UNJUST REFLECTIONS.

4 letter in the cambridge Watch-
man from Nashville, over the sigma
ture IS, " contains reflections on a
majority Of the Republican members
Of the Tennessee Legislature, IN
warranted, as we think, by the facts.
With the exception of four members
Of the House, every Republican in
the Legislature voted for the fifty
cents-four-per-cent. proposition to
the bondholders. This was done
after they had put themselves upon
record as favoring the proposition to
acscpt the compromise offered by
the bondholders-sixty cents on the
dollar. Seeing that it was impossi-
bic to pass an act by that body,
based on the bondholders' PROPOSE
ton, and after securing an amend
ment to the ffty-cents-four>perocent.
bill rendering it imperative until it
was accepted by the bOndhOlders,
they voted for it as the very best
thing that could be had from that
body. No one, who knows any,
thing at all of the facts, believes
for one moment that q better bill
could have been passed by this Gen
eral Assembly. The House Repub.
licans who voted for the bill spread
upon the Journal an explanation Of
their vote, which appeared in the
CHRONICLE several days ago, IL
which they distinctly ayOw thai
they were in favor of accepting the
sixty cents proposition, and that il
no event would they have voted fol
the bill which did finally pass, bu
for the section which provides tha
it shall first be submitted to anC
accepted by the bondholder'
before becoming operative o.
binding. With this explanation
and in view of all the fact
and circumstances, we can not sc,
that they, in any sense, departed
from their steadfastness as Stat
credit men. IL the bondholder
accept the proposition, thinking tina
it is to their interest to do so, hu
initiating as it may be to the Stat
credit men, they have a right to d
it. If they think it is not to thei
interest, there IS no compulsion 70
them to accept it, and the passag
of this act does not in any way a
feet their status in the courts.
We have no word of censur
against the four Republicans VIII
voted against the bill. We believ
they were honest and conscientiOu
in the course they adopted. W
do not believe any one man, howeve
wise he may be in his own estima
ton, has a right to arrogate to him
self all that is pure an
good and statesmanlike, an

Savannah About to lnaugurate a Grand
Enterprise.
Savannah News.l

Savannah NeWs.l
The rapid and gratifying increase in
the general business of Savannah dur
ing the year that is drawing to a
close has been several times noted in
these columns, and the prediction
yeutured that our city is entering
upon a career that will place her in
the front rank Of the great CONNER
eial cities of the country, has practical
basis and foundation. Specially noted
has been the increase in the business
of the Central railroad, which has
been simply enormous in its through
trade, taxing the fine steamers of the
Ocean Steamship Company to their
fullest extent, requiring frequently
the employment OF extra freighting
ships, and demonstrating thoroughly
the necessity of a irst-class line of
steamships to New York. The opera
tons of this season have justi-
fed the consideration of meas
ures for an enlargement of facil-
tiles the coming business years, and
we understand that the enterprising
and sagacious management Of the
Ocean Steamship company are now
making arrangements for the building
of another iron steamship, which is to
be larger in every way than the pres
ent fine ships Of the line, and will
have a capacity of six thousand bales
Of cotton. The new vessel will be
furnished with the most powerful
engines that have ever been placed in
an American builtvessel, quick trans
portation being a great desideratum
in these progressive times, and it is
expected that she will be able to
make the run from Savannah to New
York in ordinary weather within
fory-fve hours. The construction of
this vessel will be the opening of a
new era in the commercial history of
Savannah, as there is good reason to
believe that she may be the pioneer of
the line between this port and Liver
pool, and the Inauguration ofthe great
southern route, which is destined to
do the carrying between the great
Northwest and Europe, free the de-
tention incident to routes further
north.

was setting at the winter solstice and
affecting the ascending planet, Venus,
by opposition aspect. ireland will
be disquieted, deeds of violence will
be perpetrated in the Emerald Isle,
and epidemic diseases will be fatally
prevalent therein. Saturn is still
slowly passing through the sign Aries,
hence old England's troubles will be
thickening, her death rate high and
her enemies numerous. Denmark and
Germany will be far from prosperous,
and the state of Russia will be lament.
able. Poland will be disturbed.
Persia, Asia Minor, Cyprus and the
Archipelago will be scenes of martial
deeds and martial epidemics. The
11th of the month brings Mars into an
evil confgUration with the place of
the sun at the birth OF an English
prince, warning him to beware Of ac-
cidepts and over-exertion."
In February, "at the moment of the
new moon on the 10th inst, the lum
inaries will be in a square aspect with
Mars. This is evil for the ruling
powers and forebodes a determined
onslaught on the Government never
theless, as Jupiter will be strongly
posted in the eleventh hour, tie Gov.
eminent will weather the storm"
In March, "the Divorce Court will
be busily occupied, and many cases of
cruelty to women will be brought be-
fore the Police Courts, for Venus op-
poses Uranus on the Oath inst"
In April, the presence of old Sat
urn in Aries will involve this country
in some trouble, but he is shorn of
most of his power to do mischief, now
that Jupiter hastens to oyertake
him."
In May, "excitemept will be at fever
heat in New York, and the marshal
ing OF troops will move the martial
instinct of the American people"
while in London "a metropolitan thea
ter is threatened with destruction. for
Mars transits the place Of the moon at
yernal ingress.'
But in October the outlook is es-
pecially for US. Holders of foreign
bonds must look out for squalls, for at
the moment Of full moon Mars will be
with the sun in the second honse, and
Saturn with the moon in the eighth.

a third shave without a word. His

A TALE OF R STATES.
Married Often but not WiseIy---A DAN
gerOus Music Teacher.

Louisville Evening Post and News, Dec: %.
Particulars of the arrest of John
Meyers upon the charge Of bigamy
were given in yesterdays paper, so
far as they were known at that time.
This morning the sheriff o fGrayson
county arrived here to take Meyers
back to Litchfeld, the scene of his
last marriage, for trial. Judging
from the story told Meyers is a most
consummate scoundrel, having at the
present three and probably four wives.
Only six months before he married
the lady in Trenton, Tenn, he was
married in Mississippi, leaving this.
wife after living with her only two
months. With the wife in Tennessee
he lived about ten months, and before
leaving the place beat her unmerci-
fully while she was in a delicate con-
dition. Ifhe could have been caught
at the time, Judge Lynch would
undoubtedly have presided over his
case. He is, as was stated yesterday.
a music teacher, dresses we'll and con
verses fuently and has generally made
his matches while teaching music in
well-to-do families. His chances for
a visit to Frankfort are exceedingly
good.
