A Free Country.

According to the kilograms from Alabama
the Federal marshals are very active, and
the soldiers are prompt in obeying orders.
They enter peoples houses and put domicls
and persons under guard-and put handouts
and chains upon men-sometimes arrestng
man of the same surname with an accused
person, but Of different given name, and
holding the wrong man until the right man
is found-and allowing prisoners to be in
suited and mal!reated on their way, of many
miles, to their place of imprisonment and
trial. All this, too, when there are State
officers and State processes for pursuing
criminals and Furnishing crimes.
If anybody can read the accounts of the
unlimited interference of Federal power in
the southern States without seeing that free
government in this country as our ancestors
understood 1t is dead he is too wesk-minded
or prejudiced to draw a,simple deduction
from incontestible facts. In Texas, Louisi-
ana, Alabama, and Tennessee, the Fede.
rai authority is displayed In manner that
excludes utterly all pretence that the States
have any existence save in name and boun-
Diary. They have no power that the Fede.
raj Government Is bound to respect, and
they dare no. dispute the right OF the Fede-
gal Executive to- do with them as he pleases.

TH1RD-TEaA1sM.-The air is full of, if not
saturated with, rumors that, in obedience
to the memorable demands of friends in GER
tain heretofore faithful regions, President
Grant is about to relinquish bis professions
to- be again a candidate. So precise a form
do these rumors take that even time and
place are indicated, and it is confidently as
serted that the coming Convention at Chat.
tanooga is the occasion when silence is to be
broken. The story runs that this demand
comes with decisive emphasis from New
England, and more especially from New
York. Perhaps that portion Of New Eng
land which is still adhesive could be man.
aged, though New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut would have to be definitely relinquished
but New York, 1t is conceded, must be lost

THE AIRLINE RAILWAY COMPANY En-
JoINED-A BIG SUIT THREATENED.-The At
huta Constitution tells us that on Thursday
bill for an injunction was heard in the Su-
perior Courtroom at Atlanta which Will
probably lead to railroad fight. 1t seems
that on the 10Th Of September a bill was
filed by the Georgia Railroad Company
through their attorneys, Messrs. Hillycr &
Brother, against the Airline Railroad Com
pany and B. 7. Sage, superintendent The
complainants say that their rght-of-way has
been infriRged upon by the Airline Com
pauy. The defendants have laid down their
main track along and upon the north side of
compliments right Of way, claiming the
right to do so under some authority derived
from complainauts through the Georgia
Airline Railroad" the former corporate
name of the defendants, and under resolu.
ton passed by companants' board of di-
rectors in 1869. They deny that the presi-
dents of the two companies have ever agreed
upon any portion of said unoccupied space
to be occupied by defendants, but without
authority defendants located their main
track upon their said right-of-way.
Complainants charge also that defendants
have laid several side-tracks and are now
digging an excavation upon their right-of-
way. They charge further that the defend
ants are insolvent, and cannot answer in
damages in the event the amount of such
damages could be assessed and proven at
law. Hence they ask for an injunction.
After hearing the evidence and argument
the Court ordered that an injunction issue
as prayed for, to remain of force until the
hearing Of the cause in court, or until fur
ther order, said injunction to restrain the
defendants from occupying any new or other
point of the soil of compIainants' right.of-
way than that the defendants had used and
occupied with their track before the con-
struction Of the new track described in the
bill was begun, but said Injunction not to
operate as to prevent the defendants from
using their former track to the location and
condition they were in when the recent new
| track was begun.

Union, MONROE COUNTY, W. Va, I
October G. 1874,

October 6, 1874.
William p. Burwell, Esq:
My Dear Sir,-On arriving at home last
night from the Giles Circuit Court (where
bad been since the 25th ultimo) / received
your letter of the Goth ultimo, which will
account for my not answering at once, and
which regret. would not have been able
to have been with you on the 29.h ultimo, but
could have given my views in letter to you !;
but should greatly prefer to give my views
| in speech, as I should be able to 60 more
into detail, and be better able to reply to the
objections and arguments of opponents. 1
have read your speech as reported in the
Wing, and agree fully in all the views pre-
scented by you; but l think you have not yet
fully comprehended the immense unde-
veloped wealth lying west of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad in the counties
Of Giles. Bland, Tazewell, Russell, and Wise.
There is tract of land lying and being in
the counties of Giles and Bland which has
been reported upon by one Of the abest
geologists in the United States, who says that
nearly the whole Of it is bed Of iron, and
That the deposit is greater than that Of the
iron mountains of Missouri; that ten fur
naces fully worked could not consume it in
one thousand years. The coal on the line is
\
any portion of the United States. So that if
this road should be built, the iron, coal, and
lumber of the five counties west of the At
laDtic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad and the
county of Pulaski would furnish freight
that would work 4 single.track road to its
full capacity without pound Of freight
from the Ohio and Mississippi valley;
so that double track would in short time
be absolutely necessary to supply the de.
mands Of the trade. So far as the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad is concerned, it will
with Louisville and Cincinnati, to carry one
half the freight that will seek transportation
upon it, and fear very much that it is i'm
possible TO construct an additional track upon
it owing to the formation of the cliffs, &C.,
that it passes through; at least, if another
track could be constructed it would be at
such an immense cost as would forbid an in-
vestment for the purpose. So that there can
be no reason whatever for opposition to the
Richmond and Trans-Alleghany railroad by
the friends of the Chesapeake and Ohio road.
When the fall courts are over (Which will
be in about month) would be pleased to
address The people Of Richmond or the
Council on the importance to them Of this
road If you should think I could be Of any
service 10y so doing. The people Of Rich
mond would certainly be doing great injus-
tice to the interests of their city by not
giving willing and hearty support to this
Improvement. l am, with the highest regard
and esteem, your obedient servant,
A. A. CHAPMAN.

General Chapman. ~
To The Editors Of The Richmond Dispatch
Enclosed you will find letter from Gene
raj Chapman, of Monroe, the "Nestoro OF
the internal improvement party Of Virginia
In her past days, who. in oDjlnction with
Allen L. Caperton, tolled Eastern Virginia
into the construction. Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad by holding up the incalculabie
mineral wealth OF that section on The moor
OF the Legislature.
In this letter the thoughtful minds OF our
city will recognize an authoritative statement
of tie vast mineral wealth of that southwest
section which is to be pierced and developed
by the Trans.Alleghany Narrow Gauge rail-
road and, coming from one. Of the most pro.
nounced friends Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, will go far, trust, in dispelling the
fears of those who entertain the idea that it
will be damaging competitor of the same.
In view of the vast importance of this road
to Richmond in restoring that balance which
she has lost in the internal Improvement
system Of the State, let us call meeting at
an early day to hear such speakers as Gene
raj Chapman on line Of road daily growing
in the estimation of our people.
Yours, very respectfully, W. 2. B.

THE APPLE.BL0sSOM.

o bloom of the apple so bright
Rich rose-bloom, dissolying in white
When Ph9buss brush
Wrought thy beautiful blush.
1t must have been dipped in the dawns
tender flush
OF softest, most exquisite light
The blossom of Ariel art thou
The blossom that hangs on the bough.'
That sweet cowslip bell
wild story might tell
Of his feats ON the svard, where thy petals
SO well
Adorn its grave malachite brow.
He may lead pretty Nab by the hand
To trip with his hghted-footed band
Here, on blossom-strewedr rings,
While the nightingale sings,
And the bats wheel in time with their
broad tapping wings,
Til they bear the fays home to their land
o. bloom of the apple my rhyme
3 hould be read after days golden prime,
When flowers 90 to sleep
And pale stars rise and peep
Into orchards where sprites a long reyel
might keep
And elin harps airily chime.

Puzzled.

Printing, being comparatively
speaking, of recent date, how do We
account for the transmission, or rather
accuracy, of the text of the Bible; also
Homer's works? The latter is the old
er-that is Homer came before Christ. "
We cannot account for that we know
not of, and there is in fact no actual
guarantee that either the text of the
Scriptures or of Homer's poems are
strictly accurate. Prior to the era OF
printing, MSS. were all written on
parchment or similar materials, and it
is scarcely possible that in the repeated
copyings they would necessarily be
subjected to. they could escape errors.
not necessarily affecting the truth, but
rendering the accuracy of the text de
cidedly doubtful. According to the
theory which carries along with it the
greatest amount of probability, Homer
fourished in the second century after
the taking of Troy, from about 3. C.
1010 to b c. 954, from 165 to 200 years
after the Trojan era, having been born
