The Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road Stockholders VS.. Tom
Scott & Co.

New York World Correspondence
HUNTSVILLE, ALA, July l3.-NOt more
than a year ago Tom Scott sometimes
called the Southern Railway Security
Company leased the Memphis and Char
lesion road, 800 miles long, from Mem
phis to Chattanooga. 1t was stipulated
in the lease that the road should be
thoroughly repaired and supplied with
new rails and rolling stock, and given at
once first class equipment" The road
is in a wretched condition. The eating
houses are yillanous, sleeping cars infest-
ed with Eerrnin till they became insutfsr
able and were taken off the road, the
passenger cars are VillanOUsiy filthy, and
the road, people say, is purpOsely dcs-
troyed that it may never constitute a
route competing with SCOTS more costly
lines through the CaroliDas and Georgia
to Vicksburg, Shreveport, New Orleans,
Texas and the Pacific. In other words,
it is believed that Scott leased the road
to destroy it, and the contract Of lease
defines no penalty for It's violation 1t is
also true that it was understood when the
lease was made that Scott had contracted
for the Memphis and Little Rock road,
which was to be extended at once to
Shreveport, and thence across Texas to
point in the shortest line from New York
city to Marshall, Texas, the initial point
of the Texas Southern railroad. But
Scott has utterly refused to have aught
to do with the road in Arkansas, and is
certainly destroying the road-valgeiess
as Inanaged-between Memphis and
Chattanooga In very truth, it is gener'
ally believed that Tom Scott and New
comb, of the Memphis and Louisville,
and MeComb-the three owning nearly
all the railroads in these Sbates-have
combined to destroy Memphis, and crush
the Memphis and Little Rock road, and
thus prevent the extension of the road
from Memphis to Shreveport The result
of this state of facts and of this alleged
fraudulent conduct On the part of Tom
Scott, is the preparation of bill to be
fled in the L. s. Court at Huntsville.
praying that the contract with Tom
Scott ring be set aside-and that SCOTS
agents-Jacaues and others-be eniOined
from the further destructive use of the
road and the prayer is that the whole
property be placed In the hands Of a re-
ceiVer, till the validity Of the contract or
lease be determined The stockholders
of the road, who leased to Scott, meet
here on the Goth inst, and there will be
a terrible struggle to control the action of
the body by Scott's friends and enemies.
am persuaded that by the time this
meeting occurs Scott will own a majority
of the stock, and that's an end Of the
road. The price of the stock, which is
being bought up by SCOTS representa-
tiVes, may advance from Is to so cents
within "a hours after the publication Of
these facts.

The New State Movement.

Cynics may sneer, doubling Thomas
shake their heads and evinee their want
of faith in various forms but the evil
dence of an enthusiastic meeting here
on the 29th, and the presence of a large
eoncOurse of people from Mississippi and
Kentucky, to say nothing of the immense
delegations from each county la West
Tennessee, are growing day by day more
patent to the mind of any and all who
keep themselves posted in regard to this
movement
The Mississippi portion of the contemr
plated new State is a unit for the moves
ment No voice dissents from it; and,
left to them, the State would be inaugus
rated without any unnecessary delay.
Kentucky is less demonstrative, but we
believe not less determined; and the
people of West Tennessee, with here and

mony and good feeling prevail, and let US

Rev. Samuel Watson, OF Memphis, has
crossed the ocean and is wandering about
the "old werld." In a recent letter to
the AUalancHe he says:
There is much less danger than is gen
orally supposed in crossing the ocean.

fewer lives lost at sea, in proportion to
the number of passengers, than by any
other mode of travelling. Take, for in

The Result of tae Trial

In our notice of the shooting ARRAY at
the Arbor near Bratton's School House,
seven miles west of this place, last week,
in which Gray and Biggs, on the one
part, and the Roach brothers on the
other, were the belligerents, We stated
that Jasper Roach had given himself up
TO the civil authorities, and that Thurs
day the 10th inst. was the day set for the
trial The trial came off at the appoints
ed time and the result was that Roach
was required to give bond in the sum of
twenty five hundred dollars for his APP
pearance at the next term of the Circuit
Court. But it appears that after the de-
eision of the court was made, when
Roach Yves in the custody of ESQ. Nam

writing the bond, a favorable opportunity
presented itself TO Roach to make his es>

A GIorinus Time.

Last Saturday the Mechanics of Boil
var, with their families and many levels
headed friends met at the Basin Bend
and enjoyed one of the most pleasant re-
unions we ever attended. The day was
most delightfully."- spent and will long be
remembered by the participants as one
among the brightest this side of the
Other Shore The various committees
appointed to discharge defined duties
acted we'll their parts, and to their intel
ligenoe and concert of action is due the
success which crowned every effort to
please the fancy or provide bounteous
repast for hungry mouths in the cooling
shade of the grand old woods, where, free
from the heat and dust OF every day
haunts, the real inner man seemed to
rise and float away from a sea of troubles.
None but the sons of toll know how rich
are the hours of recreatiOn-none can
enjoy them better hence we say they
enjoyed glorious time last Saturday and
will ever recur to it with pleasure. There
were no jars, no discon5entment, no not
the shadow of an obtFuding finger, and
the joyous groupes gathered around were
fit subjects for the poets pen or the
artists pencil Brief and eloquent
speeches were made; a bountiful dinner
was spread at the proper hour games
swinging, promenading and dancing in
dulged. The sun was quite low ere Tho
grounds were deserted, and as each one
turned homeward the wish for another
day like the one just passing into the by
cones went with them. This wish may
be gratifed, for we hear that the mechan
les are contemplating repetition, tx

On the subject of the Beauregard de-

the Patrick Horny of 1873, has thunder

the death. The white people Of New
orleans repudiato it with vigOr approach

ed it, is lapsing into silence, and the ore
iginators are beginning to feel that they
have made a biunder worse than a crime,
which is to blast their future aspirations.

We learn that on Sunday last the en-
tire residence of Mr.. James r. Allison,
living on Halls creek, in this county, was
destroyed by fire. His last years pea
and wheat crops were burned also.
Nothing was saved excepting some of the
furniture, bedding and wearing apparel,
which was badly damaged. Loss $500.
On Saturday morning last, colored
individual by the name of James Thorn
ton, was brought to and lodged in the
Jail at this place, accused with having
attempted a rape upon a young white
lady living near Cuba Landing. As yet
we have been unable to learn the partic-
ulars, and we do not wish to PREJUDICE his
case, but we cannot refrain from saying
that if he was guilty, that the people in
that neighborhood have acted badly in
permitting him to be brought to Jail, for
this crime is one which calls for the most
summary punishment.
