We publish to-day the letter of Mr.. M.
Burns to Hon w. w. Vaughan, of the
Memphis district. Mr. Burns is an Irish
man BY birth; a plain, straightforward,
practical msn, without political educa-
ton, and without political aspirations.
He began his business life as an appren-
tice to saddler. By sticking to his bust
ness, he became the master of his trade.
he is to day known as the 'bossn ssddler
OF Nashville. AT The same time, he is
the President of the First National Bank
of our city, owned very largely by North
ern men. While this ls 60, he commands
as fully and completely the confidence of
the native Southern people IS any other
man in our midst. In short, whatever
Mr. Burns indorses is received as bank
paper, whether those accepting that paper
agree with him in religion or in politics.
Hence we may fully cay that what Dir.
Burns has said in his letter to Hon. w.
w. Vaughan viii be received by the PEG,
PIE of Tennessee, without regard to their
political pTejudiceS, as very nearly politi-
cal gosr el. 200

Gen. Stokes has been in many respects,
the most obnoxious man to the Democ-

named by the President for position in
this State, yet, IN some respects, he is the
man who commands most respect from
the people of Tennessee. lie, more than
any other, seems to strike straight out
from the shoulder, and that is what the
Tennessee people like, as Gen. Stokes
knows The ante bellum rule of the.

eording to that rule now. If
Gen. Stokes does not understand
il, he will before he has &C.

in his official capacity every time. 1t
only asks, and will demand, that he shall

TIE story has been oft repeated of the
Puritan squatters who resolved, first, that
the land belonged 10 the saints, and
second, that we are the saints. Equally
brief is the logic of Representative Co.
burn: The one great power in the coun-
try is the people; We, Congress, are the
people. Evidently Mr. Csbutn would
find no trouble in abolishing the Senate
instanter. With him, limited government
is fallacy, and constitutions are but
trammels on a free people; the Paris
Commune is the last lesson in political
wisdom. Truly, this is an age of progress
toward perdition, if we do not put
down the brakes. e--..

By the new constitution of Illinois,
laws are authorized limiting charges on
railways. Two acts of this character
have been passed by the Legislature of
that State, and are now in the hands of
the Governor. The first of these bills
divides all the railways of the Common
wealth into four classes, according TO
their gross annual earnings to the mile.
Class A includes all railroads earning over
ten thousand dollars to the mile; class B,
thOse earning between eigh: and ten
thousand dollars; class C, those earning
between four and eight thousand dollars;
and class D, all earning under four thous-
and dollars to the mile, annually. The
maximum charges per mile, for passen-
gers, are regulated as follows: for
class A, two and half cents; for class
B, three cents; for class c, four cents;
for class D, five and one half cents. No
corporation is to be permitted to collect
more than half these rates for children
under twelve years, but may add ten cents
each to the fares of those passengers who
neglect reasonable opportunity to pur-
chase tickets before entering the cars.
The other bill deals with the more deli
cate question of freight. 1t prohibits the
collection of rates for short distance
greater than those charged for longer dis
lance; it.enacis that no company shall
charge more per mile for freight over any
portion of the road than is charged equal
distances upon any other portion of it.

SOUTH CAROLINA.


Our South Carolina letter presents some
startling facts in regard to Radical rule in
that State. Its financial is as deplo1able
as its industrial condition. The bonded
debt at the beginning of the present car
pet-bag administration was about S., 900, :
600, and now it has reached the enormous
sum Of SIG, 100000 This includes en-
dorsements on railway bonds, which it is
believed the State will be compelled TO
pay.
