The Malone Economy.

Gen. MAHoNB in his testimony before the
Committee OF Roads stated that he could
build road from Richmond to Petersburg
for 5000. 900, yet he offers for taco,fjths (the
States interest," Of the present road between
these towns, S57S, :-nearly taoice the
sun, for achich he could build a road of his
oacn, AND TO BUILD WHICH CHARTER HAS
BEEN GRANTED HIN BY THE PRESENT LEessLA-
TURE!
How In the name of reason are we to &C.
count for this? We see no earthly expla.
nation save that he wants to control this
road-this throat of a large Virginia com.
merce-to choke it when he pleases. We
have not stated the many ways in which
an alien interest may peryert the uses
of that road to the serious injury of this
city and the commerce Of Virginia. We do
not deem it necessary. There is enough Of
the unaccountable, of dark mystery about
it., to prevent any calm and unbiased states
man from doing so unjust an act as to en-
graft General MALONE upon this Richmond
and Petersburg line. A line in no wise
identified with his.
Why should Gen. MALONE pay s57S, 400
for two-tiiths of a road when he can build
new road for sS00,OOO? Why, f,irther
more, should he want to seize this road
this property of others, when they offeI
him entire equality of transit for all hi
lreisats-when tney, indeed, offer for fail
'eiip~ sneir road-bed, and even to build 6
flve-foot gatlae road for his accommodation
at price to be amicably arranged by ths
fairest rules of arbitrationf
Why--why, after all this, will nothing dc
save complete control of the way between
Petersburg and Richmond! That and no.
thing else will appease the General. We
would not grant this power under the cir.
cumstances to any man on earth.

The New York World Aroused at
Last,


As we have so often censured the World
for its soundness-indeed, its entire ig-
norance of Democratic principles-we must
do it the justice to say that it is improving.
Hear it:
"Generul Buffers KukluJ B,H.-We
approve and endorse the resistance made
by the Democratic members OF the house
Yesterday to the introduction OF the So
called kukluX bill, drafted by General But
ler. II is an occasion which justifes re-
course to every obstructive parliamentary
device, It is the duty, not of Democrats
only, but of all honest MEN, to meet this
latest scheme of tyranny at the frontier,
and to Withstand and fight it at every stage
of it's progress with every weapon ana ny
every kind of tactics.
If, in spite of all resistance, this bill passes
and is signed by President Grant, then we
will spurn and spit upon it, and counsel
resolutb opposition to its enforcement; An
army of five hundred thousand men will not
suffice to put such law in execution. IT
this incendiary firebrand is flung into the
South it will kndle confiagration which it
NAV require rivers Of blood to eXtlngulsn.
The passage Of such bill is the overthrow
of the Constitution and the destruction OF
our free institutions, and whoever acknoW-
lodges it's authority or submits to its enforce
ment is a traitor to his country. We have
steadily counselled forbearance and mode
ration, but if this bill passes the country
has got beyond the point where torbearance
ceases to be virtue, and the time will have
come for stout hearts and bold leaders.
Life, property, all material interests, are
trivial in the face of such an issue as these
mad revolutionists are seeking to force
upon the country"
The World rather spoils the above by its
arguments against the bill, which seem to
concede what is denied in the foregoing
that Congress has jurisdiction over such
questions.

4 Slight Mistake

A Newport correspondent of the New
York Advertiser relates the following as
one of the mistakes incident te hotel life
when parties are in hurry and the gas
turned off:
I heard such an excellent story. and
knOwtit to be a fact, must relate it. A
gentleman and wife on travelling tour stop
ped at a a hotel. The gentleman was
an invalid jaunting for health, and was
subject to severe attacks Of spasms in his
chest, which nothing would relieve but a
blister, or in the absence of that, a good
hot mustard plaster. They reached the
strange hotel late in the day, and in the
night Mr.. was taken very i'll. His wife
was unable to find any remedies at
hand among her traps, but remembering
to have seen the castor containing mus
tard on the sideboard Of the dining
hall, and being reluctant to arouse
the servants, she flew down with q
light, and made a plaster as quick as
possible. Now the room she occupied was
at the head of the stairs, on the right hand
coming up, but there was one precisely
similar to it on the left side. Just as she
reached the head of the staircase her light
went out, but wishing to bring relief to
the sufferer as quickly as possible she
went into her room on the right, as she
supposed, and flying up to the occupant of
the Ded-her husband, OF course-clapped
the plaster on his chest. Just as it touched
the individual in question, what was her
fright and horror at being assailed with a
strong expletive and at discovering she
had turned to the left instead of the right,
and entered the wrong apartment. The
hurry with which she entered was not
quite equal to that with which she re-
retreated and on finding her own man and
telling him the story, he laughed SO out
rageously as to get cured without any
plaster at all. So mortified was the lady,
| however, that she insisted on leaving the
| hotel the next morning, at an hour suffi-
GENTLY early to avoid meeting the victim
| of her mistake. t.s. b.

Phmhe CarY'S Love and Grief.

The most touching and beautiful feature
of Phoebe Cary's altogether beautiful life
was her unvarying love for her sister,
which grew stronger and stronger as the
years of their life advanced, and which
survived death itself unimpaired. Alice
was apparently ever in her thoughts-not
that the meditations concerning her de-
parted friend and sister were of moody
or unreconciled nature, for, on the con-
trary, she pictured her as enjoying the
happiest existence possible. But her heart
was buried in her sisters grave; she
could not live without herr and her dis
ease was doubtless "broken heart
After Alice's funeral she threw open the
windows of the room which had been the
scene of her sufferings, and filled it with
flowers (which Alice so loved" The eve
ming was then spent in reading her sisters
poems, and when the time for separation
came she declined all offers of companion
ship and preferred to sleep as she had al
ways done, alone, with the door open be-
tween hers and her sisters room. Her
cravings for the presence of her friends
was the most remarkable feature of her
illness, and her droH humor which had so
often shone forth brilliantly in former
years, could not be restrained even on her
death bed. 9 She expended it mainly on
the doctor, who was quite nOnplussed by
her case and knew not what to do for her.

Farmers Aroused.

The following communication we find
in the Rogersville Reporter, and we give
it place in our columns, hoping that the
farmers in every county throughout East
Tennessee will form similar club. We
think each farmer competing should be
required to furnish statement of the
kind of land, its condition, quality of fer
tilizers, how applied, the kind of wheat
sowed and the time of sowing:
New CANTON, Tenn, Aug. 7, 1871.
MEssRs EDITORS We wish, through
the columns of your paper, to make this
proposition: Let twenty farmers of Haw-
kins county form club by sending their
names to the office of the RepOrter-the
object of which shall be for our mutual
benefit as follows: Every man who sends
in his name will be considered member
of the club, and will be required to SOW
five acres of groundin wheat this fall, ma
nuring and putting the ground in as good
| fix as he deems proper. He will furnish
| five bushels of the wheat SO grown on the
| first Monday of August, 1872, or other day
agreed upon, about that time, the whole
amount of wheat furnished leach member
of the club furnishing five bushels of
| wheat will be for a premium to him who
grows the greatest amount on the five
acres. "H ..-#
When the requisite number of names
are sent in, please publish the fact, so that
| the members of the club can have meet
| ing. We do not propose to enter into the
scheme with less than twenty members,
bat any more farmers who may think this
a laudable project, can join our club on
! like terms and conditions, viz: by furnish
ing sample to go into the premium
(wheat,) raised on the five acres specially
sown. Respectfully, &C.,
...,-a .r..f SEVERAL FARMERS.
