THE soRE-HEAD ALLIANCE.
lFrom the N. X. Heraldl
This alliance is really weak. Mr., Simmer Is
scholar and rhetorican, but he never had
party in his life larger than would fill an omni
bus, and he has no party now. MI Iiumbull was
never heard Of except as an exacting party fol
lower-much given to seoldng and III temper
kind of an old maid politician until he was be-
guiled with dreams of the Presidency, His
published virtues are, by his own confession
about three years old Mr. Greeley has never
had any allegiance to party leader snce Henry
Clay, aud it is quite probable il Clay had been
elected he would have discovered that ho was
given to liquor and cards and dicing.
THE EXAMINATION OF GENERAL PORTER
[FrOm the N. Y. Times
Gen. Porters testimony is verv clear and
straightforward, and completely disperses the
ISLANDERS leyeled at him, and through him ut the
President We do not expect the authors OF
those charges to retract them-that would be the
act of honest men. Nor even to discontinue
them-that would be the part of discreet poti-
Clans But we do expect that the public, which
neither wants to be President nor feels bound
to "break down" a possible candidate for the
Presidency, will dismiss the slander and tho
slanderers alike with a sense of relief that both
have been disposed of by the production of the
simple truth.
THE RECEPTION OF THE JAPANESE.
From the New York Trlburel
The reception of the Japanese Embassy by the
President, yesterday, was a simple ceremonial,
apparently but the event was one Of great sig
nifcance and importance. The arrival of an
embassy at Washington. to negotiate a treaty on
American soil is in such sharp contrast with the
timid and distrustful reception Of Commodore
Perry at Yeddo less than twenty years since, that
we almost wonder if these can be the same peo-
pie. Japan is the same in name, but she has slif-
fered that change which all nations bear who
forsake secluson and let in the light.

We admit that he has been studying the En-
glish language for eighteen years and speaks it
tluently but there are professional courlerB
who carry ladies bandboSe5 over the Continent

than this Senator. He began to crave office about
the time he got into his English grammar, and
he has managed to keep we'll in Office. He was
made Minister to Spain, and failed TO achieve
any remembered reputation in Madrid. He was

OBITUARY..

Melissa Angelina Louisa Shull, wife OF
Isaac J. Shull, and daughter of Pleasant
A. and Julina Brown, departed this life
in Purdy, McNairy county, Tennessee, on
the morning OF the 9Th inst, after long
and painful attack Of consumption. She
was bern the 10th day Of August, 1s45,
and professed religion and Joined the
church in her twelfth year, IN which she
lived Histent member until her death.
She was married the 21st day of November,
1857, and leaves a disconsolate husband
and one precious little boy about two years
old to mourn their irreparable loss Her
frst-born, VIM. B. was born September
18th, 1858, and died in Purdy, the 4th day
Of August, 1869, and preceded his mother
to the land Of the blessed, and was doubt
less there to welcome his dear mother
home. Sister Shull desired much to have
his funeral preached in her hearing during
her illness, but on account Of her extreme
debility it was deferred until after her
death, when in accordance with her re-
quest it was preached in the Cumberland
Church at Purdv, from first
ThessalOnians, fourth chapter, thirteenth
and fourteenth verses, TO an attentive con-
her remains being present, after
which they were deposited in the Cemetery,
to await the resurrection Of the just. I
could but think when husband, father,
mother and brothers were weeping around
all that remained Of Sister ShuI that her
happy spirit, with that OF her dear depart
ed babe, was singing anthems of praise to
Him who bought them with His own blood.
May God grant US the grace required to
enable US all TO meet her upon the shores
Of blessed immortality, where there will
be no more disease and death, for Jesus
sake. T

of the community, shall be returned

sally beloved that no change for the

In the meantime the demand for the lead

Mrs. Tyler, who lived two miles South OF

Uncle Dick Haynes, well known in this

manner.
DR.. Hess has been absent for a week in

among Insurance Companies, it af-
fords US pleasure to call attention to

agents for the "Franklin," located
in Philadelphia, and sound to the

Correct Sentiments.


The following sentiments, express
ed by Col. VIM. J. Sykes, in his
speech at the Courthouse on Tues
day night, will find a ready and
hearty response in the hearts of all
our people. The election is now
over, and we must turn our atten-
ton to the improvement of our
country.
He said we were, perhaps, attach
ing too much importance to mere
political questions. He hoped our
political differences would not pre-
vent our uniting to improve the
country and add to its material
wealth, for, as a country grows in
wealth, it increases in political pow
er. No matter what political party
ever had control of the country, we
could, by wise management and en-
ergetic and united action, make our
country prosperous. He must say
we relied too much on political &C
ton, and too little upon our indus
trial efforts, for relief from impend-
ing evils. He was not only for ig-
noring past issues, but for forget
ting past differences, and uniting as
one people to improve our loved and
beautiful Southern land.

The Boston Fire.


a disastrous fire occurred in BOs-
ton last Saturday, in the very heart
of the business portion of the city,
involving a loss direct and remote,
of not less than three hundred mil
lions of money. Very many of the
insurance cOmpanies-especially cas-
tern companies-are heavy losers,
and some of them will be utterly
broken up by the immense loss. A
space, compactly built, of two hun
dred and twenty-five acres-a larger
space than the original town of
MISUNDERSTANDING nine hundred
and thirty business houses, and six
ty dwellings, was destroyed, throw
ing out of house and home a great
many people, just at the commence
ment of winter.
Vast. quantities of goods, furni-
ture, &C., were destroyed. The i'm
mense stocks of leather and of wool
en- goods in store in the city, were
destroyed, and the price of such
goods will probably be enhanced
throughout the country thereby
The shock npOn the money market
occasioned by this fire, will be seri-
ously felt throughout America. We
hope there will be no panic. The
fire was got under control on Tues
day morning, by the aid of the New
York and other fire companies. Aid
is flowing in upon them from every
portion of the country, and all that
prompt Christian charity can do
to alleviate their sufferings, will be
done at once.

RAILROAD MEETING.
Henderson and East Madison, At
IentiOn!

On Tuesday night a large number
of the citizens of Jackson met in the
Courthouse, to consider the qucs-
ton of the immediate construction
of the Jackson and Tennessee River
and Jackson and Memphis Railroads.
Major W. J. Sykes addressed the
meeting in his usual clear and forci-
bic style, setting forth the danger of
longer delay in a matter of such vi
tai importance. We are proud to
say that feeling Of deep and deter
mined interest pervaded the meet
ing, and that Indifference or doubts
will no longer delay the great work.
Jackson means business! The fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted by the meeting.
Resolved, That the citizen in the
West part of Madison, and all others
feeling an interest iu the cpuSrruc-
tien of the Jackson and Memphis
Railroad, are questcd 10 meet in
Jackson, on the first Monday o: De-
cember next, to consider Tie inter-
est and organize the enterprise.
Resolred, That a Committee. con-
sisting Of Robt. w. Hall, y. Stegall,
Milton Brown. w. w. Gates, RObt
B. Hurt, A. W. Campbell, Abner
Lawler and T. &. Muse, be appoint
ed to meet the citizens of Henderson
county, at Lexington, on the last
Saturday in this month, to consult
together with the view of securing
the speedy construction of the Jack
son, Lexington and Tennessee River
Railroad.
These resolutions speak for them
selves, and we hope will once more
awake the people of Henderson and
West Madison to the importance of
these great roads. Let the people
of Henderson-all who desire the
road-meet our Committee at Lex
ington on the day designated, and
organize and arrange for l0Ork; and
we want to see West Madison
here on the first Monday in force,
for we tell them candidly that steps
will be taken 10 organize, at an ear
ly day, the Jackson and Memphis
Railroad Company, and TO begin the
cork Of construction.
Among the encouraging features
of the m Getting was the assurance Of
one of the largest, most experienced
and successful Railroad contractors
in the country, that he was ready
and willing to undertake the work
of grading the roads, and that he
would begin in January or Februa-
ry, with three or four hundred
hands.
