THE AMERICANS POSITION.

The Nashville American has friends
in Jackson and Madison county who
are anxious to know its exact position
regarding the social rights of the col
OrNd people. The impression is
abroad that it favors equal social
rights on railroad trains, in hotels and
elsewhere. If this impression mis-.
represents The American it should
not he slow in correcting it.-Jackson
Dispatch.
That's fair. The Dispatch must
have read the American very mat.
tentively; but we are always glad to
answer questions civilly asked. On
Sunday, Aug. Is, the American pub
lished the following in answer to the
inquiry of a contemporary couched in
almost the same terms as that of the
Jackson Dispatch.
The American is not 'in favor OF
colored people occupying the same
railroad cars with whites" 1t has
always insisted that the law, which
requires separate cars, shall be rigidly
enforced. At the same time, it also
believes that when negroes are charg
ed 6rsticlasS fare they should have 6
frst'c!ass (separate) car.
The American is not Gin favor Of
whites and blacks enjoying the same
hotel privileges together" As thu
law is, no man, either white OF black
can compel a hotel~keeper to receive
him at alas he can compel a rail
road. In the case of the hotel.keepe
it is not a matter of law, but of bust
ness. The hotel.keeper can do as h
pleases; and he.will: always please to d
as the community in which he live
may desire.
Is this clear? Is the Dispatch sat
isfed? Is the position of The Amer
lean right and just, or is it not so?

The Nashville American, through
its star.eyed "staf correspondent"
nearly every day deliberately insults
the democratic press of the state who
oppose its wild negro and single-con-
vention rantings; and the American is
supported by only a very small NIL
nority of the democratic press, while
it assumes to dictate to and lead the
great majority. If paper does not
throw 1p its hat and yell in unison
with it, why it belongs to the rail
roads, is bought up by Stahlman,
and all such contemplate nonsense.
The truth of the matter is, the Amer
lean and its FIVE or six followers are
the kickers against the party i'll this
state, and they will find it out to their
sorrow when the people speak out IN
convention. Democratic usage IL
this state has been to hold separate
conventions to nominate judicial off
GERS, and the people do not wish tc
depart from that time.honored rule
without sufficient cause.

PATHOLOGICAL NOTES

"a Regarding Two Recent Bodies i'm
 Session in New Haven.
 GRANBY, June 19.-We have just returned from the Congregational General association held on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week at Fair Haven, to recall it's sessions with great satisfaction. It was grand con vocation and participated in by some of the most scholarly of men and fluent of orators. Fair Haven had an opportunity to listen to Professor Day on Bible revision. And had Fair Haven been duly aware of her oppor- tunity she would have stopped Q full hour all her secular industries to hear the learned revisionist speak as he did The only ex- ceptiona1 thing said by him was: "That some critics of the new Bible revision might be cranks' This was undigniied and uncalled for. All else said by him was alike instruc tive and interesting. To the credit of the General association it unan- imously sanctioned the revision and recom- mended the people to read it, and the Sunday school lesson preparers to make the revised the chief text for study and responsive read ing Dr. Anderson seemed to be conspicu- ous in connection with the resolution; Dr. Anderson, of Waterbury, peer of the most refined, intelligent and rhetorical clergyman of New England. He is abreast of the best sentiment of the times, and does his part in lifting the General association upon higher plane at every anniversary. Thanks to gentle men, President Porter, Professors Ladd and Fisher for their instructive utterances; also thanks te Revs. Newman Smyth, Williams and Hillard. The last named is a ringing, sententieus and sharp speaker. He and Ladd used . with good effect the 1ingual scalpel on clergymen as a brotherhood and on the General association ring run instt tution run so as to elevate some and "snuff out others. But if the G. A. was ring-run this year it seemed to keep on the track ahd made uncommonly good time.
 We attended the Temple street council yesterday in the interest of the Rev. Mir. Mil Ter pastor-elect New Haven's best clergy men treated him as peer, as they well might. It seems that he has for years been connected with Fisk university, was for two years mis- sionary in the south of Africa, visited Eng land, and has been connected with the Yale seminary for two or more years. According to the confession of faith read by him, he has 1o idea that the ''rich man. in hades has either repented or been delivered from his torments there. The Temple street Congre gational church has good pastor. And for years one of its truest friends and most eff cient patrons has been John G. North.

 The Vanderbilt stocks were the features of the dealings on the Stock Exchange this morning, ad- vancing on almost every transaction The strength of these stocks was the surprise of the street and everyone seemed to be at loss for reason to which to attribute their buoyancy. Michigan was especially strong, advancing 31s per cent by noon The next strongest stocks were Canada South ern. New York Central, Lake Shore Jersey Central, Lackawanna Manitoba and Houston and Texas. Theadvance ranged from 115 to 25s Der cent The market was very active and dealings were attended with considerable excitement. After 12 o'clock the market lapsed into almost stagnant state Dealings throughout the afternoon were on a limit ed scale and the tone was much weaker. Prices de- clined steadily to the close, when figures showed sharp reaction. The closing prices, however, were generally higher than those of yesterday. Michi- gan Central was an exception and continued strong throughout, the closing prices being only fraction ally below the highest point touched. The strength of the trunk line shares attributed by some to rumors os 8 proposed scheme for new pool.
