whs are CIamoring for Suffrage.

E3itOJ s SGr:-Your structures uDOn nv CON-
muncatl0n 10 0the X 7)tblic IN. urging white men
to attend the primary meetings. are no doubt
well taken from your standpoint OF disbelief in
universal suffrage. You are quite correct In
stating that the "clamOr" for suffrage here
comes largely from the labortng masses. rather
than the taxpayers admit that the enemies
OF suffrage In the District, as elsewhere, are
generally men of wealth and holders OF real
estate. They often belong to the educated and
refined class, and imagine that II they attend
the primary meetings their presence and coun-
sells .'win nave about as much weight as they
would in Pandemonium." F" so they stay away
There are coed many Of these nice modest SEQ
pie all over the country, and they have warm
sympathiZCrS wherever democratic principles
are held in contempt. BY thus staying away
they escape all responsibility for the selection OF
bad men for Office, and for the general corrup-
tion or politics. They wash their hands of the
whole dirty business II this corruption and
bad government come to the worst, and our
free institutions are finally overthrown, and the
citizens OF every state reduced to the same con-
dition OF vasSaage as the people OF this District,
no doubt these gentlemen will be satisfied. so
far as they are concerned there Will be no
'clamOriDg' for suffrage.
Down with the elective system,
Long live The K1ng
j. II. CRossMAN.
Mr CroSsman misquotes and misconstrues
We have never said that the clamor for suffrage
comes from the laboring masses. Quite the
reverse IL never occurred to us TO designate
the gentlemen of elegant leisure,-the ex-office
roomS,-who lead the suffrage movement, as
labOring men. And their following certainly
does not contain any large proportion of
genuine laboring men. The bulk of them seem
to hate work as his Sulphurlc Majesty Is said to
holy water. They are content to loaf about
Washington subsisting on charity, or what they
can ''pick up" waiting for return OF the flush
times OF suffrage, which, of course, is an idle ex-
pectatiOn.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to take
part in primary meetings when there is any
thing at stake The citizen who can give his
vote for President, congressman. governor,
members OF legislature. &C., should exert him
self to have good men nominated and elected.
But what requirement is there upon the quiet
decent citizen here to risk his life at s'sturdy
manhood primary. to decide whether the can
didate Of Murder Bay, or the candidate of Hell's
Bottom, for scaveDger or chimney sweep shall
be selected! 1t Is quite true that our people,
generally, ''wash their hands of the whole
dirty business" The game is not worth the
candle so far as concerns the few petty District
Offices that could be filled by suffrage while
Congress maintains its constitutional jurisdlc-
ton over the District, and shoulders 50 large
proportion of District expenses.

no practical necessity for IL, this
year cleaned up, plOwed, planted
and cultivated both a cotton and
corn field, and with no advantage

of my crop is a third greater than

THE following dispatch was sent
by e. d. Standiford, President of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad,
to the Courier-Journal from New
York City on Saturday last:
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Louis
vile & Nashville railroad has Sc
cured control of the Nashville e.
Chattanooga railroad and all lines
owned, leased or operated by that
company, by a purchase of the ma
jority of ats capital stock.
The conservativepo policy heretofore
observed by our company in con-
nection with all other roads, and
the maintenance of fair and equita-
BILE tariffs, will be continued.
All sections reached by our sys-
TENS may rely upon equal and exact
justice, and the observance of the

which each and every locality is
justly entitled to receive by right of
its geographical location.

Nashville railroad talk.
Nashville American !


We do not know, as yet, what
course the President and Directors
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis Railroad intend to pursue.
We feel pretty sure, however, that
the present state of public opinion
would justify, on their part, all the
resistance in their power to any in
reference with the plans originally
proposed, and in the act of being
carried out, for pushing the line
| through from Nashville to Owens
boro and to the st. Louis and South
eastern connection. The President
and the present Directors of the road
need not surrender their control of
it until removed by the election of
their successors at the next Septem-
ber election. Within that time
President Cole may complete the
| OWensboro connection, as he conf
IDENTIFY predicted he would do in an
interview published in the Ameri-
can of the 9Th of November last.
Twelve thousand tons of steel rails
for the road were purchased last
November, and the contract for the
CumberIand-river bridge was given
out last Saturday. The work should
be prosecuted with Vigor and with
out delay, and simultaneously
should go forward the work of COM
pleting the Duck-river narrow
gauge from Petersburg to Fayette-
vile; the extension of the McMinn-
vile and Manchester; the road from
Huntingdon to Trenton, and, if pos
sible, the Lebanon extension to
Carthage. Meantime our people
will wait with intense anxiety the
development Of the policy to be
adopted by the foreign capitalists-
men not interested one dollars
worth in building up the prosperity
of Nashville or the State at large
who, with a few millions, have
| captured the entire railroad system
in Middle and have largely added
| to their possession in West TenneS-
see. We can hardly believe that so
vast a system will beoperated in the
sole interest of Louisville or any
other rival of Nashville, but should
such prove to be the case, we have
the consolation of knowing that an
appeal for protective legislation
would not be made in vain. The
time may soon be upon us when
this issue will have to be met
whether her people or foreign rail-
road Corporations shall rule in Ten
nessee.
There Is not an Interest in the
city of Nashville, from the humblest
worker in iron and leather, in the
shoe shops and blacksmith shops, up
to the most prosperous dealer in
silver and gold; from the banks and
brokers, offices, who would not give
cheerfully of his store, to the extent
of his means, for Nashville, Chat
tanooga and ST. Louis stock at par,
to have the road under the control
of a local management and its pro-
ljected extensions in progress, as
they were, before the transfer of the
controlling interest to any other
combination of outsiders on the con-
tinent. Every dollar of property in
Nashville might well have been
mortgaged to retain it rather than
relinquish its control, and we be-
lieve would have been had the
alternative been submitted.

IN the New York Evening Post
(Rep.) occurs an interesting de-
scriptive paper entitled "a Year at
Leadville." We extract from ii
the following consecutivese sentences:
On the 1st of January, 1879, the
population of Leadville consisted
largely of ruffians, bunko steerers,
road agents, thieves and prostitutes.
On the Ist OF January, 1880, Lead
vile may be relied upon for 1000
clear majority for the Republican
party.
Well, now, we think that's likely;
that is just the sort of a population
from which we should expect a
large Republican majority.

COrmed Beef.

The following is most excellent
receipt for corning beef. Follow
the instructions closely and you will
have most delicious meat:
''To corn 100 lbs. beef. Take 81
lbs. salt; cut the beef up in roasting
pieces; put in the tub a layer of salt
and a layer of beef until you have
it all packed down let it stand "a
to AZ hours. Then pour water over
the beef until it is entirely covered.
Rinse the salt off the beef, letting
all go in the brine; put the brine
on and boil, give it a good boiling.
Having previously dissolved / lb.
of soda, I Id. saltpeter, 8 lbs. sugar,
or one quart of molasses, stir the So
luton in the brine thoroughly.
Now pack the beef in the tub as
closely as possible, pour the brine
over and set away. Be sure you
weight the beef down and keep un-
der the brine. In two weeks it will
be ready for use. Then boil until
done, set by and let it get cold in
the liquor where it was cooked.

lent. Very much, as we have seen,
is brought by the eye which con-
templates, the mind which observes.
And what shall so purge the nature
of these NOTES and beams where
with no man can clearly see as a
faith in God and an humble wor-
ship of the divine King? This
gives tenderness and zeal, and the
artist must be tender and his nature
must be aflame with a pure ardOr.
Art is vain pursuit If there be no
honesty and singleness of purpose,
and he who knows God and serves
him can alone be simple, true and
Virtuous. Art must be free, and
the freeman is none other than he
whom the truth has made free.
Over such a soul low ends, imperfect
endeavors, the gross passions which
physical beauties unidealized easily
summon, will have no control. On
his canvasses nature herself will
pour her inspiration, in his sculpt-
ufe the divine life itself will breathe,
while the music that he sings will
be the echoes not faint and distant
but full and unbroken of the celes-
tial strains that forever reSOund
about the throne of God. / have
somewhere seen a story Of an artist
who painted a picture of the Last
Supper. He had bent all his powers
upon the central figure and espe-
cially npon the head of the Christ.
1t was his habit to mingle with the
crowd that surrounded his works in
the exhibition and listen to the re-
marks which fell from the lips Of
the observers. When his picture
was uncovered and the people |
CUSTOM he placed himself among
them and listened. Many things |
were said, but at least he heard one |
man exclaim in wonder and admi-
ration at the execution of the cup
which was held in the hand of our
Lord. 1T was indeed a marvellous
piece of painting, but the artist
went home disappointed, lament
ing his failure, ssfor, said he, 81
no one to see anything but
the face of the Christ" All! my
friends! is there no profound lesson
here for you--for us all? That is
The ideal of life and beauty. The
Did artists knew it and they painted
md adored. Let that be the su-
Dreme object of your devotion. AS
artists you will find nothing nobler
han the Christ. AS men, you will
ind nothing diviner than that di-
vine man. In him your art has its
loblest subject; in him your life
an find its only true end and glory.

THE Nashville American says
"The attitude of Messrs. Savage
and Wilson in the Bank of Tennes-
see litigation is likely to be some
what considered by the public as
we go along. Whether or not the
place of estate lawyer" as "Coun-
tryman" calls it, is an Office, and
thus falls within the meaning of the
constitutional prohibition, is one
question, and a purely legal one.
Whether a legislator ought to accept
a position, created by the body of
which he is member, is matter
for him to decide, when it is pre-
sented as a matter involving qnes-
tions of delicacy and of public pol
ley; and. when he has so decided
the matter, it is then matter for
the public to decide for itself
whether he has decided it rightly.
