Correspondence Courier-J Journal
NASHVILLE, July 16.-Never be.
fore, since the late unhappy war, has
the democratic outlook appeared SO
promising as now. Every patriotic
heart is animated with a newborn
hope, which augurs we'll for the sue
cess Of the presidential standard
bearers Of the grand old national and
notwithstanding democratic party
next November. There is not a
shadow Of doubt that the old vOlun
teer state will remain true to her in
terests and firm in her past political
faith, which will be manifested at the
polls by the largest majority for Han
cock aud English ever cast bv her fol
presidential nominees. Wherever
county meetings and congressional
conventions have been held, the dem
ocratiO hosts have not only been har-
monious, but enthusiastic in their
support of the national ticket. For a
while local questions threatened to
distract the councils OF the party, but
of late a better feeling has been ex
hibited by parties holding extreme
views upon such questions, and it is
now reasonably certain that such is
sues will not be permitted to endanger
the SUCCESS of the democratic ticket.
1t is altogether probable that the
state debt questlop-lhe great bone
of contention-will be eliminated
from both state and national politics,
and held in allegiance for the time be-
ing. This is the only way out Of the
trouble, and all are beginning to see
it. Very pronounced antagonistic
views are held by so-called high and
low tax democrats, and there appears
to be no possibility Of an early recon
ciliation or compromise. Many ofthe
railroad bonds are now in litigation
and other similar suits will doubtless
soon be instituted. Let the courts
decide the cases, which will put the
disputed questions upon legal grounds.
Public sentiment would, without
doubt, gradually gravitate to the de-
cision of the courts-a modification OF
views all around would be in order
and thus a happy solution of the yexed
question be arrived at. This is the
direction which public sentiment is
evidently taking, and many Of our
most thoughtful citizens are favorinG
the plan as the best and only apparent
means to avoid the political shoals
that beset the course of the demo-
cratic party Of the state. AJAX.

bonds has been the prime cause of our
enormous taxation, together with the
array Of ofice-holders, with large sal
aries, who lounge in the shade and
grow fat from the public crib, while
the people are toiling night and day to
keep the wheels Of the government
from going down under the immense
pressure whichis continually accumu-
lating by indiscreet and dishonest
legislation"
Now the fact is that the people are
not in an oppressed condition" Last
year they had good health. fine crops
and fine prices. The same condition
prevails this year. There is prosper
ity everywhere. There is no great
incubus preying upon MS" That is
all ridiculous nonsense. Taxes are
not excessive. The people are not
paying an immense interest annu-
ally on fraudulent bonds" That aSser-
ton is utterly without foundation.
There is no array Of office holders
with large salaries" A respectable
country physician can make more in
the practice Of his profession any year
than is paid to the average state of
fcer. Salaries in Arkansas are no
toriously low-so low that they barely
afford the e of a decent living.
1t is high time that such demagogism
as the above were fully exposed, Evil
and only evil can come Of such at
tempts to hoodwink the people.

NASHVILLE, July II, 1880.
EDITOR MEMPHIS LEDGER: Being
somewhat interested in the welfare
and prosperity Of Memphis, | drop a
few random suggestions to the people
of the Bluff City, the place of all
places most observed and talked about
just now. A person travelling around
can. hear all kinds of stories about
the city being overrun with yellow
fever. Within ten miles of the city
you are told that there are ten eases
Of genuine fever in the city; when
you get fifty miles away there are fifty
cases, and the farther away you get,
the larger the number of cases. /
guess if you we're to get 80, 1000 miles"
away, there would be $4,000 cases
there. How these reports get started
it is hard to tell; though some are
started maliciously, while others are
started %innocently by parties that have
left the city, or at least by their
friends. The first questions put to
q person when it is known he is from
Memphis are, How about the fever?
any in Memphis | heard there were
fifty cases there, but the newspapers
keep it DOWN. What made you leave?
You did not think itsafe to stay; now,
did your and before you have time
to answer these questions, as many
more are ahead. and if you get a
chance to answer any you are lucky,
and The first thing you know you hear
it stated that you have said SO and so,
when, in truth, you have stated, or in
tended to state 10 the contrary. Per
sons leaving Memphis should be very
careful in answering these questions
and be sure that you answer every one
emphatically or the first thing you
know you will hear it stated that you
have said so and so, when, in reality
you have said nothing OF the kind.
The crops, where | have been, are
as a rule, in good condition, and some
of the farmers say that they will hay,

took nothing back; hat all he said
was true, and that, furthermore, the
woman Sue Elkins, alias Sue Whiteon
was now in Knoxville, Tenn, with
her sister, both leading dissOlute
lives. Whitney gave himthe lie, and
said no man could talk ia that man
