNe.

In 1874, John Kneubuhler, a soldier in
the United States army, stationed at Nash
Vile, had a draft on a bank in Switzerland
for Sl425 81 in gold, and drew that amount
from a firm in New York On the 18th of
last month he drew the same amount iTOm
a bank in this city on the strength Of the
draft. Charles Richheimer, of this city,
identified him at the bank and Leopold
WenZler endorsed for him. After drawing
the money, Kneubuhler left Nashville.
When the fraud was discovered, the
bank sued Wenzler aud got a judgment
against him. Wenzler then went TO De-
tectives Ryan, Watson and Fields, and in
formed them OF KneUbUhleI's little game.
The detectives procured some Of his photo
graphs and sent them to New \ ork and
ii. Louis with The necessary information.

a telegram from the Chief Of Police Of New
York city, stating that his man had been
arrested and would be held foT a Tequisi-

THE TOBACCO TRADE.

Growth OF the Nashville Leaf Market
Another Warehouse 10 be Opened
the Coming Season.
The Nashville market for leaf tobacco
was revived four years ago by the establish
maDt of a warehouse which sold, up to
Sept. ]. 1872, 946 hhds. of the weed. Since
the close Of that season there have been two
houses in operation. During the year end
inc Sent. /, 1875, the two houses sold :, COZ
hhds.-doubing the trade Of the first year.
During the year ending Sept. /, 1874, they
sold 5.451 hhds.-mOTe than double the
sales Of the second year. Another year
has about rolled around, which viii have
To be counted almost blank on account OF
the failure of the last crop.
The prospect for the growing crop, until
a short time ago, was heralded from all d.
reCtions as the finest ever seen IN the dis
trict tributary to Nashville. Then, in con-
sequence of excessive rains, reports came OF
..frenching,- which continued worse and
worse until, by the time the weather
changed, it became alarming in some 10
calities. We are led to hope, however, now
that we have had a week Of fair weather,
that the damage is not 50 serious as was
feared, and that the country will produce a
MAGNIFICENT yield Of this staple yet. With
average weather for the rest Of the
season it is believed that a good crop
will be made, in which case the Nashville
trade is bound 10 increase IN pretty much
the same ratio as heretofore. Such would
be the result if only the same factors con-
tinued the business. But We notice that
another house has. Just been established to
be called the planters through
the honest and energetic efforts Of which
We have no dOub. the trade will assume
still greater proportions. The new firm IS
"Cbase X Co." the member, whose name
aDDears. being Mr. Irvine 4. Chase, we'll
known as one of the staUncheSt members
q the cotton fraternity on the buying side.
In that business (Which he does not quit,
but 20 which he adds the tobacco
factOrage busineSS) be has achieved success
and established a faultless business charac-
ter. a gentleman OF Southern nativity
being from South Carolina, and Of genial
disposition, he has made host Of friends
during his residence here. We can sin
cerely and DO with pleasure commend Inn
to the confidence Of those with whom his
new business will bring him in contact.
He has secured the services Of Capt. j. l..
Williamson, of Kentucky, late Of Clarks-
vile. Tenn.,and Rich'd. AveTitt, ESD, late OF
Huntsville, both Of whom have been identi-
fed with the leaf tobacco trade foT many
wears, the former in The factOrage business
at GAINESVILLE, the latter for nearly score
Of years il the upper Cumberland trade at
Hartsyille. The high business character
and experience Of these gentlemen will
draw a liberal share Of the trade to the new
warehouse, as they viii certainly bring an
increase of receipts Of tobacco to the city:
