Japanese who have just been beatifed.
A foreign paper says that the increasing dear
ness of crossties has given rise to plan now be-
ing tried by the railroad company OF the Rhine by
which the necessity Of their use is avoided. The
rails employed are nine inches high (instead Of
fiye), little narrow on the top, and about three
fourths of inch broader at the bottom than the
ordinary rail, twenty -four feet long and nine hun,
dred zoll-pounds each in weight. They are buried
five inches in gravel, which is covered with three
inches Of earth, so that only the top Of the rlh re-
mains above ground. The rails are connected with
chairs, in the usual way, and the two sides OF the
track are fastened together at intervals OF three
feet with round iron braces. It is claimed that
this construction is as safe as the use Of crosses
Whether it is as economical, time alone will show.
TIE ENGLISH PREMIER is evidently in an awk-
ward predicament ON 1.-THE Reform question. 1t is
equally inconvenient for him to move on or 10
stand still. The Lords having declined to sane
tion Mr.. D1sRAEI1's reform scheme without raising
the rate OF qualification, an immense stumbling
block is thrown in the way Of the Government.
How to get over it is difficult problem. Lord
DERBY might do as Earl GREY did to secure the
passage Of the previous reform measure in 1882
he might spply to the Queen to create sufficient
number of new peers to secure the passing OF the
bill. But here would be the difficulty. The men
who would consent to become peers in order to
push through the House of Lords bill for extend
ing the elective franchise would be Of necessity
men Of liberal sentiments. On all other questions
except this one question Of reform, which it suits
the convenience Of the tory party to take up just
now, they would be likely to act against Lord
DxRBY and his party, and would soon bring his
sanure Of Office to an end. creation Of new
pens, therefore, is impolitic. To stand quietly
by and allow the popular agitation to go on till it
reaches the proportions of revolution would be
stiIl more unwise.

the Nashville Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 4, 1867.
Hon. d. O. W. Se1ter. STATE Senate,
NdshUtlle, Tennessee.
DEAR SIR: Feeling that you were
actuated By friendly motives when you
introduced the resolution in the Union
Convention o the I'D ult., at Nash
vile, nominating me as the choice Of
the Union men of Tennessee as the
next President of the United States,
have felt free to acknowledge my
high appreciation of your friendship,
as we'll as the complimentary manner
in which the resolution was received
and adopted By the Convention.
But being fully aware of my dis
qualification for the high and respon-
sible office for which I find myself
nominated so unexpectedly, 1 cannot
think, for oue moment, of allowing my
name TO be used ia connection there
with. Having been educated as sol
der, and served for sthe past twenty
years in the army, / am much better
qualified to continue my duties as
citizen of the United States ia that
department of the Government than
in any other. I therefore have TO re-
quest that you viii make known, my
sentiment in the matter to the citizens
Of Tennessee.
I remain, most truly, yours,
GEO. III. THOMAS.
