THE xNoxvrIIE AND MACON RAILROAD

We have too frequently urged upon this
community the importance of competition
in our facilities for transportation, to view
with apathy the enterprise inaugurated by
Col. De Graffenried and his associates, of
the Macon and Knoxville Railroad. We
have no doubt whatever of the great bene-
fits Knoxville would derive from the CON
struction OF this road, and we cannot be-
iieve they will be wanting in active efforts
to further it, in every way possible. GU
The total distance from Macon to Knox
vile by the proposed route is $50 miles
III miles in Georgia and So in Tennessee.
A charter has already been granted
by the Legislature of Georgia, under
which the incorporators have or
ganiZed. They have secured means
for the completion of the first fifteen
miles of the road and the State of Georgia
is to aid them to the extent of Sic, 900 per
mile for the remaining distance. 81.
What the road now seeks is charter
from the State of Tennessee The new
constitution takes the whole power of
granting charters from our General Assem-
bly, and vests itin the Chancery Court. In
prescribing the basis upon which this
power shall be exercised by that court, the
Assembly has provided that before any
charter for railroad is granted, at least
5000 for each milo such road is to be
built within the State, shall be. first sub
scribed in Tennessee, and other conditions
not necessary in this connection to mention.
The Macon and Knoxville road does not
ask any subscriptions from the people of
this State. They say they have no need
OF such help, but only ask for the privilege
of constructing it. We can not see that
some general modification of this law, Civ
ing to our Chancellors greater latitude in
their discretion in granting such charters
would be Objectionable, and we hone
when our next Assembly convenes that
the matter win receive their careful and
impartial attention. We are in ftvor of
liberal legislation on. such subjects, grant.
ing freely privileges to all enterprises, so
far as the same are consistent aetth he
rights and protection of TIC people. We
want more railroads, and whenever we
can secure them without conceding the.
peoples privileges, we think 1t ought to
be done. 80 far as we can now see, this
road asks nos sucho concessions, and we
hope their petition viii receive from our
legislators just and liberal consideration.

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON,

The treaty just concluded at Washing
ton fills several columns of, the Eastern
dailies, aud, would not be read, even if
much abridged, by our readers. We have
examined Il with such care as we could,
and present, q brief digest of its chief fea-
lures L-3+-- -.--4 q ,--e7E EeG4
1t is known officially as 1.-THE Treaty of
Washington 1t takes up EACH OF the
grounds Of COMPLAINT ALLEGED by Great
Britain and the United States, and dis
poses of them definitely.
The first in importance and order are
the Aabaflla Claims d ortlle setflelnent
of all stlfese eases the treaty frov4des n
board of arbitration toabe composed of
fiye, persons; One t9 be chosen by, Engr
land, one by our Government, and the
G 2!hs5 oFeS 9s 4s df9 fr tsy the S
the Swiss Confederation. These arbitra-
tors are TO meet at Geneva Switzerland,
within a specified time, aand determine
what claims arctic beadmitted. l { neces-
saIy board of assessors is 10 be appointed
one to. bechosensby England, one bg the
United States and the others designated,
who shall sit in Washington and assess
the amount of damages upon such claims
as the Board. of Arbitrators pronounce le-
gal and valid. -,.l
The next class of claims dealt with, are
claims of citizens of Great Britain and the
United States for damages incurred by
them during the war, or between April.
1861 and April, lS65,,-lTo pass upon these
claims, a mixed commission, chosen one
by England and one by the United States,
with an umpire TO be designated by, the
Emperor of Germany II needed, tis to he
organized.
Upon the Fishery and Northern Boun-
dairy question, the treaty is reasonable and
imbued with spirit of liberality and fair
dealing truly commendablc. ~
The international tribunals provided for
in this treaty are new features in the di-
plomacy OF nations, and we hope will
hereafter always be called upon to decide
questions at issue between rival govern
ments before they draw the sword and
plunge the people into the innuhierable
horrors of war.
We do not care to venture an opinion
on the treaty, for rs yet 1t has been but
imperfectly given to the public. The few
criticisms thus far made upon 1t are evil
IDENTIFY upon points, that Will be provided
for in the schedule. nc is-said tby some
that England does nothing more than nd
NIT that an error was committed in allow
ing the Alabama to escape. We do not
care if nothing more than this has been
secured. That, with just arbitration of
those claims, Will avoid eOar, and IN al il
enough for which to be thankful. The
spirit of the treaty, as il Is now published.
is just, and cannot fail to make that inn
preston on liberal minds in both coun-
tries. The high character OF the Commits
sloners Will give respect and weight to the
treaty and We hope Will lend 10 q more
enlightened and christian diplomacy in
the future. ...l .t.......g4f

ENCOURAGE HOME. INpusrR lie

~. 4 q
The exposition Of the Industrial inter
ests of East Tennessee and other States,
now in progress on the fair grounds, is de-
signed and must result in practical eneour-
agement of our own home enterprises. 1t
is true but small portion ofthe machine
~ and articles exhibited are of home con-
struction; but such as they are, they are
the germ of what, by proper encourage
ment, must become great Industries and of
great benefit to Knoxville and East Ten
nessee. The large manufacturing estab-
lishments represented by the many and
varied implements exhibited by our agri-
cultural dealers, all sprung from just SUCH
unassuming, substantial beginnings as our
manufacturers now show. We need not
expect mammoth shops, employing hun
dreds Of. hands, to spring with mushroom
growth in our midst. Such is not the ex-
perience of such enterprises. In this COM
nection, we quote from the opening adj
dress of one OF the editors of the CHRoNI-
1CLE, delivered at the exposition on Thurs
day, few sentences pertinent to this sub
ject. In reference to our home manufac-
lures he said ut is from just such be-
ginnings as we now show that the largest
industrial enterprises have grown. There
are threshers and reapers and mowers ex-
hibited here to-day, manufactured by an
establishment that, within my own recol-
lection, started in a building less than half
the size of this structure, [the fair build
ing,) andwith scarce half dozen employees.
They employ, to-day, no less than five
hundred hands, and build their machines
in fine brick shops, compactly covering
five acres Of ground, From the small be-
ginnings made in our midst large results
may certainly follow. But we owe to
these enterprises not only the appreciation
we give by this exposition but the actual
encouragement and support of substantial
aid and patronage. We should all resolve
that We will, in every case where possible,
patronize home industries, and induce alE
others to do the same. We can, If we WIFI,
thus create a public sentiment which win
substantial aid l7ll.7i i.'.'F w" ~ 'lI'

utterly inconsistent with their whole re-

THE telegraphic report of jeff Davis
speech at Augusta, Georgia, came so late
on Friday night as to preclude us from
making any comment upon it. We do
not know that We have any cause for COM
planning at Mr.. Davis for INDUCING in the
freedom of speech, for he invariably
arouses the country to the dangers certain
to follow the restoration TO power of his
party and his political associates. We be-
Ieve that the time when Mr.. Davis can
again speak to his fellow-citizens as his
"heart moved him. viii be sorrowful
time for the republic, such time as we ex-
perienced about 1862 when he went
through the South speaking 10 its people
Just precisely rs "his heart moved him. -
When that time comes, If ii ever does, we
are sure it will be a time when Union men
in the South can not speak AS their heart
moves them, and that is the time he
doubtless wishes for. On the whole how
ever we thank JAZZ. for his speech, for it
will so arouse the loyal people of the coun-
try as TO putstill further off the time he
so longs 10 see. We can well believe him
that he could not "think one thing and
speak another" but we are glad he
thought and spoke as much as he did.
We shall have more to say Of it hereafter.

This is one of the strong connecting links

and our platform broad enough, to take in
the entire advanced wing of the Democra-
cy, and we hope none will hesitate.
