4 "Reminiscences,

1t was reported i'll 1869 that each of the
leading democratic candidates in this city
had contributed fifty thousand dollars to
ensure success in the November elections,
and that the Mayor felt able to spare half
hissalary for the same purpose. There were
some observers, near and far, who thought
that there was speculation in those eyes
unselfish generosity rarely goes far. 1t
might be ungraciOus to inquire whence
came the several half-hundred thousands
thus jauntily thrown into the political are
ma. Events have shown that it was an
excellent investment The true patriotism
which achieved success by such means in
1869, (the total amount spent in the can
vas by "the Tammany Ring" was estima-
ted at a million dollars) has since relieved
this city of twenty-five millions annually
in taxes and increased its debt by seventy
two millions. If the federal government
had followed the example and increased
its debt in proportion to the population,
our national debt would have been aug
mented twenty-eight hundred millions Of
dollars. Our leading city officers can prof
itably waste a million each in the next
election.-NetO York Post.

and any person or party who can make
said road scccess is their friend; and,
whereas the State of Alabama, through its
agents, has endeavored to destroy the con-
tidence of the creditors of the road in its
success; therefore, ...
Resolved, That we condemn the effort of
the agents of the State of Alabama to Gre
ate public opinion adverse to the Alabama
and Chattanooga railroad company.
Resolved, That the State of Alabama has
but one legitimate channel through which
to enforce her legal rights, to-wit: the
courts of the country and her agents have
degraded themselves and the State they as
sumo to represent, by pandering to the
passions OF base men in order to secure
what they claim are the legal rights of a
great State. H
Resolved, That the creditors of the Ala
bama and Chattanooga railroad here rep
resented, are highly indignant at the con-
duct of the agents of the State of Alabama,
by reason of the course pursued by them
towards the Alabama and Chattanooga
railroad company. T.Fs
ResOlued, That we candidly believe and
have good reason to know that by the eff
forts of said agents of Alabama. the pay
ment of the employees and other creditors
of said railroad company, has been mate
rally delayed, and they are therefore Justly
entitled to our condemnation.
The resolutions were, on motion, adopt
ed by large majority.
The sense of the meeting was strongly
opposed to allowing the State of Alabama
or any other party running or opera
ting the road until the employees had
received their pay.
Thus closed the indignation meeting"
called by the editor of the Times, and 9TH

ky, and hurrahed so loudly for Alabama
while drinking at ClantOn's expense.
