Coming Events.

We often hear the name of that
accomplished gentleman, Gen. J. d.
C. Atkins, of Paris, mentioned in
connection with the race for Con-
gress in the 7th district. His expe-
rience, ability and tact as a public
man, will render him formidable
competitor 20 who ever may run
against him. In the same district,
the name of A. II. Rhodes, Esq, of
Lexington, is mentioned with high
favor. If personal cleverness,
coupled with industry and pluck
will avail anything, we undertake
to say Rhodes will make ths race
lively one, if he consents to enter it.

OLD AGE.-Beautiful is old age
beautiful as the slow-dropping mel
low autumn of a rich glorious sum
mer. In the old man, nature has
fulfilled her work; she loads him
with her blessings she fills him
with the fruit of a well-spent life;
and surrounded by his children and
her children, she rocks him softly
to the grave, to which he is follow
ed with blessing. God forbid we
should not call it beautiful. There
is another life. hard, rough, and
thorny, trodden with bleeding feet
and aching brow, the life of which
the cross is the symbol, Il battle
which no peace follows this side of
the grave; which the grave gapes TO
finish before the victory is won; and
strange that it should be so, this is
the highest life of man. Look
back along the great names of his
tory, there is none whose life has
been other than this.

The ShelhyVille Rescue takes the
WING AND TRIBUNE to task be-
cause it says we are opposed to the
reelection of Gov. Brown, because
he has announced himself "demo-
crat," and in favor of Convention.
Only three or four weeks ago, we
suggested in very plain terms that
Gov. Brown ought to be his own
successor, and we have at no time
since-or Differentiated syllable
to the contrary. When it comes to
be so that we cannot utter any sem
timent we may holdin regard to the
holding of political convention or
any other subject, we shall cease to
edit newspaper at once, and retire
to private life, to recruit our moral
constitution. The Rescue had bet
ter do so at once.
BY the way, the article Of ours
which the Rescue comments on, had
no reference to the Gubernatorial
canvass, whatever, but to the Con-
gressiOnal canvass.

STATE CONVENTION.

1t is now evident that n State Con-
vention of the Democratic party
will be held at Nashville, Oh the 9th
of May. The executive committee
has refused postponement for va
rious reasons, and these reasons, if
made public, would in our opinion,
satisfy nearly every one that the
calling of the Convention was Meth
err premature or unwise.
However, it is not our purpose to
discuss this point. The certainty
that the Convention will meet,
should bestir our local organiza-
tions, and bring about the appoint
ment of representative men to Nash
Vile as delegates. Whatever the
convention does should at least have
the endorsement of numbers, and it
were better that it should be an inn
posing demonstration than "beg-
carly account of empty boxes."-
The convention may make no
nomination for Governor. When
it has met the situation will be bet
ter understood, and a different phase
of the political outlook may be pre-
Sented. This is a progressive day
in politics; and parties, like individ-
uals, must adapt themselves to such
emergencies as may arise.
AS the case now stands, the politi-
cal register foots up a large balance
in favor of Jno. G. Brown as the
coming man Tor Governor. East
Tennessee endorses him unanimous
ly, and the leading papers of Mid
die Tennessee are pronounced and
outspoken in his behalf.
There is some division in West
Tennessee, but there can be no
doubt that the convention lists will
enroll a majority for the gallant and
gifted son of old Giles.
Yet we do not press the point that
he ought to be nominated in May
We do not insist that any one
should be put on the track as
the democratic nominee.
But popular assemblages are in
clined to effervesce--vu lgarly to
"slop over" and it may be that as
the convention will be dominated
over by the friends of Brown, they
will work up his nomination-put
the colors OF our party once more in
his hands, and we will be compelled
to accept, or bolt. We do not ex-
pect to do the latter.

JACKSON AND MEMPHIS RAIL.
ROAD.

We spoke last week of the enthu-
siasm in West Madison for the Jack
son and Memphis Railroad. Since,
we have learned that the work of
raising stock is progressing favora-
bly,; but that there are certain dis
sGnsions and divisions that to some
extent retards the good work. We
are astOnished and mortified at this.
We urged the construction of this
road long before any other through
that section was ever thought Of.
But shortly after we commenced to
agitate the question, other lines were
suggested in different directions.
That these rival lines were founded
in jealousy, and urged only to de-
feat the construction of any road at
at all through that section, is evil
dent from the fact that they are ut
terly impracticable, and if built
would be worthless.
A railroad that makes no great
connections with rival trunk lines,
nor either begins or ends at trade
center, is not only impracticable,
but cannot nor will not be built, and
all the meney expended in casing
about it is simply lost. We will not
presume that this fact is unknown
to the intelligent people ofthe Den
mark country, and hence we are as
tonished at the discussions which
are delaying the construction of
the Jackson and Memphis ROAD
road that begins at railroad center,
and ends at one of the greatest COM
mercial cities of the South; which,
when completed, penetrates the
heart of the State, and brings that
section in communication with both
oceans aud all the great trade CEN
ters. Well do we remember that
every leading citizen of West Madi-
son argued to Us and others that
this road was the one they
wanted, and that if Jackson would
do her duty, they guaranteed that
the people of West Madison would
do theirs. Jackson has done all
asked OF her, and we cannot think
that those who made these pledges
based upon her action, will fail to
meet them. Indeed, upon the faith
of their pledges the subscription in
Jackson was carried, and we met
the argument that Denmark did
not want railroad connection with
Jackson" with these pledges and
assurances of her most prominent
citizens.
As an evidence of the humbugery
and folly of these ''so-called" rival |
roads, we will state the facts in re-
gard to the Denmark, Brownsville, !
and Durhamville road. LIST. Browns
vile has voted $4,000 to be divided |
equally between the eastern and |
western wings of the road. This |
gives to the Denmark wing $25, 200.
End. Only about $4,000 additional |
has been subscribed between |
Brownsville and Denmark making |
in all SSS, 900.
Now, how many miles viii this
build? Why, at $4,000 per mile,
the lO,cest estimate, IL will build
but little more than three miles of
road. How much viii it take to
build the additional thirteen miles t.?
Inst one hundred and thirty thou
sand dollars. Can that amount be
raised? These figures illustrate Il
folly, and fully expose the motive
Of those agitating this road. Their
object is TO defeat the construction
2f any road at all Through Vest
And why? Because they
are content to let the Denmark Sec
ton remain as it is.
