A train will start at o'clock on the
morning Of the LIST Of June for San
Francisco from the city of New York,
a distance of 1925 miles, with sixteen
passengers, each of whom will pay
$500 fare, the fare including n weeks
hoard at the Grand Palace Hotel at
San Francisco.
Mr.. jarrett has engaged this train
with the intention Of making a Cen
tenuial event of the affair. Leaving
New York at one o'clock, of Thursday
morning, June lst, he believes that
his distinguished guests will dine at
the Palace Hotel at San Francisco on
Sunday, June 4th. There are bets that
it cannot be done. Thirty-fOur hours
to the Mississippi River by rail, and
no stoppages between New York and
Pittsburgh, is something wonderful If
IL can be done. The United States
Government has decided to send its
mails by this lightning train, and
Wells, Fargo d Co. will also send their
gold, specie, and valuable packages by
the same.
The tickets for the guests of exqui-
site workmanship, in book form, five
inches by four in dimension. The
outer coverings are of solid silver, bur
nisEed i'm the centre, and the ten
leaves inside are engraved by Balti-
more firm. The passengers, sixteen
in number, will have their silver
bound ticket books encased in white
satin Baskets, with lilac or cru satin
lining. The cost of each ticket and
casket will be $40. During the pass
age of the train there will b, relays of
engines at every station where the
train may stop.
The eXcursionists will form stag
party, no ladies being admitted on the
train, 1t is intended to run but forty
miles an hour, but the quickness of
the trip will be accomplished by this
continued speed without stoppages,
The tickets will permit the passen-
gers to return at any time during six
months following the LIST of June. 1876.

ARM IN ARM with ROTHsCHILD.-
The incident told OF Mr.. Stewart that
in his early days he begged leader Of
fashion to allow her carriage to stand
before his business place i'm order to
lead people to believe that she was one
of his regular customers, reminds the
Home journal of a story Of Rothschild
the great English banker. An ac-
quaintance who was out of funds ask
ed the privilege of one day accOmpa-
nying Mr.. Rothschilds on his visits to
the bulls and bears" Of Lombard st.
Next day they were seen, arm In arm,
dropping in upon and chatting with
the bankers and brokers. Very soon
after this occurrence the comparative
stranger made round OF calls upon
the same gentlemen whom he had Wis.,
tied with Mr.. Rothschild. He asked
for favors in the shape Of loans, and
none dared refuse him because of his
supposed intimacy with the leading
operator Of the street. In this way,
he borrowed an immense capital, and
became. i'm time, one of the wealthiest
bankers of London.

The Goodson Land sale.

Last Wednesday. while the winds
of heaven were blowing the moisture
from Terra Firma, and million Of
Yankee Threats were blowing the
opening blasts of the Centennial, the
city fathers Of Goodson had DIR. Sui
Inns mounted on a clay-bank horse,
blowing the glories Of the meadow
square to a good sized crowd of local
bidders, knee deep in clover. Com
mencing at the corner Of Cumberland
and Moore Streets the corner lot was
confirmed to the Second Presbyterian
Church at $3.50. Thence passing down
Moore to Beaver Creek, up Beaver to
Lee, and up Lee to Sycamore, a clear
sweep was made, including two lots
South of Sycamore, in all % lots, and
footing up 81 ,999.5O.
In the afternoon, the unsOld lots Oh
Virginia Hill were nearly all disposed
of, amounting to 81 l2l.OO, making the
sales for the day 3,l2O.jO.
The prices realized were moderate
being i'm most cases the assessed prices
and in few eases lots were sold only
by reducing the assessment.
Evidently money with which &c
make down payments was scarce, AND
this caused all the most valuable lots
on Lee and Cumberland to he passed
without bid. This was fortunate IN
some respects, "a the Council can dis
pose Of them to select bidders for spe
cial purposes.
There are yet in the meadow unsolt
lots assessed at over four thousand dol
lars in the aggregate,
The following il list of those sold
with prices and names Of purchasers

Farm Values in England and
America.

The Boston advertiser, in discussing
the relative value and rental of Eng
lish and American farming lands,
comes to the singular conclusion that
the American are held at the highest
rates, alleging that the English raj sc
of annual rent from $3.50 to 5000 per
year for 100 acres Is 'much below what
would he demanded in Massachusetts. -
Indeed viii the advertiser put its
finger on few Massachusetts farms
of 100 acres which rent for 5000? And
does il suppose that the average would
rent for even $3.50? The same writer
thinks the valuation of land in the
richest English county-S27O per acre
much less than il is held at in this
country. On the contrary, the average
value of the farming lands In Mid
dlesex county, including the rich
market gardens around Boston, being
the richest farming county 1.-THE State,
Is only Sos per acre.

THE SUFFERING MEMBER.

An aggre cation of individuals form
ing a nation may be compared with the
organism of each of the components-
The different portions of territory will
bear analogy to the various members of
the human body. In the latter case, we
know that if one member suffers all the
members suffer with. it, and the whole
body is sick So with the nation, it can
not be healthy and prosperous whils any
portion of it is wounded and unhealthy.
To bring this matter more particu-
larry home, we see that if our country
is to be restored to health and activity,
every member must be sound and in good
condition While the South is unable
to assert itself and perform the greas
functions which appertain to it, it is i'm
possible that the United States can take
its proper place among the nations of the
earth, or that the interests Of the people
can be properly advanced. When SOL
diers are sent to crush out the manhood
of our Southern brethren, no matter of
what color while taxes are levied which
confscate 1.-THE entire income of prop
erty, and totally destroys its marketable
value, it is impossible that these evils
should not re-a ct upon the prosperity of
the whole country" as GoVern-r Tilden
says in his letter of acceptance.
When one portion suffers it is newt
able that the whole must suffer. Every
injury to the South must be felt by every
other section. The country cannot be
prosperous while any portion of it is in
distress. It cannot be free while any
one portion of its members are bound.
1t eonnOt be happy while any of its peo-
pie are wretobed and sad.
Indignity after indignity has been
heaped upon the South by the Grant ad-
ministration, and still further outrage
is at the present being inflicted. Seeing
that the whole country is by this de
graded and injured, it behooves US to
make sure that opportunities for further
mischief are removed from the South,
can we have any relief from the misery
and distress which now have possession
of the land. Grantism is the source OF
all our suffering, and only by its eradiea
ton. can we re-enter upon q period OF
peace, prosperity and happiness.

WHEELER AND THE BLOODY
SHIRT.

Mr. Wheeler has been sent into Yer
mont to discourse to the people ooncer
ming their duties at the coming election.
While rendering the subject, and won
dering what he should say, he heard
Fitzpatrick utter his appeal the bloody
shirt with money" Good" said
Wheeler. the bloody shirt is Just the
thing, 1. Il hang that out, and the peo-
pie viii be so frightened that Tilden
won't get a vote al th Dug the country. 4"
So Wheeler went to work and got a shirt,
so red that any bull with diseased brain
would have made a line directly for it.
But the Vice-President expectant is not
discreet he held up that shirt so long and
permitted such close inspection, that the
holder among the people soon discovered
that if it ever had been bloody, the
blood had thoroughly dried by long ex
posture, and that the stains which now
were displayed, were artificial. So no
body was frightened but Mr. Wheeler
when be found the effect of his effort.
He has been still more frightened since
for his managers now tell him that h;
had better leave the bloody shirt for 9th
ers to exhibit, and if he makes fool D
himself any more they Will take hi
name of the ticket.

SPEED ON THE CRY.
NJ. ID. II. STEWART,
Chairman

The wings of the wind are heavily
laden with portentious.. cries. Bankruptcy,
Ruin, Destitution, fill the Eastern air.
Since the passage of thea sO-callsd re-
sumption act, little over a year and q
half ago, thirty thousand $50, 000) men
have failed in business, involving the
loss of a thousand million (sf 900, O0O,a
OOO). Railroads numbering two hun
dred have collapsed, representing a
total loss of a thousand millions more.
The receipts of the custom houses have
fallen of from S216,O 10000 to $50, 1000,
900 year the foreclosure losses in
manufacturing districts, aggregating
many hundred millions in addition
These are some of the legitimate fruits
of the Republican party rule, under
snch notorious characters as Cameron,
Morton, Grant, Conkling & Co.
Let these facts be kept in motion.
They should become household words
in every hole and corner of the land.
Proclaim them from the hastings, tell
them from the house tops, speak of them
at the .festal board and in the family
circle, and let the very winds that sweep
through our Mississippi Valley b ear
them to every cabin and palace no me
that the freemen of our section may
come forth in November, in tho might
of old revolutionary days, and work and
vote for the safety Of Northumberland,

OFT IN THE COLD.

The South is unrepresented in Grants
Cabinet. This shows conelusiVely the
sectional status Of the present admins
tration. He did have MIR Brist3w, but
his honesty and determined bureau re-
form tendencies proved so distasteful to
Grant that the Secretary was forced
to retire.
Unheard of in the history of the coun-
try is such an anomoly in the makeup
of the Cabinet as that of the present
President
Heretofore, the high character of
Southern statesmen was in demand in the
executive councils of the country. But
not SO now. The entire machinery of
Government is run ia the groove of a
strict sectionalism. The North must
have monopoly of Federal appoint
ments, her industries must be solely
protected, her interests alone subserved,
while the people of the South, who ex-'
port four-ffths Of the entire agricultural
products of the United States should not
be represented in the Cabinet, but must
be content to be a legislative beggar,
and in the dust of humiliation await
the merciful clemency of Northe RI ag-
gressions.
Belkuap, Robson, ct id Onene genus,
are the men best suited to become privy
eounsellors of Grant. He has even
ignored the best culture found in North
ern circles, and stopped to elements of a
second-rate and doubtful character
What a shame that the Executive
of great country like ours should so
Offend the public conscienc e in the forma-
ton of his advisory council,
But this is what Is to be expected Of
those who rule in the affairs of the dom
ineering Republican party. The South
was conquered, as they claim, and in the
condition of conquered provinces her
people should remain. To pay tribute
like Roman dependencies, is all right
in the eyes Of Northern aggression.
The privilege of living is all that this
section is by right entitled to enjoy.
Could the veil be drawn aside, and
our people see the full iniquity of the
sectionalized, anti-Southern Republican
party, they would be amazed at th'
slavery under which they are forced tt
live Though bankrupted by war anC
scourged By hostile Federal legislation
and tormented by carpet-bag villainies
she is paying off that immense Fedora
war debt through internal taxation anC
exhorbitant tariff rates. We are USED
as a football, banded about to suit the
caprices of cruel faction, and made Il
tread in wiue-press, under the lashing
of fearful forebodings.
Mr.. Tilden offers US a way of escape
Craven be the man that would not sup
port the only man capable of becoming
our protector and deliverer. He cal
strike from our limbs the cutting chains
of hated sectional tyranny.

PORTER AND REID.

Geo. C. Porter and A. r. Reid were
nominated respectively FOR Floater and
Senator, at the Jackson Convention,
last Friday. Hardeman County merely
registered the will of Madison County.
This was the result of the primary cleo
ton lniquity perpetrated upon the Dis
trict by Madison. We condemn the
measure and the men who gave it
birth. This County will never be rep
resented in another Convention where
the cards are thus arranged to suit a
mere fraction of the voting population.
Hardeman had right to retire from
such Convention as that of last Friday,
but her devotion to Democracy, as a
principle, was too sincere for her to al
low the wicked selfshness of a few IN
scrupulous politicians to divert her at
tention from the higher interests CT the
campaign upon which the country h as
entered. Our County will give Col
Porter and Mr.. Reid a warm and true
support We will " ork for them for the
sake of their personal worth and the
int gritty of united Democracy.
If Madison erred we will not allow
our County to make matters worse by
attempting to produce discomfort in our
ranks. Hardeman was clearly entitled
to the Floater, but the intrigues of GER
tOin double=faced gO-betweens in Jack
son euchred her out of the nOmina ton,
The leadee of that ring is spotted. He
thought he played sharp game at de-
ceptiOD, but his eloven feet were seen
before the Convention ajjourned-his
own fellow-cltizens proclaimed his du.
