NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-To-day's Times has
the following dispatch from special cor
respondent detailed to Investigate whisky
frauds in Chicago:
CHICAGO, Dec. 10, 1875.
To-day is the first time it has become
known with positivencss that there was a
gigantic whisky ring with its headquarters
in Chicago-similar in all material respects
to whisky rings of st. Louis, Milwaukee,
Evansville and probably New Orleans. 1t
has been impossible heretofore to make that
statement with any degree of ofcertainty. 0w-
ing to official complication calculated to
suppress developments, there has been moth
ing hut surface indication since the first
seizure.
The Grand. Jury found indictments
against only few Of the distillers and rec
tifers and gOugers. 1t went no deeper,
and there was nothing but the present dis
position OF every community to suspect all
persons that justified the association OF
higher official personages with the revenue
frauds. There has also been a persistent
effort on the part Of interested persons TO
spread the impression that the revenue
frauds in this city were merely the result
Of individual and Independent efforts, that
is that there was no combination outside
ofeach individual distiller, with his gauger,
and no central and systematic organization
for plunder extending to the higher reve-
nue. officials and implying an official guar.
antoe of protection against exposure and
punishment
This theory has been generally accepted
heretofore, and received confirmation in tho
character of the indictments returned.
1t is now reasonably certain that the the
ory is entirely false, and that the revenue
frauds have been worked out by the same
mea. and through the same machinery
and VITA the same systematic division OF
spoils rs in st. Louis. The facts seem tC
justify the assertion that. had it not been
for the recent change in the Office of United
States District Attorney in this city, this
phase Of the Chicago whisky frauds woulJ
never have been publicly developed

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2O.-Alter the
House of Representatives adjourned, imme-
diately upon the announcement of the COM
mittees, o-day, there was quite a general
interchange of opinion among the members
in regard to the selections. Those who had
been well provided for commended the
Speakers judgment, or said nothing but
the prevalent expression was one Of dissat-
isfaction. The Speakers friends account
for this by the fewness of the prizes and the
prependerating number of the competitors
for them. On the other hand there are
many among the Democratic members who
severely criticise his selections for a consid-
erable number Of the prominent positions
as unsuitable or as unfair to COngrossmen
of extended service who have been passed
over in the distribution of chairmanships
Of important committee places to make
room for new men without legislative ex-
pericnce.
OF the AZ Chairmanships, exclusive of the
Committee on the Rules of which the
Speaker is ex-oficio Chairman, 2i are Civ
en- to new Western members, 10 TO the
Southern, and 10 to the Middle and Eastern
States. OF the latter l3, six are Of third
rate importance, being committees on ex-
penditures in the various executive depart
n'chts, &c; and Of the Chairmanships Civ
en- to Western members four are Of the same
description. Four or five Of the Southern
Chsirmanships are also uHimportant. The
West therefore, holds the first place in the
pnmber Of Chairmanships Of first and Sec
ond-clRss committees. Out Of tho total AZ,
OHIO and Missouri have each 8 Chairman
ships; Illinois, 4; Kentucky, 4 (; Indiana, 2
and Tennessee 2, Virginia and Pennsylva-
mia nave 3 each, North Carolina has .
and ne other Ssate has more than one.
Tie composition of the Pacific Railroad
Com1Htee, tested by the recent vote
on Holman's anti-subsidy resolution, is as
follows: The Chairman, Lamar, and Messrs.
Throckmorton and O'Neill voted against
it. Messers Luttrell, of California, Lynde,
of Wisconsin, Thomas, of Maryland, Phil
lips, of Missouri, Garfield, Of Ohio, Kasson,
of Iowa, and Blair, of New Hampshire
voted for it, and Messers. Atkins, Of Ten
ncssee, Walker, of Virginia, and Platt Of
New York, were recorded as not voting.
The friends Of the Texas Pacific bill claim
that a majority of the Committee will be
found in favor of their proposition.
The report Of the Southern Claims Com
mission reached the House a few
minutes after adjournment. The different
amounts allowed for the past five years is
over $4,000 settling about five thousand
claims for property taken from loyal citi-
zens by the Federal army during the war
| in the Southern States.
The President has returned.
Nearly all the Congressman have gone
| homo for the holidays.
The Attorney-GeEeral is expected to re-.
/ turn tomorrow.
Chief Justice Waite and Judge Bond are
hearing the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
| case at Alexandria to-day.
| No Southern combinations to-day.

We reccllect to have read wild
dream bearing this title. IL was by
dissipated poet who, at his own request,
was Imprisoned that he might not
touch the cup Of ruin.
He found himself in % ear of glass,
on track of the same tr,N sparent ma
teriai. The motion wa easy and
musical, and the passengers around
him were gay. suddenly his eye
caught the glimpse of dead body
with i'+ face upturned by the way;
then .ther, and still another, stained
with f" ol and CHASTITY, receded rapid
ly Gs the cars flew onward.
With an exclamation of horror, s.he
enquired what the terrible spectacle
meant? A passenger replied, with a
loud laugh of meTEiment, that at the
end of the track was q precipice, over
whose edge tha train was dashed, to
make way for apOther and the bodies
were laid along The road, to apprize
the travellers of their own fate if they
went on to the end of the pleasant
journey, eld whispered with awful
emphssIs, "TLis is the railroad of
habit" The dreamer, notwithstanding
this warning reyerie, went over the
edge of ruin, and filed q drunkard's
grave
Gut besides the fearful illustration
tha vision affords of the sorcery and
devastation of intemperance, how for
cib,e the application to general impeni-
tenoe.
The sinner glides along past graves,
the fitted cross, and through an at
mUsphere of prayer, on the smooth
and seductive track Of habit
nCglecting the great sslvation-hoping
the charm will be broken, the brakes
applied, and his soul saved. But he
secs not, feels not the velocity and mo-
mentum of his course, tiil the verge of
PROBATION is reached: then a shrek
comes back, at least to the ear of faith,
and he is gOHC'
"His hOuors in dream are lost
And he awRkes in hell.'

THE MANUFACTURES OF SHOES.
what IL being done Elsewhere i'm this
Line,


There are only three firms in the
State who manufacture shoes-two at
Townsville, and the other at Char,
lotte-Messrs. Sample & Alexander.
We have been told by Mr.. Sample,
member of the Arm, that they are un-
able to supply their orders for shoes,
which speaks well for the enterprise.
We hope the time has come when
the Southern people will learn the i'm
portauce of manufacturing at home,
rather than buy from abroad in this
wSy only can we ever become pros
porous and independent people.
NJ !ssrs. Sample d Alexander, of
Charlotte sell at wholesale, and they
should receive the home patronage
Asheville IN. CO. EXpostor.
The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Gazette gives
an encouraging account of the opera
ticn of the shoe factory of Fits, Jasper
, II Maxwell. This firm has two peg
giuw machines at work, making $50
pair of shoes per day, and they are
only now getting little ahead OF or
! dtrs. Their make of shoes has given
satisfaction wherever used.
We give the above items to show
| what Is being done in the way of
manufacturing shoes at other points,
] hI'h W ll4uSlItlt Nlldl lhlBllb bt uOuC
iu that line in our own city.
J Thousands upon thousands of dol
lars 90 East every year for shoes and
boots alone, which might be manu-
| faCtured right here among us and
every dollar kept at home. 1t is only
necessary for some man of capital and
enterprise to take hold of this, and his
success is assured. We see no
reason why it should not be
80, Labor can be obtained as
cheap, to say the least of it, if not
cheaper, than in the East. The labor
ers can live cheaper. Rents are lower
&c, &c, Let the man who would
undertake this, make as good shoes as
they do East and sell them as cheap,
land he can do it If he willy and then
let the people know that he is doing
this by judicious and systematic ad-
vertising, and we see no reason why it
iFnOuld not prove success. We hope
some man of means will undertake it,.
While at Sweetwater, some time
siuce, a merchant there informed us
that he had made arrangements to go
into the manufacture of shoes on q
large scale after the first of January.
lie says he has contracted with n man
who will manufacture the shoes for
him cheaper than he can buy the same
shoe East, and he believes in building
mp and enriching' his own section.
We would be glad to hear of some
Knoxville gentleman immitating this
good example, and we feel confident
shat while building up and enriching
his own section, he would also enrich
! himself

AFTER SEVEN CENTURIES.
JuEgcrnHut TumbIinG 10 Pieces.
India Corrcsnondence of tho Lnndon Times

India Correspondence of tho London Times.
An event of some importance recently
occurred in connection with the Temple of
Juggernaut Throughout the whole Of the
Empire there is no shrine so sacred as
POoree, and no spot where deYout Hindoo
would rather die than beneath this great
faue. The temple, which cost half a mil
lion sterling of the money Of our timos, is
literally black with age. The storms of
nearly seven centuries, which are often so
violent in the Bay of Bengal have produced
little impression upon it, and until few
weeks ago it seemed as likely to remain as
many centuries more. Many of the large
temples in the province are now in ruins,
but they have not fallen through the wear
and tear Of time. 4 silent but eiiectual
power has been the cause of this destruct-
ion.
The seeds of the peepul and banyan trees
have got into the foundations These have
taken root; the saplng has forced its way
through the assures of the stones, and in
process of years the whole fabric has been
lOOsened and eventually brought down, and
itseems probable that the Temple eofJ Jugger-
naut will share the same fate. At the late
car festivals, as soon as the idols had been
taken from their thrones for their annual
excursion, several large stones from the
inner roof fell on the platform. Had they
fallen few minutes earlier the idols would
have been shattered to atoms, and in all
probability there would have been a great
loss of life. Tho resident magistrate applied
TO the Governor for an engineer to inspect
the damage. This was found TO be very
difficult task, rs the temple is so dark.
There are no apertures for the light; five 70
six lights are kept burning in the daytime,
but tho idols. IL is but very
and even with these nothing is visible
rarely that temples are repaired, and
the sound of tho chisel and the hammer on
the top of this great temple will do more to
weaken the faith Of the Hindoo in Jugger-
naut than anything that has occurred in
the present generation. There will be no
lack ofmoney for any estimate as the priests
are very wealthy, and the annual income of
the temple is said to amount TO GGS,0 200.
The question which is agitating all priests
is what is to be done with the idols while
the repairs are being made? The officers Of
the temple are most anxious to have the
idols restored TO their thrones. They pro>
pose that an inner ceiling of wood shall be
made to protect the idols and the worship
ers but there would be so much danger
should there be another fall Of stones that
the Rajah will not consent

TO the Editors Of tie Chronicle:
I am enjoying a brief visit TO this

The old college building is now used

One of the Doaks still ministers to the

Winter is giving us a blast that

Another Democratic Blunder.

The Democrats in Congress continue
to play into the hands Of their adver-
saries. Like the BourbOns, whom
they are 80 often named after, they
"never learn anything and never for>
get anything For example, Senator
Merrimon, of E1.tn Carolina, very
quietly introduced bill to-day to re-
peal section 4,7lG of the Revised Stat
utes. Those who were curious enough
to refer to the paragraph, found that
it was a section Of the Pension law
which provides that mo money on
account of pensions shall be paid to
any person or to the widow, children
or heirs Of any deceased person who,
in any manner, voluntarily engaged
in or aided or abetted the late rebel
lion against the authority of the
United States.n The introduction of
this bill is about on a par, if it is not a
good deal worse, than the blunder of
the Louisiana resolution. The Demo
Gratis have put their foot in it twice

A Clear Conscience.

How bravely a man can walk the
earth, bear the heaviest burdens, per
form the severest duties, and look all
men square in the face, if he only
bears in his breast a clear conscience,
void OF onense towards God and man.
There is no spring, no spur, no inspir-
alton like this. To feel that we have
omitted no task, and left no obligation

satisfAcuon, and thesoul with strength.
