Minority Stockholders Of the
N, &. & st. L. Seeking
Redress.
From tao NashvIlIe Anorican.

FROM llo NaSUFlEle a AipeElrEQ.
Rumors prevailed in railroad circles
yesterday to the effect tha: the minor
ity stockholders in the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Ky at New
York had prepared a bill to be fled in
the United States circuit Court here,
asking that the road be taken from un-
der the control of the management of
the Louisville ~ Nashville railroad
and placed in the hands of receiver
One of the main allegations of the bill
is that the Louisville IL Nashville
R'y has been taking away from the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
Ry, business that properly belongs 10 it
thus depriving it of revenue to which
it is justly entitled. 1t is said that
the allegation above made, and the
further statement thai under 4 sepa>
rate management it would he enabled
to make more money than it is now
doing is what has so rapidly advance
ed the stock of the road. 1t is ru-
mored that heavy purchases Of the
stock have been made, from which
large profits have been realized.
Much surprisehas been expressed here
for the past few days at the steady ap-
probation of the stock, and only few,
who were in the secret, were aware Of
what had occasioned it. If the pro-
programme contemplated should he
carried out successfully, it wiIl pro-
duce almost as big sensation as the
celebrated "scoop" of the Nashville,
Chattanooga d St. Louis railway by
thesLouisviile d Nashville manages
ment.
Since writing the above it has been
ascertained that Col. A. S. Colyar left
for New York a few days ago, to bring
the proposed suit in New York. but it
is probable that it will I've brought at
Nashville, iDasmuch the headquarters
of the road are located here. 1t is al~
so said that among the allegations Of
the bill is one to the effect that the
Louisville IL Nashville railway hrs no
right, under its charief, to control the
Nashville, Chattanooga Il St. Louis
railway. This however, it is thought,
will fall to the ground. for the reason
that the organization Of the two com
panies are separate and distinct. and
that the Nashville, Chattanooga u
st. Louis railway in It's relations with
the Louisville Il Nashville railway
stands upon the same footing as any
other road.
The stock of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis railway ruled at
591 on the 18th inst, and closed. yes
terday, at 754, a rise Of 164 cents Ill
three days.

How Kelly and Mclaughlin
Were Bought.

The Washington Star prints the
following: "a prominent Democrat
who, at the instance of the National
Democratic Committee, devoted his
time and service 10 the state Of New
Jersey during the recent canvass, said
to-llay: 'Tbe Republicans would have
carried New Jersey for Garfield but
for bargain made with John Kelly,
Of New York city, and Boss MeLaugh-
lin, Of Brooklyn, OH the Wednesday
before the election. Dorsey had been
sent to New Jersey with full powers
and all the money necessary to carry
the state, hut on the Wednesday prior
to the election Chester A. Arthur
concluded bargain with John Kelly
and McLaughIin, by which the state
of New York was made certain for
Garfield. John Kelly got 81, 900, 900
~ cash, and Mclaughlin got $500, 900.
Kelly used every dollar OF his 81, ,000,-
600 to elect Grace Mayor, thinking
that was more important to him than
to elect Haucock. When Arthur felt
sure of New York be did not care
much for New Jersey. Dorsey was
recalled to New York, and the money
it was intended to give him was used
in paying John Kelly and MeLaugh-
: lin. Had the Republicans stuck to

Kind words from a Radical.

Philadelphia American: "The peo>
pie of the southern states have taken
their defeat with a great deal of good
humor. They behave far better un>
der their disappointment than did
their northern allies. There are ma
ny reasons for this. The first is their
larger experience in such matters.
They know an Appomattox when they
see enc. Another is that they have
local success t9.pffSet national defeat.
They kept their half of the bargain.
General Hancock was not beaten
south of the line. Yet another is
that they are a more intelligent class
than the Democrats of the north, with
more statcsmanike instincts, and,
therefore, greater capacity for accept
ing the situation. But the chief rea>
son is the character of the people.
they have a natural urbanity which
fUrbids the prolongation Of a struggle
beyond usefulness. If beaten, they
do not scold. They can afford defeat
but not i'll manners. That there are
distinctive good points in the southern
character, Is felt by all who have had
much intercourse with them. Their
civilization may be said to be of low
er type than ours. They have no IDEA
of equal rights, free speech, honorable
labor and universal intelligence which
characterize the north. But it is our
misfortune that We have lost as well
as gained in our advance to these. At
the very least there has been a tenn
porary loss. The exclusive CONNER,
cial character of our pursuits has in
fected US with a selfshness, an eager
ness, a crudeness of manner, which
are not seen to anything like the same
degree in the south. 1t it were posi-
hle to lit the south into all that is
hest in northern civilization without
their losing what they have of good
in themselves, the result would be
one of finest syntheses in character"

debarring the Southern Express Com

LOUISVILLE Courier Journal: Lower

the southern raads. At present the
charges for passengers are as high as
at any time dnring the war This is
a matter which concerns every man,

interest in it.

Nashville American: One hundred

large increase in rolling stock, there

for more cars to move products.

Courier Journal: A report is cur
rent that Senator David Davis has
tired of Senatorial honors and wishes
TO remount the bench. Ifsuch an ar
rangement could be carried out, it
would give the Republicans control of
the Senate, as Davis uniformly votes
with the Democrats, and his successor
would be a republican. 1t looks COW
as if Gen. Garfield would have four
SEpreme Court vacancies at his dis,
posal during his term of Office.

said that their candidate for the sem

nard. ap
When asked as to the prospects of
his election, he said:
1--WE, of course, have no assurance
Of his election, and the prospect is
against us, with majority.ou joint
ballet in favor Of the Democrats. If
the certificate in the case of Stewart
