shipping Early Vegetables this
WAY.

The Nashville American says: 1t was
only two years ago since our produce
dealers began to forward to Northern
markets early fruits and vegetables OF all
descriptions. Last spring the trade in
creased to large proportions, even in the
face Of heavy tariff which cut down the
profits Of dealers and made the business
rather hazardous to those engaged there
in. Believing that the coming season will
be an active one, the shippers united in a
petition for reduction Of freight rates.
This brought together, in joint meeting,
last Saturday, General Minty, General
Superintendent, and r. G. Butler, local
freight agent OF the Southeastern road.
Jas. Rhodes, Superintendent Of the Adams
Express Company; William Willis, Su.
pertinent Of the Southern Express Com
pany; J. L. Hopkins, express agent at
Nashville, and the dealers in frnit and
vegetables. Satisfactory rates and time
were agreed upon by the express COM
panies 10 Chicago, ST. Louis, Cincinnati,
indianapolis, Terre Haute and Pitts.
burgh. The manner in which the officers
and agents OF the various transportation
companies have acted toward our pro.
iuce dealers is commendable. They will
thus not only assist Nashville in building
up a lucrative trade in products that
have heretofore gone to waste for want oil
market, but will also greatly benefit the
corporations which they represent.

REDUCING THE GOVERNMENT INTER.
Esr.-The New York Times goes into an
ANALYSIS Of the public debt statement for
March, and thinks that upon the whole
the country is to be congratulated on
what has been accomplished up to this
time. The total amount Of bonds bear.
ing coin interest was, on March lat, 1862
S2,lO7, ,s54,05O, and on April l, 1876, ST.
G95,O37. $50, decrease of s4l2,SlG,7OO.
These bonds bore interest in 1876, S94.'
COL, $50, and in 1869, 1924, ,255,S5O, giving
an animal saving in interest Of S29,G53,'
4Ol, in addition to three per cent on the
S57,OO0,0OO Of currency certificates which
have been paid of. The Times says "it
would unqucstionably have been wiser
in Congress, instead of forbidding
the withdrawal OF legal tender
notes, to have retired moderate
amount Of them every year" These
figures show that the burden Of the pub
lie debt has been diminished one.fourth
There are still outstanding nearly
thousand million OF @ per cent bonds, and
to replace them the Secretary OF the
Treasury is to be permitted TO issue a
per cent bond, to be sold at par, and it is
not probable that anything better will be
offered. We certainly are now paying
at least per cent more interest on all
the redeemable G per cent bonds than
there is any necessity for paying. New 5a
are now selling in London at 1868, and
there is every reason to believe that A!
per cent bonds, with the provision oI
longer time urgently recommended by the
Secretary, would now command a largt
and ready sale. Not because the natior
lacks credit, but its legislators lack wis
dom, we are still paying 0 per cent inter
est on 81 ,OOO,OOOOOO of Indebtedness. The
markets of the world overflow with capita
seeking a safe investment.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, April 10.--In the House Of
Commons Mr.. Bourke, replying to the
question OF Elliott about the unexpendsd
balance Of the Geneva Award, siad that
the Arbitration Commission would sit at
Washington in July next when the ques.
tion Of surplus will be decided.
EUROPEAN GRAIN MARKErs:
The Marx Lane Etpress says: It is
stated that a full crop Of wheat must not
be expected. The acreage under wheat
appears TO be about five.sevenths OF that
oi 1875, and the quantity OF wheat sold
in the country tor sowing has been con.
siderably less than usual. Trade has
been of very limited character during
the past week, and the temporary adj
vance in the price Of wheat has been lost.
AIillers and speculators are alike await
ing the future course Of business. This
return OF dullness Is not surprising, con-.
sidering the heavy stocks reported at
Liverpool and other ports, the figures
showing that although the stocks In Lon.
don have declined almost one-third since
the beginning OF the year, yet elsewhere,
the supply has equaled the consumption,
and there has been no diminution Of
stocks. Sill, there appears to be sufh-
cient firmness in wheat at the present
prices to prevent very marked decline,
and any great change either way seems
impossible.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Rtlli Mr. as
serts that Prince Wrede, the Austrian
representative at Belgrade, few days

Turkish troops would occupy Seryia II
she declared war against Turkey. Prince
Milan asked Prince Wrede to repeat the
threat in writing, and Wrede Immediately
complied. Prince Milan then laid the
written communication before the Minis.

members, who unanimously advised him
to pay no attention 10 It.
A Vienna special to the Times reports
that mob made warlike demonstra.
tion in Belgrade, on Sunday, and insulted
two employees Of the Austrian Consulate.
The police did not interfere. Austria
has ordered her representative to demand
satisfaction.

val on Sunday said, III the Turks attack

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Tho lsowlers and MIR. PcndIeton

CINCINNATI, April 10.-The Enquirer
tomorrow will contain report OF an in
terview with George p. Bowler, one Of the
principal heirs to the Bowler estate and
General Manager Of the Kentucky Cen
trail railroad, in reference to the admins
trution Of the Bowler estate, in which
Hon. George II. Phndleton has been ac-
cused Of taking advantage OF the minor
heirs.
Mr.. Bowler said-I was a member OF
the Board OF Control OF the Kentucky
Central railroad at the time the arrange
ment was made fixing Mr.. Pcndleton's
compensation for the collection OF the
clam against the Government, and it
met with my hearty consent and
full approval. My mother, in her
own interest and as guardian OF the two
minor children was consulted, though that
was not obligatory according to the rules
Of association Of the Kentucky Central
Il. r., and the arrangement was unhesita-
tingly confirmed by her. The settlement
made by Mr.. Pendicton 10 the board was
entirely satisfactory to US and is now.
My brother, now within few months OF
his majority, has expressed himself in the
most positive terms US TO the justice OF
the compensation and gives it his most
cordial approval. My father died July
dth, 1864. Since that time Mr.. Pendle.
ton has had charge OF the estate and the
separate property Of my mother. He has
sacrificed his private interests, and the
practice Of his profession. AT my fathers
death there were large debts which were
paid, not by the sacrifice Of valuable se-
curity, but by money raised by Mr.. PEN
dleton on his individual credit, and the
pledge Of his own private fortune. This
continued for years, and several law suits
involving large amounts OF money and
very intricate questions were pending at
the time OF my fathers death. No one
can appreciate except those interested and
who lived with Mr.. Pendleton, the labor,
anxiety and unremitting strain imposed
by his unceasing vigilance in behalf Of
this trust. Regarding the allegation that
Mr.. Pendleton used money in prosecut-
ing the claim against the Government, Mr..
| Bowler said he was satisfied that il was
absolutely false in every particular.
