A correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, writing from Nashville under
date Of March Is, says:
Since my last letter have been in
Humboldt, Paris, Clarksville, Spring
field, and Nashville, from whence
date this letter. 1 have nowbeen In
Tennessee between two and three
weeks, aud have had occasion to en-
ter from six to twenty law offices
daily; have simply introduced my
self and business--hailing from Chi
cago-- and have, in every instance,
been received IN the most urbane and
cordial manner. Two gentlemen of
the bar, while holding me by the
hand, remarked: From Chicago,
ELI =? Well, resided In your city sew
crai months;'' adding laughlngly,
q at Camp Douglass sGsrs.-,
T" Well, how did youlike Chicago ?"
asked.
ooh, mighty well there are some
whole-sOuled people there, tell you !"
Those with whom have had con-
versation have been usually ex-Con-
federate soldiers, or identified in some
way with that cause, and, judging of
the many by the few, do sincerely
and firmly believe that there Is moth
ing further from the intentions ofthe
Southern people to-day than to act In
bad faith with the Government
The writer then proceeds ut some
length to give the details of his visits
to various places in Middle and West
Tennessee, with conversations with
many persons Of all vocations and
adds tu 4haea.gf
To conclude. Is Tennessee in the
fearful condition ascribed to IL by the
Radical members of Congress, and by
the Radical press of the North ? No!
A thousand times No! Oh that n
hundred fairminded Republicans from
the North could come unheralded
and unknown and travel through
Tennessee, as l am travelling, and see
for themselves how bitterly her peo.
pie are belied. And all for what p
To perpetuate the power Of corrupt
and GOd-f0rsaken party. It Is all one
stupendous lie, from the exaggerated
stories Of Kuklux Outrages down to
that latest delectable romance Of A.
j. Fletcher, in which he shricks
forth that his life Is in danger, and
calls for a military escort to take him
home to East Tennessee. His life il
as safe in the highways as mine IL,
and believe mine is as safe here MS
anywhere I'm the world. One IL
tempted, in view of all the most
atrociOus calumnies, to cry out,

ANCE COMPANY.-We call attention
to the Eleventh Annual Statement
of the st. Louis Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, published in our to-
days issue.
Although chartered In the winter
of 1888, the company reorganized
in 1850 under an amended charter.
During the war the company very
wisely contracted its business as much
as possible; bu. its progress In the
last few years has been really aston
ishing. We give these as it, assets
In round figures at the termination Of
each year of its business life:

had as much to do with its success a,
their enterprise and energy.
