THERE has been bad management somewhere
about the finances in Tennessee. The State
treasury is empty, and there is no way to re-
plenish it except by conyening the Legisla-
fure, and it is thought very doubtful If that
body can do anything about it. This and vari-
Gus other weaknesses of Democratic manage
ment induced the Hon. W. G. Brownlow to
predict q Republican revival iu East Tennessee
which will sweep the Democrats from power
NelC York Tribune.
Not a word of encouragement for the
Republicans in this; but if the boot had
been'on the other foot, if the bad manage.
ment had been the result of Republican
rule, the Tribune would have found space
for lengthy comment in denunciation of
ignorant negroes, carpet -baggers and seal
lawags. The only wonder is that this in
veterate hater of Southern Republicans
allowed any allusion to Southern Demo
cratic corruption to appear in its columns.

THE FUTURE OF WASHINGTON.

The founders of our Capital City were
undoubtedly imbued with a due apprecia-
tion Of the growth of the nation, and the
commensurate grandeur Of the seat Of the
nations Government Their work was
done with a view TO magnificent results,
and a nobly.developed future. Broad
avenues, wide streets and imposing thor.
oughfares Of every kind were included in
their plans. But Il should be remembered
that they were one and all moro or less
directly impressed with the grandeur of
European capitals, and that their plans
were made with an intention 10 compete
with II not 10 eclipse that grandeur. They
knew that the unaided efforts Of the per.
Inancnt residents Of the District could not
accomplish this end, and, therefore, at.
tempted TO provide that the Government
itself should defray It's proportion OF tho
expense required TO attain the superiority
OF which they dreamed. They were care.
ful TO provide that the location should be
free from the direct influences Of contiguous
commercial interests. Great Britain, with
Its capital located in the midst Of contain
mating monopolies, presented warning of
the corruption which Is always possible
under such circumstances, and they desired
TO avoid such possibility. In the course
Of events, however, this design has been
abandoned. The idea that the nation at
large should defray preponderating share
Of the expenses of maintaining, improving
and beautifying the Capital City has been
TNaFfiallu iunproH
ten. A race Of short-sighted econo.
mists has taken the place of broad
minded and public spirited patriots.
Men who contemplated with patriotic
pride the probabilities of Washington
outrfvaling London, Paris, Berlin or Brus.
sels have been replaced by stingy pigmies,
whose sole object seems to be TO play the
demagogue, and, while seeking extravagant
appropriations for their immediate constitu-
ents, TO win reputation for economy by
striking at the very heart of the plainest
indication!.of the country's progress. There
no longer exists, except in limited way,
that old.time spirit and desire that the
greatest Republic of the earth shall eclipse
the boosted capitals of kingdoms and EN-.
pires in the beauties Of its seat of govern
ment, and that works of art shall embek
lish and make attractive the official resi-.
dence Of our lawmakers and executive
officers. In its stead there is a sullen and
disgrsceful determination that everything
akin to an inspiration Of progress shall be
stuDted al its inception, and nipped in the
bsd before Ii reaches the bloom of promise.
Under great difficulties, and in opposition
TO this retrogressive spirit, much has been

A NATIONAL CONVENTION of 'colored
newspaper men" is called to meet at Gin
cinnati on the fourth Of August. This will
be the first assemblage of the kind, we be-
lieve, ever held. 1t should be generally
attended, and as it is supposed to be to some
extent under the auspices or patronage of
Peter II. Clark, there is no reason why
it should not be. The colored element in
the profession of journalism is by no means
an insignificant one, and it deserves en-
couragement. No better indication of the
progress of the race is to be found than in
the fact that it is able and willing to support
large number,of newspapers devoted to its
interests.

The Times viii not deny that in either
case the strength of the Government should

resource of the nation might properly be
called upon. This is our idea of the way

laboring classes. Estimating these at the
liberal. figure of ten millions, we have
aweekly necessity Of one hundred millions
for this purpose. What is needed beyond
this in the shape of capital tied up in raw
material undergoing the process Of manu-
facture, the moving of crops, &c, is more
difficult of estimate, and indeed greatly de-
pends upon the degree of activity of circu-
lation that is maintained throughout the
country. This is, in fact the important
point. Circulation is accelerated or i'm
peded by the amount of confidence which
the public maintains in the financial sound
ness of the business community and the
security and safety of the medium
In use. When there is general
lack of this confidence, and the
tendency is to hoard the precious metals
or their equivalent, our ten millions OF
families by the boarding of three dollars
per week each would lock up thirty mil
lions of currency. Should they continue
this process of boarding and economy for
three months the sum would aggregate
$500, 900, 600, or if persisted in during six
months the hoard would amount to $780,
100000. On the contrary, If there is full
general confidence pervading all classes,
and the medium is kept in full and active
circulation by the liquidation of claims or
savings deposits in the institutions which
Immediately loan them for circulation,
there is no such contraction or stringency
experienced.
From these hypothetical conditions 1t
may be seen how absolutely our circula-
latlon Is subject to that commercial conf
dence which can only be maintained by
circulating medium, possessing intrinsic
value such as coin or coin-notes. II is
obvious that well. grounded confidence can.
not be secured except by the maintenance
of q specie basis. Our circulating notes
must be made redeemable In coin or Its
equivalent before we can secure full re.
turn Of public confidence such as Is nece&
sary to an active and healthful circulation
Of our medium of exchange. Tho redemp.
ton Of our legal tender notes In coin or lis
equivalent will attain the desired result.

Recovering a Hat Under Difficulties.

Louisville correspondence of the Chi
cagO Tribune :: "a gallery-god produced
a great deal OF mirth and applause, Fri
day evening at Macauley's, Just before
the curtain rose for the final act of Mr..
Raymond's impersonation of Col. Mul-
berry Sellers. At the time, every seat,
parquet, circle, balcony and gallery, was
occupied, and even standing-room was
hardly to be had. A young man who sat
in the balcony accidentally let his hat
fall into the parquet. The crowd around
him was SO great that he could not force
his way out and down to get his hat
Right here his gigantic intelligence came
TO the rescue, and like the man of brains
he had come to see, he evolved an idea
from his inner consciousness. The idea
was altogether new. He tore his hand
kerchief, and perhaps that of a friend,
into strips, and tied them together. He
next very cautiously dropped the line
over the railing, and slowly lowered it III
the direction of the parquet below, hop
ing to escape the. attention of those
III the gallery above. Such was not to
be, however AS the odd-looking line
descended to a chap in the parquet, the
SiiilCIy -SOuo SSpiStl IL, anu tlSO VIC iibl.
Loud cries of "Shoot him :" "Put him
out !" "Shoot the hat 20 Pull her up"
etc, greeted the young man in the par
quet as he attached the line to the hat,
so that, by the time the owner began to
pull upward, the entire audience was in
an uproar. The curtain now rose for the
last time, and so did the hat. When
both were about halfway up, a gallery
god shouted, "Pull her up, boys
there's millions in it; pull her up, up,
up" The audience was full of mirth
before the cry was uttered. The wit of
the young man above was quickly per
ceived and appreciated, deafening ap-
plause following his remark. Those on
the stage looked on i'll amazement, such
as is seldom seen on their faces. Their
look plainly showed they feared some
thing wrong i'll the play had occurred,
but not until Col. Mulberry hurried on
the stage did the noise cease.

Care Of the SICK.

Why should the greatest attention bt
paid to the bed of a sick personl
Because, as he passes most of his time
IN bed, and the body is more susceptible
OF impressions during the period of sick
ness than at any other time, his present
comfort and future recovery may be
greatly influenced by the regulation OF
this matter.
Why should attendants upon persons
suffering under contagious diseases weal
glazed gowns and aprons of oil silk?
Because textures of wool, fur, cottoI
or any loose or downy substance, have
capabilities of receiving and retaining
the air, which being charged with the
poisonous exhalations, the infection is
by this means communicated to the body
Why should the curtains of the sick
bed, or the paper of the sick-room, moi
have patterns of prominent or monoton
GUS character
Because when the eye of the sick per
son is constantly meeting with certain
figures his brain becomes disturbed, anC
his mind wearied by tracing and follow
ing them.
Why is wetting the floor of sick
room injurious!
Because the slow evaporation from the
boards operates in the same manner
upon the surface of the body as exposure
to damp or foggy weather, and the in.
creased sensihveness of the body to out.
ward influences during sickness, rem iers
every evil doubly dangerous.
Why should glasses from which medi-
cines have been taken be cleansed when
they are done with
Because many medicines when they
are exposed to the air rapidly undergo
changes which alter their properties, and
this alteration having been undergone
by the small portion which is always left
Ill the glass or cup, communicates the
tendency to decomposition to that which
may be next poured into the cup and
thus the properties of medicines may be
altered, and their efficacy wholly neu
tralized.
Why is speaking distinctly better than
whispering in sick room
Because whispering stretches the at
tention to listen, or else gives the trouble
of asking what is said and it may be
injurious to the sufferer by exciting many
inquiring ideas.
Why should persons in a sick-room be
careful not to jostle the furniture, dis
turb the curtains, rustic the leaves of a
book, etc.,
Because, trifing as these accidents
may appear to person i'll health, to an
invalid they impart the acutest pain
disease has awakened in him a high
degree of nervous sensibility, which ex-
tends the personality or identity of the
invalid to everything he touches, OF
which is nearest him so that if, for in
stance, the sofa on which he may be
lying is rudely pushed against and
shaken, he feels as though he himself
had been struck.

Murder and Suicide.

Robert Sims was engaged to be mar.
ried to Miss Willie, daughter of Capt.
Gill Greer, of Bosque County. The
parents of the young lady were bitterly
opposed to the match, and induced her
to break the engagement. Sims swore
she would never marry any one else. He
left, and was spending his time in Kan
sas. In the meantime, the young lady
had become engaged to young doctor
named Trader. A friend of Sims wrote
to him and explained the condition of
affairs. Sims returned, and, going to
the house of Capt. Greer, found the
young doctor there. He asked the
young lady to take walk with him.
This she refused to do, but said she
would see him privately i'll another
room. They adjourned to the other
room, and soon pistol shot was heard
i'll that direction. The mother of the
girl went as rapidly as possible to the
relief of her daughter, but, by the time
she arrived, Sims had shot the girl three
times, and, placing the pistol to his
head, blew his own brains out. He died
Immediately, and the young lady sur
vived him only few moments. Sims
had some time before that killed a man,
and this had probably rendered him
desperate. IVaTahatchie (Ter.) Enter
