The Tendency OF Political Power,
From the N. Y. World.

T IOiu LLc M L = WOTlu.
Our rather stalwart contemporary, the
Times, devoted leading article yesterday
to the subject of "The Tendency of Po-
litical Power" Its contention is that an
important change will be brought about
in the relative Importance of sections as
represented in the National Congress by
the census Of 1880, and its conclusion is
that the sceptre Is evidently departing
from ''the solid Democratic South" The
Times assumes that if the basis of appor-
tionment remains the same the South
tives, while Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wis
consin, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Mime
sofa and Nevada will add to their seventy
three members at least forty-eight more.
Precisely why the Times should include
in one or the other of these schedules all
the. States which touch upon Democratic
Indiana, but not Democratic Indiana it
self, we cannot say, any more than we
can explain why it goes so far West as to
take in Nevada but on the way omits
Colorado, which even if it is a new State
is State, and growing State too. But
let us take the figures as we find them.
In 1872, We are told, these States cast
1877 ,035 votes, the increase in popula-
tion since 1877 having been offset by the
lightness of the vote of 1772. In 1915
they cast 1908, ,436, an increase in round
numbers Of one-third. The movement
of population being assumed as still
more active since 1875 it is assumed that
1880 will show new gain of at least one
third. This reads very neatly, but the
Times overlooks one important fact. In
seven of the nine States it mentions cen.
suses have been taken since 1870, with
the following results:

BALTIMORE is the champion city of
America for the manufacture of cheap
jellies. 1t is well understood that the
jelly is an animal rather than vegeta-
BILE product, being simply gelatine, col
ored and favored according to the fruit
that is to be represented. Boston jelly
is chiefly made of apples, also favored
and colored in imitation of other fruits,
and the imposition is discovered by very
few. 1t costs fourteen cents pound,
which is but about half what the genu-
inc fruits represented can be supplied
for. Boston is also great raspberry
jam mart, and the eight firms manufac-
turing 1t produce an aggregate of five
hundred tons year. 1t sells at eigh-
teen cents a pound, and is made from
the dried raspberries. Ft3 siff-

.g4 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dee. 18th.
The holding of a caucus by the Low
tax Democrats at the Commercial
Hotel last night has created great
deal of talk to-day. The proposition
was submitted to petition the Gov
ernor to call an extra session of the
Legislature to pass law levying taxes
with which to pay the interest on
dollar for dollar of the Agricultural,
Hermitage and Capital bonds, amount
ing to two million one hundred and
five thousand dollars. Il is asserted
that the proposition was finally with
drawn, the meeting agreeing to leave
the matter TO The Governor, should he
desire to call special session for that
purpose. r,.ra els .c.a
Mr.. Gregg, of Sullivan, who is re-
garded as Gov. Marks right-hand
bower, is reported to have been the
leader of the meeting and the person
who presented the proposition, aud it
is regarded as an effort on the part OF
the "low tax" men to heal the appa-
rent breach between them and the
State-credit Democrats. The '.low-tax''
men assert that the proposition has
fallen through. Nothing was said in
the caucus regarding the great bulk OF
the State debt.

Lovers of good music in Knoxville
are highly elated at the prospect OF
such rare treat as will be given them
on the night of Jan. 8, 1880, in the
appearance Of the Kate Thayer Con-
cert Company. This company, as now
organized, constitutes a most brilliant
galaxy of musical stars, all of un-
rivaled splendor, and it will be such a
treat as Knoxville has never before
enjoye ed.
There is the celebrated Tagliopetro,
who was here with the Brignoli
italian Opera, and who has not an
equal on the continent as a baritone.
And other vocal celebrities of unsur-
passed merit. Then they have the
famous Brooklyn cornetist, Arbuckle,
aud Nine. Carreno. pianist, who made
such an enviable reputation when
travelling with Wilhelmj, the violinist,
last season. It will pay to listen to
this kind of music.

over two months, many witnesses
being examined and evidence sub
mitted to the President Hayes. It
was only on Friday last made pub
lie, that the President, after care
full investigation Of the evidence,
was satisfied there was no sufficient
reason for Tyler's removal on &C
count of his conduct, either official
or personal. rsgzI a2 .te7foT
