BEAR IN MIND.

Many of our prominent men two
years ago voluntarily made war upon
one of the ablest and most popular
members Of the Democratic party Of
Tennessee, which, unless they make the
ameRde honorable, Will cripple them for
life. They now have an opportunity Of
repairing a great wrong done an limo
cent individual and outraged people.
If wisdom and magnanimity abides
with them, we shall expect to see con-
ciliatory steps taken in that direction.
If they actually desire harmony and a
united party, they viii labor as zeal
ously to heal the breach as they did to
sever the party. They have 1t in their
power to give us peace or give us war.
If they still think it Will be better to
war upon him and destroy the party
and madly pursue that course, the fate
of the party has already been foretold.
But if they counsel concihatory meas
ures. and do that which ought to have
been done before, all Will be peace. and
the party viii march forward with its
ancient pride and honor when inspired
by its gifted and chosen champions.

AT the close of business OH the
last day of June, says the Vicks
burg Times, the clerks of the Post
Office Department assembled to say
goodbye to General CIeswell and
present to him resolutions express
i've of their high esteem of him as a
man and an officer. The General
closed a very appropriate reply by
saying that he never would have
retired of his own vOlitiOn, as he
had done, while any imputatiOn
against him remained unanswered !;
but this was no longer the case, and
he felt that he had effected every
reform which he could hOEe to ac-
complish by staying in Office until
the close of the Presidential terD.
He could now challenge any bank
ing or railroad corporation to show
a proportional amount of business
transacted with a prOpOrtiOnately
small loss in comparison with the
business of the POstOffice Depart
ment during his administration OF
its affairs.

THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL RAILROAD.

MEMPHIS, July An AcalGnche
Waler Valley, Miss, special says ::
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Mississippi Central Railroad,
held there yesterday, the action of
the directors indOIsing the legisla-
tive act consolidating the Missis-
sippi Central and New Orleans and
jackson Railroads, was ratified al
most unanimously. The cOnsolida-
ted roads to be known as the New
Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago
Railroad.
The issue OF consolidated stock is
to be one for three of the Missis-
sipi Central and two for three of
the New Orleans aud jackson Rail
roads.
The decision Of Chancellor Wal
Ter in regard to the Memphis and
Paducah Railroad, as reported yes
terday, has been modified, owing to
the act passed last winter by the
Tennessee legislature, permitting
the consolidation of the Mississippi
River and the Pa,iucah and Gulf
Railroads, so that the contracts are
not rendered invalid, as first re-
ported.

A meeting OF the Board of Super
visors was held Oh Monday last, the
proceedings of which will be found
in another column. Those who an
ticipated that stupidity and igno-
rance would characterize their pro-
ceedings, on account of their being
ignorant negroes" were disap-
pointed. ALI orders and allowances
made were carefully considered and
a determination was evinced by all
of the Board to make no allow
ance out of the county treasury but
those authorized by law and absO-
lutely required. A large number of
bills were presented for allowance
and laid over until the next meet
ing. for the claimants to furnish
bills of particulars and proofs of the
Justice of their claims. There were
a large number of citizens present,
as was also Judge Downs, who, as
attorney for the Madison County
Changers, was looking after the in
terests of the taxpayers.
Judge Downs was heard to re-
mark that he was highly pleased at
the spirit of retrenchment and econ
omy manifested by the Board. 9th
er citizens, taxpayers of the coun-
ty, belonging to the Democratic par
ty, expressed the same views.
Among other acts, the Board
abolished the office of superinten-
dent of roads and bridges, believing
it. to be an expense to the county
without corresponding benefits. We
congratulate the members of the
Board upon the good impressions
made upon the public by their pro-
ceedings on Monday last, and we
trust that their proceedings in the
future will be guided by a desire to
economically manage the affairs OF
the county.

THOSE SIGN BOARDS.

At a meeting of the Board Of SUI
pervisors, June Sth, an allowance
was made for making, painting ana
putting up sign-boards and posts on
the public roads throughout the
county. At the meeting on Mon
day last an additional allowance
was made for the same purpose, only
a portion of the bill having been al
lowed at the previous meeting. Be
lievipg this eXtravagant and un-
necessary, we have made inquiries
concerning the same from members
of the Board, and learn that the al
lowance was made i'll pursuance OF
a contract entered into some time
ago. The members of the Board
profess not to have known the ma
ture aud expense of the contract at
the time it was made, and are much
chagrined to find that they had au-
thorized such a large expenditure
of the public funds for this purpose,
but believing that Mr.. Giles had i'll
good faith performed the work, they
could do no less than allow his bill,
according to contract. making de-
duction for some errors IN posting
the boards.
The posting of the public roads
has hitherto been done by the over
seers at little or no expense to the
county, and we exceedingly regret
that it was rendered necessary fol
the Board to make this expenditure
but we are satisfied that the result
Of this contract will not soon be for
gotten Dy the members of the Board
and believe they will, in great
measure. atone for the same by in
creased diligence and a close scru
tiny of all contracts entered into by
them in the future.

The Rush to Kansas and Colorado.

The indications are that the rush to Kan
s;ls and Colorado will he greater than ever
in 1874. The shortest way to reach the far
West is through st. Louis, the great Alissis-
slppi Valley City, of over 41o,000 inhabi-
tants and thence west over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Mort hcrn Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
West and runs SIX fast express trains, two
more than any other road, between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. This road, in
the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings i'll eNtraor-
binary improvements of roadway, in relay
ium IFS line with the best quality of new
steel and iron rails on broad new ties, and
in passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary cars new reclining chair coach
es with every appliance for comfort and
safety, being elegantly fitted with dressing
rooms with toilet convenenccS for ladies
and gentlemen and families travelling with
children, free of any extra charge. Any
ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent
route through st. Louis over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
hest and shortest to Kansas Colorado, Ne
braska, California, and the Great Wcst-it
being the only line running through cars
between st. Louis and Omaha. For map

Crop Prospects.

Planters generally report good
stand OF cotton with an excellent
prospect for full crop. The recent
evenly over the county, have as
Sured an average crop of corn,
which, with the increased acreage,
will, we hope, give an abundance
for home cOnSumptiOn.--H
Springs South.
Monday evening a heavy driving
rain and wind from the west visited
this section, and during the night
another rain, II perfect ground
soaker, passed over the country
generally. These rains will secure
/ he corn crop beyond a doubt, and
do abundance of good for the cotton.
HerndndO Press.
Crops in the four counties COM
manded by the trade of BrOOkhaven
still continue to improve. With the
exception of early corn in some
places, the prospects are better for
Il good crop than this time last
year, and will be made at less than
half the expense of last year.
BrOoklarcn Citizen.
Since the water has subsidized and
the dry land reappeared, we are
told that there is a possibility OF
having as good crop as If we had
not been hindered by high water.
This is more than encouraging to
all. We hope that every effort may
be put forth to make the production
this year a success in every particu-
lar. This can be done by hard and
continued labor, with occasional
showers. Work and hope for the
best.-Ya-0O Herald.

THE PROHIBITORY LIQUOR LAW.

We at length reached the hotel
again, and l proposed Il glass of
brandy and water. My friend looked
at me and then at the landlord and
then the landlord looked at my
friend and then at me. Perplexity
overspread the cOuntenances of both.
''Such a thing as drop of liquor is
not to be had in the place" said the
landlord.
Thought, you mean," retorted my
friend.
Bought, 1 mean," was the an
swer.
Then both eyed me significantly.
"Does anybody give it away p l
inquired, greatly puzzled by tie
mystery that appeared on both OF
their countenance<.
''NOt exactly. You see the State
cOnstables would be after me in no
time, if l sold liquor" explained the
landlord. "Do you want some very
badly ?"
could not explain how badly l
wanted it, and could only give vent
to my feelings in sigh.
Without IL word the landlord dis
appeared within the recesses of a
small room behind the office desk,
and presently came forth with two
empty tumblerS in his hand. These
he placed upOn the desk.
"But where is the liquor % l in
quiz ed.
The law fOrbids me to sell it,
he said, ''and dare not disobey the
law. If you can find any here. you
are welcome to it" saying which he
accidentally turned back the breast
OF his coat. The neck of bottle
peeped forth from the inside pocket.
He winked bis eye at me, and
winked my eye at him; after which

struggled with me to prevent the
daring robbery upon which l was
bent, but l was ineXOrable.
"My private bottle kept for medi

with alacrity.
