SAVE ON YOUR SEWER BILLS.

The general sewer tax has been more promptly
paid than any other general assessment made by
the Board Of Public Works. This can be mainly
attributed TO the very large discount obtained BY
parties In paying their bills. b. H. Warner, cor
ner Of Seventh and streets, having purchased .
large number Of bonds ct reduced hgures, offers
for three days only 10 pay sewer taxes as dis-
count Of twenty eeVen per cent.

A few weeks since We copied from the

what upon Rev. John A. Lansing, of this

that gentleman injustice. The following
communication on the subject was received
from him yesterday:

THE LEGISLATIVE CANVASS.
speeches by Maj Wade .nd Col. An
dersOn, at che Corner OF Market and
Rraod Streets.

BraOd Streets.
Pursuant 10 announcement, Maj. Joe
Wade and Col. John II. Anderson, adj
dressed their fellow citizens last night, al
the corner of Market and Broad, occupying
a stand made Of plank resting upon two
barrels. Tie attendance was small, in con
sequence of which fact, the speeches were
quite brief.
Mai. Wade led off by announcing that
he had been nominated by the Democratic
County Convention, as a candidate for the
State Senate. He said he was opposed to
the present high rate of taxation, and that
he would, if elected, do all in. his
power to reduce the State expenditures.
lie was also opposed to the Civil Rights
Bill on general principles, as he believed
its enforcement would have the effect of
retarding civilization. History had shown
that two races could not live together upon
terms of equality.
Col. Anderson then took the stand and
stated that he had been nominated candi-
date for the Lower House. If successful in
the canvass, he would enter upon his duties
with keen pruning knife with which to
/ Iop of every branch and twig not neces-
sary to the prosperity of the body polite.
Referring to the State debt, he said he
had been examining the Comptroller's
books and had found the debt 10 be ST.
$4,000, to pay which we had $3.50, OK, 00l
the assessed wealth Of the State. The ex-
pense of running our courts could, be
thought, be very much reduced, and be
cited the fact that the expense Of the last
term Of our Criminal Court was S23,700
which amount was largely in excess Of
what il should have been. He excused
himself for making so brief a speech by
saying that there had been so much public
speaking of late that the people of Nash
Vile had been surfeited thereby. In clos
ing, he paid high tribute to the characteI
of Judge Porter.

An Open Letter.-NAsHvILLE, Tenn,
Sept. Is, IST4.-Mr. J. r. GOlladay, Bowl
inc Green, KY: Dear Sir-In response to
the request contained in your letter of the
18th inst, we take pleasure in making for
YOU the following statement concerning the
real estate sold to you by US, and now Of
fered by you as prizes in yOur drawing, to
take place Oct. 20, 1874: The 2,214 acres
of land in Harris and Chambers counties,
Texas; forming the second and last prizes
in your October drawing, is a fine body OF
land. andes correctly described in your
Monthly Visitor. Our agents, who are
trustworthy in every respect, have con-
stantly advised us to sell no portion Of this
land at less price than ten dollars per acre.
The property on Market street, in Nash
vile, Tenn, forming prizes numbered ), q,
8, 0 and 10, is correctly described in your
MONTHLY Visitor. The property is located
in the center Of the business portion Of the
city, and being a portion Of the original
grant from the State of North Carolina to
the State of Tennessee for educational pur-
poses, will be entirely free from taxation,
State. county or municipal, for the next
ensuing eleven years. The houses are all
rented at paying prices, and we regard the
property as very valuable. The 1O3 acres
of improved property, three miles from
Nashville, on the Dickinson pike, the ten
acres near Edgefield, George 5. JOhnsOn's
residence) the seven and One-half acres adj
Joining the above, and the building lot on
College street, in Nashville, Tenn, are all
correctly described in your Monthly Visitor.
This property is valuable and desirable in
/ every way, and the prices put upon It rather
below that above its value. The above
statement may be verified by any persons
interested who will investigate for them
selves. In conclusion, permit us to say
that. having had our attention directed to
your Gift Enterprise, particularly to your
drawing held in Nashville, Tenn, July rs,
we take pleasure in expressing our entire
confidence in the fairness of your drawings,
and the bona fde and valuable character
of the prizes distributed by yon. Very re-
spectfully, yours, etc, Hampton }. Cheney,

Free transportation Played Out.

Tie Mayors office is generally besieged
by crowds Of people of all cplOrs and oo.=
ditions, who are in search Of free tranSpor-
tation. 1t WOuld be safe TO say that al least
fnur-fflhs Of the applications for passes are
made bv persons not deserving Of the city's
charity. Upon assuming the duties OF his
Office, our new Mayor was attacked by
small army of these people, but, until yes
ter,lay, he managed TO get along without
giving any free passes. He says he will
ALWAYS aid the helpless and destitute, but
desires to warn "Outsiders" from coming
to Nashville expecting aid. If they are
able to walk 10 Nashville, he says they are
able to walk to their destination, and. if
their friends aid them in reaching this city,
they must assist them in getting beyond
our lines, or the paIties will be arrested AZ
vagrants.
Mayor Howell received yesterday letter
from Mayor Simms, of Chattanooga, asking
for transportation for poor woman nom
this city to Louisville, and adding, IN a
postscript, a proposition for holding con-
vention of the Mayors of cities and towns
in this vicinity, in order to fix upon some
satisfactory arrangement for furnishing
Transportation to deserving people, aud
guard against imposition. To this letter
SlayOr Howell responded f2yOrably, and
heartily conceded with the suggestion.

The Promineut Candidates for City
Offices

OEnCCS-
Next Thursday night, all the city offices,
with the exception of those of Revenue
Collector, Workhouse Keeper and City At
torney will be filled by the City Council.
Candidates for the respective positions are
not lacking and, from present indications,
il will not be found necessary TO advertise
for persons to assume the duties of any CT
the offices.
For the position of City Recorder, the
present incumbent, Judge Duling, and Mr..
Jas. F. PentecOst are prominently mention
ed as aspiranis.
Mr.. AnsonNelsOn is the only man spoken
OF in connection with the Office Of City
Treasurer, and he will no doubt be elected
by reclamation, as he was last year, and as
he ought to be.
Capt. Stockell, r. S. Patterson and T. A
Hughes have each signifed willingness to
serve the city Chief Of the Fire Depart
ment.
For the Office Of Superintendent Of the
Waterworks, James Wyatt, the present in
cum6ent, VIM. Douglas and VIM. johnson
seem to be the fayOrites.
John Edwards will probably be the only
connection john l.. Glenn will have in his
endeayor to be reelected Water Tax Col
lectOr.
As aspirants for the position of Street
Overseer, we have Vim. Hsslam, present in=
cumbent, Pat Griffin, Jacob Geiger, V Ird,
Alley and Vim. DOdd. Pat MallOy has
been spoken of in this connection, but he
desires to be counted out.
CITY Marshal Piitman will probably be
reelected if he can poll more votes than
either John Allison or Milt Ryman.
As competitors for the Office of Assistant
City Marshal, We have George Norvell,
who now fills the position with credit TO
himself and the city, Andrew Creighton,
Capt. John Bateman, VIM. Stone and Jack
Sloan.
VIM. Dashiel will probably walk over
| the track in the balloting for the position
Of first engineer Of the waterwolks, while
George w. Carlin and John Kinney will
compete for that of second engineer.
In addition TO the names given above,
others will probably be brought forward
the night of the election, and lively time
may be anticipated.

A,temat 10 wreck n Train.

Yesterday morning, about l O'Clock, the
passenger train, which had left this city at
1910 the night before, on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, was thrown OF the
track at Franklin. Ky.
The accident, which was Occasioned by
cross-tie being set endWays in cattle-gap,
would doubtless have been attended with
disastrous results had it not been for the
fact the speed of the train was consider
ably checsed as it neared the station. As
it was, only the engine and the baggage
car were turned over, and nobody was seri-
ously hurt.
