The stockholders of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company held called meeting in Memphis Oh the
18th, for the purpose Of devisng means to eErieae
the road from its present embarTassments. The
President Of the Company read an interesting re-
port, setting forth the true condition of affairs, and
the necessity Of speedy and determined action to
prevent the road falling into the hands Of its credi
tors, thereby causing to the stockholders complete
and final loss Of their stock. Resolutions were
adopted calling upon all stockholders to come up
and rescue the road from the hands into which it
must soon and inevitably fall unless the money can
be raised to free it from pressing liabilities.
The Supreme Court is now in session at KnOzyill,
the Hon. ARCHIBALD WRIGHT occupying place
upon the bench as one of the Judges Of whom the
Citizen says: Judge WRIGHT eight or ten years
since member of the Tennessee Legislature as
the Representative Of Giles county. Besides that
we are not aware that he has occupied any other
official station. he is about fifty years Of age, of
tall and stalwart form, having manner that gives
assurance of the utmost honesty Of purpose in all

tatiOn lawyer is second to that Of none in the
State and we have no doubt but that he is welcomed
to the Bench BY his associates with cordially
which will make his present position in the highest
degree agreeable, far any pleasure incident to
the Office may depend upon them. And we are,
moreover, confident that the members Of the Bar Of
the State, VhOss votes he received with almost entire
uuanimity, will find him to be learned and upright
