This gentleman has been honored
by the citizens Of the twenty-fourth
Senatorial district with the nOinina-
ton for Senator. He was opposed by
a few strong men like MILTON
BROWN, Of Madison, but the people
of Lauderdale, Of Haywood and Of
his own county Of Upton We're a unit
upon him. AS they nominated, 50
they viii elect him. No man in the
State has a clearer or more ~conserva-
tive record. AT his home, the esti-
mate of him is as high as has ever
been maintained by any man in Tip
ton. He has been sheriff of that
county since 1861, and was likely to
be 10 the end Of his days did the peo-
Ole not decide for him a more ex-
tended field Of operations. And they
have selected him for the Senate and
there, we predict, he will be found
when the Legislature meets. We
have no fears that the opposition can
prevent his election. He is a con-
servative man, enjoys the good viii Of
the people Of his district and is deter
mined upon serving them, as ne has
always done those of his county, faith
fully and well. We bespeak for him
the earnest efforts of the press and
people of Madison county. In elect
ing Mr.. SLAUGHTER they secure the
services Of a capable and energetic
representative. We predict that he
VIII be elected,

A commendatOry movement has for
some time been on the taps looking
TO the introduction into the South of
immigrants, in large numbers.
Among Others engaged in it, we find
H. G.. Walbridge, of New York; w.
H Trenholm, Of South Carolina; j. j..
Kinds, of Arkansas; W. H. Gleason,
Florida, and H. T. Blow, of Missouri.
These gentlemen have prepared a
memorial to Congress which viii be
laid before that body at its next
session by Senator Mcdonald, of
Arkansas. 1t will embrace a propo-
sition to establish a steamship line be-
tween Norfolk, Va, and the ports of
the Mediterranean, including ron.
nections with the country opened up
to the world by the completion of the
Suez Canal. The Senator viii present
a bill incorporating the steamship
company, providing that it shall be
supported by subsidies from the
Southern States, and that the Post
master General shall contract with
them for carrying the European
mail, at the rate of $4,000 per week.
The movement will be supported by
almost all the Southern Congressman.

EnR ELoATER.


1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that we of Shelby, in the matter OF
selecting a hoater, will defer to Upton
county. At least this has been n
practice for some years. Anticipating
such a determination, the people OF
Fayette and Upton, at a Convention
held in Covington, on Wednesday last,
nominated Mr.. HENRY R.SHERRoD,a
Magistrate of Fayette, and son OF the
old and honored Squire SHERRoD, OF
Upton, one among the first settlers OF
the county. He is, we are assured by
MI. P. J. SMITH, one of the leading
lawyers of Upton, a thorough Con-
sentative, a gentleman enjoying the
confidence of the people, intelligent
as to their wants, a friend of enfran-
ehisement, opposedto heavy taxation,
disposed to an immediate reduction OF
taxation and determined upon the
good of the whole peopleof Tennessee.
AS such he is presented to the Con-
vention that meets here next Thurs
day, as such, we hope he will have the
suffrages and countenanee of that

The Tennessee Agricultural and
Mechanical Association of Nashville
has issued a handsomely printed
pamphlet contafng many items Of
interest to farmers, among them a
list of premiums, amounting to $1O,-
600. to be distributed at the close of
the next fair. From it we CLEAN much
that may prove of benefit to
the members of our agTf-
cultural society when they come to
make up their list and to prepare for
their annual fair; also not few ex-
ampIes worthy to be followed By our
merchants. For instance we notice
that premiums are offered-for essays
on a variety of subjects interesting to
farmers and stock r~aisers, independent
of a long list embracing sums Of
money, articles of jewelry or silver
ware to the taste of the successful
competitors. The cotton factors of
Nashville offer a premium of silver
service worth 500 for the best three
bales of cotton; also for the finest
single bale of cotton a silver service
valued at S75; the millers offer hand
some premiums for the best wheat;
RHEA, SMITH & Co., for the besteOrn;
HART & HENsLEY 800 for the best
fatted hog; and the dry goods mer-
chants a number of handsome prizes
for the best jeans, Inseys and sheet
ings. Much of interest and anxiety
is exhibited by the people of Nash
vile in the success of this fair, which
will take place in October. All classes,
as they should be, are interested in 1t
and all contribute literally; an ex-
ample that we hope will not be lost
upon our merchants, business men
and citizens generally, when we
come to solicit their aid in
furtherance of the grand OBJ
objects of the Shelby Society recently
organized under very hattering aus
pices. When the gentlemen charged
with the direction of its affairs come
to present their claims for help we
have a hope that it will be given
cheerfuIly, and in such shapes and
ways as to further to the best
advantage its aims and ends. In
doing so our people will benefit
themselves in many ways and benefit
Memphis. They Will not only excite
a proper emulation among the farm
ers, but among people abroad an in
terest that will call thousands to our
city who otherwise might forever re-
main comparative strangers to Us.
We are all to be benefited by the
fairs of our Agricultural Society,
and we must all of US help to make
them successes beyond any cavil or
question. Prepare to give what you
can.

MEMPHIS AND SELMA RAIL,
ROAD.

ALC1A1
The people of LOwndes county, Miss,
are discussing the propriety of voting
$50, 900 in aid of the Memphis and
Selma Railroad. A correspondent,
" Catahpa," in the West Point Herald,
makes a very pointed argument
against it, by showing that the values
of the county have been reduced since
1860, on a currency basis, fully $780,
OOO, 600, and therefore the people are
in no condition to assume the burden
of a $4,000 debt, calling for an an
nual interest of $4,000. Catahpa"
makes a strong case; n that at first
blush looks unanswerable. But by
the light of facts, the result of railroad
experiences in other quarters, it is not
really so. We presume that "Catah-
pa" desires to reach something like
the former prosperity of LOwndes, and
that he is willing to avail himself of
the shortest possible way to it. He
will not object to the outlay of $500 0
and the payment of eight per cent in
terest annually, if he can be satisfied
that such expenditure will add ten
fold to the existing property of the
county, and in less than ten years
make it what it was when the cruel
war" commenced. We think we can
make this plain to him-at least infer
entially. We viii take the State Of
Missouri for example. 1t was raided
over during the war, and was haunted
by bands of bold bad men after the
war. All public work was more or
less retarded. Railroads were torn
up and their construction prevented.
Progress was impossible. Political
edly visible. The hand of neighbOr
was raised against neighbOr, and as
was the case with East Tennesseeans,
the men who "wOre the gray" feared
to return to their one happy homes.
Strife, bitterness and chickering's were
the order of the day after the close Of
an unprecedented struggle, much of
which fell with peculiar severity upon
Missouri; and yet we find the follow
ing astonishing results from railroads
results that exhibit an amazingly
reeuperative force in these highways,
and that must prove to "Catahpa"
the necessity for the Memphis and
Selma route, and for the subscription
Of LOwndes county. Here is the pro-
gress and growth of the railroad cOun-
ties of Missouri:

BOUGHNER IS REGITRAR.
A brief dispateh from Col. GEoRaI

a brief dispatch from Col. GEORGE
CAN'T informs US that he and Col.
HEIsKELL have been successful in
their application to the Supreme
Court for a ~supercedeas, reversing the
late decision of Chancellor SMITH.
The appellate Court says the power to
appoint carries with it the power to
remove in all cases where there is no
fixed tenure of Office. BoUGHNER IS,
therefore, Registrar of Shelby county,
He s~upereedes WILLIAMS, and DAVIS
and the County Court Clerk. The de
cision is conclusive upon this point.
Shelby is saved. Indeed the whole
State Is saved; for had the decision OF
Chancellor SMITH (no doubt made in
good hith) become the recognized
law upon the tenure of Office of Reg
istrars the Governors power to help
himself and his people would have
been n~eutralized and he been rendered
helpless. The Supreme Court has
come TO our assistance promptly.
For so much the people are indebted
to it. This last viii enforce its
former decision whereby the people
are declared entitled to enfranchise-
ment once granted or conferred. 1t
strengthens the claims of thousands
Of intelligent voters, who unless they
had such q man as BoUGHNER to deal
with, would never have taken the
trouble to, apply for what is theirs by
right. We hope Mr.. BoUGHNER will
not lose any time, but that so soon as
he is put in possession of the books
stamps and blanks of his Office he will
commence work. He has a great deal
to do and but little time to do it in.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Nashville
Union and american reports Stokes
as having threatened that if things
did not go better, he would have
Tennessee remanded back to the
"pOsition of a territory under the
" rule of a military Governor" That's
all fudge. The day has passed when
that was possible. Neither STOKES
nor his master GRANT can so much as
take a step in that direction. Threats
like this are the last resort of a de-
feated bully. STOKES is beaten. He
feels it in his bones and ought to re-
tire. He don't stand the ghost of a
chance outside of East Tennessee.

eial report, HowEs and MACY, bank
ers, of Wall street, New York, have
been arrested for making loans above

them right. There is no use Of having

be abolished, and that men should be
as free to sell their money to the high
est bidder as they are to sell their
corn. cotton or wheat.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER RAIL

hOADs
We regard with pleasure the inter-
est taken in this enterprise in other
sections of the country. Cairo and
Paducah have long cOntended fer the
terminus, and with such an array Of
facts and figures in favor of either
that it would be difficult for a novice
in railroad matters to decide which
presented the greatest advantages,
which was the better of the two points.
We lean to Cairo: not because our
friend OBERLY is Mayor Of that thri-
wing city, nor because he edits a live
ly and admirably written daily there
though such facts weigh heavily
with us-but that it is a railroad cen
ter, a sort of halting place for the iron
horse; a point where that eyer-moving
{" critter" is compelled to stop and
take note of time. But it is-nOt what
Cairo or Paducah have said Of the
River Railroad that we desire to pre-
sent to our readers to-day, but what
our st. Louis friends think OF it. We
find il. the Repu5licGH Of that city, of
Wednesday last, this favorable view
Of It. That paper says: "The St.
Louis and Cairo Railroad, down
{" through the river counties on the
"a Illinois side, offers a line only
" 143 miles from st. Louis TO Cairo.
"With this line and the Mississippi
/" River Railroad, st. Louis viii be
Z" brought within 293 miles of Men,
" phis, which will be 30 miles shorter
Ethan any present railroad connection
" with Memphis; and be s. much
" nearer to Vicksburg, Jackson, New
{" Orleans aEid other points south of
Memphis. Sc vast 2 saving in dis
"tance as this, Wili defy COMPETE
"tiOn by present lines. aaG st
"Louis, by making an early alliance
with this new Mississippi River
Road, has it in her power TO secure
{" the control Of what will ultimately
"be the great trunk line of north and
&" south travel in the Mississippi val
d" ley. The country penetrated by the
" Mississippi River Railroad IS heal
" thy, populoqs and highly Improved,
:" and furnishes most of the means for
" the road now proposed te be built.
=" Railroad builders and railroad ip,
I" vesters would do well to look into
4" these movements, hitherto so little
" known, but so highly important to
st. Louis interests"

nine counties without railroads have,
in seven years, o. a little less than
half the time, Increased only 81, 34S.-
