MARRIED SouAw.-A Lceonpton (Kan-
sas) paper has the following:
"A yourg man Of this city, having become
tired OF living in state of single blessedness,'
went across the Kaw River few days
since-profered his heart and hand To young
and handsome Delaware SQuaw, (said to be
worth S25,00O)-was accepted, then went
right off and got married. This is a streak
of luck for our young man, which will ena-
bic him TO live at his ease hereafter. We
learn that n few more squaws who are rich,
accomplished, and handsome, say that they
would prefer marrying white man TO their
own red brethren. Now is the time for our
young and good-looking men TO MARI,

Yes, fine chance to play williams part,
and show the red man how black awhile
mans heart can be for the sake of gain.

Qua RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC DEsr.-
The Report of R. G. Payne, ESQ.,, Road
Commissioner, has been sent into the Gene.
raj Assembly and is Published in the Nash.
vile papers. We gather the following inte
resting facts from the Report:
There are now 635 miles Of finished rail.
road in the State.
The roads which have received and are en-
titled 10 State aid, including such as have
been finished and those which have been
commenced, make an aggregate in distance
Of 1000 miles.
The total actual and estimated cost of
1885 miles of these roads is S2s, Si4,739-
an average of S2,s26 per mile.
The State aid granted and to be granted 10
these roads, whose cost is here given, is Sl6,-
100000. rt
The whole amount of aid pledged BY the
State TO the companies which have complet.
ed their roads, or placed parts thereof under
contract, amounts to al9,096.0OO.
The amount of aid granted and to be
granted to the finished roads and to those
now in actual progress OF construction, is
Sl5,6l5.000-leaving S3,6l5,0OO as the sum
pledged TO those companies which have sus-
pended operations.
Assuming that some Of the roads whose,
construction has been suspended will be
hereafter completed-thnt others now in
progress will not be built to the extent ORR
ginally contemplated-and that some of the
companies will unite their roads with others
which tho law allows them to do--assuminp
these things, which we are Of opinion he
may well do, the Commissioner arrives at the
conclusion, that it may be safely estimated
that the present and prospective liability Of
the State under its General Improvement
System will not exceed SibDOO,oOO.

THE ELECTION OF A. o. P. MICH
OLSON,

The course Of the sham democracy in the
Tennessee Legislature in reference to the
sea, in the Senate now occupied by Col. Bell,
is receiving, as it deserves, the unqualified
disapproval of the conservative press OF the
country. The editor of the National Inislli-
eencer, after abiding to the course OF the
party in regard to Jones, speaks Of this party
outrage as follows:
The majority Of the Tennessee Legislature
not satisfied, il would seem, with having thus
ousted one Wing Senator from his seat, has
proceeded with what was pronounced an in
decent haste when the party tables were
turned, to the election of kstcessor to The
Hon. John Bell, whose teruf,bf service will
not expire until the 4th March, 1859. The
fact that the sessions of the Tennessee Le-
gislature are biennial is assigned as the
ground and justification of this procedure,
which has for its evident aim to place the
eviction of Dir. Bell beyond the hazards Of
the next ensuing election for members OF
that body, in which it was doubtless feared
that majority might possibly be found to
favor the reelection of that able and veteran
Statesman, WHOse WitHufuWal HOnl tnO Poo-
lie service, We take occasion to say, will be
source of regret to all who know how to APP
preclate political integrity and independence,
or who can postpone the triumphs OF party
to the interests of country. Alta time when
our Senatorial ranks have been unusually
thinned by death we can Ill afford to spare
from our National Councils men of large
experience and enlighted patriotism, to whom
so many have been accustomed 20 look rs the
trusted guides and opponents of sound le-
gislation. 1t may not, however, become US
to animadvert upon the eagerness with which
the Tennessee Democracy have preciptated
the election of United States Senator TO
supersede Mr.. Bell, and we are not sure,
moreover, that any words Of ours would re.
ceive from them respectful hearing. But,
il they stand 10 no awe Of political opPo-
nents, there was reason to hope that they
would at least have manifested some defer
ence towards themselves, by paying to their
former opinions and conduct the poor hon.
age of little consistency.

w Our summary Of legislative news is
necessarily BRIEF Most of the business Us
yet is in an incipient condition, and details
would be uninteresting to our readers. We
therefore only notice such matters as are of
general Importance. Those whe desire the
proceedings in full should subscribe Tor the
Legislative Union and American"
The law creating the office Of County
Judge has been repealed, and the incumbents
will have to abdicate about the beginning of
the year of our LORD, 1858. Many of them
have discharged the duties of the Office TO
the advantage of their respective counties,
and worn the ermine with becoming grace
and dignity. 1t is certainly little hard that
they should be so suddenly called upon to
disrobe, lay down the insignia Of judicial au-
thority, and take rank again with common
people. But SO it is. Change is the order
of the day, and will continue to be; for the
weather-fowl upon the church-steeple, to in
dicate the direction Of the wind, is not more
easily moved than the politicians and dema-
gogues by the popular breath. There is one
consolation, however, for the retiring gentle
men, and of which not even the Legislature
can deprive them. They are clearly entitled
to the prefix of Honorable through life, and
to have il engraven upon their tombstones
when they shall have cast off this mortal
coil. Long may they all live to enjoy the
distinction.
Gentlemen from Nashville state that the
Quart Law will probably be repealed and the
License System re-established. In fact, so

array Of uuequiycal tes,imQuy in bis favor as
would establish his right to the COW and calf in

tain it is, that the plaintiff did produce a most
formidable array of testimony, So clear and
strong was tho evidence prolucel by The pIaiutiG,
that when he rested his case there was apparent
" little chance Of success for the defendant. In
addition to his own positive testimony, heprodu.
ced some eighteen other witnesses who identified
the cow as his Among those witnesses was Mr..
Thomas BOYLE, Of whom the plaintiff said he had
purchased the ecow in question: Also the wife Of
