As will be seen by the above, the Nash
vile and Northwestern railroad is behind
the largest sum of any road in the State
The Governor commissioned Gen. W. P.
lines as Receiver of this road several weeks
since, his commission to take effect on the
first of October.
President Burns has been ia the East for
some time past, endeavoring to raise money
to meet the liabilities of the road, but thus
far, we believe, has met with no great sue
cess and the road win very likely go into
the hands of General Innes as Receiver
Such will certainly be the case. unless an
extension of time is granted.
The Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
still remains in the hands of It's company,
although no arrangements have yet been
made, we believe, for the liquidation Of the
100000 debt to the United States Govern
ment, and whether this claim can be salts
factOrily met remains to be seen. As to the
liquidation of interest accrued we are not
informed
The magnificent crops Of the past year,
the revival Of business generally and the
cOnsequ increase of passenger and freight
traffic on all the roads in the State, opens a
brighter prospect and the companies may
| all in time be able to meet their liabilities.
Tennessee now has a total of 1885 miles
railroads in running operation which cost
s35, $50, 500.
The Tennessee and Pacific railroad from
Knoxville to Memphis has been surveyed
from Nashville to Knoxville, but as yet there
are no immediate prospects for the opening
of this new and magnificent route. Should
home capital be wanting however, when
affairs in this portion of our country be-
comes more settled, it is not at all improba-
bic that the enterprise may go into the
hands of capitalists from abroad
The Evansville, Henderson and Nashville
railroad is now in progress under the super
intendenee of energetic men and It's sue
cessful completion is looked forward to al
no distant day

q Brownlow has not announced himself as a

his friends say he will accept the position,
if offered This IS virtually getting on the
track. and the probabilities are that he viii
be elected If Gov. B. should not be se-
lected, the race will be between Stokes and
Maynard, with chances in favor of the
latter" The same writer says D. G. Senter
will be elected President Of the State Senate.

Council, the wealth and intelligence Of
Nashville, protested against such high

THEY'LL NEVER UNITE.
BYR. a. THoMFsou.

But short time ago our hopes were all bright,
With the idea Of seeing all churches unite.
Contention all buried no jar and no achism,
One head, one faith. and enc only baptism.
How much better t'would be for them all to unite.
If preachers and members would always do right;
They might all live together in the raptures Of love,
And % initiate the bright angels above.
But the Methodist class do the Baptist derido.
Because the LOrds supper they never divide;
And this firm opinion they can not dsperss.
That baPtizO translated signiHes to immerss.
And the Baptist contend that the act is unwiss.
To sprinkle with water and call it baptizs.
Besides, brother Methodist what does it mean,
To close your church doors and refuse to Do ssenf
Thh piece Of advice on the subject III give.
(For you'll unite Whilsthe Lord lsts you livs;)
Each mind your own business. let all others 60.
And the affair viii 10 settled, at least hope So
Ny song is getting long. and 50 must stint il.
If Parrish is willing he's welcome 70 print it.
II yon don't like tho tune make one Of your oEa.
And Il you are suited Why let il alone.

Saturdays Election Returns
The Nashville Union and Dispatob sa-

The Nashville Union and Dispatch says
When the Judges of the election held in
the city on Saturday repaired to the City
Hall with the poll>books Of the various
wards, the Mayor and city authorities re-
ceived them into custody to await the action
Of the City Council They declined to re-
eognize their validity, on the ground that no
election had been held under the city char
teri and that they, being officers under that
instrument only, could know nothing Off
cially beyond it, nor admit the legality of
anything done contrary to its provisions.
This action was clearly correct, and follows
as logical sequence to the position they had
assumed. The charter directs that the cleo
ton shall be held under certain regulations.
EEtraneous force had oYerruled the authority
of the charter. The city authorities would
themselves have violated the charter by such
cOnniyance at its infractiOn
The illegality of Saturday proceedings is
shown in this fact The charter was sus-
pended from 9 A. N. to 4 P. n, and then those
who had set it at naught, found themselves
forced to depend upon it to give sanction to
what occurred during It's annulment This
Is the acme of absurdity If it was bind
ing law governing the election of Saturday,
1t was effective for that purpose all day, as
well before O'clock as afterwards. There
is no escape from this conclusion. The ex-
listing city government under the municipal
charter cannot recognize the acts of the
Commissioners of Registration. The latter
Is State officer, and should have reported
TO his superior authority in the State govern
ment

TENNEggEE RAILROaps.
Their Condition and Future Prospeets--
Various Interesting Facts

With but a single exception, says the
Press and Times, that Of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, every railroad IN the
State Of Tennessee is in more or less en-
barrassed condition The interest due on
bonds loaned by the State has, in many in
stances, run up TO enormous sums and
weighed down the roads with a debt which
It were vain to think Of trying to throw of,
save by the tedious process of careful econ
omy and skillful fnanceering.
The Louisville railroad liquidated the
claims Of the State by purchasing State
bonds during the war, when they were forty
and fifty cents on the dollar, and then pay
ing them into the Treasury at par.
By Legislative enactment it has been pro-
vided that when a road fails to pay the in
terest due on the State bonds loaned, Re
ceiver may be appointed to run the road
until the claims held by the State are settled.
The papers of the Comptroller's ogee how
ever fail to show that these officers are more
successful than the companies in earning
money and paying it into the treasury Du.
ring the past year no payments of any con.
sequence have been made by roads in the
hands Of Receivers
Our State now has deep interest in hel
railroads, as she has now loaned them the
enormous sum of SO, 100000 in bonds
We are indebted to the Comptroller fol
the following, showing the amount OF in
terest due the State last July, and still IN
