Railroads vs.. Eating Houses Again

LIaiifOnus vs.. E5tfng Houses Again.
Capt Henry Lyle, one Of the Con
ductors on the Eastern Division of The
L. Tenn, Va. 4 Ga. r. r., desires that
We should review tho ground travcrsed
by US in arriving at az opinion unfavor-
able to the subordinate officers of the
line with reference TO their future to
make supper time at Bristol. He as-
u es us that he has done everything
within his power to make connections
and aflirms that the difficulty lies in the
necessity which exists during the Id
season for wooding and watering, neal
Rutlege. This delay, it is said, canno,
be allowed 10 the Western bound train,
which ienve Bnstol.t 6.a7- A, NJ !, and
hence must be attended to by the up
train due at $40 z. NJ.
1t is also claimed that the Va. & Tenn
Road is equally responsible for tho dis
appointment to the travelling public F;
that the Tenn. Road has during the
last Summer and Autumn given break
fast time at tue expense of its schedule
to accommodate the Va road in its over
consumption Of time, and that the lattOr
should now wait sufficiently long to al
low supper time, instead of running
out exactly upon schedule time. In
other words it is claimed that .duliuc
warm weather Bristol was made sues
cossful breaRfcst poin, through tue ac.
commodating disposition Of the Tenn
Conduc ois aud that a similar DISPOSE
ton upon the part of the va. Conduc-
tors would now solve satisfactorily the
supper question. We have been shown
q telegram from Maj. Jackson, Saper
intenden, Of the Tenn. Tue, requesting
under date of the 10th, that Capt Lyle
should, whenever practicable, run his
train exactly upon schedule time.
This matter is, however, yet uncor-
tecied and is making very heavily against
the line, aud our columns are open to
all parties seeking proper remedy.

1nE memorial of the Tennessee Rad

The memorial of the Tennessee Rad
i;al Congressmen is curious parer
It acknowledges that a majority of the
citizens OF Tennessee were disfranch sed
and calls upon Congress to come to the
rescue of the spoilers. It is an odd
chapter in the history of republican
government and queer comment upon
reconstruction. That men can admit
that The people were DISTINGUISHED aud
that none but their partisaus could vote,
that they held all the offices, passed and
made all laws, that ihc people were their
pri oners, bound hand and foot, and
thon say they can't keep them under,
uat they are defrauded out Of an cleo.
'lou is singular confession aud requires
no small degree os impudenee.
