While Ne differ 10 politics with the
Knoxville Chronicle we are pleased to
note the csndor Of this enterprising jour.
nal in its remarks upon the Memphis
custom.house. The Chronicle Of the 22d
says:
The bill which has already passed the
senate providing that the Memphis
custom.house shall be bHilt of Tennessee
marble, will pass the house and become
"a law. The committee on public build.
ings has agreed to report the bill favor
ably. We commend the pluck exhibited
by Congressman Young, of Memphis, 10
this matter. The contract for the build.
ing had been let to an Illinois sandstone
company, and an inferior building would
have been the result. But Mr.. Young
made a strong protest, aud from present
appearances, will carry bis point. 1t
would bs almost an outrage TO go away
to Illinois for inferior building material
with which TO construct public buildings
in Tennessee, when we have such
excellent building material in great
abundance at home. The bill pro-
viding that this building should be con
struc.ed Of Tennessee marble was otigi-
nally introduced by Senator Harris.
Memphis is our greatest city, aud her
custom.house should be built Of Tennes-
see marble. If this cannot be done,
people outside Of the State will be slow
10 believe hat we have what we claim
aud what we cert .iDly do have, viz;
building stone equal to any on the con-
tinent.
The response of Secretary Sherman to
the mayor and presidents of the Mem
phis cotton exchange aud chamber Of
commerce, published in the LEDGER, in
dictate the enmity of this official to our
people. While the Chronicle is and has
always been a consistent Republican
journal, it discards all partisan preju.
dice, and rightly speaks in behalf Of in
terests and justice which are superior to
political fealty, and concern the people
irrespective of their attachment to any
party or devotion to any administration.
We are thankful to the Chronicle for its
just words in this matter, aud commend
its impsrtiality to the especial conside.
ration of such men as John Sherman,
who are unfortunately too numerous and
too potent in political prominence for
the good of respective communities and
the Halfhra Of the nation.
