Tbe decision of the Supreme Court in the

is deemed very just decision, so far as the
RIGHTS of the brilliant genius and man of untir-
inc energy aud eterprise, Henry O'Riley, are
concerned although it is rendered in such PhTa-
seology as to allow some persons to so interpret
if as to declare that the decision is in favor OF
Morse against O'Riley The decision however,
protects O'Riley against the claim Of Morse that
he has impugued his patent, or his invention

Judge McKinney.-It will not be long before
the people of Tennessee viii be called upon to
do what they never yet have done, we mean tc
select through the medium of the ballot-bOx
bench ofSupreme Judges and other inferior
judicial officers. We suppose il filling the Su
preme bench, that we viii be allowed to select
one of the candidates from East Tennessee;
and we know of no man that is better qualified
for that high and responsible position, or that
will be more acceptible to the people of the
State at large, than r. J. MCKINNEY. There
is not a more profound jurist in the State, and
we feel safe in saying that he is the first choice
of an overwhelming majority of the people Of
East Tennessee. He should be elected without
ever indicating desire for such distinguished
hOnors. We are not for any man that will at.
tempt to reach seat rpon the Supreme bench,
by a prostituted course of base eectionering
maneuverihg.- Greenevile Spy.
RaF- The above paragraph, coming as it does
from political opponent of Judge MCKINNEY,
is as honorable to the one as it is complimentary
to the other. five wish to have a pure and able
Judiciary, we cannot he guided in the selection
of individuals to preside in our courts, by parti
san considerations. We must look alone to per-
sonal merit and personal qualifications. Any
one who cannot stand this test is unfit for the
office of Judge.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECToRs.-
| We learn that at the recent meeting of thC
Board of Directors, of the Z. T. & Va. Rail
road, in the town Of JonesbOro,' that after
! full discussion and close examination, in which
almost all the ~'embers participated, that they
determined to lay down the / rail; and thai
the President and Engineer in chief were au
thorized to make conditional contracts for as
much as will equip the first section, at the Wes
tern terminus; and that the Board have deter
mined TO commence LAYING down iron at Knox
vile, and push the work from that point.
We ere authorized further to state, chat sinee
the last meeting ofthe Board they have efiec
ted a sale of SIXTY sac thousand dollars Of STATE
Bonds, at ten per cent premium; and also since
their last meeting they have effected sale OF
taceaty thousand dollars Of county Bonds al
ninety cents.
After remaining closely in session for three
DAYS, and tranSactng great deal of impor-
tant business, the Board adjourned to meet a.
gain at the call of the President.
We learn, in connection with the above, that
the "OmniJas" bill has passed the House, en-
its third and last reading, with an amendment,
which has to be concured in by the Senate,
allowing the Board OF Directors, upon the COM
pletion of fifteen miles, instead of thirty, as re-
quired by the Act of 1852, Ifthis amendment
should he ratified by the Senate, and there is
but little doubt but it will, it will enable the
Board to commence laying down iron much
sooner than they could have done, having thir-
ty miles to complete including the bridge a
cross Holston.
Now we believe that the decisio of the
Board in reference to the kind of iron they will
use, was wise one; and that the general pol
icy of the Board is now unobiectionable. Their
course is now calculated to inspire confidence
in the work, and we trust the Stockholders will
generally lay too the helping band-as the
whole matter must depend entirely upon their
action npon the subject.
We learn, and we confess the information. is
little Notifying, that the Stockholders on ev-
cry part of the line are paying up better than
those in Greene county. This is wrong fellow
citizens, for we are the last people that should
be behind in this enterprise. If the advantages
Of the Road are to be greater to one county than
another it is our deliberate opinion, that Greene
county will have the pre-eminence.
Lastly, upon this subject, we are informed
that the thirteenth call fell due on the lst inst,
and that it was fro dollars instead of one as
heretofore.- Greeneville Spy.

MAIL FAILURES.

During the high MIee of the Tennessee River
and tributary streanf4, in the latter part of Jan
uary. causedBy the heavy rains and snow that
fell about that time. the mailswer unayodably
detained for few days, SO they did not reach
Knoxville. The. papers of that place, raised
loud complaints, and by misrepresenting the
facts to certain extent, have ELECTED an inves
tigation by the Department, that cannot fail not
only to vindicate the Pest Master at this place
and the Contractors for carrying the Mails be
tween this place aud Knoxville; but it must
exhibit disposition to complain on the part o
the Press at Knoxville, that should consign THEN
complaints to the contempt of the Department
and of the public.
= a. -nanartmeni has been here, and after full
investigation OF the circumstances in the case
declared that Mr.. Lowe has done his full duty
as Postmaster. This is just what our citizens
all the time believed. Just here we will state
that Mr.. Lowe, has been connected with the
U. S. Mails for number of years. He was
Mail Agent on the Georgia Road under the Ad-
ministration of President Polk, and knows more
about the rules and regulations of the Mail ser
vice, than any or all of those who have uttered
complaints against him.
Messrs. TAYLOR, BRIDGES & Jackson, Con-
tractors on the line between this place and
Knoxville, have also been the victims of com
plant This is one of the best conducted line
Of Stages in the country. The proprietors are
gentlemen of enlarged and liberal views, and
who well know that in order to be successful,
they have to please the public. Accordingly,
they have provided large and elegant coaches,
good teams, and careful drivers. The Agent,
Mr.. HOWARD, is always at his post, and always
seems anxious to accommodate passengers and
facilitate the Mails. Yet, because they would
not cross the River when it was positively dan
gerous-being out of its banks, and covered
with drift wood-they are charged with culpita-
bic negligence of duty! 1t is said that the Fer
rymen here set other men over the River and
could as easily have ferried the mails. This is
true. But the Ferryman refused to be liable
for any accident, and the few who crossed did
it at their own risk, and impelled more by de-
sire to elicit applause FOR a disregard of danger
than by prudential motives. There was COM
plete cessation with the great body of travel
We understand the Ferries at Knoxville would
not run at all. The mails between this and
Nashville failed during the high water. And
the truth is, there was but little mail matter here
to take to Knoxville.
