Ii Is hardly probable that the resolution report
ed by Mr.. Hays, Of Alabama. chairman OF the
House Agricultural Committee, and passed by
the House in December last, providing that
5000 copies OF the report Of the Com missioner
OF Agriculture be printed, will pass the Senate
until some provision IL made by Congress for
the distribution OF the report free OF cost to the
members. When the resolution reached the
Senate 1t was referred to the Committee ON
Printing, and IL Is understood that that com
mittes will make no report on the subject, and
that they hold that the Senate would decline TO
pass the resolution under present circumstance
no matter how strongly Ii might be recommend
ed. Meanwhile members of Congress are re-
ceiving letters bv the peck from their constit-
uents, asking why they cannot get copies Of the
report In question. The appropriation for pay
ing country correspondents OF the Agricultural
oePaFtment having failed, the latter Is left
wltnont the material with which to compile
me monthly reports relative to the condition
vi tne crops lt 10 evident that Congress ought
e,ner 70 aoolish the department altogether or
.Hhe sucn measures ~ will ct least place 1t on
NC saas 'oeung 1t occupied three years ago.

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1874-01-15

The CITIZEN is one of the largest pa
pers published in the south, and being
printed in and for Pulaski and Giles
county, ought to be read and patronized
by the people of Pulaski and Giles coun-
ty. During the past few months we
have incurred a very heavy expense to
put a new and costly cylinder press in
to our Office, to enable us to print our
paper with more facility and neatness,
and TO keep step with the progress and
Improvement of our town and county.
We want every man in Giles county to
read the CITIZEN this year. Now is the
time to commence. This Is the first of
a new year, and on the Sth inst we will
issue the 1st number of a new volume.
Only 81 per annum for large 36 col
umn HOME paper, printed on Cylin-
der press, and containing besides all the
local and foreign news and vast guam
tity of miscellaneous reading, inform
alton worth ten times two dollars year.
1t is positive economy for every head of
a family or housekeeper to pay 81 for
his county paper. Then come right
along TO-DAY and hand the publisher
your name and money. Don't put it of
till tomorrow. You have a county pa
per equal to any in the South in every
respect, and you ought to help sustain it.

The Advantages of The Mem
phis ~ Knoxville Road
to PulnslSi.

There may be some who think that
the Memphis & Knoxville road will not
benefit Pulaski. To those who sincere
Iy entertain such an opinion we propose
10 submit some facts for their considera-
ton. The trade OF Lawrence county
now goes 10 Florence Ala, Columbia,
Tenn, and to Wales Station. Very lit
tie OF It comparatively comes 10 Pulas-
XII. with railroad from Pulaski to
Lawrenccburg all of this trade would
come to Pulaski except what was done
I'm the country. Having narrow gaage
road, articles could be transported cheap
" 20 this place and here they would find
a market. The amount of this trade
would increase every year as that coun-
~ increased in wealth, as it certainly
would. Even now they manufacture in
Lawrence county 1000 bales of cotton :;
with this railroad the amount would be
increased TO at least 5000 bales per anum.
Its probable that the manufacturing in
dustries of that county would be so de-
veloped that they would be compelled to
get their supplies from Giles and adjoin-
ing counties. This would furnish mar
Ret for many of our surplus products,
and we would get in exchange the man
ufactures from that county. There is no
calculating the value of that trade.
Even now the transportation on the ar
ticles used and transported By the Law
renee factories amounts to $4,000 per
annum. There are thousands of arti-
Cles, such rs timber, tan-bark, and vari-
Gus things of that kind now of no value
in Lawrence, that would come into de-
mand aud furnish valuable source OF
commerce. All of this Pulaski by
prompt action and little liberality may
command.
We have not alluded to the valuable
iron ore la the county, because we want
ed 20 make this the subject of another
article. The new trade of Lawrence
county, very little of which we now get,
would Justify Pulaski in building with
out delay a railroad to Lawrenceburg.
Our object should be to enlarge our
commercial boundaries and get Re30
trade. This the NJ. q X. Il. X. viii give
as. BY hesitation we may lose it for
ever. Our advantages as a manufact-
uring city, with shat road, we win dis
cuss hereafter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The following
dispatch was this morning sent to Gov.
Davis by the President:
EcecutiUe Mansion, Jan. II, 1S74.-TO
Gov. Davis, Austin, Texas: Your dis
patches and letters reciting the action of
the Supreme Court of Texas in declar-
ing the late election unconstitutional,
and asking the use of troops to prevent
apprehended violence, is received. The
call is not made in accordance with the
constitution of the United States and
the acts of Congress under it, and can
not therefore be granted. The act of
the Legislature of Texas providing for
the recent elections having received
your approval, and both political par
ties having made nominations and hav-
ing conducted the political campaign
under its provisions, would it not be
prudent as well as right to yield to the
verdict of the people as expressed by
their ballOtsS y, S. GRANT.

THE ANGEL STAR.
LINES BY Z. o.


was sitting, gazing thoughtful
On the glories of the sky,
When a starbeam, bright and lovely,
Candy fell upon my eye;
And the star was OF such beauty,
Flaming in the vault above,
That I fancied 'twere an angel,
ROBBED il Gods immortal love.
Then nv heart sank sad and lonely,
For [ wondered, with a sigh,
Whose bright spirit is it gazing
Out from yonder realm so high,
Is it some brave soul who meekly
Bore his cross unto the end?
And has he and l e'er hOnOred
Each the other as his friend?
As I gazed the star grew fairer,
And it CLEANED on me so mild,
Just as would tender mother
Smile upon her first-born child.
Oh is it YOU, then, Mother, darling,
ROBBED in robes of life and light,
Keeping watch while am CROPPING
In the darkness of the nightF
And the angel star beside you
Shedding down its light so fair,
Is it that kind 'Aunt' you promised,
Mother dear, to meet her thereP
For three days ago we laid her
In the graveyard, close by yous
And placed fiowery cross above her ;
Then we bade our last adieu.
You are "co-heir with our Jesus"
To the Fathers crown of light;
So feel that now see you
In the glorious stars of night,
For the Father and the Savior
And the Spirit are but one;
And / know you are engrafted
In the body of the Son.
Home, sweet home is sad and silent
For we miss your tender love,
And when sorrOws crowd upon us
Smile thou angel star above.
Smile upon us in thy beauty,
Kiss us with thy gentle light;
Farewell Mother, dearest darling,
Angel star-beam-now goodnight

PULASKI.
Interest in the Memphis Mu-
nicipaI Observation-Disclosures
and Railroads.

From the Memphis ARpeal.l
PULASKI, Tenn, December %, 1873
Your municipal election is attracting
great interest throughout the country.
Surely your people who suffered so
much, and who drew forth the sympa
thies of the whole country, are not now
going to elect a set of men who will
pay no attention to the sanitary cOndi-
ton of the city, and who will do moth
ing toward relieving her from her dis
tressed financial situation. Neither
personal nor party considerations should
influence your people in this most i'm
portant election. Any mere personal III
valry or jealousy should be ignored
when the fate of Memphis is at stake.
Certainly there are many, very many
Republicans who will not be willing to
sacrifice the interests and welfare of
Memphis to put John League in office.
These remarks are made because we feel
an interest in Memphis, hoping that
General Nicely may succeed in few
years in giving us q direct connection
with your city. We have here re-
markable instance of what manufact-
uring company, managed with energy
and skill, may do. The Richland Fact
ory, at this place, under the supeFinten-
dence of Mr.. Sam Orr, is g decided sue
cess. They run sixteen hundred spin
dies, several looms, consume three hun
dred and fifty bales of cotton per an
mum, employ seventy-flve men, and use
twenty-nine hundred bushels of coal, at
twenty-five cents per bushel, They
make very fine article of domestic,
and also very excellent wooden goods.
No portion of the country would be
better suited for manufacturing than
this, if we only had yoaF Memphis &
Knoxville road to connect us with the
iron of Lawrence and Wayne, and with
the coal at Sewanee, and then TO give us
market at your city for our manufaC-
tured articles. We think your people
do not appreciate the importance of the
trade of this region or you would make
more efforts to connect your city with
US, We think Pulaski has increased in
trade since the war more than any inte-
rior town In Middle Tennessee. We
have an enterprising people here, who
are willing TO do whatever is necessary
to promote the wealth of our town OF
| the wealth of our county. We have fine
schools and excellent society. Our
church advantages are equal to those of
any other town. Pulaski is ready to
clasp hands with Memphis and give you
portion of our trade. Do you want
us2 We have one of the finest vine
yards In the State. 1t formerly belong

erty of some energetic men who intend

great abundance.
