Southern cities. st. Louis and Cincin-
natl were stretching out their aron arms
and drawing commerce TO their marts.
1t seemed to the friendsof the road south
of the mountains that Knoxville and
East Tennessee would be greatly bene-
fitted by its completion the people of
Georgia and South Carolina were depen-
dent upon the West for the necessary
supplies of life, and they wanted shorter
lines in order to lessen freights. In ad-
dition, the trade of western North Caro-
lima would become tributary to Knox
vile, and with increased facilities this
would be enhanced from year to year.
Railroads induce immigration to those
sections they traversed, and with new
lines opening, the advantages of this
beautiful section would be BROUGHT to the
attention of thousands who were looking
for homes in an equable climate, which
would become the resort alike of those
fleeing from the. rigors of northern. win
ters or the melting heat OF more south
ern latitudes.

At the risk of being charged with the
dissemination of obscene literature, we
give the speech of w. J. Whipper in
the Legislature last week, omitting the
most indecent and vulgar portion. This
speech is valuable to show the character
of the worthless individual who has been
elected to the judicial bench by the votes
of pretended reformers. We want every
man in Anderson County to read this
speech, and it will satisfy the most in
credulous that the honor and welfare of
the State demand the displacement from
power of party capable of choosing
such creature as Whipper to preside in
our courts.

early completion of the great enterprise
under consideration, and was followed by
Col. Rucker, of South Carolina, who in
an eloquent and forcible manner urged
unity of action in completing this great
link which was to bind with fraternal
bonds the mountains of East Tennessee
to tho sea-board of the Atlantic, setting
forth the advantages and desirability of
such connection in language that left no
room to doubt the sincerity of his con-
yictions and his determination to aid to
the extent of his influence and ability
the consummation so devoutly to be
wished.

by his dishonesty the property thus en-
trusted-in amount about forty thousand
dollars-is a total loss. After bis re-
cent departure for Europe it was found
that the property had been appropriated
entirely by him. His method in general
has been to induce Miss Halpine TO sign
assignments ignOrAntly, and then to sell
the property.

he was a bashful man. He finally fitted

state. On a given day the good doctor
was seen at the home Of a certain lady,
in a bran new coat, wiping his "weel
ponthered head with a white handker-
chief, and betraying much excitemento Of
manner, till the door was opened. As

Oriental wisdom and Equity.

The question published in Tues
days Ledger was as follows: 1.-Two
Arabs, who were journeying to-
gether, sat down to take their fru-
gal meal. One had five small loaves
and the other had three. A third
traveller Joined them who had no
bread, but was willing to pay for a
share of the bread Of the others.
When he had eaten his share of the
bread he laid down eight pieces Of
money and went on his way. The
bread was all eaten by the three.
The owner Of the five loaves took
up five pieces and left three pieces
for the owner of the three loaves,
but the latter claimed that he was
entitled to one-half the money.
The dispute was referred to the
wise Caliph Ali, who made a per-
fectly just decision. Now the
question is, how did Ali divide the
money between the claimants so a:
to do exact justice to each claim "
The judgment of Ali was that
the Arab who supplied five loavef
was entitled to seven pieces Of
money, and the Arab who supplied
three loaves was entitled 10 one
piece of money. If the part of the
bread eaten by the traveller was
worth eight pieces Of money, the
three parts eaten by all was worth
twenty-four pieces. To this stock
one Arab contributed nine-twenty.

rHE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

We find considerable comfort in the
returns from Connecticut. When we
consider that it was a fair election, in
which very little money was used on
either side, and no extraneous influences
brought to bear, the result is significant
and encouraging. At the last election
the total number Of votes cast was
lOe, 9 of which Ingersoll (Democrat)
received 53,752; Greene Republican,
44,272; Smith Probationary ,932; scat
tering, 29; Ingersoll's majority over all,
652l. The total vote this year, with one
little town to hear from, is 9S,4S5. In
gersoll Dem receives 5l,07l, Robinson
(Rep.) 1857; Ingersolrs plurality is
74l4; his majority over all, 1861. The
Republicans confidently predicted that
the election would be thrown into the
Legislature, and that the Legislature
would be Republican. Instead of that
the Democrats r~e-elect their Governor
and make q gaiO of twenty-five members
in the Legislature, giving them a
majority on joint ballot of 81. The
Legislature will choose a United States
Senator to Gil out the term Of Senator
Ferry (Rep.), deceased, which expires
March, 1879. The position is tempo.
rarily filed by Ex-Governor james E.
English, wis will doubtless be continued
for the next three years. Heretofore
the Connecticut elections have been held
in April. The rule changes this year,
and the next election will be held next
November. The State officers elected
will hold over until that time. This
election, conducted quietly and fairly, il
quite an offset to New Hampshire. Bull
Run did not determine the war, nor will
the Granite State decide the Presiden
tial election. The Democracy will rally

4 Cairo correspondent says that great
taste was displayed in the decoration Of
the table, and the ornamental structures
in sugar and sweet pastes, which served
as centre pieces, we're as remarkable for
their size as for the elaborateness Of
their design and the richness Of their
colors. The servants were not arrayed
in the picturesque and frequently very
costly costume worn by the retainers of
most wealthy Egyptian %seigneurs, but
wore European hveries Of green and
gold. Of the breakfast itself, which
lasted till three o'clock, and was COM
posed of not less than twenty two
courses, the most interesting feature to

imagine, that il opened with fresh oys-
ters and real turtle soup. Respecting

composed of peculiarly small and deli.
cate rice stewed in a : onsomme ofealves
brains, | cannot forbear reproducing a
statement made to me by my neighbor
at table, one of the great dignitaries Of
the Khedive's Court: u cordially re-
commend that rice to you said His
Excelleney; 'in the first place, because
It is a really admirable dish, in the pre-
psration Of which His Highness' chef
excels all others; and, secondly, because
it is probably the most expensive mess
ever set before anybody since the days
Of Heliogabalus. Every grain of that
rice, my dear sir, costs the Khedive a
louis. / venture to appraise your CON
sumption Of it at $3.50 a mouthful. That
hook you have just been drinking
is not an absolutely cheap wine; Ismsel
Pashma took all he could get of it at 6s
francs a bottle-about $l4; but in com
parison to his rice, he may be consid-
cred to have got it for nothing. That
rice is ola peculiar sort, grown on the
Khedive's own estate it is, consequent-
". the most costly article that appears
upon the vice-regal table,
