The Memphis Ledger recently sug-
gested that if the people Of Memphis
would not build their end cf our
road, it could be carried to Milan
and then make connections to all
points; whereupon, the Milan Ez-
change goes off thus: aWe thank
the Ledger for the suggestion. It
seems there are not only men at
Memphis but men at Bolivar who
oppose the Pulaski road going to
their towns. Let it then be brought
from Clifton by way of Lexington
to Milan, and go from here by Tren-
ton and Dyersburg to the Missis
sippi river, and it and The Tennes
see Central may form one line from
this place to the Mississippi river.
This is a much better line for that
road anyhow than by Bolivar to
Memphis. AT this place the Hen
derson and Decatur people and the
Middle Tennesseeans will reach a
direct line 20 either Memphis or
New Orleans. Again we say, eve
thank thee, jew" for those words.
Let's have the road to the live. grow
ing young railroad town of Milan,
the best place for connections for all
points of the compass in the State.

44thCongress.

Nothing Of special Importance has
yet been done. The standing com
mittees have not yet been appoint
ed. The Speaker is selecting them
with great care. Work is being cut
out very Systematically, and we may
expect results soon. The most i'm
portant hill introduced this week is
one bv Mr.. Norman to repeal so
much Of section $3.50 of the Revised
Statutes as forbids the payment Of
accounts, claims and demands there
in named, and all laws and clauses
of laws forbidding the payment
thereof. The bill refers to claims
or demands against the United
States, which accrued or existed
prior 10 the 18th of April, in favor
of any person who promoted, encour-
aged, or in any manner sustained the
rebellion. 1t authorizes the settle
ment of such claims, and appropri-
ates 100000 for that purpose. AT
ter short executive session the
Senate adjourned.

A plausible and ingenious comu-
nicatien to the Nashville CONNER
cial Reporter, on the subject Of
State finances makes this PROPOSE
ton as a solution of the financial
situation. "The bonds of Tennes-
see now sell in the New York mark
ct at 40 and 46 on the dollar. Let
the Legislature pass a law calling
in all these bonds at their present
value, and pay for them in green
backs"
We agree with the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle when it says, the Legisla-
ture should earnestly consider
whether a State bank, with a CAPT
tai of $15,OOO,OOO, based upon the
faith and resources of the State,
may not obviate a recourse to such
an extreme measure. 1t should al
so enquire if railroads are paying
their full quota of taxation, and
whether there is not large amount
of property exempt by law which
should, in justice, be made accessi-
.ble to the tax collector, and wheth-
er the reforms in the interest of
economy, so much talked about,
have been carried into effect, and
whether there are not many leaks in
the Treasury that it would be prof.
table to stop.

The Baltimore Gazette joins glad
ly in the general acclaim: "Under
Mr.. Kerr's molding hand the House

all, on right principles. But wheth-
err it brings success or defeat the

The crooked-whisky cases Of Nc
Kee, of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, Constantine Mcguire and Con-
duee Megrue win not be tried on the
18th inst, as the court has ordered
them to be certified for the first
Monday in January. There will
then be a new jury and a new judge
Dillon, and the defendants think
they will stand a better chance of
acquittal. In the mean time, the
sensation will be the trial of Bah

Milan is at the junction of the
Memphis and Louisville, and Of
the New Orleans and st. Louis rail
roads. Milan is only go miles
from Clifton, and 124 miles from
Pulaski. The road from Clifton to
Milan passes through Lexington.
From Pulaski to st. Louis by this
route is $50 miles, it being only 235
from Milan to ST. Louis. From
Milan to Memphis is SO miles max
ing it 300 miles from Pulaski TO
Memphis by this route. 1t thus
appears that the probability is that
three roads from West Tennessee
would meet our road at Clifton, one
from Memphis by Bolivar, one from
Cairo by Paris, and one from Milan
10 Clifton. All of these would
throw their business upon our road
from Clifton TO Pulaski.

An Informal meeting of some of
the stockholders of the NJ. d X
Railroad was held in Capt. Deav-
exports office last Monday morning.
The object of the meeting was, to
ascertain how much of the subscrip-
ton could be realized within the
next few days, and from the senti-
ments expressed by the members
present, we judge that they intend
for the work to be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. 1t was in
deed gratifying to note such a dis
position on the part of the subscrib-
ers to meet their engagements
promptly, and we hope the manag-
ers Of the enterprise will have no

at must be gratifying to every

his head for tracing them into the

The Democratic majority in con-
gress is working very harmonious
ly. At the party caucus on Monday
last Mr. Lamar presided again, and
during the incidental discussions
there was harmony of views with re
gard to the duty of the majority OF
the House. All agreed that they
should, as far as possible. effect a
reduction of taxation, and that the
Government should be honestly and
economically administered. Much
responsibility devolved on the ma
iority of the House, although the
Senate was not politically in accord
with them. The country desired a
stoppage of wasteful expenditures,
and the Democracy could not ex-
pect the people to stand by them IN
less they stood by the people. No
business apart from that above
mentioned was considered.
