The Truth.

There are In Tennessee few malignant
malcontents, who will never willingly con.
sent to colored suffrage, and who still think
Il possible TO deprive the colored man Of
bis rights. There are few others who are
silly enough to hope for o revival Of the
"Lost Cause" and these classes constitute
the only nucleus aruund which the Demo-
cratic party can ever be rallied. Nothing
could suit these men better than the cleo.
zion OF Stokes, BECAUSE that event would
for an indefinite period delay the reign Of
harmony and peace, and prevent the final
triumph In Tennessee of National Republi-
can principles. Let II be understood that
the triumph Of Gov. Senter is the triumph
of the Republican party, and the elimina-
ton Of the Democratic faction from our
State politics Press and Times.

ANOTHER STREET RAILWAY.

When the project of street railway from
Rock Island to Moline was first preached, it
was viewed with exceeding dstrust by many
of those who were expected to put their cash
into the enterprise. Continual discussion,
however, and some little examination into
it's feasibility demonstrated that there was
an eminent prospect that u fair per cent
might be earned for any reasonable sum so
invested. Some of our most spirited citi
zons took hold Of the matter, and the result
is, that the road was built in short order, and
is now one of the best paying investments
of the kind anywhere in the country. This
good fortune has a selutary bearing on an
enterprise Of not less importance. We refer
to the railway to Camden.
The benefits to be reaped from such O
connection with the little metropolis Of Rock
River, are 20 apparent that argument is en-
tirely needless. Any school boy can com
prcheud them. Besides meeting great
want of the public, the railway will have an
effect to largely increase the trade Of oul
city. Scores Of persons, who now do then
| purchasing at Camden, will leave their teams
| there, and come TO Rock Island on the cars.
And this new line will be the final link to
! consolidate Moline, Rock Island and Cam
den into one city, which will out number
Davenport in population, and excel it in
capital, manufactures and prosperity. We
do not see how any one can possibly raise
an objection to the project, and we think
our citizens will unanimously endorse and
encourage it, BY so doing, our best inter
ests will be fostered
This morning, August it'll, under thu gu
pervision of Engineer G. II. Stoddard Q
| preliminary survey Of the line was commenc
ed. The route will be surveyed from Mar
ket Square down Eagle to Toledo street
thence west to Otter street, thence south
along Otter to the city limits, and theme,
continuing on the same line southwark, unit
intersecting the graded road near Sears
Mills, and thence crossing the main bridge
to Camden. The work Of surveying will oc
cupy three Or four days. The cars will BE-
drawn by q dummy engine.
This is one OF the leading events of the
year, and will form an epoch in the history
of the city of Rock Island. That the scheme
will meet with universal favor, and be push
en- to a successful termination, there is not
the slightest reason to doubt

NEW HARDWARE FIRM.

1t would seem, during the present lax
condition Of trade. that scarcely energy
enough remained in business circles to in
| augurate novelty in any line, or move
ia any direction. This is not the case, how
ever. Quite an important arrangement has
just been set on foot, of equal interest to
our merchants, and the public generally
We refer to the approaching consolidation Of
the hard ware store of II. A. Smyth and the
saddlery establishment of Benedict 4 Nc
Council. The style of the new firm will be
Benedict, Smyth, & Mcconnell. Mr.. Bene.
dict has been engaged in mercantile pursuits
in Rock Island for the past twenty years
Mr.. Mcdonnell has been with him for the
last five years. Mr.. Smyth has done bust.
ness here for thirteen years, the last five OF
which have been passed at his present oca.
ton. All are well and favorably known to
our citizens, and to the farmers of the coun.
try tributary to Rock Island We doubt
If there are any in our midst who enjoy bet.
ter regulations for fair dealing and strict
business integrity.
With the view Of creating large and
FIRST class hardware house, the present stand
of Benedict & Mcconnell will be occupied
At the rear hos been erected an addition OF
twenty-five feet, making the store room one
hundred feet in depth. All the additional
shelving and counters will be introduced,
while the second story viii be filed with oil
goods not necessary for display below. Back
Of the main building they will next spring
erect brick iron house fifty feet deep, by
sixteen in height. In the mean time, the
present iron house of Smyths store will be
used. The stock of the establishment will
be largely increased, and to this end Mr..
Smyth will shortly leave for the east on a
purchasing tour. The combination will be
effected within the next two or three weeks.
In addition to hardware, the new firm will
always keep on hand complete stock of
ssdders', shoemaker, and coachmakers'
materials, fancy feathers, trimmings. &C.,
and by Offering inducements, will labor TO
build up jobhing trade.
The new establishment will no doubt
achieve greater success than even its indi.
vidual members have done heretofore, and
thst it will do so is the wish OF q host Of
friends,
