RAILROAD NEWS.
Iaekson ana ,1emphIs Rallroad.


. EDITORS APPEAI-Our citizens have
been considerably excited on the subject
of the proposed railroad from Jackson
to your city, and not a few have been
accused of having 'srailroad on the
brainu Granting that your humble
correspondent may be classed among
the latter, would beg room in your val
liable paper to make public my views
as to the probability and practieability
of this road, and to call attention to the
cheapest and most direct route. By re-
ferring to the map, and with ruler
drawing an airline from Jackson to
Memphis, you will find that you will
pass near or through Wythe depot,
from which point you viii leave the
Memphis and Louisville railroad and
bear eastward, while the Memphis and
Louisville railroad runs northward
across LOosahatehie to Mason and
Brownsville. 1t is well known to every
taxpayer of Shelby county that to ask
for public aid for this road is prepOster-
Gus at present. Our people now know
what it costs to build a railroad, and
they begin to growl and grumble
whenever you advocate taxation, but
convince them that a road can be
constructed at small expense, and at the
same time be the cause of enhancing the
value of their property and opening
between important
cities or sections of country, and it is an
easy matter to find men of means who
will take stock sufficient to build such a
road. My plan, then, is to use the same
rOad-bed from Memphis to Wythe de-
pot, and then run up on the south side of
Loosahatchie to SolOmon's MILL thence
across the river on an airline to Den
mark and Jackson. Should the Jack
son road be a narrOw-gauge, it would cost
very little to lay a third rail within the
present track, or even two light rails,
agreeing to keep the road-bed in order
for the right of way, thus saving expense
to both roads, [ know of no section of
country in West Tennessee that would
offer greater inducements to capitalists
than the line of this road from Wythe
to SolomOn's mill. We have an mex
haustible belt of fine timber common in
the South. we have fine mill-sites,
which could be converted into cotton
factories with sufficient water power TO
keep them running all the year. The
grading on this route would be light for
about twenty miles.
We will have lively picnic at Hick-
ory Wythe on the thirtieth instant.

GRANTS plan for carrying the South
becomes more and more clearly deyel-
oped, and yet there are those weak
enough TO bend before the majesty of
Grants despotic authority and support
him, or a Democrat, if nominated, who
could beat nobody except Greeley. The
proposition to adjourn is pending in
Congress. The kuklux act is operative
until Congress adjOUrns. Butler and
Grant do not intend that Congress shall
adjourn. Instead, recess will be taken
from the twenty-ninth instant till the
last of November. The object of a
recess is to secure a continuance Of that
clause Of the kuklux law which pro-
vides for the suspension of the writ Of
Aabcas corpus to the end of the present
session, without the necessity of special
Legislation now proposed in the Senate
for that purpose. 1t is probable that
the recess will be voted down, and the
hGbeds corpus suspension debated on its
merits. Very certainly, it is the pur-
pose Of Butler TO have Grant invested
with authority to suspend the writ Of
haboGS corpus in these Southern States
during the months of October and No
vember. The people very certainly
will vote for Greeley, and Grant would
restrain their action by force. In fact,
Grant will probably employ Clayton TO
manage this election for him. Give Clay
ton martial law, and then the right to
count the votes, and Greeley will not
carry precinct in the South.

POLITICAL NOTES.

There appears to be a very generalun-
derstanding among Senators and men,
bers that a final adjournment of Con-
gress wiz take place not later than Sat
urday, the first of June.
The Louisville Courier Journal saws
eve do not believe that Mr.. VOORHEES,
is any worse than the words of his
speech make him appear TO be. His
district is very moss-grOwn, and his con-
stituents do not love Horace Greeley.
He consulted his local interests, we
doubt not, correctly"
President Grant on Tuesday sent a
message TO the Senate relative to the
persecution Of the Jews in Roumania.
The Louisville Courier Journal says
once before the attention of the same
man was turned to the descendants of
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Then it
was to expel them from a certain mill
tary department over which he had
command.
Int NlltlAiAluNl AUNLNttICtlit 8 w flSLl-
ingtOn correspondent says: Converse
ton with the leading Democrats in the
House show that out of one hundred and
five members belonging to that party,
not more than twenty-five are in favor
of the Baltimore Convention making a
nomination, or against the ratification
Of the nomination Of Greeley and
Brown. OF the number are the follow
ing, viz, Voorhees, and Kerr, of Indi-
ana; Campbell, Lamison and Van
Trump, of Ohio; Mcneil, of Illinois;
Slater, Of Oregon; Bird, of New Jer-
sey; Acker, Of Pennsylvania; Young
and DeBOse, of Georgia; Grassland,
Winchester and Lewis, of Kentucky.
Among the Republican Senators who are
known 10 favor Mr.. Greeley's election
are TUmbul, Schurz, FentOn, Upton,
Sprague, Alcorn, Hill, Ferry of Connec-
ticut, West and Robertson.

Kingston, Janlaica, dates of the tenth
instant give an aecount of an attempt
made by the steamer Edgar Stewart to
land munitions OF war for the resolu-
tionists on the Island of Cuba. Some
delay was made by the failure Of some of
the preliminaries Of the commander of
the vessel, which created some anxiety
with those on board friendly to the
and they Immediately took
possession of the vessel. Some Spanish
war vessels in the meanwhile gave chase
to the f1libuster, and the mutinees gave
the vessel again into the hands of the
proper commander, who ran her into
Kingston, and preferred charges of mu-
tiny against those on board, who at the
same time entered charges of filibuster-
ing against the eomnlandeF. The result
Of the whole matter is that the vessel
was delivered 10 the United States Con-
sui. Spanish war vessels are watching
the movements of the Stewart. -.

The above received very general circu-
lation after its first appearance in the
APPEAL, being honOred among other
papers with a place in the CosDlOpOlitols,
published in London, and edited by Col.
Hiram Fuller, for many years editor and
proprietor of the famous New York
Evening Mirror. Colonel Fuller, man
of fine literary taste, in presenting "The
Dead COnfederacy" TO the British pub
lie, made the following handsome no.
tice, which we publish as proper in
dorsement of our poets merit: % In a
former number we published touching
poem from the pen of a valued friend,
entitled THE Lost Cause full of in
teTest, and breathing hopeful signifi-
canoe that cannot but have its influence
in the quarter where its authors sym
pathies and many of his tenderest. asso-
Citations lie. We publish this week, in
another column, poem bearing the
above title, which has been sent US
by the friend above alluded to, with
the information that it is from
the pen of daughter ofthe late Senator
Borland. 1t is with a feeling of pride
and sadness that we present this poem
to the British public-where, although
the subject is among the things of the
past, its beauty will find a ready appre-
citation. 1t is touching, tender, chaste,
classic, beautiful We are glad to take
this young author by the hand, andwel-
come her among the ranks of the poets.
We regard this poem as one of the finest
rythmic tributes that has yet been paid
to The Lost Cause. and its. spirit of
tender resignation, the eart-brokenness
of its entire utterance, can not but touch
the very souls of those whose sympathies
and associations induced them to look
upon that cause almost as a crime. The
devotion of the Southern wCmen to the
Confederate cause was something ex-
eeeding belief, and now that the cause is
dead it will not, we hope, challenge un-
worthy criticism that we seek to snatch
this last wall of their sorrow from the
dangers of unappreciation and oblivion,
and place it where it ought to be, among
the lists of those gems of poesy which
should never be forgotten"

There is authority for denying the
truth of the statement that President
Grant, in conversation with an Ohio Re
publican Congressman recently, said in
case of his reelection he intended to
make a general change of office-hOlders
throughout the country, and as rule
he did not believe that any person who
held Office during one administration
should be retained during the succeed
ing one, but it was simply justice TO keep
all faithful officers until they had served
four years. 1t is denied that the Presi-
dent ever held such conversation.

the construction of an inter-oceanie

as eminently practicable, and be thought
1t very important in view of the fact
that the present commercial routes are
inadequate to the growing needs of
