BANK SUSPENSION.

The Commercial Bank, Knoxville, sus-
pended last Wednesday. AT meeting
of the creditors at the banking house
last Friday, Mr.. R. NJ McClung, Presi-
dent of The bank, submitted a PROPOSE
ton to the creditors, that if they would
allow things to remain just as they were
for sixty days, he would at the expira-
ton Of that time, he was confident, be
able to satisfy every demand against the
bank that was due; if he failed, then
the creditors to take such action as they
might deem necessary. He asked sus-
pension of Judgment and action for that
time. This proposition was accepted Dy
the creditors, and the trustee in deed oil
trust. Col. Hu. L. McClung, was requlr-
ed to give bond and security in the sum
of $50, 1000. We know nothing OF the
causes that forced the Commercial to
suspend, but we do know that no man In
Knoxville has the more confidence OF
its people for integrity in business ana
moral worth than R. NJ. McClung its Pres
dent, and though it may temporarily in
convenience many good men, we predict
there win be a satisfactory adjustment
made with all its creditors. 1t was re-
ported that the suspension of the Com
nerciaI would carry with it the failure
of the FARMLAND Fire Insurance compa-
nv. The Tribune of Saturday says that
Col. Polk, State Treasurer and Insurance
Commissioner, who visited Knoxville to
look after the interests of the policy hold !
ers of the company, found every thing IN
q satisfactory condition and the officers
of the company at work preparatory to
effecting the necessary reinsurance. We
see nothing in the affair to cause loss of
sleep either to the creditors of the bank |
or to the policy holders in the FARMLAND !
in the last of which we are whom.

HIGH SALARIES THE AVERAGE
PROFESSOR.
KNOxvILLE, April Q, Isl

t.. hAOAf1LLEl ApIl " 1870. p
To the Editor of the Kforristown Gazette:
The Legislature of New York is inves-
tigating the enormous salaries paid to
tile officers of the large Insurance COM
panies of that State. They should also
! include the salaries paid to the officers
| of railroads. Our railroads are neeessi-
ties, and as we have to pay indirectly
those large salaries, a little ventilation
And wish to call attention to almost
sinecure in our own locality, viz: the
average College Professor. At the first
glance the amount paid him, 81 800 per
year, does not seem to be exhorbitapt-;
but look at it.. The year consists or 40
weeks; his week of days; and his days
of hours-equal to 600 hours-or 60
days of 10 houfs-oT two months. 5000
for one month of 80 days-or $50 for one
day of 10 hours-or So an houri The
day laborer gets his 10 cents an hour for
labor. The railroad engineer. risks his
life for 80 cents an hour The farmer
must needs raise and take to market or
bushels of corn to get an amount equal
TO the Professors one hour of timei
But the reply to this is that the Pro-
fessor's labor is brain work, exhausting
labor-that it would be oppressive to re-
quire of him more service than three
hours day. Now the fallacy Of such
an argument is seen at once in the fact
that this same Professor requires of the
young and tender minds of the students
placed under his charge 10 hours of close
application to mentallaborin an untried
field, while the Professors three hours
are mere routine duty in familiar and
often gone over text books.
The business man, editor, merchant,
bookkeeper, superintendent of any large
manufacturing establishment necessarily
labOrs 10 hours day, often encroaching
upon the hours devoted to sleep, and
this not only days in the week but the
whsle g days, and during the whole %
weeks of the year-no vacation of 10
weeks in the hot months for hirn-and
the amount of brain force brought into
action by the business man is far more
than thato the Professor

rule, SO at least it looks to a quasi z

-NARRLtGE. FREE.

The State tax Of one dollar on
marriage license has been abolished,
and now our young Inen can get per.
mission to take a wife simply by
paying he fee OF the clerk, which
will be one dollar. We doubt the
wisdom and fail TO see the necessity
for This repeal. The tax on marrI-
age license was and always has been
paid with more cLeerfGlaess than
any other tax. No man ever com
planned. No man with d red cent
ever would compiain at having TO
pay dollar for The privilege of
marrying the woman lie loved. BY
the repeal of this law the treasury
will lose u or Is thousand dollars
per annum.
The law. in all well regulated com
munities, ought of course to encom-
age young people as soon as they
reach the proper age, to marry. No
ought TO be thrown in
the way. Gods lawrequires men to
marry, while common sense teaches
US that it is right. The State. how
ever. has always regarded marriage
as a privilege which might beiaxed,
and our young men have always paid
the amount required of them with
great cheerfulness. We think our
have made = mistake in
this matter. The repeal was not
called for.
We have never yet heard of man
zoo poor to get married-if he could |
,nly find a woman who would have
him. Somehow he alway raises the
ash TO pay for the license, and he
loes it, as a generalruie, witheu ut do
ng injustice to any Lo,iy. We can
lot see why the law was repealed.

THE LAST CARPET BIGGER.

If the orders of the President have
been carried out in good faith, the Uni
ted States troops were yesterday at noon
ordered out of the State House at Col.
umbia, and the people of South Carroll
ma are to be left free to settle their own
local State matters in their own way.
The troops never had any business in
Columbia. 1t was an act of tyranny to
send them there in the first place, and it
has been simply oppression and outrage
upon free government to keep them
there. But if they are gone, we thank
Mr.. Hayes for this act OF justice to
sovereign State. Wade Hampton has
promised to keep the peace in South Car
DINA, and he will do it without any in
reference of Federal soldiers. Peace
and prosperity will now return to that
long-suffering State, and we will not
hear of any more riots or wholesale muir
ders and butcheries, either of negroesby
white men or white men by negroes.
Mob law and Lynch law will go out OF
existence now, and the machinery of
South Cardinals government will run as
smoothly as that of Maine or Massachu
sets. Let us thank God first, and then
thank Wade Hampton for his heroic
struggle for constitutional liberty for the
oppressed people of South Carolina. We
hope the people down there will enjoy
their new liberties tenperately and guard
them jealously.
And now Packard, in Louisiana, is the |
last remaining Carpet-Bagger He run |
for Governor last fall and was beaten by |
some ten thousand majority, but by the
minipulaJions of the infamous returning /
board he managed to have himself coun-
ted in. Up to the present time he has
been protected in his position by the
United States army. This state of af- |
fairs caunot last much longer. The PEG
pie of the whole Union have determined
that the army shall not longer be used to
protect these infamaus usurpers, and SO,
in little while, Packard must go as the
other Carpet-B aggers have gone. AS +
soon as this event happens, recOnstruc-
tion will be complete The States of the
South will be the equals of the other
States of the Union. An era Of prosper r
Ity win then set in for the Southern peo-
pie such as has never been experienced
IN the past; The idea that the white
people win mistreat and murder the ne {
yroes if the soldiers were taken away is }
J false one. The negroes are just as safe
IS the whites are, they have precisely
he same rights, and viii be protected Q
" the same laws. il

markabIe good sense upon the sub
jet of the Tennessee State debt,
the greater portion of which we
transfer to our. colums as Follows
The people of Tennessee should
take pains IoazPost themselves on
this question before acting in such
haste, unless they want the fair name
OF Tennessee dragged down in shame
and disgrace. Tennessee never
needed good credit so much as just
now, Our present financial distress
comes mostly from bad legislation
and the agitation Of the doctrine Of
Reputation by demagognes-office
seekers who always coin sweet
sounding sentiments for tax. payers
and know how to appeal to preju-
dice against capital. The loss of
credit has brought reproach upon
the State, just as it would affect an
individual, and paralyzed all public
enterprise. The laboring class are
the real sufferers because the result
affects the demand andlprice of Ia
Dor. This class of people never
study financial problems they rath-
-er look to the average politician to
do their thinking, and he finds it
easy to appeal to prejudice in sad
ding the blame upon capital. Good
credit makes money easy and stimu-
lates enterprise and speculation
which are sure to give remunera-
ton to labor. The people as mass
are honest and would never sane
ton any thing looking TO repudia-
ton. if not led on by designing
Office seekers. We may expect the
regulators to harangue the people,
appealing for an endorsement of
their acts and views, and it behooves
good men who would protect the
honor and prosperity of the State to
go to work. B4
T Tennessee should not be placed
in the humiliating attitude of de-
.manding more liberal terms from
creditors. 1t is altogether a mat
ter ofhonor and justice with the
State whether we pay the debt, and
Tennessee will hardly be excused

TILDEN WATTS raEE Issue.
No Suit TO be Cemmencea at
Present---The CONTINGENCIES
ON Which Future Action
Especial to the Baltimore Gazette


Washipgten, Apfil 2. -The South
carolina excitement was succeeded
to daY ia political circles By the
ominous rumor that the papers in
the Tilden Hay quo eo611stato suit
were already prepared and actually
in the hands OF Mr.. ROT. Merriek,
who was waiting only tin the South
Carolina question was settled before
going ahead and serving notice on
the defendant. The mat ter was re-
lated with great circumstances. One
prominent Democrat insinuated thai
the suit would be brought immedi-
ately after the Supreme Court of
Florida had decided the case in quo
soa,Tanto. which is now pending on
appeal. The case from the Tilden
standpoint would then be practically
invulnerable, as the court is compos-
ed of a majority of Republicans,
and the United States Supreme
Court almost invariably accepts the
decisions of local supreme courts as
final in all questions of State law.
The rumor found ready listeners
among the carpet-baggers. who have
become disguised with the present
policy, and are down on the whole
Administration. and below the sur
face they evidently harbored desire
to have the law begin on the man
who goes back on the carpet-baggers.
Your correspondent had talk with
Mr.. Merrick in relation to those
reports. He said very emphatically
that he had no papers. no instrnc-
tions. no information of any kind on
the subject and also remarked that
If such proceedings were seriously
thought of at the present time he
would be certain to know Of them. as
he had been of Democratic counsel
before the Electoral Commission.
In reply to the question whether
there was any probability that Mr..
Tilden would take such steps, Mr..
Merrick said: IT can only say on
that subject that so long as Mr..
Hayes although fraudnlently seated
in the Presidency. administers his
office according TO the Constitution
AMI the clearly expressed demands
of the people, | think no we'll mean
ing citizen would care to disturb him
in his tenure. The country wants
rest, but it wants justice. too; and
if Mr.. Hayes does not remove the
troops within a reasonable time from
both the Southern States, and res
tore them to home rule. aud prosperi-
ty, you may look for some such
movement on the part of the Demo
cracy.' He admittedthe possibility
of the other side placing endless
distractions in the way of reaching
verdict in quo aodTranto proceed
ings of such magnitude, and was
evidently of the opinion that no such
steps would be resorted to by Gov
ernor Tilden except in the cohtin-
gency mentioned. when the constith-
ton and the whole country would
be at his back. A'. : 1e.'' {.
