A TENNESSEE PLACE HUNTER.
The following memorial has been
to Conpress

The following memorial has been
presented to Congress:
To THE CONGRESS OF THE UNIrEB
STATES: Your memorialist a citizen
of the State of Tennessee, begs leave to
represent to your honorable body, that
in the year 1860 very partial enumera-
ton of the State was made by the Fed
eral authorities, in consequence Of the
disturbed condition of the country; that
many Of the counties in the State were
nearly wholly neglected (See the en-
closed statement of the Secretary of
State) In consideration Of this fact,
with others to be considered, the General
Assembly of Tennessee adopted Joint
resolution (see the enelosed) requesting
the Governor of the State of Tennessee
to issue his proclamation to the people
thereof to elect an additional Repre-
sentative. (See the enclosed cOpy)
The election was held on the 81 Of No.
Vember. A Representative was elected
by the legal voters of the State at large.
rialist was elected that Representative
by a large and signal vote, exceeding
that cast for President Tennessee now
Comes forward and asks for justice only,
no more than has been extended to seven
or eight of the States of the Union. Tens
nessee begs leave most respectfully to in
form your honorable body she has volo
UNFAIRLY placed herself in the front. She
has shown most conelusively by her ex-
ample that she deserves to occupy the
font rank in her advocacy for liberty and
human freedom She has voluntarily
fixed the status of liberty and human
freedom in the nation byher actor. She
has in advance demonstrated to the ma
ton the wisdom and necessity for the
fifteenth amendment to the constitution
Of the United States.
And is she, let me ask, at this late day
and hour, to be told that, while other
States of this glorious Union have had
additional Representatives given them,
that you, Tennessee, noble Tennessee,
that has covered your escutcheOn with
imperishable glory and renown, that has
demonstrated to the world your capacity
and wisdom, shall have no favor. Ten
nessee will never believe it. No, it can.
not be so. The sequel will show

A SNAKE STORY.
A Jersey Boy Swallows a Water SnakE
TWO feet Long.

A Jersey Boy Swallows q Water Snake
TWO feet Long.
Newspaper stories of snake
swallowing are common enough, but
can seldom be traced home to any
positive source. A case of this kind
recently occurred at Martinsyille,
Somerset county, concerning the
truth of which there can be no
doubt, its actual occurrence bee
ing vOuched for by perfectly relia-
BILE people in the vicinity. 1t ap-
pears that a son of Mr.. F. Burr, Of
that place, while coming from
school, stopped to take a drink of
water from a trough by the road
side. The lad was exceedingly
thirsty, and drank deeply. During
the time he experienced mOmen~
tary spasm of the throat, but
thought nothing of it. For several
days afterward no symptoms were
manifested of any irregularities in
the boys stomach, but at the end
of the week his appetite increased
enormously. There was developed
a craving for food which no abun-
dance could satisfy, and everything
eatable that came in his way he de-
voured ravenously. This singular
exhibition of gluttoHy continued
with increasing violence, until his
parents became alarmed and solic-
tied medical advice. The doctors
disagreed widely on the diagnosis
of the case, and finally came to the
conclusion that the boy must be
afflicted with tape worms. On Mon
day last, feeling choking sensation
in his throat, he ran his finger down,
when a water snake fully two feet
in length wound itself about it, and
was drawn forth, to the astonish-
ment and terror of the family, who
witnessedthe operation. The boy
tainted at the sight, and lay for
some time afterward in commissions.
He is, however, now rapidly recov-
ering. This story, though perhaps
not quite as sensational rs some
that are told, has the merit of being
true, and in that respect differs
somewhat from the majority of
snake-swallowing yarns.-Neioark
Courier, March 19.

The Atlanta Street railroad will soon be
in operation, as it is understood that the
stock has all been taken for the route
from the railroad to the adjoining village
of West End. The Macon and Western
railroad, it is said, are about moving their
machine shops from Macon to Atlanta.
Many other improvements might be men,
toned, but time would fail me to emu
merate a 1.-THE of them. Speaking of
railroads and railroad men, learn that
our old Tennessee friend Campbell Walls
lace, late Superintendent, is residing
quietly at Marietta, occasionally visiting
Selma, Alabama, in the interests
of the Selma and Meridian railroad.
of which he is the Receiver, his son.
Charlie Wallace chip of the
old block-being the superintendent,
and John M. Bridges, the Secretary and
Treasurer. John is a model railroad
man-active, attentive, competent and
faithful. and is, withal, "a fellow of in
finite jest and most excellent fancy"
"The old Major" as dthe boys'' all call
Wallace, recently obeyed call from the
Georgia Legislature to make report to
them, in connection with Mr.. Hubert
his successor as Superintendent of the
road, and Col. Mark A. Cooper, on the
protection of the interests" of the
Western and Atlantic railroad. 1t is
very able document, and only confirms
every one who has seen it, in their pre-
Viously formed opinion that its author is
one o. the very first railroad minds in this
country. His removal, on political
grounds, from his position at the head of |
the Estate road" is greatly to be lamented
by all who have the true interests Of the
State at heart. Sooner or later, this
will become painfully apparent to all |
who have occasion to travel over the
road, as well as to the taxpayers of |
Georgia. SoJoURNER.

spondent of a San Francisco paper

the smallpox is attributable to the pres

cats are there always, or has been, the
loathsome disease, and that, on the other

He proposes a general slaughter of the

Iacendiaries at Work.

The Cleveland Banner, referring to the
recent fire in that place, an account of
which we-have already published, says;
There is no doubt whatever but this fire
was the work Of an incendiary. No fire
had been in that part of the building in
which, the flames were first discovered, for
over a month. The building was fred on
the outer wall, and there is no circum-
stances pointing it out as probably an acct
dent. Some bad man or woman put the
torch to it and we hope they will be de-
tt eted and brought to justice.
