the interests Of Southern people He did
not conceive that the principles Of the " lost

returning sense of justice assured the rights
Of every freeman, a period to which he conf.

was afraid to trust himself to speak, because
he could not think one thing and say an

FORREST CITY.
A Sad and LOng'Grumble at the Railroad
WIN the City Fathers Make q Note of it9
From an Occasional Correspondent !


FoRRBsT CIrY, October Is, lS7l.-Your
excellent sheet makes its way to our little
"city" daily at6:I It will be very short
time until our enterprising news agents,
M and z. Long, has every body supplied
with 1t, and every one reading tbe news of
the great city of Memphis But Mr. Edi-
tors, simply reading and hearing the news
don't make money; and nearly every
body, hardly an exception that comes to
"ArFanssw" has it implanted in his mind
TO mako money. Then naturally arises
the query, what is necessary to supply
this deficiency? We say there Is e def
clancy. and one that csnnot be supplied,
unless you gentlemen shall come to our
assistance First give as railroad, and
then the rest shall be added unto u.s."
Then you see at once what is needed
mostly to put us in good humor, and 70
give Us certain security that our goods
will be transported Immediately after
pur chasing.
Od8 merchants buy cotton and keep it
sometimes two or three weeks, which,
you see at once, is great inconvenience,
and at the present has lost them from 9
cent to a cent and a half, from the fact
that the railroad don't carry off the cotton
Then, gentlemen, are we TO lose this, be
cause We cannot bel ourselves? Are we
to buy goods ct st. Louis, Cincinnati, 9TH
ninety dsys, and not get them until half
of the time qas expired. and then receive
them oH5-bslf damaged and the other half
stolenf We don't accuse any particular
person or persons, yet we say that there
are persons who handle our goods that
ought to mind ard remember that Tho
merchant opens his goods. We say
this to warn all those who have
such a hsnkering." Sometimes our
cheese comes up rat eRtenf We
don't know what sort of rats

with the railroad to bring us thro6kh |

NASHVILLE, October N.-Mr. Mccall,
to-day, introduced a resolution inquir-
ing into the legality Of the State bonds
issued to the several railroad companies.
The resolution was sustained by Messrs.
Crews, Harris and Lumpkin, and passed
by large majority.
This wss eminently unsatisfactory to
the bondholders and gratifying to the
friends of low taxes. The indications are
that the tax will not exceed thirty cents
on the one hundred dollars.
Hon. W. E Niblack, of Indiana, is here.
He was invited into the bar of the seD-
ste. he urges the Democracy to remain
true to their principles and organization
and men. Such is the spirit and purpose
OF the Democrats here.
