VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD
We regret to meet with the following para
graph in the Lynchburg Republican, MS we
have been nattering ourselves with the hope
that this Road would be completed to the
Tennessee line, by the time almost to which
tits proposed to delay any further PROCESS on
the work:
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad.-
We regret to learn that the sales Of the bonds
of this company, advertised to take place in
New York.reachcd only some So, 900. They
brought from TAI to so per cent. 1t is use
less to expect any company to submit to snch
shaves as this, and declare dividends 1t
would be much better policy on the part
Of the company to pay no Intention to the
complaints of the South West, and quietly
abide its time until the next Legislature
meets. The State is deeply interested in
this company, both as a stakeholder and en-
dorser. Furthermore, If the company were
to fail to pay the interest on the propos-
ed loan, the State would in the end
have it to do. The Legislature meets the
lst Of next December, and it is TO be hoped
that more unanimous spirit will guide the
action of its members than heretofore. This
company, and Others, will come before them
asking aid. We do not require much,
and there can be no doubt but that we will
get it, if our membeFs pursue the proper
course
The receipts of the road in its present
condition will, for the present year, we I'M
derstnnd, exceed $25O,00e. This will doubt
less be sufficient to pay interest upon its
bonds and the running expenses Of she road.
1t would be better then, to discontinue all
work upon the road for the present that its
necessities did not absolutely require. The
final completion of the road may be regarded
M secure, and'it would be better to defer il
for the present than to destroy its credit by
saddng it with liabilities which cannot be
promptly met

CAN IT BE TRuEl

We find the following in the last Knoxville
Register, and in all honesty and sincerity ask
can it be true, as charged, that Tennessee
Democrats are banding together with foreign
ers in secret associations, to plot against ma
tive born Americans, to uphold Romanism,
and thus contribute to the building up par
ty favoring union of Church and STATED
We have known for some time that such an
organization as the Register speaks OF, has
been in existence in the Western States, and
that it was increasing and multiplying rapid
ly; but we had no idea that such movement
would be eopntenanced by Tennessee Demo
Gratis, much less that they would attach them
selves to it. We hope it is not true-it would
be De too disgraceful after the hearty denun-
Citations they have bestowed on the Know
Nothings for the secret feature of their order A:
Hare ace any "Sdg Nichts" ia KnorriHe?--
We admit that the existence of such an or
ganiZation rs this is almost incredible. Amer
leans, honest, patriotic Teunesseeans, can
hardly conceive it possible that there should
exist secret oath bound, political associa-
ton, originated by Foreigners, and strength
ened by accessions from the native dnfi-Amer-
lean ranks. Yet its existence is no longer a
matter of speculation; it is a real living pow
er growing up in our country--in our own
State-vith the most unnatural and unpatri
otto purposes The Sparta Times informs us
that Lodge has been organized in that
place. The McMinnville Enterprise tells us
that they number about six hundred in Muir.
freesborough. 1t is said that Cleveland is
4 : + II II n a
that they have ''opened shop" in Knoxville
How that is, we can not tell. We know they
exist. We have seen their oath, and learned
their principles. Their effect, probably, will
be here, as in other places, to monopolize the
strength of the anti-hmerican party. And
yet the far.seeing leaders of the foreign par
ty who long ago deserted the downfall of our
government in the secrecy of the American
movement, have suddenly discovered its sal
walton in the same policy when directed
against the native born sons of America.

ST8uISSION -pOpIuAR WILL

The Richmond Dispatch speaks of the re-
suit Of the late elections in Virginia, and
says: There is nothing which strikes intelli-
gent foreigners who visit this country, with
more surprise than the cheerful obedience
with which defeated parties submit to the
popular wiil. Just on the eve of an impOr
tant ection. there is a perfect whirlwind of
excitement, but no sooner is the decision of
the people pronounced, than the storm disap-
pears, the passions of men cool down, and
the party that had just stood with upraised
arm and sword cleaning in air, recognizes
the sovereign majority of the popular will,
and bows its gallant crest in graceful ac-
acknowledgement Such 4 spectacle as this,
no other country on the face of the earth but
America could present 1t is the modest
tribute that could be paid to the competen-
cy of the American people for self govern
ment
We have just passed through the most ex.
citing election that Virginia has ever witness.

That we are all embarked, for veal or woe, on

THE FRAMING PRIVILEGE.

Some one has sent us document under
the frank of SIS. A. Smith, NJ. Co" entitled
'Facts for the People of the SOuth-Aboli-
ton Intolerance and Religious Intolerance
United-Know Nothingism Exposed: Wash
ington-Printcd at the Union Office" The
whole is tissue of extracts from anti-Amer-
can and Romsh papers, pretended exposes of
Know Nothingism, and the speeches OF Sag
Nichts made at the last session OF Congress.
Thousands of them have passed through the
Athens and other post-ofliecs in the last two
weeks, and they arc sent out to operate upon
the elections in this State. For several
weeks past complaints of the failure of the
newspaper mails have reached us from every
direction, and rs there is no excuse for such
failures at this time, is it too much TO pre-
sumo the newspaper bags are thrown aside
to make room for the transmission and more
rapid circulation of these ant-Amerlcan
documents They are sent from the office
of the Washington Uuion-the government
orgah-it may be ut the Instance and under
the auspices of the administration of Frank
lin Pierce, who was elected rs National
man, but who has done more within the few
short years that he has been President, BY
his appointments and official patronage, to
strengthen the enemies of tho South-plac-
ing many of them, as he has done, in posi-
tons of honor and proft-than all the Sew
wards, Greelys, and Wilson's in the country.
This last business, however, is in entire keep
ing with the whole course of the administraA
ton. We may here remark, too, that we
have heard democratic post-masters descant
with great energy and Hnency uponthe mon
strous abuse Of the fronhiRg privilege while
Wing documents were passing through the
mails, and we have seen the same worthy of
icials wadb through cart loads of electioneer-
ing trash from the office of the Washington
Union, working until they sweat great drops,
without uttcring single word of complaint
We care but little about the contest be-
tween johnson and Gentry--the one is D
dangerous nm, radical of the red repub-
can order-ihe other disclaims being any
thing at present, and is, perhaps, the least
obj ctionable man-but we publish paper
devoted solely to the public good, feeling
ourself at all times capable of rising above
the petty prJudices which control the mere
partisan edipr, and we deem it our duty to
| call the atteltion Of the people of this Con-
gressona District to the fact that the ad-
ministrato at Washington is now doing in
Tennessee, what ii recently did in Virginia
interfering in our elections, and attempting
to control and direct them. We may add,
that we very much regret to see the frank of
our Representative, who is not now nor has
been in Washington City, from whence these
documents come, for some time past, prost-
tutcd to such an unworthy use.
