learning and prominence, this circle is
not looked upon with any favor by the
majority of the colored people here.
The usual remark, which may perhaps
be attributed so envy or to disappointed
ambition, that one hears among col
ored people is that this exclusive set is
not good enough for white society and
too good for that of their own race.
Fortunately, there are enough of them
to make sufficiently large circle for the
social life they desire.
There is another and much larger
society here that may be designated as
of the second rank. While holding no
social relations with the set Just men
toned, they are equally exclusive as re-
CARDS those whom they hold beneath
them in the social SCALE This class is
composed of Government clerks and of
people in comfortable circumstances.
There are good many colored men in

In the city is occupied by them. This

in the heart of the most fashionable
part of the city. } carly all of these
colored residents own their houses, and
refuse to sell. The property is very
valuable and must ultimately pass out
of their possession. These people are
very fond of social life, but they do not
find it in entertaining, but rather in So
cables, balls, picnics and especially in
their churches. They are well dressed,
seem to prosper, and are happy. For
the great bulk of the colored popula-
tion-the servants, laborsrs and the
poor-they have sympathy, butno more
have cal relations with them than a
white family would. These latter in
the main are thriftless, living from hand
to mouth; happy if they do nothing,
happy if they get job. Their social in
stincts are gratitied by the organization
and maintenance of societies of all sorts,

An article in the February Gen.
tavy, by Mr.. Cable, shows the convict
system of Tennessee to be about as
bad as any or no system, could pos
sibly be. There is nothing whatever
practically reformatory, with much
that is too revolving for general pub
LEGATION. There is no decent separ-
alton of male and female prisoners.
The chaplain and warden at the
State Penitentiary at Nashville, de-
spair of every effort to influence
those who are under their charge.
All that is done is providing for
efficiency in labor and against insur-
rection and escape. The prison is
totally condemned by the physician,
who says, "No amount of remodel
ing or tinkering can make it COM
Portable or healthy" All this is a
great blot upon civilization, and
Tennessee, and calls for immediate
attention.

The Lower House of Congress,
by resolutions, has been vigorously
attacking the land grants to railroad
corporations, upon the ground of
enormous tracts being unearned.
These resolutions we're so strongly
supported-258 yeas to Is nays
that decided action must be taken
in the Senate; where, however, the
railroad men will oppose a most
determined front. According to
General Garfield in 1874, a total of
25O, 900, 900 acres,or 39O,625 square
miles, were conferred upon corpor-
ations during the few years pre-
ceding the above date. Of this
almost inconceivable amount it is
computed more than one-third has
not been honestly earned, and that
fully lOO,OO0,O0O acres are forfeit
