IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court, in session at Nash
Vile, has just promulgated an important
decision on the subject of stock in railroads
subscribed by counties and corporations.
Smith county voted a subscription OF
5000 to the Tennessee and Pacific Rail-
road. The road was not located in accord
ance with the wish of large number of
the taxpayers of the county and they COM
menced suit to avoid the payment of the
amount subscribed. The Supreme Court
declares that the law requires certain
things to be done before County Court is
allowed to submit a proposition to sub
scribe stock in railroad to q vote Of the
people that one of these conditions pre-
cedent was that sworn statement of the
company's engineer shall be filed with the
court, showing the location of the road
from one end to the other, with certain es-
Inmates, &c. This was not done in this
ease, and hence the court holds that the
vote is not binding, and the past proceed
;ngs are void.

THE bill proposed by Hon. 81. n. Sny-
der, looking to the appointment of COM
missioners to settle the title OF mountain
lands is likely to become law. Now if
our mountain lands can fall into the hands
ofmen who intend to develop them it will
be well. On the contrary, if they are pur-
chased by monopolists, whose only motive
is to avoid competition in the iron or coal
trade, it will not be well for East Tennes-
sse. We take this occasion to caution
those who have mineral lands, especially
iron and coal, to be very cautious about
leasing them except upon condition that
they are to be developed.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

Tie Congress of the United States has
enacted that the completion of the One
Hundredth Year of American Independ-
ence shall be celebrated by an International
Exhibition of the Arts, Manufactures and
Products of the soil and mine, to be held
at Philadelphia, in 1875, and has appoint
ed a commission, consisting of representa-
tives from each State and Territory, TO con-
duct the celebration.
The Commissioners for Tennessee, con-
sisting of Thos. H. Coldwell and his alter
nate, William +. Prosser, met in the city
of Nashville some weeks ago and proceed
cd to organize by appointing an Executive
Committee for each division Of the State.
Subsequently another meeting was held at
cd prompt and vigorous measures to put
the matter under way. Hence our under
standing is, that the Chairman of each
Executive Committee is urged to bring
the members of his committee
together at the earliest practical moment
for the purpose of organizing and Of get
ting ready for work in each division of the
State.
It will be seen, by reference to another
column, that G. w. Charlton, chairman of
the Executive Committee for East Ten.
nessee. gives the names and addresses of
the members of his committee and invites
them, by all means, to be present in this
city, on Thursday the 9th day of March.
We invite attention to this call, and
earnestly hope that every member will en-
deavor to be on hand, as it is an occasion
of unusual significance and importance.
That the completion of the first century
of our existence should be marked by some
imposing demonstration is, we believe, the
patriotic wish of the people of the whole
country. The Congress of the United States
has wisely decided that the birthday of
the great Republic can be most fittingly
celebrated by the universal collection and
display of all the trophies of its progress.
1t is designed to bring together, within a
building covering fifty acres, not only
the varied productions of our mines and
Of the soil, but types of all the intellectual
iriumphs Of our citizens, specimens of
everything that America can furnish,
whether from the brains or the hands of
her children, and thus make evident to the
world the advancement of which a self
governed people is capable.
To this grand gathering every zone will
contribute its fruits and cereals. No min
eral shall be wanting; for what the East
lacks the West will supply. Under one
roof the South will display in rich luxu-
rance her growing cotton, and the North
in miniature, the ceaseless machinery. of
her mills converting that cotton into Cloth
Zach section of the Globe will send its
best offerings to this exhibition, and each
State of the Union, as member Of one
united body polite, will show to her sister
States and to the world, how much she
can add to the greatness of the nation of
which she is harmonious part.
Now the question arises what part Ten
nessee will take in this great movement
and particularly East Tennessee? Will
our own section stand aloof and have
nothing to do with it? Now is East Ten

she was known to be amiable, loving

the lips which seemed formed only for
smiles and tender language. She pos

into friendship and love. The recollee-

last, the following resolution was adopt
cd:
ReSOlUed, That all the money subscrip-

the ratification of the Stockholders mt
meeting to be held at the office of the
President, on Friday, the 18th day of

tions in work beyond said five miles,
may be expended along said line-sub-

Tnrnnike Meetinr

The attention of all subscribers to the
Pulaski, Pisgah and Bradshaw Turn
pike is directed TO a resolution adopted
by the directors on Monday last They
propose to build five miles of the road
beginning at Pulaski, and to do this il
will be necessary to expend all the
money subscriptions (as well as the work
subscriptions within said Unity Before
this can be done, however, it is necessa-
~ that the subscribers give their APP
proval, and for this purpose they have
called meeting at this place on the
18th. IL is desirable that every subscri-
Der be present, either in person or by
proxy, and tnat every dollar of stock be
voted on this question.
We would be glad to see the whole
road built, but that has proven TO be inn
possible just now, and as an humble
stoekhotder, we shall give the proposed
departure our approval for several rea-
sons first, five miles OF road is in
hnitely better than no road at all, and
the first five mile section Is more impOF-
tant to every individual who travels the
road at all, than any other section. Sec
ond, the completion of the first section
will probably stimulate the completion
OF the remaining sections, and give an
impetus TO road Improvements generally
throughout the county. Third, the
money subscriptions are made Mt this
end of the road, and may be expended
on this section with justice and propri-
ETY..
We do not believe there is single
subscriber who viii not readily assent
to the proposition. We cannot build
the entire road. We can only build five
miles. The question to decide then, is
simply this: Shall we build the five
miles or shall we abandon the whole
project and build none? We believe
that even those who live most remote
from town will eagerly vote for the pro-
position as offered by the directors, trust
ing to the future to fill up the gaps after
the work subscriptions shall have been
completed upon the other sections. Re
member the day-ne&t Tuesday.

Mr.. Woodbridge had better audience
on Thursday evening last than before,
and delivered his beautiful lecture with
even more animation than usual-owing
perhaps to his greater familiarity with
the subject and the compliment paid him
by the larger attendance. The clear re-
ceipts were nearly fifty dollars, after
paying hall rent and other expenses.

The Board of Trustees beg leave to
say to the public that at an adjourned
meeting on the 4th inst, il was resolved
after careful consideration, TO inauga-
rate the College, under their charter of
incorporation, in advance of the COM
pletion of their College buildings. The
Trustees have also elected Prof. ". Il.
Jones as Principal of the College for
the first scholastic year, and have placed
in his hands the organization of TIE
School, and they feel that they have been
fortunate in securing the services Of so
eminent a Teacher, thus early at the be-
ginning. Prof, Jones comes among us
with the most iiattering anteeedents, anC
the highest character as a teacher and
Professor in the education OF females
He has already secured suitable houses,
and corps of teachers will be provided
commensurate with the requirements of
the school.
The Board would also say that in adj
ditiOn to some $4,000, subscribed by
the citizens for the benefit of this insti-
tuition, there was liberal bequest of
$4,000 made by the late Col. Thomas
Martin.
The course of study adopted will be
amended and extended as the demands
of the Institution shall require. In the
management of the school the following
classification viii be entered upon at the
beginning, namely: Primary and pre-
paratOry departments, and Collegiate
Department, composed of Freshman,
Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes.
AS matter of course, a systematic
classification of the pupils viii be at
tended with more or less difficulty as in
the case of all newly established schools.
Perfect organization cannot be attained
in a day. We think, however, we may
safely say to the community and the
general public that ut the beginning of
the second scholastic year of ''Alartin
Female College," we shall present them
on the College grounds in West Pulaski,
Il magnificent school cdifice, adapted in
all points to the ends in view, whose
outfit and general appointments shall be
commensurate with the demands of the
highest, broadcast literary culture.
