MSpeaking of the beauties of fancy
stock specialties the Boston Traveller
says: Last week there was sale at auc-
ton of some hundred thousand shares
of fancy oil and mining stocks, the prop
erty of bankrupt speculator. The
stock nominally represented something
over half a million of dollars, upon
which the operator has succeeded in
borrowing large amounts-from two in
dividuals, certainly, to the amount of
S6O,000 The entire proceeds of the sale
did not meet the expense of advertising
and commission. Ten thousand shares
in one celebrated company brought the
enormous price of twenty-five cents, and
yet the Spectator had succeeded in en-
trapping several of the shrewdest mer-
chants to grant loans thereon.

CARL sCHURz.

The Hon. Carl Schurz has spoken in
Nashville. The point of most impor-
lance is his suggestion of an alliance of
good men of all parties for the restora-
ton of peace, order and prosperity. He
does not announce adherence to the
Democratic party. His prejudices, per-
haps, more than his Judgment, keep him
aloof from it. If we could ignore names
that suggest prejudices and party affilia-
tions, we should the best of us, look at
things differently, or at least study them
from different standpoint. Sehurz IS
patriotic, no doubt, but in opposing the
main features of the Radical party, he
is committing suicide. He knows it
we'll enough, but he possesses the princi-
pie and the pluck to encounter any fate
10 which revengeful party may consign
him. We are glad that such man as
Neill s. Brown, whom his State honors,
did introduce to a Tennessee audience a
man whom the good men of all sections
recognize as honest, AID know to be
able. There is no prospect that Schurz
will cooperate with the Democracy, but
his boldness, honesty and power will
hew down the ranks of his own party
and assist, though not purposely, in
ach;aviny Ito triunnb

Liens ON Real Estate.

A movement is on foot among the
legal fraternity of our city to draft bill
for the consideration of the next Legis-
lature with reference to liens on real es-
tate, etc. 1t is proposed to pass law
to instruct the clerks of the different
courts of the State to file all judgments
found in their respective courts with the
County Register within given time in
order to perfect the lien. Notices of
attachment suits commenced (Which
are also liens on real estate) must be
filed with the County Register; copies
of DEGREES, vesting titles, will also be
registered. 1t is proposed when party
goes on a bond to make that bond a
quasi lien on the real estate until the
conditions Of the bond are satisfied.
By such an arrangement the title to
property and the liens, if any, thereon
will appear on the books Of the County
Register. The title can then be easily
Investigated.

FAIRS AND PROGRESS.

The best indicators OF the spirit
of progress are the State and county
airs. They indicate something practi
cal peaceful and permanent. They IN
dictate revival of agriculture, and, as a
consequence, the restoration of plenty.
The people, broken up by a long and
desperate war, have gone to work, and
within the brief space of five years, are
so far advanced as to point proudly to
the evidences of their industry. In the
face of Governmental 'hostilities, exac-
tons and outrages; in the teeth of all
corners with bayonets and taxes, the
people of the South have moved on IN
their quiet, good old way, and though
desnoiled of fortune and the means OF
sustaining life, have grasped plenty from
the very hands of fate. Agricultural
implements had been given to the
flames. To restore them was the
FIRST work of the farmer and plan.
ter. Rude as they were, they served
for a time the uses for which they were
designed. Planters and farmers wanted
supplies, and in many cases they were
furnished by merchants to the serious
injury of the latter. Meantime, stock
began to accumulate on the farms, the
broken fences to reappear, the fields that
had been torn by the wheels of the can
non and caison to yield to the rude pillow
and to look green again. When the war
closed, there was nothing in the South
but noble women, brave men and'a'soh
that famine never visits, and which, all
the year round, wears the approving
smile of heaven. Hands that bad BEEN
unused to work, instead Of silken gloves,
nut on blisters. The time had come
when the pluck of the South must be
tested upon another field. 1t was, in war,
the admiration of the world. What
would it be in peace, over the ruins
of the homes and fortunes of the people I
The millions Of bales of cotton, the over
flowing barns, these agricultural exhibi-
tions now springing up all over the coun-
try. and a thousand other evidences,
answer. One thing, at least, is demon
strated: The South may be kept in po-
litical DURANGO, may be insulted and
robbed, but it cannot be starved. Its
enemies, to accomplish that, would have
first to reconstruct nature, to extract the
light and heat from the sun and steal the
fertility from the soil. With all his i'm
perial power Grant cannot do that.
With all the malice of his nature, 1t is
Job too big for Butler They cannot turn
the Continent round like a street car,
and introduce our section to the North
pole. A foolish monarch once
took his stand upon tie sea-shore
and commanded the incoming waves
TO roll back. The enemies OF the South
know better than to attempt to interfere
with nature. Our annual exhibitions OF
industry and progress should be sus-
tanned. They should be peculiar to no
place or community, but common to all.
The people, through their influence, will
be stimulated to greater exertions, and
render, within a few years, the South in
progress and wealth what it already is
in nature-the garden of the world.

WILL THIS DOT

A Radical paper wishes to know what
will satisfy the South. Well, there are
several things that would please the
South. The South would like to see the
carpet-bag officials 90 home, and give
place to Northern farmers, manutactur-
ers and others, who do not think, feel
and act as if our people were SO many
subjects to be robbed, picked and plum
dered in the name of loyalty. There
are other things that would please the
South. Let the Government restore the
rights of the States, and take its hands
off the great men of our section.
They are pursued with a vindictiveness
unknown in Austria and Russia. 1t
would please the South to see an honest
administration of the Government. No
Southern man expects to be President
in this generation; but the South will
support any Northern Democrat who is
honest, and entertains just and liberal
sentiments. }tt
