An Appeal for the Ladies Of
HHinIInnn.an

Maj. w. ]. SYKES made an appeal to
the voters of Hickman County to vote
for the railroad subscription on account
of their wives and daughters, their moth,
ers and sisters. He said now they have
but little opportunity to see the world.
They are labOring under many disadvan-
tages. With railroads they could see
more for few dollars than they now see
in life time. Their children would
learn more in few trips at small eX-
pense, than they could learn from books,
in years. No man or woman could be
considered we'll educated that had not
seen something of the world. The rail-
road coach was the poor mans carriage,
because it enabled those of limited
means to travel where they otherwise
could never 60. Men have means of
travelling that their wives and daugh-
tiers have not. And he appealed to
them to fur nish those whom they were
bound to protect and defend, to love
and to cherish, advantages equal to
those enjoyed by themselves. He had
shown how these wives and daughters
could, if they had railroads, make
enough by their own energy and indus
try to pay each year, the whole county
subscription. Would they not give
them the opportunity?

Cheap Railroads md Cheap
TRANSPORTATION.

Ina speech made at Lewisburg, Ten
nessee, recently, Maj. VIM. j. SYKES
gave the view of the advocates of the
three feet Railroad gauge system upon
transportation. We now contend that
one of the best things that could be
done woul be for the broad gauge
roads to lay down third rail and do all
their local business with cheap marrow
gauge cars, doing their great through
business, both freight and passengers
with their present trains. In this way
they would save enough in short time
to furnish their roads with cheap cars
and coaches for all their local business,
and could accommodate the public with
cheap rates and at same time make
their roads more profitable. Another
advantage would be that they could
more easily make branches TO their
roads with the three feet gauge than
they could with the present costly roads,
and then there would be no necessity for
transfer of freight. r
Major SYKES, said there were some
who, although they were in favor of
railroads, did not want cheap railroads.
To such he would say, if you want
cheap transportation, you must have
cheap railroads; railroads that cost $25-
600 to sc, 600 per mile could never furnish
cheap TRANSPORTATION. He preferred the
cheap railways, because they would car
nv as much freight and as many passen-
gers, with equal ease and comfort, and
with greater safety than the costly rail-
roads were doing. He gave numerous
instances and examples to sustain these
posions. He said if you desire rail-
roads to benefit only managers and en-
ployees, at the expense OF the communi-
ty and of the stockholders, build costly
railroads, whose expenses consume the
greater part of their earnings: but he
could not see the wisdom OF building
railroads at cost of $4,000 per mile
when roads could be built at $4,000 per
mile, which would answer every pur
pose and would furnish cheap transpor-
tatiOQ,

TIE Knoxville Chronicle condemns
tie practice of delivering political ha-
rangues at college commencement occa-
sions, by men selected for that purpose.
We think it is very bad taste, and it is
only occasionally INDUCED in, in the
South. The Chronicle has no word of
condemnation for Northern speakers,
before colleges and other public occa-
sions OF a purely non-partisan nature,
who re open the "bloody chasm," and
attempt to arouse all the bitter mem
cries of our terrible conflict. Ifit is wrong
in the Southern States, so is it in the
Northern orators. The war is over, and
each section should labor to so talk and
act, as to make each other forget that it
ever existed. This certainly can never
be done by the North condemning in
the South what she is doing herself.

Cholera in Tennessee

All JONESBORO.
The cholera is raging with great yio-
lence at JOneshoro. All who could
leave have deserted the town, and not
above fifty families remain. On Tues
day there were four deaths from the
epidemic; on Wednesday two more,
and on Thursday there were three
deaths. One family has been destroyed
by the prevailing disease. One colored
man assisted to bury another early
Wednesday morning, and by o'clock
in the afternoon was dead himself.
There have been eighteen deaths since
the disease first appeared in Jonesboro.
Midway, near Jonesboro, had three
deaths from cholera on Tuesday.
LATER-The devastation by the
cholera is represented as fearful. On
Friday there were six deaths from chol-
era and eight new cases reported.
Knoxville has subscribed $500 to the re-
lief of the sufferers. A letter from
Jonesboro, received at Knoxville on
Friday, says: ''There are not enough
men in town to take care of the sick,
and, worst of all, no women that can be
got TO wait on the sick women, and the
nursing of the has to be done by mon. -
IN GALLATIN.
At Gallatin, from May so to July %,
there were one hundred and eleven
deaths from cholera.

There were sixty deaths, mostly from
cholera, in Union City and its vicinity

The Convention which met at Jack
means for the formation of new State,
composed of West Tennessee, West Ken
lucky and North Mississippi, is being
literally discussed by the State papers.
| The Nashville Banner laughs at the
movement, and calls it the height of
| folly. The Gallatin Examine" says,
'erring sister, depart in peace" and the
Knoxville Chronicle, (Radical,) says it
| is doomed to failure because Congress
| will not admit new States, carved out
of old ones. "The large States of the
Union are now, as they have always
been, jealous of the power and infiu-
| ence of the small States. Rhode Island
and Delaware have as many voters in
the Senate OF the United States, as the
great commonwealth of New York and
Pennsylvania" The Chronicle gives a
forcible illustration:
"Just after the war the old project of
making a separate State out OF East Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina was
revived. There were then very strong
reasons urged in behalf ofthe measure
reasons which, we trust, may never
again exist. Those reasons presented
the project in peculiarly strong light
to Congress. At that time the writer
had reason to pretty thoroughly can
vass the measure in Washington, and
he was surprised to find what little en-
couragement it received. Nearly every
prominent, thoughtful Senator and
Representative very decidedly but kind
ly said that It stood no possible chance
of success. As we said before, East
Tennessee then merited and received
special recognition at Washington, but
its efforts at independence as sepa-
rate State met with very few we'll
wishers."
We do not think the movement will
get far enough to ask for admission in
to the Union, through the door of Com
gress. The people of West kentucky
and West Tennessee will not vote, we
think, to have their old associations and
"fy to ills they know not Of" There
is great deal in a name, and the patri-
otto citizens of West Tennessee will not
surrender their right to the proud
name of Tennessee, which they and
their sons have helped to render glori-
Gus, on the rostum, in the national
councils, and on the bloody BATTLEFIELD.
The people of North Mississippi, crush
ed as they are under negro rule, may
be anxious to get into the new State.
But it does look very much like move
ment in behalf of, if not by the politi>
clans of West Tennessee. The multis
plication of officers of profit and honor
is what they want, but it is just what
the people should not want, for it will
bring with it more taxes.

Columbia AS an Educational
Point


Tho most essential thing necessary to
make place desirable as an education
al centre is health. \ town may pos
sJss everything else, good sceiety
CECapness OF living, ETC., and yet, il it be
rot healthy, it is unfit, as place for a
large congregation OF children to be ed
Ucated. Columbia possesses, in an en-
incnt degree, everything calculated to
promote the health, and the social and
intellectual culture of young ladies, and
young mon. 1t has escaped epidomics,
OF a fatal nature when they passed over
the State. In 1884 or 1885, a case of chol-
era was brought to Columbia, but, there
being nothing impure here for it to feed
upon, it did not spread. Physicians at
tribute our healthfulness to natural
cause.-the pure air wo breathe, and the
admirable location of the town. Our
magnificent forests, and hills and val
loys covered with long, beautiful blue
grass, are all calculated to inspire the
youthful mind with a love of nature
and of the beautiful, while the cult
waited society they meet is all that
cpuld lie desired, to make Intelligent
men and lovely women. COlumbia
should be especially attractive to the
people of the South, who have daugh.
ters TO educate. We have two old and
well established female schools, the Fe-
male Institute and the Columbia Athe-
noun, which are equal TO any schools
i'm the land, for thoroughness OF iustruc'
ton and, indeed, everything nece ssary
40 fit an untUtorod girl for all the high
or and uOblcr walks Of life. The InSti-
5rte IS conducted upon the principle Of
,.aelpgatcd Parental Authority" and
che Athen@um upon 'Ohristian Princi'

tiers to be educated.

IT is confidently asserted that HoR-
ACE MAYNARD will be the Radical can
didate for Governor OF Tennessee next
summer. This is presumptive evidence
that the Radicals expect to carry the
State in the next canvass, for Mr.. MAY
NARD is their ablest champion, and that
party is not in the habit of sacrificing
their best men in leading a forlorn
hope. And, judging the future by the
past, the Radicals are somewhat justi-
fled in INDUCING such a hatteriDg hope.
Although greatly in the minority, their
opponents in the last canvass, the Dem
Ocrats, were so deficient in organization
the result of confidence in their own
strength-that they elected nearly eve
ny member of Congress and came near
getting control of the Legislature-in
fact they did dictate its organization.
All this occurred in face of the fact that
the Democrats had a majority of about
fifty thousand. 1t is said that what has
been done may be done again, and the
conservative voters of Tennessee should
ask themselves seriously whether they
will again allow the Radicals to cheat
them out of victory already in their
hands. 1t may be urged that it is too
early to think about next years con-
test; but it is just the time. Organiza-
ton alone can save us from defeat, and
that must begin in each county, long
before any election takes place. So
long as we fail to put forth one of our
best men for every Office, and allow a
dozen or so of men, regardless of compe-
tcncy or fitness, to run, we may ex-
poet tho well organized Radical party,
disciplined as rigidly as the PrussiaD
army, Insignificant in numbers though
n may be, to always win. If they do
not succeed in electing a straight-out
Radical, they unite on "weak-brother"
unreliable Democrat, elect him and use
him. We know great deal can be said
against The evils that naturally grow
out OF strict party organization, but
without it the majority cannot be sue
cesslul. Last summers experience
ought surely to deprive us of the pleas
ure of having any more silly talk about
the unlairness and tyranny of nominal
ing conventions. The intelligent peo-
pie of this county must submit to one
of 1.-TWO things: Democratic organization |
or Radical victory. "Choose We be- |
tween the two" If the people do not |
take an interest in the matter, and put |
the right sort of men on the track for |
every office, We may expect to see Rad> |
ivals get in. 1t will be too late to at
tempt to secure organization after half
dozen Democrats have entered the
race and aroused a bitter feeling be-
tween their friends and different sec
tiouS of the county. Already we have a
large number of gentlemen who propose
~ be candidates for each county office.
The very ablGst Radicals in the county,
encouraged by this prospect, have an
uuuuCCd their intention of running. II
oven two Democrats and one Radical
run FOR each Office, who can doubt the
result?
