Revenue Collector.
To the Union and American:

~ IA AAADh anu
In these times of wild and extravagant
administration of official positions, it be-
hOoves the tax paying community to be
careful in the selection of their public
officers, and this importance is attached to
no office with more weight than 10 that OF
the office of Revenue Collector. 1t is a
fact, much to be regretted, that our State
warrants, county warrants, jury tickets,
witness fees, coupons, and other evidences
of debt are at a heavy discount. There is
also now pending before the Supreme
Court of the State, an action to compel the
State to receive in payment Of taxes and
other dues to the State the new or TOrbett
issue of the Bank of Tennessee. Ii will
thus be seen that should the tax collector
think more of his own interest than Of the
interest of the people, he has it in his pow
er to trade in these evidences OF debt,
greatly to the damage of the State as well
as of the citizens. In the selection OF a
man then to collect our taxes, we should
select one who is kROIcR to be above re-
proach, one who has been tried and not
found wanting, one who will pay over to
the State such money as he collects from the
~ax-payer. In Thomas II. Sneed, Esq, the
present revenue collector, we have such a
man. He has filled the position for nearly
two years, and not one whisper has ever
been uttered that he was not dealing
fairly with the State and county. Let us
not then trade good for uncertainty, but
knowing as We do that we have an honest,
upright, capable revenue collector, let us
re-elect him by a large and overwhelming
majority. CITIZEN.

CITY HOsnifaI.I

We understand that an earnest effort is
now being made to establish a city hospital.
That such an institutions needed here, and
that one will be eventually established no
one doubts. DR.. 5. II. Bundy, physician
in charge of the St. Vincent Hospital, has
been highly recommended as a proper per
son to take charge of a city hospital, and
in this connection the following clipping
from the Marion (Il.) Aduocate, will be
read with interest: ave regret very much
TO learn that DR.. S. II. Bundy, for nearly a
quarter of a century n of the most dis
tinguished physicians in Southern Illinois,
has finally been overcome by his love for
the scenes of of his childhood and re-
turned to his native Tennessee, and located
in her beautiful and historic capital. While
we lose one of our foremost, most valuable
citizens, Democracy her most finished
writer and speaker, Nashville gains a
genial, warm-heaIted, whOlesoul citizen, a
noble physician, and, as u medical friends
say, one of the most skillful chlorOformists
in The land.r

olence and mercy. The interesting pro

Coal aud IrHn OF Tennessee.

We have received two chapters OF the
forthcoming report of Col. J. &. Killehrew
as Secretary Ofthe Bureau of Agriculture
on the of Tennessee. These
chapters are published in advance of the
entire report on the subject OF Iron and
Nails, and form a neat pamphlet Of6O pages.
They are almost exhaustive of the subject,
containing more facts for the practical
worker than have ever before reached the
public in similar form, and indeed most of
them have never heretofore reached the
general public at all. 1t cannot fail to
strike every reader as a most admirable
eompend; and the capitalist and all who
may contemplate entering into these great
branches of industry, may rely upon the
accuracy of the statements made.
These advanced chapters will sharpen
the desire for the whole report, which we
are promised in about six weeks. This
work will, we have no doubt, be of meal
culable value to the State, and to allclasses
of our people. Its treatment of the differ
ent soils, their capacities and needs, in the
different Divisions of the State, will open
new fields of practical advantage TO the
farmer. In fact all interests will find an
able exposition in this admirable report.

Alarm


To FOUR MEMBERS OF THE FIRE COM-
MuTTEE: Your communication of Friday
is before me. To my mind it embraces but
four points:
1. That | have sought through the papers
to impugn the motives of members of the
City Council.
2. In relation to the fire alarm, 1 have
misrepresented and misstated the facts in
every particular.
3. / do not state any fact of my own
knowledge.
4. That l have used doubtful phrases to
prejudice and mislead the public before
the truth was known.
). That The Memphis proposition is thus
and so.
After adduciDg all these naughty things
against me without giving a shadow OF
proof to sustain them, you pronounce
them gross falsehOods.
Well, gentlemen of the Z. C., / likewise
pronounce them falsehoOds, and l hereby
agree TO find the man who struck Billy
Patterson, and treat each member of the
City Council to a plate Of workhOuse hash;
Providing, you or any other man will prove
before a Deaderick street magistrate that l
am guilty Of any of the above allegations,
or thai your representation of the Mem
phis proposition las in comparison with
that of Nashville) is correct.
Come again, gentlemen Of the +. c.

That Communication from IN Fire
committee.

Through inadvertence the closing portion
of the reply made to Councilman Luck by
the Fire Committee was left out OF our
issue of yesterday. Said portion is as fol-
lows:
ssThe gentleman alluded TO, with a -four
ish, says that he represents the taxpayers
of Nashville. Now, we ask in all fairness
that he tell how many taxpayers he repre-
scented when he counted his dollars by the
thousand that he received for popping a few
crackers on Capitol hill for a Fourth OF
July celebration during the Alden admins
tration? Just such contracts as that is
what the taxpayers appreciate, you know"
The communication was signed by NJ. A.
