Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
Affairs I'm East Tennessee.

RHEA COUNTY, October 80, 1867.
But little interest is manifested through
out this section Of country in political mat
tiers. The people are busily engaged in re-
covering from the effects of the var, and
are now "just beginning to craM," as one
stated it.
A Presidential electoral ticket has been
nominated by the Democrats, but with no
possible hope of success; it merely pre-
serves party lines.
The large mass of the. people, including
most of the property holders, have been
disfranchised, on account of their political
sympathy with the South, by the unconsti-
tutional acts of the State Legislature.
The State affairs have been managed
with such reckless extravaganza and cor
ruption, supported and upheld by the Fede-
raj Congress, so that no redress can be OBJ
tanned, that many heretofore strong Union
men are now boldly protesting against such
usurpation and Encouragement. The taxes
are very heavy, and the condition of things
in the so-called sovereign State OF Tennes-
see is really worse than in Virginia under
a military government.
Under such system it is plainly mani
fest that the material interests of the State
can never be developed. Capitalists ere
prevented from coming into country
where such wretched mismanagement pre-
walls, while her own people are afraid to
risk their funds, even though large profits
might enure, where everything is SO I'M
settled.
The people will by no means grieve to
lose the presence of Governor Brownlow,
who succeeds to the office OF United States
senator next March.
Taking everything into consideration,
the condition Of Tennessee is probably more
distressing than that of any other State in
the Union, with the exception, perhaps, Of
Missouri. The only mitigating feature in
the case is that there are fewer negroes in
the State to add to the complexity of af-
fairs ..e ,S-. K

trous consequences of the use. Of ardent
spirits, and earnestly advised the members
Of the Conference and Church to alb
stain from the use of thing SO
antagonistic to piety and 80 great an
obstruction to the progress of Chris

Order of the Friends Of Temperance as en-
organization suited to the necessities Of the
times. .,'5 So 10y 49,.
This called forth appropriate remarks

and j. w. Wellons, all worthy members of
the Order mentioned in the report.
The committee appointed to examine the
records Of the various churches reported
that some had properly attended to their
records, while there had been some def
cheney in the records of others. The re-
port showed that the denomination was
making encouraging progress in this di-
rection. a.r.@ @aL !, J.rJ

during the morning session to examine and
report upon letter addressed to the Con-
ference stated that the letter was from
Rev. Thomas Bashaw, stating certain
grievances, and desiring.a letter of dismis-
sion and recommendation from the Confer
ence. The committee advised that he
should be allowed to withdraw on condition
of his surrendering his license to preach
with his credentials of ordination. The
report was adopted. .foi. /
The Conference passed resolution re-
curing every minister to submit an annual
report Of his labors in writing, as provided
in the Form of Government.

alone in the shady walks near the old cas-
tie of Baden. An English lord calls at her
house, and hears that she will not return
until four hours afterward. The lord hast

bracelet was ready. The lord paid 5000

Railroad Management COnsoIila.
GjOn. .-. rs


Editors Dispatch: In common with many
Of your readers, we were struck with re-
cent article in your paper upon the subject
of the Capitalization of our railway system
and while we cannot tell whether it would
be expedient to confde the management Of
our roads to Congress or not, yet we are fully
persuaded that in order to reap any of the
material benefits which our State has the
right to demand, in view of the vast sums
of money she has expended in the construc-
ton of railways, radical change in their
management is absolutely necessary TO- the
welfare of the people, and cannot be long
delayed without the positive reinquishment
Of all Of our hopes Of commercial indie
pepdence. Since the close OF the war the
necessity of o. change of policy has gra-
dually forced itself into the recognition of
the public mind. The Dispatch has re-
peatedly referred to it in the discussion of
Questions of kindred character. but never
has that journal come out SO fully in favor
of that change of policy as in the article
referred to above. In that we see CLEAN
OF light which augurs the dawn of long
day Of prosperity and happiness.
The Dispatch truly observes that econ
soIidation !" in itself is not what is desira-
BILE, except SO far as it decreases the ordi
nary expenses Of the lines affected, and that
consolidation can do nothing that cannot be
as readily accomplished withoutit provided
the right policy;in the management Of our
roads can be ascertained and put into opera
ton. Take, for instance, the three corpo-
rationss hitherto cenfded to the control of
one general management. What can it
effect beyond that that three managers could
not as readily doS Absolutely nothing. 1t
would be an insult to the general intelli-
gence to offer an argument to prove this
fact. Possibly there could be found some
individuals who are SO enthusiastic in their
devotion to consolidation that they might
venture to urge it as,a means of reducing
the expenses Of railways by obviasing the
necessity Of employing 30 many sa1aried
officers. But such assurance in favor OF it
would meet its own controYerting evidence
tintbe facts Of the case Of consolidation as
1t now stands. Therefore NE, come to the
conclusion that as q system OF management
In railways consolidation has nothing to
recommend 1t, and scould never have been
SO successfully earaied into operation but;
for o general sdesire for Q change, and q
more general raIOa Of what that change
should be. y 4sgisss4 ,3st ~ n III =
