Special Oorrsspoa6snos APPEAL
Guests yesterday, at Bon Aqua,
were engaged in the discussion Of cur
rent political questions, The COLO
ouists finally became political meet
ing. A speech WIS INSIDE, which
j do not undertake TO report; but the
substance will hardly BE- forgotten BY
those who heard It. The BF eaker said
that the new departure was confess
edly q movement to give strength to
the Northern Democracy in local cleo
tiOns. II a Democratic speaker in
Qaio assail Grants administration,
eondemaiue It's enormities and dim
ing It's crimes, il is only needful for
a Radical opponent to point to Ander-
sonville, and sll,t those incidents OF the
war deemed NEST abhOlTent among
Northern people. Before the mob
there could be no answer, and all as
saults rpOn Grants administration
and the Radical despotism were thus
rendered utterly unavailing. The
sanew departure, " said the speaker, is
only a device of Democratic poiit-
clans in local contests to narrow down
the issue to present vital questions. If
the South, If Mr.. Davis and Alex. II.
Stephens aGd the Democracy OF the
S,sath accept the new departure, its
chief purpose viii be pro tG1ltO de-
fested. and il is most fortunate that
the peoule Of the South refuse TO stui-
tifv themselves by refusing 70
aanrove today as final and right that
which IN 1865, and ever since, they
have condemned as wrong and utter
Ev iudefensible- The worst enemies
81 Northern Democracy in the South
are those who blindlg and unthink-
fnrIy follow Northern Democracy.
We viii vote the Democratic ticket IN
1872, though we may have no voice IN
the selection Of a DemOeratlc candl-
date for the Presidency; but just row
he Is the most terrible enemy OF the
Democratic party North, who, IN the
south, approves its assertions OF pur-
pose and policy.
The new departure may suit the
trailing politicians very well, who can
change their cOlOEs and creed with
ehamele0n-like facility but the
honest masses who supported Sey-
noour and BlaiE and the platform OF
1865 are unwilling to confess them
selves tor that reason, either asses OF
kuaves.
such discussions are Of constant re-
curreuce, but there is no great degree
of interest excited. The sUmach mill,
giving employment to women and
Children. and developing a new field
OF profitable industry, excites more
inquiry than all the deeds done by
Vallandighsru. al the tergiversa1ons
Of politicians and theOrIZauons OF
Darwin.
A sUGG EsTION TO RAILWAY MANA
GERS.
A farmer from Crockett county, /
whe came originally from Virginia,
insists that Southern railroads should /
transport gypsum and agricultural
implements At special rates. Not far
from Bristol, gypsum is found in in
exhaustible quantities. Its application |
10 an acre Of clover increases the |
product three fold. It's importation |
augments the cOUntry's wealth and /
thus the business OF railways, and |
tberef1re Mr.. COnnOr urged the adOp- |
ton 0l special rates by railways, for |
the tra1spOrtOn Of mari, gypsum and |
,yusuo. The matter was respectfully |
rsierred to Major Wicks and General |
Boyd.
Not content with this modest sug-
gestion 10 railroad managers, it was |
insisted that lone fare for the round /
,srip'' should be established from /
Weuphis 10 Bon Aqua. This prOpO- /
sftio, touched the most sensitive /
nerves NJ the assembly, and there /

Nashville is a dull place in the after
