vyvpEIs AND xEoxvrIIE RAILROAD

The Chief Engineer OF the memphis

encouraging letter concerning the pros
meets Of the road to the Tennessee River

road between Bolivar and Henderson
station Is under contract iuelading all

chants az those cities TO tap the rich
trade al the Tennessee river at Saltilio by
a,hroush line Of rail via Bolivar. Fay
cite county subscribed generously to the
aptsrprise. and the road could have been
bpilt 10 the Shelby county line with but
little increase Of subscriptions. But the
trouble was in Shelby. A few thousand
dollars was subscribed along the pro-
nosed line, and FIVE per cent o. the
amount paid in to pay cost of surveys,
etc That was all, aud instead OF the
WORK commencing at this end OF the
line and being showed through to the
Tennessee river in year, as It might
have been, the people Of Hardeman,
who were more inclined to build "a road
for themselves than Memphis, went
quietly to work east Of Bolivar, and
while helping themselves in sheer sell
defence, are not helping Memphis but
the two cities named. This is to be a
cheap narrow gauge read, costing from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile when built
and equipped for business, and would
be worth as much to this city when I'm
ished from here to Tennessee river as
the Little Rock railroad is to-day. The
time will come when the necessity OF
building this road directly from Mem
phis to somerville, Bolivar and Saltiilo
will be realized by the business portion
OF the community, but whether in the
nineteenth century or some time in the
next we are not prepared to say.
The Bolivar Bulletin Of the 4th inst.
says:
Our fellow-citizen, Captain u. Voss,
has contracted to build all the culverts
required on the Memphis and Knoxville
railroad in Hardeman county east OF
Bolivar, to be completed by the Both OF
June next. Captain Voss is an expert
eueed railroad man, and will surely do
his part of the work. This speaks well
for our railroad and shows the deter
mination of those in charge of it to lose
no time in its construction. The chief
engineer will leave for Henderson sta
ton on Monday next for the purpose OF
letting all the work not yet contracted
for on that end of the first division.

THE POSTAL CAR SERVICE.

The railroads leading out from New
York were discreet enough to withdraw
their threat to discontinue the postal
cars. Perhaps they concluded they
could not cope with the government and
the farmers Of the West all at once.
There is a growing and intensified feel
ing nearly all over the country against
railroad monopolies and their alleged
extortions and Determinations. The
discontinuance Of the postal car ser
vice at this time would have been the
signal for the formation Of an ahti-rail-
road ring party Of powerful strength and
influence all over the North and West
Railroads take q big hand in politics
occasionally, but the party that had the
immense influence aud support Of rail-
road interests was most signally defeated
the other day in St. Louis. The rail-
road companies allege that they have
been carrying the postal cars at a loss
for several years, and Congress at its last
session, to meet their demands, appro-
priated $500. 900 for increase Of compen-
satiou, yet like Oliver Twist. they are
calling for more" Congress having
adjourned, Mr.. Creswell, the Postmaster
General, has no power to increase the
compensation, or in fact to do anything
else, but await the action Of the rail
roads and threaten them with the eKer-
else Of a little arbitrary force through
the boys in blue. But tits unlikely that
any such means will be used or even
necessary. The railroads dread tho
military and dread the voice of the
people who wosld be put to the greatest
inconvenience by suspension Of the
postal car service. These cars arI
described properly as travelling post
Offices wherein the mail for way stationi
is made up and put in bags, thus expe
diiing business, preventing the aceumu
lation Of mail matter at the large dis
iributng Offices, saving time and saving
circuitous transportation. Postal car

ne,anea nna crlme.

Occasionally the aid Of science has to
be called upon to ferret out crime and
fasten the alleged onense upon the real
criminal. The sciences OF medicine
and chemistry are those which arc most
often called upon for this purpose, and
indeed the adopts in these sciences, from
this fact, may be regarded as publicben-
eactors, because they often make dis
coverles that, beyond peradventure, I'M
locks the mind and bosom OF the Grim
inal. Yesterday a negro named George
Griffin was arrested by the police, on the
charge of stealing valuable gold ring
from a lady resident Of this city. The
negro IVES suspected Of swallowing the
ring, in order to escape detection
How to obtain the lost property, was
the conundrum, with the police auihori-
tics. who thought il more than probable
that the negro had disposed OF the
ring in the manner intimated. Grit
fin was brought before the Recorder
this morning. and that official heard the
testimony. The ring had to be obtained
in order to make out clear case against
the defendant, the testimony being purely
circumstantial and not of very strong
grade. Recorder Winters having been
sheriff of Shelby county for several
wears and before the wa having been
at the head of the police force OF Mem
phis, gave the matter serious considera-
ton for few minutes and then contin-
ned the case until next Monday morn
Jag. In the meantime efforts will be
made to recover the ring by means OF
emetics or other positive drugs that have
the peculiar power of taking an inside
photograph of humanity. The matter
has been left in the hands Of Mr.. Sim
Barinds, the Chief s able secretary, who
has undertaken the job Of making the
supposed thief throw up" the ring. tits
well-known scientific fact that, IN the
course Of time, the acids Of the stomach
will dissolve gold or other mineral sub
stance, in accordance with beautiful
provision of nature, but even then the
occult science Of chemistry can be
brought into requisition, and the con-
tents of the stomach, when analysed,
will show that the mineral has existed,
and still exists, although under differ
ent form. The scientific world, the
owner of the lost ring. the police au-
thorities, the newspaper reporters, the
LEDGER man especially, and the public
await the developments Of Sim
Barinds' explorations with anxiety pleas
antIy tempered with the hope that he
may succeed in ringing out from the in
terror of Griffin the lost treasure.

the subject Is freely discussed by many
Of the leading citizens daily. Unforiu'

The other extreme are those who would

the city. Good lots can doubtless be had
for the money, in intermediate localities

should be situated as near as may be
70 the eonverging lines Of business and
city travel. OF course our country
friends. who would frequently visit the
CITY even il we had no court house, are
equally interested in this question. They
would object to its location down in Fort
Pickering or out in North Chelsea, even
on the grounds Of economy in securing
a site. and we believe they will, many Of
them. object to the Adams street lot
which can be sold for what IT isworth
any time.
