THE RAILROAD LEASE.

TO the Editors Of the Union and American:
have seen in yesterdays paper that
Judge Turner has notified the magistrates
to assemble the 29th to canvass the inter
ests we have in the leasing of the Nash
vile and Decatur to the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. l also noticed that
the Common Council and Board of Trade
are to be represented in the Court by able
lawyers, who are either employed or in
structed to advocate the interests of those
who are in opposition to the lease. l
would ask if the gentlemen who are ap-
pointed by the City Council deemed the
asking the assembling of our County
Court one of the legal means in their
power TO oppose the lease of the road.
costing the county, no doubt, hundreds of
dollars, in order to give few men the
opportunity of ventilating their ideas; or
does 1t mean that the parties in opposi-
ton 10 the lease, by securing the talents
OF some OF the our ablest LAWYERS, will
make a. effort TO over -slaugh the County
Court o. bias its judgment? If SO, l
am OF tie opinion that they are barking
up the wrong tree. If lam not mistaken.
the gentlemen composing our County
Court are capable of knowing the cOun-
tvs interests without having their iudg-
ments fOrestalled by the direct and imper-
atlye instructions of any body of men
who have only one of the twenty-five
districts at stake. hope the gentlemen
Of the first district do not imagine that
they are Davidson county. If they are
laboring under any such delusion, It will
certainly be dispelled on the assembling
OF our County Court on Saturday, the
magistrates knowing their duty, and to
know it is 10 perform it, all buncomb
speeches and resolutions to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Let the court remember
that for c ghteeh long years they have levied
and collected off the yeOmanry of the coun-
ty (who earn their bread by the sweat of
their br0w,) their proportion of the $I2,-
600 tax for The payment of the interest
on the cOunty's bonds in the Nashville

the bankers, merchants or other parties
holding said bonds. Nashville has here
tofOre virtually controlled the Davidson
county interests in the several railroads,
and how beautifully they have managed
it! Look at the condition of or invest
