done. He had heard that within ten
days the authorities of Pittsburg had
been compelled to take up the Nichol-
son, superceding it with the Belgian
pavement. He had particularly noticed
this pavement in certain streets in New
York, and was not at all impressed in
its favor.
Mr.. Lyon said if parties wanted
wooden pavements he had no obiec-
tions, but he did insist in giving all
parties q chance to bid, and not confne
it to one particular party.
Mr. Gray agreed with Dr. Woodward.
He thought the Nicholson pavement
was humbug. He would guarantee
that Messrs. Crane, Tubbs & Co. would
do as good if not better work than the
Nicholson pavement. He wanted all
parties to have an even chance.
The ayes and noes being called, the
motion to strike out was confectionery

DEAR SIR: The engineering party en-

Covington on Saturday last.
In accordance with your instructions
to ascertain the "shortest and best

grade, between Memphis and Covington"

have made q careful examination and
instrumental survey of the country to be
passed over, and fini that although it is

especially the ridges dividing the Wolf
aud Loosahatohie and Big Creek, line
can be obtained with maximum gradi-
ent of for,y-seven feet per mile, ard
that for only short distances and with re-
markedly light curvature. 1t will not be
necessary to adopt curve of less radius
than 1910 feet. The length of the sur
yeyed line, from its initial point near the
plank road bridge over Wolf river to Gov
ington, is "a 70 100 miles. An air line
between these points measures "a &c 100
miles, showing the railroad line to be
only 400 feet logger than an air line.
Much of the heaviest work shown on
the profile can lie avoided in the final
location without increasing the grade,
and with but slight increase Of length
aud curvature, should it be deemed expe-
dent to do so.
The maximum grade used is less than
on any other road in Tennessee, of equal
length, which, in addition to the very
light curvature and close approximation
in length to an airline, will insure such
speed, economy and safety in the trans
portation Of freight add passengers as
will DEFY successful competition,

tennessee and the Franchise Law.

The first act in the drama restoring
Tennessee to her old position in the Fed
eral Union was the appointment of Ar
drew johnson military Governor OF the
State by President Lincoln. This was
intended as a preparatory step previous
10 calling a convention to restore the
people to all their civil rights. 1t was
a difficult matter TO have an election, be-
cause the entire country, with the excep-
ton of few military posts, was IN the
nossession of the Confederstes still the
Unionists of the State would not be
daun,ed by such obstacles. They were
resolved on having the State back again
in the Union, even il it was not in ae-
cordsnce with the forms and prescribed
usages heretofore.
A few men got together in Nashville.
styling Themselves convention, Tor the
purpose Of amending the constitution
and setting the State government again
on its legs. Bat be it remembered that
almost every one of that august body
had at some time in the past given bis
adhesion 10 the Confederate Govern
meut. They had either deserted the flag
or heen kicked out Of Office for incom-
potency. Aud yet such a set would sit
down at the capital Of a great State to
make constitutions for q highly intelli-
gent and brave people. Indeed glory
has departed from our midst"
Now, the very constitution under which
this so-styled convention met did not
recognize or prescribe the right of this
assemblsge. The act was in itself
revolutionary, and wanted the color
of law. Why did they not at
once declare themselves the people in
convention, with powers to make an
entire new constitution. iastead, as they
express it, q convention to amend the
constitution. The convention at Nash
vile had no legal existeuce, and only
sxcired the right of revolution, which
thsy did to the fullest extent We have
some Of these beautiful doings in the
present franchise law Of governing the
people in this State at present. That
would-be convention gave the power to
the first Legislature that should assemble
under the amended Constitution to
determine and regulate the right of fran
chase. This was an extraordinary stretch
of power, and went beyond every Samp-
sonian effort heretofore attempted. That
a body with delegated powers only
could delegate to some other body not in
existence the rights that they might
alone exercise is new precedent in
law, and could only be done by men Of
the Radical party that are SO loyal in
sentiment. The history of this franchise
law is, doubtless, familiar to all. Every
one knows the frequent patchings up and
re-enacting of the law by subsequent
Legislatures, that the power of the State
might BE- retained ia the hands Of few
desertors and vsgabonds. The constitu-
tionaliiy of this DISTINGUISHING law
is now under consideration before
the Supreme Court and we have
little doubt, if law is what il was previous
to the rebellion, but that the present
franchise enactment in Tennessee will
be declared void, and the disfranehised
Of the State restored to their rights.

Il was very much to be hoped by the

stop him from further participation in
