The democratic State convention OF
Tennessee last week endorsed Greeley
and Brown, saying that for the democrats
to make nominations for president and
vice president this year, it would be "un-
wise, unnecessary and exceedingly dem
yerous." Very good. Nothing so IN
MIGRATING now in the political world as
to see the democrats marching on for
Greeley.

"A Baltimore man was recently ap-
pointed to clerkship at $1,000 salary,
but failed to pass the examination. His
wife applied for it, received the appoint
ment and performed the duties required.
1t is dangerous for wooer who is not
exactly in earnest to brag of his prop
erty. The English newspapers tell of a
farmer at Leeds who not long ago was
mulcted in the sum of e400 for not mar
rying a young woman after he had
promised to do so. His attorney, seek
ing for a reduction of damages in the
common pleas, declared that e400 was
more than all the property the defen-
dant had in the world. But unfortu-
nately, it had appeared in evidence that
the farmer. while paying his court to
the plaintiff, had told her that he was
worth $4,000, and it was decided that he
must raise the full sum.
"A crime similar in its features to
the celebrated Nathan tragedy, was per-
petrated in New York, Friday night
G. II. Phelps, jeweler, residing at the

thieves engaged in robbing his premises
and coming suddenly upon them, one o.
the robbers discharged pistol at him
the ball taking effect in the left breas
and wounding him fatally. The thieves
escaped, one of them leaving his hat be
hind him.

EXPRESS PAoKAGEs.-The American
Union Express Company have introduce
ed the plan of prepayment of charges
on certain classes of goods, by means of
stamps. The stamps range in price from
FIVE to forty-five cents each, and pack
ages weighing as much as fifteen pounds
can be sent prepaid by this means.

The Cincinnati Gazette confirms
the view we have heretofor advanced,
viz: that the question to be decided in
the coming campaign, stripped of all
DISCUSSES. is, - Are the people of the
United States prepared to return to the
principles and practices of the Democra-
cyY7 This is the question, in the event
Of a coalition or in the event of sepa-
rate Democratic nomination. Says the
Gazette, in support of this view Z" Let
no republican close his eyes to the real
issue. Just as much as ever the country

Democracy, inspired with the same old
hopes, animated by the same old prinei
piles. that it has been inspired and ami
mated by for the last twenty years.

Mr.. Greeley retires from the Tribune,
in card on Wednesday. He says: CAL

candidate, is at the best irksome and

closely scanned by thousands, eager to
find 10 it what may be SO interpreted as
to annoy and perplex those who are

undersigned therefore withdraws, abso

these trustees had their hands tied by strict
legal rules, which crippled them on every
side. They not only succeeded to an en-
barrassed concern, but they could not de-
velOp its real value, because they were at
disadvantage both in raising money and ap-
plying it. Besides, they were put into a
false relation to the Stockholders, TO whom
they were not amenable in the simple ca
pacity of chosen agents. This gave rise to
unfounded suspicious, while it cut off the
usual facilities for disproving them which
exist in all responsible corporations and
left them to attain an exaggerated form,
more disastrous 10 the road than 10 the Trus-
tees.
The Journal severely deprecates the at
tacks which have been made upon the Trus-
tees. not only because they were misrepre-
sensations, but because their effect IS 10 iniure
the property Of the road itself. In conclu-
sion it appeals to the merchants of Boston t.

tees and run it a a corporation, well oti-

When this Is done, the question arises
what plan can be adopted for placing the
road on some permanent footing to relieve II
If Trust mana cement.
The managers cannot too strongly urge
upon the security holders the necessity for
devi,ing some plan TO place the road under
a corporate management. 1t i SUBJECT
which the managers have more than once
before urged upon the attention Of the
parties in interest.
The property Is too large and involves TOO
important interests to be continued IN rs
present form Of management.
The managers would, therefore, suggest
the appointment Of a Committee OF Confer
ence, from the various classes OF securities
10 meet with them at an early day to take
this subject into consideration.
The managers will most cordially coop
