fact that John G. Thompson,
who has been singing mud
ut some Of the Republican State officials
ior drawing few dollars out OF the State
Treasury to pay their expenses ut the Gar

Treasury SS,245 Al upon the theory that he

This resolution was presented early in

SMALLPOX.

We have received the following
letter from D. w. NJ. Clark, secretary
of the State Board of Health, to
which we call special attention
TENNESSEE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH,
NASHVILLE, January p, 1882.
Mr. EDITOR: From newspapers, 1
learn that smallpox exists in Knox
County, at town called Graveston.
The State Board of Health of Ten
nessee requires report of such in
fictitious diseases as small>pox and
yellow fever, and the laws Of the
State impose a penalty of $500 or
Imprisonment, or both, for the. failure
to report, Immediately, the first case
of any such diseases. And yet no
report has been made to this office,
though many cases have occurred, as
well as several deaths. I am sure
this failure to report is due to ignor
ance of the law, and not to any in
tention of violating it, and
hence shall take no steps
for past delinquencies, but will
not promise for the future not to do
so. It is matter of the gravest
consequence to the citizens, and in
failing to report they assume q heavy

THE IRON TRADE.

Bradstreets, for Saturday, has the
following on the iron trade:
Late advices from leading iron
manufacturing and distributing cen
tres east and west show the general
situation to be exceptionally strong
and markets buoyant. So far, the
absence of an ordinary reserve of
stocks has not been felt for two rea-
sons: First, January needs were an
ticipated in December; and, second,
the winter demand has not arrived,
As to pig iron, it is only in exception
al instances that provision is made
for wants beyond March L. Nego-
tiations are now in progress for re-
newals and extensions OF contracts.
Prices are 81 higher than during
November and December. High
grades are completely absorbed, and
the quantity of low grade iron avail
able is very small. There is more
willingness to sell foundry at current
quotations for future delivery than
gray forge, as the demand for the lat
Ter is in excess of estimated produce
ton. The improvement in fur
mace construction and manage
ment is materially adding to
the output. Numerous instances
are at hand where an increased out
put of Is per cent. has been recently
obtained. There is q more general
overhauling of furnaces to increase
the output, and the industry looks
to this source IS the largest factor OF
increased supply. English and
Scotch iron have advanced, and inn
ports are meagre. Foreign quota
tons remain high under steady de-
mand Ocean tonnage for the first
quarter will not be sufficient to meet
the necessities of the iron trade
Tonnage has been engaged for large
ore supplies. Large shipments Of
steel blooms, steel rails and Besse-
mer pig have been arranged for to
compensate for the deficiency on this
side. Railroad requirements which
must be met between April and Sep
TENDER must be met abroad Com
cessions are extended on require
ments, which can be postponed te
suit the convenience of American
rail manufacturers. In consequence
of the oversold condition of Amer
can mills, there is fresh movement
of inquiry abroad. The recent
treasury decision removes one OBJ

PROFESSIONAL sTUMPINe.
Suit for Job Lot Of Stumps Valued at
Over q Thousand Dollars.

,
Mr.. William D Murphy, of Albany,
was in the fall Of 1881 an active
stump speaker in the various cities
of the State of Indiana, in favor of
the Democratic presidential ticket,
on which the name OF ex Gov. Wal,
liam III. English, of that State,
appeared as vice. President.
Mr.. Murphy claims that Mr.. English
agreed to pay him for his services
and to reimburse him for
money expended for his ex-
penses, and has brought a suit
against Mr.. English in the Supreme
Court, in New York, to recover bal
ance of $1,1S0 alleged to be due him.
The claim includes 81, 900 as the val
ue of the plaintiffs speeches, and
$500 paid out for expenses,
on account of which defend
ant has paid but 800. In Supreme
Court chambers, NJ. A. Gearon, as
counsel for the pla ntif, applied to
Judge Barrett for writ OF attach
ment against the property Of the de-
PENDANT in New York, on the allega-
ton that defendant was not res
ident of the State, but had property
therein liable on execution. The
Judge granted the writ, which will
| be served by the sheriff on the
financial correspondents Of Mr..
English in New York. MIR. English
has furnished the Indianapolis
Journal with the following state
ment:
81 am not aware of owning any
property in New York and have
never been served with any notice of
any such legal proceeding. L am
not aware of owing Murphy any
thing, but I will certainly be able to
pay it when the claim is shown to be
valid. Whatever [ may have had to
do with Murphy was as chairman OF
the Democratic State committee, and
in no other capacity. There was a
man of that name here who made
some very unsatisfactory speeches
during the campaign, but his ex-
penses were paid at the time, if !
am not mistaken. Subsequently, |
believe, he did some work for Sena
tor Mcdonald and Mr.. Barnum, chair
men of the national committee, but
what the nature of it was l do not
know. I have no doubt he was fully
paid by these gentlemen. l am IN
no way responsible for it. | do not
intend hereafter to be bled by politi-
cal adventures or dead beats of either
high or low degree"

responsibility; whereas if they do
report, any future extension of the
disease would restore the State Board.
There is another thing, incumbent
on the County Courts, which is not
generally known. In case of an cpl
demic Of smallpox the expense of
providing pest houses, physicians,
isolating exposed persons, and in
short, all extraordinary measures,
expenses connected with its sup
preston are to be paid by the
County Court, and in the absence or
intervals of County Court meeting,
by the chairman. I write this letter
to your widely read paper that per :
sons may know their duty in con
nection with this matter and perform
it. Respectfully,
w. nj. CLARK, M. D.,
Sec'y State Board of Health.
It is unnecessary for us to dwell
upon the Importance OF strict OBJ
servance of the law in this case.
Smallpox has not been so prevslent
in this country for many years, and
organized effort is required to pres
vent it from spreading. Physicians
cannot too strictly observe the re-
auirements of the State board OF
health in making these reports and
giving information required in sue
cessfully combating this loathsome
disease.

"THE Republicans held con
vention at the courthouse to-
night, which broke up in a row.
A motion was made to strike a col
ored man from the county executive
committee, because he is working to
secure the election of r. S. Payne,
the Democratic candidate for mayor
He was expelled, but took with him
a majority of the negroes in the con-
vention"
The foregoing appears in the
Nashville American of last Saturday
morning as special dispatch from
Knoxville. Every material state
ment made in the dispatch is down
right, unmitigated falsehood. No
Republican convention was held
Friday night at the courthouse, or
at any other place in Knoxville. The
Republican county committee held a
meeting on Friday but no one was
expelled. It is true that such a motion
was made, but the chairman de-
clared it was out of order, and no
action was taken. No one, white Or
colored, withdrew from the commits
tee. The dispath is lie made of
whole cloth, and whoever sent it
knew that he was sending a lie.

VACCINAT1NG PRIMA DONNAS.
Various Ways in which Members of
an Opera Troupe were In0culated.
Philadelphia Press


You must bare your arm, Miss
Juch assure you it will not hurt
you in the least; q little tingling
sensation and ali is over"
A well known physician of this
city was very busy, yesterday, with
various members of Her Majesty's
Opera Company. The fear of small
pox was rampant in the breasts of
prima donnas and tenors, bassos
and chorus, and even the gallant
manager and his brawny son were
waiting their turn in the green-room
of the Academy of Music for inocu-
lation with the safety-giving virus.
Sc I can not allow you to distigure
my arms, monsieur was Mile Juch's
exclamation, as she drew back with
prettily-feigned horror from the
doctor. How can I look pretty on
the stage if you put those great
ugly scars on me; no, | will not
have ii"
"But, mademoiselle, consider the
risk; smallpox could disfgure you
altogether.
"Bah! Perhaps but nevertheless
you shall not spoil my arm. Ii you
insist on vaccinating newell, you
must do it on place where it will
not be SEEN"
The doctor argued, but in vain,
and finally the fair soprano suggested
that the incubation should be made
on one of the main supports of her
body, when in an attitude of prayer,
the portion of the right lower limb
known to the student Of anatomy by
the Latin name of synobus. Plainly
she would be vaccinated in one knee.
To this the physician, after some de-
muir, consented, and the operation
was performed "Now, if it swelis, y
said the prima donna, as the medical
man bowed himself out of her press
ence, " I will hate you for always
Each member OF the opera troupe,
while anxious to be insured against
the dread disease, had his or her
theory as to how the lymph should
be applied to their bodies. Several
were willing to allow their arms to
be punctured; the majority, however,
especially those of the fair sex, in,
sisted on being vaccinated on the
least conspicuous part of their per-
sons. The knee, the calf of the leg,
the wrist, the foot, and even the back
of the neck had its advocates, and
general commiseration and condo
lence is the order of the day. Del,
Puepte was one of the wrist chooser,
and eight of the ladies of the com
pany barred lower limb for the wound
of the tiny lancet. d
