the following toast was given:
Tennessee-Central in her geograph-
zeal position, genial in her. climate
liberal and enlightened in hef gov.
ernment, with room for all.
Resposc by Gov John G.. Brown.
He said that he never felt half so
proud as in representing this grand
and glorious State. She our mother,
and they, as sons, revercd her tradi-
tons. Tennessee had contributed
three Presidents to the Government,
and sent Representatives to Congress
who had no superior in brillianGy aud
craftsmanship. She had fair and beau:
tlful women that could not be eclipsgd
by any other State in the Union. Ap-
plause In geographical position size
had no rival. She had %, 600, 900 acres

room for all who, wotild come within
her borders. She was ready to re-
ceive all whether from the North.
South, East or West, or from whatever
nations they might come, and add to
the renown and lustrc of the State.
He hoped her thousand miles OF rail,
road would be increased to 10000
miles, and that her million and o
quarter of population would be swelled
TO 50000O0; tliat ller broad acres
would be populated by men of all ma

CONVENTION.

At meeting of the State Execu-
tive Committee of the Democratic
party of Tennessee, hell in Nashville
on the 18th of March, in obedience to
the call Of the Chairman, the follow
ing proceedings were had.
Believing that the time has come
when the welfare, not only of our State,
but of the nation, demands that the
Democracy of Tennessee should lake
counsel together and prepare for har-
monlous action and an intelligent and
patriotic discharge of t,..eir duty in the
approaching cont"...s, both State and
national, the Democratic Executive
Committee for the State of Tennessee
do thc.efore, resolve
|, That Democratic State Conyen-
ton is hereby called to assemble at the
Capitol in Nashville, on Thursday. the
9Th day of May next, to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and to take
such other steps, in view of the an.
preaching State and Presidential cleo
tions, as the condition of the country
aud the circumstances then existing
may suggest; and that to this end we
urge upon the people in the differ
ent counties to assemble at as early
times as practicable, in primary meet
ings, and select suitable delegates to
represent them in said convention.
=. That recognizing the fact that the
people of Tennessee have common
interest in resisting the encroachments
of Capitalization and preserving a
republican government, as well as in
correcting the corruptions and abuses
which have become so widespread and
alarming; and believing that upon
these great questions there is little or
no material diversity of opinion among
them, we invite cooperation of all
conservative patriots by whatever par
ty name they may have heretofore been
called.
In accordance with the foregoing
resolution convention of the Demo;
cratic party Of Tennessee is called to
meet at the Capitol in Nashville. at u

THE JEFF RAILROAD.
Only One Nigh. Out 10 New Yor


hH impression seems to prevail
among the travelling portion of our
population that the famous through
line of Pullman palace cars via the
Louisville and Indianapolis line
"Jeff. road) to Eastern cities, has
been discontinued. To all who have
labored under this idea, we would say,
Danish il at once. The jeff. road was
the pioneer in establishment of thro'
car lines from Louisville to St louis,
Chicago, and Eastern cities, and its
management the first to conceive the
idea and push to successful completion
the great iron bridge over the falls Of
the Ohio, which joined, with iron
bands, the railroad systems of the
North and South, thus completing the
first "all rail route between the two
sections. The enterprise which has
in past character zed the effort of the
officers of this road in catering to the
comforts and convenience Of liz pat
rons has in no degree abated, and its
growing popularity as great through
line is warrant of the appreciation in
which it is held by the public. 1t still

Who Against Grant.

ing to the New York Times, which
says it is time for the Radicals who
oppose Grant, to say who they will
have in place of him, says:
Very we'll, Our first choice ii
Charles Francis Adams, the man who
made the wisest speech of all that
were heard in the American Congress
before the war, and who, during the
war, was Of inestimable service in
keeping US out Of European compli-
cations, and who, since the war, has
lived in dignified retirement, aud who,
while out of debt to the politicians,
has consummate knowledge Of them.
More than that, he can be elected

EDITORS CuRoS1CLE: The Tobacco
Leaf,-in its issue of April Sd, says
The proposition to subscribe the
bonds procured from the sale of stock
of the NJ. C. & L. Road was postponed
for the present. There is but little
doubt of its being carried, for our
people are beginning to see that this is
The only 'cdy % diminish our taxes.
BY paying this amount on our in
debtedness we but sare 81 900 of inter

Now the amount received by the
county for the above mentioned stock,
after paying Messrs. Quarles, House
and bailey, for collecting it, $4,000,
and other expenses, is about slS5, 900.
If the payment of this sum on our
county Indebtedness won't be one ,cay
to diminish our taxes, We think it
wrong to Cypress our people further
with that burden,
At any rate, We poor ignorant farm
ers would like to have little light on
the subject; for if we who are in debt,
and many of us are, can diminish our
indebtedness, or the interest on it, by
investing all the money We get in soIae
poor speculation we would like to do
so. Suppose we owed you for ten or
fifteen years subscription to the
CHRONICLE, and we finally, after hard
struggling, succeeded in getting nearly
enough money to pay you, would you
advise us to pay you, or invest the
money in railroad stock? Under the
same circumstances, suppose We owed
Mr.. Tobacco Leaf what would he ad-
wise us to do? One more question, if
you please, Mr.. Editor, suppose you
both, yourself and Mr.. Tobacco Leaf,
should by chance advise us to invest
our ten or fifteen years subscription
money in railroad stock, and We should
by chance get rich in that operation
and have SlS5,0O0 to lend, shall We
let it go at 6 per cent, the lowest law
full interest of the State, and only get
5000 per year? or should We GET sfI, !.

ers are also readers of the Tobacco

lightencd ON the subject.

TENNESSEE JoKE.-On the strength
of the excitement lately occasioned by
the announcement that Confederate
cotton bonds and shin plasters' might
soon have an increased marketable
value, an cnterprisiDg shoemaker at
Nashville, caused an advertisement to
be Inserted in the Banner, to the effect
that he was prepared to give seventy
cents in the dollar" for old, and fifty
cents for new issue of Confederate
money. The offer proved so tempting
that the street in front of his store
was crowded to excess On the follow
ing morning, Old men and old women
from every part of the surrounding
country were on hand with carpet bags
and yaliscs, containing paper repre-
senting thousands Of dollars. The
FIRST man who entered the store had
parcel of some 5000, 900, and his utter
astonshmcut may be better imagined
than described when the audacious
Crlspin drew the pile toward him, and
paid over TO the owner one half the
amount in notes of precisely the same
value aud issue, For the reason that
few men like to allow themselves TO
remain the only victims of such huge
joke, the fun was continued for several
days, much to the amusement of those
who had been in the secret from the
first, and to the disgust Of certain
sharp ones who had been so far misled
as to have attempted corner" in the
market,
