STATUS OF THE SIGNAL CoRPs-Thc
legal status Of the Signal Corps has long
been disputed question in army circles
Gen. Hazen, chief signal officer, contended
that the corps was an integral part of the
army, and subject to the same rules and
requirements. Gen. Sherman and other
high officers took a contrary view, and it
was agreed many months ago to refer the
question to the Attorney General for settle
ment. The Acknowledgement rendered an
opinion in course OF time, and it was placed
in the hands of the Secretary of War.
This was over four months ago, and the
Secretary has declined often and repeat
edly to give the opinion to the press, who
were particularly anxious to get it on ac-
count of the interest which the question
has excited. The opinion is still withheld,
but its contents are no longer secret, as it
Is known that the Attorney General sus-
tains in the strongest terms the ground
taken by the chief signal officer as against
that assumed by Gen. Sherman and others
II is understood, however, that Secretary
Lincoln does not propose to abide by the
opinion.

entirely satisfactory, and stating that there
could be no doubt of the usefulness of the
invention in hospitals, sick rooms or any
room where it is desired to regulate
the temperature. The apparatus is in a crude
state as yet, and its operation somewhat
expensive, but could be greatly reduced by
the introduction of certain improvements
suggested. The cost of running the ap-
paratus as at present constructed is about 81
an hour. The experiments proved that the
atmosphere in the Presidents room al

the relative humidity and dew point were
sustained within healthy limits; also, that

LEGISLATIVE.

Nashville has been lively during the
week, whiskey flowing freely and
money spent lavishly. Both branches
of theT,egislature adjourned on Friday
for two days and the Solons returned
home to ''cool off" and shake the anx-
iouS hands of their constituents. Mr..
T. c. Long OF Madison County was re-
elected Principal Clerk of the Senate
and Hon S. E. Cunningham of Cur
b,rland County Assistant Clerk. Mr.
Eliza s. Cook, of Williamson, was re
elected Engrossing Clerk and little JIM

Mr.. Bibb introduced bill to prevent
unjust discrimination against way
freight by railway companies. A bill!
repeating the act reducing the Govern
or's salary To SO, 900 passed. and the sal
AIRY was raised to $4,000. A bill wa

mics Two per cent on passenger earnings.
A resolution was adopted fixing
next Tuesday as the day for elec,ing a
L. S. Senator.
A bill was offered to compromise the
debt of Memphis at twenty-five cents
on the dollar.
A number of local option bills have
been presented, and it is evident that
there win be a lively contest.
A large number of bills on various
subjects were introduced, but not ma

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Our limited space forces us to
abridge the message, and we have on
ly room this week TO give the Govern
or's remarks on the State debt-the
subject now of such vital intcrst to
the people. 1t is very able state pa
per, and on most points meets with
the approval of good citizens. He
makes number of excellent sugges-
tions, recommending the emil rgemeni
or removal of the penitentiary and in
sane ASYLUM, re-districting the State
etc.
A bill was adopted by the General
Assembly at its last regular session pro-
viding for settlement of The State
debt. That bill was the result of mu
tull conces ions on the par of the d
holders, railroad companies and tic
State, and as adopted by the General
Assembly in spirit of compromise.
gave that bill my APPROVAL. Ny con-
victi. rs upon the subject have under
gone no change / still believe that a
settlement, to be fair, satisfactory and
permanent, should embody the com
promises and principles of that bill and
any settlement more burdensome upon
the people than the one proposed by it
will fail to command popular APPROX
al, which is The only sure rock upon
which public credit can be bnilt. \
roncessiou of the extraordinary de-
mands of the self constituted bondhO'd
ers' committee would, in my opinion.
involve the State in irretricvsble en-
barrassnents. The State mas no !cOme
except precarious and incousiderable
sum derived from the State Prison.
Whatever is paid upon the State debt,
aside from the amount contributed by
the railroad companies, must be by tax
alton. In the adjustment Of the debt
practical craftsmanship will recognize
that settlement of The debt, upon
the basis of the bill adopted at the
last session will require q e
payment of a larger annual sum
in proportion to the value of the
taxable property of the State than is
paid by taxation by any other State
in the Union upon its public debt; nor
will rhe fact be ignored that there is a
possibility, to say the least of it, that
the outstanding issue of the Bank of
Tennessee may became an embarrassing
charge upon the Treasury.

Health.

Health is one of the first laws OF ma
ture, and should be 80 considered by
every community; it is subject tina,
should interest every private citizen,
every corporation, every civic authority
The past severe winter with its deep
SHOWS and disagreeable weather, has un'
douItcdly caused greater negligence on
the part of our citizens in throwing out
their garbage, ashes and slops than they
otherwise would, and now, as warmer
weather is upon us and the heaps of ac'
cumulated garbage steam beneath the
rays of the sun, great caution should be
observed, by at once removing the un'
slightly piles and thus avoid tempting
disease and sickness. Remember the
old adagc that "a stitch in time saves
nine" and it is just as applicable now
rs ever. Under many houses the cellars
have been the repository of vegetables
all of which in every instance, have
necessarily undergone decomposition
These should be removed and the cellar
well cleaned, for il is from the cellars
that much of the miasma arises and
permeates the rooms above, causing
sickness and death.
