A SUGGESTION.

A pretty thorough canvass Of Chatta-
nooga enables us to make some sugges-
tons to Ramage which may enable him
hereafter to yire array more than one of
the twenty-five copies of the Press and
Herald he sends for gratuitous distribution.
Some years ago,as we were informed by I'M
questionable authority, when Ramage was
publishing the american Union at 0hatta-
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 matter of business, for he was at
heart a sincere Republican, He was pub
Listing a 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 were then, and we
have to suggest to Ramage that, if he
would go to them in person and persuade
them that he was still making a Berchar,-
disc of has principles J. that he was still
only publishing a Democratic paper for
money, he could possibly give away a few
more than heis now doing A hint to the
wise is sufficient.

GEN. GEORGE H. THOMAS.

The people of Tennessee, those of them
who remained loyal to the Government
during the late war, will never cease to re-
spect the memory of the gallant soldier and
patriot, whose name heads this. article
With feelings of pleasure we learn, that an
effort is being made to perpetuate his men,
DRY by the erection of suitable monu-
ment, the funds to he raised by private
contribution from those who feel disposed
to lend their aid thereto. We know that
the thousands Of gallant, boys in blue, y
who served in his commands during the
war Of the rebellion, will esteem it high
privilege to contribute small amounts to
be used for the purpose mentioned. We
say shall amounts because we presume
there are so, many who Will wish
to do SO, that it will be unnecessary
for, any one to contribute largely,
1t is a fitting way for his late COM
rades in arms to express their continued
admiration Of the old hero, who "rever
made mistake or lost a battle,n rotwith-
standing he is, gone to the = bourne from
whence no traveller returns" The place
where the mortal remains of Gen, George
H. Thomas rest should ever be held sacred
by patriots and soldiers, and we rejoice at
the movement above alluded to. We will
dc, anything in our power to render the
movement successful.

A PUBLIC NECESSITY.

We gave yesterday morning in a special
telegram the finding of the Coroner's Jury
as toItlle 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 ana 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 statute which will make
such offences criminal, but if not, we
should have it at once, and it should be
enforced. ..-... -.- f'.,.t..r. .r r..fr
We know it 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 negh-
gence, deliberately permit lives to be sac
rificed by tens, he 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 be held strictly accountable. Until
this, is done there'will beno safety for that
large and growing class who hourly en-
trust their lives to the care and skill of
railroad Officers. and their agents. =

n WHAT IS 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: IN ''.~' -. -.
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 in the vicinity,
and from our knowledge of their character
we consider their reputation for veracity
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 q bridge builder, gives their opin-
ion in regard to the condition of the tim
bers, and renders further comment unnec-
essary. '-' ~

THE Union and american thinks, with
the Washington Patriot, that it is not
creditable to the President that Senator
Warner, and nearly all carpet baggers ?
appointed by him, are compelled to give
men outside of their States as bondsmen-
such men as General Sherman and ex-
Senator Cattell, of New Jersey, as Gen.
Warner has done. We should think it
rather more than an ordinary mark of con-
fidence that Mr.. Warner, appointed Col
lector of Mobile, could find such responsible
and pure men as Gen. Sherman to go on
his bond, while residing far away and de-
prived of the privilege of personal obserYa-
ton of his official conduct. The fact is,
such little souls as hound Gen. Warner
and his like, couldn't find men outside OF
their bounden relatives or dependents to
go their security. They are too mean to
have friends outside their contemplate
little circle. EHaW ~ T3.fH/i 7hj y 4
