A Little More Ldberality Demanded.
The following communication speaks for
itself, and we call the attention of the au-
thorities to the suggestions thrown out.
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
The papers have noticed the "liberal
prices" at which the stalls in the new por-
ton Of the market house rented last Mon
day, the 18th. My object in this commun-
ication is to call the attention Of the public
to the injustice done those countrymen who
made such ''liberal" bids for the stalls rent
ed. One quarter of the year is gone, the
marketers have been punctual in serving
their patrons under all manner of difficult
ties, through the inclement winter, many Of
them with no shelter to protect themselves
and their products, and scarcely place to
stand during the time the market house was
being renovated, this they bore without
complaint in view Of the comfort promised,
not dreaming that the improvements were
to be paid for out of the proceeds of their
bard earned labors and slender incomes.
Now here is the injustice done these honest
countrymen last Monday. They had
been told by those in authority,
and led to believe the first
quarter trOuld be deducted from the price
the stalls would bring, and henc, the free
spirit and sliberal' rates on the occasion.
In the name of all interested put in this
plea, that this yet be done. Surely our
good people of Nashville do not wish the
producer who makes his vegetables by the
sweat of his brow and exposed late and
early to the heat and cold, to pay such an
inequitable premium for the privilege Of a
place to accommodate his customers. The
consumer buys the fruits Of the garden
much cheaper than he could Afford to pro-
duce them under the present system of
labor, so one who gives the matter any con-
sideration, will perceive the profits of the
field are quite small and sometimes, owing
to vicissitudes nothing at all, and yet all
must be fed. The farmer and gardener would
go to his toll with lighter and mere hope
full heart, if he were encouraged to look for
a liberal support from those he labOrs to
serve. CULTIVAToR.

LOCAL INDUSTRIES.
Speciality In the Manufacture OF Red
Cedar Ware.
Formation OF a New Joint Stock Com.
pany Progressing.

Go where we will, there is evidence OF
prosperity in the manufacturing establish
| ments of this city, and that the capacity of
these establishments can be proftably in
creased, and others can wisely be added.
The wealth of Nashville is not meager. 1t
only needs to be used in developing manu-
| featuring enterprises, audit will become
even more utilitarian than it is. For in
stance, the red cedar and oak wooden-ware
| and lumber establishments of w. 81. Pre-
witt, NJ. A Spur & Co., had only capacity
of two hundred and fifty pieces day, in
1866, but now its capacity is six hundred.
| The employees number nearly hundred,
some Of whom earn SIS day, and therefore
they can live comfortably, and
| generally enjoy themselves. Is this
all? This establishment completes with all
the Eastern wooden-ware manufactures
and excels them in the manufacture Of red
cedar acdre in the Ne,o York market. The
following shows the character of Prewitt,
Spur s. Co.'s manufactures and the whole
sale prices which they command:

CASTINGS AND MACHINERY


What is known as the Brennan iron
Wsrks were started in 1852. They contin1
ued in operation until 1866 and reOrganized
under the name of the Claiborne iron
works, which continued until 1858, when
T. M. Brennan & Bro, assuming them,
commenced manufacturing steam engines
and boilers, saw and grist mill machinery
shafting, hangers and pulleys, water wheels
in variety, architectural iron work, cast and
wrought iron Orders, fencing, railroad and
contractors iron work, turn tables, frogs,
switches, pumps, tanks, crate bars, plow
points, wagon boxes, dog irons, and sash
weights, besides doing All immense amount
of general repairing. The Federal author
tiles having occupied the CITY
this was interrupted. They restart-
ed in 1865, however, and now there
are preparations for developing
the concern into a joint stock company with
increased capital to obtain all the facilities
necessary in expanding it to the require
ments of the present hour. Not steam
boat leaves Nashville but it. carries away
tons of pig iron to be manufactured else
changed much Of it is shipped back again
and resold here. How much better it would
be if all this raw material, SO abundant
here, was used at home, and thus be the
means of more than doubling our popula-
ton, and aiding in the prosperity of our
city. Let us have one-half of the unem-
ployed capital invested in building and fur
nishing workshops, and Nashville will be-
come at very early day the manufactur-
ing centre Of the South.

ONE of the most able and influential OF
the antl-Administration journals, speculat-
ing upon the chances of success in the
ensuing Presidential campaign and discuss
ing the best means to obtain it. cautions
everybody concerned to bear in mind that
they are managing problem of the ma
ture OF game" and that not single
chance must be sacrificed to their hopes.
This is exactly the rock on which the op-
position will probably go to pieces. The
masses of the country have no taste for
gambling, and it is hardly probable that
the Republican rank and file will follow
gamster's desperate lead in matter which
SO vitality concerns the honor and welfare
OF the nation. The admission was proba-
bly, an inadvertence, but it is none the less
significant as showing how completely des-
titute, even in the eyes of its leaders, tho
movement is of any moral pitch or pur-
pose. So long as the least suspicion Of
unworthy trickery attaches to it, the peo-
pie will repudate it with contempt.

The color question is agitating the Free
Masons in New Jersey. Two years ago
applications was made to the Grand Lodge
OF the State for a charter for new lodge
IN Newark, to be called Alpha Lodge. Ii
having been reported that the new lodge
intended to initiate colored men. the appli-
cants were questioned on that point. and
declared the report false. A charter was
granted to the new lodge, on receiving
which, proposals for membership from a
dozen colored men were entertained.
lhis created great excitement among the
white Masons throughout the State, and on
the night when the candidates were to be
balloted for, the Grand Marshal of the
State appeared by order of the Grand
Master, and demanded the charter of the
lodge. he received it, and Alpha Lodge
was formally suspended.
The matter came up at the last session
OF the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, and af-
ter sharp discussion, the charter of Alpha
Lodge was restored by a vote of III to
lo3. Alpha Lodge then elected the colored
candidates and began to give them their de-
grees. This action aroused the white Ma
sons to new efforts. Trenton Lodge, No.
., Immediately petitioned the Grand Mas
ter to call a special communication of tho
Grand Lodge to reconsider its action. and
united effort was made to again secure
the revocation of the charter Of Alpha
Lodge. The effort has failed. Grand
Master Paine has refused to convene the
Grand Lodge. Meanwhile Alpha Lodge
had given Its colored brethren the degree
Of fellow craft, and on Monday last two
black men were raised, through the aid and
assistance OF their white brethren, to the
sublime degree of Master Mason Hash.
