The circumstances of the issuing of
the post-bellum bonds may also fairly
be considered by the bondholders. Un-
deniably, considerable part of the
aggregate was issued in deliberate
fraud; not a few of the holders are not
innocent ones, at least in the moral
sense; some bought their bonds at a
figure which was or should have been
a warning; aud many cannot reasona-
bly, deny, at the best, the speculative
character of the transaction. Notori-
ously, the States did not receive fair
value for the bonds; they were help
lessly in the hands of unscrupulous
persons, who seized the opportunity as
the one which comes only once In a
century, and sold mortgage on the fu-
ture of these communities for whatev-
er it would bring. When an individ-
ual harms his credit by bad manage
ment, or by putting out too much pa
per, the excessive interest he pays is
his own fault. When a State or mu-
nicipality sells It's bonds at a hard
price, the fault is its own, and if the
municipality is new one, it can gene
rally afford to bear the burden; but
this is not the case of the South under
the carret-bag debt. Bond holders
should consider all the circumstances,
and should be willing to give, fair
hearing to the suggestion-that they will
DO we'll and prudently if they gauge
their adjustment according to what
thew invested. Speaking plainly, it
thew made speculative transaction at
Speculative figures, and are no wiser
now than to insist upon the letter OF
the bond, under all the circumstances,
thew have no moral right to stand
counter to universal interests by thus
insisting.-N. Y, Faancler, Oct a.

Should the weather continue favora-
BILE, a very large proportion of the
wheat crop will be ready for market by
the close of the present weak. From
| one end of the State to the other the
farmers are using their utmost exer-
tions to finish threshing before further
rain can interfere with their opera
tons. 1t is not simply question of
bread: the surplus will bring into our
State sufficient surplus to meet at least
ordinary wants until the corn, cotton
and tobacco crops can be sold.
Meantime, the breadstuffs market
has taken turn very advantageous for
producers. if they but will seize the
opportunity and hurry forward their
wheat while remunerative prices are
obtainable. In Sunday issue we gave
some points concerning the excite
ment in Chicago and New York, and
our telegraphic advices of this morn
ing from those and all other leading
markets, announce that still higher
prices have been reached. Let Ten
nessee farmers wisely take the bird
in hand" Now is their time to sell,
for there may be danger ahead. AL
ready vague hints are float of prep
arations being made in Chicago for
another corner in wheat. If this be
so, it is for the farmers themselves to
apply remedy by quick delivery East,
and so Illustrate what is nothing less
than conspiracy to defraud them of
| a fair market for their crops.
The demand that has sprung up at
such an opportune time seems based
upon speculation abroad; but, as a
general thing, foreign buyers of our
grain know what they are about. The
whole wheat growing area of the world
has been placed under such system
of inspection and report that the pros
pect from day to day can be judged
with remarkable accuracy and. there
fore, while it is possible that European
speculation may exceed the warrant of
facts, yet there is always reason to sus-
pect, when foreigners are buying as
they have for the last few days, that
they have some good reason therefor.
1t is well known that England is suffer-
ing from heavy rains upon the ripe and
ripening crops, and that the disastrous
French floods are also an unfaVOrable
element in the Continental market,
while the most recent advices from
Hungary and the south of Europe are
of an altogether unsatis factory nature.
With all these facts before us, we
repeat the suggestion that our farmers
will consult their own interest best by
selling while the situation is SO much
in their favor. Should they do this,
Tennessee will be hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars better off before prices
fall back-of which there does not
seem to be an early probability---to
the old quotations. - Union and Amer

THE Union and American. of the
10Th inst, gives the following descrip-
ton of the new steamer T. 7. Hill
mag;
The "T. T. Hillman," the new
steamer built at Paducah, KY, for
Joseph and Doc Ambrose of this city,
made her appearance here at half-past
one o'clock yesterday afternoon, with
"Old Joe" on the hurricane roof. She
left Paducah at 8 o'clock last Saturday
morning.
Doc Ambrose and a number of his
friends got in yawEtesterday, with a
small cannon, and went down the river
some seven miles to meet her. After
getting aboard they kept up a lively
canponade till reaching town. Her
trip proved entirely satisfactory, and
the Captain and Docar delighted with
her.
On the front of the boat is the figure
of q little darkey, representing the
Arkansas Traveller. Capt. Ambr ose
saws the boat would never have been
given its present name if it hadn t
nroyed such satisfactory craft Mr..
Henry Snyder, book-keeper at Hill
mans, will personally superintend,
this morning, the fitting up of the cab
in. which will be done in handsome
style at Mr.. Hillman's expense. A
few finishing touches are to be given
the boat to-day and she will be ready
for the trade.
Her builder, Capt. Cunningham, is
one of the oldest and best shipwrights
in the country, The Hillman has the
machinery of the Burksyille, and the
rebuilding of hull, cabin, etc., cost
little over $1,000. She is IN every re-
spect frst-class boat and will receive
a large share Of patronage.

The Rural Sun, Nashville, says:
From all points come the tidings
that the wheat market has an upward
tendency. The demand for the for
eign market has had the effect Of
forcing spectators in Chicago and
elsewhere to advance their bids away
above what a few days since they
turned up their noses at; and here IL
our own city sale was made Monday
at 81 % for abroad.
In answer to many friends and anx.
ious inqulrers, We would say that up
to this time we have seen nothing tC
change our estimate of the situation
as to the probabilities of an advance
on the opening price of the season
but on the contrary, everything goe:
to confirm our conclusions upon thai
point. Each must judge from the
facts as they transpire for himself.

GEN. SHERMAN, in trying to give
himself prominence, is in a fair way
to win a veryunenviable notoriety. In
addition to the harsh but just criticisms
he has evoked from the press of his
own section, the London Saturday Re-
view says, "he was one of those north
ern commanders who violated, most
conspicuously. the laws of civilized
war, apparently from no other motive
than to crafty a powerful faction with
which he had noreal sympathy." The
truth embodied 10 this criticism makes
it the severest blow yet given him as a
man and a soldier-to say nothing of
the source whence it comes.

There Is, substantially, says the New
York Herald, no Republican party in
majority of the States. The brains,
the influence, the political weight, all
that goes to make up live party, are
solidlyarrayed against the Republicans.
In Arkansas and Alabama they are
disorganized adds the writer; in Lou
isiana they are ready to disappear
whenever Gen. Grant takes his mailed
hand off the the State. In Mississippi
the only Republicans who could make
the party respectable are ostracised at
Washington and have feud with the
Governor, Nowhere in the South are
the actual Federal Office holders men
of influence in the communities in
which they live, and it is hopeless to
expect of them to get respecta bic pO-
litical following. This is a blunder
which may lose the Republican party
the next election. Even if the Su-
preme Court does not in the fall de-
clare the enforcement acts uncOnstitu-
tional, the country will not tolerate a
repetition of such election outrages as
have been practiced aud exposed in
Louisiana and Alabama. 1t is too late
for Deputy United States Marshal to
shoot a hole through his hat and the n
cry out "Ku-Klux and summon
Federal troops.

THE Comptroller could have bor-

A BIG SNAKE.

EDITORS CHRONICLE About three
weeks since, my house was visited by
very large snake, which made its way
into the yard in front of the house,
without being discovered till within
fifteen feet of the passage door, where
l had laid down to rest until dinner
was ready. My wife came out and
took a seat, when discovering the snake
approaching, she gave the alarm. /
got up and taking a hasty glance at
him, told her it was huge RATHER, and
went for my gun. When | came out
he had stopped at full length with his
head elevated about ten inches. l then
discovered it was no RATHER. My gun
missed fire, and l tried Smith & Wes-
son pistol, six barrels missing fire and
the other missed the snake. He turned
to leave and 1 tried a rock weighing
about five pounds, with which / hit
him, breaking his neck. Then, for the
first time, he showed fight He tried
to hoop himself several times, but
could not hold his head up. 1t was a
Horn Snake, and measured seventy
one and half inches in length and IL
in circumference. Mr.. Jas. X. Raimey
measured him with an English rule.
He also cut open the horn on the
snakes tail, which was more like the
spur of chicken cock than anything
else. A good many inquiries have
been made about the Horn Snake
These are the facts.
