A Good Move.

We are pleased to notice that the Ma
sonic fraternity have commenced build
ing q sidewalk, leading from the corner
of Rev. w. W. Morrison's residence to the
new Masonic Hall, just completed, on the
hill north-side of town. This is a move in
the right direction, and we hope that the
citizens will keep the "ball in notion"
until our streets are placed in such condi-
ton as will enable all pedestrians to pass
without miring in the mud. The ladies
can do more to start this work than we
can. A few tart articles from them on
the subject, would open the eyesand purse
of those who allow trading to occupy their
minds almost exclusively. You are the
chief sufferers-ltir them up-and then
our streets will be enlivened by your cheer
full countenances. You can then do your
own shopping, which will cause the coun-
t~er-jumpers to vie with each other in keep
ing everything neat and trim. Attend
Church and Sabbath School, in fact, it will
enable you to shed abroad many good in
fucnces which are made obscure by your
being kept in prison, as it were, for want
of something moro desirable to walk up
on than mud.

Mammoth Turnip.

Mammoth Turnip.
One day last week, u fellow-citizen,
Mr.. l. 7. Lenoir, presented us a turnip,
weighing FIVE and a quarter pounds. This
was grown on his farm with many others
of like proportions, perhaps, some leaving
this monster in the shade. They are,
in all probability, the largest ever raised
in East Tennessee, and until we hear of
some one that can beat this, we will put
old Monroe down for the largest turnips,
and Mr.. Lenoir as the farmer that knows
how to raise big un's.

Are Your Books and Papers SecureP
If they are not we urge upon you the
necessity of making them SO. The way to
do this, is to send to McCorkle & Brown,
Knoxville, Tenn, who are Agents Of Mil
ler's Patent Fire and Burglar Proof Safes.
These Safes have been in use for the past
twenty-five years, and never failed to pre-
serve their contents under the most unfa-
vorable circumstances, and often exposed
in some of the largest confagrations in the
country. Every merchant, business man
and farmer, should have one of these in
d~ispensable articles. The Importance of
a reliable Safe to every man having books,
papers and valuables to protect, can not
be over estimated. So look to your in
terest before it is too late, and send to
McCorkle & Brown and have them to sup
ply you with one of the above named Safes.

GnAST's OwN TESTIMONY. Tho Louis
vile Courier Journal calls attention to
the fact that about three years before
General Grant got 10 be President
Grant, he made q tour of survey through
the Souths with instrnctions to look OF
matters ass he might find them, and to
report accordingl TO the Governmental
Washington, Confidence was entertain
ed by che officers of the civil govern
ment that he would speak impartially,
exposing, il necessary. the .falsehoods of
the partisan agents and 4emissaries sent
to7the South or employed there to inoite
or to fabricate outrages for political pur-
poses, and he seemed, in the execution
OF his work, to prove himself worthy of
the trust reposed in bim!. Having finish
ed his tour, he reported that although
there. were Irregularities and misdeeds in
the South, there was general DISPOSE
tion throughout all that section to yield
obedience to legitimate authority and
to secure peace and harmony. Senator
Sumner in his place p oke Of General
Grants report as "a white.washing
affair" and General Butler denounced it
as not fit to be relied on. President
Grant knows whether General Grant
told the truth in his report or not. It
is obvious, however, that he is now Civ
ing his confidence to the representations
OF just such unprincipled emissaries as
he himself, by personal observation and
scrutiny three years ago, discovered to
DE guilty of falsehood and calumny. The
Southern agents of radicalism are lying
even moro against the Southern people
now than they were then. And yet
Grant is evidently very much under their
influence, believing them the more i'm
phcitly the more they falsify, and show
ing them that to utter slander against
the Southern Democracy is the surest
mode of winning his official favor. Any
man in the South who should now
make such report as Grant himself
made in 1866, would forfeit his favor
forever.

FILLIBUsTER PERILs. Journal of
Commerce is showing how many periis
the genus fllibuster incurs in helping to
work out the destiny of "free Cuba'--
provided he is an American citizen. For
example:
"They run risks of arrest and fine or
imprisonment by the United States Co.
vernment. They stand chance of being
intercepted in Cuban waters by Spanish
men-of-war. Upon landing they may
be betrayed by some one in their conf
dence-as one or two parties have already
been-ambuscaded by Spanish troops,
captured and shot down, or garroted.
Surviving these perils, they may be cut
off IN the attempt to reach the main
body of the insurgents. or may be killed
in the first engagement with ovcrpower-
ing numbers of the enemy, or may
perish by the swift, silent stroke of fever
or dysentery. At every step of their
way they carry their lives in their hands,
and if they lose them, or arc captured
only to be thrown into Spanish dun
geons, or transported to the horrors of
Fernando Po, our Government is shut
out from interference to save them or
revenge their death, as they have for
feited the status of American citizens.
This fact should be borne in mind by all
persons who choose to enlist on United
States soil for service in Cuba"

emigration sets slowly South of Mason's

Europeans, and is probably avoided as
too near the tropics fps the people of
central Europe.
The main reason is, however, the
South has not been so well advertised in
the Old World by foreign letter writer's
OF long residence in the Northern and
Western States. This spring there hns
been heavy emigration of Englishmep.
generally skilled workmen from the
workshops and mines, who have been
induced by the inflated wages here, or
forced by the depression in the labor
market there, to come hither for en-
ployment and homes. These are leaving
Liverpool ut the rate Of nearly 5000

one week g emigration from that port re-
Gently. So great has been this exodus
that some of the English journals have
expressed alarm. This class of emiRrants
stop in the manufacturing towns and
mining regions of the Atlantic and Middle
States, and the influence of their num-
bers may soon be felt in an oyerstocked
labor market and reduced wages.
Added to these facts is the incoming
of hordes of Cinnamon by the Golden
Gate, or back-door entrance to Uncle
Sans dominions. Reversing, rs the
Chinaman does, many of the laws of ci-
vilized society and rules of life, it is ap-
proprlnte for him to come in the contrary
way; but, come in where and how he
may, his coming is calculated greatly to
enlarge the complications which SO many
natlonalities and races settled in vast bo-
dies are destined eventually to produce
within our territory. So immense are
the numbers of foreigners arriving, that
eventually each nationality will be able
to assert itself distinctively; to keep up
its habits. language, manners, and Gus
toms, religion, etc., and thus isolate
itself from the others, as we'll ms the in
digenous hybrids. Such results may
occur; and if 80, the character of the
State and General Government may re-
quire to be greatly changed in form and
Legislative policy in order to harmonize
diverse and conflicting elements. 1t is
evident, at the rate this country is now
filling up. that the science of statesman
ship will have to be greatly enlarged be-
fore many years if all this broad domain
and oil these conflicting races and peo-
pies are to be embodied by one flag and

PACIFIC RAILRoADs.-The most calm.
sagacious and able of the Northern pa
pers now admit that the location of the
Northern Pacific Railroad WAS badly
chosen; that the work was badly done;
that the charges for passengers and
freight are exorbitant; and that there is
necessity for road to the Pacific by q
Southern route to meet the commercial
wants of the country. The influence of
the Southern Convention at its first ses-
zion in Memphis, and its second in New
Orleans, has been salutary. The New
York Times, in one of the last articles
written by MIR. Raymond, says:
s'The early construction of a Southern
Pacific railroad would seem to be al
ready assured. The road just opened
will not long be monopoly. Its con-
struction amid great difficulties, and the
Influence it is exerting upon the region
1t traverses, are circumstances that will
stimulate other projects. AS between
the Northern Pacific and the Southern
Pacific routes, there can be no compari-
eon-so manlfestly superior is the latter
IN Its natural resources and advantages,
and so much more direct and profitable
IN its connection with the sea-board.
Climatic considerations are equally in
favor of the Southern line as compared
with that via Omaha and Salt Lake. A
second road, therefore, is n question of
time only, and with its construction will
come profits and importance to tribu-
tary and connecting roads which the
Southern States, despite their difficult
ties, are now pushing forward
The New York Tribune, though GER
tainly not partial to anything Southern.
speaks in the same tone. We presume
that no one, not under the influence of
preJudices strong enough to take away
his senses, will deny that Southern Pa
cific railroad is both necessity and n
certainty, and that it will not only be
vastly more profitable, but contribute in
comparably moro to the welfare and
prosperity of the Union than any other
railroad to the great ocean.
Moreover, 10000, 900 of money are on
hand for the commencement and prose-
cution OF the work, and any further
amount can be had whenever needed.
Only the right of way has been asked
from Congress, and, although this right
has thus far been refused, the folly of re-
fusiDg it cannot safely be persisted in.
1t will not be persisted in for another
year. Even in the absence OF all other
causes, the extortionate charges of the
Northern company for passengers and
freight would force vigorous competition.
When the Southern road shall be at
work, charges for freight and passengers
between the two oceans will not be one
half what they now are. They will
scarcely be more than one-third.
