THE TRIBUNE printed in
! large type, Yesterday, a SEN
. satiOnal story to the effect
! that MesSrS. Barlow. La
ROGUE, and Mcfarland, at
tOrIeys for the Board Of d.
rcctOrs of the Exc Railway,
had begun suit against JAY
Gould, the President OF the
! road under the corrupt Ere
Ring. for the recovery OF
d" IL least the sum Of $1,000
600. and il is only the pre-
cursor Of40 other suits TO be
brought" The alleged COM
.'plaint upon which this SUIT
was brought was alleged 20
be that Gould, violating his
thrust as President OF the
Company. made many tat
contracts with Gould the
individual, 20 the great loss
IOf the Company.
\ Mr.. LarOcque Of the law
firm, VINO represents the in
lterests Of the stockholders,
was waited upon by a re-
lpOrter of The Times, yester-
lday, when he stated that no
lsuch complaint had been
drawn. He had been absent
from the city. he SAID, and
upon his return home, seeing
the published statement
, giving the contents OF the
, complaint against Gould, he
, had looked over their record
to see hit mad been prepared
IN his absence. He found,
however, that il had not,
andthat the only foundation
for the story was tnat, ON
the 10Th inst, a formal sum-
mons had been drawn. This
was merely the usual formal
preparation Tor the com
. mencement of a suit. The
Investigations as TO Gould's
management are yet going
ON.

As Vanderbilt IS
ineligible TO the Presidency
until the existing law ls re-
pealed, the English stock
holders, represented by their
agents here, have hit upon
the following expedient I:
A ticket made up
OF Vanderbilt's friends, and
those who will work for his
interests, will be felected 20
I'LL the vacancies. The Board
of Directors will be packed,
and the President serve
until the law now existing
be repealed, when he will
resign in favor of Wander
bilt. Though Mr.. Wander
bilt may not hold the
Presidency nominally, he
will virtually control the
road, and through the
actual President, direct its
management and look
after It's interests. The
stockholders are still in
hopes that there is some
.loOphOle by which the law
may De evaded, and Wander
.bllt elected at once without
going through the rigmarOle
OF having a puppet Presi-
dent for a time. Unless

The English shareholders
are determined TO place
Erie in his hands, and by
thus gaining a monopoly OF
the carrying trade, advance
the price OF their stock and
secure handsome dividends.

the KU.KETX PRTsONE1ss.

From the New York TribuEs, Aug. "a.
Some two months age Hlr. Greeley called
the attention Of NJ. Gerrit Smith to the fact
that many of re Ku- Klux prisoners confined
at Albany were deserving Of the in,erpOsi-
tiOG Of Executive ciemency. He urged that
some of these poor creatures were 80 gross
ly ignorant, that others were 90 young to
comprehend the nature Of the fearful obi
cations which they had assumed, and that
others had undoubtedly been terrified into
joining the Ku-Klux organizations. Mr..
Greeley asked Mr.. Smith, as a philanthrO-
pist, to examine into the fac of the case
for himself, and use his infusnee with
the President, with whom his relations
were cordially close, in behalf Of such
prisoners as deserved it. Mr.. Smith agreed
10 look into the aff1ir, but said he
was doubtful If the President WORLD
be induced, in the midst Of heated cam
paign, to take steps for the release Of any
Of the prisoners, as it might iDjure his
political prospects. The result Of the ex-
animation BY Mr.. Gerrit Smith, and his
subsequent report to the President Confirm
irg Mr.. Greelsy's views,) was that Col
" hitley of the United States Secret Service
WIS detailed to make an official examlna-
ton. His report exactly justities the wis
dom of Mr.. Greeley's observations and
conclusions. The country viii BOT be IN
terested TO see if the President viii yield TO
the suggestions madam the interest OF
humanity, or will Yindicste the sagaeIty OF
Mr.. Gerrit Smiths opinion that be could
not venture On this aet Of justice lest II
might injure bis political prospects.

the Tlme 20 Advertise.

The dull season, as il is called, is the best
time for remunerative advertising. When
people have most leisure, they read most.
At tie watering places and numerous sum
Iner resorts, where tourists are coDgTegated,
the merchant who takes advantage of his
opportunity viii not fail to send his circu-
lar; or, if he depends upon newspapers
mainly, be will not pass by the quiet dull
ness Of summer without keeping his bust
ness constantly before the people who have
deserted the town for more congenial life
in the open country.
1t pays to advertise judiciously-it pays
to advertise if the truth is told. 1t Cont
pay to stop advertising. All you have spent
is wasted, if by your neglect to keep the
public acquainted with the advantages you
can offer, they discover the usual enterprise
wanting at any time for any reason in the
management of Jour business.
''What's the matter with a, B, G d Cos
they don't advertise any more. Guess they
are played out,i said friend of ours, not
long since. Well, sure enough, when we
had our attention called TO the fact, it did
appear so to us, and it was not long before
we read among the items of the day, awe
regret to announce the temporary suspen-
sion of the well-known firm of A, b, G &
Co. Liabilities and assets not yet ascer-
tained," etc. "By throat latch" wins the
race. Keep a little ahead; don't get tired,
for it is just here the applause is against
you, and once the popular current sets in
adversely, you may "throw up the sponge"
for you are no longer counted among the
probable winners of the racel Intelligent,
persistent effort; truthful advertising in sea-
sen and out of season, fair dealing, small
profits, one price strictly adhered to, and
the terms c. q. D. to all, will surely result
in success to aretail establishment.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of Edge
field-Gentsr I ar informed, and think
reliably, that according 10 the law of Ten
nessee, YOU are in the premises responsible
for the public schools of Edgefeld, and also
for the character of the books used in said
schools, the Board of Education being only
one of you- creatures. | have been send
ing one child to said schools, and hitherto l
have purchased such books required, and
having, during vacation, examined to some
extent Goodfich's History of the United
Sites. | must say that am not only DIS
satisfied but perfectly disguised with it. /
have bought one; will never buy another,
and when winter comes and fires are need
ed. will soon have none. | would rather
my child should live and die ignorant of the
English alphabet than to learn the history
Of the country from such historians as Good
rich.
am also informed that there are Others
in the grade equally Objectionable, embrae-
ing readers, Biographies and arithmetics,
perhaps not in all, but some of the series by
the same author, but not having examined
these, am not prepared to say anything
them.
Now, Whist 1 wish to. DO is simply to e.
uuire of your honorable body if there is no
way of supplying the school with books
less Objectionable, at least less sectional in
their teaching. We old people have GER
tainly had enough Of sectional teaching,
and as consequence sectional hate, with
out perpetuating them through the means
of our school books in the minds and healts
Of innocent children. If the North will
persist in writing such books, can we not
in the higher, nobler spirit of our manhood,
refuse to put them into the hands OF our
children? And if it is fact that no school
books can be had which are not sectional in
their teachings and tendencies, then It were
better that the children should grow up in
virtuous ignorance than with bigoted, VIZ
cioas, sectional education, an education
which has ever been curse to our country.
Under the present law in regard TO the Sc
lection of teacher for my child, have no
voice. May not be heard in regard to
the lesson to be taught? If not, then am
reqaire6 to place my child under the care
of know not who, TO be taught know
not what, which it seems to me is asking
too much. May hope that this matter
win have your careful consideration at
your next meeting2 A PATRON.

Partou,s Life or Horace greeley.

life of the LIBERIA Republican and
Democratic candidate for President by
James Parton, the celebrated historian, has
recently been published by the National
Publishing Company, and Master VIM. G.
Farrer, son of Mr.. j. II. Farrar, has the
exclusive agency for the sale of the book
by subscription in Nashville and Davidson
county. The work contains nearly 600
pages, printed from clear type, and is illus
trated with a number of engravings in ad-
dition TO fine steel portrait of Mr.. Greeley.
The publishers say:
"The life of Horace Greeley up to the
present time by James Parton, which is
now ready is just the work adapted to meet
the present demand. A good portion of the
work was written several years ago, before
MIR. Greeley was brought forward as q
Presidential candidate, and it therefore has
the merit of rot having been prepared as
campaign document. Any life of Mr..
Greeley that is likely to be put forward now,
got up under the press of the present po-
litical excitement, will unavoidably be sub
ject to distortions more or less, in order to
serve certain political ends. 1t is the great
merit of Mr.. Parton's work shat, having
been written without any intention of max
ing it serve political purpose, it presents
an impartial view of the important events
in Mr.. Greeley's career. The tone of the
book is entirely in sympathy with what
Mr.. Greeley's friends would regard as bis
best and strongest characteristics; at the
same time it is not written in the Auditory
style of the political partisan"

A horse attached to a buggy and driven
by two women, named Nan East and Sis
Hawkins. last evening took fright at the
corner Of Church and Spruce streets, and
made wild run through Church until he
reached Vine street, where he colided with
a hack in such violent manner as to up
set the buggy and throw the women out
upon the sidewalk il front of DR.. Ewes of
fee. Nan East was not hurt, but Sis Haw-
kins remained apparently lifeless for an
hour after the occurrence. She was taken
into the Office of DR.. Eve, where restora-
tives were successfully applied. No bones
were broken or serious bruises inflicted.
The frightened horse continued his mad
run to the corner of Church and Summer
streets, where he came in contact with a
lamp-post, and made complete wreck of
the buggy, which had been hired at Sam.
Blacks livery stable.

WAGES AND LIVING IN CALEFOE-



A letter from oFarmer's VIE" at Men
don, Il Dorado comfy, California, ex-
poses good deal OF the humbug about
high wages in California:
/ have a son % years old. He never
uses tobacco or any kidd of spirits, and IS a
desirable hand in the harvest field. He
went to San Jose last May, as We were able
to get along Without him on our farm. He
soon wrote me that wages we're low, as the
farmers were working Cinnamon Thirty
dollars is all they have gi en- month 10 the
Santa Clara Valley the past seven years,
except two months, when they clip ther
grain ard while the thresheT is going. Then
they viii give $40 to two or three hands
among twenty; the rest get s. day; and,
at the end of the month, the men that
have been getting 81 a day have not
as much money as thUse that get $40 q
month. The reason is, the machine breaks,
and the day hands have no work and no
pay; but they have 10 eat. In the morning
they are all called up at O'Clock and hur-
RED to the field by sunrise; in at II, and out
again at l, and work as long as it is light
enough to see head Of grain. IL is often
10 o'clock before they get their supper and
get to bed. This, I tell you, l know.
have lived in it and seen it all. California
is a glorious place for those that cone here
with plenty of money. They intend to get
labor below 81 day as soon as they can.
As soon as harvest is over they say there IS
labor on the railroad. Yes, at just 81 day
aud board yourself | have had men stop,
nearly worn out, and out of money, and
stay all night that had been to get work on
the railroad. l have been in California ten
years. This is the eighth season on q rancho;
until this year have lived in San Jose. |
have travelled in this State, and know all
wish to Of this beautiful land.
