eeives an Honest Reply from the
WOrkingmeR-Sharp and Interest
ing Correspondence.
On the 18th inst after Gen. lines had
left the city, and the employees Of the Nash
vile and Northwestern railroad concluded
the Receiver did not intend to pay them
their just dues, they addressed brief note
to Gov Brownies, asking him to interfere
70 secure 70 them lheir pay On Che 2Osh
the Gov ernor replied 10 them in letter
which is subjOined. A more hearlless and
cruel reply was never made To the appeals
Of a needy and distressed people. His
charge that these outraged men are insti-
gated by sRsbelsp 10 the course they are
pursuing is gratuitously false Most of the
men who are now suffering from the fail
IRE Of the State to pay them their just
dues, were actively engaged during the
war on the side Of the government. As TO
the Rebel injunctions and other legal pro-
ceedings Of which the Governor complains,
he dare not allege that anything has been
done contrary to The laws Of the land. His
impotence of the law in this case shows
that he would gladly be from under the
restraints Of all law, and hold the rod OF
absolution over the whole people as he il
Ill
of the Nashville and Northwestern rail-
road. His letter shows base desire to shift
the responsibility of the condition Of the
affairs Of the Northwestern railroad from
the shoulders of the responsible parties to
those that are strangers to it.
This is Radicalism. II will use the poor
and dependent, white or black, as long as
it serves their purposes, and then Kick
them like dogs. We are glad to see that
these suffering men on the Northwestern
road have discrimination to see the object
of the Governor, and the reply to his letter,
in becoming spirit and with becoming
decency, and that they show an ability to
state their grievances, and determination
to maintain their rights that augers will
for the country, so long as it is a peoples
country.
The following is the correspondence:
