The Rochester E1laon says: "The north
ern half of the Union, with every ele-
ment of wealth and prospeTity'-with its
shops turning out the results of mechan-
ical skill, and the fields blossoming with
abundant harvests-is in a state of stag
nation because of the condition of the
South; for it is as much against reason
to expect that one half of the country
can be in a. sickly condition, approach
ing death, and the other half in healthy
condition, with vigorous life, as to eX-
pect that one side of ones body can be a
mass of putrefaction and the other side

a Startling Record.

A Southern journal, in recalling the
prominent actors in the great national
conflict, is struck with the difference in
their fates, so far as indicated up TO the
present hour. 1t says John Brown was
hanged on the soil of the State where he
struck the first blow for freedom" " Mr..
Lincoln, the first anti-slavery President,
died by an assassin's bullet, which yet
was scarcely more pitiless than the bio
graphy that afterwards tore his good
name to tatters Preston King, it is said,
committed suicide. Gcrrit Smith is said
to have lost his reason. jim Lane died
by his own hand, the victim Of remorsc
which even his fierce, iron nature could
not endure Horace Greeley died in de
feat and delirium amidst the cXccratiOns
of the party, which he had buildcd. Mr.
Beecher still lives, but only to look upon
the CHASTITY fragments of reputation
which was the greatest of all-t0rn to
pieces by his own friend, whom, i'm turn,
he has ground to dust under his heavy
heel Mr. Sumner died under the con-
demnation of his own party, having lived
the last two years Of his life under the.
condemnation Of his own State. Fremont
lives under the ban of outlawry issued by
a French court, before which he refuses
to appear TO answer charges of fraud.
Stanton, it has been declared died an
unnatural death-suicide by cutting his
throat has been intimated, and the facs
that at the funeral the face Of the corpse
was not exposed to view, has added to
the mystery and tended to strengthen
the belief in the tragical close of this
mans life. SO much for the terrible
fate of the anti-slavery leaders.
Turning to the South to look after
great antagonists on the other side, we
find that Mason, SBdeH, Soule, Brooks
and Wigfall, have died peacefully on
their beds; Stephens has lived to return
to Congress, and looms, Hunter, Wise
and Davis now see the wreck and ruin
of 50 many of their antagonists Slav-

CHARLEY ROSS WITH HIS

The Story of the Kidnapping al

case, like all thinks transient, is gradu-
ally disappearing from the public mind;
but before giving ii a final Sood-bye al
low me to offer youa theory, which thus.
far have not seen presented. l am n
ne1ghbor of Christian x. Ross, and we
neighbors have our thoughts and opin-
ions On tho subject of the child's disap-
pearance, which Think should BE pre-
sented to the world.
About ten years ago, when Christian
Ross was making his mark, and when
his business was in the most prosperous
condition, he married a Western lady,
of good family, and very wealthy. He
had two children Of the marriage. Wal
ter Ross and Charles Brewster Ross For
Il long time this was one of the happiest
families in all Philadelphia, but few
years ago Ross began to lead the life Of
a debauciice7 hceouglt other company
than his wife's, his business began to de
crease, and he became Il bankrupt. To
a refined and delicate woman like his
wife, this was a crushing blow, and she
fled from the man, leaving the children
in his care, and sought the protection of
her friends. To my knowledge no di-
vorcc ever took place between the par
ties, and short time after the flight Of
the wife, another woman took her place
in the family, who still occupies it.
The following is the theory of tho Sc
who know 1he family, and who are ac-
quaiHted with Ross personally:
Some months before the Kidnapping
Mr. Ross received letters from the first
and only wife asking and demanding the
childscn. II viii be rccollcctcd that
even up to this time The had refused to
show amy of the letters he received with
the exception Of the blackmailing note,
and II will also be Borne in mind that
the attempt was made TO steal both the
children 1t was mon until three days af-
ter the Kidnapping that the fact was
made public, and ut that time the chile.
was safely in the hands of its mother or
her friends in the West. We think Mr..
Ross knows now, and always did know,
where lI1s child is, but rcfraiucd from
making it public for family reasons. As
re egards the advertisements, blackmail-
ing note, &c, we think they are all for
gerics, written either by Ross himself or
his friends, intended to divert public at
tention from the facts. G.

items.


1.-Ncarly 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 ce1y
small per cent of original cost; the
balance of the cost having been land
is still being paid hy the taxes of the
people, and by the original stock
subscribers.
:S.-Prcscnt owners Of the railroads of
the State by getting control of the
roads i'll 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 20 to 40 per cent on their
actual outlay.
4.-These railroad owners are now DIS
TERMINATING AGAINST THE
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.
G.-They are charging, and always have
charged, rates of freight greater than
their charters allow them, and hare
Mus rto1ated Htefr charters and rcadered
them subject to .f0lteitu3e
1.-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 taaed accord
ing to it's value"
S.-The officers in charge of these roads,
are, and have been, exercising a very
cOrrupting influence upon the pub
Tic press, and various governmental
departments of the State, BY A
DESPICABLES SYSTEM OF DEAD
HEADISM. This system is danger

TO BE LEGISLATED OUT. OF

9.-These railroad corporations have
heretofore, to some extent, dictated
legislation in Tennessee. Their
power, at present rates, will soon be
such, that they will do for us, Of

done for the people of some other
States, dictate Through their wealthy
