To the People of the 18th Sen
atOrial District.

FELLOW CITIZENS During the past
ten years the Southern people have had
to confront ali the vital issues of the
late war and its mOnstrOus sequences.
The minds of our best men have been
taxed TO their utmost capacity AMI
strung up to the highest tension in ward
ing off the shafts forged by the wicked
and fruitful Imagination of the North
ern people, who have bent all of their
energies and vented ali their spleen in
their attempts to humiliate and degrade
the people of the South.
Now, fellow citizens, lin the judg-
ment of the writer,) there never was =
time when the Southern people were
called upon to meet vital issues so init
mately connected with the present and
rising generations as at this time. The
gauntlet has been thrown down and the
issue made and forced upon us by the
radical party black and white. 1t be
hoOves as now to scan closely and look
well to the man we select to lead the
Democratic party to the contest and Oh
to ViitoTy.
Looking over the Senatorial District
from my stand point 1 see no one better
qualified to defend our cause and carry
our banner triumphantly through the
contest than our county man, JUDGE /.
b LOGAN. He is man of a clear head,
a sound judicial mind and unquestiOned
integrity, firm ana answering in his
purposes, and in every way competent,
and Justly merits the full confidence anu
support of the entire democratic party

Capt. Garrett Id Lebanon.

From the Lebanon Herald's report OF
the Teachers Institute held there by
Capt. Garrett, we copy the following
from among many complimentary allu-
siOns to that gentleman:
On Friday night, Prof. Garrett treated
his hearers TO a speech of rare depth
and beauty. While we do not concur il
all the Speakers ideas, we nevertheless
acknowledge the clear Hight with which
he brightens every subject, and the logic
and reason with which he enforces his
opinions He did not believe in educa-
ton by the church, but thought il be
yond the power of the church and con-
sequently should be the duty of the
State. He depicted the progress of ed
ucatiOn from the poetic age till the pres
ent one of philosophy and science. The
cheapness of public schools he deemed
of sufficient weight to keep them in ex-
istence, and the necessity OF educating
the masses occupied a place in his dis
course. With beautiful and sensible
appeal to women to oppose the f0llies Of
their sphere, he then paid a tribute to
them, of rare felicity, and retired, with
his audience still eager for more of such
a speech.

For the CITIZEN.
OUR RAILROAD.
What has Become OF ID,


We understand that it has been said
that Maj. w. j. Sykes received a large
zum of money amounting to thousands
Of dollars tor what he did towards secu-
ring the Pulaski Subscription to the
Memphis & Knoxville Railroad Compa-
ny. There is not q Io6rd Of truth az this
statement. So far from Maj. Sykes hav-
ing been literally paid he has been com
PEELED to quit working for the road be-
cause he is unable to work for the bene-
fit of others without compensation. He
feels as much interest in the success of
the enterprise as he ever did, but he
thinks those who are most interested and
most to be benefited should push for
ward the work.
We are gratified to learn that there is
nearly enough stock subscribed with the
labor subscription which can easily be
obtained between this place and Law
renceburg to justify the road being put
under contract, and whenever our citi-
zens wish it done we are satisfied the
Company will go to work on the road.
The building of this road, even as far as
LawrencebuTg, will be of immense ben
fit to Pulaski and to Giles county. 1t
will give us the trade of Lawrence coun-
" which will be worth more to us each
year than the whole amount of our sub
9ClApttOh. II W III give our ldElltES tuc
means of getting tim Der and fencing for
their farms which Is to them at this time
a matter of no small moment. This fall,
on account of the short crops, will be
the very best time for the work on the
road to be commenced. The farmers
can sow largely of grain and use their
hands and their mules in working on
the road. The money used on the road.
rs the proceeds of the bon Is, will fur
nish great pecuniaTy relief first to the
farmers, who take the contracts, and
through them to the merchant, and all
other classes of the community. When
the work on the road will be commenced
will depend greatly upon the interest
manifested by our own citizens, for the
Company viii defer to their wishes
greatly.
Pulaski as a corporation has contribu-
ted as yet nothing to the road, though
some forty or fifty of her citizens have
paid five hundred dollars for prelimi-
nary survey and yet our town las gained
by what has already been done thous-
ands of dollars in the enhanced value of
the properly of the town caused by the
railroad movement. MORE ANON.

Life Insurance and the Van

A proposition has been made by the
Nashville Life Insurance Company to
the Board of Trust of the Vanderbilt
University, and accepted by the latter,
proposing, through the agencies OF the
Company, to raise from one hundred
thousand to half million of dollars for
the purpose of endowing the Biblical
Chair in the University.
From Life Insurance Company Of
the high character and availabilities OF
the Nashville, such a proposition,
prompted as it is by the nOblest senti-
ments, and having for its object the
preparation of young men for the re
sDonsible duties of the Christian Minis

In every community there will be
found men and women, not only MEM

Civil Rights.

On last Thursday evening a negro
named Leeman, Porter for Hill & Bal
lentine, backed his wagon up against
Mr.. Noah HaneOck's wagon in front OF
Pearcy's drug store, hit his horse and
scared him so that he attempted to run.
Mr.. Hancock came running out of the
drug store and caught his horse and re-
mOnstrated with the negro for hitting
him. The negro was very insulting,
and MIR. II. procured stick and followed
him into Hill & Ballentine's. The ne
gro was again insulting and Mr.. II. ad-
vanced on him with the stick, when
Leeman let fly at him an iron weight,
which missed him and made deep cash
in the counter, when the parties imme-
diately closed, but were separated be-
fore any blows passed. The men who
originated the civil rights bill will be
responsible at the Judgment day for
thousands and thousands of negro lives.
Such things as the above will not be toll
Grated in Giles county.

Persisted IN THE FLAMES
An Incendiary Torch Works
Death and Destruction.

1 Inc residence of MIR. Jas. 5. Perry, IN
the 18th district, on Blue creek. was
burned to tie ground last Friday morn
ing, together with all its contents, and
his little son, Morris G. Perry, aged 2
years, persisted IN the flames. The
family were awakened just before dav
by the cracking flames. Mr.. Perry's
first thought was the safety Of his tam
lily, and he rushed to the foot of the
stairs and awakened his little bows,
three OF whom were sleeping mp there.
The oldest boy Immediately Jumped
up and caught the next oldest one and
dragged him down stairs. Mr.. Perry
thought the oldest son would bring the
youngest one down and that the next
oldest one would take care of himself,
but in his fright the oldest boy caught
the first he came to, which happened to
be the one next to himself in age, Ieav-
ing the little fellow to come down him
self. The family barely had time to es-
cape from the house in their night
clothes, saving nothing else in the world,
and Immediately Mr.. Perry looked
around and missed his son Morris. In
quiry discovered the fact that he had
been left up stairs. and he rushed to the
door to attempt his rescue, but was met
by furious sheet of flames which
drove him back while it consumed his
boy. The house caught at place where
there never had been kept any fire, rem
dering it absolutely certain that it was |
the work of an incendiary. Suspicion |
Immediately rested upon a negro girl |
named Amanda, who had recently been
by Mrs. Perry, and a track |
was discovered corresponding precisely |
to hers leading from the house next
morning. Amanda and negro man
named Geo. Smith were seen together in |
the evening; and both of them were ar
rested and carried before Esq. J. L. Har-
mon, who committed them to jail to
await trial.

strangest Freak Yet.

We have il from the very best source
that a horse colt was born at the place
OF MIR. John Kellum, in the goth dis
trict of Giles county, last week, having
upon all of its feet perfect and pure iron
shoes. The iron grows to the hOof and
seems to be a part of it. The hoOf has
grown perceptibly since the colt was
born, and the shoe seems TO grow also.
1t is the strangest freak yet, but can be
Vouched for.

MIR. EDTToR-In view of the-cOnYen-
ton for the purpose OF nominating
candidates TO represent us in the next
Legislature, and in order that we may
have harmony, / make the following
suggestions, tO-wit: That each civil
district shall hold primary convention
on Saturday preceding the first Monday
in September next, and that there shall
be in attendance at each primary meet
ing not less than ten conservative and
democratic voters to constitute quo
rum or convention; that the delegates
to the cOEnty convention shall have and
shall present their credentials to said
convention, properly signed by the
Chairman and Secretary of their re-
spective conventions, and that no self
constituted delegates shall be permitted
to take seats in the County Convention.
There should not be any room left
for any one to prefer the charge that it
was a packed convention. If there ever
was a time that we need the cancentra-
ton of the party, it is now. There are
vital questions, nationally, at stake
which will be effected to a greater or
less extent, in proportion as we show
ourselves strong or weak in the elections
which are to take place during the fall.
Let the people turn out in large num-
bers in their respective districts, SO
that il may be emphatically said that
our County Convention was the PeO-
pies Convention. A VOTER.
