OLD GILES IN THE VAN.
Some strengthening Extraordinary
Can It be Beat i'm Tennessee?


Can It be Beat I'm Tennessee?
To the Union and American:
In a recent issue of your paper, under
the head, "Let Sumner and Lincoln Look
to their Laurels," Mr.. West, Of DeKalb
county, writes that be had ''sheared 23s
pounds Of nice wool from three lambs. .
Old Giles can beat that. A few weeks ago,
the writer, with several others, was at the
shearing Of Mr.. Robert Rodes, six miles
north Of Pulaski, on the Nashville and De
catur Railroad, and witnessed the shearing
of thirteen of his fine Spanish MerinOs.
Nine Of these were aged bucks, purchased
a few years ago from Henry s. Randell, OF
CORTLAND county, New York, and are said
to be the finest and purest blood in this
State. The fleece of the one six years old
weighed 10 pounds, that Of the one five
years old q pounds, and the one four years
old Is pounds, making together 55 pounds,
and being one pound more than they
clipped last year. The other ten were
iambs-all bucks-the Oldest thirteen
months and the youngest between eleven
and twelve months. The fleece of two was
each pounds, of five each 10 pounds, one
IL pounds, one y pounds, and one Is
pounds, making 102 pounds for the lambs,
and averaging 10 Is pounds for each. /
saw them sheared and saw each fleece
weighed. So, Mr.. West and the rest of the
world may ''pick their flint and try
again"
By the way, Mr.. ROdes has about 1000
head of sheep Of very fine quality, and re-
msrkably healthy, and have no doubt the
admirers Of fine sheep in Sumner, Lincoln
and DeKaib would be pleased to see his
fine bucks. Respectfully,
JAMES MCCALLUM.

RaiirOad-The RunninR OF Trains
Iuterfered With.
A very heavy storm of wind and rain
prevailed Tuesday morning along the line
Of the St. Louis and Southeastern Railway.
The floods DID considerable damage to the
track and temporarily put a stop to toe
through passage Of trains. About two hun
dred yards OF the track between CrOftOn
and Petersburg was flooded. a culveTt be-
tween these two places was also washed
away. Several washes were reported be
yOnd Petersburg. The work of repairing
the damage was commenced at once, and
it was thought trains would be running
through TO Evansville by u O'Clock last
night. A through train has not reached
Nashville since 1856 Tuesday. Passen-
gers that left here on the sos P. NJ. train
Tuesday and the 2:}0 A NJ. train Yesterday
were transferred from CrOfton to Norton
vile in wagons.
The wheat and corr crops sustained
some damage in having leel blown down
by the wind.
Several telegraph poles between Caskey
and Pembroke stations were struck BY
lightning. The wires were Gown and COM
municatiOn was for q time cut off,
1t was also reported that there were sew
eral serious washes on the St. Louis di-
vision Of the road. The principal damage
20 the track was caused by the floods
which have now subsidized and the road
will soon be in running order ali along the
line.

THE IDEA that the people of the North
do not fully appreciate the condition of af-
fairs in the Southern States is a mistake.
1t is nevertheless true that they do not pay
so much attention TO this subject as they
should, or as they would if certain class
of weak kneed Republic IN leaders had not
gwen their influence to the Democratic at
tempt to make the Bloody Shirt 81" unpop-
ular. In addition to this there are many
other reasons for their seeming indifference
regarding Southern matters, not the least
of which is their utter absorption by ques-
tons which are of immediate personal or
local significance. When they, or their
newspapers, discuss the subject, however,
it is something after the style of the follow
ing paragraph which we extract from the
Kansas City Journal Of Commerce.:
"No matter who denies it, the white people
of some of the Southern States, notably Mr..
Davis old State of Mississippi, have made semi
military organizations for the purpose of over
awning the members of the political party which
they oppose, and they have resorted to murder,
assassination and general riotins to accomplish
their ends. So long as this condition of things
exist in any of the Southern Mississippi valley
cannot be carried into effect. The people who
maintain these ssmi-rebellious, semi-militarY
organizations were his friends and followers in
the late war; he has more influence with them
to-day than any other living man, and one
word from him would restore peace and order
and perfect and continued submission on their
part. Let Mr.. Davis speak that word"
Every word of this is gospel truth. But
JEFF Davis and Southern Democrats of his
class generally do not protest against the
outrages which are constantly occurring in
their very presence. When they do speak
it is with the design of excusing or denying
the existence of the crimes to which we
refer. In Virginia, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia a different condition of
affairs exists, and blacks and whites, Dem
ocrats and Republicans are alike interested
in the preservation of peace. For example,
the present grand jury of this District is in
part composed of colored citizens, and the
record shows that they have been industri-
GUS in the discharge of their duty and have
found indictments against Republican Off
Gals as well as Democratic rascals. This
simple fact speaks volumes to show that if
Davis and his friends would speak that
word" as our contemporary suggests, peace
and good order would reign in the disturbed
States, and the blacks would have an oppor-
tunity to prove themselves worthy of the
exercise of the rights of citizenship.

THE NPUDENT and imprudent manner
in which Mr.. Rignold and his friends at
tempt to explain his absence from the Ma
tional Theatre during two performances of
"HeDry W. last week is bearing its legiti-
mate fruit, and he is suffering from gene
raj public condemnation of his course The
':tstar" system has well nigh ruined the
theatres of this and other cities, and the
public has right to demand of actors who
shine as brilliantly as Mr.. Rignold would
like TO a conscientious and scrupulous re-
gard for their obligations. The trouble is
that newspapers are too apt to play the
tosdy TO such men, and to humOr them
with the belief that their popularity is suiR-
GENTLY great TO serve as an excuse for an
occasional abuse of public confidence. Mr.
Rignold was treated vita great kindness
when he came to Washington, but unfortu-
nately labOred under the belief to which we
refer, and was guilty of a lapse from duty
which was simply inexcusable. His IMAM
ager, who it seems is nothing more than
a property man in the employ of Jarret
& Palmer, did not better the case by the
publication of his indiscreet card. A 'Fcyni-
cal public" will still insist that acute
dysenteTy' is not a proper synonym for
the disease. which disabled Mr. Rignold so
suddenly.

Iowa THospitality.

CFrom the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
The returning veterans and the guests of the
late reunion of the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee are earnest in their recognition of
the whole-souled Iowa hospitality of the citi-
zens of Des Moines, which, they say, has never
been surpassed, if it has ever been equaled, in
the history of that army. The banquet in its
honor was as exquisite as the skill and delica-
cies of Chicago and New York could make it..
For the invited guests carriages were kept
standing at the doors of their hotel. They
were permitted to be at no expense, and had in
reality the freedom of the city. The occasion
was dignifed by the presence of the President,
the Secretary of War, General Sherman, and
many of the most prominent officers of the
army. 1t will be memorable in the future,
moreover, as the occasion on which Grant de-
livered the longest speech he has ever made.
There were several other addresses of excep-
tional interest. The meetings of the society
were held in n fine opera-hOuse. l; is difficult
to realize that all this took place in n country
which military explorations were just opening
up only forty years ago. Where but twenty
five years ago there was hardly anything more
than military post a flourishing city covers
the ground to-day. The people OF Iowa have
reason TO be proud of their capital and of its
success.
