Memphis and Knoxville 3. R.

H Impending negotiations should termin.
ate fayorably and there is good reason
for supposing they will, this important
road will be put under contract immedi-
ately from Memphis to Bolivar, and Jack
son. Additional subscriptions to the
capital stock Of the company are being
made in Shelby, and it is confidently ex
pected that Memphis,-ever alive to her
own interest-will not be found wants
2 ing in her duty to this purely home enter
prise. The Memphis and Knoxville
railroad, designed to traverse the centre
Of the STATE, through by far the largest
section thereof, destitute of railroad ia
eilities, especially the facilities furnished
by an east and west road, cannot fail to
add to the business and wealth Of Mem.
phis many times the amount she will be
called upon to subscribe.
1t is also expected that Fayette county
and the town of Somerville, will contri-
butte literally towards the construction
of this road and we have no doubt that
should propositions for a tax for this
purpose be submitted to the people of
Fayette, uninoumbered with the embarras
sing and worse than useless condition at
tsehed to the last proposition, which
they probably not unvisely voted down :,
tax can be carried and the road built to
Somerylle within twelve months, and to
Bolivar and jackson in eighteen months.
This narrow gauge road, economically
constructed and operated, will furnish
transportation at less than one half the
cost now charged for freight and passage,
1t will bring into market hundreds of
acresof good land, now lying idle, for
want of labor not exactly lying idle, for
much Of it is washing away, and yearly be-
coming of less value. When we consider
the faer, that this railroad viii add sever
al times the amount required to build it,
to the value of the land through which it
is located and the more important fact
that stock in a narrow gauge railroad
built and opperated at one half the cost
and at the SAM time capable Of dong alt
the business broad gauge road can do,
cannot fail to be a safe and pr4feable in
vestment, we are somwhat surprised that
it should require so much labor and time
te raise sufficient subscription to build
such road Let all those interested
take the matter into consideration at once
then DO with out further solicitation
what their judgement tells them is their
duty, and our word for it, they will coon
see the steam horse travelling over the
Memphis and Knoxville railroad.

Judge Baker will Sing for Gree'ey.

Our interviewer met Judge Baker, of
Yincennes yesterday, and informed him
that Col Allen had stated that at least
half Of the Republicans in Cnox county
were in favor of the CINCINNATI nominal
tons, and that he (tbe judge was en-
titled to the distinction of being the only
Democrat in that county who did not 80
for Honest Old Horace.
The Judge IS a fine story-teller, and
proceeded to explain his position by the
following good enc. s't t.'.
"Oncc there was good old Baptist
preacher whose Gus tom it was every
Sunday morning on entering his pulpit
to open his well-worn bymn-book at ran-
dom and read the first hymn that caught
his eye. Some wicked boys one day got
hold of his hymH-bo0lz and passed in q
leaf containing that famous but not very
orthodox hymn, "OId Father Grimes.
Next Sunday morning, the good parsOn
entered his sanctuary, carefully adjusted
his sPectacles, picked up his book, and
read to the 'cOngr egation:
'Uld Grimes dead. that good old man,
W me- r shall see him Iaore.''-
He STOPPED, u5bed his glasses, exam
ined his book to see that he had made no
mistake, and proceeded: q"
.-. he used to wear old gray coat. .f.
III buttoued down before
lie then laid down the book, and tear~
fully but firmly addressed the congrega-
ticn:
brethren, I've used that book these
twenty years. / never came across that
hymn before, but it's thar, and us all
right Sing
so said the Judge, ave been a
Democrat a long while, I'D never thought
of such thing as being asked to vote for
Greeley; but if he's IN the book, I'm not
going to stop to enquire how he got there,
bat make the best music I can for him

Send Him Along.

Horace Greeley has been invited
to make another western tour. BY
all means start him. Let him make
love again to our prosperous cities,
declaring at each place that he loves
it better than the one he left be-
hind. Let him hurl few more in
suits at our living loyal soldiers,
and try to cover with infamy the
memory of their dead comrades.
Let him express again his willingness
to aid Secession when the South
shall desire it. Let him tramp
about from door to door begging for
support, and prove himself the polit-
ical pauper that he has been for for
ty years. For Gods sake just let
him come west again on any terms,
and his path will be like the track of
of terrible pestilence to the Democ-
racy, for he wont leave a Greeley
man on the route. Send him out
here by all means.

GOV. sEwARD's VIEWS.
His Endorsement of the Administra-
ton and the Republican Party.

The following letter was addressed
by Gov. Seward to R. P. johnson,
Esq, of San Francisco. In it he
places himself on the record as in
favor of the Republican party and
the present Administration:
AUBURN, Sept. II, 1872.
My DEAR Mr.. JOHNSON: Although
1 have occasion to write much, l am
obliged now to use another's hand.
You will not be surprised, therefore,
to find me an irregular coTespon-
dent. At the moment VIXEN the
country was called to confront the
last civil war, consequence of its
adoption of the policy Of restricting
slavery, was required to take upon
myself a part in the Executive Ad-
ministration. knew then very well
that liberty, constitution and union
were inseparable, and that failure
of the Administration to save them
would consign all concerned in it to
eternal infamy. 1 thought, on the
other hand, that my own part, how
ever humble in the rescue, ought to
be enough to crown loyal ambition.
l knew moreover that I could not
perform that very difficult part sue
cessfuliy without making a sacrifice
of all personal and party prejudices,
and aspirations for after life. I there
fore cheerfully and openly pledged
myself to that sacrifice. l thus Sc
cured retirement from political life
at the end of the struggle which has
become pleasant to me. If any of
my fellew citizens think I am not
entitled to enjoy it for the reasons I
have mentioned they will concede it
to me when they know that it has
now become indispensable to the
preservation Of health IN advancing
years. Now, however, not less than
at any former time, do l think it the
duty of every citizen to leave no un-
certainty to exist concerning the
principles and policy which govern
his vote. I have seen no sufficient
reason to withdraw mine from the
support Of the principles and policy,
which carried the country safely
through the civil conflict, or from
theparty organization and candidates
who REPRESENT them, This must be
my short reply to your long and
ch-esteemed letter.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM II. SEWARD,
To r. ?. JoHNToN, Esq, San Fran
cisco, California.

OHIO 1900
PENNSYLVANIA $4,000
INDIANA CLOSE
GRANT AND VICTORY

We know our readers feel good
enough over the glorious results in
this State and Pennsylvania, not to
have their ardor damped by reverse
in Indiana, even if that should prove
to be the case, though the result is
so close there that it may not be
known for several days which party
is successful.
In Ohio we have met the enemy
and routed them completely upon
the State ticket, having reached q
majority of $4,000. We do not pro-
pose to have our readers wade
through a labyrinth Of figures but
give below the result obtained in the
Districts for Congress.
In the First and Second Districts
the Democracy have defeated Eggles-
ton and Hayes, electing SaylOr and
Banning. But in the balance of the
State we have held our own and
gained one, so that the delegation
in Congress will stand thirteen Re-
publicans to seven Democrats. The
Democracy made their great fight
on Congress, but cameto grief. FOs-
ter's majority in this District will
reach nearly eight hundred.
In Pennsylvania, where the entire
strength of the opposition was
brought to bear against Hartranft,
for Governor, and all the disparag
ing reports that could be manufac-
tured were set afoat against him by
the Democracy, the result proves a
glorious vindication of an upright
citizen, and his majority of 33,OO0an
ample refutation. We have gained
eight Congressman in the State, and
the delegation will stand twenty Re
publicans to seven Democrats. Glory
enough for one day.
In Indiana, the result upon Gov
ernor is so close that it will not be
known for few days whether Brown
or Hendricks is elected. The result
on Congress is a gain of two Repub-
licans and a loss of one, leaving a
net gain of one. Dan VOORHEES,, the
aTan Sycamore of the Wabash
who swallowed Greeley after he was
creased, has bit the dust, being re-
placed by a Republican. The Legis-
lature is Republican, and secures the
return of Morton to the U. S. Sen
ate. The Greeley movement is ef
fectually squelched.
