New York Enterprise.

A New York letter to the st Louis
Republican says: Speaking Of bridges
reminds me that some time during the
last century bridge was projected be-
tween this city and Brooklyn. Its pro.
crossing rapedIy. Every alternate three
months stone is hoistcd on one or other
of tho piers extra papers are issued an.
nouncing the fact, and n committee is
appointed by the Common Council TO
90 to the river and see if it is true then
there is correspondence for the next
twelve months between the Mayors Of
the two cities as to who shall pay for
it. They expect to have tho bridge
completed when the comet comes around
again"

Disappointed TennesseeanS.

The Memphis Ledger says: Letters

Texas TO better their condition, give
anything but encouragement TO others

not TO go to Texas. lie says there aIe
more people there now than can be fed
during the next fall and winter. and not

this year, In many places in that State
the corn crop is total failure. Hun
drcds of persons who have left other
States and gone to Texas, are anxious
to get back, but are out Of money, and
IT costsnore to get back than it did TO

A Memphian correspondent of the
Knoxville Press and Herald suggests

ernor. Col. e. is good fellow, who
was around here some years ago in the
capacity Of provost marshal, and would
no doubt make splendid run in this
country. If West Tennessee has any
more male citizens whose names have
not been mentioned in connection with
the gubernatorial candidacy, we hope
she will not be too modest TO trot them

The Second District.

IL is said some Of the Democrats in
the Second District are urging Colonel
Will Henderson, Of Knoxville, 10 run
for Congress. We rendered that can.
didacy several weeks ago to Capt. Bill
HARRISON, Of Monroe county, who very
wisely declined it. Let us hope the 9TH
or gentleman referred to will act with
similar promptncss and Judgment. II
our Democratic friends in the Second
will have the sense TO fold their arms in
serenity and LET her rip, they will see
the most interesting three handed fami.
ly fight ever witnessed in Tennessee.
We anticipate lively time in the Third,
but nothing in comparison with the en-
tcriainment preparing for our friends OF
the Second.

"Sonator Gordon denies that he ever
claimed any intimacy with President
Grant, or to know anything of his po-
litical views or purposes from any con-
versation with him; that he has never
had any communication with General
Grant as to party organization or pro-
grammes, past, present or future"
We don't supposo any thoughtful per-
son ever believed the statement which
Gen. Gordon now thinks necessary to
contradict. 1t was as plausible how
ever, and as much entitled &c credit, as
nine.tenths of the gossip and flummery
that reaches the public from the direc-
ton of Washington.

Internal War.

We lake II for granted that every De-
mocratic newspaper and every Conserv.
alive voter IL sincere in the desire TO
carry the State next November by a
handsome majority. And yet some Of
the party papers aud politicians are en-
gagged in warning upon the present State
government and upon one another. In
other words, there is lively fight 60
ing on inside The party, which we think
is working more mischief and doing
more harm than all the opposition the
Republican press can bring to bear.
And what Is more remarkable still,
these same parties while carrying on
this suicidal work find time TO exhort
and preach the gospel of peace, harmo.
ny and Cancellation TO their brethren.
Errors have no doubt occurred and mis-
takes been made, but why our own par.
ty papers and party aspirants should be
continually parading them before the
public is one Of those mysteries in
party strategy which we frankly con-
TESS our inability 10 comprehend.
We abhor party servility, and never
hesitate to speak out when measures OF
doubtful policy and soundness are pend
ing; but to maintain mastery silence
while they are pending, and then, after
they have been enacted into laws, have
done their work and are beyond the limit

If we cannot defend all the acts

pen TO differ in respect TO questions OF
local policy. Some Of us are sincere in
our opposition to the Republican party
and believe the most important thing Ia
be done right now is to organize aud

But it is hardly worth while TO attempt
it until better and wiser spirit is man.

Western Corn Crnn.

A letter from the Goethe Brothers
Provision Brokers, Cincinnati, says in
regard to the corn crop in that dircc.
ton: Ut did look a little doubtful a
week or ten days since, but we have

Bread and Meat.

One effect Of the Grange organiza-
ton in Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi, already apparent, is diminished
area Of cotton and q largely increased
production of corn and small grain.
From present indications, in less than
three years tho States named will pro.
duce n sufliciency of corn and meat for
home consumption. And then, aud
then only, they will begin to feel really
independent.

The Democracy of New York.

A correspondent of the Public Led
ger writes on the 18th:
The Democratic leaders, such of them
as are in the city, are not little put
out" by tho plank in the lndiana Demo
cratic platform which proposes TO pay
of the national debt in grceubaoks, and
after brief consultation at the Man
haitian Club, they had come 10 the con-
clusion that something must be done to
counteract the bad effect il must have
on the 'all elections. Gov, Hendricks
chances for Tie next Presidential nom
ination were considered second to none
previous 10 the adoption o. the plank in
question; now his friends say he will
have TO take back seat.
Among the dissentients from The plat
form, may be included Congressman
Cox and Fernando Wood. The former
is credited with saying that the reso-
luton in question will compel the
Democracy to do their work over again
to convince the people that repadiation
is not in any sense part of their doc
trine, present or future. These express.
sions are worth recording, as showing
the Drift of political thought OH vital
question in this part OF the country.
