At the meeting in Chelsea, Satur-
day evening, one Of the speakers said
that within a year or two Welsh rail
ways would be extended into every
pOpulOus district of Shelby county;
that Colonial Tom Avery was ex-
pending money very uselessly in max
ing a costly turnpike to Germantown.
Ahttle steam engine is the cheapest
morse a neighbOrhoOd can feed and
own. 1t never has the bolts, and its
proVender Is only wood and water.
The owner, but never the horse. NAV
die Of the bighead. 1t never GROWS

In England, everywhere, Welsh rail-
ways are coming into use. One ia
building from London two hundred
miles long. The secret Of their sue
cess consists in their cheapness, and
in the great number Of passengers
carried in proportion to the weight of
rolling stock. Cheap homes, easily
accessible, out in the hills, where
roses may bloom and children's
cheeks grow ruddy; where mechanics
may live without wasting all fruits Of
toll in taxes and rents, will make
Memphis a great manufacturing city.
The winters Of Memphis never freeze
the muscles Of honest industry, and
myriads Of mechanics from Northern
cities would be gathered here by
Welsh railways. The Wood and viii
low-ware, the Empire Manufacturing,
and the FIGURING and Planning Mills
Companies are all deeply interested
in the success Of the Raleigh Springs
Welsh railway, which will beget
many like it.

Northern. soldiers graves, at Ander.

suffered and died within prison walls,
while those of the South without and
their wives and children wanted

with flowers. Bullock, who steers his
filthy party in Georgia, and Terry
who plays the despOt, were present.
We can hardly believe that these two

MEMPHIS APPEAL

IT is a fixed fact that grain cannot
be transferred by railways from Iowa,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, and the
country west Of the Mississippi, to
Atlantic cities with any profit to pro-
ducers. Conceding this fact the Fed
eral government, strangely enough,
applies the remedy by expenditures
lavished upon the upper rivers OF the
West. Make these as navigable as
White river and no relief is
given the people Of the South
and West. Private enterprise
rears mighty grain elevators along
the Mississippi, and Congress,
to appease Northwestern people,
removes snags and deepens channels
along Northern tributaries Of the great
river. There is palpable fraud and
folly in such expenditures OF money
and toll. Western Congressman may
thus conciliate Western constituent
cies, but the intention to prevent the
utilization Of the Mississippi for pur-
poses Of commerce is palpable, in the
fact that no proper measures are
defined by Federal legislation
for the purpose of deepening the
outlet to the sea below New Orleans.
If upper rivers were broad, deep and
safe as Brunswick harbor, the great
obstacle to the cheap expectation of
Western cereals remains. At the
Balize the water is only seventeen
feet deep. If Western communities
would lessen the cost Of freights to
Europe, South America to Mexico and
the West Indies One-half, and thus
double their profits on agricultural
products and thus add One-half to the
value Of farms, the end may be at
tanned by making politicians at Wash
ington understand that the products
Of the West can only be probably
shipped from New Orleans in vessels
drawing from twenty to thirty
feet, and capable Of carrying
from fifty to seventy thousand
bushels Of grain. There is a magnif-
cent elevator at New Orleans rem
dered valueless TO the west by the
stupidity or calculating knavery Of
Congressman who owe place and
power to railway combinations
enriched by impoverishing the grain
growers Of the west. Open the way
from the Mississippi to the sea, let
Governor Alcorn build his Mississippi
river railway, retaining the low
lands from overflow, extend the Sys-
TEN Of Memphis railways into Kan
sas and the Indian Territories, suffer
the Great Eastern to enter the
port Of New Orleans, erect
grain elevators on the Ar
kansas and Tennessee shores at
Memphis, and the wealth and popU-
latiOn Of Memphis will be augmented
TO an incalculable extent. Alcorn's
railroad will double the cotton crop
Of the Gull States, and more than
double the quantity sold in this mar
ket. Then give US the grain Of West
ern Tennessee and Kentucky, and Of
Arkansas, Western Missouri and Kan
sas, and Memphis becomes the richest
of cities in the Valley Of the Mississip-
pi. Every Chamber Of Commerce in
the west should present facts here con-
sidered to law-givers at Washington.
The absolute waste of money Squan-
dered upon Western rivers while the
Mississippi itselfis closed at its mouth,
is criminal as it is fraudulent, and
than useless.

The Radicals are determined, by
fair means or foul, to retain the Presf-
dency for another four years. To this
end they are now shaping legislation
and holding caucuses. But If, after
having taken absolute control of the
question of suffrage, they find them
selves defeated at the polls, they have
another scheme by which to secure
the White House to the Radical NOM
inee. A mere pretense that there has
been some irregularity in the election
Ia any State will be the signal for
Congress to take the entire election in
hand, and to proceed to elect a Presi-
dent irrespective Of the will of the
people.
