MR EDIToR:-I see that the County
Court is awake and alive to the true in
terests of eur county, in improving the
condition OF our roads, aud will soon
take action to have all the bottoms and
bad places ditched and placed in good
order. This is commendaDle, and should
receive the support of every good citi
zen of our community. as upon this de-
pends the amount of business done in
our county, aud the inducements held
out for investments in either produce or
land. No one thing does so much to
build up and advance the true interests
of country as good roads and facilities
for getting 20 market with our products.
Not one fourth ,f the land in our coun
ty is in cultivation, and we never will
induce emigration here to clear up aud
improve the same, till the country wakes
up and puts inaction all its powers for
development, the most essential of which
is good roaS.~nd n means wholly with
in our power | have never seena coun-
try where so little work was required as
here to accomplish this object The
writer of this we'll remembers when the
State road in front of the farm of John
II. Tyler, and the Dresden road in front
of K. G. Prather, and the State Line
road in front of John Shepherds, we're
the worst places in this county, and yet
by the private enterprise and individual
labor of the late j. p. Tyler, in the one
case. and that of Prs.her and Shepherd,
in the others, have rendered that portion
of our roads good and amongst the best
in our county, and at comparatively tri-
fling expense Those men deserve the
utmost credit for their labors and the
success of their efforts, for it is a living
example of what may be done, if our
citizens generally would but adopt their
plan.
If the citizens would take hold of this
matter, and the surveyors of the roads in
the county would adopt this plan-ditch
and throw up the roads-we would have
good roads, throughout the same, but if
not, we trust that our County Court will
have the nerve to require them to do il,
IN all the bottoms aud through the mud
iy, spouty lanes.
And while upon this subject, I will
say that one of our Magistrates who
passes over the State road in coming to
town, assures me, that there is no place
on the road as bad as the Harrison
Hill, within the corporation. Will not
Dur city fathers take hold of this and
remedy the evil2 When the ground is a
little wet and slippery, not over half
Ioad can be pulled up that hill, and it is
wrong, when Hickman is recipient of
the country business aud trade. that
barrier should be left, or found, when
we reach the corporation limits, and one
too that can be so readily and cheaply
remedied.
A continuation of Moscow Avenue
straight out, or . road round by the old
depot would remedy the evil complained
of and at triiing expense.
Will not our corporate authorities
turn their attention to this complaint
from the ecouniry-when We are SO deeply
interested in it2 d.

Radical Treatment Of the Ne
grO.

The Radical sharpers in South Carroll
na having feeced the white people OF
that State in the most effectual manner,
have turned upon the negroes and are
prosecuting them in order TO make more
money. The Missionary Record, pub.
lished in Charleston, and edited by ne
gro man named Cain, who is n minister
of the Gospel and was the Radical Sen
ator from Charleston in the last Legisla-
ture, does not like the course of things
as developed during the past few months
before the United States Commissioner
in that city. In an article in the last
issue of that paper. entitled THE Crimes
Against Liberty in the Name of Justice"
the Missionory Record is very severe
upon the administrators of public justice.

as "ignorant, irresponsible persons, op

Early iu the year 1882. Mr. Leslie,

h.ch was worth seventy Eve cents per

dents.
Carl Schurz understands better than do
some AmeTicans-snd the more shame
to them the danger there is in investing
q military leader with unconstitutional
powers under the supposition that he
can be trusted. No free people should
allow such precedent to be set. Says
the Missouri Senator:
tGive him riches with lavish hand;
cover him all over with gold; steep him
with luxnries; but let not your gratitude
to one make you unmindful of your duty
to ALL l beseech you. let not gratitude
seduce you to throw the laws of the Re
pubic at bis feet.
mo nation deserves to be free and
great, no nation will remain free and
great-nay. sir, that nation has already
ceased to be free and great. that will pay
debt of gratitude at the expense of its
constitutional rights and liberties.
