OUR STATE PRISON.

The State prison at Nashville will
contain comfortably about 400 pris-
oners, yet it holds over 600. 1t an
swered the purpose well enough when
first bailt, but for many years past it
has been uncomfortably crowded, and
but for the fact that many of the con-
victs are employed on railroads, in
mines and on farms, it would be i'm
possible to crowd them into the peni-
tentiary. The time is not far off when
some new arrangement will have to
be made. We have on an average
over one thousand convicts all the
year around. The present accommo-
dations are inadequate, and the ques-
tion must be met at no distant day.
The penitentiary, when built, some
ierty years ago, was out in the country,
now the city has grown out TO it and
the place is in the suburbs on a street
car line. The drainage is bad, and
spreads sickness all the way down to
the river on each side of small creek
which runs through thickly settled
ueighborhood. The State has no right
TO create and maintain a disease feed
ing nuisance on the borders of the
State capital, the most populous
CITY. since the annexation Of
Edgefeld, in Tennessee. The
village that was has grown to be
a commercial emporium, the entrepot
of rich, wealthy, tax paying division
Of the State and the educational cen
ter Of the South. We are all proud
of Nashville, not only on account of
its historic associations, its command.
ing position and political relations
with the rest of the State, but for the
intelligence, culture and hospitality
of the people. 1t is place Of solid
growth, the Athens of the South, the
home of ripe scholarship and gen
erous, refined people. This eyesore
upon the borders of Nashville will
have 70 be removed sooner or later.
A portion of the convict labor can be
employed in building a new peniten-
tiary at some suitable locality, where
it will not retard the progress OF a
city or be particularly in anybody's
way, and yet not be too much out Of
the way. This question has been
agitAted before, and its consideration
can hardly be postponed by the next
legislature.

A FamOus CorresDoudeut.

LONDON, February 9.-Dr. VIM.
Howard Russell, the celebrated war
correspondent, whose pictures of the
Zulu campaigns and of the Transvaal
Beers have transferred to the Tele-
graph much of the fame that he
originally won for the Times, arrived
here yesterday. He is preparing to
defend himself against the at
tack Of Sir Garnet VOL
seley, who charges him with
coloring his letters to the predjudice
Of the British army in South Africa
DR.. Russell is man of energy. He
no sooner landed than he made his
way to the Horse Guards and asked
for an interview with the Duke of
Cambridge He has long been init
mate with the commander in chief,
and has long been favored by
the royal family. He has ridden
beside the Prince of Wales howdah
in the jungles of Nepaul and stood
among the elect at Agra durbar. 1t
is needless, therefore, to say that he
returned triumphant from the inter
view. The duke expressed the ut
most confidence in his yeracity. and
the matter will now resolve itself into
a literary duel between Sir Garnet
and the valiant doctor.

Secret Of French Prosperity.

France is aifording fresh proof that
she is one of the most wonderful ma
tions on the face of the earth. The
disasters Of the Franco Prussian war,
and the payment of five milliards Of
francs as the further penalty for en-
tering upon that war, would have Grip
pied ordinary nation. Butthe secret
of Frances wonderful recLperatiye
strength and general prosperity is
found In her admirable land system
The occupants Of the land own it. The
100000 farmers of France are free
holders, and pay 10 rents to q class of
absorbent drones, as in Ireland and
England. What the French farmer
producesis his own. He has only taxes
to pay for the support Of the State, and
is not crushed down under the weight
Of a landed aristocracy. He is not
evicted in a year Of bad crops. He is
not obliged to live from hand to mouth
ir rags and squalor all his lie and to
appeal to the worlds charities to keep
him from starvation. The French
revolution emancipated them FROM
feudsl serfdnm, and elevated
them to tho rank of in
dependent free holders. The
French government contemplates en-
tering upon an outlay for State rail
ways, canals, works Of irrigation, river
navigation, and harbor improvements
Of astonisbjng magnitude and such as
the most prosperous country could
alone entertain. 1t win be remcm-
bered that NJ. de Freycinet, the new
prime minister of France, before leay
ing his old department, drew up an
elaborate repoEt, smbodying a gigantic
scheme for the creaFi9n, extension
and anian Of railways and canals
throughout the country. Fhe esti.
mated cost of these improvements ia
nine milliards Of francs, or 81 800, ,0O0,-
900; but France is not deferred there
by, sn,d in twelve years the scheme is to
be worked out 10 i.s entirety. Already
France is noted for tie comEletoness
el her railway system, which, with her
riyefs sad canals, afford . means Of
communication appaFeptly leaving
little to be desired but she is i'm.
pressed with the belief that improve
ment is possible, and she is going
TO add 10000 miles to her railways
and 600 miles to her rivers and canals.
This fresh bugst 9f enterprise on the
part Of France requires eQntjpVod
peace with all the world and 10 more
wars with Germany The war pi
"revanche" must be postponed to the
next century

tentative efforts to bring the matter to
the arbitrament of arms. Mr.. Button.
while declaring his readiness to defend
himself if attacked, replied in this
manly way to the suggestion of a
duel:
l do not propose, in any contingen-
cy, to follow you out of this State on a
hostile errand, in violation of the laws
otGod aud my country; nor do care
to add to the number of fools whose
quarrels are, through such interven-
tion as you propose, ''amicably and
honorably adjusted. I" | will further
tell you, what, it seems to me. YOU
should have known, that, as Chris
tlan man, am opposed to dueling; do
not accept the so called Code
OF Honor, aud hereby de-
clare that no power on earth
could induce me to do violence to my
conscience in this regard. | do not
wish to shoot at nor kill you. nor do |
intend to be victim to wicked and
barbarous practice that my soul alb
hors; Besides, think that my life is
worth more than yours; for am de
voting the remnant of it that remains
to the incubation of private morality
and upright principles Of public pol
icy, from which / shall not be deter
red by the fear of man. And now, if
II be any satisfaction to you to say
that refuse an invitation to the field
you are at full liberty to say so, for
such is the fact.

THE CRY OF BOARDING HOUSES.

The Appeal favors Washington
City as the place for holding the ma
tionaI Democratic convention. We
have only one objection, and that is
the arrogance and penuriousness Of
the hotel and boarding house keepers.
There are ample accommodations, it
is true, and the national capital is an
attractive, beautiful city, but the
people there think they own it, gov
ernment property, patronage and all,
aud that the rest of the people in this
country were made for the sole pur-
pose of paying them tribute
either directly or indirectly.
The seventeen thousand government
employees are go many slaves, who know
that to let a word OF criticism against
the radical administration drop from
their lipswoull be the same as to hand
IN their resignation. They hate or
affect to hate everything Democratic
ar Southern. Their bread and butter
and clothes depend upon this, and
n. rhaps the unfortunate creatures,
YER, few Of whom could not make
liy ing elsewhere if turned out
of their present positions are to some
extent excusable. They are a craven,
abiect class in the sight of their tyr
ranical masters, and have not the
courage or inclination to assert their
manhood. But at clearinghouse,
where they happen to come in contact
with a Southern gentleman, many of
them mSke themselves very offensive,
and talk about we" of the govern
asent as it they owned it. Washing
ton is a city Of hotels and boarding
houses. This is its commerce, its
stock in trade, and it has nc other
except in che shape of crumbs that
fall from the government table. The
keepers of these eating aud lodging
places make up in extortion and eco
nomieal fare what they may lack in
actual rudeness. The people have
marrow local ideas and cannot rise
above them. In the event of a Dem
ocrat becoming President, nine-tcnths
ofthem, employees and ali, uldbecOme
blatant Democrats in less than no
time. Delegates to the conyea-
ton who might desire to sec
the capital aud visit Washington )
grave, as we'll as his unfinished mons
mept would not find it pleasant

thore are reasons in favor of holding
the.convention there. 1t is accessible,
and all candidates would have about
an equal chance. There would be 10
Rocal pressure in favor ofany particular
man. unless Mr.. Bayard might have a
Slight advantage from his long resi-.
asnee there and being so near at home.
