The New York Star says:

feet quiet to enable him TO prepare a
plan for extricating his uncle from the
mass of cryptOgrams under which he
at present lies buried. He found it in
some sequestered nook beyond the ST.

ished by silence and isolation, is be-
lieved to have triumphed over every
obstacle. Back again in New York, but

thetic few, he but awaits the recuper-
alton OF his severely tasked intellect

followed the English plan too much /;
the Reagan tunnel is instanced as
one of his mistakes. Mr.. Ferguson
is in favor of leasing the road and
not of the Trustees running it. The
sum necessary to be raised by par
ties leasing it after the Houston
contract is completed, would be one
and a quarter million of dollars, and
to think there would rot be the
slightest difficulty in raising that
amount of money in Cincinnati. As
to the proposition from Mr.. R. T.
Wilson, President of the E. T., Va.
and Ga. r. r., he says: st was
neither proper nor feasible. The
Trustees had no power to maze the
change, and, if they had, ought not
to have done it." He also believes
that the road should be completed
fully into the city of Chatta-
nooga. Mr.. Trustee Bugher also
thinks that the forfeiture clause of
the Huston contract commences

THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN
ROAD.

On yesterday the question of the
validity of the two million issue Of
bonds went before the Supreme
Court of Ohio. 1t will probably be
ten days before their decision will
be known, and if favorable, Huston
& Co. must push the work with all
vigor, as it is a doubtful matter
whether the wording of the contract
allows them a longer time than
August Goth, 1879, to complete the
work without forfeiture. A modif-
cation Of the contract was made by
resolution of the Trustees that the
forfeiture of $1,000 a day would
commence from the day that the
two million issue of bonds should
be sold at par; but in the late ex-
animation of Mr.. Ferguson, before
the committee to investigate the
affairs of the Trustees, he says that
in his opinion the date of forfeiture
commences August Goth, 1879.
This investigation, which has been
in progress for some days,
has developed many facts
of interest in connection with the
construction of the road and we
condense some parts of Mr.. Fergu>
sons testimony. 1t is well known
that he has been the great money
spirit of the road, has given more
time to it than any other Trustee,
and is one of the first lawyers in
the West. Mr.. Ferguson is one of
the original Trustees and drew up
the ten million bill. Mr.. Ferguson
said that he became a convert to a
Cincinnati connection with the
South in 1886, when the Cincinnati,
Louisville and Charleston Road
was chartered. He thinks ga
Southern railroad has been the
chronic want of Cincinnati" He
goes over the long and hard-fought
battle to obtain a charter from the
Kentucky Legislature. AS to the
purchase of the Kentucky Central
he says that had the legal contest |
about that road been decided in
favor of the Baxter estate it would |
no doubt have been bought, but
the question of ownership
was not decided at all when it be-
came necessary for the parties to
decide what they would do, about
the same was the case as to the
bridge, though he, himself, always
favored an independent bridge which |
would be free, and now Cincinnati |
has it, which gives her road an adj
vantage equal to Is or 100 miles |
shorter road. He never thought |
that S10,000,000 would complete
the road, yet owing to the fall in
every character of supplies the
work has been done cheaper than he
Had not the panic of
1873 occurred no more money
would have been needed from Gin
as the road could have
been leased to be completed. That
panic staguated all railroad build
ing and the sale of bonds, but these
being municipal bonds they held up |
in value. The appointment of Mr..
LoYett was made first through sug>
gestion of Mr.. Hooper. 1t became
evident to the Trustees that he was
not the man for the place. So far
as could be ascertained by the
Trustees Mr.. Lovett did
not have any interest
in any contract in the
road. Mr.. Ferguson says "the
English engineer tries to drive and

1y enterprise, accurateness, and

Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily In

LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We shall make unceasing war
against all men who espouse the
cause of reputation in Tennessee.
Against those who are willing to de-

willing to hishonor and disgrace the
Commonwealth, we shall cry aloud

SILAS WILSON.

think that Mr.. Wilson at least shows
very bad taste in this step. Mr. Will
son. we could a tale unfold concerning
you past record, civil AID war, but
we refrain; it is enough for our read
ers to see the spirit with which you
have acted in the Gregg case. You,
sir, charged the same for deeds that
Mr. Gregg does when you Was re-
corder; and, what is more, there are
deeds now on file in that office which
"ou charged twenty-five cents for
certifying 10 that have never been GER
tilted even to this day. YOu, sir, are
the last man in the world to push his
nose into this stink, and il you are
not careful you will get very sick be-
fore you get through. You thought
as the Union had no responsible edl-
tor, you had = good chance 10 vent
