complete restoration Of confidence, the
most rigid economy, tbs enactment OF
salutary laws fair alike to the holders OF
our securities, and the people who con-
stitute our government The southern
States are nearer rssdE for specie pay

and tobacco will bring gold. 1t is only

south as 70 preparation for specie psy-

issue. The real one is whether nation

istence or not. That Is question worthy
OF the serious consideration of states.
| men and flnaucieTs, Tennessee has no
| cause to be d:5satis1ed with her delega-
ton here, and especially should Mem
| phis be content. Her customho will
be commenced within few days. It
will be grand and magnificent, an orna-
nlent TO the State and city, and our citi-
zens who visit WashingtOn will all bear
testimony that the appropriation for its
erection was secured alone through Col
Onel Y0uag's splendid ability and at
tainments. 1t lathe Only hill of that
kind which has passed congress this
session. All others either sleep in
committee rooms, or have been de-
tested. In the suudry civil appropris-
tiOn bill the sum OF three hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars was ap-
propristed for the coast survey. Mr..
Young had an amendment inserted,
providing for including in this appro-
pristion a survey of the Mississippi
river from Cairo to New Orleans, to-
gether with its different outlets to the
gulf, with q view Of determining the
proper method OF feclSiming the allu-
vial lands from overflow. General
Humphrey estimates that the sum Of
one hundred and sixty thoUs and dollars
will be necessary for this survey for the
present fiscal year. Besides, Young has
about twenty thousand dollars in the
river and harbor bill for the leves front.
1t will not do to pass from these inter-
esting pubic work. without informing
your readers that they will be under the
contTol Of architects and engineers sent
out from Washington. No Memphisn
need apply for their supefvisIon,
although several Slready have. Toe
work will not he put under contract. bat
Will be performed under the direction OF
government. officers, and laborers hired
from among Ottr citizens. Visions

Teunessee river fMussel shoaI1l has
three hundred Thousand dollars, and
Hiswassee river ten thousand dollars, in
the river and harbor bill. So you see
we srs doing very well in cur State,
Colonel Ca!d veil las made considerable
reputation in congress, He caught the
Radicals by thA Introduction OF resolu-
ton, which was q paragraph from JOHN
Sherman's speech, on the deadlock a
few days since, Time will make CaId-
veil 2 erlendiH representative. General
AtEiDs, who also Represents a district in
west Tennessee, yCuT correspondent had |
the pleasure OF meeting for the first time |
In many years. He had remembered |
him Jr0pl bis h0Sh00G, aud was greeted !
Therefore ~g an old eequaintancs. Gen. |
eral Atkins represents the Paris district, |
but the whole State, the whole country, |
have an interest in him. He has charge |
OF the Texas Pacific railroad bill, an en- |
terpTiae which is favored by our people |
without reference TO party. It's passage
is assured II GenErsi Atkins continues
in charge of it, and With its passage hard
times will pass fcom Memphis. Your
readers understand that four hundred
miles ers already completed and being
operated. Without terminal points, it
now pays expenses. It owns valuable
franchise, large quantities OF roll
ing'stooB, and neatly twenty mill
ion acres OF splendid land.
These assets ere to be the
governments security fer guaran-
teeing the payment Of Interest upon
thirty.fve thousand dollars of bonds for
every mile of the road. Memphis will
have branch, and in a short time
bridge over the river. The only difficult
5y about this great enterprise is that it is
Oeset with haTpies. It must run SO that
they can make something, or else their
influence is against il. These harpies
combined can defeat any measure. But
let's hope that they will be propitiated,
and that at no distant day Memphis will
have an outlet TO the west. How much
better our northern brothers look after
legislation and for the material interests
Of their section than we do. They send
men Of ability to represent them, and
when found useful they continue them
az their representatives. BY this course
hey have substantial fruits OF legisla.
ion, while we get empty ones. It is to
he interest OF all alike in Tennessee,
hat her great men should be and con-
.inue here. One stesman is worth one
hundred place hunters. Holman, of To-
llama, saves millions of dollals annually
1y watching snd exposing every job,
md all the HoOsiers feel that his place
'annot be supplied. GOTH.
