! 10 the Union ana AneElCa4
NASHVILLE, Feb. 23.-My attention has
been called to an article in your issue of
this morning, representing the action of
the State Grange as being opposed TO the
repeal of the Conventional Interest law.
The action Of that body in tabling a reso-
luton TO memoTialize the Legislature TO re-
peal that law, was simply determination
Of that body not to discuss a political ques-
ton in which a difference of opinion exists,
and not intended as an expression of an
opinion for or against q repeal Of the law.
Respectfully, JAS. NJ. HEAD.
By reverting to yesterdays issue,
our esteemed correspondent will per-
ceive that we represented the action of
the State Grange pretty much as he
does, our language being that ga petit
ton praying the Legislature to repeal
the present Conventional Interest law,
was tabled" The bulk Of the editorial
was an argument professedly our own,
in favor of free trade in money. Our
closing sentence disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the reason for the Oranges
action, our words being, whatever its
moving motive, the action of this rep
resentative body must arrest attention
and evoke thoughtful consideration.
DR.. Head will note how careful
we were to state nothing beyond the
bare facts. We must confess, howev-
er, that the moving motive for tabling
the petition, as explained IN the above,
did not occur to us. We haveneverr re-
garded the interest law as a political
question, but rather an economic one,
and In our view apurelypersonal oneto
be decided for himself by each individ-
ual. 1t is true that such questions are
sometimes unfortunately thrust into
the political arena, as the question of
sustaining the State credit has been,
and that of the rate of taxation, which
is also a purely economic ques-
ton. But the Conventional Interest
law was not made a political issue in
the election of either the Legislature
which enacted it or the one now in
session. We would as soon think of
treating the school law in the light of
a political question. But the State
Grange had evidently determined to
avoid "even the appearance Of evil,"
and we cannot but admire the stern
consistency with which it has thus al
hered to one of the great fundamental
principles of the Order.

COMPLEXION OFTHENExT HOUSE

COMPLEXION OF THENEXT HOUSE.
The new House Of Congress num-
bers los Democrats, 6 Independents
and 1OI Republicans. So far as heard
from, twenty-One seats will be contest
ed, distributed as follows: The seats of
fifteen Republicans are contested by
Democrats, and those Of five Demo-
Gratis by Republicans, while Maryland
presents a contest between two Demo-
Gratis. The Democratic majority is
amply large to do full justice to all con-
testants, and we expect that the era of
determining such questions on partisan
grounds, will pass away with Radical
ism. The disputed seats are pretty
evenly divided between North and
South, Alabama furnishing 3, Flor
ida, Georgia and South Caro-
lima 2 each, and Kentucky, Louis
lana and Virginia l each, while
Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania 2
each, and Maryland, Massachusetts,
and Minnesota l each. There are FIVE
negro members, two from South Caro-
lima and one each from Louisiana, Ala
bama and Florida. The seats Of the
last two are contested. Seventeen
members remain to be elected as fol-
lows: New Hampshire elects 3 IN
March, Connecticut in April, Cali
fornia in September and Mississippi
6 in November next. Besides this,
there are three vacancies to fill, caused
by death; one each in Georgia, Maine
and New York; two Of these were
Democrats and the other Republican.

Total. ..................S 500, So, $50
If then to this you add the value Of live
stock, the value Of their minerals, oils, and
the manufactures of wooden and cotton
goods, you will have grand total approx
mating three billions per annum.
1t is safe and reliable estimate of the
value Of the commerce which is carried per
annum on the waters of the Mississippi,
when it is stated TO be over $1,000, 000, 600;
and when We pause to contemplate the
magnitude Of the future of these States,
(tEat magnitude we can reasonably calcu-
late when we turn to the census tables of
1860 aid 1870, which show rapid increase
in population and wealth. the Importance
and necessity Of the improvement of this
great and national channel of commerce
cannot for one moment be denied. IL is
important and necessary to the cheap and
successful transportation of the products Of
these States and their Interchange in the
markets of the world. It is an important
check to the mOnOpolies in transportation
now controlling the commerce Of these
States. 1t is important as an aid in The
development Of the capacities Of this great
valley 10 the support Of the millions who
inhabit ''the uttermost parts of the earth"
The people Of Tennessee feel a deep in
terest in this proposed work, not only on
account of the considerations already re-
ferTed to, but from the fact that two of the
important tributaries of the Mississippi
River traverse the State of Tennessee and
the Mississippi itself limits its western
boundary. 4 large amount Of its trade is
done upon these waters, and with a free
outlet to the seas much larger amount
will be done.
1 trust, sir, before concluding, 1 may be
allowed to mention another consideration
which prompts me in my advocacy of this
measure. believe the hearty cO-opera-
ton Of Congress in the improvement Of
this river aud its tributaries will be legis-
latiOn healing and pacific in its political re-
suits. It will tend to bind together peO-
pie but recently embittered toward each
other. 1t will be accepted as a measure of
love as we'll as justice by people who feel
that the General Government does not re-
gard them with favor. It will bring into
closer relations the people Of the West and
South. 1t is a measure that at once gives
assurance to the people Of all sections that
it is the intention and purpose of the Gov
eminent to unite by kindness aud justice
this people into one Union.

MISSING ACRES.

OF the ninety-three counties in Ten
nessee, forty-four, or less than half,
show a surprising shrinkage in land
between the years 1873 and 1874, ag-
gregating ST, O96 acres Such, at least,
is the official report of the State Comp
troller, as made up from the returns of
the various counties. The lost land is
distributed as follows: IN East Tennes-
see thirteen counties have. lost 4S9, 45l
acres, the single county Of Morgan be-
ing 90, $50 minus; IN Middle Tennes-
see seventeen counties have allowed
267,288 acres to disappear, while four
teen counties IN the Western District
report 54,357 acres missing.
Now if these 8lI,O96 acres Of land
existed in 1873, in the counties alluded
to, what has become Of them, and
where are they now? If they were as
sessed and paid taxes IN 1873, why were
they not assessed and made to pay
taxes IN 1874? And why should they
not be hunted up and made to carry
their share Of the burden in 1875 and
1876? Would it not be worth while for
the Legislature to appoint a Committee
on Lost Lands to hunt up these shirk-
ing acres? The average value Of land
throughout the State in 1873, the last
year they appeared on the tax list,
was $7.S8 per acre. AT this price
these 81I,O96 acres represent S6,39l,-
1868 Of the decrease in taxables be-
tween the years 1873 and,1S74. This
is only one leak, but it explains over
one-third Of the total decrease. It is
generally agreed that the leak on per-
sonalty is much larger.

A NORTHERN ESTIMATE OF NAY
EARn


Last Saturdays debate in the House
was signalized by a remarkable speech
from John B. Storm, Democratic men,
Der from Pennsylvania. This gentle
man was elected and entered Congress
as a Protectionist, but the recent expe-
riences of his own protected" constIt-
uency have convinced him that the
system makes a few rich men richer
and the many poor men poorer. He
showed clearly how, by government
aid, the natural power Of money over
muscle was abnormally increased, 50
that, instead of being benefited by
tariff laws, the laboring masses were
injured. The proposed re-imposition
of the ten per cent horizontal tariff
he denounced as a trick to set new
England mills agoing at the expense
Of other sections, prophesying that, il
carried out, it would prove a fanacious
remedy even for the favored locality,
the whole system beng false.
Commenting on Mr.. Storms speech
and the proposed increase of tariff,
the Chicago Tribune, the leading Re.
publican organ of the Northwest, takes
occasion to say: ''The Congressmen
from the South and West, who act
with the monopolists Of the East in this
selfish scheme for plumber are well rep.
resented by such men as Maynard, Of
Tennessee. and Field, Of Detroit Both
are without constituencies. Maynard
is almost a lunatic on this question
and opposes the interests ard good Of
every man in his district and State
Field is the Congressional attorney Of
Wards vast estate IN Detroit, and rep
resents no other interest ID his'district
Both men 90 out of Congress alto
gether in a few days, and take advan-
tage Of the brief span Of their official
life to betray the interests Of the peO-
pie who sent them there. OF such are
the Congressional Representatives who
vote against the interests Of their
Western and Southern constituencies,
and play into the hands Of the subsi-
died classes
