CaRIIRI vs.. Labor.


A letter from Fall river, where 1900
mill operatives voted themselves thirty days
vacation, rather than submit to 10 per cent
reduction in wages, states that the action of
the grocery and provision dealers in refus-
ing to credit will be speedily felt, for
available funds Of most employees must be
nearly exhausted; that while it is not the
policy Of the municipal government 10 al
low actual starvation, charity will be dis
pensed very sparingly, and the feeling
Of the community is decidedly against the
operatives, that they will resist all measures
for relief not absolutely called for in the
light Of humanity. Meanwhile, the mill
owners say they are determined to main
tain their position and settle forever the
principle that their business is not TO be at
the mercy Of the help; that they have been
governed by the operatives too long.

The July Interest.

The failure of the State to meet
the July interest is the topic
of discussion in our State ex-
changes. Governor Porter's let
ter 10 General Marcus j. Wright
explains the reason of the default.
1t is as follows:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, July u.
SIR-In answer to your inqul-
ry | have to state that an effort
was ma lie in good faith to borrow
money to meet the July interest
Oh the State|debt. The people OF
the State expected that the in.
terest would be paid if a loan
could be negotiated on terms that
were at all liberal. The necesSa.
ry amount of money was offered
to the Comptroller at seven and a
quarter per cent. per annum, but
in making loan of 100000 be
was required to deposit as collat-
eral security the sum of $850,000
in the tonds of the State. He
could not comply with this re-
quirement for the reason that he
was not provided with the securi-
ties demanded. Il is true, as you
suggest, that the power to nego.
tiate loan has been granted to
the Comptroller, but he can not
exercise 1t SO long as banks and
bankers refuse to accept his I'M
dertaklng without a pIed5 Of 9TH
er security.
There was some hesitation in
making the loan on the part Of
bankers on other grounds, but 1t
could have been negotiated if the
Comptroller had been provided
with the necessary colIaterals-
In my own opinion the under ak
ing OF the Comptroller backed as
he is by the entire revenues of
the State, would be ample securi-
ty for any amount borrowed, I'M
der authority of the Financial
Board, but a different opinion con-
troiled the action of the bankers
OF New York.
In answer to the other inquiry,
/ have this to say: | DO not be-
lieve that the present General AS
sembly would provide means to
pay the interest on the State debt,
or enlarge the power of the Comp
troller OF the Treasury to borrow
money, and | can not therefore see
any good result from an extra
session of the Legislature.

The Wheat Market.

From all points come the Ii
dings that the wheat market has
taken an upward tendency. =
The demand for the foreign
market has had the effect Of
forcing spectators in Chicago
and elsewhere to advance their
bids away above what a few
days ago they turned up their
noses at; and here in our own
city a heavy sale was made
Monday at $1.25 for abroad.
In answer to many friends
and anxious enquirers, we would
say. that up to the present time
we have seen nothing to change
our estimate Of the situation as
to the probabilities of an adj
vance on the opening price of
the season; but on the contrary
every thing goes to confirm our
conclusions upon that point. =
Each must judge from the facts
as they transpire and judge for
himself or herseIf.-Rnal San.

Suggestive to Wheat
Growers.

The jackson San considers,
after q careful survey Of the
wheat outlook and approximate
estimate Of the yield, that it
would he advisable on the part
of the farmers Of Tennessee to
sell their wheat early, and not
hold for bigger quotations. 1t
bases it's conclusions upon the
following reasoning:
Almost every farmer will have
wheat to spare, and if the mar
ket holds at Il fair price, say
fiom one dollar per bushel up
to figures sufficiently close to
the St. Louis market to preclude
the idea Of unfair speculation,
why, it will be clearly to the
farmers interest to sell. I'm
doubtedly the sale of wheat will
bring great relief to the coun-
try. And it should be well
considered that money, just
now will be worth % per cent.
more to the farming interest,
and every other, than it will in
the fall. Running in debt to
make a crop is hurtful policy,
and the sooner the farmer can get
rid of such obligations the bet
ter for him. Fortunately for this
country, left so poor and depend
ent by the dreuth of last year,
we have in an abundant harvest
the means Of partial relief, at a
time most vital in the progress
Of the general crops. We re-
peat that as long as our mar
ket pays a remunerative price,
the better policy will be to sell
and ENJOY the money now so
very much needed, and at the
same time avoid the risk Of dam
age by holding. And yet we
are mistaken in the opinion
that the tendency of the wheat
market will be upward, and
that it will reach in St. Louis
by fall 81 so per bushel.
Hence we urge our people to
demand the market price, and
if that cannot be had at home,
send the wheat to where it can
be had, or hold. It is to the in
terest Of the merchant that the
farmer get a good price for his
wheat, and it is clearly to the
interest of the farmer to sell
whenever a good remunerative
price is offered.

% The brother in-law of
The administration, as the collec t.
or of the port of New Orleans is
called, recently delivered to a re-
porter his opinion of the third
term letter:
''PreSAlent Grand meant Just

precisely his sentiments. He has
no desire to be a candidate again.

Lees Estimate of Sherman's
Treatment of the South.
Charleston News and Courier.
What Sherman practiSed in
his march throughout Georgia
and South Carolina in 1S64-'65
he preached as early as 1868. In
a letter to Gen. Halleck, dated
Sept. II, 1868, he says that eve
(the army will, if need be, take
every life, every acre ofland, ev-
cry particle af property, every
thing that to US seems proper
and that he would keep up war,
pure and simple, and make the
Southern people $50 sick Of war
that generations would pass away
before they would again appeal
to it." This is the same vein as
the declaration, a year later, that
he would snake Georgia howl"
and that the Fifteenth Corps does
its work well. A simple perusal
eff the letters of Sherman, publish
ed by himself, will show that such
crimes as the burning of Columbia
were, in his view, legitimate and
proper acts of war. But against
this we can set the opinion Of a
better soldier and a better man
than Sherman, whose judgment
was as cool and dispasSiona;e in
things which came home to Lin
and his people as in things with
which he and his had no personal
concern. When Gen. Lee visited
this State, not long before bis
death, gentleman who knew
him well asked his opinion Of
Sherman's conduct. This, it
must be remembered, was several
years after the war, when there
were the same means that there
are now of forming q true jude-
ment. What passed is gwen as
follows:
D. H.-"Gen. Lee, | desire to
ask a question, which you will
please not reply to if there is any
improperly in it.

D. H-'Was Gen. Sherman, in

with his eyes brightened, and said:
"No, SIR! no, sir! 1t aUas the act
Of q savage. lie WAS not jus:i-
fed under the usageS of war"
This we have from the lips of
the gentleman to whom Gen. Lee
said these words They are wor-

Gen. Lee used in speaking Of Sher-
man will be remembered to Sher-
mans shame when every other

The Religion Of Paying
Debts,

A religious exchange has the
following strong remarks on
this subject. They drive the
nail to the head and clinch it.:
"Men may sophisticate as
they please. They can never
make it right, and all the bank
rupt laws in the universe can
not make it right for them not
to pay their debts. There is a
sin in the neglect as clear deserv-
ing church discipline as in steal
ing or false swearing. He who
violates his promise to pay, OF
withholds the payment Of a debt
when it is in his power to meet
his engagement, ought to be
made to feel that in the sight
of all honest men he is a swind-
Ter. Religion may be a very
comfortable cloak under which
to hide; but if religion docs
not make man deal justly it
is not worth having"

LEEsBURG, Va, July 20, 1875.
Me-. Editor: = Thinking that
you would be pleased 10 hear
from one of your coTespon-
dents from this "out OF the way
place." [ will now add my mite,
in hope that out of much chaos
you may find something worthy
Of your readers notice. At
present l am visiting in one of
the most retired and at the same
time, one Of the most healthy
spots in the state of Virginia.
Leesburg is the county site of
Loudoun, and is a beautiful lit
tie village, with population Of
1000 inhabitants, an Industrious
and sober-minded people. Here
you will find Z churches, schools,
academies and shops and
stores of every description. =
This place is connected by rail
with Washington city, a dis
lance Of 40 miles. Lcesburg is
% miles from the Potomac riv-
er, and II miles from Point of
Rocks, the place taking its name
from large rock, which projec-
ted out over the r. r. Former
ly, there was a wall built under
it, to prevent it from falling. =
During the war this rock was
thrown down by the Confedcr-
ates to obstruct the travel Of
the railroad and canal. Balls
Bluff,anOther confederate point,
lies p miles from here. Col. Ba-
ker of federal rtnown, and Col.
Burt Of the confederate forces,
lost their lives here. You will
remember that the federals were
defeated, and $50 men were ia
ken prisoners by 20 confcder-
ates. Harper's Ferry lies north
west % miles from this point, a
place distinguished for the cap
.ture Of John Brown, and many
important events which took
place during orr late war; and
here, latter the battle Of Antietam,
Gen. Miles (federaD forces
were captured. Bulls run is -
miles, and is the place where the
first battle Of the late war was
fought, and which resulted in
the complete routing Of the yam
kes army. There are many pla-
ces Of interest near here, but as
yet, | have not been able to Wis
lit them. The farmers since the
war have rcdoubled their efforts,
and the farms in this section are
looking well, although the wheat
crop is not so good a yield rs,
usual. Yet an abundance Of
corn and a heavy fruit crop viii
be realized. Grazing is carried
on to a considerable extent, and
in a few years this county will
have few landmarks left, to tell
them Of the late struggle be-
tween the North and South.

A large and elegant tea
shop was opened in St. Louis
about a month ago. The es-
Enlistment was so handsome
and prices so low that the sales
were enormous from the start.
\ ct one morning the place was
closed, and later on the day the
tea merchants creditors took
possession. Examination show
ed that the chests remaining
contained only sawdust. The
merchant had obtained ten thou
sand dollars worth of tea on
credit for a month, had sold the
whole of it at less than its actual
value, and had gone away with
the money.
