The Association organized by electing

ment among our people. The body was

twelve hundred we now count almost
thirteen hundred and fifty. showing a gain
in members Of one hundred and fifty.

west by an air line from Johnson's Depot,
through the Holston valley to Rogersyille,
Sycamore, Jacksboro, Huntsville. James
town and Livingston. meeting the Ten
nessee and Pacific road now in process of
construction at Carthage, Tennessee. This
would be the shortest aad cheapest route,
and if the citizens most interested will
take hold of the matter, they can have it.
IF this road was completed, and we trust it
will be, it will make johnson county one of
the most desirable places in the world to
live in. The road will form an essential
link in the great chain that is destined to
extend from ocean to ocean, along the
shortest and most favorable route. The
country through which it viii run is rich
enough in agricultural and mineral wealth
to sustain it.
There is a large amount of land for sale
in johnson county, and the attention OF
immigrants should be called to it.

had just returned from New York, where
he had contracted for sufficient amount Of

REPLDIATION.

Should the present Legislature comply

question of population will undoubtedly
com up before it, and a strong effort will
be made by certain parties, to avoid pay

Before we enter upon "a course Of action,

\ meeting Of colored men was held in
Nashville. ON Monday evening, to take IN
to consideration the project of an exodus
Of the cOlorcd men from Nashville to the
+ West. 4 Mr.. Carter. moved that a COM
mite Of nine be appointed to prepare for
Il convention Of the colorcd people Of Ten
nes,ac, to consider the propricty of emil
grating to thc West. After considerable
disorder, the chairman put the motion,
when some one arose and ruled the chair
out Of order. but the question was finally
put, when the ayes and noes we're 50 crow
dcd together that it was impossible to de-
eide, and the motion was finally lost by
raising Of the hands.
Randall Brown then said Il trust that
the honorable colored men here will
not coud uct themselves in such a manner
as to cause the reporters to say we had a
pow wow. | did not wish to say 50 much
now. but ] am driven to the brink my
heart bIecds for my people. There are
many of us here who have a house and
home. but how many Of MS are there who
have no ro0f-trcc to cover them that they
call their own. We have now some IF
teen hundred colored men IN this vicinity,
and God alone knows how they are sup
ported now, and how they are to exist in
the future. Let US 60 TO some place where
we can exercise our brain and muscle. and

Of wood and drawers Of water? Let us
take a place in society. / have a house
and home, it is true, but | do not value it
as one cent where the welfare of my color

are ~crowdiug to the West, and in a short
time it Will all be filed up, and then whore
in the name of God are you goE'
Several others had their say pro and
con, when Randall Brown moved that a
meeting be called next Monday night to
consider the ~propriety Of pro-empting land
in the Vest which was carried almost
unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.
