TIE ONLY PLEDGE To GIVE.

At the banquet given to ex President
JOHNSON, by the city of Baltimore, Gov.
BOWIE, Of Maryland, took occ asion to
say that speaking for the people OF
Maryland, he assumed to say to Gen.
"GRANT that his administration should
Z" receive no fsctioUs opposition from
81 them, but 8 fair and candid trial, and,
/" il deserving, a cordial and generous
Z" support"
This is the sentiment Of the peo-
pie Of the South, and if Gen. GRANT
go chooses he may test it by the mani
iestation Of 8 spirit Of fair play that viii
be in keeping with his desire for peace.
If tie President will restore the Govern
nent to the condition under which
Cur people achieved an unWontcd
prosperity aud enjoyed the full
est, Constitutional liberty /; il he
will lift from off our shoulders the incu-
bus Of Radieallsm and relieve the South
Of the presence Of the horde Of carpet
bsggers who are eating up her substa2ce
and p~lundering her treasures, il he will
encourage the harmony without which
there can he no real unity, then ne may
be a sured o. the support Of the people Of
Tennessee and Of the South in q way a.
cordial and hearty as ever distinguished
them.

LITTLE RoCK RAILROAD

Our readers will doubtless be glad to
learn, as we do upon good authority,
that the Arkansas Legislature will more
than likely refuse TO concur in the bill
recently introduced with q view to pre-
vent the Little Rock Railroad being ben
Gifted by the act endorsed by the people
for the subsidy of ali the railroads Of that
STATE. This is SIS it should be. While
arrangements might and could have
been made to finish the road without
State aid or further subscriptions from
corporate bodies, it would only have
been at the expense Of an embarrassment
OF its future that, sl things considered,
it were well to avoid. The SO, 600 per
mile proposed by the Legislature in the
sct of lsst fall, will therefore come in
good time, and be used greatly to the
advantage OF the enterprise. The con-
tractors for the construction of the
middle division sre, we understand,
busily at work. They have the
iron for every mile Of it purchased
aud most OF it in hand. The bridge over
the ST. Francis, they say, will be finished
by the first Of May, and several noted
bridge builders srs inspecting the site
with q view to make bids for the con-
~struetiol Of the oae to be thrown across
White river. Everything bids fair for
the completion OF the road within the
next twelve months.

Whatever else President GRANT may

ton of the old sdsge that charity should

to tie last generation, and we have no
doubt that his gallantry has prompted

business in Sc. Louis, is the only n Of

press have undertaken the task of hunt

who are growing curses, not loud but
deep, upon the extent to which he &C
knowledges his kinship and friendship.

SORGHUM.

We take the liberty Of suggesting to
our planting friends, that the troubles in
Cuba have had the effect TO advance she
Price Of sugar and check its production,
and that nOw is 3 favorable time for
them to engage largely and
lively in the making Ct sugar and syrup
from sorghum. During the war the per-
lection reached in the manufacture Of
both threatened to supsrcede Louisiana
aud Cuba, and more than q farmer
became famous for products that at pres
ent are as scarce in the South as before
sorghum was heard Of. Now that the
planters and farmers Of the South have
determined on g diversifcation Of crops
ss the surest road to profitable returns
for their labor, we hope they will CON
slider this subjeet of sorghum sugar and
moissses, and engage in the growth
and manufacture Of both to al ex-
tent that will Increase Their exeheeuers
aud add to the gold-pTodueing crops Of
the country.

Departments are OverTun. Every train
brings new additions, and IL the rate OF
increase continues the city will not hold
it's visitors by the end OF the month.
Such crowds Of Office seekers were eve
known before. 1t il otlikely, however,
that they will remain for any time, for
the appointments will be disposed OF du-
ring the coming week with astonishing
rapidity, and every Office filled will take
on an average twodozen people from the
city.
THE APPOINTMENTS
Outside the Cabinet do not suit the poll
tieians any better than the first Cabinet
did, sAd mutterings are made IN every
hand, not only In the streets and in no.
tells, but by members and Senators, and
the cases are not exceptional. It is said
an immense stack of nominations have

THE NICHOLSON PAVEMENT TAX ON
UgC


As the Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
meet this evening, we beg to remind the
Finance Committee that the public look
to them to make a report to that body
favoring a remission Of the Nicholson
pavement tax to the churches Of all de-
nominations; and also that they look to
the Board for q confirmation Of the re-
port. Aside from the fact that such q
course will be but confirming to the
general policy governing public bodies
towards churches, in all questions Of tax
alton, there are abundant reasons Why
the Board should grant the prayer of the
petitioners in the present case, all Of
which are ably and fully set forth in
that document. 81 far as we are sd-
vised, their is no difference of opinion
with our people upon the subject, and We
believe that, by sceeding to what is re-
gsrded SIS a reasonable request by the
several religious bodies in our city, the
Board OF Aldermen will add much to
the eelat they have so far achieved for
difference to public opiRiOn.

It is an idle wind that blows nobody

affairs in Cuba has so demoralized the
labor snd industries Of that island as to
Induce fears for the sugar crop Of this
ye2r. The consequence is the growth Of
sugar in Louisiana is to De much in
creased over last year by the accession Of
capital and enterprise from abroad.
Plantations that a year ago changed
hands for little OF nothing are now held
at prices FIVE times the amount that then
purchased them. Gentlemen engaged
in the sugar refinery business are aware
that at present prices sugar is the most
valusble of the products Of the soil OF
this Continent, hence many OF them
from New York and Baltimore are in

posed shall be conducted on an econOm-
zeal basis, and made highly Temunera-
