WE give in another column an
account of the railroad speaking at
Bartlett,in Shelby county, Tennessee.
The road here referred to is the one
that is in contemplation from JACK. :
son, Tennessee, in this directio n.
Jackson has already voted $50, Goo
to the road from Jackson to the
Tennessee River, and so soor, as
the requisite amount is raise d in
Henderson and Decatur com titles,
which, we are informed, will be done
this year, the contracts will be IL t out
as far as the Tennessee River. II
will then be only question of time
as to its being built to Columbia, and
on to Shelbyville and McMir lnville.
The distance from jackson to Co
Iumbia is about ITO miles, and from
Columbia to McMinnville, so miles.
The road from McMinnvii;e becomes
necessary to connect the Cincin-
natl road at McMinnV lille with the
New Orleans Road at Jackson, and
will give us the shoI test and most
direct route to both hose cities.

-.st Friday a few disappointed
sore heads met in Fifth Avenue
hotel, New York. to nominate a
Presidential ticket in opposition to
both of those now in the field, and
nominated GRoEsBECK sand OLMs-
TEAD. The convention was COM
posed of insignificant men from sew
eral States in the Union, who claim
to be Liberal Republicans. The
whole affair has resulted in a fiasco.
Of course GRoEsBECK will treat the
rendered honors of the ludicrous farce
with the contempt it merits. Each
day a new State falls in the line for
the Cincinnati ticket which, like
is gathering strength as it
goes, to sweep the Union of the adj
party; and the little
Fifth Avenue freak will net be heard

tain these advantages, but when this
is built, and at every station, only
five miles apart, there springs up a
village, with all these advantages of
society, schools and churches, they
will remain at their present homes,
because they will have all the advan-
tages they have in going to towns
and cities. A liberal policy pursued
by this company will cause handsome
villages to spring up at all the rail-
way stations, thereby inducing the
white population to remain on or
near their present places of resi-
dence, making the whole country
near the read pleasant and profitable.
This is matter of no small moment
and well worthy of serious consid-
Grafton.
My own opinion is that this Com
pany will be able to issue freight
and passenger certificates to all its
stockholders to the amount of six
per cent. interest upon their stock.
Those who contribute their means
to build road should enjoy advan-
tages over those who refuse to aid
in its construction, and this plan will
accomplish that object.
