THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN RAILROAD


The discussion in Cincinnati over the
proposed Southern railroad is growing ex-
exciting. The Ga.etto noticing the charge
that to buildit would cost the city from ten
TO twenty millions of dollars, and discuss
sing the opposition recently developed
says @ H...
We are quite confident the great Southern
road will be built. upon what principle We are
not prepared to say, but il will be built in such
a way that it will not cost the city of Cincinnati
completion, the city will bound forward in the
race for supremacy among the cities of the Ohio
Valley.
The Commercial seems rather unfavor-
able to the project. 1t publishes, however,
letter from General Rosecrans, in which
he gives it as his opinion that the road
could be built for less than thir-
teen thousand five hundred dollars per
mile. It also publishes letter from Il. A.
Ferguson, Esq, the author of the bill em-
powering the city to subscribe ten millions
to build the road, in which he gives it as
his opinion at.under the law, the city
could not give bonus to a company agree
ing to build the road. The grant of pow
er is specific, he says, and must be used
precisely as delegated. The opposition to
the road seems even stronger now than
when it was originally proposed.

TRUE EDUCATION,


The free school system, though it has
been in operation only about four months
in this city, has commended itself to the
people of Knoxville Notwithstanding the
strong opposition originally encountered.
It is n triumph of merit alone, and is so
regarded by all. The late foes Of free
schools If not now its friends, are at least
silenced by the great good already accom-
plished and to follow with more liberal
provision for its support, and no longer
venture to oppose it.
At the meeting of the City Council on
last Friday night, Alderman q. w. Ross
offered the following, which we are graft
fled to state, passed without a dissenting
voice:
WHEREAS, 1t has been demonstrated in the
experience of the past few months that tho pub
lie schools of our city are acceptable to the peo-
pie Of Knoxville, and are of great public bene-
fit; and
insufficient to maintain the schools the required
time, therefore,
Reeolred, That it is the sense of this Board,
and that we recommend to our successors, that
they levy for the coming year q tax OF two mills
on the dollar ....
Mr.. Ross deserves the gratitude of the
friends of education for his efforts in be-
half of the children of the city, and we
hope the citizens of his Ward will send
him back to represent their interests in the
Board next year. Mr.. Ross's colleagues,
in supporting the above resolution, have
also put themselves squarely on the record,
and we hope their wishes will be faithfully
carried out by the new Board. The vote
last Friday night will be one they can
point to with pleasure in years to come,
when free schools will be as permanent an
institution with us as others of really les
importance which are now considered in
dispensable,

OUR EAST TENNESSEE ARTICLES.

The Legislature provided for Bureau
of Immigration but gave it little to work
with. A few dollars spent in this direc-
ton would have been worth something to
the people. In the absence of any organiz
ed effort on the part of the State we think
it would be well enough to do something
as n city. We are glad to report that we
are so much encouraged with our eff
forts that we propose to continue our
"Facts About East Tennessee" another
year, or until the work is completely done.
We have received more letters of enquiry
about our section, and more subscriptions
for our Weekly during the past three
months than ever before. Our standing
advertisement in the daily and weekly
Tribune, which reaches every section of
the reading world, brings us letters every
day from every section of the Union, and
enables us to say from the best possible in
formation, that never before has 50 much
andsuch widespread interest existed i'm ref
erence to East Tennessee. 1t does seem to
us that some effort ought to be made TO
turn to the advantage Of our city this
general interest The class of men look
ing here for homes are generally men of
intelligence and means-the very class we
so much need The Western States spend

BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.

The laboring classes in America are the
great foundation for our prosperity and
the hope of our future. They are the ba-
sis upon which the whole structure of So
ciety rests. 1t is the boast of our institu-
tions that their condition is prosperous
and their future just what they they them
selves choose to make it. The proposition
of Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,, to organ
ize q Labor Bureau, whose duty it shall
be to investigate and report upon the
wages, general condition and prospects
of the working classes of the United
States will become law and
the result of its labors will be to
show to the world the true independence
and the general prosperity of the Ameri-
can mechanics. Every movement to adj
vance their interests meets with our hear
ty support. We know that with an intel
ligent, honest laborlng class our country
must grow and be peaceful
The Locomotive Engineers of the United
States, after the holiday recess, will present
to Congress an application for legislation
to enable them to establish II lnterna-
tional Division of their Brotherhood.
The objects they have in view are clear
ly put forth in the third section Of the &C t
which reads as follows:
"The object and purpose of said incorpora-
ton shall be TO aid its members to become more
skillful and efficient as locomotive engineers
to elevate their character as men, to raise funds
to assist such of their members as may be sick
or disabled, and to afford such aid as may be
appropriated for the relief of the families of de-
ceased members; but the Grand International
Division shall have power to prescribe general
rules and regulations for the disbursement of all
funds raised in pursuance of the provisions oil
this act"
Among the proposed incorporators we
notice the name of T.. ID. Anderson, of
Tennessee. With the objects of the as
ISOLATION we heartily concur, and we trust
Congress will do everything practicable to
further their wishes.

THE Nashville Banner gives up the con
test for 1872 in this STYLE:

Without coalition between the liberal Re-
publican and the Democrats, the chances are
unmistakably in favor of the reelection of
President Grant, as the political aspect now pre-
sents itself. There is no doubt obout that Diff
fer as we may upon other points relating to the
near political future, the public, North and
South are pretty much of one opinion on that
score. The odds are as decidedly against even
the remotest possibility of his defeat by
straight Democratic nomination or by the nom
ination of an influential Republican, selected
By the Democrats, per Sc as their file leader,
with what Carl Schurz would style, 1.-The Dem
ocratc label on his back"
1t proceeds then to say that the only hope
for the Democracy is to fuse with the re-
form movement and organize general ma
tional reform party. We have heard of
the play of Hamlet with Hamlet
left out and wouldn't this be n
play of reform with honesty left out ? The
sleeps garment of reform, or disaffected
Republicans, is hardly long enough to so
cover the wolf features of Democracy as
to deceive the people.

ONE of the most interesting portions of
the testimony ELECTED by the Compression
al and Judicial investigation Of the
"Black Friday" New York gold opera
tions of Jay Gould and Jim Fisk was the
very strong, direct and circumstantial evil
dence drawn from Jay Gould of the hon
esty of General Horace Porter confiden-
tial Secretary to the President. Jay Gould
details at great length his repeated deep
and tempting plots to induce General Por-
ter to take an interest in their gigantic
"bull" movement on the gold market. He
testifies that he offered him what would
have amounted to fifty thousand dollars and
in such manneras would have perfectly pro-
tected him from exposure. Yet he says
all his plans failed. Gen. Porter steadily
refused all propositions and resented all
advances, though at the time he knew not
what the ultimate object was. In view of
this evidence of his integrity the recent
wild charges made by Democratic papers
and publishers in this city that he has
been dividing with alleged extortionss in
the New York custom house, will hardly
receive serious attention. tt.

A memoir of Col. Uulric Dahlgren, by his
father, the late Admiral Dahlgren, has just been
published in handsome volume in Philadel-
phia, and may be found in all the book stores.
Col. Dahlgren was one of the most gallant
young officers of the war. He was not yet
twenty-one when by gallantry and talent he
had earned the rank Of Colonel. He was killed
early in March, 1864 near Richmond. He was
riding in front of his men and was shot by a
party of rebels who were lying in wait for him
in ambush. Admiral Dahlgren's memoir is at
once most interesting biography of this heroic
young soldier and valuable contribution to the
history Of the Tar.-N y. Sun.
Col. Dahlgren came nearer capturing the
rebel capital in his celebrated raid than any
other officer, until the grand finale in 1865,
when the surrender of the Southern ar
mics took place. 1t will also be remem-
bered that his corpse was treated with the
greatest indignity by the captors, be-
ing stripped and exposed to every eonceiv-
able insult that fiendish malignity could
suggest. The perusal of this memoir can
not fail TO be interesting.

AMID the conflicting reports of the trou-
bles in Arkansas, we can scarcely arrive
at any satisfactory conclusions as to their
extent or character We know very well
how such disturbances are generally eXag-
gerated and misrepreseuted. The channels
through which the information comes is
extremely prejudiced against the colored
people, and little pains would be taken to
Investigate the reckless rumors generally
flowing from such affairs. But the DEM
ocrauc press Of the South ought not to be
so terribly shocked ut such outbreaks.
They are the legitimate result of the nu-
merouS outrageS, inflicted by the infamous
kukluX organization. For years this band
of masked villains has inflicted its scourg-
ings, murders and crimes Undesirable
upon the defenceless cOlored people. These
bands have gradually driven the negroes
| from the plantations and homes to the
towns and cities for protection. They
| have pursued them relentlessly and as vet
nave never been confronted by these eXaS-
! perated and prosecuted people. We saywe
have not as yet, that reliable infor-
nation concerning the Chicot troubles
| upon which we can base a fair judgment
| but even granting that the blacks have
| committed acts of violence, we say they
| have abundant precedent Though not, of
| course JusIlIlcaIloh) IN IIle acIlon OF the
| whites towards them. We trust the au-
| thorities in Arkansas or at Washington
may promptly investigate the case, and if
the colored people have done wrong,
promptly punish them. If the whites are
wrong, we hope for once they too may he
punished. We are no apologist for law
lessness, on the contrary we favor summary
means for suppressing it and furnishing it
in every case. What we desire to do now

and apologists for the outrages of the ku-
klux that it does not become them to shout
so Indignantly over the Chicot troubles, fol-
such disturbances are but the offspring OF
their own villainous acts, long, long en-
dured, and, az yet, unpublished.

CERTAIN Democratic papers and poll
ticians clamored long and loud for the pub
LEGATION of an itemized account of the ex-
penses of the Congressional Kuklux Com
nittee, when its chairman asked for an
account was cheerfully and promptly fur
nished. They have nothing to say about
it now, and this is the good reason they
thought it would prove good campaign
document for their party, but it turns out
that the Democratic members OF the com
mittee naade the heaviest bills and got the
most money. Mr.. Beck leads off with
81 ,2O9 so; next In amount is Mr., F. T..
Blair, who drew 81 ,052 50; and the third
il Mr.. Van Trump, who was paid 81 Gao.
Senator Scott, the Chairman, drew SIP 80,
and the other Republican members from
three hundred 10 one thousand each. The
heaviest bills paid by the committee were
for reporting the testimony, which cost
Sl054l.

Iris stated that Gen. Schenk's withdraw
al from the Emma Silver mine was made
at the suggestion of the State Department.
We hope not, as there was no improprie-
ty in the relation. If our country supper
ted an army of Lords, Earls &c. We
might expect our public men to retire
from business on accepting public position,
but az long as we do not half pay them we
can see no improperly in their engaging
be. Gen. Schenk is an honest, able man
and we would rather trust to his idea of
right and propriety than to pay attention
0 the opinion of Engligh snobs.
