NASHVILLE World: We have no
faith whatever in the gsnuineness Of
the proposition which Governor Haw-
kins again calls the Legislature to-
gether to consider. 1t is not made by
the genuine holders Of Tennessee
paper, but by speculators in the East.
The Tennessee bondholders now have
a suit against the railroads Of Tennes-
see which is pending in the Supreme
Court Of the United States. They are
assured by some Of the ablest lawyers
in the land that they will gain the
suit, and they are not the men who are
now before the present Legislature
proposing to take 6O,4-5-6 for their
debt. This proposition comes from
the speculators and lobbyists and has
not the Endorsement of the bona ide
holders of Tennessee bonds.

The following letter to President
Baldwin, of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, in Mondays New York
Herald, has matter of interest to cot
ton men:
New ORLEANS, April Is, 1882
To G. 9. Baldwin, Esq, President
Dear Sir: | have your letter Of the
18th inst, inquiring as to the effect of
the food on the planting interest,
both sugar and cotton. The opinion
here, among the best informed per-
sons to be found in the city, is that
the recent overflow in the valley of
the Mississippi river and its tributa-
ries will not cause less cotton to be
made in said section of country this
year than was made last year" This
quotation is from the letter ofthe best
informed man in the South on this
subject. Immediately upon re-
ceipt of your telegram, /
put myself into communication
with gentlemen here who were in daily
correspondence with their customers
in the country, and who had travelling
agents passing from place to place.
mean with the largest cotton and sugar
factors. AS to cotton, | found very
little difference of opinion. All con-
CURED in the opinion that there would
be very little, if any, reduction in cot.
ton from the overflow. The sugar
factors informed me that last year an
Unusual quantity of good cane was left
in the ground, which reduced the
crop. From this additional seed cane
larger crop was this year expected.
II the water continues to run off as
rapidly as it is now running of, it is
thought that the crop will not differ
materially from that Of last year.
In the letter from which | have
quoted the writer says: MY friends
in the lately submerged district write
hopefully and in good spirits.
Although they have lost some horned
cattle and hogs, | rarely hear Of their
