TIE GREAT QUEsrIoH.-Gen.
Cummings informed US on Monday
last, that wherever he went he was
asked "how about the Dog Tax"
The truth is that the rich keep no
dogs, and the poor are the ones who
are to be dog taxed to meet the
views Of the logged bondholders. -
During 1871, the funders stuck the
lancet twice into the veins of the
people. and they brought blood, and
came near killing the people Now
they say we wont stick the blade any
deeper-we want still more blood by
200, 600 for 1872, but we will make
the pupctures all orer the body, and
so get more blood without making
the sound any deeper. 1t is a God S
pity we have not some way to bleed
the flinders.

SHELBY.

On Friday the 22nd ult., the Bris-
toll board of Alderman had the bones
of Gen. Evan Shelby shoyeled up
from their scventy-scven years
interment. From the manner in
which it was done, one would not
have suspected that hero was being
disentofhbed. But we are told that
Shelby 'cas a hero. Evan Shelby
was in the military service of Virgil
mia, was a Captain of Rangers under
Gen. Braddock, and led the advance
under Gen. Forbes when Fort Du-
Quesne was taken by that officer.
In 1874 he fought the battle of Point
Pleasant. In I779 commanded the
Chickamauga expedition, and was
thereafter General of the Militia of

Democracy subIiEna:cd.

We are asked TO give oar views Oh
the Tennessee movement. Here they
are! We think democracy should be
perpetual, and that to disorganize The
democratic party would be to with
draw from the front Of radicalisin its
only menance. Nothing short of the
corruption Of the party should sug-
gcst its dissolution. At present We
90 not believe that the democratic
party is Of dSelf sufficient to defeat
the radical party. We would there
fore do what the Ne,rS has heretofore
done. stand aloof from national poll
tics and leave the northern people to
undertake tie overthrow OF the great
corruption which has arisen in their
midst to such proportions that it has
ovcrshadowe1 the whole land
Whenever a sufficient opposition to
Tadicalism shall have shown itself in
the northern states, and shall have
developed some strength, We are
prepared to aid it in striking mortal
blow at common enemy of mankind.
We utterly fail to sec the necessity
for this effort at 4 new shuttle and
deal Of the political cards. We en-
terrain belief which amounts to con.
victioE that for lis to participate in
the Cincinnati movement will be to
ensure its DISASTROUS defeat. The
northern people owe it to them
selves to repair the great wrong, and
they should be content if the south.
ern people stand firm and simply car.
ry their own banner proudly into a
fight to aid them. We carry the
democratic flag, and let tie battle be
over whatever issue we choose to fight

should let the new movement alone

Our Richmond correspondent is
pretty pointed in his structures on the

Col. Flournoy las succeeded in chang
ing his charter so that he can pass to
Che South of Washington and Smith
Counties, and we are told that he
says he has done so to force those
counties into subscription to the en-
terprise. We beg leave TO state that
these Counties need something rather
more substantial to cause them to re.
spond. They simply deserve some
assurance that such assistance, should
they lend it, will secure the road to
them. 1t cannot be said that the
road has yet furnished any such as
surance. Certain parties in our town
who have toiled for the road, are I'M
able TO set pay for their services. We
would feel a personal qualification
IN any thing which would secure :hcm
this tardy act of justice. If Col.
FlournOy can show US solid enter
prise which in order to build this
road, and build it to Bristol, will lack
only the sum asked of Washington
and Smith counties, we will promise
him the support of this Journal in a
movement to obtain it. and we think
We can promise him that it will be

The Louisville md Cumberland
CAD Connection.

The Deputation which visited Lou
isville from Virginia in regard to this
important connection has returned,
and feels confident shat the objects of
its mission will prove perfect sue
cess. One Of the gentlemen who ac-
companied the Dcputation supplies
the following particulars of the visit,
which will bc read with interest:
The condition of things in Louisville
was this The Louisville and Nash
vile railroad company undertook
about year ago (before they knew we
should be ready to come on to Cum
berland Gap from Bristol) large enter
prises in Alabama and West Tennes-
see, which absorbed their cash means.
When we announced our readiness to
come to the Gap they were taken by
surprise, and anxious to meet us, but
unable to do so at once with their
own resources, found it necessary to
appeal to Louisville for aid for the
particular purposeof extending their
Lebanon branch to Cumberland Gap.
On submitting multiplication they
wrote General Mohone TO send on a
deputation to their city, who should
explain the facts of the subject con-
nected with our end of the line and
the general importance of the line
from Louisville TO Norfolk This was
the object of our mission. The Coun-
ell will act next week on theordinancc
s., 600 600 TO the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad company for the purpose
of extending the Lebanon branch road
to Cumberland Gap and thirty days
after the passage OF the ordinance the
people Of the city will vote on it. No
doubt was expressed in Louisville but
that the council would recommend the
loan of credit, aud none but that the
popular vote would be largely in the
affirmative. Immediately on this
loan being voted, the work at Cum
berland Gap will be. commenced.
We found that hot state of antago-
nism had prevailed for some time be-
tween the Mayor and City Council on
one side, and the management of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
company on the other. The mayor
had been n candidate for the presiden-
cy of the railroad. and was beaten by
very small vote. There are many
of the Mayors party who say that the
railroad company Is rich enough to
complete its Lebanon branch to Cum
berland Gap without city aid. There
is no difference of opinion as to the
transcendent and Immediate impor-
lance of those connections. Among
large and influential classes of citizens
there is great enthusiasm of the con-
nection. Gen. Malone made q fine
impression upon the railroad men,
the Council and citizens; and was
himself profoundly impressed with
the value of the field of trade which
the penetration of Cumberland Gap
viii open for Louisville TO the East,
and for our Virginia cities in the
West. His visit there will be fruitful
of great results i'm times ahead of us 10 !

i:he Battle Of Kings mountain IN
1850. re think the Bristol authorir
tics erred in not having public notice
given of the disintermcnt, and we
had hoped that a public reint.rmcnt
with appropriate ceremonies would
have been granted this re. olutionary
soldier. lie was said to have heen a
very gallant man, and he must have
been Z man of intellectual yigor, as
his son Isaac Shelby was at one time

On Friday las. we applied to Sergt.
Jno. McCrowcll for the key of the
Ca!abosc, ard through the courtesy
Of that officer, We were allowed to
view the bones of the veteran of
Kings Mountain. We found them
in a small goods box in the Calabose.
The shape of tie skull did not to oar
mind indicate that mental develop
mcnt which we had anticipated. but
We presume one skilled in Craniology
could have detected compromising
features on its shapes.
The forehead seemed very low and
/ it retreated very much.
We took the following measure.

a point to measure from in each in

MIR. Greeley and the Tariff.

Mr.. Horace Greeley explains in the New
York Tribune how he could put his name to
a platform which says that taxation should
be for revenue only, saying that he asks OF
the Cincinnati Convention no more than
this: That it shall acquiesce in his doc
trire, and the truly Republican doctrine,
that the issue between free-trade and pro-
lection shall be left for settlement to the peo-
pie, district by district, when they choose
their members OF Congress. If the Conven-
ton will treat protection with that much OF
civility, he and his protectionist friends will
be satisfied, he says. It is conceded that
naked free-trade cannot be made the deter
mining question in the Presidential election.
The World and the Cincinnati Enquirer &C
cept the suggested compromise; being in
more concern about Capitalization and the
constitution than about economical truths
which will beat the protectionists out OF the
field whenever they have an .undlsturbed
hearing.

The Law Of Languages.

DR.. Stamm,, at the recent session OF the
Geographical Society in Berlin; spoke Of the
great law observable in history, according to
which the diversity Of languages in the world
is constantly decreasing. The diminution in
the number OF languages and dialects goes
hand in hand with the progressive historical
development Of mankind. He illustrated
his position by a comparison OF the number
OF languages In Asia Minor in the time OF
Mithridates, with those Of Italy, Gaul and
Spain, before, during and after the time OF
the Romans, as also with those Of England,
Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Austria.
or the cultivated tongues Of the present day,
English is spoken by about ninety millions OF
people, German by over seventy millions,
Spanish by hfty-ige millions, and French BY
only forty-fve millions. OF these the Eng
lish has the greatest future, as regards geo.
graphical extension; the French the least,
because stationary. The German will run
the Spanish a close race during the next
century, probably, in. point of territorial
progress. The High German has swallowed
q number OF u%on-viable languages. Amer
lea shows the most striking scale in the
diminution OF tongues. Indian languages
and dialects are daily disappearing before
our eyes.
DR.: Stamm, in conclusion, said that this
same law, which reduces the number OF Ian
guages, contributes powerfully to a general
and more intimate union of mankind.

The Plain : ruth.
From the Nation.

From the Nation.
At last, after some months OF confused Won
dering, there is a more or less general express
sion of belief on the part of our press that the
plain truth about the Alabama Claims difficult
ty is that Mr.. Bancroft Davis has succeeded in
putting US into a very disagreeable position.
So the most Influential and popular Journals
In the country are now saying; aud everybody
knows what intelligent people have been say
ing to each other in private for the last month.
1t ls now openly said that, for want OF lntelli-
gent supervision by the Department OF State,
an unduly ambitious gentleman-whose most
noted diplomatic service previous to bis pre-
paration of our case was the Motley CORES
pondence, unless, indeed, he achieved Inc
Gortchakof correspondence also-has been
enabled to endsnger the peace Of seventy mil
lions: of people; to j~eopardize and dlscredit the
principle of arbitration which we had honored
ourselves by adopting and advancing; and 20
effect these thugs while putting his country
in the wrong. Mr.. Summers speech was, we
suppose, an attempt to express the height and
the depth of our feeling Of diepleasure at The
conduct Of the people, especially the govern
Ing people, of 6reat Britain; Gr. Sumner de-
clared that he never meant money; but to get
the speech Struggled Into q bill for damages
was, as Mr.. Bright has recently said to an
American fIiefd, a piece of '~'attorneyship
ssralher than statesmanshp,n Of which the
credit appears 10 belong to our Department OF
State, and probably to the imperfeclly super
vised Assistant Secretary. The will OF the
country was good 10 make q friendly settle
ment of a troubling question. We are not
afraid to soy that, when the English expires
sion of regret was made, the public generally
supposed Mr.. Summers indirect damages to
have disappeared, and were we'll pleased thai
they had. For instance, In the discussion that
Immediately followed the treaty In our OWL
papers and those of the Provinces, when the
talk was on this very question as to which
government had gained most In the transac'
ton, there was not a word of assumption thai
any claims other than the direct were to be
insisted upon. But soon ZONES MIR. Bancroft
Davis's ''csse," and at once we have every
thing in fog again-a mountain of mist which
no man can gauge, claims that no man car
estimate, upon which nobody wants any
money, which nobody expects anybody to pay
| The country has been kept much in the dark
In this matter, but we think it begins to see
clearly that there has been gross mismanage'
ment. 1t is one more Illustration OF the Ger
tainty with which a nal in a place too higf
for him brings discredlt on those whom hi
represents. The Administration may be ablt
to find a way out; but we wish 1t would So!
