Nov. g. 1891.
The Terminal Company has mentioned Its
hold on the Fast Tennessee. Virginia and
Georgia railroad. which although one OF the
Terminal properties. has heretofore been
morteaeed quite independently under the
Price Il Thomas influence. The annual
meeting of the East Tennessee Com
pany will take place on the 18th
of this month, and General Thomas had sent
out request for proxies in the names Of him
self Mr. Moore of Moore Il Sch.ey. and Mr..
BraIton. for the purpose of continuing
the old management. but at recent
meeting of the directors Of the
Terminal Company Mr.. Inman produced a
scene not down on the programme by calling
attention TO this move of General Thomas and
asking the board point blank TO give him
Qnman) proxies Of the Terminal Company
which would insure 10 him the control OF the
East Tennessee stockholders meeting. ms
the Terminal board asseuted 10, and so lnman
was put IN power.
Who the members Of the new East Ten
nessee board will be has not been de-
termined, but the effect of this action OF the
Terminal aboard would seem certainly to
make the East Tennessee railroad work more
tremendously than heretofore with the other
Terminal properties.
PALMER AND HIS BLOODY SHIRT.
The evening Sun saws: "COmmander-in-
Chief Palmer Of the G.. 4. r., need not be
too roundy condemned for his bloody-shirt
order. Hate gives clairyoyance, and General
Palmer foresees an Investigation OF the Pen
sion Bureau. The wise soldier takes the az
gressive.'
THE IMMIGRATION RECORD.
At the present rate of immigration this

rivals at the port of New Ork. In 1885 the
total number registered was 455. 400 The
number this year up till the lst Of November
was 70 900 ahead of the corresponding period
last year. and if the ratio keeps up during this
month and next the arrivals for 1891 will be
not less than 440,0 600.

GOVERNOR HILL AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
Mayor Grant appointed Thomas +. Grady

/ 600 and the term ten years. The appoint
nent is universally credited 10 Governor
Hills influence. as he and Grady are strong
personal friends. Grady became notorious
when, as a member of the Senate in 1882 's3 |
le bolted and refused to confirm Governor
)levelands appointees. When he was men

Iention. and made harangue against him,
which caused General Bragg 10 exclalm. We
