MAXWELL. llorsE, NASHVILLE, Tenn. !
June Sth, 1881.
] hcsilated as to remaining in Nash
vile to-day, but am glad did. I have
heard splendid sermon, enjoyed sweet
music, Witnessed the fullies of fashion,
and seen n number Of friends. feel
very much at home in Nashville, and
think it the most desirable of all cities,
always, Of course, excepting the city Of
Winchester, where everybody knows, or
tries to know, everybody elsc's business,
and the air is pure and water ditto.
Well, it rains, aud having left my
umbrella Mt home, as | always do when
it rains and always don't when the sun
shines, after leaving home, am forced
to stay in doors, hence these few lines.
Bat there are only two subjects | can
think about that might lrIve interest
my. lnc Hlilil Que IL
TIE CROPS
| have Travelled considerably within
the past few weeks, and from all have
seen and heard it appears that the
hearts Of all should I've full Of thankful
ness for the splendid prospect Of Il
bounlful crop Of the essentials, such rs
wheat and corn, and grain generally.
From Carter to Shelby the eye meets
with evidence that the labors of the
farmer a.c being rewarded beyond reas.
enable expectation, and good reports
come from other States.
TIE POLITICAL OUTLOOK
is also encouraging Although many
Republicans appear jubilant over the
nomination of Blaine and Logan, yet it
is pal pablc that most of them in the
Southern States are disappointed and
grieved because Arthur and Lincoln
we're not the choice of the Convention
Two men with bittercr and more Sec
tiona feeling towards the South could
not have been selected, and this fact
will, honestly believe, ALLEVIATE thous'
H,ds of conservative Republicans in the
North who are tired Of keeping up strife
after the war has been over for twenty
years; who have friends and relatives
down South-mcn who have come here
to live and prosper and identify them
selves with our people. They see thai
the nomination of Blaine and Logan II
calculated to make the South more sol
id that the bitter sectional feelings o
Blaine and Logan tend directly to keep
ing open the wounds which every tru'
patriot wants to see healed forever, an'
if the Democrats should select gooC
ticket it will win largely from the indie
pendent, conservative element whicl
holds the balance of power. Whom vii
they select? Well, it does seem tina
Tjlden and Hendricks the old ticket
will be nominated ON first ballot,
not hy acclamaton. There is Il univel
sal expression in favor Of them Me
have ceased to discuss the physical cor
dition of Mr.. Tilden. They say If he
only able to take the oath of office, the
. want him. and if he should die next da
. that his place will be well filled by MI
Hendricks. And | can but think tina
with Tilden and Hendricks the Demo'
racy will carry New York and Indian;
and this is tantamount to their election
As to our State Convention the lSt
inst, there is not the shadow of II doul
~ to the nomination of
b GOV. WIN. d. BATE
b, So far every County Convention has ii
J. structed for him, and he will be non,
mated by reclamation.
c Well, must close, and enjoy myse
II awhile with some friends. ] meet man
e here whose faces remind me of Winche
81 tor their native home, but no one
:. impressivcly more than Col. Hayd'
: March, the most excellent superinten
r. cut of the Capitol. He looks in sple
did health, and just the same as ever
I..,,, nolite and accommodating.
