The RINK.-The grand skating carni-

another success. Not so large a crowd at
tended as did Tuesday night, but neverthc-
less there was large and appreciatiye au-

a crowd, and we hope for the pleasure of
our citizens that the proprietor will have
several this winter. In the mean time our
citizens should patronize the Stating Rink.

The Nashville Banner contemns the
"country press" and speaks sneering-
ly of its conductors. In this there
might be a share of becoming and
proper modesty, If the Banner were
conducted by Allen A. Hall, General
Washington Barrow, or by Felix K.
Z~ollicoffer. But the ghosts of these
men have never, since 1855, wandered
about the Banner building. The spirit
Of departed worth has never, of late,
been Infused into the prosy musings
and erratic platitudes of the Banner.
When it applies epithets of contempt
to Boyers, of the Examiner; Wallace,
of the Era; White, of the Herald
House, of the Revies0; Saunders, of
the Herald; Glass, of the Gazette;
Parrish, of the Bualetin-it assaults
men certainly the equals Of the con-
duetor Of the Banner and in saying
this, God knows it is not our purpose
to fatter the vanity of the "rural edi-
tors" The Banner is beside itself. 1t
is "clean gone daft" after Foote and
Colyar, and is surely unconscious of its
own superlative folly. Its little head
is turned by succesEorship to a fame
and position of which it is hardly
worthy. Its policy is as ruinous as its
conduct and vanity T absurd. It's
sneer are IS unfortunate for itself as
its political conduct, if approved,
would be for the whole country.

SHORT cur TO EUROPE

The opening of the European and
North American railway, attended
with so much ecLat as the presence of
the President of the United States
and the GovernOr-general Of Canada
could impart to it, is an event OF great
Importance to the travelling and COM
mercial public of Europe and Amer
lea. 1t shortens the distance between
New York and ireland fully seven
hundred miles, and affords the option
Of all sea, or part sea and land travel
to those journeying between the two
continents. This railway extends to
st. Johns, in New Brunswick, four
hundred and forty-eight miles from
Boston; from st. Johns a line is al
ready in operation to Amherst, at the
head Of the Bay of Fundy, and will be
finished next year to connect with the
Novia Scotia railway, and thus give a
continuous line to Halifax. But this
does not satisfy the awakened enter
prise OF the peopLe of the British
colonies. In Newfoundland they
Seriously contemplate the eonstrnc-
ton 81 a railroad across their island,
from st. Georges bay on the west
coast, along the line Of As degrees
north latitude, to st. Johns on the
Atlantic ocean. The distance is about
two hundred and fifty miles, and
from st. Johns to Valentia, in Ireland,
is only a little over 1900 miles. This
voyage could be accomplished by swift
steameIs'infrom four and a half to five
days, making the time from Ireland
to New York in seven, to Memphis in
nine days, and to San Francisco via
Chicago in twelve or thirteen. The
New York Financial Bulletin, in an
article upon the subject, says: 'FThe
whole saving of distance effected by
the new line is at least seven hundred
miles, and as the saving in distance is
made by cutting of the least safe and
agreeable part of the voyage, it may
be expected that the new line will eff
feet an important diversion of Ed
ropean travel. No such diversion of
freights need be anticipated, since the
cost OF transhipmeCt and forwarding
them by rail Tould be at once more
costly and less expeditions than by
sending them direct to this and other
ports Of entry without breaking bulk;
but it is safe to predict for the line an
extensive and profitable local and
through traffic, and its prospects of
success rest upon a substantial basis"

therefore, cannot pay their debts as
promptly as the more favored rail-
roads Of the Middle and Eastern
divisions OF the State, wants to force
upon them terms that have not been
exacted from the railroad that Tom
Scott, through McGhee, has bought.
OF course, this won't do, and His Ex-
cellency should say 80 in another mes
sage. Instead Of hurrying the rail-
roads of this part Of the State, they
should receive an extension of time,
especially since the great majority OF
the stolen bonds of which the State
debt consists were originally issued for

Tennessee down into the capacious
nav of the Pennsylvania Central.
He would have no connection at Bris-
tol between General Maney's road and
that of General Malone, leading to
Norfolk. He would prevent the ex-
tension of the Memphis and Charles
ton road through Sparta to Bristol,
and thus prevent our access to Balti-
more. He would crush every railway
in the State, prevent itsYpaying debts
due the State, that he may finally
grasp the whole, and rule in Nashville
as he does in Harrisburg. Mr.. Nc
Ghee, the agent Of such a monster,
should resign his seat .inhthe leeisla-
ture. He no longersrepresents a Ten
nessee constituency. Neither more
nor less scorruptE than fother men,
he has fallen a victim to the
overshadowing, all-pervading ma
chinations of Tom Scott. HIS dan
gerous potency is defined in the mes
sage OF Governor Brown, who has lis
tened, times without number, to Tom
Scott, while McGhee sat in the pres
ence of His Excellency, sketching, so
mOdestly and with such light and
graceful tints and shadows, the plans
of Tom Scott. All railways are to be
crushed that Tom Scott and McGhee
and Wilson may become masters Of
the fortunes of Tennessee. The Gov
ernor's proposition is. tenderly made;
but this is its whole significance, and
that the scheme may be effected bur
dens Of taxation will remain I'M
changed, that men who specialized
upon u misfortunes and robbed US,
through knaves that sWarmed about
Brownlew's throne, may riot in
wealth gathered from taxpayers in

Wilson agreed to sell that road, vol

consideration the Federal tax, the
county tax and the city tax. This
fifty cents is just thirty cents too
much.
