THE GREAT BEGGAR.

Poor old dame Lincoln, the most per
sistent beggsr of modern times, has hard
time in getting pension from ''the best
government the world ever saw After
much electioneering and whipping in, a
resolution was adopted by the House of
Representatives the other day directing
her name to be put upon the pension roll,
with an annual pension of three thousand
dollars, but the cruel Senate is not dis
posed to crafty the old dame. Mr.. Ed
munds, of Vermont, reported the resolu-
ton to the Senate with a recommends
ton that it be indefinitely postponed. The
st. Louis Republican says: Senator
Edmunds was right in opposing the pen
sion to Mrs. Lincoln, and urging his col
leagues to wait the production by the
committee of certain evidence bearing on
the subject. When that evidence is
brought forward we do not think the Sen
ate can conscientiously appropriate any
more of the public money for the use of
the widow of the late President. If our
memory serves, she received at the time
of her husbands death one years sal
airy in advance, S25, 600; which, with his
Springfield, Illinois, estate and other
private resources, left her not far from
$50, 600 in cash or its equivalent. She

DECATUR AND GUNTERsvHLLE
RAHIROAn

RAHLhOADe
Before the war great deal of favorit-
ism was shown in the location of rail
roads, which were frequently carried
hither and thither to please certain par
ties and cliques. Such was the case in
the location of the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad, which ought never 10 have
crossed the river at Decatur, and again at
Bridgeport, but ought to have remained up
on the south side.of the river as far as Gun
tersYille, and continued from there 10
Chattanooga, or Atlanta, or united its
fortunes with the Coosa and Tennessee
River railroad. This would have made
the most direct communication between
the Mississippi river and the Gulf, and in
the track, too, in which common sense,
topography, economy and every other con-
sideration intended it torun. By crossing at
Decatur, it loses its character of the Mem
phis and Charleston road entirely, as it
there runs northward and through coun-
try interested with innumersble water
courses and trestle-works, which might all
have been avoided by keeping on the
south side of the river. Col Samuel Tate,
the former President of the road, was well
aware of this mistake and tried to remedy
it by continuing the road where it proper
ly belonged; but in the effort of doing so
he met much opposition, and finally gave
up his position-partly in consequence of
it. Since the already graded road from
Guntersville to Gadsden is now about to
be completed, the question will come up
again on which side of the river it will
best connect with the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad. Some are in favor
of bridging the Tennessee river again at
Guntersville, and doubling the mistake
already once made, and which can now be
remedied by continuing the road on the
south side of the Tennessee river from
GunteIsville TO Decatur, less than
fifty miles, through an excellent and
level country already twice surveyed.
We understand that all disinterested all
road men are in favor of this route which
will also afford a. new feeder to our city.
Some of the corporators of this road,
Capt. Freeman, Col. ]. J. Giers, and
some others of that road living in Morgan
county, Ala, have been in our city for
the purpose of setting our people right
upon this subject, and they seem to be
determined to do all in their power SO
that justice shall be shown to the people
in their county.

ESABOUT THIS TIME LOOK OUT
FORo NEWS FROM SALT LAKE.

FORo NEWS FROM SALT LAKE.
There is hitch in the Senate on the
Mormon question, and outrages in Utah
are in demand. The Senate Committee
on Territories on Wednesday considered
the House bill abolishing polygamy, the
point of discussion being whether the pro-
posed legislation on the measure shall be
retroactive, or to take effect in future.
On this the committee is divided, and
some of the members doubt the expe-
diency of adopting very harsh legislation,
or of provoking hostilities. 1t is said a
similar feeling prevails among leading
Senators. Something is needed to spur
up these tagging Senators, and in this
connection, the st. Louis Republican
says: eve hardly need to warn our read
ers against attaching much Importance to
political kilograms from Salt Lake at the
present time. These kilograms are only a
part of the machinery now being used to
create public sentiment in favor of the
Cullom bill, and to justify whatever
measures the government may choose
TO inaugurate for the abolition of poly
gamy. Brigham Young is certainly not
such an arrant fool as to circulate private
notices ordering his people to meet in the
ward school houses of the city for mill
tary drill. He knows that the Radical
party of the country need but the smallest
possible excuse to initiate a wholesale
crusade against the Mormons and the OBJ
jectiOn&ble social features of their creed,
and he is we think rather too wise to
furnish that excuse. Neither do we be-
lieve that in any event the Mormons will
fight. They know that armed resistance
to the power of the United States would
be simply madness, which could termin-
ate only in utter destruction to themselves
and their property. They may possibly
abandon polygamy altogether, and turn
their superf1uous wives and children out of
doors as beggars and bastards; but if we
may judge from their past record, the
Mormons are much more likely to choose
voluntary repatriation instead, and, leav-
ing behind that fair valley which they
have redeemed from barrenness and bar
barism, seek out another home in some as
yet untrodden Wilderness

THERE is a manifest disposition on the
part of Radical leaders in some of the
Southern States to precipitate a collision
of races. Under the advice of Radical
politicians in Baltimore, the negroes Of
that city will not use the street cars pre-
pared for their accommodation, in accord
snce with the decision of Judge Giles.
They will ride with white people, or not
at al. This bringing the races into col
lision for selfish, political advancement of
a rarty is the work of the Radicals, and
the consequences, whatever they may be,
will cling to their skirts.

SPRING FAIR, 1870.

THE FIRST SPRING
1 Fair and Stock Sale of
the Tennessee Agricultural
and Mechanic Association
will take place on the Fair
Grounds at Nashville on the
18th, 18th, 10Th, Goth and
'21st days of May, 1870.
Liberal premiums are offered
on all the leading classes of
Live Stock, Agricultural I'M
plements and Machinery, and
also on Fruits, Flowers and
Vegetables. Competition in
vited from all the States.
Sale of Stock at public auc-
ton on each day of the Fair.
Persons holding stock of any
grade, class or kind, which
they wish to dispose of, and
persons wishing to purchase
stock of any kind, will do
well to attend these Great
Stock Sales. Large quantities
of stock of all kinds will, in
all probability, change hands.
The Grounds have been great
ly improved, and the Direc-
tory will spare no pains to
make the Exhibition attrac-
tive and useful. No charge
will be made for exhibiting
any article or animal, nor for
bringing them into the
Grounds. The premiums for
trotting stock have been mod
flied from Easiest" to "best."
But speed is one of the tests,
and the lovers OF fast drlv-
ing will doubtless be highly
entertained. The lovers of
the chase have rare sport in
store for them. A red and a
gray fox and two deer will be
turned loose in the Grounds
during the Fair, pursued by
a pack of thirty hounds and
five huntsmen. Let every
body come! Trains will leave
the Chattanooga depot every
half hour during the week.
Fare to Grounds, 10 cents.

THE RECONSTRUCTI0 OUT
LOOK.

One of the editors of the Jonesboro
Herald and Tribune has been to Wash
ington Spying out the land" and he does
not appear to entertain very sanguine
hope that Tennessee will be reconstructed.
In letter from Washington, dated April
26, he writes:
'Many letters are daily received
here by members of Congress and
others, from persons in Tennessee,
expressing Impotence at what seems to
them the unnecessary delay on the part
of Congress in taking action on the
Tennessee question, and asking advice
as to what is best TO be done in the
coming elections, provided for in the new
Constitution of Tennessee. To all such
we can but reiterate the advice which we
have given them in the past; organize the
party in every district and county, select
good men for candidates to the different
positions you are called upon TO fill, put
them in the field and then go to work and
elect them. Work just as though such
thing as Congressional interference never
was heard of. If you wait for that you
may wait forever and lose all the advan-
tages you now hold.

THE reports of the crops in the vari-
Gus sections Of the country are favorable.
In Indiana the wheat crop gives promise
of more than an average harvest. of the
growing winter wheat in the northern
part of Missouri, the crop viii probably
aprove failure, while in the northwestern
counties north of the Missouri river a fair
average yield may be expected. There
will be more than usual demand at the
close of the year owing to the famine in
Palestine and the improbability of large
crop in Russia. The accounts from
Western New York are favorable, and it
is stated that winter wheat looks 80 per
cent better than in May, 1869. The re-
ports from the South are very favorable,
and if we shall have a good season, the
crops will be unusually fine.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Radical paper in the Northwest, says of
the income tax, that il ''discriminates
against thrift" that it is tax on every
mans grocery and butchers BILL on
money he is compelled to spend for the
necessaries of life, Switch can not be
justified with a treasury holding $780,
10000 of annual surplus, besides re-
ceiying the tax to pay the interest on a
debt already paid.

The Wear and Tear of Business Life.

The cares and labors of business life are apt to
tell severely upon the health and constitution of
the ardent, energetic business man, and when the
need of some sustaining agent is felt, stimulants
that cause only a temporary exhilarstion, and
leave the system in a state Of partial collapse when
their first effect has passed of, are too often re-
sorted to. AS certainly as fire leaves behind it
residuum of ashes, the use of the adulterated IL
qucrs Of commerce produces premature exhaus-
ton and decay. Touch them MT. Tone and reg

RADICAL rule is the same every where.
A statement of the financial condition of
Washington under the rule of Mayor
Bowen (RadIcaD is made in the Wash
ington papers. 1t states that the corpOr-
alton has overdrawn its cash account in
bank $4,000. In addition, there are
SO, 900 worth Of unpaid checks, and a
floating debt of $500, 600, in addition 10
the funded debt. The amount of uncol-
lected tax to meet the above is set down
at $780, 900. This is a repetition of the
Radical operations in Nashville and other
Southern cities.
