Meeting Last BIghf-Tramsaetf0n Of
Private Business.
The general council met last night and
transacted routine business. The sheriff
served writs Of msndamus in the sum Of
Sl2, 900, und the United Stated marshal
one in favor Of 7. e Brown for $lSO, 600
Resolutions we're passed directing the
city attorney to inquire into the lease Of
the Louisville railroad depot grounds.
The bends of Comptroller Newsom for
500, 900, Treasurer j. C. Nicely for $780,
900, Tax Collector Fred c. Scbaper for
$24, 600, DR.. G. B Thornton, hospital
physician, for $4,000, and Edward Keat-
ing, keeper Of public squares, for $1,000,
we're approved. The board Of aldermen
rejected the fremens' petition for a re
turn Of loss by reduction of salary, there
by adopting the recommendation OF the
mayor and city attorney.
On the ordinance to make q stone
paving scrip receivable for tax on man.
dsmuses, the city attorney reported as
follows.
/ know Of no authority upon which
this resolution can be sustained. By the
last order Of the Federal Circuit Court
(which order has been affirmed in the
Supreme Court of the United S,ates) the
city was ordered, in levying the tax to
pay Brown for the balance due him for
laying the Nicolson pavement, to ex-
empt the property in the city 90 which
assessments have been made by the
front foot for the payment Of the costs of
laying the Nicolson pavement, and
which assessments have been paid by
the owners of such property" The
basis Of the exemption was that the prop
erty which had once, under the form Of
front.foot assessments. paid its share OF
the Brown debt, should not be required
to pay again.
The holders Of the sto~ne-psviug scrip
have not paid any part of the debt TO
Brown; their payments were made on
account Of work done by Lo0don. OF
course it is a hardship thst the property
that has once paid for the stone pave
ment should now be compelled to pay
for the Nicolson pavement. But / do
not see that it is any greater hardship
than to require property to pay that is
entirely off Of any pavement. To the
amount that the stone paving receipts
may be received for Brown tax, the de-
felt to Brown will be increased. and
must be made up in future cash levies.
| do not see any more reason for receiv-
ing the stone.paving certificates than
any other city Indebtedness in favor of
the Brown tax. s. P. WALKER,
May 3, 1878. City Attorney.
To take up s%tone-paving certificates in
payment OF the Nicolson pavement tax
would be a clear violation Of the order
Of the United States Court, and subject
the city authorities to contempt proceed,
ings. / think this is clear. / have read
the foregoing from the city attorney, and
concur fully 10 the views therein ex.
pressed. ]. R. FLIPPIY, Mayor.
Adjourned to the next regular meet

The Long Livers.

In all countries and all attitudes, the
well-to-do live longer than the poor by
an average of eleven years; this shows
the deleterious influence of an anxious
mind on the bodily health, the anxiety
for to-morrow's bread. Pensioned per.
sons live indefinitely long; poor.houses
in Great Britain can any day turn out q
largo army Of men and women anOng
the eighties and ninetics, who have been
in those Institutions for twenty or thirty
years, owing in great part to the habit.
ual feeling of confidence that ample
provision is made for the future, and
the mind is at rest; but it must not be
forgotten that the cleanliness, the plain
food, and the regular habits, compulsory
in those institutions, contribute greatly
to the eud.

Anxious "a Meet the ChtckRsaw

ChRdMe1l SAYS.

Anxious "a Meet the ChIckRsaw
G0arda Mex Eall-WhAt Efeut
ChadweIl says.
II seems that the Porter Rifles, Of
Nashville, are anxious to engage the
C~hickasaw Guards in a competitive drill,
and are determined to do so should the
champions visit either st. Louis or At
lanta next fall. A few days ago Lieut..
CALDWELL informed a representative of
the LEDGER that the Porter Rifles would
look out for the Chickasaws and 60 where
the latter go next fall. Lieutenant Chad
we'll says that the Chickasaws have been
invited, or else will be invited, either
TO the State Fair at Atlanta or
St. Louis next fall, most likely to
both places. The Porter Rifles will hold
themselves in readiness, and will go
where the Chicks 90 in order to meet
them in a fair and undeniable contest.
You can make this statement as official
from me, for | am AUTHORIZED to speak
in the matter, so that tho Chiekasaws
will have either to decline the Invitations
or else meet the Rifles in a fair drill"
said Lieutenant Caldwell to the LEDGER
man, who intimated that the Memphis
company could not be frightened in any
such manner, bat would probably be on
hand. Lieutenant Caldwell says that
he prefers Atlanta, and hopes the Chicks
will 60 there, as twenty eight men will be
allowed to drill. Among the companies
to engage III the prize drill at Atlanta is
the Wade Hampton Guards. Of South
Carolina. We have not heard anything
from the ChickassWs, but presume
they will consider the matter in
due time, and feel assured that the
presence of the Rites will not prove q
scsrecrow. In the meantime the Chick.
asaw Guards will drill with the Bluff
City Grsys, aud should the contest be
close, much interest may result here
after. The correspondence between Cap.
tain Cameron Of the Grays and the three
privstes Of the Guards has attracted
some attention in Nashville, and afforded
no little amusement, for the kindly
spirit of the communication were rightly
interpreted,

The little birds their sweetest notes are

TIE RADICAL PROGRAMME.


Colonel J. NJ. Heating writes from
Washington to the Appeal that the state
ment is current there, and is generally
accepted as correct, that the tenth con-
gressional district Of Tennessee will be
carried by the Republicans, assisted by
the Independents. 1t is said that the
friends Of the administration are making,
and will make, unusual exertions not
only to defeat Casey Young, or who
ever else may be the Democratic
candidate, but that other districts in
Tennessee will be contested, in
order to prove that the presence Of Mr..
Key in the cabinet has brought the ad.
ministration some strength in our State.
This is no doubt the Republican scheme
and hope. Tie outside efforts made to
divide the Democratic and Conservative
party OF Shelby county, beginning with
the municipal contest of last fall, we're
directed for the ultimate purpose oil
turning over this county and this CON
gressional district to the Republican
party. If the plan fails it will not be
because it was not well laid and started
into operation. A desperate effort will
be made in all closely contested districts
to carry them for the Republican party
openly, in some instances under an
alias as a thin disguise in others. The
general understanding is that the Demo-
cratic majority in congress must be re-
duced or extinguished, if possible, so that
by the time a Democratic senate com 90
in there may be a Republican house,
or a house so evenly divided that it will
practically amount to the same. The
people should look this issue squarely in
the face, and not be drawn off on side
Issues or by ephemeral movements. One
more steady pull, all together, will give
the country a Democratic administra
ton, under which we may reasonably
expect to enter upon a long and pros
porous era, in which public servants will
be measured by the old Jeffersoaiau
standard, aud virtue in high places will
be the rule and not the exception. Cor
ruption will be discountsnanced anC
honesty prevail; the laws will be en-
forced for all alike, and the heart Of the
patriot will have cause to rejoice.
