Radical Ku-KIux Held to Bail
school CnIIdren Accused of Ku-
KIuXing.
The Meridian Gazette, of March 28,
says:
''The investigation of the recent riot
was concluded yesterday. The testimony
covers about 140 pages of legal cap. The
decision of Judge Leachmau, who has
presided as committing Magistrate, is as
follows: That G. w. Branty, Hugh w.
Wilson, and Robert E. Coleman, ST., be
held to answer before the grand jury
the charge of unlawful assembly; or any
other charge the grand jury may prefer
against them, in bonds of 5000 each; and
that J. F. Sanford and Isaac Adams be
bonded in the sum of $500 each, to an
swer the charge of assault with intent to
kill, or any other charge the grand jury
NAV prefer against them; that A. +.
Horn be likewise held in the sum of 800
to answer the charge of assault, or any
other charge the grand jury may see fit to
prefer against him
The jackson Times of the same date
says:
at will be gratifying to the people of
the State 10 know that the Legislature and
the Executive are acting in unison, and
with energy, TO put down lawlessness.
What is termed the Senate kU-KluX bill
something like the law of Tennessee
also meets the cordial approval of His
Excellency. Now that it is passed, there
is no doubt but what he will use it judi
ciously and firmly in restoring peace and
good order, threats against either the mill
tia or the bill to the contrary notwith-
standing"
During the debate in the Senate on this
bill, it was stated that the Governor had
already sent for troops; that they were en-
route from Louisville, KY, and q regi-
ment of cavalry was promised from the
Southwestern Department.
The reported riot between negro and
white school children, a statement of
which was mailed to several papers North,
is pronounced by the Jackson Pilot "a
Radical paper of March 29, as false. The
Pilot had, few days since, published a
letter from Raymond, purporting to give
the particulars of the riot, in which It's
correspondent stated that number OF
white men participated, and that one ne
gro child was shot by them, and the whole
country had been raised and were IN
arms.

miles nearly by air line. By the Lebanon,
Tennessee route, the road would run 30
miles east, instead of going directly to-
ward the State line.
In Kentucky the Cumberland and
Ohio Railroad had been let out to re-
sponsible parties, from the point where it
left the Short Line to Greensburg, and
these parties were to build the road
within two years. From the Short Line
to Greensburg the road would cost
about one million and three hundred
thousand dollars, and all of the
counties in Kentucky along the routs, ex-
cept the county of Barren, had voted for
the road Sumner county would give its
pro rata; she would give $500, 900.
Mr.. Turner then gave several anecdotes
from which he said it was evident that dis
ordinations were made against Nashville
He next spoke of the wealth along the line
of the Cumberland and Ohio road, in the
way of oil, etc. In Sumner county there
was an oil well capable of producing twenty
barrels of lubricating oil day, and vet only
a few barrels had ever been sent away, be-
cause the oil would not bear the heavy cost
of transportation over dirt roads. There
was also fine drift for making mill stones,
and fine silex for making glass, second to
none in the country, except that at Berk-
shire, Mass. ALI of these advantages were
in favor of the road.
MR.. B. ]. TARvER,
OF Lebanon, followed Mr.. Turner. He
advocated the claims of Wilson county,
and gave his reasons why the Cumberland
and Ohio road should run to the Tennessee
and Pacific railroad, and connect by that
route with Nashville. By going through
Sumner county and the route proposed by
Judge Turner, the speaker contended that
no new county would be opened up, be-
cause the trade of that section would
naturally flow to Nashville anyhow; but by
going through Lebanon and Hsrtsville
and Lafayette, q new section, not touched
by any road, would be opened up 10 the
trade of Nashville and the value of the
land along the route would be enhanced.
If connection was made with Nashville by
way of the Tennessee and Pacific railroad
the stock Of Davidson county already in
that road would be vitalized, without the
expense Of subscribing new stock, and 30
miles of the road would already be built.
Besides, a company had been formed more
than a year ago to run a road from Leba-
non to inte1sect the Cumberland and Ohio
railroad.
COL JACOB GoLLADAY
addressed the meetiog at some length,
complimenting the gentleman from Gala
tin and also the gentleman from Lebanon
for the ability and energy they had dis
played in advocating the claims of their
respective counties. He would have done
the same if ne had lived at Gallatin or
Lebanon, but the question for Nashville
was one of dollars and cents. Col. Cola
day then addressed the meeting in favor of
q connection with Nashville over the Ten
nessee and Pacific Railroad.
On motion, the meeting was adjourned
till Saturday, when it is expected another
railroad meeting will be held to consider
this question.

MOBILE.


Three Races-AIIIe Hunt Beaten
Mamie Douglas Beats Morgan
Scout.
MoRIK, March S0.-At the Mobile
races to-day, in the three-year old race,
Foster beat John Mcdonald time, 1:46s
and 1:513. The first heat was the best
one mile time ever made here.
In the second race, Corsican won in
1:504, 1:493, Allie Hunt second, and
Capt. Jinks third, almost winning the
first heat.
The mile and the three-quarter race
was won by Mamie Douglas in
3:14}, Victory second, and Morgan
Scout third. The day was fine, the track
in good condition, and the racing excel
lent.

The Pennsylvania Railroad vas also seek
ing Southern connections, and was pro-
posing to turn off at Madison, on the
Ohio river, and run to Lebanon, Ky,
and thence to Nashville.
Mr.. Turner then stated that the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad had declared,
within six years, a stock dividend of fifty
per cent, besides a cash dividend of fifty
per cent. The reason they issued stock
dividend was because the net earnings of
the road were taken up in building the
road and its branches. If the road had
honestly appropriated the entire earnings
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
instead of putting them into the bridg4 at
Louisville, and even into a hotel at Louis
vile, and in attempting to get in the di-
rection of Norfolk, of Elizabethtown and
Stanford, the road might well have issued
a cash dividend of 100 or more per cent.
within the last six years. Your money
that belonged to Davidson county, and 1
say it without the fear of successful con-
trRdiction the money that belonged to
Davidson and franklin and Warren coun-
ties has been appropriated to build up
branch roads that built up the Louisville
end of the route.
The speaker then said that the Cumber-
land and Ohio Railroad, if run through
Sumner county to Nashville, would run
through counties in Tennessee that were
twice as wealthy as the counties in Ken
tucky run through by the Louisville road.
Then, if the Cumberland and Ohio Rail-
road was connected with the Pennsylvania
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio, there
would be a much better terminus for Nash
vile in the North than the Louisville road
had. If the Louisville road had made i'm
mense profits, was there any question
whether the Cumberland and Ohio would
pay?
Mr.. Turner then spoke Of the discrimi-
nation in regard to freights on the Louis
wills and Nashville Railroad, and in regard
to competition with other roads. 1t had
been said that Mr.. Fink said the other day,
''If you build that road and come in com
De ition with us, we will put our treiShts
down to nothing" Mr.. Turner said that
was the very thing that Tennessee desired.
This Cumberland and Ohio Railroad would
pass through a rich country, would be
thirty miles shorter than any other route,
and would furnish good opportunity for
investment The question then was, what
would Nashville and Davidson county do?
Mr.. Turner then considered the claims
of the Lebanon route, and agreed that the
route through Gallatin would not only be
shorter but better. The question was
whether one side of an acute angle was
not shorter than the other two sides, and
whether Nashville could afford the luxury
of going out of the way twenty miles every
day to visit the cedars Of Lebanon, when
she could have shorter route through
Sumner county.
In answer to question by Maj. Thomp-
son, Mr.. Turner said it was not proposed
10 uss any portion of the louisville and
Nashville Railroad track for the Cumber-
land and Ohio, but to have a separate
route. It was 26 mi es from Nashville to
GaIlatin by railroad, and % miles from
there to the Kentucky line, making 48

HOUSE.
The Hobgoblins.

AhC
The House proceeded in the considera.
ton of the Ku-Klux bill.
-E Beck.
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, speaking OF
TIE bill, said: The bantling of the Presi.
dent after a barbarous incubation has
been Matched and was now before them
to destroy the rights of the State and the
people, and to put into the hands of the
President, unless the bill shall be killed
here, omnipotent power everywhere.
This bill would make the President dicts-
tor of the country over the liberties of the
people. Those who aided and abetted
tie bill would become more odious than
the Ku-Klux desperadoes of the South.
The pretext for the passage of this bill
was to afford cause for cry of war,
murder and Ku-Klux so as to divert the
people from thinking of the extravaganza,
the class legislation and the bond, lands
and railroads swindles.
Blair, of Michigan.
Mr.. Blair, of Michigan, thought it was
not law that was wanted, but the execu-
ton of the law. The enforcement bill
seemed comprehensive enough to meet
the emergency, but the President was no
usurper, and the clamor about danger
was merely made to help the Democratic
party.
Fernando wood.
Fernando Wood denounced the bill as
making the President lawless dictator
responsible to no one. Congress had
higher duty to perform than sgitate sub
jects like this. 1t is the duty of Con
gress to provide for the reduction of tax
alton and public expenditures; to abolish
sinecure offices; to restore the currency
to a specie basis; TO reduce the army to
peace footing; to provide against the &C
cumulation and retention of large sums
of money in the public Treasury; to pre-
vent the purchase and sale of the public
credit by the Secretary of the Treasury
at his own option; to bring the President
and his cabinet advisors under the Su-
thority of law, to make them obedient to
its provisions and alike with others sub
iecl to penalties; to restore the Southern
States and people to peace and prosper
lty and contentment, which will only be
accomplished by the cessation of vindic
tive legislation and military Interference,
and the recognition of their equal rights,
including government and political
equality with the other States and peo-
pie; and to revive American commerce.
MISUNDERSTANDING
Mr.. Maynard read an article from the
Chattanooga Times of March 3, 1871,
which said: ''Now no person pretends TO
dery that crimes and outrages are commit
ted Ill the South by organized bodies of
masked marauders some of whom belong
TO the secret political society of Ku-
Klux" Maynard said this admission
came from a friend of the gentleman on
the other side.
Eldridge charged Maynard with having
cut the article in two and then read. The
entire article was in substance that the
outcry of outrsges by Ku Klux was
simply pretext to station troops in the
South so as to carry the Presidential cleo
ton by force for the Republican party,
etc.
House adjourned.
