Square yesterday. They were Of goot
size and well iatted. Operations By
| pork dealers have bee o quite extensive
of late. The number driven, shipped
and slaughtered when the weather
becomes regularly cool, will be musu
! ally large this season. We understand
that there are more fat hogs in Eennes.
see thisNyear than have been at any
time before since the war, which is
I another indication of the abundant
and growing prosperity Of our State,
The jackson Tribune referring to
the removal of the Supreroe Court
from Brownsville to jackson, says
"Messrs. Brown and King have done
their whole duty, and deserve the
thanks of this community. We do
not know the Senator that voted nay,
but suppose that obstinacy Is his
chief characteristic. However, we
feel too good to quarrel at amy one,
and let Us hope that said vote was
east eonscientiously. Brownsville, as
she always does, made a gallant fight,
and we do not exult over her defeat.
Her cause was bad one, and could
not be maintained before fair minded
Legislators.
The Clarksville Chronicle of Satur-
day says: "Several gentlemen have
been suggested as proper persons to
represent our county in the approach
ing Constitutional Convention. Prom
inent among these are Gen. w. A.
Quarles, Col. Bailey, }. b. Kiliebrew
and ID. n. Kennedy. Out Oi this
number of gentlemen all of whom
are good men, and true, possessing
talent, patriotism and integrity-We
think our people can make a seIee- |
ton that will give general satisfaction,
and one, too, that viii reflect credit |
upon our county as our representa- |
tive in this vitalIy important assem- |
blage to frame laws for cur future
well-being as a State"
The Nashville Banner saws: 'The |
outrage perpetrated near Tiptonville, |
in this State, last Sunday, by a band /
OF masked outlaws from across the I
Kentucky line, was the most high !
handed atrocity that ever occurred
within our borders, and the murder
Of the six negroes by the mob who
took their victims from the officer Of
the law even ecIipsed it in It's crimi-
nal eBoFmity. We sincerely hope the
engaged in this ugly busi-
ness will be brought to summary
Justice. The authorities should spare
no pains nor expense nor legal force
10 vindicate the law In this case, if
here is any law in our land. Every
nan in this State, outside of the iaiis
md penitentiary, has q personal in
crest in the summary punishment Of
hese incarnate hends. The peace of
he State and the offended majesty of
he law demand prompt and decisive
lctiOn in the premises.
The Banner says: "The bill to
Imend the usury law of the State to
egulate the rate of legal interest on
money according to the natural laws
If supply and demand, to which we
nave made frequent reference in pre-
7iOus issues, is again under considera-
ion in the House of Representatives.
The action of that body on the ques-
ion will be looked forward to with no
ncOnsiderable interest by all who
axe an interest in the material pro-
,ress of the State, through legislative
encouragement to its industrial enter
lFiseS. A withdrawal of the restric-
ions on the exchange of money is
more urgently demanded at the pres
mt time, in view Of the powerful
Of the Government in the
enormous interest OF bonds, locking
Up the capital of the country in the
FAULTS of the banks. 1t must be plain
o the least ObServant member of the
that fixed rate of inter-
st has thus far worked most disas-
rOuSly, seriously retarding the COM
nercial growth of the STATE, and ham
,ering our commerce, while the capi-
al, which we need even more than
abOr and population, just at this mo-
nent, is seeking investment in rival
commercial communities.
The Jackson Tribune SAYS: at can
lot be denied that a party is being
Ormed in this State which will make
opposition to negro suffrage a cardinal
Iement i'm its political faith. his is
he inevitable drifting Qt events, and
We do not see how it is 10 be avoided.
We tiO not propose tO>argue whether
he formation of such a party be wise
II not, Sufficient unto the day is the
vii therGof' In East Tennessee ru-
nor attributes the leadership Of this
lew move TO Andrew johnson. III
hat end of the State Mr.. Johnson is
till power in the land,
nd many adherents will troop
home to his banner. Besides,
he fact is indisputable that in those
ounties where negroes are few and
az between the prejudice of color is
-reatest, and the hatred of races most
intense, and we should not be sur
,rised to see East Tennessee revolu-
ionized in the coming election. Our
dvices from Middle Tennessee tend
n the same direction. Such men as
IOhn c. Brown,:o ,:of Giles, ,:and John +.
House, of Montgomery, are active in
he building up Of this party. The
is formidable one, and
We happen to know there are other
geneies at work which will add daily
o its strength and increase its eff
iency. We are satisfied that in less
han ten days the bugles of the white
mans party will ring loud and clear
through the hills and valleys OF West
tennessee.
