rance company, in the Office of
which he had served from Novem-
Der 6, 1872, to January, 1874, as
cashier and book-keeper. The ac
cused is quite a young man, being
scarcely twenty years of age. He

Crockett County Sentinel: A
mass meeting of the taxpayers of
this county is called at Crockett
Mills for the second dav of May.
The main question to be consider
ed is the action OF the commission
ers in letting the contract for build
ing the Courthouse under the
present financial condition of the
county. Another is to take steps
looking to the reformation of the
county financially. She is some
what in debt, as a necessary sequel

for the poor, and other necessary
expenditures.
Register 9th: The session held

may be considered a success. The
interest manifested by the business
men of the city shows that they
are alive to the many advantages
that will accrue to Memphis and
Shelby county if the road is con.
structed. The commercial men
seem disposed to take hold of the
matter, and this will secure the
building of the road. We expect
to ride on that road to Someryille

of tho people are really unfounded-
if high taxes, the need of a suiiici-
emit circulating medium, and low
prices for agricultural products are
not bringing them TO desperation,
and if there are not worse days re-
served for us than we witnessed
during the financial deadlock Of
'73, VIC will cheerfully give due
praise to Gen. Grant and 10 all
those who have arrayed themselves
on the side of the Eastern capital

bad to worse-if the veto should
not serve to enlighten the re-
fractory West and South, and if
"the inflationists" (as they are call
ed) take another step forward and
become regulators. then we sup
pose that those who arc now 90

ABOUT "THE Boss. IA short
time since we asked those 'Inde-
pendent Journalists" who profess
to be unable to perceive any differ
ence in the claims of the two par
ties now in existence, to honesty,
to name a Radical city that had
brought to justice such a Goliah of
thieves as Boss Tweed, claiming
this work to have been performed
by a Democratic city led on by a
Democratic press. The Huntington
Republican which sympathizes with
the independents in every possible
emergency, claims that the New
York Times, q Republican journal,
first unearthed the populations OF
Tweed, and that a Republican judge
finally passed sentence upon him.
Every one knows that if the popu-
lar sentiment of the politically ON
nipotent Democratic majority OF
New York had not been brought
to bear against Tweed, that he could
never have been punished. Had he
lived in New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Washington, or any Radical city,
his-millions would have enabled
him to break through the cobwebs
of the law without an effort. But
the Democratic press of a Demo
cratic city finally dragged him
down, as it did all of his confeder-
ates in crime. This was our asser.
tion and we sec no reason TO recall it.
We asked "the Independents" to
name a Radical city that had ever
sent such a delegate to a pententia.
ny, and we now extend the question
/ to the Republican.

UNLIKE some of our Tennessee con-
temporaries. the St. Louis Globe, a
thoroughly Radical newspaper, has
very little faith in the future of its
party, as will be seen by the follow
ing extract from late editorial upon
the subject.
"a paper like the Boston Adver-
tiser cannot be read out of the Re-
publican party, and yet it is hard to
read it and rate its Repuhhcanism
much higher than that of the Chicago
Tribune. There is an uneasy feeling
that the New York Times is getting
to be little exacting, and Harper's
Weekly, which has its whole exist
ence bound up with an answering,
unbroken devotion to the Republican
party, tells unpleasant truths, and,
attempting to look facts in the face,
does not find the prospects at all
agreeable. These circumstances would
naturally render it rather difficult for
the Republican party to maintain an
appearance of cheerful assurance.
individuals may pluck up courage
and whistle with no audible culver
in their strains as they pass by grave
yards, but party cannot march up to
its political graveyard in the same
manner. The outlook is unpromis-
ing, and there is no use in deceiving
ourselves by saying soft things"
And yet we have men in our midst
who would think it very rude in us
if we denied that they were endowed
with the intelligence of an average
ohimpanzee, who seriously assert
that the Republican party is SO safe
ly anchored in the affections of the
American people that the Democratic
party can never again hope to obtain
control of the country.

LONGSTREET's LEvEEs.- There
is scarcely a curse now affecting
the country that cannot be traced
directly TO the ignorance and greed
of Radical legislation. The carpet
Dagger could see nothing worthy
of preservation in the admirable Ie-
wee systems of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, and went to work to substitute
new ones. We now see the fruits
of their labor, in the widespread
destruction that has been visited
upon the most fertile region of the
globe. In Louisiana the task OF
keeping the great river within its
banks, was entrusted to three COM
missioners, of whom Gen. Long.
street is one. Their compensat ton
was sufficiently provided for by 8
legislative enactment which sci
apart portion of the State take:
forsthat purpose. The present adj.
ministration, however, has wick.
eddy withheld the funds necessary
to the work, and as q matter o.
course the levees have been neglect
ed. In Mississippi a similar con
dition of things exists, and to thai
flock of buzzards from the North
that went down and possessed thc
the land of the defiers Of the best
government in the world, we cal
in strict truth ascribe much of the
misery and destruction that have
followed the late overflow.

THE MACHINE SHoPs.-There wa

THE MACHINE SHoPs.-There was
a meeting of the Mayor and Board
Of Aldermen on last Wednesday az
ternoom, to devise measures if posi-
BILE by which the machine shop ques-
ton might be placed before our peo-
pie in more tangible and explicit
shape. There is no opposition in any
quarter so far as we can learn, to an
appropriation for the purpose of Sc
curing the location Of "the shops
The only difference is as to the
amount of this appropriation. Some
think that we can afford to pay any
price for a shop that viii be even as
large as that of the Mobile and Ohio
r. r. Others think differently. But
all will agree that the people of Jack
son have a right to know something
as to the amount they win eventually
have to pay, how it is to be paid, and
what they are to get III return. We
must treat with a great corporation
justss we would with an individual,
and should know how much of the
bargain is to be on our side. After
we have ascertained precisely what
proposition we are expected to vote
upon, we will examine carefully the
correspondence between the authOri-
ties of the city and of the Central r.
r., and then endeavor to discuss this
subject with the fairness and calm
ness that its great magnitude calls for.
In the meantime the columns of the
Wing and Tribune are open to all
those who wish to be heard on this
question. We known that foolish
things will be said on both sides, that
there will be error in statements and
wildness IN conjecture-but we can
state positively that the entire com

The SOUTH WESTERN UNIvER-
sITY.-If we supposed that there
was a thinking man in Jackson or
Madison county, who by this time
had not fully realized the magni-
tude of the interest involved in the
effort now being male to secure
the location of this Institution of
learning in our midst, we might
feel inclined to discuss this matter
still further. But We believe that
our people understand this matter
fully, and therefore will do no more
than earnestly ask our readers to
attend the meeting to be held at the
Court House in this city on Mon
day next. The reports of the diff
ferent committees and canvassers
will then be made, and we will be
able to form some idea as to what
has been done.
