THE NEXT SHERIFF OF SHELBY
COUNTY.

AS the plot thickens it becomes quite
an interesting question as to who will
FIJI the office of Sheriff of this county
for the next two years. The Radicals
claim to have elected their candidate,
but the sequel shows different state OF
facts. We have never constituted our
selves judge or jury in the matter, al
though. if we were disposed, could be
made an excellent witness to prove a
coodly portion of fraud committed on
the day of election by the opposition
party. 1t is, however, position to
which we do not aspire, and will leave
the case in the hands of the proper tri-
bunal for trial. We are at a loss to
know how the Radicals can consistently
object to General NJ j. Wright the;Dem-
ocratic candidate, receiving the office,
when a marvelously proper man has
decided to give him the certificate
of election. Our Registrar is an old
citizen of Shelby county, and has
always commanded the esteem AID re-
spect of his neighbors In fact, he has ina
public manner been Endorsed and'recom-
mended BY this very Radical contestant
for the Sherifalty, who through and by
his influence Capt. Shock was appointed
Registrar of the county. There is not a
doubt but what the gentlemanly Regis
trar is at least honest in his conylcti' as
OF duty. and the character of his sponsors
are such as to leave no doubt in the pre-
misses. We have not before had 1t in our
power to approve of the excellent choice
of Registrar for this county made
by the Radicals of the city, but as the
time is propitious, we make haste now
TO do so. By the act of justice displayed
in giving General Wright his certificate
of election, Captain Shock has fully sus-
tanned an official reputation for honesty
and fairness. In this matter the good
people of Shelby county will uphold
their Registrar, and commend him for
thus doing what his position and oath as
an officer demand shall be done. Curry
could only claim the position by fraud
the most stupendous and outrageous
that was ever before perpetrated on
free community. He knew as much
himself and will scarcely deny it, When
charged with these frauds, some days
after the election, one Of the Radical set
remarked TO us that in politics, as in
war, everything was fair If that be the
rule then the Radical candidate and his
friends should not grieve at losing the
certificate, as it is merely the fate of
war

To the Editor of the Ledger:
SIR-In your issue of yesterday ap
peared paragraph, as follows: Mr..
Mitchell has transferred the controlling
interest in the Mississippi River railroad
to the Southern Railroad Association,
which obligates itself to build the road
from Memphis to Covington in two years,
and to complete the whole line in four
years"
II is not true that the Mississippi River
railroad has been transferred TO any
parties whatever. Our company have
made contract with Eastern capitalists
for building the entire line of their road,
but the organization of our company re-
mains unchanged.
We are gratifed in being able 10 state
that we have strong ground for believing
we can get our road opened to Coving-
ton this year, and throughout its entire
length in much less than four years :;
thus giving to Memphis the most impor-
tant thoroughfare she has ever had, and
opening up to the counties north of us a
career of greater prosperity than their
people have ever dreamedo
Respectfully, A. S. MITCHELL,
President. .
