Fearful Record.

Sunday after the execution of Foster,
the car hook murderer, nearly every
minister on duty in New York had more
or less to say about his sad fate and the
causes which led him to commit a foul
and atrocious murder. The Rev. Mr..
Aston, of the Methodist Church, in re-
ferring to Fosters case, took occasion to
show with what great rapidity the seeds
of sin produce a harvest of crime, and
gave some late statistics as showing their
agency in producing crime. In the stat
istics for 1872 we find 10000 arrests re-
ported zone year for intoxication, and
5000 grogshops in full blast. DR.. Will
liam Parker, an eminent living author,
said in a speech lately that thirty three
and one third per cent. of all the deaths
in the city of New York were caused by
the use of alcoholic drinks, and that 100,
600 had died in this city in thirty ~eight
years DIR. MarmOn, in the New York
Medical Journal, says for the last ten
years the use of spirits has first cost the
nation a direct expense Of S6OO,OOO,OOU
cash, indirectly, S700, 100000. 1t has de-
stroyed 100000 lives, sent 100000 to the
poor>hOuse, committed 10000 to prisons
and wOFk.houses, 1000 suicides, and a
loss by Ere and violence of $4,000, 900
1t has made 100000 widows and 100000
| cripples. While it pays into the revenue
Of the government 5000, 1000, 900, the
whole cost for educating and preaching
the Gospel is 100000.

Memphis and Knoxville Railroad.
Hatchie Bottom Contract.

1t gives us pleasure to inform the
readers of the BULLETIN that en- last
Monday Genl. R. P Nicely, president of
the Memphis and Knoxville Railroad, let
the work Of building his road through
Big Hatchie bottom, distances of three
miles, to our feliow-citizen, BIZ. John
Warren, to be completed by the Both Of
September next, which looks es if the
managers of this much needed road were
determined to carry out their promise to
take off the next cotton crop on their
trains. Mr. Warren's welI-known ener-
gy is a good guarantee that his part of
the work will be done, and we are much
pleased to see some of our citizens taking
an active part in forwarding this great
enterprise, which was first alluded to by
us some three years ago, and now prom~
Uses to be of incalculable benefit to Har~
deman county and especially to the best
interests of Bolivar.
Ali of the heavy work between Bolivar
and Henderson Station has been let out,
and the contractors are at work. Much
of the lighter work has also been let for
some time past, chiefly to farmers living
along the line, who are working out their
stock subscriptions with a vim, clearly
iAdicating:that they do not intend to be
left out in the cold much longer.
And now a word to the stockholders :
The contractors are at cork they must
hare money to pay their la6Orers, and it
is not only the interest but the duty of
all those who have signed their names to
the subscription list to come forward
promptly and cheerfully with their in
stallments, and thus enable the energetic
and perseVering managers of the road to
complete it in as short time as possible.
Bolivar needs it, so does the coun try, and
now is the time to work diligently and
harmOniously together. If this is done
speedy success is certain.

SMALLPOX

Dr.. J. s. Conrad, physician to the Mas
rine Hospital, Baltimore, abiding to the
great benefits derived from the use Of hu.
manized vaccine matter, says:
1t is only necessary to walk through
the wards Of the hospital to see the good
results Of vaccination Those patients
having one or more good marks scarcely
require to keep their beds at all, whilst
these unvaccinated battle all treatment,
and die at the rate of seventy in the
hundred. Myself and all my nurses are
daily living examples of the value of vac
cination; no one of US has eUer had The
disease, either a spot or a mark of it in
any way, whilst We have been in the
most intimate relation with it, in all its
worst forms, for more than year.
The doctor advises all persons to vac
;iuate, no matter whether they have one
o. two good marks, and says if it does
not take, try it again and again. Fol
many reasons vaccination may not be
successful at one time, whilst at another
it may be. If this course be promptly
pursued by all, one month will utterly
Danish the disease.

Speaking of the huge fraud prepetrated
upon the tax payers of the country by
members of the last Congress, the New
York Herald, a warm supporter Of Gen.
Grant, closes an article thus:
With the expiration of this debauch
" ed and degraded Congress passes away
" the Republican party. No continued
/" professions of virtue and reform can
" save the political organization whose
4" leading members with large majority
ain both Houses in Congress, have
shielded corruptionists and perjurers
and thus made themselves responsible
as q party for the offences they were
two eowardly or base to condemn"
Another of U. s G's friends, the Phil
adelphia Bulletin, chimes in as follows:
Men like Butler, aud others of the
class that could not perceive anything
wrong in the Credit Mobilier infamy,
" eagerly accepted the fifty per cent. in.
" crease and defended the infamy with
unblushing cheeks. 1t was a fitting
deed for the closing hours of the ses~
" sion Of body which forgave the bribe>
" ry and falkehood of a dozen Of its
members, and it confirms the popular
" impression that the country is happily
a rid of an organization composed of such
men"
Such rebukes, coming as they do from
Administration organs, fall with crushing
force upon the heads of the recreant
Democrats who had a finger in the pfc
No wonder the honest people Of the 4th
Congressional district applaud Hon. j. B.
Wright for recording his vote against the
monstrous fraud, whilst those of the re,
naming districts abhor the greed and
avarice of their Representatives every
one of whom should be continually held
up before the public eye as faithless ser
wants, unworthy of trust It was baC
enough to provide for an increase Of fu
ture pay, but their bounding backwards i
unpardonable. Should either of the YAM

Corinth, Miss, is not the most quiet

the following local items, which we clip
from tie Courier of last Friday:
Any one, to look at Us, here in this
thriving little city of ours, would think
that We were a nation of dTunksrds,
judging the whole country by this place.
On Sunday night the dwelling house OF
Mr. j. H. Settle, some three miles from

Financial.

The stock speculation of Wall street
for 1872 was based on II issues repre>
senting $4,000, 900, or, at the average
of 20, s4OO 100000. Of this amount,
one half is in speculative hands. The
regular sales of the stock exchange for the
year were IS, 0OOOOO shares, representing
a market value of $8,85O,0O0, 900. But
immense as this sum is, it was only one~
fifth of the business of the clearing house.
It does not include government, State,
city and railroad bonds. The stock most
dealt in was Pacific Mail, of which TO-
967 900 shares werc sold; equivalent to
the change of hands" of the whole stock
of the company a little Oftener than once
a week Surprising the brokerage to
average I>l6 of one per cent, it would
amount to $6,865,OOO This divided

Words of Cheer

We are in receipt Of letter from a
friend who has charge of constructing
the first eighteen miles of the Ii. & K.
Railroad east of Bolivar, aud extract
therefrom the following words of cheer:
Being employed on the above IN. &
K road for some time, it affords me
pleasure to report the progress of our work.
The road is fast being built, from Bolivar
to Henderson Station, and the day is not
far of when the iron horse will be prob
ing the beautiful and fertile country of
East Tennessee, giving to farmers, msr-
chants and other business men a choice
of markets and range to the world, to
say nothing Of host of other innumer.
able advantages.
"On what basis can community find
fault with a railroad?
Let them open their eyes and look at
other countries-Texas, tor instance, six
years ago, and compare it with the press
ent. Let US have the same pride we had
in chlldhood's days and keep up as We
did when school boys in our classes. 1t
is bad policy to be at the foot of any
thing"

How to Neasure Land.

An Iowa farmer recommends the fol>
lowing device for measuring land. Take
two STATS about six feet long, sharpen one
end of each, lay them upon floor like a
pair of open compssses, SO that the points
shall be exactly FIVE feet six inches apart /;
now nail the other two ends together and
q piece across the middle, so that it will
look like the letter A, and the measure is
finished. To measure land place one
point at the starting place and the other
also On the ground in q straight line for
destination stand along side the machine
with one hand on top Of it; take one step
forward, tip up the point that is behind,
swing it around (from yOu) on the other
point and set it in the line also. A per
son in this manner can measure correct
" as fast as he can Walk-thres spaces
make 8 rod-Walk straight without stop"
ping, count the spaces, divide these BY
three, and you have the rods.

Speaking Of Railroad PROSPECTS, the
sOmerviie Falcon Of last week says:
The counties of Shelby, Fsyette, liar
demsn a1d Madison have been agitating
the question Of buildinz q narrow gauge
railroad from Memphis east in the diFee-
ton OF several points on the Tennessee
river for the past eighteen months. The
papers of these counties have expended
large quantities Of printers ink, and have
used arguments, ad ilJinituns, to convince
the people that the enterprise ought to
have their support. Large meetings have
been held, and volumes of gas emitted in
the form of public speeches In behalf of
the cause, and yet but little has been
done The people of Madison, Fayetts
and Shelby have almost forgotten the
subject. Bolivar inaugurated the scheme
| and TO that town, and its allies east, re-
mains the credit of standing firm in carr
Fying it forward. But for HardemAn
county the enterprise would have been
dead long ago. Memphis would like to
assist bat she is about to lose the vast
trade west Of the Mississippi by the en-
tsTpriss of st. Louis, and she is unable
at this time to think of eastern connsc-
tlons Fayette county has been sound
Asieep on Enls SUBJECT tor twenty years,
and is not likely to be aroused at any
early day. Madison county cares but
| little about it, from the fact that the road
| would be of but little use to her financial
| interests. TIE Hardeman, and the coun~
ties east, the task is left for the present.
Work is progressing faVorably, and soon.
er or later Bolivar will reap the benefits
of her labor. We admire her pluck and
energy, and can only wish that Somerville
was half her equal in this respect. We
| present these facts for the benefit of the
property holders of this county, and may
alluds to them again.
We can assure our friends of the FdL,
con that our people are in earnest about
the building of the NJ. & K. r. r. east Of
this point, and that just now they "dOn'
look west mash"

Another Chance for the Bows.


Rumor has bruited it abroad that
coup de etat is about to transpire by
which a new State is to be carved out of
Mexico. The Houston Telegraph of the
9th ult says it is understood to be on
the old plan designed by Gen. Shields
in 1848, which contemplated the acquisi.
ton of the territory lying between the
Rio Grauie and the Sierra Madre, with
San Luis as the capitol ana Matamoras
and Tampico as the sea ports. 1t is
thought that five thousand men from
Uncle Sans dOminions can easily be
raised for the purpose. Our opinion is
that the temper and civilization of the
age is opposed to any such fllibustering
enterprises. To acquire that territory by
purchase, treaty, or by legal warfare,
might be we'll, as we believe It would be
| q valuable solution of the troubles on our
western borders but to step outside OF
the laws of nations and the treaty obi
cations, to which all people look for safe
ty and comfort is an indsfensible wrong
which We hope the Southern people oil
the United States, at least, will take nc
part in. Our own wrongs should admon
ish us against that aggression, which We
believe the Almighty, in His good time
will avenge.

Memphis has just received another
stab. The st. Louis and Cairo and Full
ton railroads completed the bridge over
White river last Monday and trains are
now running through from Little Rock
to St Louis. Our friends in Memphis
might eounter-balance their losses in the
west by gains in the east if they would
assist in the construction of the Memphis
and Knoxville Road. None so blind as
those who can see but will not" etc.
