Sale Of Knoxville and Charleston Railroad

At the hour appointed for the sale of the
Knoxville and Charleston Railroad, quite
a number of our railroad magnates could
be seen lingering around the court house,
and we had made up our mind to report a
lively contest and spirited bidding between
different parties. The general impression
seemed to be that the road could be sold
for from $50, 900 10 SIS, 900. At the proper
time Judge Mckinney made his appear
ance and read the advertisement announc.
ing the order of sale and stated the terms
to the effect that one third of the purchase
money would have to be paid down and
the remainder in three equal INSTALL
ments Of one. two and three years
payment. He further stated that
if the purchaser failed to meet any of the
installments as they came due he would
forfeit his right to the road with loss of
the amount paid, and concluded by stating
that he would start the road at one hum
dred thousand dollars in behalf of the
State, and asked the gentlemen present if
they desired to purchase to raise the bid.
This announcement seemed to come unex.
pectedly and created some surprise among
those who heard it.andsoon it beca me evil
dent that the bid of the State was little
abovewhatany one else was willing to give.
After waiting some little time to give par
ties an opportunity to raise the bid if they
SO desired, Judge Mckinney knocked it
off to the State at the figure above stated,
and thus ended the sale of the Knoxville
and Charleston Railroad.

NORTHERN CAPITALISTS VISITING
u KNOXVILLE.
Through the South by Rail.

A partyof prominent railroad officials
and capitalists on tour through the South
visited our city yesterday. Some three
weeks ago they left Philadelphia in a car
specially prepared for them, arranged for
sleeping, eating, cooking, and as q draw.
ing room. AT Louisville, KY. it was put
ON new trucks for the southern guage.
Mammoth Cave, Nashville, Montgomery,
New Orleans, Atlanta and Chattanooga
have been visited. The party travels by
day only, and take notes of the general
condition of the country. The party COM
prises the following gentlemen and ladies:
Alfred L. Dennis, President of the New
Jersey Railroad, with wife and son.
Josiah Bacon, of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, with wife and son.
VIM. w. Astor, New York. .
Beach Vanderpool and wife, pan: DoGd
and wife, 40. Keasbey and wife, Chas 1T.
wife and daughter, Newark, NJ j.
ABOUT THE CITY.
After partaking of good dinner at the
Franklin House, the party took carriages
and visited with P. Dickinson, Esq, the
Co., which all confessed was an establish
ment far ahead of any other they had seen
on their tour, and much more extensive
than any they expected to see here.
They also visited the East Tennessee
University. From the beautiful grounds
of the College, and from the observatory
they got fine view of our grand scenery.
To the South were the ranges of the Smoky
Mountains, to the North the Cumberland.
This view they pronounced the finest in
the South.
Lieut.. Thornburgh called out Bearden's,
Spence's and Crawford's Companies of
Cadets, whose drill won special praise.
From the University the party wentto
the National Cemetery by the Custom
House, the marble in which excited their
special attention. They called on Senator
Brownlow and then were escorted through
the grounds of P. Dickinson. Altogether
they pronounce Knoxville the pleasantest
city they have seen in the South, and they
60 back to the North pleased with our peo-
pie and growing city.
They leave this morning for Wytheville,
where they will spend tonight, thence
to Richmond.
They were called upon last night by
Hon. Horace Maynard, Maj. r. G. jack
son, Mayor Rule and DR.. Bailey. Col.
Jno. Brownlow and Mr.. Kicks were with
the party in their visits about the city.

It is worry ovldont that tho navy mon have do
terminod that tho Spanish war-veanel ArapileB
shall not loavo tho Brooklyn navy-yard until tho

cation definitely settled. OF course thore ia
nothing official in the detention Of this vessel,

onlcors wore exceedingly anxious to get their
slip out, the 1ood-gates Of tho navy-rard were
reported ont Of order, and they could not go.
On Saturday, q coal-barge, with 200 tons Of coal,

this think it iB very smart" md 4 good many
other people arc probably Of tho same mtud. As
matter Of fact, ii is small busncsa and looks
as though our navy people fenr that, If the Ara

II this treatment goes on in such a ray as to
make It apparent that tho Spanish mnn-of-war ia
