OMMuNICATIONS
The ~Senatorshju.

Editors appeal. The people of Ten
nessee are looking forward to the cleo
ton of a United States Senator, by
the Legislature which convenes on
the first Monday in October, with
more interest, perhaps, than such an
event has eve before excited.
Itmay be safely assumed that the
people of no State in the Union were
more thoroughly eOnversant with the
political questions of the day, or took
amore eager interest in them than the
people of Tennessee, before the war.
But that is passed away. A great
majority of the intelligent citizens of
the State are no longer politicians.
Fol. eight years they have taken no
active part in politics. Old partisan
measures, party prejudices and pOIiti-
cal animOsities have in a great meas
ure died out.
1t is a mistake to call the late
election of Gov. Senter a partisan tri-
umph. On the contrary, the people
united and defeated the partisans. and
the people, not the partisans, ought TO
select the Senator. And the question
is, what considerations ought to in
huence their selection. However
much to be regretted, it is not to be
denied that the present condition of
the Government at Washington is
anomalous. Before the war ali politi-
clans at Washington stood on an equal
footing. The minds of men were d.
rected more to the measures which
were to be brought forward and dis
cussed than to the men or section
whence they originated, with the sim
gle exception ofthe slavery question.
At present, with regard to members of
Congress from the South, exactly the
reverse is the case. The man, his an

OUR neighbOrs of Tippah and Pom
t0toc counties propose to hold a meet
ing at New Albany, Miss, on the Dist
inst, TO take into consideration and
actively initiate a railroad from some
point ON the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad via Ripley to New Albany.
The enterprise deserves attention, and,
as suggested by " Merchants" COM

NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.
Editors Appeal: A meeting of the
citizens Of Tippah and P~ontotoc coun-
ties is to be held at New Albany,
Miss, ON Tuesday, 2lst inst, for the
purpose of putting the ball actively
in motion TO aid in building a rail-
road from the most favorable point on
the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road, via Ripley, Miss, to New Al
bany.
This project is well worthy the con
sideratiOn of Memphis merchants, as
the road would tap a remote and fine
section of country, and would prove
the means of bringing, when COM
pleted, ten or fifteen thousand bales of
cotton to Memphis, Ito say nothing Of
the return trade growing out of it,
that now nnds other markets. Mem
phis should warmly cherish any
movement of this kind.

cesor of Gen. Rawlins as Secretary of
War, and that an appointment viii soon
be made. The fact that Hon. j. ID. Cam
eron, Superintendent of the North Gen.
trail Railroad, accompanies the President,
added to the fact of Gen. Grants Intimacy
with his father, Senator Cameron, seems TO
be almost conclusive evidence TO the
Washington Cabinet-makers that the Su-
perintendent will receive the appoint
ment. So strong is this impression to-
night, that no other names in connection
with the War ONCE are mentioned.
The fire in the Dismal Swamp COM
menced near Suffolk, and has burned a
wide track clear throughto nearthe north
west locks, a distance of nearly twenty
miles, and is still going south. The ground,
which is lined with peat for at least eight
feet, is also being consumed, and the loss
in timber viii not fall far short of $780,
900. One gentleman came to Suffolk last
week and hired all the able-bodied ne
groes thar could be found, and took them
out TO his shingle swamp to save what he
had ready for market. He came in for q
thousand hands, and took out about four
hundred. Wild g~ame-bears, deer, and
Wild turkeys-are in abundance on the
outskirts oft swamp, and are devasta-
ting the crops.
The Times in an editorial on the
Cuban question, saws: eff the American
negotiations for the accession of Cuba
nave failed, it must be because the sum
rendered was deemed insufficient. The
Washington Government breads the OPP
position of those who feel confident that
Cuba must fall into the hands of the
United States, aud deem it folly to incur
any liability. The Spanish Government
has been admonished to put IN end to the
instruction or give up the island on any
terms. If these circumstances have
prompted the Madrid Government to play
It's last card for the Antilles, and stake all
on it, it can not be congratulated on its
resolution"
The tour of inspection recently
made BY the Secretary of the Navy, has
disclosed certain very important facts in
reference to the coast defences of the Uni
ted States. Secretary Robson is accom-
panied by Gen. Sherman, and the two sys-
tens of military and naval defence are
/ compared with each other. 1t is reported
to be the opinion Of both officers that forts
are inefficient in hsrbor defence; and that
as in the cases of New Orleans and Nieks-
burg, if q fleet could once pass a fort it
need not stop to batter it down. 1t is
even asserted that the immense works al
the NarrOws are but a small protection to
the city ofNew York.

THE cotton crop has safely passed the
dangers of army worm, boil worm, etc,
etc. II has been shortened at some points
by drouth; but the average yield is good,
and the total rather over than under three
million bales. The last point On which a
panic can be started is reached" Where
can hands be found to pick so much cot
ton? and il is undoubtedly true that
the yield Will be less abundant and less
valuable than it would be if every boil
were taken in haud the moment il opened.
Nevertheless, three millions of bales viii
be bagged; and that will pay the planters
as much as though it were four, or even
five millions.
The above from Mr.. GREELEY will
be as conclusive proof to the mind of
an experienced planter that he does
not know what he is talking about
as if it had been uttered by the weak
est and least informed writer for the
press. No planter knows yet what
crop he will extraordinarily what he
has made. A frost the first day OF
October will cut of all blooms after
the first Of September, so that no cot
ton will be made from them. How
then is he to estimate his crop with
any certainty? The question where
can hands be found to pick so much
cotton" is an absurdity.
The hands which made the cotton
usually pick it out. That is where
they are to be found-precisely where
they made it. But if they would
work better in picking than in max
ing the crop, then you would have a
crop proportionally larger. Or if you
can and and put In extra hands you
will save a great deal from being lost
on the ground and otherwise, and so
have a larger result. But the addi-
ton of such a force is an impossibility,
never contemplated and never OBJ
tanned before or since the war. What
the hands which made the crop will
pick out, in the time they can spare
from politics, is what we shall gather.
And that will probably never much
exceed two million average bales. AT
least the information we have from
planters leads to that conclusion at
the present moment as more likely to
reach the true mark than any higher
figure.

IN a late speech, Mr.. PENDLEToN
gave his reasons for opposing the fif-
taanth amendment as follows:

I oppose the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment because it is a material. radi-
cal change in our system of Government.
1t destroys the relation of the States to
the Federal Union, which the Constitu-
ton established, and degrades them.
1 object to its adoption because, by the
strongest implication, it confers upon
Congress a right reserved to the States to
exclude from the ballot persons of our
own white race, because of their nativity
and want of education or property, and
prohibits the exclusion only of another
race. If the Interpretation of Senator
Morton and Senator Howard be correct,
under Ibis amendment Congress and the
States may exclude Irishmen, Germans,
Catholics, Protestants, or the poor man
from the enjoyment Of suffrage, but not
the negro or Monaghan.

THE friends of Gov. GEARY, Of
Pennsylvania, are denying that he
was privy to the initiation of what is
called the Gettysburg "dance Of
DEATH" Notwithstanding he was made
Master of Ceremonies" and was
present at the Springs Hotel when the
ball card was arranged. The amount
of capital realized from that immense
failure seems to be nearly as small as
that of the sacrilegious infamy should
have been.

And, he adds, "much less can this
judgment of the Supreme Court legal
ly affect in any way the action of the
two Houses in the premises" The
only means of obtaining the great
boon of negro Legislators in Georgia
seems, therefore, to be that the people
should take it into their hands to elect
them and submit a new question to
the Legislature. But 1t is now settled
that a negro can hold any Office that
Georgia has to give.

ANOTHER steamboat explosion, Of
which we have the particulars to-day,
like every recurrence of these frequent
and often deplOrable disasters, calls to
mind the importance of introducing
low pressure steamers on our western
waters, Shall we continue a reckless
waste of life, to prevent which the
most stringent legislation of Congress
has proved so wholly inadequate9 Is
not the safety Of the tens of thousands
of passengers, who travel from point
to point on the Mississippi worth any
cost necessary to secure it? Low pres
sure boats, with compartments and
steam apparatus, on the plan invented
by DE HAVEN, is the great desidera-
tum, which very nearly covers the
whole ground, and besides being
an inconsiderable addition to
the cost of building boats, will
accomplish what the severest legisla-
ton has failed to do. The evil is in
the character of boats built, with a
high-pressure driving power, which
no means have yet been found ade-
quate to make safe for use. There is
no good reason why travel on the
Mississippi should be as dangerous to
life as travel on land, or even more
so. The means of prevention are Of
fered to us at a cheap rate, and they
ought to be used. Before new boats
IAN be built on the right principle, and
10 a sufficient extent, the old boats
will be worn and rotted out, and, by
the gradual process Of advantageous
change, individual interests will thus
escape injury. To be a pioneer in such
an improvement would be to be pub
lie be~nefactor, and it is not less true
that it would be a road TO pecuniary
success and individual wealth,

THE Supreme Court OF Georgia has
decided that a negro may hold the Of
flee of clerk Of a court OF record. This
may be a precedent for other decis-
ions, bat of course affects no a ) Of
any other officer, except in the partic-
ular instance before the court, and can
not put in or out of Office any n else
before investigation and decision had
as to each case individually. To the
question whether the precedent will
reach the cases OF negroes elected to
the Legislature, as well as that Of 9th
er civil offices, il is answered that the
only tribunal having jurisdiction as
to them is the Legislature itself,
which by the Constitution of the State
is the "judge Of the election returns
and qualification Ofits own members"
As the negroes were rejected
by the Georgia Legislature for the
reason of incompetency to hold office,
it is now apprehended that the ques-
ton of their admission will be again
agitated at the next session, on the
ground that, by the decision of the
Supreme Court the reason of the de-
cision of the Legislature excluding
them has failed. But the Legislature
Is not bOun1, because, within its
sphere and in the exercise of its Con-
stitutional fractions, the legislative
is as independent and supreme as the
Judicial department Of the Govern
ment, and as 70 it's own members the
Legislature has Jurisdiction exclusive
Of the authority Of the Supreme Court.
And neither n nor the other a 90

questions.
