me POND Appointment.

We read friend Foulke,s article
Of last week, III which he replied Il
our remarks relative 10 Arthur
Ponds appointment to the Audit
orship, and. verify, we have sur.
vived.
He thinks the Commissioner
thought Pond would best serve the
people. Pond may serve the peo-
pie well; we think he will. he. nc
doubt. Is qualified to fill the Office.
But, while this is true, there are
very many others that could do
likewise; men, too, who have long
been our citizens, all their lives
many of them; men who have never
held an Office, who have always
been Republicans, and who were
soldiers during the late war, and
are thereby entitled to places OF
honor and trust.
He denies that two vacancies
were created. Possibly there is a
flaw in the law. whereby Pond will
he able 10 hold the lucrative Office of
Auditor and still be q School Ex-
aminer. II such be the case, we
have no doubt but that he will con-
time to hold them both; and, were
IL possible, if a special act could be
passed this Winter authorizing him
TO continue as Surveyor, we have
no doubt but that he would "accept
the situation"
He charges us with saying that
Pond has held office ever since he
am to the County, and then rep
resents that we falsihed. What we
SAID was that Pond has been an Off
ficer all the time he has been a cit
izen ofthls County, and what we
said is true. There is q difference
between o resident and q citizen.
One may be a resident of a place
and not 8 citizen. Pond was a can
didate for Surveyor before he was
q citizen, that ia before he had
been in the County long enough to
have q right to vote, and he was
elected and took his position. and
has held one or two Offices all the
time since.
He says the Commissioners con-
suited the people. Ifthey did, they
dsne SC IN very little time. Mr..
McGrew died on Sunday, and the
appointment was made on the next
day, Monday. The Commission
Dit who live IN the country, were
notified of Mr.. McGrew's death on
Monday, ard as soon as they could
all be gotten TO town, they locked
themselves mp in the Auditors Of
fee, and after talking tho matter
over for about a half hour, they
made the appointment.
He says, IN abiding to u ref
erence to the Court House Ring,
"We must either conclude that the
Ring made a tool of Mr.. NIceswan-
ger, or that 1t was not q Ring ap-
polntment at ALL" This is a more
sensible conclusion than we had
any idea our friend Jesse could ar
rive at. Mr.. Nlceswanger may
have been honest enough in what
he done. undoubtedly he was, but
nevertheless be was but a tool IN
the hands of others. The Ring. un-
doubleday, owes Mr.. Niceswanger a
debt of gratitude, and he should be
IT'S candidate next year.

The people of New Orleans have
become alarmed at an alleged con-
spirscy to deprive them of their
real estate, which has been held
from generation to generation un-
der ancient grants from the Span
ish and French governments. These
titles have, for slxty-nine years,
been considered good, without con-
irmation by the United States.
Under a recent act of congress, how
ever, it is alleged that where these
grants have not been confirmed, or
where the surveys cannot be found
IN the proper Office, the land belongs
to the United States, and is subject
20 entry by the homestead law. A
register and receiver of public lands,
1t is reported, have been appointed
by tae United STATES government,
and these officers are proceeding to
investigate titles with great activi-
ty. When no survey can be found
public notice is gwen, and If the
occupant fails to exhibit a confirm
ed title, a patent is issued, subject.
ing it to entry under the homestead
law. The whole town of C~arrollton,
one of the out laying villages of
New Orleans, it Is reported, has
been confiscated by means of this
inequiuable enforcement of the rigid
provisions Of an act of Congress.

SENATOR TIEARPE-AN ELOQUENT
SPEECH

The following communication was re-
received attoo late an hour Saturday evening
TO appear in Sundays paper:
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
BATTLE HOUSE. NASHVILLE, Oct. 21.-
One Of the most eloquent speeches that has
vet been delivered in either House of the
Legislature, now in session, was delivered
to-day by Senator Tharpe, of Henry, who
represents in the Senate the counties of
Henry, Weakly and Obion, on the resolu-
ton offered by Senator Tolley, Of Lincoln,
to the effect that the Senate meet the House
in the Representative Hail at 3 p. NJ. on
Monday for the purpose of extending to
Gen. John G. Breckenridge, who is now on
a sojourn in the city, that reception
merited by his eminent public history,
his high virtues and unmatched talents.
The high eulogium paved by Senator
Tharpe has all the more weight, in
the fact that he is One~Df the most conserva-
tive members of the Senate. and as he re
marked, had never been political
follower of Gen. Breckenridge. But
the high order of his talents, his virtues
and his patriotism, he had always admired,
and congratulated himself on the Opportu-
nifty afforded 10 manifest his appreciation of
the same. The true lovers Of real worth.
said the Senator, could find other and rs
splendid QUALITIES in John c. Breckenridge
to admire as his heroism, as eminent as that
was. His stateSmanship was of the very
highest order, his reputation worldwide.
None delighted more than Ee to bow at the
shrine Of such distinguished merit.
Your correspondent is unable to recall
the time when he heard 4 more appropriate
or a more eloquent speech, conceived ou
the spur on the moment, than that of Gen.
Tharpe on this OCCASION. The theme was
grand and the effort fully up to its utmost
requirements. The writer of this, an ar
dent admirer of the distinguished subject
of the occasion, was much delighted with
the remarks Of Gen. TharTe. He seemed
10 feel the sentiment of his remarks so.
thoroughly. rs was cvinced in his every
gesture and every movement, that while
admiring the character of the subject Of the
remarks it was impossible to withhold the
same feeling toward the author. While the
present Senate is one of the soundest work
inc bodies we ever saw assembled, II has II
leas. fair quota Of sTatorical talent.
A. the conclusion of his spe ech Gen.
T. arpe was congratulated by several Sena-
tors and many Of the spectators present.

The importance of improving the ordina-

1t is universally conceded and lamented
that the Country Roads are in worse con-

no remedy has yet been presented.
We cannot now assess a general tax upon
the State, with the heavy tax already una
voidable, to improve the roads. Much re-

counties to levy road tax, and appoint
road inspectors, charged with the duty, at
stated intervals, of inspecting all the public
