THE balloting for United States Sena-
tor from Tennessee will begin next Tues
day. Our adviees from the capitol ass
sure US that the most prominent candi~
dates for the position are johnson, Steph-
ems, and Brown, while Ewing and Savage
have each a respectable following.
Much excitement of course prevails
among the friends of the aspirants who
have gathered at the capitol, and we are
fearful that too much bitter feeling will
be manifested before the contest is
closed.
The honest masses of the democracy,
aside from the wishes OF small fry "
politicians and chronic Office seekers, de-
sire no feuds created in the Senatorial
contest which will prove detrimental to
the progress of those measures of reform
in this State, which the tax payers have
set their hearts upon, and which we be-
lieve the administration of Gov Porter
win do much towards enhancing within
the next two years.

Leas Internal Improvement Bill

a bill has been introduced into the
legislature preventing the people of
towns and counties from subscribing to
railroads or making any other improve
ments. 1t was introduced by John NJ
Lea, a member from Davidson county
This may do very well fer Nashville and
Davidson county, they may have all the
improvements they desire, but why
should they wish to prevent other parts
of the State from making improVem ents.
Because Nashville, and Davidson county
have railroads enough are Lawrence,
Wayne, Hickman, Hardeman, Henderson,
Perry and other counties that have none
to be perpetually deprived of the same
advantages now enjoyed by the citizens
Of Davidson and the more favored
counties? Are not the people of those
counties capable of determining wheth.
er they are willing to take stock in these
enterprises without asking the represent
atives Of Davidson to determine for them?
The constitution now requires a three
fourths vote before the towns or counties
can subscribe. Is not this restriction
enough or will the legislature undertake
to say that three fourths of the peo-
pie are not CAPABLE of determining this
matter for themselves and they must be
put under guardianship We think the
people are much better judges of matters
in which their own interests are con-
| eerned than is any member of the legis'
lature to determine for them. This bill
involves the right of the people to detern
mine in regard to the interests of their
own towns and counties. If Mr.. LEAFS
constituents wish such a bill to be pass
ed in reference to themselves we have
no objection, if it be constitutional, but
after Nashville has gotten all she wants
we do not wish her Representatives to
place it in the power of the mammoth
| corporations which now exist to prevent
the building of any other competing
roads. which would be the effect of this
hill whether so intended or not
MIR. Lea, we are informed, is a very
worthy man, and of excellent sense and
we are satisfied will make fine Legis,
lator, but in this matter he is in error
Davidson and Shelby counties have
carried subscriptions by counties and
towns too far, we suppose, but that is nc
reason why other counties should no
have the privilege of making improve
ments and developing some of the min
eral wealth within their own borders.
We think the proper place for Mr.
Lea to look for relief is to the county
courts of Davidson and Shelby, where
this matter of town and county sub.
scriptions has perhaps been carried too
far.
