Sensible Suggestions.

A correspondent writing from
GreeneviIle makes the following SEN
sible remarks, which we commend to
our Republican friends everywhere.
After speaking OF the failure TO elect a
D. LI=~,tI E1syf fir-ff,l
1874, he says
We are determined 10 do better in
the coming contest. We intend to
have a fair COnventiOn-nOt Con-
ventiOn gotten up in the interest OF
any ore man, or set of men, but in the
interest solely of the party. We want
every true Republican to attend the
county conventions, called to nOmi-
nate delegates to the Congressional
Convention, and then we want good
and true men appointed as delegates,
who will so to the Convention un-
trammeled in every way-nOt as dele
gates for this man or that man, but as
honest and true men, seeking to put
forward a standard bearer, who can
| lead them to victory. If Convention
called in that way and in that spirit,
should meet and nominate q man,
whether he be the choice Of all or not,
he will receive the entire Republican
strength and will be elected by one
thousand majority. On the contrary, If
a Convention shall be called by the
| intrigue and chicanery of some partic-
ular aspirants and candidate be put
on the track by such means, we will
again split up into factions, and fall
an easy prey to our enemies as we did
before. LEMON.

Mark Twain is writing another play.
The plot is located in San Francisco
and the silver mines of Nevada.
Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., is a graduate
of Harvard University, in the class of
1874. Jesse r. Grant, the Presidents
third son, is now a student at Cornell
University.
Henry Clay Dean, the statue Of real
estate, says that immersion is frog
pond religion, and adds that he lately
talked religion with Modoc widow,
and found her as wise as the profound
est philosopher.
Phil Sheridan is getting fat. Lin
coin once said to Welles that Sheridan
was "a brown, chunky little chap,
with long body, short legs, notenough
neck to hang him, and such long arms
that, if his ankles itch, he can scratch
them without st0oping.n
If James Parton, who has married
his step>daughter, had had son by
his first wife, there would have been
some queer relationships in the family.
While he is son-in-law to his late wife,
he would have been brother-in@law to
his own son, who would have been the
son of his own sister, and-bnt he
didn't have son.

Kentucky is central and has no sympa-

/ Louisville has a Hall capable Of seating
$500, but if necessary for more room the
/ Exposition Building could be secured, and
all the incidental expenses paid. The
/ hotels had agreed to charge only the usual
rates, and many citizens, if the hotels
/ should be overcrowded would open their
/ houses to guests. Kentucky had no son to
present for nomination, and therefore the
| deliberations would be free from improper
| influences. Kentucky would cheerfully
acquiesce in whatever the Convention
might decide.
Mr.. Jacobs in conclusion, as Mayor Of
Louisville, promised that should the Con

would be such that every delegate on his
return would feel as if he had never left

some Facts About the COunty's Finan-
cIaI Condition.
SEvIERvILLE, Tenn, Feb. 49, 1876.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle
Ipropose giving. a brief report of our
county finances. And from the polite
ness of our County Court Clerk, Mr..
VIM. Fowler, gather the following
figures. On the first of January, we find
about nine thousand dollars Of war
rants out in the hands of the people.
Therefore, this is our Indebtedness.
Then the total taxable property for
1S75 amounts to 81, ,484, ,O40. The cOun-
ty tax foG county purposes for 1875,
is S., ,936.l6. For bridge purposes, 81,
484.O4. The total tax for the county,
S7,42O.2O. Therefore we will find a de-
ficiency of 81 $40 so. There is no
money in the treasury, and county
warrants have been received for cOun-
ty taxes, without regard to date Or
number. There are many persons
who hold claims, issued as far back as
1869, who lay out OF the use Of their
money and hold on to their old war
IdulS u pun Jul lACo~SNk AAAAS jug HI
to be remedied and our warrants taken
up according to their date and num-
Der. We hope our Trustee will take
such action that persons holding those
old claims may be able to get the
money or otherwise be compensated
for their claims the present year. The
County Court should always levy a
sufficient tax to have surplus of from
S., 1000 to $4,000 in the County Treas
ury to meet any emergency at mo-
ments warning. The State tax for
1875, is 40 cents on the 500. The
county tax is 40 cents, school tax 2O
cents, bridges 10 cents. We find the
number of acres of land in the ~c9un-
ty tax book amounting to 1867 IL
acres. Dog tax $2,118.00. SEWER.

Rev. w. w. Patton, ID. d., very
orthodox Presbyterian minister Of
Chicago, who will be remembered for
his contest with Rev. David Swing,
delivered a very elaborate lecture
on the subject of Bible reading in pub
lie schools last sunday. One would
have conjectared, from DR.. pattoh'-
antece,ients, that he would favor the
Bible a. an emiaent textbook in the
schools: but he d.4- not; he take- the
contrary ground. He even advocates
the complete s-cular:zation Of the pub
lie schools, denies the value Of brief
Bible reading unaecoEnpGnied by ex-
planation, and argue that the church
and family, not the schools. are the
proper plAe7e- for religious instruction.

brief, yet it is told 80 earnestly from
true lips that il brings the recreant

when foot-sore Union soldier, drag
ging his weary body along on dusty
southern road, Major, of the COM
mand discovered his condition and
rendered him kindly ten-mile boost
on his own saddle. And the name of
the Major who walked that a weaker

Hunter, ofthe Freeman, puts this
good and honest advice: PAY As you
go-or don't 60 at all, y is good motto
sor hard times. When people learn to
keep cut Of debt and 10 live strictly
within their income we shall hear less
complaining about hard times. This
credit system and the extrayagant
ways people have been living since
the early years of the war, is one great
cause Of the hard times Of which so
many complain. And then the prac-
tice Of buying and selling on credit
makes many people dishonest.
People in this country land in town
too must get down TO square, honest
way of living and dealing and the
sooner they will relieve themselves
and their neighbors whom they owe
Of the annoyance that comes to every
people and country who do business
upon this shiftless, demoralizing
plan.
