A DiscOuraging Sign.

One OF the most discouraging signs to
reunited and prosperous country is the exhi-
btion of petty spite and sectional feeling
recently evinced in the dismissal of North
ern men from professorships in the East
Tennessee University, simply because they
were Northern men. That university was i'll
a very dilapidated condition at the close of
the war. 1t greatly needed Northern vim
and learning to get it once more on its feet,
and Northern professors rushed to its rescue.
But now the entire number, six in all, have
to walk the plank to make room for Southern
men. Professor Burton, a graduate of Yale,
and afterwards trained in the universities
of Paris, Berlin and Heidelberg, is turned
out to make room for Mississippi physician.
Whether this physician is awarded the place
for meritorious conduct in refusing to attend
the mutilated Chisholms does not appear.
Another seat taken from these Northern men
is given to Virginia adventurer, now serv-
ing the Khedive of Egypt. The worst
feature of the whole thing is that it shows "a
return of the bitter and malignant spirit OF
the times OF slavery. If such is the con
dtion of affairs in East Tennessee, what
must it be in the Gulf states and in other
sections where the old animus was always
much more conspicuous than in the vicinity
OF Knoxville The South is making very
grave mistake in thus tanning the old fires
of hate and persecution. lndustrially, tinan-
cially and educationally it is making ali
enormous blunder-a blunder ten times more
discouraging than the occasional brutal mur.
ders perpetrated by the ignorant chivalry u
of the Gulf states, and but partially condoned
by the better classes OF society in that section

GREELEY AND Tom RooKER.-The Troy
Press prints a reasonable story of Mr.. Gree
leys final but defeated effort to assert his
authority as editor of the Tribune. He had
tried two days in succession, without success,
to get in disclaimer of certain famous
editorial called "Crumbs of Comfort" which
seemed to involve him with some of his
old political friends. The third day he
climbed up into the printing-room to inter
view Tom Rocker, the old foreman, on the
subject, and said "Tom, how is it that that
article ordered to be put under the editorial
head has been left out twice :" Mr.. Rocker
grasped Mr., Greeley's hand tighter, and
replied "Mr, Greeley have received orders
to-day positively from the stockholders to nc
longer recognize you as editor-n-chief.
am very sorry, Mr. Greeley it was terrible
blow to me after such long service in the
Tribune office under your management" Mr.
Greeley, still holding Mr., Rockers hand
said +" Tom, is this ray reward Goodbye
Tom; | shall never darken the door of tn,

was on the 9Th of November, 1872, and il

JUSTICE CHEATEp.-The trial of the no
iorious burglars who robbed the Northamp-
ton bank has resulted, as everybody ought to
be glad to learn, in their conviction. But
there is one serious drawback. Seldom has
a story been told in court of justice, well
says the New York Sun more startling to
business men than that testified to by VIII
liam ID. Edison, in the trial of the Northamp-
ton bank robbers. As agent for one OF the
leading safe firms OF the country, this man
obtained admission to the vaults of banks
examined their keys and their locks, and
then deliberately plotted with professional
cracksmen to rob them. The compact be
tween the safe agent and the burglars was
maintained for years, and eliminated in
January, 1876, in the robbery of the North
ampton National Bank, when between a
million and million and a quarter of dol
lars in securities was taken. A quarrel oven
the spoils, and the chief criminals fear OF
detection, led to the development of all tn,
astonishing facts. Two of the burglars arr
at the bar of justice, while the wretch whose
responsibility is immeasurably greater thar
theirs is witness to his own ignominy anc
to their guilt, While it is gratifying to SEE
such dangerous band of outlaws broker
up the public will regret that in order t.
accomplish that end immunity had to b,
promised to William ID. Edison, whose name
will henceforth be numbered among those o.
the most notorious and vilest criminals.

CENSUS LEssoNs.-Accordin to the cen
us of 1860 the number of people engaged
IN agricultural pursuits were eighty per cent
If the population of the country. In 1870
his proportion had decreased to sixty-six
md two-thirds per cent. In other words, III
1860 there were four producers to every non
producer, while in 1870 there were only two
producers to each non-producer. Now it is
vident that the proportion of the latter is
TOO great. 1t is putting too much task upon
hose two farmers to make them furnish
support between them for another man and
his family They are not going to yield
enough to enable him to wear fine linen aud
fare sumptuously every day. Before we can
have general prosperity the balance must be
more nearly restored. In place OF having
only two men working on the FARMS and the
third man trying to make a living by selling
them what they want, carrying their grain,
manufacturing for them, practicing law for
them, we must have three or four men work
ing on the farm, to where there is one man
making his living by other means. This is
political economy in a nutshell it is the
only sound doctrine, and the one which the
common-sense of every man must tell him
is true. The reason that people do not hear
more of it is because it is not TO the interest
of politicians TO tell them the truth. They
prefer TO blind the voters with sophistry
about the national finances.

CHEERING SIGNs.-From all parts of the
country, with very slight exceptions, come
good reports of the farm crops in respect
both of quality and quantity. The summer
thus far has been exceptionally fine in every
respect-neither too wet nor too dry, too hot
nor too cold, The fields and forests never
looked better than they do now. 1t is de-
light to travel, go where one may, the air
being fresh and sweet, and the earth clothed
in beauty; while those who are compelled
by the hard times to stay at home may con
graduate themselves upon the impartial
bountifulness OF nature in laying her choicest
gifts at their very doors. But not alone in
the fine summer weather and in the prospect
OF good crops have we cause fol- rejoicing
There are cheering signs of revival OF
business in the fall On every side we heal
men speaking hopefully of the present out
look It is the general conviction that the
country has passed the lowest point OF de
preston, and that henceforth improvement
however slow, will be steady and sure.

CHARMING SCENERY.--The Colorado Cen
trail Narrow Gauge railroad runs through
Clear creek canon. The granite cliffs de.
scend thousand feet to the river, without
any bank. The railway is channelled from
the hillside. The twistings and turnings of
the canon are interminable and innumer-
able In graceful curves, or'in bold, rounded
sweep, the stream and the railroad pursue
their parallel course-ths railway seldom
crossing the river. The grade is about one
hundred and fifty feet to the mile, and the
dash OF the water is sight to see. A cor
respondent of the Boston advertiser says
" The trip was so exciting that we grasped
our seats and hardly talked. Two of the
party rode on the cow-catcher They report
it as the grandest ride OF their lives. The
granite cliffs were as wonderful, and even
more so, than the river. Of gray and red
granite, streaked all hues by the action
of the scarcely concealed ores, with theii
formations exposed, as if cut across by the
knife of giants-seamed, twisted, gnarled-
presenting sometimes smooth and at other,
the most grotesque faces, they were a con
slant study. What kept millions of loose
stone from dropping upon the track no one
could understand. They looked like demons
with their heads downward ready to pounce
upon u.s."

BANKRUPTCY DEoIsIoS.-Judge Miller of
the Supreme Court has just rendered de-
cision which is of interest to those who may
be concerned in bankruptcy proceedings.
The case was carried TO the Supreme Court
on appeal from the district court in New
York, and the decision was in favor of the
assignee OF bankrupt firm who brought
suit to recover for the firms creditors prop
erty said to have been diverted TO the wife
of one of the partners. 1t rested upon the
ground that the money was withdrawn from
the business against the interest of the credi
tors. At the same time the judge held that
where it cannot be shown that the property
was wrongfully settled upon the wife, ther
ii cannot be recovered Tor the benefit Of
creditors.

Coon SHowING.-ln the days of sham
aud fraud, sound financial institution is all
the more highly priced. The twenty-seventh
semi-annual statement of the Travellers in
surance company, Of Hartford speaks vol
umes in its behalf. In spite OF the marking
down of values, its assets are two hundred
and eighty thousand dollars higher than last
year, besides paying a regular semi.annual
dividend on six hundred thousand dollars
stock. There is a slight shrinkage in its
life business, but a very large increase in its
accident. The gross assets of the Travellers
foot up about four millions and quarter,
and its liabilities a trihe over three millions,
leaving as good security for the policy
holder as could be desired. The Travellers
has made and maintained good record and
may be depended upon. Its accident losses
have always been paid promptly aud it has
met with some very severe ones, The Ash.
tabula disaster drew great deal of money
out of it but the policies of everyone of the
victims in that fearful accident were paid
promptly, and within the time prescribed in
policies. The directors may be congratu
lated upon the success they have met with.

STILL DIssATIsFIED.--The Toronto Mail
is not pleased with the financial and business
affairs OF Canada. In a recent number it
calls attention to the fact that the United
States has reduced the national debt three
hundred million dollars during the last eight
years, and cut down the rate of interest from
six and seven to four per cent. and all this
after a ruinous and expensive war, Turn
ing to the Dominion it finds that there has
been no war, and that with a semi-free trade
tariff on manufactured goods, and almost
complete free trade in farm products and
lumber, the Dominion is compelled TO send
to England annually to borrow money TO
meet government expenditures, while her
debt is steadily increasing and her credit
weakening With this contrast before it
the Mail wants the free trade advocates to
rise and explain.

VALUABLE lNFoRMATIoN,-The first an.
nual report on the internal commerce of the
United States is published. 1t says the
value of the railroads of the United States
is about twenty-three times the value OF
shipping engaged in our foreign commerce
and that the value of our internal commerce
is twenty-five times the value of our foreign
commerce; that eighty-seven per cent of the
grain shipped from the West 10 the seaboard
last year was transported on rail lines, and
that over ninety per cent, of the entire inter
nal commerce of the country is on the rail
roads. Although the total amount of contri
buttons OF the government, up to the close
of the year 1876, in aid of railroad construc
ton, amounted to one hundred and forty
four millions of dollars, embracing lane
grants and subsidies to the Pacific railroads
yet this sum is only three per cent. of tn,
entire cost of the railroad system of tn,

Exports OF Meat.

The time has not long past when an
American who should propose to export beef
from this country TO England would be
regarded as q lunatic or n fool Yet this
trade has expanded, and has now reached
very large proportions, and is perhaps des-
tined to grow 10 such an extent as to render
it one of our most remunerative sources Of
income.
We have recently found the following
statistics of this business, which we lay be
fore our readers We export at present one
hundred and fifty carcasses day, represent
ing money value Of between eleven thou
sand and twelve thousand dollars. The mar
kets of London, Manchester, Birmingham
and Sheffield are now regularly supplied with
American meat at sixteen cents per pound,
while English beef costs from eighteen to
twenty-three cents. John Bull is delighted
with the new system, which cheapeus the
roast beef of old England to the extent OF
twenty-five per cent. His only fear now
seems to be that it is too good to last, that
with the constantly and largely increasing
demand the supply will give out. He need
have no uneasiness on this score. Practi
cally the supply is inexhaustible. At pres
cut only the very choicest Ohio, Indiana
Kentucky and Missouri cattle are used fol
export, but we can draw to almost any ex
tent on the prairies of the West and thu
plains OF Texas. The possibilities of tn,
district between the Mississippi and tn,
Rocky Mountains as grazing and stool
raising country can hardly be computed
while the actual cost of raising cattle i
almost nominal, the only expense during
nine months OF the year being the outlay o
herding and an annual branding.
The English grazier pays, to start frou
the beginning, at the rate of twenty-five dol
/ lars per acre per annum for pasturage, Will
hay oats, barley, and all kinds of fodde
are dearer there than here. Under thes
conditions it becomes possible to send Amei
lean beef a distance of three thousand mile
and retail it to the English consumer a
twenty-five per cent less than the native al
ticle. Arrangements are now being pei
fected to largely increase this branch OF gu
export trade. So far the pioneers in tn
movement had much to contend with in til
way of high charges and imperfect accomm,
Automatically incidental to the establish
ment of an entirely new industry. A health
competition is likely to decrease the cost {
transportation and enlarge the volume {
exports. New outlets for American be,
will be found at all the great centres of Z,
ropean population, within twelve hours
continental seaports by rail. Masses of PEI
pie abroad who heretofore have been unab
to provide themselves with meat as a dali
article of food will hail this new America
industry as a blessing. Boats are in Il
future to be built with special view of a
commodating this growing trade, whic
promises to be "A source of great wealth {
the country. 1t is believed that Europe wi
take within few years all the fresh be,
we can furnish at sixteen cents per pound.

HOPEFUL Observation-Disclosures the
factories of New England show healthy
signs of the gradual improvement of bust
ness. Forty-nine of the largest of thos,
mills which turn out thirty per cent of tn,
whole product have for the first six month.
of 1877 used about three per cent. more raw
material than in the same period in 1876
Their annual average consumption is about
three hundred and eighty-fve thousand
bales. During the first half of last year they
worked up eighty-six million seven hundred
thirty thousand eight hundred and fivepound,
OF cotton. For the corresponding time this
year they used eighty-nine million two hun.
bred thirty-eight thousand nine hundred and
forty-two pounds. But as the quality of the
cotton used this year was superior to that OF
last, the actual amount of manufactured
goods exceeds that of the first half of 1876
by fully five per cent. And though the
manufacture has been so much larger, the
goods have found ready markets, there be-
ing no considerable accumulation on hand,
while the demand is still perceptibly i'm
proving. If prices continue at the present
low figures it is expected that all the New
England mills will be kept running at their
hi hest capacity during the fall and winter
to meet the demand At present throughout
the United States there are annually used
one million and four hundred thousand bales
of raw cotton, while from two million to
three million bales are exported.
