Judge Hoadly in the South.

BLoUNT SPRINGS (Ala.) Correspond
ence Nashville american, August 2
Judge Hoadly has rather slow deliv-
cry. His words come out clean cut and
distinct. To the shorthand man, who
has struggled to catch the speech of the
mumbling, so-called orators, the Judge
is a God-send. A longhand writer
could almost put him on paper. The
Judge is a graceful speaker, though evil
IDENTIFY of nervous, energetic tempera-
ment.
This is Judge Hoadly's first visit to
Alabama since 1877, when he appeared
in the famous Mobile and Ohio cases at
Mobile-a cause which in general points
resembles very much the Tennessee Rail-
road bond cases. A year or so ago Judge
HOadly was at Nashville on q similar
mission. At Mobile Judge Hoadly ap-
peared for the bondholders. The decis-
ion was against his clients. At Nash
vile he Jared no better. "Indeed,n re-
marked the Judge, "the South has not
treatedm well professionally" 1t will
be remembered that Judge Hoadly was
one of the lawyers who represented the
Democrats before the Electoral Com
mission. He has impressed every one
as much by his conversation as by his
superb address, as politician and con-
stitutional lawyer of great depth, capac-
ity and energy. He would worry q
much more difficult subject than the
wooden-pin the Ohio Republicans have
put up for him to knock down.
In the course of brief conversation
with your correspondent, Judge Hoad-
ly referred to Tennessee's debt. The
Judge is well posted on this, as he rep
resents the bondholders in the case
pending before the Supreme Court at
Washington, and which he has strong
hopes of winning.
In further conversation, Judge Hoad-
ly said that General Ward would make
an active contest for the Senate. Foster
would probably be the republican can
didate -'"That is if Hayes does not
cheat him out of it,"
"ls Hayes ambitious?'
Ambitious! Does he want office?
Why that man would take anything
in his reach. He is the trickiest man
in the country. Why, he wanted to be
President of the Loyal League. The
committee was against him. What
uoCo LIZ uO! CllpS Ill UclOTe ULl0 COIil-
mittee has time to report, gets his
friends at work, and when the commit
tee come in, greatly to their surprise,
Hayes is already elected. I'll tell you
what he wants. He wants to be elected
President. He got the office when he
was not elected. Now he wants to go
there again, and wants to read his title
clear. You should see the contempt
the Republicans have for him in Wash
ington. His parsimonious Administra-
ton disgusted even them. They say,
you know, that he lived on the inter-
est of his income. He'd take any office
he could get. If Foster don't look out
Hayes will be back again in Washing
ton"
Politics were dropped ,and to the inter-
rogatories of a bystander, Judge Hoadly
answered that he was greatly pleased
with this section. He contemplated
tour ofobservation, and expected to 60
to Birmingham and thence to Chatta-
nooga and Cincinnati. A Company in
which he was Director although he
had never taken an active part, was
now being urged to take direct con-
troll of the Cincinnati Southern and the
system to New Orleans. "Should be
defeated, and this arrangement is eff
fected, 1 shall be thrown into direct
management in the Southern railway
