The ski-pish and mean spirit that in the midst of the misfortunes of our neighbor city of Chattanooga, would seek to profit by thciu.deserves rebuke. Knoxville needs no such aids. e are sorry that any one should let his zeal so far surpass Ins judgment and sense of right as to permit himself, in the public prints, to call attention to and enlarge upon his neighbors losses to the end that he might profit by them Our citizens deeply deplore and sym pathise with the good people of Chat lanooga in their losses. Its citizens have shown a degree of enterprise, pluck, judgment and faith that are commendable. In a humorous way, it has been customary to allude to the city as liable to overflow, and the first day of the recent hard rains, before anticipating any serious results, we published in our local columns humor ous dispatches from that city : but to deal seriously with its misfortunes while they are yet upon the place is in wretched taste, and does not meet with the approbation of this community. In the Grajihk, of March 3, we find a tabulated statement of the city debt of New York, with the amount of taxes paid each year since 180.5. The rate of taxation in 1ST4 was $2.fc0 per $100 of taxable property, add the debt is $lH,979JC9.9il. The debt capita of the popula tion is $114.98. The total amount of taxable property in the city is put down at $1,154,029,117. The tax per head of the population last year was $32,31. This immense debt, the heaviest that rests upon any people in this country, is the legacy left by a corrupt ring which held power there for years, and which used all the appliances of Tammany Democracy, to manacle their victims. Iu speak ing of " tax ridden " people, the Dem ocratic politicians never look to New York. They cast their eyes in the direction of some State that has had a Republican administration, and with an assumed holy horror, descant with hypocritical compassion ujKm the woes of the people. Beware of such hypocrites, Their exterior ap pearance is fair enough, but inside they are full of rottenness. s A reporter of the Baltimore Sun has interviewed Bishop Wayman, of the African M. E. Church, on the sub ject of the Civil Rights Bill, and the course colored people will likely pur sue under it. The Bishop makes some sensible suggestions on the sub ject. The Sun says : " Bichop Wayman tuid '.be colore! peo ple have numerous churches and schools of their own io Baltimore, and, said he, -they have their own graveyards, too.' As to theatre? ar.il restaurant", the good Bishop did not care about tham at ail, but he knows the colored peoploare tio well accommoda ted with drinking places of their own, and they have very numerous public entertain- menu at tcores of halls all over the city Houses of public entertainment kept by re spectable colored people are as plenty as the needs of tbe population demand, and no disposition is manifested to interfere with the white people by respectable color ed people. Neither the Bishop nor Mr. Webb expressed any gratification at the passage of the bill, nor did they state any objection to it. Both were of opinion that the colored people could not be elevated in the social scale by h-gal Elatute, but must de pend upon their per.-oiial worth and en- deavor. They said that in a week, if the question was not agitate 1 by the white people, it would te forgotten in Baltimore that there was a civil rights bill. If any overt acts are undertaken by c .lored peo ple heie they would be by strangers or de igain politicians among the colored re.-i dents of the city."' Tiii:i:i: seems to have been si gener al rejoicing in Arkansas over the de feat of Congressman Ward's resolu tion to re-eontni'.-t. thai St ttte.

THE WHIG. In 160, Rkowni.ow'h Knoxyilix Whig, a weekly newspaper, had the largest circulation of any political pa per In Tennessee. About one thou sand weekly papers went to the State of Georgia, and were circulated in the usual way. Georgia was so pa triotic, so intent upon serving the in terests of the country, that the Officers of the law found it necessary to in dict the editor, and publisher of the Winn, and actually found a true bill against him for high crimes and mis demeanors. They actually passed a law punishing all postmasters with fine and imprisonment for handing out the paper to lawful subscribers, thus coming in conflict with the law of the Federal Government. The plea of State sovereignty, which they are so much attached to now, and are so fearful that Grant will overthrow, they do not now harp upon. The paper we now send iuto Geor gia, is the Knoxville With; ash CimoNit lk, and we presume they will let it go " scot free." At all events, if they are determined to keep the paper out of the State, they ought to convene an extra session of the Leg islature, and frame a new law to cov er the case. We- say to them, in no spirit of boasting, that subscribers are coming in upon us from the " Empire State of the South." and we expect, ere lonii, to have a fine list from that State. The cry of ' State sovereignty," which deceived the honest people of that State, will fail to cheat them a second time. We have no wish to deceive any man in Georgia who de sires to become a -subscriber to this paper, and, therefore, we state dis tinctly, that our principles shall be the same that they were in 18G0, only more so. We are still the advocate of a strong central government, 6uch as we have under Grant's administra tion. It works well in Arkansas and Louisiana. HON. HORACE MAYNARD. The nomination of lion. Horace Maynard, as Minister to Constanti nople, will be universally endorsed by his friends in this State, and out of it. It is an appointment, the fitness of which can not be disputed even by his political enemies. There have been very few men in public life, who, in point of education, culture and integ rity, have equalled Mr. Maynard, and still fewer who have excelled him. In his sixteen years of continuous ser vice in Congress, no man can point to a single corrupt act. He will faith fully represent his Government at Constantinople, and will give satis faction at all times. HOW THE BOUNTY BILL WAS LOST. The soldiers' bounty bill failed to become a law through a slight misun derstanding on the part of the gen tlemen who had charge of the bill. It is another illustration of what serious changes trifles sometimes affect. The bill passed the House by a very de cided vote, nearly four to one. It then went to the Senate, where two important amendments were added, one of which was to borrow money to meet the new claims provided by the bill. In this shape it passed the Sen ate, by aid of the casting vote of Vice President Wilson. It was then sent to the House, that the Senate amendments might be concurred in. The House, believing one of the amendment unjust to the soldiers of many of the States, refused to concur in the action of the Senate, and called for a Committee of Conference. The committee met, and very promptly agreed that the Senate amendments should prevail, as that was the only shape in which the bill could pass that hotly. The report of the com mittee was presented to the House ami adopted. Senator Logan, who had charge of the bill in the Senate, when tin: Con fercin e Committee's report was pre sented, Lad been misinformed as to the action of the House, cud -i :tt-'l that it had receded from i's ref'iis;l to concur in the Senate i.moiidiueht-,. I'poti this information he i- j.-i ,i.L-n-l any .I'tioii of the Senate upon the Conference Committee's report unim portant, or he might have s ir -ceded in securing its being adopted. As it was, the Senate tr-blcd the report by a vote of :J0 to 21. Had tV: House, which was almost unanimous for the bill, iimtead of adopting the Confer ence Committee's report, simply re ceded from its former action, as Gen. Logan underwood it. La done, ti c bill would have passed. Everybody supposed it was a law. It had in ef fect been passed by Congress. The bill was engrossed and signed by Speaker Blaine ami Vice-l'resident Wilson, and was before the President for approval when the situation whs discovered. The Attorncy-Gcueral advised the President that the bill had not passed Congress, and was not legally before him for his approv al. This is the way the soldiers lost their bounty bill. It is one of those mistakes that often happen in the last hours of Congress in the haste of closing the work of a ses sion. - -. THE RAILROAD QUESTION. The great question now before t lie people of East Tennessee, in particu lar, is, shall t he great railroad leading from Bristol to Chattanooga, the use of two hundred miles, finally prove a success, or shall it be destroyed? We desire to make a few brief re marks, pointed and plain, upon this subject ; and in what we say, we wish it distinctly understood that we intend no personal reflections upon any party or parties who may have questions of controversy with the road unsettled. Nor do we come before the public in a complaining spirit, intending to in fluence public sentiment for or against the road. We have thought, for many months past, that the suits iu the courts of the country against the road were multiplying so rapidly as to render the stability and usefulness of the road questionable. We suggest that parties who have just claims upon the road b met by arbitration and com promise. The officers of the road are a high-minded and honorable set of men, and as such they would be will ing to do justice to the parties who claim to have been damaged. In every instance the claimant would receive more than would be given to him by a jury of the country when lawyers' fees and costs are deducted. If these suits are continued, they will increase in number and iu violence, and may so seriously embarrass the operations of the road as to destroy it, and then the prosperity of East Tennessee is done for. Destroy this road, and you will ruin the country. The high prices you are receiving for real estate will dwindle down fifty per cent., and will never come up again during this generation. The question now at issue has nar rowed down to this point : Shall the road be run by the employees, or shall it be run by the stockholders whose money built it? We may be allowed to say, in closing this appeal to the parties in litigation, that we are not a stockholder, or have we been requested by any friend of the road to say a word, either by way of apology for the plaintifTs or defendants. We have at heart the prosperity of the road, and the satisfactory adjustment of the claims against it. In other words. " JLet us nave peace : ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS. The Democratic leaders in f 'miirro are talking about reading Alexander H. Stephens out of the party, because he voted in favor of suspending the rules in the House, so as to take up the Louisiana Compromise measure. Some of them were so incensed that they talked about denouncing him as being false to the sentiments of his constituents. It is said that his age and infirmity was all that kept them from carrying out their purposes. His Georgia colleagues charge that he was led to this course because the President allows him to control the Federal patronage of his District. It will be found, no doubt, that Stephens has a mind of his own, and that he will not be deterred from voting his sentiments, by implied threats or empty sneers from his par ty associates. It is predicted that ho many prove troublesome to his par ty leaders in the next two years Now that the 4 id Congress adjourned, and its acts have pa into history, the i.cwspapcrs will gin to do it justice.

The Supremo Court of Tennessee lecided at Nashville last week that the notes of the Bank of Tennessee Issued after May Gth, 18C1. and com monly known as the Torbett Issue. are legal and valid issues of the Bank, and that the State is bound to pay them. The facts connected with the issue of these notes are notorious. They were put forth to aid the State then in rebellion against the lawful authorities of the Government of the United States. They were issued af ter the State went into rebellion, and as we now recollect the testimony, by the order and through the influ ence of Gov. Ishnm G. Harris. The notes outstanding amount to at least $1,"00,000, and no one knows how much more. They were sold after the war very cheap, as few believed they would ever be paid. The peo ple generally looked upon them as part of the rebel debt repudiated by the amendments to the Constitution. The decision of the Supreme Court of the State may be appealed from, and the case carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. We are not advised whether any one feels in terest enough in the case to carry it there or not. Tin: arrival of our delayed mails brings us the detailed statement of Treasurer Morrow's estimate of the current actual expenses of the State, heretofore alluded to in our dis patches. The prospect is not a very encour aging one, although presented in a more favorable light by the Treasurer than the facts warrant. The amount of our expenditures to be provided for is $2,633,591. The assessment for 1874, upon which a tax can be levied, is $289,000,000. To this the Treas urer adds $51,000,000 of railroad property ; but as most of these roads claim that their charters exempt them from taxation for 1875, and will con test any attempt to levy a tax by litigation, it is useless to expect any aid from that quarter to meet the expenditures for the present year. But, even including this railroad property, the Treasurer admits a de ficit of $230,585 upon a forty cent tax. Mr. Morrow then makes an estimate upon a sixty cents basis, and is com pelled to admit as follows : "Now, if all collections can1 be made within the year as above, including the tax on railroads, then we should have u surplus in the Treasury of $34'J,815, but if collec tions average its they have since 1865, then even mis tax would hardly yield enough to meet our demands as they mature." He says that experience shows that only 33 per cent, of the taxes are collected in time to be of use during the year for which they were levied. Tueke is a time for all things, the wise man said. So Andrew Johnson thinks, perhaps, and consequently he reluses to take part in the canvass in New Hampshire. There is a time to speak, and a time to keep silence. TIIF. IVII. ItlKIITK BILL, IS M:w TOItli. Intention of Hotvl-Kprpern anil Ken laurant Proprivlorn. New York Tribune, March 3.) At several of the most prominent hotels in the eity, where inquiries were mada yesterday as to tbe action proposed to b taken iu relation to the Civil Rights bill, the manugers were found to be very reticent upon the subject and disposed to evade the question. At the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Mr. Griswold said he did not think that the bill would trouble the New York hotel proprietors. To the ques tion if he would permit colored men to have such rooms as they desired, he said be did not allow his present guests to dictate to him as to what portion of the bouse they would occupy; they were assigned such rooms as he saw fit to give them, and if they were not satisfied they were at perfect liberty to go elsewhere. He declared that bis course would be such as was fur the best advantage of the house and for the comfort ' f bis patrons ; but if a colored man came lie would give him a room. In answer to the question if he would allow colored persons to sit at the general table. Sir. (iriswold said that there was more than one dining room to the hotel, that be certainly would not refuse to fed a colored guest, and would take him into fcurh of the rooms as he saw fit. At tbeOrund Central, H. L. Powers, tbe lessee, was culled upon, and In re ply to the qie -stioii whether lie would entertain colored guests, he bald that bo did not think be would be either honored or troubled with them. When uski d if be would allow them to sit at the general table, In- said that the hotel wa- providi-d w ith tbreedining rooms, an l as to- nd not allow any one to dictate in bis Mablishmciit, he, could di-ni.si- of colored irnesls us lie aw lit, ami that if be saw lit to put any one in l he smallc-i ilining room he should do SO. Tins reason v.hy t-o many men and women al-o do not nu-eeeil in life is that, like Micawbor, tin y are wifiting fort-ome-thing to " turn up." It is better to make an opportunity than to wait for one ; and Infinitely wi-'T to do well the humblest woik than to stand lailv lioniiiir for more ooic.'ciilal occupation. lw iVork I.Mirr Brooklyn, N. Y., March 1, 1875. To the FMtari of the Chroniclt: It will pomdbly luterest your readers lomiow iinwtue people In Jtrooklyn, and New York city, talk about the Beeeber-Tllton trial, now prgrMHini In this city, and also how It looks to nn Et TeiineHHeean. fortunate for uu- fortunate) enough to net a ticket of HtimiHHion, ami witnew how the great moral tragedy Is condtfeted. The court house of Brooklyn is an ImnieiiHe building, but, like your new pontofllce mid court bouse building, ia cut up into many small rooms, ho that the room where this trial is taking place is not larger limn the circuit court room in Knoxville, capable of holding from one liuudred and fifty to iwo ouiioreu people, uniy tin me pro vlded with a ticket of admission, given by either the Judue or nome member of tbe bar, engaged In this case, can enter the court house. This would seem sutlicient precaution to prevent a jam, but Hindi Is not the case, for tickets have been given out to Ave times the capacity of the room. In addition to this, many forged tickets have been printed, which adds to the crowd seeking admittance, and vou can imagine, perhaps, the feeling of some tellow who lias stood in the line, shivering with cold for two hours or more, and, when at the door, Juntas be thinks be Is ready to walk iu, flnds the much prized piece of pasteboard which he fancied sufficient to insure him entrance, only a bogus ticket, and he compelled to stand aside and let his more fortunate neighbor walk in. The excitement seems to increase each day. You hear nothing else on the ferry boats, street cars, or places where men do congregate. In point of number, I think public sentiment is thus far about equally divided ; but, judging from appearances, Mr. Beech er's friends, as a class, are much more respectable than Mr. Tilton's, and at this time Mr. Beeeher seems to be gaining ground rapidly. Theopening speech of General Tracy, which will probably be concluded to-day, has more than satisfied Mr. Beecher's friends. He charges conspiracy ou toe part of Tilton, Moulton and Henry C. Boweu, of the Independent, and If he can prove one-halt what lie promises to do, Mr. Beeeher 'willj escape "scot free.'' General Tracy seems to be fully equal to the task and is evidently us ing his "whole ability" to clear the good name of his pastor and friend. He puts both the plaintifiand his wit nesses in a very unenviable light before the world. I rind one faeff very much to tbe credit of Mr. Beeeher, and which should go far towards clearing his name and fame of the present cloud upon them. That is, that those who have known Mr. Beeeher tbe most intimately dur ing his thirty years residence iu Brook lyn, are now his warmest friends. He is certainly a wonderful man, filling his pulpit on each Sunday and Friday night, while this trml is going on, with his usual vigor and interest; at each of these meetings probably not one fourth of those who go to hear him are able to get even standing room in that mammoth building. The jury in the ease are of more than usual (jury) intelligence, judging from their appearance, and what their ver dict will be of course bo one can tell, but my belief is that they will judge Mr. Beeeher not guilty. Knox. Cloning; Houn uf ( unenni. The following is the closing address of Speaker Blaine upon the adjourn ment of the 43d Congress, as we find it in the Washington Chronicle: Gkntlemkn: I close with this hour a six years' service as Hpeaker of the House of Representatives a period surpassed in length but by but two of my predecessors, and equaled by only two others. The rapid mutations of personal and political fortune in this country have limited the great major ity of those who have occupied this chair to shorter terms of ofllce. It would be the gravest insensibility to the honors and responsibilities of life not to be deeply touched by so sig nal a mark of public esteem as that which I have thrice received at the hands of my political associates. I desire iu this last moment to renew to them, one and all, my thanks and my gratitude. To those from whom I differ in my party relations the minority of this House I tender my acknowledgments for the generous courtesy with which they have treated me. By one of those sudden and decisive changes which distinguish popular Institutions, and which conspicuously mark a free peo pie, that minority is transformed iu the ensuing Congress to the governing power of the House. However It might possibly have been under other circumstances, that event necessarily Li leuucis uiese worus my mrewell to tne chair. The speakership of the American House of Representatives Is a post of nonor, oi cugnuy, or power, or respon sibility. Its duties are at once complex and continuous ; they are both onerous and delicate; they are performed in the broad light of day, under the eye of tbe whole people, subject at all times to the closest observation, and always attended with the sharpest criticism. I think no other official is held to such Instant and such rigid accountability. I'arliamentary rulings iu their very nature are peremptory, almost absolute In authority aud instantaneous iu ef fect. They can not always be enforced in such a way as to win applause or secure popularity ; but. I am ssure that no man of any party who is worthy to till this chair will ever see a dividing line between duty and policy. Thanking you once more, and thank ing you most cordially, for the honor able tehtunoliial you have placed on record to my credit, I perform my only remaining duty in declaring that the Forty third Congress has leached its constitutional limit, and that the House of Keprehentutives stands ud joiirned without day. With his last word the hammer fell, atid Speaker Blaine left the chair, and took a seat at the Clerk's desk. Then followed a scene never before witnessed in the hall of the House of Representatives. All over the lloor and iu the space iu front of the seats, which were densely packed, us well as the galleries, there was the wildest en thusiasm with waving of handker chiefs by the ladies and clapping of hands by everybody, the two sides Hcemihk to vie with each other as to which should be the heartiest in its ap plause. And thus ended the second session of the Forty-third Congres-, TUT. CONVEKTIOWAL 1HTERK1T I.AV. Haw lite Hill to Hrprftl II Inllol. Uur delayed letter from Kaidiville gives the following account of the fail ure of tbe bill to repeal tbe ten per cent, luterest law: , The sensation of the week, "speak ing legislatively, " waa in connection with that bono of 'outentlou the bill repealing the conventional interest law. The House bill panned third reading iu the House, under a call for the previous question, and was lushed Into the Senate, where the opponents of this tulcldul measure aecii red Its re jection on first reading by a small ma jority. Then, In order to fix It nnd secure Its burial beyond the possibility of a rejection by this Legislature, Hay nea immediately moved a reconsid eration of the vote by which It was re jected, whereupon Overton moved to lay Haynes motion on the table. Had tbe motion to table been agreed to, the bill could not have been called up by any known principle of parliamentary law, but unfortunately the friends of the naHtire had received reinforce ments in the meantime, and the iiidh tiou to table was lost, ho that the pres ent status of the House lull la a rejec tion with a motion to reconsider, pending. The Senate bill on the same subject was fully discussed iu the Senate to day, having been made special order for 11 o'clock. Speeches Iu Its fuvor were made by Senators Hodges, Logan, Moseley aud Aden, while Senators Ragland, Buchanan aud Wade opposed the measure, the latter maklug a very able speech. The discussion was prolonged until 2 p. m., the frieuds of thu bill making several Ineffectual attempts to secure au adjournment until 10 a. M. Monday, in order to have Senator Jones present, when a vote was reached, as It was known that be would vote for It. These efforts were all checkmated by the opposition, who were Well organ ized, aud kuew their : strength or rather thought they did though the result proved they had over-estimated it. When a vote waa finelly reached it stood 12 against 12, Marchbanks, who had been counted upon by the opposition, having changed from the negative to tbe affirmative before the result was announced. Thefrieudsof the bill were so confident of its rejec tion by this vote that Blizzard, one of their number, voted in the negative, in order to be in position to move are consideration. Just as the Chair an nounced the result, that the bill had failed for want of a constitutional ma jority Blizzard asked permission to change his vote, but was ruled out of order. If he had voted in the affirma tive, tbe bill would have passed, but as It ig, he will move a reconsideration, and the bill doubtless pass Monday, iu which case it will certainly become the law. b. - I.EClISI.ATIYf: IIOIXUM. A llevy of Kolon Advixed not right Ldltors. Our delayed Nashville letter of Feb ruary 27th, says : A little breeze was stirred up by the Introduction of a memorial, in which Messrs. Jamison, Odell, iNoblitt, Har riss, Morgan, Newman, Shackle ford, Walker and Spears entered their solemn protest against being sneered at by tbe Nashville Union and Amor icftn, " or aHy other man," iu the fol lowing words aud llgures, to-wit: "Mr. Speaker: We, the under signed, a few of the supporters of tho ' bill to be entitled an aet to redeem the bonded Indebtedness of the State ' beg leave to enter this our solemu pro test against the appended article, which appeared In the Union and American of Feb. 25, and request that the same bespread upon the journals of this House. " It Said paper had then published none of the discussions on said bill which have taken place in this House, setting forth the utility, the practica bility, the constitutionality, and the necessity for said measure. Neither has said paper ever published tbe bill referred to, nor any part of it, and therefore we consider its criticisms and comments unfair, uujust, and intended to prejudice aud mislead the public. They seem to forget the time has come when, concerning our finances, renson aud not 'bosh sways the minds of the people of this State. " 2.

This protest the signers thereof de sired to have spread upon the minutes of the House, together with the edi torial referred to, which waa more than a column in length, but were finally Induced to withdraw that re quest after considerable argument, in the course of which Ledgerwood re marked that the better way was to avoid stirring up newspapers, as edi tors generally said what they pleased, and were always in position to have the last word. And he was right. . m 0 Andrew Joliimon.
