THE KNOXVILLE JOURNAL Of this
week says that the contract for bull
ding the proposed Railroad to that
city has been let to Ex-Gsv. Merrill,
all the terms and stipulations agreed
upon, subject to the approval Of the
G.. b. Il @. road. The road, when
built, will be leased to the latter Com
pany. We really rejoice to see so fair
prospect Of a railway to Knoxville,
for 1t is one of the prettiest towns and
IL located in the heart of the finest
body of land in this State. Though
we would liked well to have seen a
cross road established here, yet the
people up there need a road badly,
and like enterprising men, propose
having one by paying for it.-Char-

Bribery and Corruptson,

The House was. thrown into considerable
excitement yesterday, in consequence of a
disclosure by Colonel Lowell Of an attempt
on the part Of the immaculate Democratic
party Of the State to brihe several mem bers
OF the Legislature now ia session iu the,
State House. Who would have thought
:ha: our Democratic friends would stoop
:" anything 30 viles We confess that we
wa.e prepared to see them attempt almost
anything but this to carry their points.
Cslcnel Lowell has assured the House that
.ss can name ths parties when the Demo
Gratis have attempted to bribe, and if the
bribery is consummased we understand he
is determined that they shall be prosecuted.
This would be hard on our over virtuous
Democrats who deem it no crime to kil
men for political reasons. Bribery and
corruption are crimes that they have en-
deavOred to lead the people Of tho United
States 10 believe that no4e but Republicans

Miss Ada Gray, who is acting at the ST.

and admired, for her earnestness and devo-

outlining and picturing character. She is
original, and her acting is reasonable. She
makes Of Mercy Merrick and of Cora in

accepted delineations, and makes of thea,

temptations to sin in stronger light Her
