AN enterprise IS said ito be on foot
IN Mobile to make money out of the civil
rights bill, in the event it becomes a law.
The projectors propose to 90 out upon the
plantations and select about ore hundred
of the ilthiest, blacklist greasiest, long
heeled and sinking negroes that can be
found, and take them just as they are bare
foot, half naked and dirty, male and
female alike, and start with them for the
North. Application will be made for
sleeping cars for them, hotels, etc, and
IN case of refusal civil suits will be COM
menced The cuHc, will be required to
stay in the elegant parlors, dining rooms,
smoking rooms, and everywhere else it is
calculated TO offend the noses and eyes
of the Northern aristocracy. The movers
in this strange enterprise expect to re-
afze fortunes out OF it,

4 CORRESPONDENT, who is himself a
man of ability and distinction, advocates
the nomination OF Col. F. C. DUENINGToS
for Governor. Col DUNNINGToS is man
of ability, and above even the suspicion
Of corruption or dishonesty. Indeed, one
Of his most distinctive features is hatred
of every form of corruption and dishOnes-
ty in politics. As we have said before,
We are in favor Of giving the nomination
TO West Tennessee, provided the Demo
Gratis of that section concentrate on
man Of frst-class ability, and of pure and
noble character but if they fail to do so,
and our fellow citizen named above is
nominated, we will give him our hearty
