NASHVILLE is an educational and
railroad center, it is a growing place
and is prospering as never before, but
somehow the great wave of progress
brings along with it certain social or
moral evils that were not known be-
fore. One or more of the numerous
daily papers published there an
nOunced yesterday that twenty. nine
divorce suits we're set for trial in
one Court That is evidence that
connubial unhappiness is keeping pace
with other things, and that the Courts
are supposed to be able to afford relief.
Up to the last few years divorce suits
were rare in this State, and now, just
as the crop comes on and is ready for
the harvest, Judge Guild goes out Of
office. There is business acCumulat-
ing for just such a man as Judge
Guild, and it is time to recall him to
che bench.

SOME Of the numerous morning
papers of Nashville are carrying on a
lively personal controversy. 1t may
be very interesting to some of the edi-
tors, but the outside world would be
better pleased with pictures Of com
ing circus or spicy advertisements of
patent medicines. Nashville is not an
Athens of the South in all respects,
BY a large majority The papers are
perhaps on an average a little ahead of
anything else there, but the old rural,
weekly style will crop out occasionally.
1t is the rule rather than the excep-
tion to attribute unworthy motives to
those who do not agree with them on
public questions. This may be ele-
waited journalism-of course it is
when it emanates from Nashville-but
it is hardly the style that will ulti.
mately prevail in this country
unless the American people go back
ward instead of forward.

and we may we'll imagine that deli
cate sense Of ofpropriety which construes
every trust into a duty, impels him
to decline an honor uncoupled with
the responsibilities which attach 10
the Office. His resignation has, in
fact, more than once been placed in
my hands, but, upon my earnest en-
treaty, joined with that OF other mem
bers, he reluctantly consented to with
draw it. Very recently the request has
been renewed in terms so emphatic that
| feel it would be ungraeious in us lon
ger to refuse a compliance with his
wishes, and this we may the more
readily do, as it is entirely within our
power, while submitting to bis request,

addition to this, real estate to the
amount of 100000 is owned by the
Seminary, and over Sl56,000 in per-

session ninety four students were in

the General Agent, Treasurer and

"THE FISHING LINE"
A Railroad that Leads up Into
Delightful Region.

The Grand Rapids & Indiana rail-
road, which takes its name at Rich
mond, Ohio, little north of. Cincin-
natl, runs up into comparatively new
country, which is one of the most
attractive regions for tourists, espec
tally those from the South, to be found
anywhere in this country. Its north.
ern terminus is near the Straits
of Mackinac, which connects Lakes
Michigan ana Huron. The principal
city in that vicinity, Pesto,key,
a live, bustling place, delightfully."- sit
uated on bay. This place is 425
miles north Of Richmond. The road
leads through a region abounding in
picturesque scenery. 1t is described
as a paradise for those who are fond of
gun and dog and fishing rod. There
are many delightful places where
there are good hotels and every posi-
hle convenience and facility for
summer recreation. The climate
is especially adapted to the
relief of those who suffer from hay
fever. 1t is believed to be equal it
not superior to the celebrated White
Mountains and other noted resorts as
sanitarium, and many visitors have
testified to this effect. The railroad
is well built and splendidly equipped,
and every possible attention is paid
to the wants and comfort of tourists.
This is the only route by which the
famous summer resorts and lakes, the
grayling and trout streams, black bass
fisheries and hunting grounds Of
Northern Michigan can be reached

GEN. 4 tHURCHILL'S TROUBLES
Report ReRdy-He end His
BOndsmen Taking IL COOIIy.

Little Rock Special to the Chicago Tribune.
The committee which has been in
vestigating the accounts of ex-Treas-
urer, now Governor, Churchill, has at
last concluded its labors, and is ready
to file q report of the result. This
committee was appointed in January,
1881, and has been in almost continu-
Gus session since that time. The
investigation covered a period of six
years, and the report embraces some
400 pages. The total amount of the
deficit is placed in the neighborhood
of $l14,000 The main items COM
prising the defalcation are as follows:
0ver-payment on ten-year bonds, cou-
pons. certificates and excess on thir-
ty-year 900
City and county coupons and bonds...... Is, COO
CITY railroad certificates l2,000
State scrip, funded in thirty-year per
cent State 10000
0verpayment on coupons-.................-2 q 200
Double credit on payment to German
l3OOO
Scrip redeemed in currency from legis
lators and State Oficers...................2 20 900
From the sum total certain credits
are to be deducted which will reduce
the amount to about $1l4,000. The
bondsmen of the Governor have had
expert accountants examining the
books, and claim that he is entitled to
additional credits which will reduce
the sum total to about $4,000. The
bondsmen concluded their investiga.
tion weeks ago, but did not SEQ fit to
make report to the original investi-
eating committee for thelreason,i it is
alleged, that the matter would in any
event 60 to the courts for final adjudi-
cation, and it was not deemed wise to
show their hand" at this time. Little
interest is felt here outside of a GER
tain clique, comprising the friends of
Churchill and the committee. The
investigation has dragged along until
public interest died out in the main
object-the amount of the deficit
and degenerated into a wrangle be-
tween the partizans of the Governor
and the friends of the committee.
The Tribune correspondent is inform
ed thatexperts could lave performed
in ninety days the work which the
committee has accomplished only after
a session of nearly fourteen
months, and a cost to the State Of
nearly $4,000. For months past the
committee has been virtually target,
every newspaper in the State loading
it with ridiCule or coarse abuse. The
committee comprised State Senator
Judkins, anti amendment Democrat;
State Senator Mitchell, amendment
Democrat, and Senator Boyd, Green
backer,a and the salary of each was $6 per
day, the sum which is paid State
Legislators. The report will possibly
be fled with the Secretary Of State
this week; in any event it will not
be withheld long. The general i'm
preston is that there will be much
delay in securing a final settlement
of the business. An old politician
said to your correspondent: II hardly
think I'll live to see the matter set.

situation very coolly, and his bonds

about 1t to any extent.
