CORRECTION.


Last week in our report Of the result
Of tho Congressional Convention held in
Memphis on the 18th instantwe said that
A. r. Lacey and Judge james Fentress
were beaten in the race So far as this
assertion appsrtains to the former gen.
tleman all is perfectly correct but as to
the latter an error, unintentional on our
part, crept into the article as published.
Judge Fentress' name was Withdrawn
before the name Of Landon c. Haynes
was mentioned, and So cannot appear
that be was beaten in tho convention.
One CT our delegates,J. j. Dupuy, had in
his possession letter from Judge Fen>
tress, written long before the convention
assembled, which was read to the conven-
ton, stating in the most emphatic terms
that he neither sought or desired the
Office, and that it was not his pleasure to
have bis name used in convention with
the position as aspirant for congression-
al honors, and that he would in nowise
consent to have bis name used in con
nection Herewith. StHI his many friends
in the convention chung 10 him against
bis expressed wish, and it was only after
repeated solicitations on the gentleman's
part that his name was withdrawn from
the convention.
Ae this is the first time we have ever
had occas ion to rise and explain" we
hope that both Judge Fentress and our
readers will consider that the error was
one Of the head and not Of the heart

Think of This

To show the universal YaIue=of immi-
grafton, says the Nashville Enterprise,
suppose that Tennessee should induce
100000 migrants to settle on her vacant
lands almost this number~went into
Texas last year-according to Mr..
Knapp's estimate, this would increase
the wealth of The State about as follows :
100, 900 at $I125 apiece as developing
labor, Sll2, 100000 They would bring
on an average 800 each, amounting to
100000 in cash. They would take
one half Of our unimproved land, say 49,
100000 at 50 per acre, $20,000,000. To-
tai, SI42 500, 000-sImply the direct value.
The indirect value, as increase in value
of real estate, general resources. making
markets, etc, would more than equal the
direct value. Let every son of the soil
think of this, and then he will begin to
open his eyes to the great Importance of
upholding every measure tending TO slim
ulate an influx of labor

The Arizona Diamond Excitement
said to be Based Upon Imported
Briliants


Arizonians now in this city unhesi~
tatingIy pronounce the diamond excite
ment now raging in San Francisco a
humbug. They say that the diamonds,
If genuine, are from the African diamond
fields, and were doubtless brought to ean
Fraacisco for the express purpose of
starting a grand swindle In diamCni
stock a few months since there was 4
big story started about diamonds being
found in the aHt~hills IN certain sees
ton of Arizona, and it was reported that
fine specimens had reached San Francis
co. Many persons credited the story,
and were about to rush off to the dia-
mond diggings, but wers prevented from
doing SO by their inability to get any
further news than that furnished in the
first report 4 gentleman now in this
city who was in Arizona ct the time of the
first diamond excitement, informs US that
the story of there being diamonds by the
bushet in the ant>hills in certain sec
| ton of-AFizona was FIRST started by a
German chemist A company vas form
ed, of which the gentleman mentioned
was member, to 90 ont and explore the
wonderful region. After many bard
| ships, and after nearly perishing from
| German proceeded to show his friends
the diamonds, which proved to be Moth
ing more valuable than the eggs of the
ants, which they dug out of the hillocks
with a stick. Until they had seen this
none of the party had discovered that
their guide was demented, so straightg
/ forward was his account of the diamond
fields, and so sensible was his conversa-
ton upon almost every subject. The
| first humbug probably gave some one the
idea of getting up the diamond sell now
raging in San Francisco. Suppose there
are diamonds to be found in ArizQna

GreeleY and the 80 itionist.

1t would be we'll enough for Hon ".
e. Arthur and other Kentucky orators TO
know that Mr.. Greeley is not and never
was an "Abolitionist' in the sense in
which that term is understood at the
South. He was Wing until the disco
luton Of that party, ever honestly and
zealously supporting its nominees. lie
was the lifelong friend of Henry Clay,
with whose views upon the subject of
slavery he heartily sympathized. The
defeat of the great Kenluckian 10 1914
was owing to the loss of the electoral
vote of the State of New York, through
the folly of fifteen thousand votes thrown
away upon James g. Birney, the candi-
date Of the Liberty" or Abolition party.
No one more bitterly denounced this up-
fortunate and fatal diversion than Mr..
Greeley. Ia lS4S he supported General
Taylor, a Shareholder, for President,
against General Cass. the Demo ratio
nominee, and Martin Van Buren,, the
Free Soil candidate. He became Re-
publican on the dissolution Of the Wing
party, and has remained one ever since.
While his writing and speeches show
that he was intensely antislavery in his
sentiments upon that subject, yet be can
not fairly be called an Abolitionist.
Such he never was until the civil war
forced him to be so, as it did the entire
North.

a Railway Accident Explained.

By q recent accident on the New
York and Oswego Midland Railway, a
freight train was completely wrecked
and much valuable property destroyed,
but nc lives were lost. The accident
took place near Oneida, n. Y, while the
train was running at a speed of from
twenty to twenty-five miles an hour on
down grade. The train consisted of tie
locomotive and te nder, two box cars,
then tive empty platform cars, followed
BIZ twelve or fourteen cars loaded with
coal and other freight The brakeman,
a new hand, states that according to
orders on down grades, he set the brakes
on the box cars In front, and had just put
his hand on the brake of the first platform
car when he saw that the second plat
form car was off the track. Ia a mo-
ment more was thrown athwart the track
q general crash ensued, and he jumped
for his life.
Among the reasons assigned for the
accident was the stereotyped one, "brok~
en- rail" also slipping of wheel on its
axle; also dropping down of a brake.
But Mr. Alfred Hawley, superintendent
of the Oneida Community machine shop,
who made careful examination of the
/ track and remains of the wreck on pur-
! pose to ascertain the correctness of these
I alleged reasons, gives a different report.
! lie found the rails aud road bed in
perfect order, and no indications of a
dropped brake or slipped wheel. fWhat
then was the cause of the disasteri
/ What caused the middle portion Of a
train to leave the track on straight
level, well lined, we'll ballasted portion
of the road? We are convinced says q
! correspondent of the Oneida CirculGr
shat the accident was caused by an inn
proper application Of the brakes to the
forward part of the train when running
at high speed" He thinks that the
checking Of the front part of the trair
caused the heavy rear cars to crust
against the light platform cars and, If
them from the track; and with this OPin'
ion, probably most railW ay people viii
agree. The same correspondent take
occasion TO observe that many Of GU
railway accidents are due to the incompe
tency, carelessness or ignorance of rail
way employees; and with this view, al
most everybody will coincide.

Judge James Fentress.


Speaking Of the resignation OF Judge
James Fentress, Chancellor of this Diyis-
ion, the jackson Plaindsaler says:
We deeply regret the resignation of
Chancellor Fentress, and we believe both
the bar and the people will regret it.
The high and just bearing of Judge Fen
tress-the faithful manner in which he
discharged the duties of Office won for
him the highest admiration. We feel
mortified that the salary of this impUr>
tant Office is too meager to command the
services Of A first class man, and trust
that it will in some way be increased
We trust that the bar of jackson Will
take proper notice of the resignation of
Judge Fentress. TIE kind feelings Of
this community will follow him what
ever path he may choose in the future.
The press throughout the Division ex-
press, with one accord, the sentiments
expressed in the above paragraph.

seasons past, | now feel fully assured that
| can give perfect satisfaction 10 all who
may want to purchase Press. ] viii

for 5000 cash, and guarantee each Press
to work we'll l Will also sell t'tr,

terms.
| claim for my invention over all other
presses this: that my gripping blocks
used in pressing are cast in solid blocks
with steel points therein, which grips the
upright iron bar as soon as the power Is
applied, and holds fast As soon as the
power is taken off the blocks viii slide
down the bar perfectly losse, ready for
renewal Of hold, virtue which no other
press has The steel points mentioned
can be taken out and put in at pleasure
by any common smith in the country.
The IL IT that ! use Is the common
straight leaYer, applied direct to the grip
ing blocks, which forces the follower
down on the cotton with great force and
without friction. The working of the
gripping blocks on main bars forms a CONS
piete rachel as natural as though they
were cast thereon, rendering It safe from
slipping Ny follower is run up and
down by rope and windlass, so arranged
as to work very easily.
