have been secured 70 build all but two
miles of the road, and this without
borrowing dollar, or imposing a dol
lars debt upon those farther removed
from the immediate benefits of the
road. Such road, built and owned
by few voluntary stockholders and
unincumbcred with debt, can be held
and opcrased for their benefit, or if a
sale be desired, il can be effected on
terms not dictated by embarrassment,
but by its intrinsic value. The increase
of population along the road, the in
creased number of tax payers and the
enhanced value of the lands not sub
scribed to the road, with all the Incl
dental benefits accruing from the en-
terprise, will make it most profitable
Investment to all who have the public
spirit to aid the work and the sagacity
to see its present and prospective i'm
portnucc. if.t
But can the landowners be induced
to take hold of such a scheme? A
clear and forcible presentation will do
much to enlist their sympathy, and
their self-intercst will do the rest, pro-
vidcd the facts and figures carry con-
viction with them. The difficulties
presented by the want of cooperative
effort so characteristic Of the agricul-
tural population, may not be easily re-
moved, still we think that in localities
where a road is needed, the expert
ment is worth trial, and especially in
the absence of any more practicable
means for the accomplishment of the
end proposed. We have avoided dc
tails, intending what we have written
to be merely suggestive, and leaving te
practical experience and executive
ability the task of supplying all that
is needed to fill up the imperfect out
lines of what will, in all probability,
be laughed at as visionary scheme.
We may point, however, to the ex-
pertinent made in the case of the pro-
posed Princeton road, to show that the
scheme is not altogether visionary, and
that if the attempt be made now, to
build the road on the real estate basis,
and extending, if desirable, the area
to four miles on either side of the line,
the scheme can be carried out. But
through such fertile country as that
road would penetrate, a much smaller
area would furnish the amount of cap
ital required than in the supposition
just made--that is, ten dollars per acre.
But if that road is to be built in our
day it must be narrow gauge and with
no reference to any probable connec-
tons that will make it trunk line
As an enterprise for our own benefit,
we want no through line, with Clarks
vile as way station, and terminus

freight. ii must, of necessity, be a
feeder to the Louisville and Memphis
road, but with this place as its nominal

TIE countless number of candidates
all Through the South, whoarc present
ing their claims, to the great distur-
bance of the political elements, ought
to admonish the people that, now
more than at any other period in the
history of the government, the South
requires the services Of her ablest and
purcst men in the Halls of Congress.
The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
mcnts cngrafted upon the Constitution,
by fraud and force, confer upon a
majority in Congress absolute power,
And since that power was conferred
for the iguOblc purpose of enabling a
northern majority to Cypress and in
suit the South, under the sanction of
of violated Constitution, the only
security against such malcvolcnt ty-
ranny is to be found in the ability, in
tegrity and influence of its Rcprcsen
tativcs in the Federal councils.
1t is no part of our purpose to dis
paragc the claims of any aSpirant, but
amid the reckless scramble for Office,
County, State and Federal, we see the
germs of weakness and dcmoraliza-
ton, instead of the unity and strenth
so much needed to resist the cncroach-
mcnts of might over right as well as
to mlintain the authority Of the pco-
pie over the agents of their appoint
mcnt. The mania for Office is bccom
ing serious curse to the people, and
we see not how it is to be rcmedicd,
unless the people, in the rightful OK
crcisc of their authority, make it a
rule to give the cold shoulder TO Office
seekers and mako the Office seek the
man. 1t will provo a wholesome les
son, if, in every case of scramble for
office, all engaged therein shall be set
aside by the people and the office con
lerrcd upon some man Of merit, whose
modcsty and due consideration for
the social and political harmony of
the community have restrained from
pressing claims upon public confidence
oftcncr spurious than genuine, This
line of action is easy provided the
people arc willing Instead of a Con
ycntion at the court house, gotten ur
aud manipulated in the usually Sus-
picious manner of conventions, the
people of each civil district could
easily meet together and express THEN

In answer to those who have asked
how the primary election can be car
ried out, in August, without special
arrangements, as for bona ti,le clcc-
ton, we state that nothing more is
needed than the writing upon the back
of the ticket the name of the man pre-
fered as the candidate for. Congress.
This obviatcs the, necessity for sepa-
rate tickets, and gives no additional
trouble to the officers of the election,
save that Of counting the names en-
dorscd upon the backs of the regular
tickets for county officers and opening
a column for registering the votes thus
handed in. or course none but con-
sentative votes will be counted, and
endorsements upon Radical tickets
if there be any--will be thrown aside
The plan, of a primary election, to
settle the candidacy for Congress, is
generally, approved by the Press Of
the District, and we hope the people
will take it in hand and give it faii
trial. If successful, it will supercede
Conventions, discourage multiplicity
of candidates and keep down the UNI
healthy excitement of heated and un-
profitable political campaigns. Its
success rests wholly with the people
If they are too indolent to take a little
trouble for their own good, or too in
different to care what becomes of the
institutions founded for the protection
of life, liberty and property, no sug-
gestion will profitthcm, and the sooner
they are Invested of the title of SOW
rcigns and made to obey the will of a
master, the sooner they will realize
the destiny which their own apathy is
preparing for them.

Boston In Rgins!!

The Chicago disaster has boon re-
peated, in the city Of Boston. A fire
broke out in large five story granite
building, No. 1891, on the corner Of
Summer and Kingston streets, at 7:l5
P.M., on Saturday, the 9th, and contin-
ued 10 rage until about 2 o'clock on
Sauday afternoon, when the flames
were somewhat checked by the blow
ing up Of several blocks Of buildings
by powder; but the fremcn were
compelled to work until 10 o'clock on
Sunday night. The fire ragged for
twenty-seven hours, and high wind
prevailing most of the time. The
burnt district extends about three
quarters Of a mile in length aud half
q mile In width, in the midst OF tho
business portion of the city. Twenty
or thirty lives it is reported were lost,
and the destruction of property is es-
tlmated at tro hundred millions Of dol-
lars.
