| ing law in Tennessee is connected with
this railroad lease, as the AUolonche init
mates. 1t says:
We hope Mr.. Wilson has no connection
! with Mr. Jaques' card, and we really be-
| lieve that he has not, but the association
naturally suggested n reference to Mr.. Will
son and his funding ring. To Mr.. Wilson
the officers and board of directors were led
like sheep to slaughter pen, and made a
sacrifice of them all as a sort of side-show,
after he had crammed the funding job
through the Tennessee Legislature. But
it is not necessary for us to remind the di-
rectors of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad Company that one member of the
Southern Security Company will not be
any more honest than the laws of the land
constrain him to be. HIS doings in con-
nection with the funding job will come to
the light at the proper time.
Now the public would like to be enlight-
ened about how Mr.. Wilson led the direct
ors of the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road +" like sheep to slaughter pen, and
made sacrifice of them as o sort of side
show" &c. And in reference to "his doings
in connection with the funding job" we
will take some Interest in their exposure if
they are as the AUdJanche intimates. If
the avalanche has the facts necessary to
such exposition, and we are not saying
that it has not, it is proving untrue to itself
and to the people by Withholding them
By all means, let us have them
Don't be carping forever about what will be
done lat the.proper time, but tell US when
the proper time will come. Let us have

We would like to see this whole Memphis

gated, though we do not now nor never
did own dollar of stock, and if exposures
did not follow, then we are mistaken.

TENNESSEE CREDIT MoBILIER.

II is fact well known to the people oil
the State, that Col Jno. c. Burch, of the
Union and american. was appointment as
pirant before the Legislature last winter,
for the office of Comptroller. He didn't
get it, Hobbs did. Hobbs after holding
it a short time resigned. The Nashville
Bulletin. says ii has found out the reason
of his resignation. 1t says
He now states, freely and openly, that
he received twelve thousand dollars for
the position. His friends were mortified
that he should thus transfer his office for a
consideration, but he treats it as an affair
of business.
Yes. IAN affair of business" indeed If
this be true, and the public will so treat it,
unless the fact is denied and its correct
ness disproved, are not the Democratic pol
itcians of Tennessee pretty set of fellows
to be talking about credit mobilier? How
does it look to an honest man. Hobbs
awards certain public printing to Messrs.
Wheeler, Marshal q Bruce, of Nashville,
for So, 500 less than the Public Printers pro-
pose to charge for it. An injunction is
procured. Hobbs gets sick. He resigns.
One of the Public Printers is appoint
ed in his stead. Now Hobbs boasts,
according to the Bulletin, that
he sold out for tlUelre thousand dol
lars. Who paid him that sum? Are the
legitimate fees of the office so large that
a man can afford to pay so much for it ="
Does the transaction bear honesty of pur-
pose on its face? Did Gov. Brown know
anything about it before he appointed the
present Comptroller? If the facts are as
stated by the Bulletin, how is this for
credit mobilier? We shall look with in
terest for a denial.

THE TENNESSEE CREDIT MoBIL1ER.

In our last issue we published that por-
ton of Col. Burch's card, wherein he de-
mics having paid Mr.. Hobbs, late Comp
troller, $4,000 for resigning that office.
The Union and american, Col Burchs
paper, publishes his card with the follow
ing introduction:
We received yesterday copy of the
Nashville Bulletin, q Radical weekly pub
lished in the city, and edited until within
the last few weeks by ]. p. Rexford, a
leading negrophilist, now deceased; de
mortltis nil niSi JOnltn1. Common report
has it, how truly we cannot say, that the
present editor and successor of Rexford is
Judge j. o. Shaekelford, formerly OF
GAINESVILLE, in this State, at one time as
we have heard q contiscating agent or
commissioner of the Confederate States
more recently when it paid better to be
"loyal,n a DISTINGUISHING Judge of the
Supreme Court. His "brief authority
terminated with the restoration of the bal
lot to the white people of the State.
Now we submit to any candid, fair
minded man, if the Comptroller has in
any way improved his case by this attack.
Does it not look very much as if he was
dissatisfied with his own explanation,
and fearing that others might be also, he
gives it a " clincher by showing that the
charge comes from D." radical" source?
This style of argume mt may suit
some men, but we blush for our
kind when we think there are such
men. Suppose Judge Shackelford did
make the charge, (but he denies any con-
nection with the paper in which it APP
peared.) and it should prove true, is it any
mitigation that it was first made pub
lie by "radical?n We think not.
If such charge were made against us,
we would deny it and demand the proof.
Col Burch denies the charge, it is true, but
Why attack a dead man, and also a living
one who had no connection with the mat
ter We repeat, that every fair-minded,
unprecedented man will say that he has not
improved his case by such course.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ITS ALLIES

The New York World comes to us with
long double Headed editorial on the
Democratic party and its allies" BY cal
lies" it means the Liberal Republicans, So
called and the Farmers Oranges. 1t COM
pliments the former, by saying that the
only difference between them and other
Republicans is, their personal hatred of
Grant. 1t says, and truthfully, we have
no doubt, that Greeley, Sumner, Trumbull
or Gen. Banks would gladly have accepted
the nomination of the Philadelphia Con-
vention if they could have got it. 1t thinks
il most preposterous that the Democrats
should abandon their organization, to en-
ter a new one on the basis of Republican
ism minus Grant. The World thinks the
Farmers Oranges and the Liberal Repub-
licans may prove valuable nurseries of De-
mocracy, but as yet they are "mere shoots
and seedlings Isn'tthat complimentary
the Liberals and farmers? To be con-
sidered the offshoots and seedlings OF the
old Democratic party, with its horrible
record of corruption, prostitution and
blood-shed!
The World will find it an uphill BUSH
ness when it attempts to force a
marriage of the Liberals and Farmers
Oranges to the old harlot which it has en-
braced and defended so long. 1t will be
equally hard to get them to look upon the
old prostitute as mother. Her halcyon
days have passed. There is nothing about
her now to fascinate, or charm, or admire,
or even respect. When the wheels of
progress turn back and move the other
way, then there will be some hope of in
ducing the American people to embrace
the Democratic party. When free schools,
internal improvements, the discoveries of
science, and the rapid strides of civiliza-
ton become unpopular, then Democracy
may become popular, but not before.
The World may waste its strength in
long-winded, double-leaded editorials, adj
vising the seedlings and off-shoots" of
their relations to what it would have US
believe is the main stem, but all to no
1t is all "too thin to bear in
spection under the light of this advanced
age.

THE MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON ROAD.

The Memphis papers continue to dis
cusss the affairs of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad Company. The dis
cussion grows warmer instead of abating
1t seems to us at this distance, as if the
business of the road in the past, before it
came under the present management, has
been so bunglingly or corruptly discharg-
ed, that it will be difficult for the stock
holders to reach a satisfactory conclusion
rowed, debts contracted, dividends paid,
all in a helter-skelter sort of way, and now
no one seems to know exactly how.
SO much has been said and written of
late that Captain Jaques, manager of the
road, contrary to his custom, has publish
ed a card showing the approximate earn
ings of the road since he has managed it.
Every one accords honesty OF purpose to
Captain Jaques, and all agree as TO his eff
ficiency as a railroad man. The ApDeul
alludes editorially to his card and says:
"There is not wOrthier gentleman i'm
social or professional life that Capt. Joseph
Jaques, Of the Memphis and Charleston
road His statements of facts are final and
uuquestionable, and with this assertion OF
| his truthfulness, we ask attention TO his
letter in another place. He manages the
road and admirably well. He is constant
| ly improving it, and if he have the means
| will soon make it as perfect as the ballast
ed portion of the line in East Tennessee
which he manages with infinite skill
Read Captain Jaques' letter.
The AraJanche also endorses Captain
Jaques, but alludes in uncomplimentary
serms to Mr.. II. Il. Wilson, President Of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgii
Railroad Company. We are not defending
Mr.. Wilson. We presume he will do thai
himself when he considers it necessary
! but we cannot see how his favoring fund

If Democratic papers were always un~
improbable authority, that party might
be put down as a set of the best fellows in
the world. Not thief could be found in
all its ranks. Upon the contrary to be u
Republican would imply disposition to
steal and plumber. Ex-senator Pugh, of
Ohio, seems to put the matter in a little
different light. He made speech in Gin
cinnati on Monday evening at Third.
Party meeting, in which he said:
AS for myself, could have had the
warmest corner on the hearth-stone if /
had only shut my mouth against the steal
ing going on among the Democrats. Why,
my friends, look at Butler county. Good
200 Democratic majority. Less than two
years ago they took the money out of her
treasury and left her without cent, and
compelled her Senator to appeal to the
Legislature of Ohio for leave to use her
credit to pay the ordinary expenses of her
administration. Look at the Democratic
county of Fairfield, and see how her assets
have been stolen and her people robbed. /
leave Republicans to speak of Republican
counties. L am reproached enough for
calling attention to the Democratic dens
of thieves. Loud applause / will speak
of Hamilton county that is coming home.
Applause -Four auditors-two Demo
cratic and two Republican-in this our
own county, have stolen more than $780,
900 of the peoples money, and although
Judge Force has decided the law against
them, they got board of Democrats and
Republicans unanimously to vote in favor
of releasing the cause of action"

COL. BURCH DENIES.

Yesterday we alluded to a statement III
the Nashville Bulletin, charging that Col.
Hobbs, late Comptroller of the State
Treasurer had freely stated that he had re-
ceived in consideration of his resignation
the sum of 1000. The Union and Amert-
can of Friday morning contains card of
denial from Col. Burch. He alludes to the
public printing, denies that he is interestec
in IL together with other allegations, and
says:
To all of which allegations and any in
nuendoes of the article referred to, con-
Meeting me or any of my friends with any
bargain or sale of the COMPREHENSIVE, I
have to say: l am not one of the public
printers nor was / during Mr.. Hobbs term,
of office, nor in any way interested with
them. / am not and was not one of the
complainants in the bill filed by the pub
lie printers against Mr.. Hobbs. / never
bought Mr.. Hobbs office nor authorized
any one else to buy it from him. | never
spoke nor wrote to Mr.. Hobbs about his
resigning,ss NOR authorized any one else to
speak or write to him upon the subject.
never paid him cent directly or indirect
~, nor contracted, nor agreed to do so. /
never authorized any one else to pay, nor
contract, nor agree to pay him anything to
secure his resignation, nor for any other
purpose. l never had a bargain with him
of any sort, and L never authorized any
one else to bargain with him for me or in
my behalf. l owe him nothing aud never
did. L have paid nothing to get the Office
which 1 now hold, nor have L promised TO
pay anything to Mr.. Hobbs or to any one
else.
Here are point blank denials. The,
Comptroller says he didn't pay cent for
the office, nor never authorized any of his
friends to make a bargain with Mr.. Hobbs.
Now if Mr.. Hobbs has made such a state,
ment as the Bulletin says he has, it will
be interesting to know where the $4,000
came from which he received in consider
alton of his resignation.

CHURCH UNION.

Some time ago we wrote, an article on
the subject of Church union, and said that
until it was brought about, or better rea-
sons given for separate and distinct organ
izatiOn of the. same Churches it
would be legitimate subject for discus
sion in the secular papers. Speaking of
the Methodist Church, the st. Louis DEM
ocrat in late issue says:
If the Methodist Church will not so
far forget the past as to heal breach oc-
casioned by an issue and fact which are
both dead, how can we expect great doctrin-
al lines of division to be ignored for the
sake of unity of all the sects of Protes-
tantism? Can we expect the Presbyterian
to give up the doctrine of election, and the
Baptist to waive his faith in immersion, if
the Methodists won't quit wrangling
among themselves over what ceased to be
a debatable question ten years ago? Must
it be said of the Methodist Church of
America that it was the first to divide and
and the last to unite on strictly political
question? 1t certainly was the first to di-
vide, and John G.. Calhoun was secession
list enough to hail the schism with joy, and
prophet enough to say that it was the first
step in the direction of sectional strife and
separation.
Can the Methodist Church afford to di-
vide on such an issue? Are the members
of this large and influential denomination
willing to stand before the world in such
an attitude? We say they can not. They
dare not. Such course can not be justi-
fed.

matter of secondary consideration. If sue
cessful, it must become so with the united
efforts of all the people. Every one should
do something. Let the matter be talked
of in every neighborhood and every fami-
ly, and let preparations be made for a full
representation of all the industries of every
community. Do not let it be said that the
time is too far ahead to be getting up en-
lost. Let all the people arouse themselves,
and let them work from now on with an
energy that knows no such thing as fail

THE Memphis Avalanche says:

"Mr. Hobbs, the ex-Comptroller of the
State, is an open-minded man, and carries
his soul in his sleeve. The Nash
lille Bulletin, the official Republican
organ, under the management of
w. +. Prosser, Postmaster of Nashville,
and once the Congressman from that
district, declares that Hobbs tells
the story of his being purchased as sharp
business transaction. The Funding Ring
could not transact their business through
Hobbs, because he was deficient in menta;
capacity. He displayed sufficient capac
ity to farm out the office, aud retired to
the country"
So it appears from the avalanche, that
it knows something about this " farming
out" business. 1t holds to the theory that
Hobbs went out because he wasn't accep-
table to the funders," and if so, we pre-
sumo these gentlemen paid him the sl2,-
600. We insist OH the Audlanche making
public some of the names. Let us know,
Mr.. Araldnche, all you know about the
Hobbs-Burch business.

GEN. KEMPER, the Democratic nominee
for Governor in Virginia, was Brigadier
General ia the Confederate service. He
entered the service early in the war as
Captain of battery and distinguished
himself as an artillery officer. He was
promoted as above, and participated ac-
lively in all the Virginia campaigns, sur
rendering at the close of the war with
Gen. Lee He is said to be man of abili-
ty, and good stumper. The campaign in
the Old Dominion may now be considered
as fairly opened.

If it were not for the fact that they went
into the matter with open eyes, we would
pity the handful of so-called liberals in
Ohio. With the knowledge they ought to
have possessed of the Democratic party
they should have had more sense than to
suppose that old party would abandon its
organization to take up with weaker one

his request that they would prepare state
Inents of grievances which they suffer
