4 PUBLIC NECESSITY.

IL a L u u H q.
We gave yesterday morning i'm a special
telegram the finding Of the Coroner's Jury
rs to the condition Of the railroad bridge
over Harpeth River near Nashville, the
scene of the recent fearful slaughter by
which fifteen and probably seventeen val
liable lives were lost and many persons
crippled for life. We give elsewhere adj
ditional facts concerning the condition of
the bridge, all of which seem to confirm
the painful impressions current in Nash
vile Immediately after the accident that
carelessness ola gross character were the
cause of the disaster We do not know
that we have n statute which will make
such offences criminal, but il not, we
should have ii at once, and 1t should he
enforced.
We know IL is very common for such
feelings to prevail after such fearful acct
dents, and too often the case that they
are forgotten soon after, but we see no
reason why men should not be held re-
sponsible criminally for the neglect of
such great trusts. The poor drunken crea-
ture who in frenzy takes single life,
atones for his crime at the gallows or in
prison. Why should not men who, to
gain greater dividends on their railroad
stock, or, through Indifference or negli-
gence, deliberately permit lives to be sac
rificed by tens, be not likewise made to
suffer for their offense? We know that
accidents will often happen, even after
great care has been exercised, but in such
cases travellers are content to take the
risks but what they have the right to
demand, and what the public must insist
upon, is that, for negligence, the proper
officers he held strictly accountable. Until
this is done there will be no safety for that
large and growing class who hourly en-
trust their lives to the care and skill of
railroad officers and their agents. U

J. Q. A.

John Quincy Adams has been for a long
time infiicting upon people of this country
periodical letters giving his views with
much apparent satisfaction on the politi-
cal questions of the day. He writes to
anybody and everybody who takes the
trouble to write TO him, and seems to give
his ideas with looseness almost reckless
He means no harm by it, the fact being
that he has Presidency ION the brain -
and this is the way the malady develops
itself.
Just now he is counting Southern SYM
pathy, displaying about as much of the
sycophant as could well be found in one
of his age. Recently he has written let
ter to Mr.. J. t. Irrelevant, the editor of an
obscure paper in Arkansas, in which we
find the following language
DEAR SIR: l cannot pass over, silently, a let
ter which gratifes me as much as yours, which
| received to-day; and yet feel shy of speak
ing to you or any citizen of the subject States"
dislike to earn the retoTt-"Oh, it is very easy
to preach; but suffer as we have and then tell
us how you feel, and we will LISTEN do try
to take it home to myself; and do not doubt
that, in similar circumstances, | should be to-
day an ''unrepentant rebel sore, angry,
beaten and defiant And with me it would
doubtless have been rs it has been with you,
that the tender mercies of reconstruction had
been harder to bear than all the horrors of in
vasive war; l should have been CALLED by
HllsPoNerllncnt, rObDcu by imported knaVery
of the pittance which the war had spared; exas-
perated by willful and persistent misrepresen-
tation, and cruelty condemned to hopeless i'm
potence for the imputed guilt Of cowardly crime
| abhorred. l should have been condemned
too, to hold my personal liberty ut the nod of
mercenary carpet-bagger or the within Of a
military sntrap.
Oh, no, he couldn't ''pass over silently"
letter coming from section where some
men recognize his claims to the Presiden-
cy. Not at all. And my dear Mr.. Treze-
want, do not doubt that in similar cir
cumstances should be to day an unre-
pentant rebel" 1t il strange how far q
| mans restless nature win sometimes lead
| him in his old age. We doubt if either
Judge Chase or John Quincy Adams can
ever enjoy the glories of heaven until they
have first tasted the joys of the White
| House. They have our sympathy. 1t is
| sad to think that two such fine old gentle
men, with personal characters so entirely
unexceptionable, are doomed to eternal
! disappointment.

Celebration nj Ball Play.
BALL PLAN, MONROE Co., Tenn

BALL PLAN, MONROE Co., Tenn,
July 9Th, 1871.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We the under
signed, have been selected rs n committee
to inform your readers that the'spirit of '76,
is not wholly dead i'm old Monroe. Accord
ing to previous announcements early on
Tuesday morning, the 4th inst, all this
side of our county was in movement for u
rousing celebration of the glourious 4th at
Ball Play meeting house, and by 9 O'Clock
in the forenoon, the old church hill was
covered with old and young, male and fe-
male of every faith, both religious and POI
litical.
Proper arrangements were then made for
the conduct Ofthe celebration Isaac Lind
say was appointed Marshall.
Next the Declaration of Independence
was read in most emphatic and mastery
manner by WIN. b. Milligsn, who took oc-
casion to pronounce it the most remark
able and wonderfully perfect paper, that
ever eminated from any political body of
men.
After this, there followed an Grafton by
i. w. Burge, Esq, which was most pecu-
liarly appropriate to the occasion, and in
which the speaker eschewed everything
partizan, and most eloquenty maintained
that the perpetuity of this great North
American Republic is a matter in which
we are all of one mind, and hence can all,
and should all unite to celebrate its birth
day.
When Mr.. Burge had concluded his ora
ton, the crowd broke up for social COM
mingling and the enjoyment of an excel
lent basket dinner, in the preparation and
abundance (which the ladies made mani
fest that they well understood whereupon
such an occasion most depends for its sue
cess.
After the repast, all departed i'm good hui
NOR and good order.

A SUGGESTION.

A pretty thorough canvass of Chatta-
noogR enables us to make some sugges-
tions to Ramage which may enable him
hereafter to give array more than one of
the twenty-five copies of the Press and
Herald he sends forgratuitous distribution.
Some years ago, las we were informed by UNI
questionable authority, when Ramage was
publishing the american Union at Chatta-
nooga, he went to certain Northern men,
and among others to the present honored
Mayor of the city, and claimed that as
Northern men they ought to support his
paper. 1t was true, he said, he was pub
fishing Democratic paper, but that was
only a matter of business, for he was at
heart a sincere Republican. He was pub
fishing Democratic paper because it paid
better. He thought, therefore, that North
ern men, aware of his real sentiments,
ought to support him. There are now
several thousand more Northern men in
Chattanooga than there We're then, and we
have to suggest to Ramage that, if he
would &c 70 them in person and persuade
them that he was still making ahtofchdH-
disc Of his principles, that. he was still
only publishing Democratic paper for
money, he could possibly give away a few
more than he is now doing. A hint to the
wise il sufficient 30.

NOT HARMONIOUS

The NEW departure" has been product
i've of anything but harmony in the DEM
ocratic ranks The two factions-one for
the new departure and one against-are
going for each other in highly refreshing
way. A. II. Stephens refuses to accept the
Pennsylvania Democracy as friends or
allies, " and denounces them as seekers af-
ter the spoils" and declares that he will
have no alliance with them. He pours hot
shot into the ranks of the new departure
lists, through the columns of his paper, the
Atlanta Sun, in way that is lively. The
Selma Argus assaults the Montgomery i'd
vertiser, clearly charging that that jour
nal is not keeping the faith, and is un-
worthy ofthe name Democrat. The Advcr-
tiser retorts and says that the support the
Argus gives any party or question is more to
be feared than its opposition. Toombs and
Davis swear they will accept nothing, and
straightway the Memphis AUdldRche and
Henry S. Foote assert that their wild va
carries are not endorsed by the party. The
appeal pitches into the Avalanche fordoub
ing the favorite leader of the Confederacy,
the Avalanche classes the appeal with the
most rabid of the radical journals. 1t is
an interesting fight, and the country may
hope it will prove regular Kilkenny af-
fair. If so Vallandigham and his "new de-
parture" is immortalzed.

The Nashville Disaster.

In addition to the verdict of the Coro-
ner's jury that hc'1 an inquest over the
body of Mrs. Burns, the gist of which was
given in our special dispatch yesterday
morning, we find the following statement
in the Union and AnericdR'
WHAT rs SAID OF THE BRIDGE.
We publish the following as the sub
stance of statements made to us yesterday
by several gentlemen who have visited the
scene Of the disaster:
One of the party who went down with
the Coroner's jury on Tuesday, Is said,
while examining the bridge, to have run
the wood of the bridge, and the Coroner
has in his possession piece of timber said
to have been taken from the bridge, which
no one would hesitate to say was very rot
ten. A gentleman living near the river
even says that he saw grass four or five
inches long growing from the deCayed TIM
bers. We give these merely as the state
ments of gentlemen who have either visit
ed the wreck, or who live i'm the vicinity,
and from our knowledge of their character
we consider their reputation for veraeity
very good. Another gentleman says that
in many places the wood work around the
! iron bolts had rotted away. But the report
of the jury, composed of mechanics, one
OF them bridge builder, gives their opin-
| ion In regard 70 the condition OF the tim
bers, and renders further comment uupee
eSsary.
