PREKMAK, J. Till: laSASE ASYLUM. After tho erpiabbliug aud conten tion over the ill-bclected location for the "West Tennessee insane asylum at llum boidt, we never espected that the pres ent eoniiniesionera could ever agree upon a site near Memphis. We therefore looked for a compromise, sueh as has at last been determined upon. On Tuesday,' J; after all the hitts in this vicinity had Jieeu oxamiued, tlie loard of com iBissteBers met at Bartiett, and on tii fourth ballot decided upon BrswBSville, where, we understand, there is a moat eligible location. "While this does not como up to the ex pectations of our people nor meet all the reqtiirewenis of the asylum, it is the best that can be done; and rather than lose, the appropriation, of which there is Hwe likelihood should a location not be determined upou befoiethe legisla lure meetf, we accept it as a fair com promise, tatUtW that Br. Rogers, in voting for it, lias but consulted the best interests of Memphis. Brownsville is only a couple of hours' ride from the city, and is the capital . of one of the most llourithing and wealth iest counties in Weft Tennessee, and -wttk a population of probably five thou sand, is remarkable for its spirit and en terprise. Perhaps it is not too much to claim for it a growth, since tho war, uu exam pied in towns of its size in the south. It lies on a beautiful file, aud is surrounded by lands of unu&ual fertility, and owns a population that, in all re peetn, compares favorably with any of like extent in the country. They are among tlte best friends of Memphis, and we da not know any community, after our own, tawbom we would more cheer fully eaoeede bo rich a plum as this asy lum wtti prove. We hope, there' fore, that Governor Brown will, at his earliest convenience, examine the site selected, and confirm the judgment of Dr. Kogers and Colonel Gardner. Colonel Bay f till sticks to Humboldt; he is true to his first choice, and we honor bim for his tenacity and love of locality, but he must be careful lest thee qualities merge themselves in stub bareness. The time has come for him to yield gracefully, and we hope, instead of forwarding a minority report against It, he wHl indorse that or Colonel Gardner and Dr. Rogers, and make the selection of Brownsville unanimous. As the est that can be done under the circum stances, we indorse the last report of the commissioners. tOS.-Bi:-MOXAI In the senate yesterday, cheap trans portation, a raueh needed commodity at the prose nt time, occupied nearly the entire attention of the honorable sena tors, aud dunng its discussion the mouth of the Mississippi aud the importance of jdaetBg it in a condition to facilitate western commerce, was frequently al luded to. The same subject was dis cussed iu the houe. civil itnaiis. 311 not lreinBlnreo Talk Abnnt Nn pendlnK he t'nbllr bcbools? ICditobb ArPEATj Is it not prema ture and unwarrantable to suspend pub liesehoots Isore the civil rights bill be comes atewf I cannot think the entire nation Is crazy. I must think the lMiuse has too much common sense to indulge in weak minded Humner sentimentality. I also think res4dent Grant's head' is too hard to be turned by as soft au affair as bocial equality. Isotwithstanding the henate's toplofty vaulting and summer saulting in negro nonsense, I believe there is enough common sense in the Itouse, the President, the supreme court, or some other power, to save the nation from the disgrace of the so-called civil rights. I do not thiuk the thing can be made to go not for a while, at least. The olicy i, that the President, or the party, or somebody or something else, must not be disturbed during the remainder of this congressional session, by Mils to be vetoed (red blankets for bulls, it seems), hence the delay of the civil rishts Wllinthe house. I think we can have a long, undisturbed school term before that Mil is discussed again In congress. Our state superin tendent's order to school directors to make no contract! with teacher, white or black, until further orders from him, might be safely and wisely countermanded by an order to reform the district public schools imme diately, and continue them as long as t there is money to pay teachers one. two or three months, as the school fund may justify. The bchoola were suppend ed several months before at the close of I four months' term, because there was 1 not suCicient funds in the treasury to continue them through the five months contracted for. The people came to the rescue and continued the schools as pri vate or subscription schools, in nearly every Instance. Now that there is money sufficient, would it not be better for the directors to come to the relief of the people and give them the Immediate benefit of the funds by continuing the schools until the civil rights bill becomes a law. I think it Is time enough to fly when danger is at hand. I am opposed to running In advance. I think the senate's vote for civil rights was intend ed for a capital Joke to ridicule some thing or somebody, or to get rid of the bill. The thing stuck In the stomach of legihlation so long that there was no remedy for it but to vomit it out, pass the bill in the senate, aud leave the house, the President, or the supreme court to kill It.

Add- ics for the countries not comprised in his tables 3050 bales per week, we have me weekly average enure lui.uuu bales 39,780,001) pounds. According to the leading statistical authorities in Liver pool, the weekly average of actual con sumption for the calendar year was, in England, C1.C10 bales ot3SSJ-10 pounds, aud on the continent 11,700 bales of372 lMiunds aversce total, 103,310 bales 39,610,000 pounds per week. The CWroni dc In an article of February 21, 1S74. from all the authorities and tho working of tho spindles, computed the consumption In all Europe (also for the calendar year) to be 5,381,710 bales 103,50 bales per week. All tne ueures approxiaiate closely Taking the largest, Bay 101,000 bales per week, and tne average weights (including extra waste), 3S2 pouuds per bale, the aggregate con sumption Tor the year ending Septem ber 30, 1&73, is rounu to be .uus.&uo.ooo pounds. some oi me nest cotton statisticians in Europe have recently expressed the opinion that the consumption during the current year will not ex- cted that of last year, and that the increase in the deliveries this year has gone to augment the stocks held by spinners, 'the general decline in busi ness activity all over Europe serves, to confirm this opinion. If such shall prove to be the fact and it certainly may well be so as to number or ixtics weeKiy. see ing that the saving in waste and the in- eased weight oi bales tins year are equal to 4 per cent, or inort !t follows that thero will be a very considerable in crease of the stock on baud September 30th. That Is, the supply, as above eiven. for the year, being C.975.000 bales tea-.s-ju.uuu pounds, anu me consump tion iU4,uuo bales oi 3i7 pounds, and better quality, per week, or 5,10S,000 bales 2,092,o95.000 pounds. Slock on hand October 1st, 1871, will be 1,567,000 biles boo.ooi.uw pounds, in addition to such stocks as spinners may have held October 1st, 1S73. The deliveries to spinners during 1S72-S, corresponded more nearly with the consumption than for several years before. Those dell veries averaged week ly for the year In England, Gl,250; and on the Continent, 10,750; together, 102, 000, or 2000 bales less than the consump tion, the deficiency being mado good from the stocks held by spinners October 1st, 1S72. One of the best Liverpool authorities, In a .circular dated May 7th, states the comparative movement of cotton since January 1, 1871, as follows: In Eng land "the deliveries to home consumers have reached 1,123,575 bales (06.092 per week), against 1,059,051 bales (02,332 per week) last year, weiffhlne 451,707.000 pounds, against 41 8,538,000 pouuds; the average weigui being -ivz pounds anu 395 pounds respectively. The total im port into the continent during the first seventeen weeks of the year, amounts to 1,009,907 bales. The stock at the commencement of the year was 272.969 hales, and a week ago, 412,617 bales; so that the deliveries were 810,229 bales, or 49,425 bales per week. Last year the deliveries were 723,939 bales, or 40,496 bales per week." From this it appears that during the first four months of 1871, the weekly deliveries of cotton in all Europe have averaged 115,517 bales per week: that being of the better quality and heavier bales this year, 12,Gfa bales per week more thau during the same four months last year, and 11,517 bales per week more than the average num ber in the weekly consumption of light er and more wastiug bales In all of last year. If the opinion before quoted, that the Weekly number of bales actual ly consumed this year is not larger in average thsn last year, is cor rect, then during the last four months European spinners have added to their own stocks (or Invisible cotton on hand), 195,789 bales, and fclnce October probably 300,000 bales or more. Does not this ex plain what has become of the increase in this year's cotton supply? When in 1870-71 the low price of cot ton induced spinners in England to buy 250,000 hales or more in excess of their consumption, and those on the conti nent to take quite as much more, the fact that spinners' slocks had been In creased by 500,000 or 000,000 bales be yond the quantity usually carried, though clearly stated by Olf-Trumpler and in the Chronicle, was not generally credited uutil after midsummer in 1672, when the presence of that extra stock was made manifest in "the abstention of spinners from market for many weeks," "This amoun) wm for IS weeks last year.

The following Is a synopsis of a letter from Senator llrowulow. published in Tuesday's Knoxvllle Gironicle, iu answer to a re cent attack on mm by Jtev. Mr. iiari- lett, president or JHarysvllle college, a mixed scnooi. ne says: I AM OPPOSED TO THIS CIVIL KIQIITS BILL. because it is a usurpation of rights, and au oppression upon all classes of white neonlo in my Stato and section. No feature of it is to mo mine odious than that it is burdensome to the poor white ueonle. and m utter coutcmpt or tlielr rights and interests. I am a friend of the poor white people, as I have always been, because l want tneir cuuureu educated in the public schools at the ex neuse of those mole fortunate than they who are not able to send their children to private school, and for that I 0 pose this oppressive aud abominable usurpation. Tiior''passage of this civil rights bill will destroy the free schools or the State, us it ought to do, for it is better to have no Schools at all than such as are arbitrarily dictated under mis phi. ine mere tureat to pass it is Till: GREATEST INSI'LT AND OUTRAGE which has ever been attempted upon the honest, hard-working people of small proiorty, or no property at all. The negro- woishlppers, who believe that a poor wlnte Man in me souuiMiouid iinr. ItnvA formal rlfrhtM with thn nWrn. and the politicians who urge-'lfVln Ig norance of the needs oriu disregard of the interests or me ieopie or the eouth. say to the poor white men, "We know you do not want to seiidyouccunureu to mixed fcboola: we know ificoncress forces this measure It wiir-destroyyonr schools, but you stian nave mixea schonls, or none at all." THE rOOH WHITE TftASff OF MASSA CHUSETTS, whence Mr. Bartiett emigrated, may cower and yield to the insolent demands of politicians, but the poor people of Kast Tennessee will never be driven like sheep to the slaughter-pen by a class of politicians or by any political party. They know their rights and dare main tain them. They have always been freemen, and they will always bo such. The whole Southern Confederacy could not FUbjug&te mem, and small politi cians aud Uemivgoguea of their political faith cannot do it. Yes, Mr. Bartiett, you can rally me miscegenation and wlitto dodging poimcaus who agree wun you that poor white people have no rights, ann l win meet you wun iioneei laborers and poor meu whoso rights are outraged and trahipled on by that aliom luation. He remarks: The negro now has the equal protection of laws. In words, he has eqaal political rights with the whites. Besides this, iu all tho southern States, he has EQUAL FACILITIES FOK EDUCATION at public expense, though he ,does not pay one-tenth of one per cent on the dollar of the taxes which are collected to support the schools. No invidious dis tinctions are mauo against mm. Edu cation in these States is out of the sphere of politics. The negro is amply pro tected and tho national legislature should cease legislating on tlie educa tional question, and creating turmoil and bad blood where progress and good feeling is being secured. For several years tho greater portion of the time of our legislators has been occupied in LEGISLATING FOB THE NEGRO RACE. Amendment after amendment to the constitution lias beeu adopted, and law after law lor tne lurmer protection oi the negro has been adopted, until he is now the political equalorthe white man. Now that thU has been achieved, the nezro business ought to stop. The country at large is becoming disgmted with the ellorts now being maue to oppress tne whites by the passage of a bill which is not essential to the protection of the blacks. What the people and States of the south need is to be let alono by con gress, and given a little opportunity for recovering from the desolation and woes of war. The southern people have been wnippeu in name between me sections, and except a small class of FOSSILIZED POUTICLtNS, and a Jot of weak-minded voune men. who part their hair In the middle, they acknowledge and feel it. In no State is the negro deprived of full and equal protection before the law; but in several southern States, like South Carolina, the white man has no rights which the negro la bound to respect. The south ern people have been sufliciently pun ished for participating in the re bellion, and instead of harassing and further humiliating them, congress ought toexteii'l them a helping hand. The result of its passage will 1ms that the sohool system wilt be destroyed, and the war and race prejudices which were being rapidly obliterated, will be revived with unwonted fury, nnd the present generation will not live to see so favorable a condition, of affairs as exists at this time. A FEELINO OF RETURNING LOYALTY which was growing in the south, will die out, and one of hostility to the gov ernment will take its place. The mixed school bill might well bo termed a bill for the encouragement of riot and chaos in the -southern States, and for the hu miliation of the widows and the oppres sion of the orphans oT the south. With my view of this question, Irani glad to see that the superintendent of public in struction for Tennessee has, 4taken the Initiatory step for the ABOLITION OF 7 HE WHOLE COMMON- ECnOOL SYSTEM of the State; that if the bill should pass the system may be abolished without delay. Iu the fullest and most em phat'c manner possible I wish to see Tennessee express the indignatijn and diegust of her people at this palpable in vasion of their rights In their purely do mestic relations.

The following minority report was maue: we wouiu also recomment the pay ment or me amounts as agreed upon by the appraisers under the peculiar hard ships and circumstances, If the general council think It proper to remove those parties oil' of the premises. I'HIL. J. Af ALLON, JNO. B. MAHONY. A motion to adopt the minority report was lost. A motion to adopt the majority re port, nnd refer the matter to the mayor, was lost. Tne council men adopted the majority report, and Happy-Hollow is to be filial up. accounts. . The committee on accounts reported au auowauce oi uniereni individual and official accounts for the various de partments of the city in the sum of $34, 800 S3. In regard to the NEGRO FIREMEN, Peter Mitchell, Jo Lusher, Andrew Trigg, aud P. Doyle (white), who were placed in charge of the Chelsea hose carriage by tho mayor, the committee recommend their accounts to the coun cil for actiou. The report was received. Councilman Roush, chairman of the committee, stated that the committee did not regard the parties entitled to pay, as the fire committee alone, and not the mayor, had a right to appoint firemen. Councilman Thomas (colored) moved to pay the parties. He said the other members of the lire committee agreed by common consent to place negroes on the hose-carriage and to give the mayor power to do so. Tho committee opposed this action of the mayor when they found out that negroes wero to be ap pointed. The reason for opposing this appointment was because tho chief had said he was opposed to negroes being inj tne department, it would be an in justice to refuse tho men pay. He wanted to Know now me members voted. Councilman Tuther said he didn't want to hide his vote. The men were not placed there upon the vote of every member of the council. . Not the mayor but tho fire committeo and chief of the fire department were authorized to place men on the force. Because the mayor arrogated this authority it was no reason the coun cil should approve it, especially when the cuiei said lie nau enough men to man the boso-carrlage in case of an emergency, for such additional expense would do injustice to citizens. Councilman Hunt (colored) said they had been -promised a great deal. If the council bad acted wrong, such should be corrected. It Mayor Loague had acted wrong, without authority, then he should pay the salary of these meL. The appointment una been made to give the negro his dues. JJe didn't want to be paid off in an alley. Ho wanted what was promised him when at the ballot box. The negroes had spotted theso Democrats, and wanted to know who would refuse to comply with promises made tlie negroes last January. Councilman Barinds made an explan atory speech on "appliances," which meant things not men. The council had never given the mayor the authority to place tho men there. As far as negroes were concerned he was making no war, but upon the illegality of the appoint liU edUIorTin EnglUli Tverstrin lm.lllrZJ'.,.'',. ment. Tho mayor had no right to ap point, mese meu. CIVIL RIGHTS THDKDER. Councilman Thomas (colored) said tho strong opposition to thexo meu was be cause of their color. The Ore chief had said that he did not want any niggers on tne nre department, aud so did Mr, itouscb, chairman of the lire commit tee. Councilman Koush said tliat Thomas always alluded to negroes iu his speeches. He might as well say that uju-utv was oeiog uouo tne uermaus, ax there 13 nota German Thcrn was an agreement from the first that three men from the force would be Iareu ior tne uoee-carrlage. He had fought three voath in fA iUn n and felt kindly disposed toward the ne groes wncn tncy Kept in their places. Still ho Was not wlllioz to nnt iieerruxi Into positions they were incapable of Ulllllg. Councilman Camp said it was untrue mat Chief McKadden had enld he ilid not want negroes on .the force. The statements of Thomas to this effect wero untrue. - ' Councilman Happek said the negroes hail allowed themselves to be "uied as" toois. ne opposed the payment of tlie Bamncn ui mese men because they had not been rightly apiiolnted. Councilman Wnltprs nii ttA xena Ilia author of tho resolution creating the es- tauiiDuiueui. oi me hoae-carrlage, and he understood and supposed other mem bers alto know at that time that negroes wero to be put ori the Chelsea hose-carriage. Had four of Mr. McFadden's countrymen (irishmen) instead of ue- r.roe? "?? a . Put on u'8 carriage, he McFaddenl would have said nothing about it. He had neversaved any prop erty in Chelsea from burning, and this carriage was to protect their property. If the chief coind spare firernen why uuu no mm, men uoing notuing. uuuuuuiau iiou-m sain there "was need for every man in the ilennrtmenr but he would spare three meu, in order to save additional exneuspsi. Councilman Hunt (colored) said Chief luvruuueu uiu not nnd out tho illegali ty of the appointments until he found out mat they were negroes. Councilman Carpenter said he wanted to ask Counoilmau Walters to explain something. He Walters stated to him that, in a conversation with Mayor Loague, the latter agreed to place the negroes oil the hose-carriage, knowing that tho board would not concur in the appointments. Tho motion of Councilman Barinds to disallow the wages was then voted ou auu tuiopteu.
