The managers of the Nashville
drill did wrong in postponing the
opening Monday. Several thou
sand persons went there from
all parts of the country to be total
ly disappointed. The managers
had no right to withhold the prom
ised pageant. We have fallen in
to the habit of doing things loosely
down south until the country
doesn't know when to believe in our
programs and promises. The
newspapers are induced to write
glittering articles and describe un-
told preparations for unprecedented
displays, etc, and when the
time comes the public finds it was
all wind. Nashville was magnifi-
Gently decked out in flags and
things, but that was all. One could
hear that there were several com
panies Of soldiers IL the city, but
he was not permitted to sec
them. The rain and cold was no
excuse for the postponement. The
people paid their money to go to
see the show and were denied that
privilege in the face of thousand
promises. 1t viii perhaps he bet
ter the balance of this week.

Political Chaos.

Washington special to the Cincinnati En-
qUirer.
Although within a year of the
time for nominating candidates for
president and vice-president, it
would be a bold man indeed who
would prophesy who will head the
tickets of either party. In times
gone by within a year Of the gather
ing of the clans public sentiment or
political direction, and some candi-
date wonld have the BOOM" as it
we're.
In this capital, the focus of politi-
cal maneuvering, there is absolute
quiet. The politicians are them
selves bewildered, and the leaders
look to the laymen for points"
The president is running the gov
eminent evenly and smoothly, and
seemingly is more concerned about
leaving for a legacy respectable
administrative term than a desire
to renew it. Four years ago at this
time the force and power of the then
administration was used to bolster
up a presidential candidate. The
patronage was shamefully abused.
The contrast now is so refreshing
that it becomes noticeable and con
spicuous.
Although within a month Ohio,
one of the pivotal states, is to have
republican and democratic con-
ventions, but little is said about it
here. The leading republicans are
not only apathetic but demoralized.
The longer-headed ones know that
without a genuine reconciliation Of
the factions there can be no further
victories. Such a result is further
off now than when the breach be-
gun; and the old stand-bys who
have borne the b"unt of the fight in
the front are sulking in the rear, in
wardly hoping that the democrats
may gain national power.

The Oldest inhabitant never dis
covered the bad air in the Nashville
jail until Col. Polk engaged lodging
there. Then the clamor began and
the old jail is swept away in the
storm of complaint like a bad smell
before a high wind and new one is
to be built. 1t is not the pigsty
that smells. The pigs neglect their
toilet. Build a new jail and people
it with the same unkempt crew, and
any highly-cultivate nose will he
thrown back on its launches when
il enters. Onions cannot be trans
formed into pomegranates. Take
away from a Jail its frowsy fumes of
fetid foulness, and you deprive it of
all worth smelling for. The mouldy
must that is wrapped in a greasy
quilt when tinctured with the in
cense of whitewash, mixed with
dishwater and applied with a broom,
exude sitting vapors of fetor that
pillow through the silIen tissues of
the membranes of a well-kept nose
like cyclone born in q slaughter
pen. The lawyer who holds his
first consultation with his prisoner
client, when the first faint breath
strikes him looks around to see who
threw that egg. No, brethren, our
jails should be upheld as the sacred
scentbags on the borders of liberty
to mark the line between cross eyed
cussedness and fragrant freedom.
You may raze the old Jail and re-
build if you will, but the scent is
even the more samer still.

A movement is on foot to bring
science practically into use for the
improvement of public roads in
Tennessee. Commissioner Nc
Winter in conjunction with the
Vanderbilt University faculty is
perfecting arrangements to supply
competent engineers to locate roads
and regulate grades, etc, free of all
cost, to any locality in the state.
The Investigations of these learned
professors into the road system of
France and other European coun-
tries show a cost not exceeding what
we spend upon our miserable sys-
TEN. They found that the roads
were all broad and level and hard
there and that team that would
stall in Tennessee with 800 or 1000
pounds load could readily draw
$500 or 5000 pounds there. Then
they set in to find the reasons that
produced such q difference, and it
was ascertained that that people
employed the most perfect system
of scientific engineering to start
with, thereby getting level courses
and the best material applied cor
rectly. That was the whole of it..
After starting thus and building
them substantially, to keep them up
was a small work. Level roads will
not wash away. Here we run our
roads on the side of ridges and up
and down hills at all kinds of grades
and we lay on the rock and the
gravel, and the early and the latter
rains play havoc with them, and we
must begin again. If this move
ment injects only modicum Of these
scientific methods into our system,
it will be an Unreasonable benefit
to us. The plans for action have
not yet been fully agreed upon.

The railroads have been impor-
tuned and consented, as usual, to
carry all articles that represent
Tennessee's products and indus
tries to the Louisville and Boston
exhibitions, free of charge. This
is in afrectionate contrast to the
manner of Tennessee in dealing
with them. The shoe is on the
other foot now. When we need
their aid we do not hesitate to ask
it, and get ii, and then we turn round
and demand control of them to reg
ulate their charges and business
generally and place them under
bonds to do as we like. The idea
is that railroad corporations have
no souls-that are entitled to any
respect,
Except when we wanta favor.

The Washington correspondent
of the American says: "One of the
most important works for the pub
lie improvements of the country is
the Tennessee river, and in common
with many others the funds for its
successful prosecution will be ex-
hausted by the beginning of the
new fiscal year, or July 1st." The
original estimated cost of improv-
ing the river below Chattanooga
was $4,133, 900. There has been
appropriated for the work $2,345,
500, leaving the amount necessary
to complete the existing project 81, =
1877, 500. The amount necessary to
complete the work above Chatta-
nooga is only $4,000. Nothing fur
Their can be done however without
further appropriations by congress.
Thus, by the discontinuance of this
vastly important public work, the
people must suffer for the neglect
of a duty their congressman owed
them.

The Yellow Fever in a Mexican Town.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-In the middle
of August last j. A. Robertson and a party
of five went down to Mazatlan with the
intention of purchasing a sugar planta-
ton. Yellow fever was found to prevail
to such an extent in the place that the
party Immediately beat a retreat, and as
soon as they had gone into the country every
one of them was taken down with the
disease, one dying. After recovering, Rob-
ertson returned to Mazatlan, waiting an OBJ
portunity to get away from the pesthole.
Up to the time OF leaving, October Is,
5000, or one-third Of the population, had
died. The local papers stated that dur
ing the first week Of September there
had been 4S0 coffin burials; but as a large
portion of the population was in abject pov-
erty it was estimated the death rate was
fully 900 during the week. The day Robert
son left eleven bodies were thrown over
beard from the Mexican gunboat Democratic,
lying in the harbor. OF the large Amer
lean colony only two escaped an at
tack of the fever, and the names of seven
well-knowu San Franciscans are given As
having died. Robertson believed the fever
WAS at an end, it having nothing more to
feed on. The virulence of the plague was
such that in some cases persons died thirty
minutes after being attacked.
