1T Is STARTLING to look back on
Radical rule for four years ip Tennes-
see, and see what a gulf of destruction
We have escaped by obtaining at last
a Legislature of good, prudent and
true men. The public debt has been
run to forty millions, and if the Radi-
cal power had continued four years
more, the debt would have reached
eighty. Capital would have been
driven out of the State, and would
not be abundant enough TO pay a la
boring man a sleeps head and pluck
a day for his labor. All improve
ments would stop, and an exodus of
labOrers and mechanics would have
been the consequence. LabOrers can
not live where capital cannot live.
Where men with money al make
nothing with their money they will
seek some other part of the world in
which they can. And there the capt.
taIists will go TO work with their
money To build it up, and the me-
chanics and iebOEers will follow where
they can get employment, Thus our
Radical Government of high taxes,
by driving capital away, has been de-
stroying the country, while individual
effort was being made TO build it up.
Let the two Government and private
enterprise) now combine, low taxes
and resOlute effort, and we shall have
the greatest State on this continent.
Its cities and citizens will be rich as
well as its soil. LabOrers and me-
chanics, farmers and merchants, will
be- abundant, because abundantly
paid. And then our men will have
fine houses and the ladies hle car
riages, mechanics and labOrers will
have plenty of clothes, food and
wages, and every poor mans baby its
own stick of candy.

Proceedings Of the Grand Lodge of
Tennessee.

On the second day the Committee on
Foreign Correspondence made report.
which, was received and ordered to be
published with the proceedings of the
Grand Lodge. This report was prepared
by r. w. George s. Blackie, M. D.. As
sistant Grand Secretary, and embraces
the translation of Foreign Grand Bodies
in i've different Languages, and reflects
great credit upon the abilities OF its an
thor.
The following resolutions, offered bv
the Committee on Foreign Correstond-
enoe, were adopted:
/. Resotred, That the NJ. ". Grand
Lodge OF Tennessee cannot permit the
general expression OF afiectlouate sym
pathy and sincere sorrow which he entira
sisterhood OF Grand Lodges in the TTnIfe,i
states and several of those of Fnnona
have conveyed 10 them on the occasion III
the decease OF their beloved brother and
late Grand Secretary, Charles Arnold
Fuller, 10 pass without OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and that she tenders her heartfelt Thanks
for the br0therly love and friendly words
OF coincidence which they have ore and
all Of them, placed up~ontheir record
3. Resolved, That the Grand LODGE of
Tennessee views with sineerest low the
spread of the principles and practice of
.Freemasonry among the countries of the
East, the establishment of the Grand
Orient OF Greece, the dedication of nume-
rous Lodges or the Nile, and more espe-
cially the formation Of a Lodge In Run

WHY Is 1T that money is hard to be
had at sixteen per cent. per annum?
Because in Tennessee 1t takes eight
per cent. TO pay the taxes, and the use
of the money is worth more than the
eight per cent. which remains. Why
do poor men live in mean houses and
eat coarse food and wear mean clothes?
Because rents are high and food and
clothing cost high prices. And these
things are high because Radical gov
eminent gives high tariffs, high taxes,
bOundless salaries, perauisites and
waste, which must be supplied. A
State government which cannot be
supported with one-half Of one per
cent. taxation on the capital Of Its
citizens, is badly administered. A peO-
pie foolish enough voluntarily to pay
their official servants four per cent. in
taxes deserve to be ground down by
fifty. The spendthrilts do not deserve
to escape being devoured by the
sharks. The way to have money,
houses, food and clothing at reasona-
bic prices, is to put in honest officers
and reduce expenses, that tariffs and
taxes may come down. a people
taxed to death will be crushed TO death
by a superadded combination Of all
possible causes. Give US the making
of the tOxes and we care not who goes
to the Senate, or who stays away.

and press forward with energy TO
build the country with improvements,
retrench expenses, reform abuses, re-
duee tariffs and taxes, obey the Con-
stitution, and bring back prosperity
with peace. That is what the people
want, more than they want the poll
cies of men who would hang LEE, dis
able GRANT, or crush BRowNLow and
Stokes. They want to rub out such
old issues, and be done with them for
ever; and they will rub out with them
the men who attempt to press them.
The Legislature will stand up with
dignity and do the duty of the pres
ent hour as if there was no past; and
the people will sustain every man OF
them in doing 50.

II ~ not impertinently asked why
peace should be more expensive now
than It was ten years ago. Why
should the expenses Of the National
and State Governments increase be-
yond the ratio of increase of pOpula-
ton? Why should it cost four times
as much to govern Tennessee now as
IL did in 1860? Is it not the result of
making Offices for partizans TO fatten
in at the expense of the people, is it
not by giving extrayagant salaries,
Perquisites and p~ickings, is it not by
official m~alpractices, abuses, and steal
age? All this the people demand the
Legislature shall wipe out with a
strong hand.

W. hope u many readers will
bear in mind the concert for the bene-
lit of the widows and orphans of de-
ceased Confederate soldiers, which
will take place at the Theater on
Monday night next. Many or our
leading amateurs will appear on the
occasion, which should be made one
long TO be remembered, not alone for
the character Of the performances, but
tor the receipts, which, through the
generosity Of our citizens, we hope,
will be swelled to a sum sufficient to
satisfy the pressing needs of the DEEPEN
dent charges of the Confederate Relief
and Historical Society.

THKRE are a few men who are more
intent on making " Rome howlr than
on promoting the good of the coun-
Try. Some would send JOHNSON to
The Senate for the express purpose Of
boarding GRANT, and some ETHER
IDGE for the purpose OF annihilatlng
poor old palsied BRowNLow. But
the majority of the people and of the
Legislature of Tennessee are for a man
for Senator who will let by-gones go,
forget the past in seeking future good,

VIRGINIA WAXING up.

The people Of Virginia seem to think il T.
about time TO give up political distractions
ana enter uron the work Of business recon.
srucnon. IL really looks now as if a proper
railroad system will be put in operation In
tnat State, by means Of which Richmond and
Norfoik will assume the business proportions
they are fairly entitled to; and the rich bu,
unde'eloped portions of the State now having
no access to marksts will be opened up. The
Norfolk and Great Western Railroad Com.
pany and the Virginia International Land
company have lately entered into CON.
tract by which the latter company engages
70 nnd purchasers and settlers for all the sur.
plus lands lying along the projected railroad
that may be conveyed to its company i'm sub.
scrlpton for stock. This the land companv
VIII undertake 70 do chiefly by inducing and
furnishing facilities for the immigration from
Germany Of persons of suficient substance tn
enable them to become purchasers. To this end
they will proceed with all practical dispatch
70 establish agencies In Germany, and engage
the means Of transportation to Norfolk. The
means accruing from sales will 20 to the rail-
road company in aid of its fund for construc-
ton. This project seems feasible, ana prom
ises very important results.
We notice in our Virginia exchanges other
indications Of spirit of enterprise aroused
throughout the State, in the way OF d. yeIop
ing its resources and opening up its commuui :.
cations We hail these indi cations with great
satisfaction, for everything that tends to the
prosperity and development Of Virginia tends
also 10 the advantage of this District and its
parkets.

LAY DELEGATION IN THE METHODIST EPIs-
CORAL CHURCH.-There Is a very sharp con.
tIoyersy between the Christian Advocate of
New York and the North western Advocates of
Chicago, on the lay delegation question. The
subject was submitted by the last General Oon.
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal Church 70
the members of the Church, male and female,
oftwenty -one years Of age and over, and to the
annual conferences. The members have voted,
but the vote cast is very small, being less than
one-nfth OF the whole membership of the
Church, much smaller proportion than voted
In 1861, when the vote was unfavorable to lay
delegation. Although the vote cast was about
two to one In favor Of lay delegation, the New
York Advocate maintains that the vote WAS
not decisive, owing to the large number who
did not vote at all, and that the question is
really thrown back on the ministry for the de.
cision. The North western, and most OF the
other church papers are with it, takes the
ground thai the vote of the members of the
Church is decisive, and that the ministry in
the annual conferences should give 1t their
sanction
