The STEEL ORE BANK.-The To-
bacco Leaf. in speaking Of this ore
bank; which is situated near the rail-
road about seventeen miles from
GAINESVILLE, of which Capt. Gracey
owns about lao acres, says:
There is fortune in this bankand
we know something of the intentions
of Its owners.
THE CLARKsvILLEM MINING AND MANU-
FEATURING COMPANY
was organized in January last, with a
capital stock of so, 600. The charter
is liberal one, granting all the pow
ers which could be obtained under
the law, and powers ample for any pur
pose they may see fit to use them for
Capt. Frank T. Gracey is President of
this company. He is we'll knewn as q
man OF wonderful energy and extraor-
binary powers of endurance in bust
ness, a successful man in all his under
takings.
1t is the intention of the President
to build track of Ii miles from the
Memphis, GAINESVILLE and Louisville
railroad at maximum grade of 30
feet to the mile, and costing not more
than $1,000 He is then determined
to draw the ores to meeting point
with the block Goals, lying ON the
Evansville, Henderson and Nashville
road. a io
At no distant day blast furnace, at
either Louisville or GAINESVILLE, with
all the modern improvements, will be
the inevitable result of this combina-
ton OF coal and iron. Capt. Gracey is
perhaps the equal of, if not the best
informed coal man in Tennessee, and
he knows his prices and available sup
plies, and assures us that he can, in
addition to using iron, which requires
no calcining, use coal which will re-
quire no coking, and get coal here at
81 80 per ton. Besides this bank own
ed by the Company, they have valua-
BILE leases of iron lands Immediately
around them, and some ON the other
side of the river.
A FURNACE
erected near the railroad would pos.
sess advantages which no other fur
mace has. 1t would have track run
ming to the top of the furnace for dunn
ping iron and coal and limestone
The stone for fuxing could be most
cheaply brought from Red River bluff
in cars, the stone lying there ON both
sides of the cut. Hands could always
be had in abundance in town, and
there would be no expense for houses
other than the furnace and offices
Mr.. George 7. Lewis has demonstrated
that iron can be made here cheaper
than in Pennsylvania, and with these
advantages we believe furnace situa-
ted, as this one would be, running a
switch out to platform ON the same
level, on which it would be required
and an elevator to raise the iron to
the cars would require so little hand
ling of the ore, coal and iron that il
| could be made cheaper than Mr.. Lewis
| has put it"

DOM PIATT is abroad, and in let,
ter to the Washington Capital he puts
the argument against the protectionists
in his usual incisive and vigorous way
1--WE embarked" says he. at noon
upon the good ship. Australia, of the
| Anchor line, owned in Glasgow, Scot
land. 1t is melancholy fact known
to the world that all lines plying be-
tween our ports and Europe carry for
eign flags and are owned abroad. We
happened to be present in late dispute
between the White Star and German
lines, before the Postmaster General,
for the privilege of carrying the mails
of the United States. twas humil-
iating spectacle. The flag that once
foated in pride over every sea has been
driven away from our own ports thro'
the greed of protectionists possessed of
enough money to control our Congress
1t is a stupid lie to assert that the
cruisers of the Confederates during the
late war brought this about. The war
lasted four years on land, two years at
sea, and our American energy and en-
terprise would have remedied the
trouble long since; but in the mean
time iron has revolutionized ship build
ing, and owing to our high price of
iron, caused by our protection, and the
cost of labor caused by protection and
inflated currency, our ship builders
can not compete with the builders of
Europe, and with stupidity that is
without parallel we prohibit the pur-
chase of ships abroad. There are three
things we can not purchase abroad
one is obscene books, the other is spu-
rious currency, and the third is ships.
We only need one of the three. We
have a good supply of obscene books,
thanks to Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Messrs. Woodruff and Clafin, and the
immortal Walt. Whitman. Heaven
knows we have enough of a spurious
circulating medium. But we do need
ships; and differing from every nation
on the face of the earth, we prohibit
the purchase when they can be pur-
chased at profit.

dental election, it would also have
preponderatcd at the next representative
elections aud, consequently, have sccur
ed a majority in Congress. The further
res ult of this would have been not that
the new Congress would have abolished
all the. laws that since 1866, have been
enacted against the aims Of the Demo.
cratic party, but that all these amend
mepts and laws would have become
dcad letters. Neither President nor
Congress would have enforced their
Observance, nor would any authority
have prevented the oppression Of tho
negro population by means Of illegal
local legislation Slavery, perhaps
would not have been proclaimed but, in
pursuance Of local laws, negroes for the
slightest offence might have been. con-
demed to compulsory labor. The right
OF voting, now granted to the negroes,
would. possibly, have been nominalIv
recognized, bu', by the institution of a
local tax on voting, the large majority
of ne; roes might have been rendered
incapable Of crcsing this political
privilege. Thus all the laws issued for
the protection of negroes might have
been practically abolished, and, without
doubt, this would have bcca the case.
The entire social development OF the
former slave States would, step by step,
have taken a rctrograde direction. and
the whole of the great republic would
soon. have collapsed to it, condition be-
fore the war Of 1851.

this order of things must, rs yet, be

are affected by the fact alledged. AS
the pleadings stand, the relators have,
no interest in the matter pleaded,
because, as matter of pleading, they
have not been connected with it by
respondents allegation. Assuming that
the fact, as alleged, should stand as
admitted, it would not in law affect the
relator's right to the remedy ho asks,
because the law cannot supply the
defect of the pleading, namely, an
averment that tic bonds IN SUit were SO
paid and unlawfully reissued: 1t is a
misapprehension to suppose that the
rules of law are to receive some peculiar
and unusual exposition when matters
affecting the interest of the State or
transactions affecting incidentally many
persons are brought before the court for
adjudication. The opposite fact con-
stitutes chief recommendation of a
government of laws. The pleadings of

that govern the humblcst citizens, nor
does such equality work hardship to a
State with resources ample to adva nee
and protect its interest before the
courts"
Thus it will be seen that the opinion
covers only the five bonds in suit and
docs not touch even the bona fdcs of
those, as no issue thereupon was made
before the Court.

of the bonds (othcr than with regard to

The Special Session.

1t is published in the newspapers
that special session Of the Legislature
will be called about the 21st of October,
to take into consideration, among other
things, the condition of the public debt.
The Republican party in this State is
pledged to do all that can be done to
maintain the public honor and to relieve
the burden of the debt that presses up
on the shoulders of the people, The
shadow of rcpudiation should never fall
across the bright record Of the party
organization, and whatever in us lays
should be done to discharge our just
obligations. The condition of our
finances requires the most careful and
delicate management. The poeuniary
embarrassment, under which the Repub.
lican party came into power is well
remembered. We cannot forget the
prediction of the opposition, that the
sincws Of war could never be obtained
and that the party would break down
with its own weight,
The difficulties were overcome, but at
sacrifice which has thrown upon the
present administration n responsibility
which it proposes to meet as becomes
the ropresen tative Of II great party in
such All emergency. The Supreme
Court has pronounced its fiat that the
credit Of the State is a part Of its
constitution. The Legislature, in which
is vested the sovereign power, will be
called together, and there is au Exccu-
tive who has the ability and nerve to
execute its will. w understand that
his Exccllency has long had upder
advisement proposition to be submitted
to the creditors for fair and honorable
adjustment of the public debt aud will
recommend such plan in his me ssage
to the Legislature. That supreme body,
We arc satisfied, will support some such
judicious measure, because the masses
of the people, from whom they come,
are honest to the core and anxious TO
pay what they fairly owe, but resolved
that the creditor, who has his just
claims Nhiah must be acknowledged,
shall not press his heel beyond reason
or endurance upon their just rights
The creditor, we are assured, will noet
this popular feeling in the proper spirit
and the Christmas sky will look down
upon the wise adjudication Of these
vexcd questions and upon the honor
and reputation Of this administration
confirmed in the hearts of a satisfied
people : Jnion- Herald.
