The warm, delightful, ETHEREAL spring
weather is already reminding us towr
folks, and those who think there is nc
comfort at home during the heated
term, of their annual visits to the
country and to the watering places. TIC
the imaginative it is delightful to con.
template the green fields, the bubbling
springs, the ripping rills, the pure milk
and genuine butter, the glorious COM
forts of a life in the country during the
swelter of summer time. Bosh! How
many of us know all this to be a fleet
ing show--a huge, - as Pete Akers
beautifully expresses it-'a gigantic
delusion;" because it is our firm con-
Yiction from observation in many Sec
tions of our great and glorious land that
the majority OF our country cousins do
not live half as comfortably as us town
fellows, not because they are not able
to do so, but simply because of their
positive and persistent and utter disre-
gard of what constitutes comfort. We
shall not particulariZe; but it is not
everywhere, even in the glorious, sylvan
country, that you will find yourself free

Chattanooga Times Governor
Marks has abandoned his new-faugled
notion of ''sifting," "discrimina
ton and "classifying" the debt of
the State, and submitted a pro,
gramme to the Legislature. which
savors somewhat of " business" and
has slight ring of business sense.
While his message has decided tone
of putting the State in the attitude
eff huxstering and dickering, it is so
a step in the right direction. that it
will be hailed by those favorable to
the preservation of the States hon.
or and the settlement of question
which is confusing and running bust.
ness, as at least an omen of return
ing reason, if not a CLEAN of some
thing akin to craftsmanship. The
Governor has felt the overwhelming
pressure of public opinion adverse
to his untenable and absurd message.
He has perceived the general disgust
excited by the report of his cut-and-
dried star-chamber Committee, and
like a shrewd politician be tacks his
craft to catch the popular breeze.
And although he has not gone as
far nor been as frank as he ought,
in repudiating his mischievous mes
sage, we may reasonably hope that
in due season he will become a fair
advocate of such an adjustment as
will not dishonor the commonwealth
over which he presides.

Kingston Haa0keye: Gov. Marks,
in a very extraordinary Special Mes
sage, just sent to the Legislature,
announces that the railroads are
willing to. waive their exemption
privileges. and pay ouch taxes as
that body may impose, in order to
insure a speedy adjustment of the
debt question,-provided, however,
the rate of taxation is not to exceed
40 cents. And, then, evidently
fearing that the Legislature would
act at once upon this liberal propo
sitioD of the railroads, and provide
for an honorable settlement, Mr..
Marks proceeds to dictate to his
lawmakers what action they must
take in order to meet with his ap-
proval-insisting mainly upon a sub.
mission to the people.

LRGL8LATTE SUMMARY.

Special to the Chronicle: In the
Senate, on the goth, a bill to settle

passed third reading.
A good deal Of surprise was man
ifested to-day at the resignation Of
Mr.. Snodgrass. Yesterday evening
he desired spread on the Journal a
paper explanatory of a paper pre-
viously presented, and from which
the words supplementary report"
had been eliminated, aud criticising
the ruling of the Chair. This was
ruled out of order by ths Chair, and
was sustained. He then sent to the
Clerk protest against the ruling
of the Chair, which the Speaker de-
clared out of order, on the ground
that the House, having sustained his
ruling, it had gone out of the prov
ince of the Speaker. but if he wished
to enter a general diScrediter protest
against the House, he could do Sc.
An appeal was taken from the Chair s
decision, and the Speakers ruling
was sustained by vote of SO to 10.
M. SDodgrass. soon after. left the
House and presented his resignation
to the Governor.
In the Senate, on the 22d, a bill
to make the Governor, Secretary of

than forty cents on the dollar, pass
ed its third reading.
The resolution providing for caus-
ing vacancies in the Board of Trus-
tees, and appointing Board of Wis
itors TO the University of Tennessee,
was adopted.
In the House the Senate bills to
provide for better system for keep
ing public roads in good repair, and
to appoint commissioners, were re-
jected for want of a Constitutional
majority. Senate bill to repeal the
Funding Act of 1873 finally passed.
The following dispatch was read
in the Senate on the 21st, creating a
sensation, and especially among the
low credit men:
NEW YORK, March 21.-Speakef of
the Senate: Please read to the Senate of
Tennessee this our protest against the
that a compromise with the
creditors of Tennessee can be effected
at fifty cents on the dollar. No offer of
settlement other than the Coe award,
modified only as to the rate of interest
say four per cent. for four years-can
be carried with the bonders at commit |
tee meeting.
EUGENE KELLY, Chairman.
The Coe award, it will be remem.
oered, was sixty cents on the dollar
and six per cent. interest.

PENDANT. Witnesses were introduced,

Some of the Northern Methodist
papers are not pleased with the idea
of a solid South" Really they
are schismatics. They would pro-
mote division, if they could. Do
they not know that in the union
there is strength? Ought not breth-
eren to dwell together in unity?
Why should they be divided !?

Mr.. Sam'l Walker passed through
our town last Saturday, on his return
from the blue grass country of Ken
lucky, with a fine drove of mules
which he had purchased for the pur.
pose of grazing this summer at his
home on French Broad river, in JEFF.
ferson county. The lively demand
in our community fer mules during
the last few months has awakened q
lively interest among our farmers for
this kind of stock.

A MERTTED HONOR.

Col. John G. Burch. of the Nash
vile american, was elected to the
important and honorable position OF
Secretary Of the u. S. Senate on the
5th ballot in caucus. The vote stood
for Burch "a, Watterson, of Ken
lucky, Is, Stenger, of Pa, 1, Frank
lin, of Mo-, 2. This is without ex-
ception the most important position
in the gift of either house of Con.
gress. The election of Col. Burch
to the place is a compliment to the
South-a compliment especially to
Tennessee-and a fitting reward for
tie lifelong and important service
rendered to his party by Col. Burch
in the State and in the whole coun-
try. While this is all true, it is also
true that Col. Burch is eminently
qualified to fill with honor to himself
the important position. No man
could have been found with d more
varied fund Of such information as
is needed by a Secretary of the Sen,
ate. A distinguished lawyer, he has
at the same time had a large expe-
rience in legislative affairs. As
Comptroller of the Treasury no State
ever had a more clear headed, hon.
est and efficient officer; and in all
the walks of life he has shown him.
self worthy the confidence and es-
TEEN of his countrymen. 1t gives
us real pleasure to chronicle the fact
of his election,
