ONE Simon, whose surname is
Cameron, stated in his speech when
Revels was welcomed to a place in
the Senate, that when Jefferson Davis
withdrew from that body in 1861, he
(Cameron,) said to Davis that " when
next filled his seat would be occupied
by a negro" On the other hand, the
Newark Advertiser says that Davis,
when going out of the Senate cham
Der, said to Cameron that his Davis
successor would be a negro" Who
speaks truthfully, Cameron or the
Advertiser? Was Davis or Cameron
the prophet? Not long after Mr.. Davis
left the Senate chamber, when on his
way home, he made a speech at
Chattanooga in which he uttered very
nearly the same predictions. Great
excitement was caused by his declara-
tons of opinion, and because he as
cribed such insane purposes to
AbOlitionism. A unionist in the
crowd denied some statement of Mr.
Davis and an East Tennessee sheriff,
who afterward became a Brigadier-
General, broke a bottle over the
Radicals head-this was the first
blood" spilled in the War-the scene
of the conflict was the bar room of the
CrutchfeId house, and Lookout Noun
tain is a proper monument to lift its
summit above the clouds and desig-
nate the spot where the greatest
events Of the greatest revolution OF
ancient or modern times were en-
acted. Cameron has spoken falsely.

COLONEL TREZEvANT's efforts for a
railroad subscription in Haywood
county have been most successful.
Old Haywood has well responded to
his appeals. On Saturday last,
she voted 100000 for the railroad to
her with SOmerviIle and Holly
Springs on the south, and with Union
City and Cairo on the north. As SOM
erville has long been Disguised with
being the tail end of a one-horse line,
it is probable her citizens will seize
this as her only chance for S great
through line; and if General Sneed,
Colonel Mosly and Colonel Trezevant
will take hold of Fayette, many of
her citizens feel assured that that
wealthy and populOus county will fol-
low the lead of Haywood for at least
$500, 600. Hurry up the good work.
We wish to hail the day when the
Southwest will be cheered with lines
Of railroad as in Ohio. No country
ever yet suffered from them. The
more we have, the more population
and wealth they develop.

THE defense now made vigorously
for the Radical Congressional bride
receivers, by the press of their party,
is that the practice Is common. What
everybody does must be right, is their
chief argument. 1t may be true just
now, that dishonorable practices
abound in the atmosphere of Wash
ington. 1t is to be expected, under
the regime which now prevails there,
but such was not always the case with
American officials. We have known
better days and purer statesmen than
we have since the higher-law days set
in. The great Federalist, Fisher Ames,
would have died in obscurity rather
than have elected himself to the Sen
ate of the United States by his
own bayonets, and by receptions
practiced on an ignorant horde
of negroes, and then, like his name
sake, Gen. Ames, taken the Office on
a certificate of election made out by
himself! Even Benedict Arnold, in
the purer days of the Republic in
which he lived, would have scorned
to advertise himself for sale, and ask
in the public newspapers for "parties
of means" to come forward and buy
him in the sale of a cadetship. Aaron
Burr was once charged with treason,
but his great soul would have spurned
from its presence three-fourths of the
members of the present corrupt Con-
gress. And JEFF Davis, Jake Thomp-
son, Bedford Forrest, Admiral
Semmes, Luke Blackburn and other
/" rebels" most odious in the North,
would abhor the very thought Of
such a contact. In defence of the
Radical party. it has now be-
come necessary to introduce into
Congress a bill to suppress the prac-
tice of taking brides. The shame Of
the thing endangers the seats of the
members. In former days we had no
such law, because members of Con-
gress selected by the then virtuous
people were too honest to require its
enactment. When the Supreme Court
is fully recognized, it may be neces-
sary to extend the operation of the
law a step further, to the successors of
John Marshall!

SUMMERS S~ing-Sing protege, South
Carolina Whittemofe, has published
at Charleston a letter in which he JUS
titles his sale Of the cadetship, and an
nounees himself q candidate for re-
election. Hesays his resignation was
a hasty and unnecessary step. The
proof before the committee of investi-
CATION was that he did take a bride.
The only thing going to show it was
"no dishonest action" to do go was
the assertion that the bride was used
for the political purposes of the Radi-
cal party. According to the following
asseverations, taken from White
more's letter, it is perfectly honest, in
the opinion of "very a large number of
members of the House" to take a little
bride money now and then, if it is
only applied to party purposes, such
as electing oneself to Congress. He
says:
l do not hesitate to say that both
the n6pUDlcanS q democrats re-
gard the whole transaction as uBpar-
alleled. Gen. Logan said the day afer
my resignation that the reason ny
he did not reports resolution of CEN
sure instead of expulsion was because
he did not believe 1t was my inten-
ton to do a wrong, and he did hope
| would be returned to Congress, and
that he would be the first man to well
come my return. Such is the change
already, which, of course, is balm 70
the wounds inflicted. The hone ex-
pressed tby a very large number of
members Of the House that | may he
returned to Congress, is evidence that.
while they were pressed into a seem,
ing acquiescence in this hasty action of
a few hOtspurs, they are still openly
friendly, and they express every con-
idence in my honesty and integrity
in this whole matter. l shall AGAIN
appeal to my constituents, whose con
fdence / have never violated. IsbalI
ask them to give me their votes, and
send me back to my place made va
cant by nc dishonest action.

WE learn that General Chas. Clarke,
of Mississippi, and Colonel Irrelevant,
of our city, had a long conference yes
terday, relative to a railroad from
Memphis to Vicksburg, down the IA
nous Sunfower country; ana that a
bill will soon be introduced into the
Legislature of Mississippi for the pur-
pose of building this important work.
Our citizens r gradually being cen
WINGED that their great interests lie in
developing the country southwest OF
them; and this railroad, starting out
from Memphis, and passing down the
finest cotton belt in all the South, will
connect Memphis with a region whose
products all now go to New Orleans,
but whose citizens all wish to trade
with us. We shall expect to hear
from them again, and will keep our
readers advised.

THE potency of Boards Of Trade is
illustrated in ends accomplished by
that of Norfolk. Not long ago the
Board of Trade of Norfolk as ked the
cooperation of other like institutions
in the West and South, for the pur-
pose Of inducing Congress to substitute
a steamship line, to run between Nor
folk and the cities of the Mediterra-
mean. Colonel John T. Trezevant,
acting for the Chamber Of Commerce
of this city, prepared an admirable
memorial on the subject, which, uni
verSally commended, has doubtless
wrought no little influence with law
givers at Washington. We are in
formed that the bill pending in the
House of Representatives will surely
be enacted. 1t grants liberal fran
chises to the Mediterranean and ORR
entail Steamship Company, and pro-
vides for a mail, passenger and freight
steamer once every three weeks from
Norfolk to Cadiz, Marseilles, Genoa
and Trieste, thus giving the middle
and "border States" direct communi-
cation with Southern France, Italy
and Austria. In these facts not only
is the value ofassociated effort among
committees recognized but the scheme
long ago expounded by Joseph Bar
biere and R. e. Payne is approved.
Happily, too, the steamships will be
built without the Intervention of
Southern capitalists; and all that is
asked is the perfection OF Southern
railway systems that converge at Nor
folk, or in cities tributary to the pro-
gress of the great seaport Of the Old
Dominion. The lesson inculcated by
these facts suggests the necessity for
more thorough cooperation and a r
nest business sympathy between indi-
viduals and cities of the South. There
are mighty tasks for Memphis to &C
cemplish, or all that we have done is
wholly in VAIN. Our future is threat
ened on every hand. A direct rail-
way to Norfolk through the center of
Tennessee drags it's slow length from
Nashville towards the Atlantic, but
has not strength enough to lift its
body of iron over the Cumberland
Mountains. If Milton Brown, Treze-
want and Sykes would begin at Mem
phis and here consolidate public opin-
ion, and define a plan Of public action
by which all that must, can be done,
Memphis will accomplish more than
Norfolk, and maintain her ancient
fame as the wisest and most public
spirited Of all American cities.

A LONG letter against the postal
telegraph system of England appears
in the New York Tribune. The chief
objection urged is the delay in the
transmission of messages, and that
everything there has a tendency to
run into the "circumlocution" ruts.
The Philadelphia Age, an opponent OF
the new system, thinks the same OBJ
lection will exist here. That remains
to be seen. But it is certain that 20
necessary reason exists why it should
be SO. We are willing to make the
experiment. The effort to give cheap
postage has succeeded. Why may
not that, to give cheap kilograms, sue
coed also?

COMMERCIAL questions involved
give a deal of interest to the PROPOSE
ton of President Grant to buy Hayti.
This was the famous Hispaniola dis
covered by Columbus in 1892,
and, rebaptised into savagery by
blacks, after partial redemption by
French and S~paniards, is now known
as Hayti. One, sometimes two ne
groes, have reigned andgs desolated
the island at short intervals, and at
last Grant proposes to invest it with
some of the delights Demonstration.
We have not often had occasion to ap-
prove the workings of this delectable
process, but must commend tito u
throat-cutting neighbors of Hayti. A
hell to civilized people might be re-
garded a very respectable paradise by
savage blacks and mixed breeds Of
the blo0d-stained island.
In the scheme of Divine Providence
reconstruction must have had some
benefeent purpose, and after it is per-
fected by the prayers and blessings Of
Brownlow, and maledictions of But
Ter, we are not sure that Hayti should
not be brought within the sphere Ofits
excessively humanizing operation.
Thieves and carpet-baggers might
safely invade Hayti. Penniless adj
venturers. having nothing could suffer
nothing at the hands o blaek bandits,
and the savage inhabitants own no.
thing that even a modern Southern
Congressman would steal. Negroes
abound in Hayti, and we do not see
why ReveIs, Butler, Whittemore,
Lewis, and a multitude of black and
white public plunderers may not find
a delightful abiding place in the trop-
zeal island. The climate is faultless,
and abundance crowns harvest fields
untouched by the hand of labor. Sam
bo's dream of supreme beatitude may
be realized in Hayti. He may snooze
in the sunshine wrapped inpancakes,
while mulatto angels deluge him with
m~olasses. But beyond ali necessi-
ties of ~statecraft, impeIling our pro-
found President to effect the acquisi-
ton of Hayti, all the brOthers-in-law
of the illustrious family in the White
House may turn their jacks" while
Grant is making an ass of himself.
Hayti is just now beyond the opera
ton of the infamous tariff system that
robs the West aud South to poverty
and heaps up wealth mountain high
in the East. Grant and the brothers.
in-law viii know several weeks be-
forehand that Hayti will be absorbed.
Coffee, sugar, rum, cigars and all the
products of the Indies will be gathered
by Corbin and his ring in Hayti.
Grant will proclaim Hayti a ne
gro State /; it is within
our lines" its contents are
freed from the touch of excisemen and
Custom House officers, and though
the government make nothing, the
governing family may be enriched.
sOf course, all this is suppositious,
and while we confess that we have
not sufficient reason for believing the
President to be corrupt, he has surely
been, as in the case supposed, the
dupe of mad negro loving enthusiasts
and of the basest and most corrupt
spectators that ever contributed to
the degradation and Generalization
of American society and government.
