1t is actually said. and that without contra
dictiOn, that the Eastern Railroad, on which
the recent slaughter near Revere occurred, is
run without any system of signals along the
line, and without timetables. This statement.
if it has any foundation, is sufficient to con-
Wet the managers of the road of gross negli-
gence. The Eastern Railroad Company can
afford to build expensive depots and make
fair dividends on its stock, but it cannot
afford TO maintain single line of telegraph
wire by which to run its trains. Whenever
trains are run 10y telegraph, collisions are
made almost impossible On the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific, where it was
thought that such disasters would be frequent,
there have been few collisions, the telegraph
keeping conductors of trains so well informed
of the condition Of the track and the position
of all moving trains that even disObedience of
orders could not well wreck n train unless
more than one conductor was at fault.

"a prominent general, who has paid much
attention TO Indian affairs" is reported to have
informed the War Department that in his
opinion, the Indians would get along very
well if it were not for the whites, and that
the whites would be all right if it were not
for the Indians One need not be prominent
general, nor specially studous of Indian af-
fairs to discover this solid truth. THE TRIB-
UNE has constantly insisted that a majority
of the Indian wars" which disgrace the
country have their origin with white settlers.

If the murder of the young woman whose

some satisfaction at least, to know that these

search which has run an unbrOken thread OF
evidence directly from the hapless victim to
the murderer. And now, right in the train OF

A RAILROAD WE NEED.

Knoxville enjoys peculiar advantages as
Il commercial city. 1t has an immense ter
ritory naturally tributary to it. Its bust
ness men have had the capital, energy and
sagacity to improve these advantages, and
they command influence and respect rare
ly accorded the commercial men of even
much larger cities. These men have eX-
tended their business in every direction
ustil now they sell to most merchants
within a radius of one hundred and fifty
miles of this city. Their reputation has
gone far and wide, and they have given
a character to our city which we could get
in no other way. All this work they have
accomplished under disadvantages. Thus
a few days we published an extract from
the letter of a correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, written from the Cum
berland Mountains, near a hundred miles
from here, in which he spoke of every
merchant in that isolated section, drawing
his supplies from Knoxville. All that
territory naturally belongs to our city, and
if our means of transportation were in
creased, our business men would, for all
time, monOpolize their trade. And this
brings us to what we said before, namely:
That heretofore our merchants have labored
under serious disadvantages. What Knox
Vile needs, not only for her merchants but
for her manufacturers, is the completion of
the cross trunk line from the Ohio to the
South Atlantic. We mast have this great
road or we can never have cheap freights
Until we secure competition in transpOrta-
ton, we will suffer as do all cities and
places with but one railroad.
On the Goth inst, these roads are to be
sold by the State. Knoxville is interested
in having them fall into proper hands, and
she can afford, if necessary, to lose not only
all the interest she now has in them, but
give additional. 1t may not be necessary
to do either, but, if so, we ought to be
ready and willing to make the concession.
We trust the opportunity now offered to
give US new and important advantages will
not pass without being improved. Knox
vile can not afford to have her interests
jeopardized by the schemes of cunning
rings, and she should see that this golden
opportunity is not lost to her, or to the
State Have not the State Commissioner,
the right to demand of the purchasers o
these roads a guarantee that they viii
complete them? If they are only to b.
sold to ring for speculation, what doe
the State or the people gain by sacrificing
millions? This is point worth consider
ing and investigating.

GETTING PIOUs.

The editor of the Louisville Courier
Journals getting pious He has written and
talked about the new departure and the
Bourbon Democracy, until he has worked
himself up to a very uncomfortable frame
of mind. He fancies that something ter
rible is coming, and sends forth his fervent
petition in the following strain:
May God protect the widows and orphans Of
the desolated South from these professional poll
tcians The South has reason only to fear
They, and their counsels have been fatal to the
South. They, and their policy, have well-nigh
destroyed the Democratic party. In Pennsyl-
vania we find them cooperating with the Radi-
need, we find them ignoring the National Dem
ocracy and bent only on fattering those local
prejudices which are considered strong enough
to keep them in office.
Oh how the soul of the great man yearn-
eth for..peace in the ranks of the faithful !!
Knowing well that Sin union there is
strength, )" he bewails the divisions of the
party, for the reason that the sceptre can
never be welded by them, and that power
remains with the people and the "Radi-
calls" But few days ago, according to the

man was using fiippant language toward
the party, intimating that it might take
mp its abode in sui phurous regions, but he
has evidently repented, and instead of
cursing, engages in prayer. Pray on, broth
er Watterson. We couldn't, with our read
ing of the Good Book, give you much
encouragement as to the availability or
good effect of your petitions; but,

SOUTHERN LITERATURE AGAIN.

naman who is the author of aschool book
or any other kind of book, appeals to the
people of the South for patronage saying
that sit has been particularly his aim
to relieve this section from false state
ments ard misrepresentation that fill the
Northern histories" it is safe to put him
down in your list of consummate fools, if
you keep one. A man who is capable of
writing a book of any kind, has a mind
altogether too broad to give so foolish a
reason why it should be received into
Southern schools and families,
If a Southern man is the author of any
literary production and is willing that it
shall be tested by its merits, we would
give him every facility for placing it fairly
before the public, and if it is meritorious,
all other things being equal, we would pa
tronize him. Butwe don't wish to be insult
ed by having such silly appeals made to
us as are above alluded to.
We have been led to make these reflec-
tions after reading in the Cincinnati Com
nerciaL, of "A Grammar School History
of the United States" by J. S. Blackburn,
of Alexandria, Va, and w. n. Mcdonald,
Of Louisville, KY. They profess to be i'm
partial and free from sectional views, and
want patronage for the reasons above quo
ted. The Commercial, speaking of the
book, very aptly says:
Gentlemen who set out with lofty ideal Of
lmpartlality will commonly bear watching.
Thus, we find one Of the earliest uses made of
the impartial principle is to set it down as fact
that, in the last war with Great Britain, when
the State of Maine was invaded from Nova &c.,
tia, "two-thirds of the inhabitants Of Maine,
swOre allegiance to the British Government"
This is a statement which might be important,
if true, but it is entirely unfounded in fact.

AS we stated yesterday morning, Con-
nolIy's object in having the vouchers stolen
was, undoubtedly, to make his "ample
abstracts evidence, and thereby remove
all hope of tracing out forgeries and frauds
which the originals would certainly eX
pose. We were correct in our surmise, as
is shown by the following telegram from
New York, giving the TTibuue'S editorial
on the subject. 1t says:
a darker color is to-day given to the theft of
the vouchers. 1t is now asserted that the stolen
warrants bore the Endorsement of the persons to
whom they were paid. and the numbers of the
checks conveying money, thus furnishing an in
valuable means of tracing the spoilsmen who
received them. 1t is reported and believed that
forgeries to a large amount in the accounts of
