On Wednesday last our Senator,
F. &. Snipes, Esq, from the Com
mittee on re-districting the State,
a bill, in lieu Of all 9th
ers,-and which IS likely to pass-in
which the 9th District-the one in
which we ere-is to be composed of
the counties of Hardin, Decatur,
Hardeman, McNairy, Madison, Hay

r. Mr.. Haynes the other day in
troduced a bill into the House Of
Representative of this State, to
establish the Sixteenth Judicial Cir

of Haywood, Crockett, Madison,
Henderson and Gibson. What do

WORDS WITH THE BARK on
The Chicago Tribune uses no pet
phrases in its mention of the pres
emit Vice President of the United
States. 1t says:
No man during this generation
has been more conclusively proven
q corruptionist, bribe-taker, a liar
and a perjuTer, than Schuyler Col

MIMI DISTRICT
TENTH DISTRICT
g.O46 1897


1t will be seen that last fall each
of the three proposed West Tennes-
see districts polled little over 49,
600 votes. So far as political COM
plexion is concerned parties are in
a transition state, and the new is
sues inevitable will settle this ques-
ton in their own time and way
1t is impossible to forecast in this
regard, and we hope the Legisla-
ture will decline to entertain any
propositions to reconstruct the dis
tricts ON a partisan basis. The last
Legislature attempted this, but
without success. A map of the IA
nous GATHERING ram" district
should be framed and given prom
inent place in each legislative hall
of the capitol as an illustration of
blind, maddened partisanship and
the policy of revenge.

Colonel Frost has informed us
that the Cairo extension of the Mis-
sissippi Central road is being push
ed forward to rapid completion,
and that thirty miles Of the iron,
chairs, spikes and spices are already
purchased and much of this materi-
al ready now on the grounds. The
track-layers are engaged to COM
mence putting down the iron. The
contractors have their work so far
advanced as to enable them to keep
out of the way of the layers of the
iron. Through the energy of the
officers of the immense line, from
New Orleans to Jackson, Tenn, we
shall soon have passenger trains
running through from New Orleans
to Chicago and other northern cities
without making changes of cars
and putting through of freight with
out breaking bulk. The people of
Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennes-
see cannot do too much in order to
repay them for their determination
to cheaper freighis and hasten the
time of transit from the South to
the nOrthward and to the south

A "High Commission" appointed
by our legislature, with power to
send for persons and papers, you'd
divulge an amount of corruption
and bribery, in connection with our
financial condition as State that
would be truly alarming. We fear
IS would be disclosed that some of
the most reputed names in our
State are blackened by their con-
nectiOn with the jobbing and lobby
ing of the last decade. Let us have
the Commission. Spectators must
be met and foiled, or a tremendous
debt will be irreVocably fixed upon
us.-FrdRklin Recietc.
We trust the editor of the Review
takes counsel in the above, from a
two suspicious nature; but if there
are any grounds for the belief that
''sOme of the most reputed names in
our State are blackened by their
connection with the jobbing and
lobbying of the last decade" we
hope "high commission" or a low
one, but an honest one, will be APP
pointed to investigate the matter,
and that they have power to send
for persons or papers, in the prose-
cution of their duties. Let the in
vestigation be searching and COM
plete; and let the guilty parIics-if
there are any such-nO matter who
they arc, be held to just account
before the people of the entire State.

eel away or badly damaged by the
recent floods. AT all events the
trains have been interrupted.
-" The Paris lntelligencer, and
several other of our Stale exehan-
yes, arc justly indignant at the suS-
restion that the legislature shall re-
move Mrs. Haskell from the Office of
Librarian OF the State-an office
which she fills more admirably than
did any male predecessOr-and elect
some man to the position. Now, in
our opinion, there is not true man
in Tennessee who would allow his
name to be used for so ignoble a
nurpose. Mrs. Haskell is eminently
qualified for the Office; it yields her
a scanty support, and no legislator
ought to be allowed 10 return in
peace to his constituents, who would
consent TO her displacement.

OF the road will now largely and rapidly in

year earned much more than the expenses and
interest," and the very favorable annual report
