INDICTMENT.
The People VS.. Railroad Corpora
tiOnS.


1.-Nearly all the railroads of the State
were built principally by State and
county aid; the balance of the cost
being furnished mainly by private
stock subscriptions among the farm
ers and others along the various
lines, and not by the capital of those
who now control the roads.
2.-This private stock which constitut-
ed only comparatively small pro
portion of the cost of the roads, has
passed out of the hands and control
of those who furnished even this
portion of the means to build the
roads, into the hands of the present
railroad owners, in and ont Of the
State, at about % cents ON the dol
lar. So that the present owners of
the roads have paid for them re1y
small per cent Of original cost; the
balance of the cost having been land
is still being paid by the taxes of the
people, and by the original stock
subscribers.
3.-Prescnt owners of the railroads OF
the State by getting control of the
roads in the manner they have,
have amassed immense wealth, and
in addition to the immense amounts
annually added to the value of the
railroads, are drawing princely salar-
les, and in many instances dividends
of from 90 to 40 per cent on their
actual outlay
4.-These railroad owners are now DIS
ELIMINATING AGAINST TIE
PEOPLE whose taxes and subsclip-
tions built the roads, and in favor of
foreigners, in their freight rates, to
such an extent as to badly cripple
the agricultural and other interests
of the State.
5.-They are charging, and always have
charged, rates of freight out of all
proportion to the actual cost of the
labor performed by them.
6.-They are charging, and always have
charged, rates of freight greater than
their charters allow them, and haze
thus Uiogdted their charters and rendered
them subject to forfeiture
7.-The railroad property of the State
has been hitherto exempted from
taxation, in violation of that clause
of the constitution whicn requires
that al property shall be tared accord
ing to its value"
31-The officers in charge of these roads,
are, and have been, exercising very
corrupting influence upon the pub
lic press, and various governmental
departments OF the State, BY A
DESPICABLE SYSTEM OF DEAD
HEADISM. This system is danger
Gus in its tendencies, AND OUGHT
TO BE LEGISLATED OUT OF
EXISTENCE.
9.-These railroad corporations have
heretofore, to some extent, dictated
legislation in Tennessee. Their
power, at present rates, viii soon be
such, that they viii do for us, of
Tennessee, what they have already
done for the people of some other
States, dictate Through their wealthy
our legislative policy, and (through
the ballot-box and their influence on
voters,) the judicial policy of the

Count Won Arnim's ImprisOn-
ment.

A lively sensation, intensified by mys-
terry, has been created throughout Europe
by the imprisonment of Count Won
Arnim on the charge secreting impor-
tant papers of which the German gov
ernment wishes to gain possession.
There is more curiosity about the con
tents of these documents, remarks tl.e
1 New York Herald, than on any other
point. for Bismarck's great anxiety 90
get hold of them indicates that they raT
of a compromising character, and tha-
their publication would be cspecillly
awkward for him. Won Arnim has been
subjected to strict prison discipline as
means of extorting either the papers or
a statement of the place where they ar
secreted; but if he has fortitude enough
to stand out the arrest and imprison-
ment will prove a great mistake. The
missing documents have been so senSa-
tionally advertised that if they should
ever be published they will be uniyer-
sally read with eager interest, whereas
they might otherwise have attracted lit
tie attention. If they contain damaging
facts Bismark is taking the surest way to
spread and extend the injury unless he
can eXtort their return by the severity
he is practising on Won Arnim. A Ber-
lin dispatch states that they have proba-
bly, been conveyed to England for safe
keeping, and, if so, they are beyond
reach of recovery, unless the contumaci-
Gus Count can be reduced to submission.
1t is rumored that the Emperor William,
who is at Baden, had no knowledge of
the arrest, and has required eNplana-
tions. Should the papers be published
it may turn out that concealment Of
of their contents from the Emperor was
more important to Bismarck than con
cealment FROM the public.
The Baltimore Gasette makes the
following good point in connection with
the arrest of Count Won Arnim, in Ger
many: There is not a republican pa
per which does not condemn the break
ing into the house of Count Won Arnim,
in Germany, and the seizure of his pa
pers, although the act was done by order
of IA court of competent jurisdiction.
The act is characterized as q highthand-
ed proceeding, an outrage, and Bismarck
is bespattered with all sorts of names for
supposed completely in it, when, in
reality, as far as we can see, he had
nothing to do with it further than insti-
tuting suit against the Count 1t is
wonderful what a clear insight into con
SfitutioDa1 riUltS a little distance giHy.
While our republican papers are NeuI-
ing their wrath on Bismarck anl .a
tyrannical German Government, actions
far more despotic arc taking place 0l.a.
out word uttered in condemnation, ea-
der their very eyes, and among tnr--
fellow-citizens, and by their own adu-i.-
istration."

Special Dispatch to courier-Journal.
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, Oct 12.-This
morning at Sixty-two Mile Siding, an
eating stand on the New Orleans and St.
Louis and Chicago railroad, two miles
north of Canton, Miss, an outrageous
and unlawful trespass upon individual
rights were perpetrated. Quite a num-
Der of the prominent Radicals of this
State and Louisiana, mostly colored,
were passengers on the nOrth-bound
train that breakfasts at Sixty-two Mile
Siding on their way to the Radical con-
ventiOn which is assembling at Chatta-
nOOga. Among the number may be
mentioned Shadd, the negro Speaker of
the Mississippi House of Representatives,
| Lynch, a negro Congressman; Pease a
United States Senator; Avery, a member
of the Legislature; Gibbs, the State
| School Superintendent; Ireland, the ne
gro president of AlcoTn University;
| Compton, Superintendent of the State
Asylum; Hill, the negro Secretary of
State of Mississippi. AS the passengers
filed into breakfast, they were assigned
to their seats by Major Raphael, the pro-
! prietor. One or two gentlemen, in the
hurry attendant on such occasions, hap
pened to take seats at-thesl ladies table,
! but, as soon as informed of it, arose and
went to their allotted seats. Hardly had
these left the ladies' table, when the
above named crowd of Radical disciples
gathered around it and sat down.
Instantly Major Raphael approached
them and told them that they were at the
ladies' table, asking them in polite terms
to exchange for one equally as good pro-
vided near by.
Ireland (colored) threw his clenched
fists violently upon the table and said;
We will eat upon this table, Orfight it,
just as you please. No give way in his
party"
Major Raphael, seeing that they were
determined to hold their places and carry
their point, told them then that his
walters should not serve them. Amidst
noisy behavior and much boasting, they
made their breakfast from what was on
the table, offering the usual price for the
meal as they departed, which Major Ra-
phel declined to receive
DIR. VIM. AT Compton encouraged
these fellows by sitting at the same table
with them, and thereby participating in
their indecent conduct. He was once
respected citizen of this place.
Pinchback was aboard of the train but
did not come out.
These lawiess men made boast before
they reached the eating-stand here that
| they intended to repeat at dinner what
they had done at breakfast; but, as many
of our citizens happened to be at the de-
pot when the train arrived, they very
wisely stood in the background

* A somewhat interesting Dialogue oc-
CURED at the Post-O Office Department yes
terday between the Postmaster-G General
and Senator Spencer and Representative
Hayes, of Alabama These two parties
called on the Postmaster-General to urge
upon him the appointment of an addi-
tional special agent to go to Alabama to
investigate the killing of the colored
mail-agent Jory, The Postmaster Cen
eTal regarded this as unnecessary. Messrs.
Spencer and Hayes were not satisfied,
and continued TO press the matter upon
him when he finally remarked that if
Jory had been attending to his official
duties instead of distributing incendiary
and inaammatory speeches among the
negroes he would probably never have
been molested. To this Mr.. Spencer re-
Joined that if some gentlemen had not
gone around the country making speech
es they would not be in the Cabinet. The
end of il was that the two had to with
draw without being able TO persuade the
Postmaster-General TO assist in their
scheme, which was to have one of their
own creatures appointed, who would
make such report as they should die

The Legislature For 1856

From the Nashville Banner.
While 1t Is natural the citizens of Ten
nessee sheuid feel deep interest in the Gu,
bernatorial canvass now in progress over
the State, this particular canvass should
not absorb the public attention to the eX-
clnsiOn of the even weightier question,
as to what shall be the character of our
next General Assembly. We have CON
tended from the first, that in view of the
material reforms required in our next
Legislature to a speedier relief of the poo
pie from the expressions of extravagant
government, the selection of representa-
tiyes to the next Assembly overtops and
foreshadows, in real and vital interest,
all other elections in the State at the
present time. The best brains of the
State are needed in the Legislature-will
be of greater service there, just at this
iunctAre, than in the Congress of the
United States. In Davidson county the
people have shown themselves fully alive
to the Importance of local legislation.
They have presented a ticket worthy the
emulation of their fellow-citizens of sis
ter counties. They are not only thus as
sured of its election, but assured that the
affairs of State wiH not he entrusted 10
incapable or corrupt hands. If the other
counties do half as well, they will do
themselves nor their State no greater ser
vice. In the excitement of Gubernato-
rial discussions and Senatorial prognos-
tications, let not the Legislature be for
gotten. It beAOoves the honest yeoman-
ry of the country who feel that they have
grand old commonwealth stiii worth
striving for, to take active part in all po-
litical movements I'm their counties and
districts looking TO the selection of Rep
resentatives. No extraneous Issues, con-
nected with other elections, should be
permitted to interfere with the selection
of the first men of every county and sem
atorial district. We again appeal to our
Democratic and Conservative friends
over the State, to look well TO their rep
resentation in the next General Assem-
