A New SoUHERN TRUNK LINE.-Another
extensive railway enterprise, entered upon
some time since under the name of the South.
ern Railway Security Company, is fast ap-
preaching completion, and will be thrown
open for through travel from New York to
New Orleans about August /. According to
the statements of;the officers, the company was
chartered and organized for the purpose of
uniting aud protecting the interests OF lines
belonging to it, and for the creation of great
Southern Trunk Line from New York to the
principal points in the South. Among the
companies embraced in the combination, are
the Richmond and Danville, the North Caro-
lima, Atlanta and Richmond Air Line, the
Wilmington and Weldon, the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta, the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, the Memphis and Charleston,
the Richmond and Petersburg, the Petersburg
and Weldon, the Northeastern, and the Che
raw and Darlington. Through these several
companies, the combination controls, in the
route from Washington to Memphis, the por-
ton between Bristol and Memphis, composed
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
and the Memphis and Charleston railroads.
Two routes, controlled by it, diverge at Rich
mond, Va. one, the Richmond, Atlanta and
New Orleans Air Line, composed of the Rich
mond and Danvile, Gncluding part of its
North Carolina division,) the Atlanta and
Richmond Air Line, Atlanta and West Point,
Western, of Alabama, Mobile and Montgom-
cry, and the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
railroads, is the shortest line from Richmond,
Va, to New Orleans, La. The connection is
now made via Augusta. The other, the Great
Atlantic Coast Line, is composed of the Rich.
mond and Petersburg, the Petersburg and
Weldon, the Wilmington and Weldon, the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta, the
North eastern Railroad and connections. The
Secretary states that the Atlanta and Rich
mond Air Line, under construction, will be
finished by August l, and trains will run from
New York to Atlanta in forty hours, and from
New York to New Orleans in sixty hours.
The company intend to extend their lines
westerly, so as to connect with the system of
railroads now in course of construction in
Texas, and in the autumn to establish their
general office in New York, and to open an
emigrant bureau to facilitate the transporta-
tion of emigrants to the South, and the devel-
opment of the country through which the
Southern Trunk Line extends.-Augusta

MEMPHIS,

Tho heavy frosts Of the early portion
OF the week have naturally increased,
temporarily, the daily lists Of inter-
ments from yellow fever. Frost kills
the poison in tho atmosphere of an in
fected district, but docs not prevent
persons from taking the disease whose
system contain its seeds. Hence sew
eral days must elapsc before any de-
crease in the number of new cases can
be expected.
We think there is reason to believe
that the malady has reached its climax,
and that after q few days there will be
steady decrease in the number Of
deaths and new cases. The weather
prophets predict u "killing' frost in a
few days.
Meantime the work OF disinfcction
progresses. Let it not lag. Every build
ing in the city should be thoroughly
uisinfectcd with carbolic acid or lime
and copperas, the former being the most
powerful disinfectant.
At tho suggestion OF the physicians
and President Erskinc, of the board of
Health, tho Howard Association last
night resolved to employ physician
for each Of the sub-districts recently
laid off. This will insure prompt at
tention to every patient. We hope
the proposed medical force can go on

numerous advocates of just representa-
ton, is that the people Of any District
will thus have a distinct voice in the
election, whereas they are now swal-
lowed up in the vote of the State. I'm
der the present system II State gives
one majority for either candidate, he
receives ali the electoral vote OF that
State, although the people Of much
more than one-half the districts may
have given majorities for the opposing
candidate. Thus, while nearly the
whole State Of New York voted for a
Republican candidate, majorities were
manufactured by fraud in New York
city sufficient to overcome all the ma
jorities in the country districts, and
thus give the whole electoral vote of
the State to the Democratic ticket
Under the proposed plan, evidently, the
large centers of population which hap
pen to have an overwhelming majority
for either ticket will lose much Of the
unreasonable share Of power they now
possess, and the country districts will
gain correspondingly.

Adviccs from Washington state that

sirous to embark in the banking BUSH

that within Il few weeks every national
bank that closes permanently will be
succeeded by new one. When a por-

NOBLE VICTIM OF THE SHREVEPORT

We all remember the noble, the brave
the generous Alfred Saville. His death
has been rs heroic as his Ito had been,
During the dark days Of tho unjust war
waged by the North against the South,
Alfred Savillc was attached to the COM
mand of General John II. Morgan, that
hero butchcrcd in cold blood after sur
render, and rs such the recital of his
feats On the encmy's Geographic lines
have often cnlivencd the gloomy circles
gathered around our camp fires, and
many were the stricks'' he played on
the perplexed Fcderals, sending them
right and left in search Of imaginary
foes, while his daring chief was sweep
ing through their lines in quest Of men
and horses; and no ono has forgotten
how, having taken possession of the line
between the Federals and Nashville, he
gave perelnptory orders there not to
send any moro troops, but plenty of
ammunition, and how an old friend,
then in charge ut Nashville, detecting
the peculiar touch Or lingering of the
bogus operator, flashed back to him this
good humored answer: acct out, Sa-
vile, or I'll send the cavalry after
you.''
And now the brave spirit which ami
mated and inspired that robust body

to his Maker, and like his afflicted
friend, we say, from tho bottom Of our
hearts: May he rest in peace and re-
ceive the reward off faithful scrvcnt.

HOW TO ELECT 4 PRESIDENT.

One OF the most important reforms of
the day, and one which commcnds it.
self equally to good citizens of all par
ties, is the change in the method of
clecting tho President and Vice Prcsi-
dent, which was advocated by Senator
Morton last winter, and now assumes
definite shape by the action of the Com
mittec on Privileges and Elections.
Senators Morton, Carpenter, Anthony
and Bayard, of that committees, having
been in conference for week ut New
York, are now reported to have SUBJ
stantialfy agreed upon plan which
they will recommend. 1t is exceeding
ly simple, and if adopted in place of the
present cumbrous and unjust system,
would undoubtedly give very general
satisfaction. 1t abolishes tho rnmean-
ing absurdity of an electoral college
altogether; provides that tho President
and Vice President shall be voted for
by the people directly, and secures a
measurable minority representation,
now denied, by tho following method
The plurality vote of each Congressional
District, cast directly for President and
Vice President, shall count one, and
the plurality vote of each State shall
count two, and a plurality of such votes
shall elect. Congress shall establish
tribunals for deciding any contest in
any District or State, but the possibili-
ty Of an election by the House is, of
course, abolished by the plurality rule.

w. r.. Adams in Monroe. This writ
was served on Mr.. Brown.

W. W. <ANduuS III monroe. IllS WIFI
was served on Mr.. Brown.
: Meanwhile, we are bound to believe,
I. III. Crawford was informed of the
action, or contemplated action Of Judge
Ray, and Crawford hurried to New
Orleans, and made affidavit against
Adams under the Kuklux Act of Con-
gress. +.
And now began judicial farce-a
tragedy to Adams-which might well
put to shame the blind Goddess of JUS
tice. Brown went to the depot at Delta
with Adams under arrest, to bring him
to Monroe. He met at tho depot, of
course for the first time, a Deputy US.
Marshal with a warrant from Commits
sioner Wolfey, Of New Orleans,-an
officer like our State Justices Of the
peace,-for tho arrest Of Adams under
Crawford's affidavit. Brown, at the
time, was obeying the writ OF .habeas
corpus issued by State District Judge
in a case involving the issues Of life and
death, and where the highest privi-
leges OF the citizen and tho mighticst
exercise of power in State are con-
cerncd, and yet this man Brown, the
fit tool of despotism and tyranny, gave
up his prisoner to the constable Of
Commissioner of the United States, and
w. r. Adams was taken to New Or
leans, through tho State of Mississippi,
in defiance and contempt Of the highest
and hottest mandate OF any Judicial
officer Of the so-callcd State of Louisiana,
and Is there confined in the Parish
Prison to await another preliminary
examination for an offense in every fea-
ture incomparably less reprehensible
than that charged upon this man by
Jane Woods and for which he was
thrown into the Delta Jail and for which
the State was demanding his trial. His
examination before the Commissioner
in New Orleans has been fixed for the
31st, and after that matter Is disposed
of, We suppose Judge Ray will be per-
naitted to have his writ obeyed.
But Judge Ray, smarting under the
indignity placed upon his authority by
Sheriff Brown, sent Sheriff Dinkgrave
to Madison to arrest and bring before
him the guilty culprit. Brown was
brought to Monroe, and for his contempt
of Judge Rays writ, was sentenced to
the long term Of "a hours in our parish
jail, and to pay fine OF 1924 and the
costs.
And this brings us to tho present ut
titude of this most remarkable case.
Adams ia in Jail in New Orleans; the
Judge Of this District has satisfied the
dignity of his court, and Il man, well
able to prove his innocence by whites
and blacks, is confined away from home,
business and friends in a prison while
tho officers, the courts and all the nu-
thorities OF the State are daily condemn
ing infractions OF law and engaged in
tho dissemination OF impartial justice
to guilty and innocent alike!
