Dead Sea Apples for the LOuis-
willie Railroad.

The Nashville Banner is disposed
to take the glorifcation of the Courier
Journal over the railroad scoop very
seriously. In the issue of the 22d
appears the following editorial;
1t strikes us that the gentlemen
who have bought the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad have gone for
the dollar in sight. Are they aware
Of the fact that the legislatures of this
State have only been deferred from
legislating good deal on the subject
Of railroads for some years past, and
that it was only by the incest manage
ment on the part of the directors and
stockholders whose residence here
gave them a local influence? We
think it hardly possible to restrain
them from legislating to the utmost
extent permitted by law should
the slightest suspicion of unfairness
be aroused. We all know what trouble
the railroads, in some of the Northern
States, have met with by aggressive
legislation, and we all know. none
better than Colonel Cole, the trouble
they had to keep under the Changers,
who were anxious enough to put it out
Of the power Of all railroads run
ming through the State to discriminate
against the farmers. Should the
threats Of the Louisville Courier.
journal in regard to Nashville be at
tempted, or should the least effort be
made to favor Louisville merchants to
our prejudice, the railroads owned and
run by men living out of the State
would lose the influence of Nashville
merchants, and it has been mainly
through their efforts that obstructive
laws have not already been passed
The people feel that they have been
greatly wronged, and they will not
bear any kind of toolishness now.
The new management was met in a
kindly spirit, and every one, after the
first burst Of Indignation was over,
was disposed to throw the blame upon
those who sold them out. But when
their organs talk about Tennessee
paying tribute to Louisville, they be-
gin to look around where they can
help themselves, The means are
close at hand. The people have been
anxious to get hold of some of the
railroads for some time, and now they
are very willing to take care of them
selves. The goose has been laying
golden eggs for some time, and will
continue to do so if allowed, but the
owner had better not kill her, for in
stead of golden eggs they would only
find apples of the Dead Sea.

Bright's Measure for the Relief
of Ireland.
He Proposes TO Sell Land 70 Ten.
ants on 35 Years Time.

LONDON, January 26.-A dispatch
from Rome says DR.. Gerard Smally, a
physician belonging to the Anglo
American colony in Rome, was recent
ly assailed in his own house by two
men, who robbed and left him PIN
ioned and half strangled. The doctor
is now out of danger. The assailants
have been arrested.
Prof. Bright in his speech at Bir-
mingham, Saturday, suggested that
parliament appoint a commission to
go to Dublin with the power to sell
the farms of landlords to tenants who
are willing to buy them and advance
three-fourths Of the purchase money
therefor, the principal and interest to
be repaid in 35 years. Such measure.
Bright said, he believed would meet
the wants and satisfy the desires
of the Irish people. A commission
is to assist the tenants to purchase
wherever a landlord was willing to sell.
Bright recommends compulsory sales
only where the land is owned by Lon
don companies or guilds, as is the case
with large tracts near Londonderry.
He expressed his conviction however,
that if his plan was adopted self-in-
terest Or public opinion would soon
compel individual landlords to sell to
their tenants.
A dispatch from Cabul says casual
tiles from battles and sickness have
greatly weakened the actual strength
of regiments at the front. Native
regiments holding the line of commu
nication are also much used up.
Dispatch from Gandamak says all is
quiet in Cabul, but there arc rumors
In camp, which are generally believed
to point to the fact that preparations
are being made by the Afghans for
another demonstration early in March
against our forces at Shirpur. Itis
said General Bright's division will be
moved to come before that time.
