The Black Oak Ridge Work.

Col. r. Ross, who has charge of the work
on the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, at the
Black Oak Ridge, five miles from Knoxville,
was IN the city and made the CHRONICLE a
call yesterday. Col. Ross commenced the
work Monday morning, with about thirty
hands, but was only able to get in one full
day'swork, and is now waiting on the weather.
The work is to straighten and improve the
line of this road at that point, and viii re-
quire some six or eight months, perhaps, to
complete it. Col. Ross, who is new resi-

was formerly wel-known resident of our
city, an old hotel man, and formerly kept

or currency, and the South would
divide as quick as the North would,
and without regard to color line.
Mr.. Hoar, replying to Mr.. Brown S
speech, said that Mr.. Brown, upon
his election to the Senate, had taken
an advanced position on the subject
of obeying the Constitution, which
every public officer in the Southern
States had taken his oath to support.
That was commentary on the state
ment that there was free vote in
the South.
MIR. Brown suggested that in
Massachusetts,, the class of people in
whose control it was proposed to
place Virginia, would not be allowed
to vote. While the Senators from
Massachusetts, lectured everybody
else on the subject of suffrage and
right to vote they did not practice it
in their own State.
A running and good-humored dis
cussion ensued between Messrs.
Hoar and Brown, which was kept up
until Mr.. Brown, misunderstanding
statement made by Mr.. -Hoar and
misquoting it, was excitedly interro
gated by Mr.. Hoar as to whether he
implied that he (Hoar) had said what
was not true.
Mr.. Brown denied any intention
Of misstating the Senator's remarks,
and good humor was restored by
Mr.. Beck's simulated fear that the
Senate would loose both Senators
from Georgia,
The Senate soon afterward ad-
journed until Monday.

Reduction in Pay of Storekeepers and
GaugeFS.


Gaugers.
We are informed by Chief Clerk J. A.
Greer letter has been received at the
Office of Col. J. NJ. Melton, United States
internal revenue collector; from Commis-
sioner Raum, bringing information of a
reduction IN the compensation of store
keepers and gaugers in the revenue service,
which is to take place the 1st of May. The
reduction is required" says the commits
sioner, "by the general necessity which
exists for curtailing the expenses of the ser
vice and also by the disparity apparent be-
tween the amount of labor required of these
officers and the pay received
Their pay is consequently fixed, when on
duty at distilleries having surveyed daily
capacity of not exceeding five bushels of
grain per day, at two dollars per diem, and
at three dollars per diem when assigned to
distilleries having and commonly using a
capacity exceeding five and not exceeding
twenty bushels. The pay heretofore has
been uniformly 81 per day. In this dis
trict there are between 25 and 80 men en-
ployed in this business and under the new
arrangement they will be divided about half
and half between the 81 and So classes.

The Saginaw Herald says that
"the public debt of the United
States is being pushed to extinction
at rate which would dispose of the
whole-supposing the amount of
interest saved to be also added to
annual reduction-in 16 or 2S years.
This disposition of heavy fiscal La
bilities is a new spectacle in human
history, at least on a scale like that
at the present carried on in this
country, and is one of two or three
leading facts in American develops
ment which have greatly changed
the estimation in which the United
States is held by other nations
