ICoMMUNICATED.l
A correspondent from Mckenzie has this to
say about the Evansville, jackson and New
Orleans Railroad:
Take Evansville as starting point and
travel south, in the direction Of Jackson, YOU
viii find that it is the best portion of Southern
Kentucky; and after passing through Kentucky
on that line and striking Tennessee on the
Henry county line, all the time going IN the
direction CT Jackson, you will soon come 10
the thriving little village OF Como, situated u
miles West Of Paris, in Henry county. Como
is one Of the wealthiest inland towns in West
Tennessee. Leaving here and still travelling in
4 sOutherly direction you next come 70 MeKen-
zie, where the Nashville and Northwestern
Railroad crosses the Memphis and Louisville
Railroad. And l tell you, to-day, that the
town of Mckenzie can boast Of something that
no other railroad junction in West Tennessee
can; it is this-I find the best Hotel there that
ever saw in any country-town- And IwilI
further state that the people or the town OF
Mckenzie are industrious and enterprising,
and are all-alive 70 the Evansville and Jackson
Railroad, and II they can have fair showing
they will contribute as literally as any set OF
people on the line. Now, TO leave Mckenzie
stu going in the direction of Jackson, you
travel over portion OF the best Lands in West
Tennessee for distance OF about ten miles,
when you come 10 the town of McLemoresyille.
in Carroll county, which Is = thriving village,
and has OF late assumed the appearance OF bush
ness Since the work on the Tennessee Cen
traI Railroad has all been very near completed
from Huntingdon to Trenton there IS not an
indivt lual about McLemoresvllIe but what is a
friend 70 Jackson, so far as securing the great
and important connection that Will be had by
the Evansville line. Leaving McLemoresviue
there Is one mile Of road-bed now done and
ready for the reception of the cross-ties and
rolling stock and not only this, believe that
there could be other assistance in the town OF
McLemOresville, rather than miss. And after
leaving NIcLemoTesville Il is needless for me
10 undertake 70 tell your readers what Lavinia
and Spring Greek viii do in the way or sub
scriptons, and presume that you know all
about the country along the line OF Madison
and Carroll. FRIEND.

Judges under the Constitution there
should be elected six Judges OF the
Supreme Court. In the event of n
vacancy in the Office of either Of the
said six Judges at any time after the
18th Of January, 1873, it was fHther
ordained that the vacancy should re-
main untitled, and the Court consist
of five Judges. While it consists of
six members it can sit Elm sections, F"
but afterwards must transact business
as one body.
From the foregoing it will be man
ifest that the Supreme Court as now
constituted can perform NEARLY dou-
BILE the amount Of labor that it could
if we we're 20 lose one of the Judges.
The volume Of the business before
the court has already been greatly
diminished, and after n while may
become manageable in the hands of
the Court as formerly constituted.
Litigants and lawyers in all 'portions
of the State are anxious TO have the
benefit of the two sections as long
as possible. This plan has its obvi-
GUS disadvantages, but it is certain
ly better that there should be an end
to the accumulated business now be-
fore the court, even if errors should
be committed than that il should con-
time to glut the dockets, and wear
out the minds and souls, the pockets
and patience Of the parties to 1t.
The lawyers Of the State understand
this fully, and as they have very much
to do in shaping the public sentiment
in regard to candidates for the higher
offices, and rs they are anxious that
the present status of the Cont
shall remain unchanged, there has
been but little effort made in any di-
rection to take gubernatorial or sem
atorial candidates from the Supreme
bench. The Judges themselves re
cognize the high obligation that they
owe to the people Of the State in the
particular named, and seem averse to
enter the political arena. The court
as now constituted has the respect
and confidence Of the people. II it
performing n vast amount of neces-
sary labor, and we hope that neither
death nor the opportunities of friends
will interfere with its present COM
position, and that each one of our
Supreme Judges may live out his
term, and still have a long reserve of
strength and usefulness left. If, how
ever, any Legislature or State con-
yeniiop of Tennessee should at any
time during the four years Of Office
still left to these gentlemen, see prop
er to call them to other fields of Ia
Dor and honor, we do not know that
any man could reasonably enter an
objection to it.

CHIEF JUSTICE NICHoLsoN.-A cor
respondent whose opinions on all sub
jects are entitled to attention, asks
"How it chances that among all those
whose names have yet been mentioned
by the press of Tennessee, in eonnec-
ton With the Office of United States
Senator, Judge A. o. P. Nicholson
has thus far been oyerlooked?"
Certainly not because our venera-
BILE Chief Justice lacks anything in
dignity, ability or reputation. The
honor and the best interests of the
State would be safe in his hands, and
we do not go beyond the limits of ex-
act statement, when we say that there
is no Office in the gift of the people of
Tennessee, or Of the country at large,
that he would not fill worthily and
faithfully. We must look elsewhere,
therefore, for an answer to the ques-
ton of our correspondent. The
duties, composition and powers of
our present Supreme Court are some
what anomalous. By Sec. 2nd, Art,
6, of the Constitution, it is declared
.lat the Supreme Court shall consist
five judges. The Convention,
ever, recognizing the fact that,
to the accumulated business
ne dockets of that court, right
ltice were not being admins
fithout delay, as guaranteed
Bill of Rights ordained in the
&c. oiathe Schedule to the Con-
alton that at the first election of

A London letter says, in the
eastern counties of England a very
bitter conflict has broken out be
tween the farmers and laborers
! The latter have joined the union
which was started couple of years
go, with its now headquarters ia
1 Warwickshire, and have demanded
an extra shilling a week. This has
been refused, aud the laborers have
consequently struck on one or tws
farms, and the farmers generally
have retaliated by locking out al
the union men and declaring tina
henceforth they will only employ
! non-unionists. 1t is said the land
lords are supporting the farmers
and threaten to eject the tenants
who do not hold aloof from all rela
tons with uniontsts.

THE JACKSON CoURIER.-The
intentions of a paper that in the
face of the Ohio and Connecticut
elections, can assert that there Is no
cause for Democratic rejoicing in
those elections, cannot be misinter-
preted. To make his meaning plain
or still, however, the editor of that
paper, in his issue of the 18th inst,
after casting a lingering glance to
wards the burial places of the Gam
ielaIs at whose feet he imbibed his
deep love and reverence" for Dem
ocratic principles, makes his
adieus to these principles and to
those who still entertain them, in
the following heart-breaking words.
'The stern logic of events forces
its leaden weight upon US, and we
are driven to that point where we
must avoid obstacles we cannot
overcome. There is not q doubt
but the principles the Republican
party processes to teach and practice
have a stronger hold upon the con-
fidence and affections of large ma
jority of the American people, than
those of any other party now in
existence"
And thus we lose to the Demo-
crazy the invaluable services of an
Independent Journalist" AS he
''homeward plods his weary way"
we hope that "the leaden weight"
which now bows his soul in grief,
may by degrees be lessened and that
among new faces and new associa-
tions his tranquility may be re-
stored.
