HOMICIDE IN MAURY COUNTY On
Tuesday last, near Williamsport, in this
county, WILLIAM BLACKBURN was shot,
and instantly killed by s. J. CHoATE. The
facts, as we learn them, are a. follows: AM
AzGAH You've, Deputy Sheriff Of the coun-
ty, had placed in his hands a capids for the
arrest Of BLACKBURN, who was charged
with murder. Mr.. IOUNG was informed
that BLACKBURN had sworn that no officer
should take him. As matter Of precaution
therefore, he had Mr.. CHoATE specially
deputised to accompany and assist him in
making the arrest. IL turned out that this
precaution was well taken, as BLACKBURN
did resist the arrest and was attempting to
shoot the Sheriff, when he himself was shot
by Mr.. CHOATE.-Maufy Herald

A FORTNIGHT ago reference was made in
this paper to the apathy which seemed to
prevail among the Conservatives in regard to
the Legislative elections. 1t was urged in
strong terms, that they should nominate re-
liable candidates, qualify voters under the
franchise law, and poll every vote. 1t has
not been done, and the consequence is that
tire returns from various counties show the
election of the Radical. candidates. We can
make allowance for the repugnance which
the people feel to the franchise law, but is it
wise for those who are being beaten to the
earth under the blows of tyranny to lie SUI
pine and suffer themselves to be bound hand
and foot? Does it become men who have
been free, and cherish the hope to be so
again? We cannot so see it. There are not
five counties in the State in which, if the
proper efforts were made, true Conservatives
could not be returned to the Legislature. 1t
has been done twice in Davidson county
within month. 1t could have been done in
Sumner Smith, Bedford, Hamilton and
Carter. II, however, the people of these
counties, and those yet to elect on the 18th
of this month, see fit to let the elections 90
by default, and commit the destiny of the
State to Radical management, so be it. The
view that matters have become so bad, that
it is best to permit them to go on from bad
to worse, may be wise one 1t NAV be the
true policy 70 allow the farce of the fran
ohise law to be fully exhibited. In its very
shamelessness and utter mockery of re-
publicanism, it may be that its true correc.
tive is to be found. We have, however, at
tempted to read the signs and faithfully in
dictate them, and must say that in the defeat
Of BALE PEYToN, and other sound and
true men, who have consented TO stand be-
fore the people as candidates, and the cleo
ton Of such men as are being permitted to
defeat them, we see nothing but evil.

present moment fifteen hundred millions of
dollars have been the investments Of the
American people in railroads, sum which
is equal TO nerly four times the value Of the
entire property of the State of Tennessee
real, personal and mixed. The Southern
States have expended nearly three hundred
millions, which is, by the way, only equal TO
a single cotton crop.
What the earnings of all these roads in
passengers, freight and mail carriage may
be we are uniformed, but the aggregate
upon eighteen of the chief roads at the
North was in 1865 about $100.0O0,000. The
New York roads earned gross $4,000 per

amount the total earnings of the country
would be S135,000,00O. 1t more probably
