The Resfeu md Journal.


The Ressew ind Journal, a.
newspaper published at Franklin,
this State, and which opposed
the SOD settlement now, says
that it has received a letter frem
e distinguished man in this State,
in which he says that one news
paper in this State received $780,
600 during the recent canvass.
He also says in the same letter,
according to the ReUieav and
Journal, that the small lawyers
who advocated the compromise
We're paid and that other neMspa-
pers besides the $4,000 one
were paid lesser sums, These
are grave charges to be made by
a distinguished man. Whyldoes
he not give the world his name?
Whyldocs he not tell what news
paper It was? Does he know of
any man being paid to advocate
the 50-4 proposition? If not,
why does he make such charges?
Give us the iname of your cor
respondent, MIR. Remeao and
journal, and venture the as
'sertion that we prove his charges
false. He viii not LET his name
be known and he viii not say
what paper he alludes to as hav-
ing received $4,000. Just such
charges as these, improved and
unreliable, are what has corrup-
ted the public mind IN many
parts of the State. If money
has been corruptly used in the
late election letus know bywhom,
and we will condemnit as much
rs any one, but mean, malicious
and slandereus insinuations are
to be despised by every honora-
bic man. 1t will not do to. let
these things go mnoticed,y be-
cause honest men may be de-
ceiyed by ,them.Id aal.i5yssa

Disinfecting by Steam.
Memphis Avalanche.

An experiment was made yes
terday with a steam disinfecting
apparatus by the Superintendent
Of Quarantine. The disinfection
of houses and bedding by steam
has been recommended by the
highest authority. There was
some defect in the machine that
generated the steam and the ex-
pertinent was not so satisfactory
as anticipated. But the disin-
fecting qualities of the steam
were apparent. With a more
perfect generator the steaming
business win prove a success.
As all disinfectants have proved
failures heretofore, it is crafty
ing to see a sure disinfectant in
the dim distance.

NE Gen. John 3. Hood died
in New Orleans last Saturday of
yellow fever. During the week
preceding his wife and one child
died. He married eleven years
ago, and had twelve children,
several of them twins. His fam
lily is left in a state of extreme
poverty. Having implicit faith
in the integrity Of Louisiana, be
invested his whole fortune in the
bonds of that.State, and the viI-
tual reputation of the State debt
reduced them to beggary.

DE- 1t is given as a reason
byfsome of those who who voted
against the compromise that they
wanted to avoid the expense Of
an extra session of the Legisla-
ture. An extra session would
not in any probability have ex-
tended over a greater length of
time than twenty days, and at a
cost of $1,000 per day would
have amounted to $4,000. The
Indebtedness is increased by ac-
cruing interest ut the rate of
1000, which will in eighteen
months amount to $2,160,0OO.

There will be no prosperity in
Tcnnr-eee, and times will contin-
nc hard until the State debt is
settled. Why? Because all
that Tennessee needs is the IN
PRODUCTION Of capital to give en-
ployment to the people, and put
money in their pockets, and cap
iital is waiting TO come, but Will
not come to a State that repudi-
ates her obligations. The rich
man can stand the hard times,
hut the poor men cannot. The
poor man is more interested in
the settlement of our State debt

Washington Letter.

washington Letter.
Special Correspondence Of tie .OBsEEyRR
WAsHiSGTos, D. G., August 2Sth, 1873.
From n seTni-oflicial statement
appears that the Republican,
Congressional Committee did not
contribute any of the money re-
quired TO pay the expenses of
the criminal trial of the LOU
isiana Returning Board. Mr..
Hayes, as the greatest beDeficia-
ny Of the fraud, contributed$l 600
of the $1,750 already raised.
Other Federal officials, partakcrs
of the fruits Of the Boards yilz
lainy, made up the rest. There
is still quite a sum to be collect
ed. Unless Mr.. Hayes shall put
forth new civil service order
forbidding it, the government
clerks will be assessed for the a.
mount. M 5aeh
In connection with this dis
graceful subject it has been as
celtained that Anderson Of the
Board, besides holding Office
himself, has seven members Of
his family employed by govern
mcut: Wells, also himself in Of
fee, four; Kenner, also himself
in office, four.
The Board Of Officers author
lied to inquire into the sentence
Of Surgeon-General w. A. Ham
mond, cashiercd in-1S62, has re-
ported. The Secretary Of War
recommends that the sentence be
annuIled and set aside, and that
Hammond be placed upon the re-
tired list without pay. This re-
suit and the vindication in the
Fitz John Porter case, the only
two court-martial sentences IN
ycstigatcd by authority of Con-
gress, would seem to show that
this mode Of trial was very de-
feciive. Now, the question ari-
ses whether or not the Govern
ment may not properly establish
a Board of Officers with author
lty to inquire into the facts and
conclusions in any Of the volun-
teer courts-martial whenever the
sentenced party shall demand
such inquiry. The expense would
be light, and doubtless hundreds
who now have dishonorable rec
ords at the War Office would be
able to vindicate themselves. at
present they cannot do so. |
trust that some Senator of the
eminence Of Judge Thurman on
Mr.. Bayard will suggest this
course at the next session of
Congress.
The n. Y. Tribune says the
"news from Maine continues to
be bright with the promise of
coming Republican victory and
that success is now assured. "
The Tribune made such great
statements as the above on the
eve of the election last year when
the result showed that Conner,
the Republican candidate for
Governor, lacked some fifteen
thousands votes of an election,
and the Democrats and Green
hackers had 20 majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature, which
shows that no reliance whatever
can be placed on what that pa
per says relating to the campaign
now gong on in that State. 1t al
so says "that 5000 Republicans
who voted the Greenback ticket
last year will return to their old
party this year," which state
ment has no foundation whatever,
and the Tribune we'll knows it
neither that paper nor the Re
publican State Committee of
Maine can give the names of
even two hundred Republicans
who voted the Greenback ticket
last year that will vote the be-
publican ticket this year!

Now this is the unkindcst cut of all

And the idea Of Maj. Harper being

PORPHET CROLY.

In 1873, Mr.. David &. Croly, of NJ
York, formerly managing editor of
the New York World. ami afterwards
of the graphic, published some predlc-
I ous in regard TO cvcnt> of 1873 which
afterwards gained great notoriet!
from the fact that he turctold the col
lapse of the Northern Pacific railroad
and the panic in the fall Of that year
which he certainly did. MIR. Croly has
tried his hand att again. and here are
his predictions as summarized III the
New York Garphic:
|. The year 1879 will, on the whole,
be Il prosperous II for the tnltcd
stat :. There will be II general Hcvl-
val otinduotry labor will be employed,
and confidence in the future UNIVERSAL
Is felt. Before the close OF the year
there will be II widespread intcre>t. in
prrciOu, metal mining. y dangerous
speculative feeling in other Industries
will soon show itself.
>. There will be- q partial failure OF
rrups this year. Cur hay crop on the
Atlantic Slope will be short.
3. At least two important failures OF
Wall street magnatcs, will take place
this wear. They will be persons with
whose names every one is familiar.
/. An unsupported weakness i'll our
national banking system may be devrl-
oped during the year.
D. The diSproportion between our
exports and imports, such rs we have
witnessed for the past two years, Will
come to an end before 1881. Home
prices will go higher and foreign arti-
Giles will be sold cheaper. We shall
export less and import more. Unless
the unexpected occurs, there will be II
ADRIAN of gold abroad, and then re-
sumption, us ut present establlsllrd,
must be legislatrd upon anew or 1t will
fail.
s.. Should the country be prosper
on, and resumption stand until the ma
tional convention meet in 1880, John
sherman will be the candidate OF the
Republican party for the presidency.
Z. Resumption has not settled al
our ii lancial ditlicnlticS. Questions
affecting the bu-incs interest of the
country will be the subject of many
warm political contest. But the tina
result will be the establishment of t
nltionaI bank similar to that of Grca.
