RON. JOHN N. LEA.
A Candid and Interesting Letter
from this Large Taxpayer.


NASHVILLE, TENS., January o, 1878.
To the Editor of the Ledger:
10 your paper Of the 2lst inst. there is
the following statement: 1T is rumered
that the Hon. John NJ. Lea, Of Nash
vile, sent here $500 to be used for the
election Of Mr.. Flippin, and the money
was expended in the Tenth ward"
The statements entirely without foun-
dation. 1 sent no $500 nor any other
sun TO Memphis, nor did / directly or
indirectly give or promise to give $500
or any other sun to be used in carrying
the election for Judge Flippin. On the
contrary, 10 reply to a letter on the sub
ject, I distinctly, positively and unequiv-
ocally refused to make any subscription.
The reason for my refusal it is not nec-
essary to give, But ] may say that while
certain expenses, such as the renting Of
halls for public speaking and things Of
like nature should be borne by the friends
OF the candidates, subscriptions of money
for general electioneering purposes is
liable to many aud great abuses; and l
do not recol!ect that l ever did, and [
am very sure that | never shall, coAtrib-
! ute to any such fund
In order TO make the explanation as
full as possible / will state that a few
days ago and since the election, without
solicitation from any one, and in fulfill
ment of no promise, expressed or i'm.

not cause it, but you have done what you
could to bring relief in its great distress.
Common sense does not expect impossi-
bilities. Nor could it be hoped that the
errors and misfortunes of many years
could be expungsd and overcome during

of having for the first time inaugurated
measures for relief, which, if persevered

MISS LOUISE PoMERoY There was a
good sized audience at the Memphis
Thsater last night to witness Miss Louise
Pomeroy as Lady Gay S%panker in
London Assurance, a charming comedy
of modern day adaptation. In this role
Miss Pomeroy did not %disappoint the ex-
pectstions or in any manner detract
from the good opinion which she has
won from our people. Last night she
sustained her role with marked excel
lence, giving it animation, expression and
power. The support was decidedly good,
Miss Story being especially attractive as
"Grace Harkaway," evidencing a taste
as we'll as precision in her efforts.
The rest Of the company did well, and,
on the whole, the piece was satisfactory.
It is hard for some to believe a play good
or a company deserving unless they be
similar in style, manner and actions to
what have been their standard. Tonight
Twelfth Night will be presented. There
will be a crowded house.

Governor Porter was asked BY a Ban

sion of his views relative to the action

a great mistake in declaring that the ffty

a majority Of the bondholders for this
reason: The public sentiment could not
be induced to 90 backward in this mat
ter. They could not raise the figures on
the proposition which recently failed be-
fore the Legislature. Public sentiment
had settled upon q settlement Of City

thought, 60 beyond that. 1t was very
easy to lower a proposition of this kind.
