The EUening Post is nothing unless
it is unfair and deals in misrepresen-
tatiOn. 1t says we seek to cast sus-
picion upon the recent action of the
Finance Committee in connection
with the hypothecation of the Little
Rock Railroad stock owned by the
city, and speaks of Our "pr0teSsed"
uneasiness. We did not seek to cast
suspicion, we simply stated a fact
which we repeat, that the hypOtheca-
ton of the stock was accomplished in
the dark; and we now say, what was
understood at the City Hall on Tues
day, that certain Aldermen failed to
be present at the meeting of the Board
with a view to avoid the explanations
of the transaction to which the people
are entitled, and which we again de-
mand. We have not made, and make
no comments upon the First National
Bank. 1t is the business of the Off
GERS of that institution to make all the
money they can. Making lOan 10 III
dividuals, as well as corporations, is a
principle means of its accomplishing
so desirable a result for its stockhOld-
ers. we do not think that in this
transaction it has been specially mind
full of the city of Memphis. On the
contrary we presume it has had an
eye single to the main chance, and
that there is profit presently or pres
pectively in a transaction which puts
beyond Our reach the Little Rock
Railroad stock of the city. But that
is the business of the Bank. What
we want to know is for what, and on
what terms, has this stock been hy-
pothecated. VIII the Finance Com
mittee tell us tomorrow? We are re-
ally uneasy about it.

position be applied once in
three years. We think this sug-
gestion is practical and pecu-
liarly applicable at the present
time. As has been stated before,
the first pavement on Jefferson street
was laid in 1860, in 1868 it was re-
ported in good order, but in 1867 it
had so far decayed as to require an
entire new pavement, showing that
when it once begins to decay its de-
struction is rapid. What is the present
condition of the Nicolson pavement?
1t is in just the condition to require
and properly receive a good, generous
coating of composition to fill the pores
and the cracks ~occasioned by shrink
age, and protect it from the al
~ternate effects of sun and rain; such
coating to be applied during the
hot season, when the shrinkage is
the greatest, at farthest prior to
| the first of October. If vegetable
tar can be procured it will be
preferable on many accounts, among
Others that ii is an efficient dis
i~nfectant. Unless something is done
soon decay will commence, and it is
well understood, by those ~conversant
with the subject, that it is much easier
to prevent decay in wood than ar
rest its progress after it once takes pos
session.
Now let US look at the interest in
volved. We believe we are correct in
stating that eighteen hundred thou
sand dollars have been expended in
Nicolson pavement, at a cost of, say,
four dollars per yard, which we be-
lieve is under the estimate. If we
estimate fifteen cents per yard for
the top dressing, to be applied once
in three years, the cost for each
year will only be II per cent, of origi-
nal cost. Surprising that we allow
nine years for the pavement TO last
without any expenditure for protec-
ton, and eighteen years with the
top dressing, (and we confidently
believe it will last that length of
time), for the expenditure OF
22l per cent. of the original cost
for the whole time of eighteen years
we shall have nine years additional
use of the pavement. Who would con-
struct eighteen hundred thousanddol
lars worth of wooden buildings, give
them one coat of paint, and then say,
You are fnished-take are of your
selves?" The dressing of the pave
ment, when it is laid, is like the pri'
ming or first coat of paintto the house
when finished, and every additional
coat, applied at proper intervals, is
bound to contribute to its preser-
walton.
We think our deductions are drawn
from facts and proper reasoning; and
that the property holders who have
been so heavily taxed for the pave.
ment will be the first to encourage an
effective method for its preservation.

THE NICOLSON PA EILENT!

LII @N1SNL%CO-f u
Much has been said about the prac-
ticability and use of the Nieolson
pavement. Its merits, as well as
those of other kinds were fully
discussed during the year that
the contracts were Let for paw
ing the streets, and much pains
taken in obtaining information from
other CT tiles (where the different
pavements had been tested) as to
the most practical kind to use, taking
into consideration durability, comfort
oftravel, wear and tear Ofvehicles, and
cost. Since that time abOutten lineal
miles of Nicolson pavement have been
laid at a cost say of 81, SOC, O0O-or eX-
ceeding 81 per square yard.
We do not propose in the present
article to discuss the merits of the
Nicolson or any other kind of pave
ment as to cost or comfort of travel.
The cost is shown by figures. The
question of comfort of travel,
wear and tear to vehicles, and
the effect on animals employed there
by, have been too well demonstrated
during the last two years for us to en-
large upon the subject.
Assuming, from all the infor-
nation that we can obtain, and
from our personal observation, that
the Nicolson pavement in its pres
ent state BARRING a few defects) is the
best and most comfortable nowin use,
the question which we pro-
pose to discuss is, how it may
be best preserved from decay?
Our attention has been called to the
subject, by reading an abstract
of the yearly report of Mr.. FRAN
CTS FOSTER, City Engineer, for the year
1867. 1t appears from this report that
the NicOlson pavement was laid on
Jefferson street in 1860, that in 1863 an
examination of the same was made by /
a coRmittee of the Board of Alder
men, Who reported the pavement in
good %conditiOn; and that the
reported in 1867, four years
afterwards, that a large portion of the
pavement bloclts were decayed, and
while that portion of the plank
.ng or road bed under the defective
blocks was deca.ged, the road bed I'M
Ter the sound blocks was in a perfect
tate of presel walton, thus demon
trating the pr aeticability and impOr-
ance of surface protection.

This gentleman, has, we under

pendent candidate for Senator, from
the District composed of the counties
of ~Lauderdale, Madison, Haywood
and Upton. We hope his support
will be confined to the Radical party.
The Conservatives cannot afford to
throw away a single vote; nor as lit
tie al they afford to give the
least cOuntenance to any other than
the regular nominee of their Conven-
ton at BrOwnsville-D. C. SLAUGH-
TER. We have to cope with a wiley
and INSCRIPTIONS enemy, and on the
decisive day of contest must present
a united front. Mr.. MCCALL has no.
claims upon the people of his District
that should lead them from the sup
port Of the nan they have selected as
their Standard bearer. He cannot
present to them any considerations
that will have the weight of a
feather as against those which in
duced them to select Mr.. SLAUGHTER.
Neither his past services nor present

now that the issue has been fairly

uere About Longstreet.

The appointment of the second IN
command of the defunct Confederacy,
to an important Iofice at New Orleans,
continues to excite much comment. A
letter writer at Washington says of
him:
He was an original, vociferous, and
very influential secessi0nist. He was
educated "at the Government expense"
las it is called), at West Point. Threw
mn his commission in the United States
army, after swearing allegiance to the
Government" and voluntarily 'Jeined
the rebellion" Beyond all this, he
probably did more than any other man
in the whole South to take over the wa
veriug, and make up the army which
was seeking the life of this glorious
NATION" the bulk of whom, for follow
| ing his advice, are now disfranchised ef
even q worthless vote!
lam not unmindful that the logician
of the Radical organ here justities the
action of the Grant Senators in their
vote upon this confirmation upon dis
tinct and very different grounds. He
. goes upon luO uOIJllhO Va
Assuming that the confirmation OF
| LOngstreet was in Difference to his per
sOnal relationship TO the tribe sf the
Dents, logical Forney dilates as follows;
"But there is another view OF the
matter. While the President distin-
guishes Longstreet as Naval Officer at
! New Orleans, he appoints Mr.. JOubert,
a colored citizen of that metropolis, te
All important position in the Internal
Revenue: Mr.. Wilder, a freedman,
Postmaster of Columbia, South Carroll
ma, and makes two COlored soldiers,
citizens of this city, Magistrates of the
District. How any Republicans, il
view of such contrast, can find fault
with Longstreet's appointment, must
be accounted for on the hypothesis that
they did not reflect upon the steady
care with which President Grant has
kept in view all his obligations alike to
his country, his party and himself"
Here is a"Roland for an Oliver" with
a vengeance The "swap"-Joubert for
LongstreeU-I own, however, is not
fair trade, even with the negro Post
master at tho capital of South Carolina
and the two African Magistrates in this
city thrown in as ballast. The Con-
federate General surely values himself
at higher figure than this.
