A woman died in ". express wagon
while being driven to the poor house
in Nashville last Sunday morning.
The cxprcssman drove about one mile
from the city to get his charge, placed
her in the wagon and drove OF. lie
says that when he put her in the wagon
she cautioned him to drive slowly and
carefully, and asked him to beg some
thing for her if they should meet any
" gentleman thatlooked like he would
do something for her. He had not
driven n mile before she expired. She
was about 80 years Of age, n white
woman, and came from Alabama.
What u commentary upon the times
Oh for Dickens to be alive again Bat
even then he could not write enough
to change .he hearts Of stone which
fill the breasts Of mean humanity.
Poor woman! She stated for the poor
house aud death kindly came to her re.
lict. Perhaps she went to Heaven in
stead Of the poor house. The Home
Journal hopes so. God bless her!

Elk Governor Palmer, of Illinois, q
Liberal Republican, writes a signiti
cant letter to the Democratic Commit
tee Of that State, and says that the party
which now holds possession of the
Government is so completely under
the control of mere political managers
and their adherents that hereafter its
formal platform will declare any form
of political doctrine to be Republican
ism which will repudiate the souudest
and best established truths whenever
and wherever they may happen to be
unpopular.
Tue letter continues: at cannot
and will never again submit to the
country an honest, frank and well de-
fined platform of principles. 1t would
have gone TO pieces during the last
session of Congress, but for an agree
ment that everything in craftsmanship
and politics should thenceforth be re.
Sarded rs non-essential, and it must be
apparent that what is known as the Cd
position have as yet determined on no
common grounds of action, nor do |
suppose ii to be possible to present to
the country a declaration Of principles
upon which all opposed to the party in
power can agree. 1t is true, every cit.
izcn must perceive, in the recklessness
and extravaganza of Congress and in
the corruptions which disgrace almost
every department of the public service
and in the encroachments of Congress
and the Federal judiciary upon the pev.
pie and their contempt for the limita-
tons Of the Constitution are occasions
for alarm. But the difficulty to be sur.
mounted is to find some basis of union
which will enable the people to coop
crate fer the public good. In my
Judgment this can be secured but in
one way: that is to go before the
country upon a declaration of p%rinci-|
pies that shall be frank, unevasive and
true, and shall by its ~plainness carry
the proof with which it is presented"

Moore County.

From the I%ynchburg Sentinel, 5th inst.
at will no doubt be i matter ofnews
to many Of our readers to learn that
the Boundary line between this county
and Franklin has been re located. 1t
will be n greater surprise to them FROM
the fact that but few Of them, if any,
were aware that Franklin county had
instituted suit against Moore in regard
to changing the line. In fact, We be
llcvc 1t was the general impression
amoag the people that Franklin coun-
" would not enter suit a. all, but await
the final settlement Of our suit with
Lincoln, and would accept the terms
agreed TO III that suit. But such does
not seem TO he the case, AT least
Chancellor Marks confirmed Il con
fiesscd decree in the Chanccry Court at
Winchester on the 9th ult, placing
the Moore county line back-we don't
know where nor how far, but suppose
to some imaginary line, for the records
Of Moore county show but ono line, the
one established by the Legislature of
Tennessee.
This action on the part of the court
seems to us to be premature. But no
blame can attach to that tribunal when
the fact Is known that the decree was
submitted to by the commissioners on
our part, and the Chancellor did only
his duty in confirming it. He could
not have done otherwise. This has all
been done, however, without being
known 10 over u half dozen of our citi,
zcns, if, indeed, that number, when cv.
cry man in the county should have been
Informed upon so important n suit as
one affecting its territory. Everything
connected with the matter is to then
n mystery. The county records cas-
no light upon the subject. In fact
they know O hear nothing save tina
now and then some decree has beer
agreed to, wherein Moore county is in
yariably the loser. If this state of at
fairs continues, our county will bC
ruined. But we might write from now
until doom's day, and it would avail
nothing, unless the people take action
and in some way put a stay TO sucl
proceedings"
The only thing that the people o
Moore county can do is to obey tn,
law. The proceedings Of Franklin
county against Moore county has been
regular in all respects. Franklin
thought that her constitutional right
had been %encroached upon when Moore
county was established. Commission.
ers were appointed to ascertain if this
was so. The discovery was made
that the line Of Moore county was sew.
eral miles nearer our courthouse than
it had a right to be, and the County
Court ordered suit to be brought to
recover our lost territory. A bill was
filed in the Chancery Court at Win
chester and process was served upon
the Chairman OF the County Court off
Moore. This was all that the law re.
quired. Notice to an agent is notice
to his principal in contemplation Of
law. The County Court of Moore
county permitted the bill to be taken
for confessed, because the case was too
plsin to admit Of controversy, and we
have no doubt the people of Moore
will endorse the sction of the Court
when they fully understand the matter.

Victory for Vicksburg.

The first fruits of the threatened
passage by Congress of the infamous
civil rights bill have been plucked by
the Democracy Of Vicksburg, Miss.
The white people are victorious. AT.
ter a contest unparalleled in the his
tory of that city, they have by united
action routed the black army, led on
by wretchcd, renegade white men,
whose only desire was Office, even at
the expense of the welfare Of the peo-
pie. Vicksburg is at last free of the
odious tyranny of ignorant negroes,
allied with thicving whites. The late
slave will ne longer lord it owe his
late master with insolent supcrcilious
ness, and the tax payers of the chill
city" will now be able to manage
their municipal affairs in their own
wav and work out their perfect politi-
cal regeneration in their good
time. They will be able to date a fresh
start on the road to prosperity from
the fourth Of August, q day that will
be to each white household no less sa
cred than that which q whole republic
commentaries every year. Robbed
and pIundered, and driven almost to
the verge Of bankruptcy BY their black
masters and carpetbag invaders they
will now have an opportunity to re
trieve all that has been lost, and by an
honest administration OF their local
affairs put themselves beyond the pos
sible reach of the plundering hoard in
future. Memphis Appeal.
