Not the Right sort OF EIOaueuce.

Governor Bate, of Tennessee, is re
ported to have "spoken eloqueutly,' -
before the Southern Immigration society
now in session at Nashville, of the re.
sources Of Tennessee, and tohave called
upon the North to help develop them.
1t is unfortunate for the weight of Gov,
ern0r Bates eloquent words that his
deeds,an those of ,hepeople who eleclt d
him, do not sustain the proclamation of
the vast resources of Tennessee or lend
encouragement to Northern ambition t.
help their development. Tennessee has
been generally understood to be
rich In her resources, and IL her
peoples acts had lent support to this
impression, 1t would have been very
well for the best interests OF the state.
But the Legislature and governor of
Tennessee, prompted by majority of
its voters, have labored zealously and
effectively to create the belief that the
supposed resources OF the state are not at
all what they have been imagined to be
The state has resolved that it will only
pay small part of its public
debt, because it cannot afford TO
pay Inc whole OF It. The whole amounts
TO only about twenty five million dollars,
which is very small sum for state to
bear which has the resources of which
Governor Bate eloquently speaks. 1t
would be a moderate debt for even q

her debt by her offer to Pay half of it

Virginia Father Beaten In the Race GO the
ministsr's

virginia Father beaten In the Race 60 tho
miniftsr's.
One of the most exciting elopemeuts
that has happened in Virginia for years
past was that of Miss Hattie Carter and
Henry Smith, aged respectively 1S and 81
years. The parents Of both resided in Ac
comac county. Miss Carter's father was
bitterly opposed to the attentions of young
Smith TO his daughter. On Tuesday Henry
met Hattie near her home. The couple
got into buggy, which was IN readiness,
aud started to drive to a minister's hous sc
to be married. Mr. Carter got wind of it
and hastily preparing another team drove
after the elopers. Smith and the young
lady had over mile start of tho excited
parent For time the pursuer gained on
tho runaways. Seeing this Smith put the
whip to his horse and forced the animal
into gallop, After the parties had raced
in this manner for about eight miles the
trace OF Mr.. Carter's harness broke and
compelled him to stop 10 make repairs
This accident was improved by Smith and
enabled him and the lady to reach the
residence of Rev. Mr.. Crowley, by whom
they were married.
The distance-ten miles-was accomp.
lished in less than an hour and the reck-
less driving of both parties created quite
an excltement among those who witnessed
1t. Many drove after the couple and con :
graduated them upon their success. After
the marriage Smith and his bride boarded
the steamer Maggie at Hoffmau's wharf
and went to Baltimore. Negotiations for
a reconciliation are now In progress.

Indictment.
Lawyer Cook continued his testimony
before the Springer committee, and said
he considered tho police court proceeding

charged s., 600 entirely unnecessary. The
witness thought the great length of the
trials due TO what he termed conglom.
Grated indictments" drawn by one "Wil

Mr.. Cook thought the governments case
was much delayed by the absence of coun.
sci, Mr.. Bliss being in New York
frequently attending to his own private
law practice, and yet he charged for his
travelling expenses, washing, etc. Witness
thought Colonel Bliss charges were out
rageous, and ho was Of opinion that SEQ 900
would have been ample remuneration. He
thought Mr.. Bliss was but an ordinary
lawyer, and owed his prominence in this
case, az we'll as his appointment, to his
personal Intimacy with President Arthur.
Mr.. Gibson was recalled, aud stated
that after he left the government employ
Mr.. j. w. Bosler employed him as coun-
sci, and gave him s2, 500 for preventing
Bosler's indictment with the Star Route

A passage at arms occurred last weeE
between General Wallace and tho Grant
Vizier. Acting under instructions from
Washington, General Wallace has I.tely
been pressing the Porte very hard for 4
settlement of the petroleum question and
American claims generally. The Grand
vizler, ifritated at such persistency, re-
fused TO receive Minister Wallace when
the latter sought an audience for the
special purpose of demanding some officia
answer TO his various long sta"d'ng de-
msnds, pleading an engagement on impor

An angry official 90 respopdenoo ensued.
in which tho pretension was advanced that

proach the Grand Vizier at ali times as
ambassadors possess. Said Paoha has
expressed an intention TO ask for General
Wallace's resall. Such proceedipg,
however, isvery improbable. The Porte

tinues on vsry friendly terms.
