Thirty five or forty years ago the
State OF Mississippi repudiated a
parcel of her bonds, and such was
the disastrous result to her credit
abroad that Tennessee ought to be
willing just now To pay at least as
much as forty per cent. of her bond
ed debt for the inestimable privilege
OF proiiting 10y her eXample.-TCou

1t is believed that there are men
in the Legislature of Tennessee
whose share of the State debt would
amount to five, ten, fifteen or twenty
dollars each, more or less, and in
order to to keep from paying this

they would, by reputation, bare the

ED. CITIzEN:-The weather for
! the past week has been very fine
indeed which was very acceptable to
our farmers, giving them an oppor-
tunity of gathering their crops, get
ting them to market and to finish
sowing wheat, which they have
made very good use of. Still there
is a good deal of cotton in the
patch yet. Wheat sowing about
over, and corn all gathered. Our
town has been very lively the past
week, as the farmers have been
bringing in their produce in a hur

busy. There have been some half
dozen car loads of mules and horses
shipped from here lately; hogs and
cattle in proportion.

The war in the East is yet reality.
The Russians have not yet reached
their objective point, nor have the
Turks been able to drive the Rus
slams north OF the Danube. Each
holds the position so much desired
by the other, and yet, neither has
been able to gain any very substan
tial advantage over the other. The
neigbo:ing nations are watching the
combatants, and yet more closely
watching each other. England
keeps her eye on India, while France
is looking towards Berlin, and Ger
many is unusually polite to the au-
tocrat of all the Russias. Meantime,
internal confusion came near setting
all France on fire and diverted at
tention for the time from Plevna.

Senator Davis on the Currency.

Measures are now pending before
Congress intended TO correct some
of the evils under which the country
is suffering. The extraordinary
spectacle s presented to the world
of three elements of national cur
rency-gold, greenbacks and silver
each having different value, and
the two last deprecated by legisla-
ton procured in favor of the first.
The injustice of this discrimination
need not be discussed, for it is felt
in unexampled distress all over the
land. Honor requires us to keep
faith with the public creditors to
the last letter of the law, but it also
demands that faith shall be kept
with the people, upon whom falls
the burden of taxation and the duty
of national obligations. Every
measure calculated to bring about a
sound and uniform currency, and to
wipe out the distinctions which ia
vor one portion of the community
at the cost of the rest, shall receive
my cheerful and earnest support
With much respect,
DAVID DAVIS.

is strictly forbidden. Again, no child
under nine years-Or after this year under
ten-can be employed at all, except it
were already engaged on August is last.
These restrictions apply to cases in which
a parent keeps his child at home IN order
to run errands, or attend The shop, though
not to girls, who are detained to nurse the
younger children, or for domestic duty
generally. The condition to which the
employment OF children of this age is sub
ordinated, is the production OF a Certificate
from certain named authorities, to the
effect that they have either attended at not
more sAan two schools in the neighbour
hood on $50 occasions in each oftwo wears;
or else that they have passed the examina-
ton prescribed for the Sc cond standard of
the code for 1876. The penalty for yinlat.
ing tue Act is forty shiIlings for each
offence; but if a master, in spite Of due
precautlon, is deceived by a false certificate
as 10 age or school attendance, he escapes
punishment. An agent or workman who,
without his masters knowledge, illegally
employs IL child, renders himself liable an.
der the Act. Children who reside more
than two miles from an efficient school are
exempt from attending. Moreover, employ
ment IS permitted when the school is not
open or may be sanctioned by the local
authority in the case Of those who are
over eight years old, for six ,Neeks in each
year, for purposes Of husbandry, harvesting,
ana the gathering in of crops.

A very dangerous incident is occurring
in New Orleans. The Republicans claim
the State, and their Governor. Mr.. Packard,
has occupied the State House. and garri-
soned 1t with the negro militia. Th9
Democrats. on the other hand, say their
candidates were returned, and have occu-
pied all other public buildings, organised an
armed white police. aud besieged the State
House. President Grant at first refused
to interfere, but he has subsequently or
dered General Augur to maintain peace
between the factions. The Democrat
Governor, Mr.. Nichols, therefore, has
Withdrawn the white police, and both
parties rest on their arms, pending a deci.
sion from Washington. 1t is believed
that the Republicans are not willing to
push the quarrel d outrance, as physical
force is against them in the State itself,
while the Democrats are unwilling to
rouse the North by Offering the slightest
resistance to the Federal troops.
