DESTROYED By LIGHTNING.-About
hair past eleven O'Clock last Thursday
morning, a barn belonging to z b.
Babcock, in the South part of Shalefs-
vile, was struck by li9htning, set on

bushels, and inside were 300 bushels
of old oats, about 60 bushels of I'M
threshed wheat, and from q to %
tons of new hay. Four horses that
were in the barn at the time together
with lot of farming tools, were got

we are pleased to learn has entered
business, in the latter place, with
fattering prospects of success, with
j. c. Smith, Jr., the firm being

no better citizen than Capt. Jarna-

Jarnagin. We cordially commend
this excellent family to the good
people of Jackson, and can safely
recommend Capt. Jarnagin to the
business public as q gentleman OF
the highest integrity, energetic, and
in every respect entitled 10 the high

We clip the above from the Green

The tactics of the Administration
as developed since the meeting oil
Congress is past explanation
When the amnesty bill was up the
other day, Senator Thurman, in q
speech, said:
az find great difficulty in under.
standing this Administration The
President in his annual message re-
commends amnesty, and here is the
Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton),
one Of the chief supporters, de-
nouncing it. The President recon-
mends Civil Service Reform, and
the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr
Carpenter) pours out upon it the
walls of his wrath and his ridicule
l can hardly understand it, but ]
would say that this is the old trick
of throwing a tub to a whale. ]
would suspect that when the Presi.

Reform there is a mental reserVa.

have Amnesty there is a mental
reservation that the Radicals in the

GERRxMANDER.

A paper generally as well inform
ed as the best, is the st. Louis Re
publican, but it puts its foot in it,
when it undertakes to give the ORR
gin of the word Gerrymander. 1t
gives its origin as occurring in
Ohio, in 1910, and says the name
was taken from that of Mr.. Gerry
Mander, a member of the legisla-
ture of that State. There never
was a member of the Ohio legisla-
ture who bore that name; and the
origin of the word is older than the
State of Ohio. The phrase, Gerry
mander originated at an early date
in the history of our Government,
and in the State of Massachusetts,

one of the signers Of the declara-
ton, who was a member of the leg
islature of his State, and the author
of an apportionment bill, which, it
was alleged by his political oppo-
nents, was made in violation of the
rules of justice and convenience,
for his own, and the benefit of his
political friends.

THE MARROW GAUGE.

MIFFLIN, HENDERSON Co., Tenn, !
January, "A, 1872.
MeSSrs. Editors:
As the subject of narrow gauge
railroads is exciting a good deal OF
interest now, send you the inclosed
slip, taken from the Washington
Weekly Star, which you can dispose
of as you please. You doubtless
have learned that our Henderson
Station and Jacks Greek neighbors
are subscribing stock pretty iber-
allh TO bring tho road ny those
places, as the compromise between
the Purdy and Miffiin roads:
MARROW GAUGE.-Ths first mar
row-gauge railway for passenger
travel and freight, construed on
this continent, has been opened and
declared successful. The road is
known as the "DenVer and Rio
Grande," and is now built between
Denver and Colorado City, q dis
lance of seventy-six miles. 1t has a
three-foot track, the rails weighing
only thirty pounds to the yard, and
the maximum curvature is six de-
grees to the hundred feet, the maxi
mum grade being seVenty-five feet
to the mile. The passenger engines
weigh twelve tons and cost only 81
800, and the freight engines fifteen
tons, costing $500. Expense per
mile of building, as equipped, is
Sl3, 800, which on account of high
transportation, charges of material
from the east is greater than the
cost of similar road would be in
this part of the country The esti-.
mated cash cost of such a line here
is from $4,000 $10,00O.-N. Y jour,

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
We, the undersigned. disregard

laying aside all mere partisan pre-
JUDGES, and believing that the con-
dition of the country demands such
a course, do hereby pledge ourselves,
each to the other, to unite in an ear
nest and peFsevering effort to sprO-
mulgate and disseminate through
out the whole country the following
principles, which we deem vital TO
! the existence of this Government as
a free and independent Republic,
and under such a name as a maj
| " may hereafter adopt, when a per-
manent organization has been effect
| ed:
l Tue only legitimate purpose of
q tariff is TO provide necessary reYe-
nue..
?. The support of the Constitu-
ton as amended, and the protection
of the rights of every citizen under
it.
3. Universal amnesty, and the
restoration of fraternal feelings and
relations among the people Of the
different States.
4. A steady return to gold and
silver as the only sound and safe ba-
sis of currencies.
>. Opposition to the present eau
Gus system in legislative bodies as
corrupting, dangerous, and at va
rance with the spirit of our insti-
tutions.
s. The inviolate maintenance OF
the public faith.
7.kThe abolition of the demoraliz-
ing "spOils system" by a thorough
reform of the civil service.
s. Opposition to all secret politi-
cal societies, and to violence and law
Iessness, whenever or by whomso.
| ever committed.
%. And that as our country pro-
crosses, the General Government
should more, and more, within the
limits of the Constitution, be con.
fined to that which is general and
common to the whole people; and Il
each State should belong the car,
and supervision of all that is fairly
reserved to it.

what Does Il asan!

We learn that the Memphis and
Knoxville airline (or Bolivar) Com
pany are soliciting subscriptions in
Henderson County upon the grounds
that their road is to go through the
lower part of Henderson county and
touch the Tennessee river at Saltil-
10 or PerryVille. How is this Does
not their charter require them to go
to Savannah? Have they.not induced
the people of McNairy and Hardin
to believe they intended to run their
road through Pardy and Savannah !?
and have they not elected directors
from McNairy and Hardin? What
does this new movement mean !?
Surely their object cannot be merely
to defeat the subscription in Hen
derson to the Jackson and Tennessee
River road. This we are unwilling
to believe is their object. If Jack
son votes against the subscription
there is danger that this route may
be adopted by them in preference to
| the Savannah route. But we assure
our friends ia Henderson that their
only chance to get a road through
their county, with branches extend
ing North and South, is to unite
with Jackson on the End of March,
and we can get road. We have no
objection to eur Bolivar friends
building a road where ever they
choose; but we think they should
not hold out promises to two differ
ent lines, unless it is done openly.
Jackson intends to do her part to-
wards building a road to the Ten
nessee river, and we believe Hender.
SON will join US. What say Pnrdy
and Savannah to this new move
ment? Is it real, or merely for a
purpose?
Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1872-02-10
Iack.en and rsmphl. Rallroaa.

Some of our business men, we
learn, entertain the idea that q road
direct to Memphis will injure them.
We ask them to consider the facts
we will present and then say II their
fears are not groEndIess. Browns
Vile has been for some years on
direct road to Memphis and distant
from that city only Sc miles; Hum
boldt is on direct road TO Memphis
and is distant only 81 miles. Both
of these places have grown, and
their business has increased with
rapidity truly astonishing since tbs
direct road to Memphis was built.
Why should it not be the same case
with Jackson? II is true business
has sprung up at Bartlett and Ma
sons Depot, but BrOwnsv lille has
gained more than any OF them.
| Columbia and Pulaski in Middle
| Tennessee are on direct road to
Nashville, one AZ miles, and the
! other IS miles distant from that
city. Since the railroad connecting
them with Nashville has been built,
their business has been doubled.
We can sell dry goods and groceries
as cheap in jackson as they do in
Memphis, and we can get as much
for cotton. We will get when this
road is finished a large portion OF
trade from the Western part of
Madison, the Northern part Of Har-
deman and from Fayette County,
that we now do not get at all. We
will get five or ten thousand bales
of cotton each year that now goes 70
other markets, and therefore we say,
! dismiss such fears. The real danger
Is that if we lose the road our trade
will be taken from US by having the
roads built around and not through
our city. A road passing through
Bolivar and Henderson Station to
Perryville on the Tennessee River,
might injure US seriously. We can
now save ourselves and cause our
city to grow and our business to in
crease. Will we do it? We are sat,
isfled Jackson understands her in,
terests and will protect them. All
should go to work and thore should
not be a vote cast against subscrip-
| ton

RADHCALISA.

There is a great cry on the part of
the one or two sickly radical papers
in Tennessee, over the fact that the
taxes in this State were raised from
forty cents under radical rule, 10
sixty cents under democratic rule.
This, if done for the purpose of
paying the legitimate expenses of
running the State Government,
would be legitimate; but when the
increased tax was levied to pay
State Indebtedness, incurred under
radical rule, and to avoid the neces-
sity of Republication, every honest
man in the land can see with what
propriety these radicals raise the
hue and cry against Conservative
legislation, for the increase.
