for a rebate Of the duty on salt imported by
them, which amounts to 10000 or 10000
pounds per annum and which they i'm.
mediatly send out OF the country again
packed in beef. Collector Smith referred
the matter to the Treasury Department
and to-day received decision refusing to
admit to the rebate as the Department
could find no section allowing It. It is
understood another efFert will bc made
to obtain favorable decision. The sub
tect Is OF interest TO the whole packing

NASHVILLE, August s. S.-Additional re-
turns indicate that the proposition to set
tie the debt at fifty cents on the dollar and
four per cent. interest will be rejected by
1900 majority. Party lines are not
regarded in the contest. Republicans in
the eastern part OF the State voted almost
solldly in favor Of the compromise, while
most Of those in the middle and western
sections went against it. The Democrats
also generally divided on the question.
Many men Of both parties voted for re-
lection on the ground that the proposition
was merely modified form Of repudlation.

Isl issue Of yesterday we gave the
figures contained in the reports OF Messrs.
lIeryey and Cummings, the enumerators
employed BY the Board of Education to
ascertain the number Of children ofschool
age in the city, and to make census OF
our municipal population. AT that time
wehad not the reports Of last year and the
year preceding within reach, and were
unable to make comparison full enough
to show the actual increase or decrease in
either the school enumeration or city pop
ulation during the past two years. We
have since found the figures for 1877 and
1873, and they show the total increase in
the present school enumeration to be los
over that OTIS, and G73 over that of'77.
The increase in the city population, as
shown by the reports, is 100 between July,
ISIS, and July, 1879, gain, that like Mer-
cutOs wound is not as deep as well or
as wide as barn door, but one that will
serve to show that the city is not retro
grading in the number Of her residents.
A comparison Of the reports OF this and
last year, by districts, would indicate at
first sight that the population of the city
is shifting northward. Thus, the dis
tricts south Of the creek show decrease
ofpopulation during the year Of 900, while
the districts north OF the creek exhibit n
gain Of 73S, almost the exact amount Of
loss sustained by the South Side, plus the
lIO increase in the whole city population.
Centre District loses 9l9, Webster $40, and
tie city portion of Ritchis, Il; while
Union gains 6S, Clay $40, Madison l5O
and Washington l55. 1t is more
than likely, however, that the
growth of the upper portion OF the
city is derived mainly from outside acces-
sions, while the depletion Of the lower
districts is occasioned by the partial stop
page OF the iron works in that section,
and the consequent removal OF consid-
eable number OF worklnen in search Of
other employment. The re-opening Of
the business OF the Belmont mill and fur
naces aud the revival OF other manutac-
turing interests in that section will doubt
less bring back these absentees. The fig
ures suggest soue further considerations,
but the margin is hardly large enough to
support any very extended computation
based upon them.

hams BOSOM" and the sure and awful re.
suit OF procrastinating ones spiritual in.
terest, illustrating the "rich man." also,
the potency OF Cllildren's influence, their
ability 70 help aud assist each other;"
children's duty to kind and beneficent
creator; the bliss and happiness The
young enjoy that have accepted Christ as
their Saviour.
After singing by the choir, Miss Russell
addressed. the audience on "The Worth
Of the knowledge Of Christ"
Sabbath evening Miss Russell addressed

ject Of Foreign Missions" The gist Of
her address was that alter certain periodso oi

Of, but the indications OF the present were
that the knowledge Of Christ and the
spread Of the gospel would be universal
and abiding. s'S''
After the address woman's Foreign
Missionary Society was organized.
To say the least, both of the lady's ad
dresses were good, and were we'll received
BY the audience, upon which they M
