SIGNIFIcANT.-The following APP
pears in double-leaded form at the
head of the editorial columns of the
Springfield Republican:
In this free country of ours, if a
man don't applaud every act of his
party he is called a sore-head; if he
don't knuckle at each crack of the
party whip he is called disorgan-
izer; if he dares to suggest that
there are as good men out of Office
as in, and that, IN some instances,
the people could be better repre-
sented, he is called a conspirator.A
And yet this is a republic in which
we hvel How much further viii we
have to go before, instead of simply
branding the independent thinkers
and actors of the country with OPP
probrious epithets and social and
political ostracism, we will adopt
the European course of actually
Furnishing these malcontents?

The Great Cincinnati Railroad
Bridge Completed.

The great railroad bridge across
the Ohio River at Cincinnati, has
been completed, and the trains of
the Louisville and CHM. Short Line
r. r. are passing over it. This
grand Improvement will be hailed
by the travelling public with rejoic-
ings. 1t does away with the tedious
and uncomfortable transfer by ON
nibus from Covington to Cincinnati,
and adds additional attractions to
the unrivaled route East via the

Destructive storm at BrOwnivuIe,

ged Mr.. A. Pracht's house. Mr..
Burton's house was blown over,
and Mrs. Burton badly hurt. Also

The venerable Rip Van Wrinkle of
the Tennessee press, who conducts
the sluggish stream of country news
and old fogy-superanuated ideas
that makes up the Wing and ITib-
ls1le, is as bitter on the Democracy
as the mountaneer was on rattle
snakes. A green countryman from
the mountainous portion of Virgin
ia, walking along the streets of
Richmond with huge hickory stick
in his hand, espied in a splendid
show window, and behind its plate
glass a monster rattlesnake. With
out a word to anybody, he broke
the costly plate glass and killed the
snake. The proprietor, frantic with
rage, rushed out of his store and de-
manded an explanation for his
strange conduct. The countryman
drew himself up proudly, and point
ing to the dead serpent, said in SOL
emn tones: 81 alters kills 'em wher-
ever l sees 'em." 1t is so with the
Jackson Rip Van Wrinkle, he strikes
at Democracy wherever he sees it.
Brownsville States.
Before the war, Madison county
was Wing, by large majority, and
Haywood was Democratic. Since
the war, under the lead of the cold
"Snake Killer" Madison is demo-
cratic by four thousand, and Hay
wood, under the lead of the States,
is Enthusiastically and unequiv-
ocally radical! Why this thusness,
o wit and linguist of the Tennessee
press?
We do not doubt that if the States
were removed to Jackson, and the
WING AND TRIBUNE to Browns
vile, for a few years, a different
state of things might be brought a
bout in the two counties. Who
"kills 'em wherever he sees 'em?D

A WILD PoTATo.-Mr. VIM. j.
Alternately, plowed up last week on
his place on Buchanan's Greek three
huge wild potatoes. He brought
the smallest one to town, which
weighed 81 pounds, and left it at
Sumpter g. Lacey's drug store
These potatoes are rarely found in
this country at present, though
many of our old farmers can remem-
Der when they were very common.

other Connections.

s'There is a tide in the affairs of
cities,'' as well as of 'imen, =" (which,
taken at the food, leads on to for
tune" Jackson, at this moment, is
on the rising Glide" of fortune, as
will be seen from the following az
ticle, which we clip from the New
York BelLetin. 1t will be seen that
the Illinois Central Railroad is aim
ing for this city, and viii be here
within the next twelve months:
The Illinois Central Railroad and
it's Southern Connections.
1t is reported that the Illinois
Central cOntemplates a new ar
raRgement which will greatly i'm
prove its connection with New Or
leans, and somewhat change its re-
lations with Southern roads. At
present it depends upon the Mobile
and Ohio for connections both with
Mobile and New Orleans, and to
reach it the steamboat transfer must
be made over the twenty miles be-
tween Cairo and Columbus, Ky
l. HIS zap ~ has DCCn yIOllllsc0 every
year would be closed by an extern
sion of the Mobile and Ohio north
ward to point on the Ohio oppo-
site Cairo, but no signs OF such an
Improvement are yet visible. Mean
while, the Iron Mountain road has
built line down to a point oppo-
site Columbus, established a trans
fer ferry, and runs its cars through
from st. Louis to various Southern
points, unObstructed by .ver block
AIDES, and when the river is closed
below ST. Louis has 4 very large
traffic. The report is that the lii
nois Central may not continue to
depend upon the Mobile and Ohio,
but is inclined to enter into an ar
rangement with the Southern Rail-
road Association, which controls
the line from Jackson, Tenn, to
New Orleans, by which new line
will be constructed from a point
opposite Cairo or Mound City
southwark to Jackson, Tenn, about
one hundred miles, and that this
will become the chief Southern
connection of the Illinois Central
There is no doubt of the practical
bility Of such q scheme, and it is al
together probable that the Southern
Railroad Association desires a bet
ter Northern outlet; but the Rail-
road Gazette thinks there are rea-
sons why it should seek this other
wise than by road from Jackson
to Cairo. Such road, to be direct,
would have to be very near the Mo-
bile and Ohio for it's entire length;
and, moreover, it is not the only
nor the shortest route by which the
association can reach Cairo. 1t con-
trolls the Mississippi and Tennessee
Railroad, which gives it line from
New Orleans to Memphis, and has
an interest in the Mississippi River
Railroad, now in course of cOnstrue-
ton, which will complete linefrom
Memphis to Paducah. At Paducah
it viii connect with the Cairo and
Vincennes Road, which will give 1t
an excellent outlet TO the East and
Northeast, but not to Chicago and
the North. To secure the latter by
way of the Illinois Central 1t need
only construct branch fifty or six
ty miles long from APPOINT near Troy
north to Cairo, which would make
a very direct route, and line south
east from Cairo less than forty miles
long would make a less direct line;
and this line would have the great
advantage of having Memphis on it.

the Reform movement:
While we, in common with a ma
iority of the Southern people, are
trying to care as little as possible for
politics, so-called, we cannot nor do
we wish to repress a natural desire
to see the government of our coun-
try once more in the hands of hon
est men-men who are not heart and
head corroded by greed or section
al hate. Such men would surely
give us all we ask for: constitution
al laws faithfully administered; ami
this we must have if we are to maiE-
tain our free institutions. The tone
of the liberal press throughout the
country, whether of Democratic CT
Republican proclivities, is therefore
gratifying to us, as we think it must
be to the rejecting masses.
We are as far from wishing to see
the Democratic party broken up as
anybody can be; not for any pecu-
liar reverence for the name, nor
from any senseless spirit of ODE
dience to party orders; but because
we think it an organization which
after some publication viii yet find
itself strong enough to give our
country such government as the
best interests of all its people re-
quire. We believe the real disor-
ganizers are those who, knowing
that defeat would be inevitable,
urge the Democracy to enter the
Presidential contest, cOnfiding en-
tirely to its own party strength.

SIX Months VS.. seven Years.

Last week we claimed to have the
largest circulation of any paper pub
lished in the Sth Congressional Dis
trict. This week the Progress
makes this characteristic fling:
"We believe that we now have a
larger circulation than any paper
published in the Sth district, except
those published in Jackson and
Brownsville"
IL is possible that the Progress
has accomplished more in six months
than the Trenton Gazette and the
Union City Courier have accom-
plished in five years, but no news
paper or intelligent mau will be-
lieve it. We stand ready to prove,
at any moment, that, in this Con-
gressional district, Meals State
Gazette has u circulation double
that of the Progress. Before the
recent apportionment we did have
the largest circulation in the Sth.-
But we now yield the palm to the
Jackson Why and Tribune. We
don't pretend to claim that we have
accomplished more in seven years
than that excellent paper has accom-
plished in a quarter of century.
We clip the foregoing from that
capital paper, the Dyersburg Ga
zette of the 9th inst, and are glad
to state the WING AND TRIBUNE,
not only has no rival in this Con-
gressional district, but fears none.
Our circulation is large-we might
say Uery large-and increasing at
the rate of fifty to hundred per
week, and goes steadily forward in
its career of usefulness, notwith-
standing swapping ours occasionally
bark at its heels. They remind us
of the little dog who nightly barked
at the moon-the moon kept shining
on, Notwithstanding his barking.

~As we have said before, we
repeat now, that the WING AND
TRIBUNE is not the organ of any
body for Governor, Congress, Sena-
tor or Representative. We see no
necessity for any great haste in call
ing a convention or in making a
nomination for any of these offices.
Indeed we do not perceive the ne
cessity for any convention at ALL
Let all who want to do so, become
candidates. This is a free country
at least nominally so-and it is the
prerogative of any free man to enter
the lists, and to solicit the votes of
the people. Conventions, at best,
are but packed juries, and generally
make the public opinion they should
be the reflections of.
Let every man who wants TO be-
come a candidate for Governor,
Congressman, State Senator or Rep
resemtatiVe send in his name AND
HIS MONEY, and we will announce
them; and then let the hardest fend
of. Let us have one contest where
"free trade and sailors rights" are
recognized.

for Governor and Congress is only
