THE CROWD AND EXCITEMENT.

All the morning the streets are
crowded with vast throngs of people
moving to and fro. The day is delight
full and the display of bunting from the
public buildings all over the city is u
spectacle of the grandest character. AT
the Academy of Music flags are numer-
ously displayed, extending far across
the streets. The academy was filed
long before the hour for assemblage of
the convention: The delegates were
all seated at about half past ten, enter
ing the hall amid the warmest demon
ctrofiopS of enthusiasm

Legislation Needed.

Under this caption the Memphis
Appeal of Wednesday very trnly
utters the following note of warn
ing, which, in the main, is applica-
bic to other counties besides Shell
by. 1t is therefore commended to
the thoughtful perusal of all who
have any claims against them for
"back taxes"
The Commissioner of Revenue for
Shelby county filed half 4 dozen
more bills in the Chancery Court
yesterday, by which he seeks iudg-
ment for the State against property
upon which the past due taxes are
unpaid. Under DEGREES of the court,
this property will be sold, and a
good title vested in the purchaser,
under an act of the last Legislature.
This will be severe on landowners
who are delinquentS. They can only
avoid these consequences by a spec
dy redemption of their lands before
the Chancery Court acts. The Com
missioner is performing his duty
energeiCally and faithfully. He
NAAN MS eetAOAh ut dA W SIcdu-
lily at the business, perfecting half
dozen or more bills daily. As we
said before, the Commissioner has
no authority TO advertise. He goes
quietly at his work, and the first
thing Il delinquent tax, payer knows,
he gets subpoena TO answer
and the next thing, his property is
sold to pay taxes, costs aud charges.
This sale will not be like ordinary
sales of land for taxes heretofore
made. 1t will confer a good title,
and the land will pass from the pres
eHt owner forever, This is an i'm
portant matter to property-holders
IN the county and city. y man who
knows his name to be on the books
OF the Commissioner ought TO re-
deem at once, and save costs of
court and charges. The Commits
siOner is not authorized to pay any
thing TO advertise these sales. The
good Legislature proposed 10 take
what is known as snap judgment
upon the people; but in this, as in
many other cases of like character,
the press intervenes, gratuitously,
to serve those who do nothing to
serve the press. In fact, the Legis-
lature is particularly parsimOnious.

The southern NIuddIes.

The South was ovcrrun by hos
tile soldiers during the war, and al
most every valuable thing that was
destructible was destroyed or stolen
by the officers or soldiers. At the
close of the disastrous war, the peo-
pie who were overbOrne by num-
bers, accepted the situation and
went to work in good faith to re-
store their fallen fortunes and TO re-
erect their PROSTATE affairs. No
sooner had the generous earth en-
riched by the years of rest, begun
to yield its rich returns for the labor
bestowed, than it excited the cupid
ity of the birds of prey, and forth
with the reconstruction measures
were devised and set in motion by
the greatest set of cormorants the
world ever saw-the carpet-baggcrs
For years the entire South was
cursed by their pestilentiaI presence;
but gradually the States threw off
the incubus, and put their State
Governments into the hands of the
sons of the soil. All the States
were thus restored to their legiti-
mate owners, except South CARROLL
na, Louisiana and Arkansas. These
three States are still cursed by the
most despotic and tyrannous crew
of jackalls that ever hung as a mill
stone about the necks of the people,
dragging them down from depth TO
a still lower deep. At the present
time South Carolina, though at
peace, is cursed by a ruling dynasty
as ignorant and rspscious as any
mentioned in history. The treas
ury bankrupt, the people burdencd
with taxes which it is impossible tor
them to pay; hundreds of its citizens
arrested and carried To Northern
prisons, as kuklux, upon the evil
dence of irresponsible persons, and
no hope of relief, il sight. Louisiana,
with a soil as fertile as the famed
Delta OF the Nile. has been in the
hands of set of interruptions pol
iticians and adventurous; now her
Governor is virtually deposed, arti-
cles of impeachment preferred
against him, and the mulattO Lieu

thority of the State, and supported

eminent. There seems TO be moth
ing left poor, tx ridden, patient
people, but submission to The pow
ers that be. In Arkansas a state
of affairs exists which would make
a demon in PendamOHium howl with
delight. Business of every kind is
uncertain, military Overrides the
civil power whenever occasion re-
quires.
Tne question arises, i there no
remedy for these evils: Ii seems TO
us that if the people of these States
were left TO the management OF
their own aflairs,-as in Tennessee
they would soon right the wrongs
under which they live. But the &C
cursed Vaccinations OF ambitious
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians be de-
feated by such a course, and hence
all the trou BILE which affects these
States.

Re-Districting the state.

One of the duties which the Leais-
laturc will have to perform when it
meets in January, will be TO lay the
State of Tennessee of into ten Con-
gressional Districts, instead, as now,
into nine. The duty is imperative.
There is no shirkingit. We hope to
see the State .tdirIV districted, let
who will be gamer or loser thereby.
Let the territory of each District lie
as compactly and as naturally to-
getber as it is possible. Let US have
no more batteriRg-ram districts, and
no GerrymanderiDg of amy sort. 1t
is due TO fairness and honesty, that
no individual interest shall come
between the members and their
action in this respect. If the laying
the state Off into ten natural and
compact Districts shall render the
entire Congressional delegation rad
zeal or conservative, let it he so. II
the State is radical, it will be radi-
cal II spite of any legislative rascali-
ty; and il it is conservative, ii will
be conservative. Let justice he
done, though both parties perish in
the end. Nothing is ultimately
gained by political rascality.

Federal relations, reported a draft
of resolves relating To Senator Sum-
ner's proposition, as follows:
Resolved by the senate and House
of Representatives in General Court
Assembled, That whereas, the bill
has been introduced into the Senate
of the United States by the Senator
from Massachusetts, providing that
the names of battles with fellow
citizens shall not be continued in
the army register or 10 be placed on
regimcntal colors of the United

the late rebellion; therefore,
Resolved, That such legislation
meets the unqualified condemnation
of the people of the Commonwealth.
Resolved, That the Governor be re-
quested TO forward to our Senator
and Representative in Congress

lating to the army registers and reg

Impossible ThIsgs.

The AUGldRche wants the Legis-
lature, when it meets in January, to
suspend the constitutional provis-
ion requiring the presentation OF a
receipt for poll tax, as q pre-requis-
lite for voting! The Constitution
may be wrong in requiring the pay
ment of poll tax before voting
and if il is, it ought to be changed
but the idea that a Legislature
can suspend a cORJtitutioHai provis-
ion, is something new under the
sun. True, it has done it once-du-
ring the present year-and that mis-
cradle precedent may be pleaded in
favor of another; but it would be
bstter, if the tax is wrong, and the
Constitution at fault, to call another
Constitu tional Convention, and re-
peal that clause of the instrument,
than TO be always overriding the
Constitution, and making its pro-
visions give way to the wishes and
will of men who hold their positions
under its authority. Reform the
Constitution-nOt by legislation.

Jackson Now ana Hereafter.

There are a number Of Railroad
enterprises now in agitation, look
ing to Jackson as q centre. The
Mississippi Central road North OF
this city, it is now confidently be-
licved, will have trains running
from New Orleans TO Milan, by the
middle of February.
The extension of the Nashville
and North Western road, from Hun
tingdon to Jackson, is. naturally,
the next in the order Of construc-
ton, and would give both Nashville
and Jackson an upward bound on
the road TO prosperity which ncith-
err of them seem to be aware Of
Let that road, by all means, be built,
and at once.
The Jackson and Tennessee Riv-
or Railroad, we have reason to be-
lieve, will be running from this city
to Lexington before the first day Of
October, 1S73-we are sure it will
be, if Henderson county, and the
people along the line, who are vital
iy interested in the construction,
will only take hold Of the matter as
they can and ought 10 do. We have
reason for believing that if Hender-
son county will give the impetus of
a county subscription, that her live
men will put their shoulders to the
wheel, and ere another cotton crop
is ready for market, the iron horse
will DC careering over her rich hills
and snorting in her fertile valleys;
and that hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of produce which now
annually perishes for want of a mar
ket, will find an outlet by way OF
Jackson, to the markets of the
world, which will be but too glad to
exchange greenbacks for them.
We do not share in the hopeless
ness which some of our population
seem to feel in regard to the ulti-
mate and speedy building of the
Jackson aud Memphis road. Soon
er or later, necessity, which knows
no law, will compel the construc-
ton of this line of road; and if our
West Madison, Fsyette aud Shelby
county people will only look to the
immense advantages which this
read will open up to them, we
should be in hourly communi-
cation with Memphis, within a
twelve month. We conjure them
! to awake, and at once, to the impor-
lance Of the work before them, and
do with all their might, what their
hands now find to do.
The Jackson, Dyersburg and Tip
tOnville road looms up as one of the
greatest Importance, and we shall
not fail, from time to time, to call
attention to its value to Jackson
and other points interested in it's
construction.
Elsewhere in this issue of the
WING AND TRIBUNE, will be found
the project of a road, direct from
Detroit, on the great Northern
Lakes, through Evansville, Indiana,
to this city. There is gap only a.
bout one hundred and seventy miles
of this road to be constructed, and,
with the other roads we have allu-
ded to, and the erection of the Jack
son and Birmingham Railroad, by
way of Elyton, Ala, to make Jack
son one of the finest railroad CELL
tres on the continent. viii ourp eo-

The objection urged against mar
rOw-gauge roads consists in the fact
that they cannot convey enormous
quantities of bulky freight. The
answer is, that half cars passing
over Southern roads, freight and
passenger alike, are never halffilled,
and dead weight is dead loss. If
freights multiply, SO may cars be
multiplied, but broad-gauge cars
and locomotives only destroy the
track-way, and cost enormous sums
of money.
