SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

From the New York Sun, Jan. 6.
If the Senate Judiciary Committee
remain in any doubt respecting the
case of George H. Williams, let them
summon Mr.. Gazaway B. Lamar and
ascertain from him what lawyer of
Washington made to him the PROPOSE
ton that on the payment by him of
$4,000 cash the appeal to the Supreme
Court which the Department of Justice
has interposed against the decision of
the Court of Claims ordering the pay
ment to Mr. Lamar of 100000 or up
ward from the Treasury, on account of
cotton claims, should be withdrawn,
and Lamar thus be enabled to obtain
the money.
Having got the name of this lawyer
from Mr.. Lamar, let the committee then
examine the lawyer with view of as
certaining whether or no he was author
lied to make that proposition to Lamar
by Mrs. Williams, the wife of the At
torney- General
If these inquiries are conducted with
earnestness and judgment, the commit
tee may possibly learn something In
structive as to the propriety of confirm
ing Williams as Chief Justice.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial states that
Senator Logan, Of Illinois, got "set-
tier" on the 9Th inst. as follows:
senator Stewart created no little
excitement in the Senate this morning,
while discussing the repeal of the Sala-
~ bill, by calling the taking Of the back
pay by its proper name-a "steal. "
What steal - exclaimed Logan, eX-
citedly. Did you say steal:" Eyes, +"
replied Stewart, IF we have taken this
money unlawfully, as the people say
We have, it Is steal Mr.. Logan did
not interrupt the Nevada Senator
again. Apparently the latter under
stood the meaning Of the language he

Put them Up.

Ifthere was ever a time that demand
ed men of brains In the Legislature, that
is now. The people of Tennessee have
committed in the past 4 most egregious
blunder in sending from many counties
a set of political nin-eOmpOOps to Nash
Vile, to legislate for the common
wealth, that 10 not know the first nor
the last principle Of lazy making. This
has been the case MORE or less ever since
1858. and has cest the State of Tennessee
not less than ten millions of dollars.
These Solons have allowed this much
money IN the form ut bogus bonds issued
without any warrent of law to wild eat
railroads, to be paid into the safe
treasury ty tbs railroads OF the State.
The people have ehquired Of Fhepl
when they would return home alter 9

fbe state finances were, and what OF
these bogus bonds; and a don't know

Ale Burnett.

ALI Burnett played to small house
in Pulaski last Thursday night, in con-
sequence of the article published in the
CITIZEN of that day calling to mind his
actions during the Graut-Greeley cam
paign. He denied the facts stated in
that article and got out a circular from
this office to that effect during the day,
but it did him little good. He went
through the same programme, word
for word and gesture for gesture, which
he has produced twice before in
Pulaski. If he ever comes this way
again we'd advise him to change his
programme; and likewise his name, if
he wants an audience.

PULASKI.



A correspondent of the Banner views
Pulaski from an sup tree" position,
and here are his impressions:
'tFor a mile or more the beautiful
streets swept on toward the chain OF
hills girdling the city. Along on either
side arose the mansions of the town, and
further on arose some more mansions.
These broad avenues ran into a square,
about the middle of the town, then ran
on again from the other side.
As well as my gaze revealed, this
square was filed with doctors, mer-
chants, lawyers, mechanics, citizens and
people of the city generally; all work
ing, walking, talking and trading with
deep anxiety for sFNo. l." On the one
side stood a row of fine buildings with
a row Of fine stores in them, their cOun-
tiers lined with yard sticks and trading
people. On the other side stood tive
cotton brokers' lowering over bale of
the same, and the placid granger stood
ready to receive higher bid for his
produce. On still another side stood
three brokers who had been ''swamped"
on "A margin two days previous. On the
fourth side stood a yellow dog-Iost.
Then l came down from my eyrie-
stood awhile-and waddled up to ho-
tel.
This is how it appeared ''tO a man up
Il tree, p" but it was not all saw. After
being in Pulaski one day, / saw that |
had landed in one of the most delightful
little cities of Tennessee. Courteous
landlords, affable merchants, talented
lawyers, skillful doctors, and brave
hearted mechanics, all stretch out the
hand of welcome to visiting stranger.
They are justly proud of their city, and
invite immigration to their county in
genuine good faith. When the time
came for shaking good-byes, there was
none ever left their pleasant society
with more sincere regret than
BULLErF.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1874-03-05

9,426 bales of cotton have been ship
ped to Nashville from Pulaski to Feb.
oath. 1t costs $I.75 per bale to ship
this cotton, which gave TO the railroad
freights to the amount of SIG, 1850.
These are actual figures. Now suppose
that the whole crop when shipped shall
amount to $4,000. Let's see the freight
bill: $4,000 bales at $l.75 per bale is
$26, 25O. 1t costs Decatur, forty=fYe
miles further from Nashville, 75 cents
per bale, because there is competition
there. On 10, 200 bales she would pay
81. $50. The difference between this
and our freight bill on the same number
of bales is just $15,s00.
Then it costs the cotton growers of
GILES county just 5000 a year because
they have no competing railroad. But
hold, we're too fast. Pulaski Is so
miles from Nashville, and Decatur 100.
Decatur pays 20 cents bale, then Pu-
lasLd should pay only two-thtrds of this
per bale, being just two-thirds the dis
lance, which is 90 cents per bale. Now
tie figures: She pays now $26,25o for
moving Is, 600 bales OF cotton-she will
nav then 1880. She loses then by not
j having competing line, slS750 annually
an s,fton alone. Calculate the amount
Iof What she loses in other shipments
and yeu will run the amount she aetHai-
! d loses each year up to and over the en-
! tire amount Giles county is asked C
subscribe % secure . competing line o
railway. Can these figuFss bs believed
They are as tFae as preacAiRg-
