party to set up another form of government in

the house Monday, Mr.. Wiltse, of
Chattanooga, whose avoirdupois is
about 12O, sat down on John Railway
Beasley, who assumes the leadership
of the Wilson-Sayage factions and
fiattened him out like q pancake. His
speech was short, but-pointsd and Wig
Orous, and stamped him as one of the
best debaters in the house. Whoever
tackles him will hardly get off without
some scratches and bruises.
The democrats all recognize Judge
Butler as more than ma ID in debst !,
for their best man. He is bold and
aggressive, and is giant when COM
pared with those who will oppose him.
Judge Harrison has been quiet thus
far, but he is more than a match for
any man on the other side. The le-
publicsns have the advantage in the
house, not only in numbers but also in
ability.
The senatorial pr.zs is the great
bone OF contention. Ordinarily, the
failure Of the senate t, elect speaker
in three whole days would elicit a
great deal Of comment. But now it is
not thought of, except as a factor in
the greatest polit Cal fight in the his
tory If the state. This overshadow
every thing else. There are about
thirty candid tss for secretary Of state
here, but they are hardly ever men
toned. Several clever gentlemen are
candidates for comptroller aud treas
urer, but there is little talk about them.
The coutcst III t1e house OF r. pre- sci l.
tives has been exciting aud !. t Ibborr,
but the effect Of the result upon the
senatorial CONTEXT is about all that is
considered. All the skirmishing by
day and the wire-puiiing and pipe~
laying at night ia in reference t, the
main contest. Every train brings
t, The city some one who is sup
posed TO have Influence WITH some Sc n
ator or representative. The forces are
being maneuvered aud put in position
to do the most good. The air is con,
stantiy filed with rumors, many Of
them the most absurd imsgin able.
Everything points t, prolonged aud
exciting truggle. The republicans are
quietly but earnestly at work, and feel
that they have fair knowledge of the
situation. We must watch and wait.

We see from an article printed
in the Philadelphia Times that
Philadelphia and New York capt.
alists have determined to place
handsome iron excursion boats on
the Hudson river, Long Island
sound and on the waters of the bay
of New York, down to Coney Is
land, instead of the unsafe wooden
death traps. They intend to have
large portion of their feet equips
ped by the opening of the summer.
In all, thirty boats are to be built,
and contracts for the building Of
seven on the Delaware, where they
will all be constructed, have already
been made. It is not improbable
that this new undertaking in New
York and Philadelphia will lead te
G. revolution in the steamboat ex'
cursion business all over the coun'
Ey. The appalling disasters thai
have taken place on wooden boats
during the past few years plainly

FRIDAY, JAN. Z, 1881.

The New York Truth, of the 18th
inst, published an open letter to
Gen. Garfield acknowledging the
Morey Chinese letter.to be a forgery,
of which the following is an extract:
"rhis acknowledgement is due to
you from the journal ia which the let
ter first appeared, 1t is made voIun-
tarily and as an act Of simple justice,
for which we believed as we did, until
few weeks past, that you were the
author CT the letter. no bribe could
tempt nor threat intjmidate us into
making contrary statement. Hsv-
ing sscertained, however, our error, it
il qualification to Us TO give the same
prominence to tnis acknowledgment
that We gave the forged letter and
thereby make all amends in our power
for wrong of which Truth was an
unconscious instrument"

THE SITUATION AT NASH
WILLIE,

| NASHVILLE, Jan. D n, 1SSl.-Ine
state capitol is perhaps che OF the
dreariest, uninvi!ing places on the
footstool. The exterior is imposing,
but the interior is cold, humid and d.
lapidated. The carpet Oh the floor OF
the house Of representatives has done
service for legislative boats for sixteen
years and is decidedly the verse for
wear. The desks are unvarnished
and tho chairs rickety, some
thing like the credit of the
state. The committee rooms
are uncnm1crtable. cherries and as
unclean as tie party that has had con-
troll of the state government for the
past ten years. The humid" atmos-
phere of the state capitol has already
told upon members Of the legislature,
and nearly every one L meet is cough
ing, sneeZing, and complaining Of
severe colds.
For three long dreary days the two
houses have been trying to organize.
The senate has not yet elected a
speaker. Ninety eight ballots have
been taken and no election yet.
Every member of the body has
been voted for. The highest vote re-
ceived was two or three short of the
number required to elect. The prob
lem is knotty one and no nearer a
solution, apparently, than when the
senate met on Monday. There will
be the usual log rolling and caucusing
tonight, which may result in some
thing decisive.
The present legislature impresses me
as an improvement over any we have
had for years. There are men of real
ability in both branches. La tae sen~
ate there are Judge w. nj. Smith, of
Memphis; Mr.. Hill, Of the same
place; Mr.. Duggan, CT Sewer, and
Mr.. Watson, of Nashville, all
of them men of ability. Duggan
has had more experience than
any man in the senate. Judge Smith
and Mr.. Hill are djguifi I'D gentlemen.
who would be an ornament to any
| legislative body in America. Senator
Watson is, without doubt, one of the
most brilliant lawyers of his age in the
state. In point of ability therepubli-
cans have the advantage in both
branches. In the house Hon. Howell
E. Jackson is the leading democrat.
He is An able man, good lawyer. and
an upright, honest gentleman. But
after him, the democrats have no one
who Ia the equal of Butler, Wiltse,
Smith, of Memphis, or Poston. There
are quite a large number Of young
| members on the republican side who
will make their mark. In fact the
| house taken as whole, as we'll as the
senate, appears to be body OF men of
| whom the state need not feel ashamed.
After mixing with the members
here for several days I have not
changed the conclusion reached before
coming here. / am convinced that
the low-tax element preponderstes.
Many are willing to compromise ss
high as sixty and elk, but more favor
SO and 4. My judgment is, amajority
will not 60 above that, but will prob.
ably, by tight squeeze, go to SO and
Is. T have not talked with a republi-
can who is net willing to vote to make
the coupons receivable for taxes.

demonstrate, if demonstrations
were needed, that the day of wooden
steamers for excursion purposes has
gone by. Now that capital has
been turned in this direction, it is
evident in the very nature of things
that one>half of the old tubs at
present afoat will haye to be used
as fire wood. The sooner they are
replaced by iron steamers the bet
ter it will be for the whole public.

II the Nashville Banner of the
18th inst, we clip the following:

N--~ ~N~AN "AAA
"Mr. Butler is very indignant b.
cause Of his defeat. He does net rel
iah the idea Of thiIty-six republicans
being controlled by one greenbacker."
And in the same column and di>
rectly below the above we find this
paragraph:
"C0I. r. r. Butler missed the hon-
orable position of being speaker of the
house, but is not at ell disappointed.
In fact he bears it heroically. Col.
Butler will suffer all things for the
sake of his party. We commend his
example to some Of cur democratic
friends. Until the democrats can
initiate the republicans in self-sacrifice
they can never hope to attain that per-
feet organization that will challenge
success on occasions"
The Banner is little mixed on
