MEMPHIS AND KNOXVILLE
RAILROAD.
Meeting Of stockholders.


According to public announcement,
the stockholders of the Memphis and
Knoxville Railroad m ct in Bolis ar, Nov.
IA, for the tr ansaction of business. The
meeting was called to order by Gan. Il.
p. Nicely, on whts5 motion Paul I.
Jones was called to the chair Dir
Alexander Murrell was chosen Secretary.
Al the request of the chair, Gen. Nicely
stated the object of the meeting. He
said the stockholders were assembled to
elect new Board of Directors. that they
in turn might elect the regular officers
of the company. During his remarks he
earnestly advocated the prof ction of
this narrOS-guage road, and showed
that its present prospects were very
encouraging.
The friends of this Important enter
prise we're not discouraged, but were
hopeful of its final and complete success.
There were certain great material inter
ests connected with its projection along
it's present route that no circumstances
could for any length Of time continue to
suppress. The demands of trade and
the exigencIes of commercial rivalry
we're iOexorable in the enforcement of
their claims; and communities and
States should always be wise enough to
become the beneficiary of every improve
ment.
This road is not dead, but only
waits the solution of certain litigated
questions to start afresh toward its es-
Enlistment. The subscription east of
Tennessee river will soon be made avail
able TO extend the line to the river. OF
this We have no doubt
Henderson county will do her part
and Hardeman must and will, we conf
IDENTIFY believe, be ready to respond lib
orally IN order that our people may en-
joy the benefits of this road, and not
allow other localities to monopolizs them.
Let the friends of this movement be
hopeful and Jealous to the last, and sue
cess will reward our labors.
On motion, Marcus Kahn, r. L.
Lightfort and w. a Caruth were
appointed judges of election. -
On motion, w. r. Armistead and
John Warren " ere appointed commit
tee on proxies.
The object OF the meeting being to
elect new Board of Directors to serve

Court is decided, it was formally resolved
that the Board now to be elected be and
are hereby directed to meet for orgauiza-
ton Immediately after the adjournment
of this meeting.

vote taken for Directors the following
gentlemen were declared elected:

NEGRO EDUCATION IN aEoRGIl
The Work of Republican and of
Democratic Administrations
Contrasted
ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.

A few plain official facts will put
every bodY right on this subject that
wants to be put right In 1871, when the
Republicans were in power, the number
of white pupils enrolled was 1924;
BLACK pupils enrolled, 1854, or about
one to seven. See Commissioner Lewis
report for 1871 Not cent of money
was paid to the teachers during the
year. See Commissioner Orr report
for 1872 School funds to the amount
of $4,000 were diverted by the Radi-
Gals to other uses, and the first Demo
cratic Legislature passed an act provid-
ing for the indebtedness to the teachers
of 1871. In 1872 there were no public
schools, on account of the misapplication
of school funds by the Republicans in
previous years. Such is the school rec
ord of the Republican party in as few
words as We can present 1t.
Now for the Democratic record. In
1873, when the Democrats first got con-
troll of the State government, the num-
Der of enrolled white pupils was Go, 922;
of black pupils, 1876, or about one to
three. The state paid in this year $780,
600 towards the support of public
sch oOls, which was divided strictly per
LapAtN BtLW6Su buo bNO ClteH tS u HCuOOtS
IN 1874 there were 93,l67 white pu-
pills enrolled, and 1924 black pupils
Amount paid by the State, 1895 900, the
black people receiving their full share of
that sum.
In 1875 the number of white pupils
enrolled was los, 999; of black pupils,
50.359. Amount paid by the State,
1921 ,3l9; amount paid By the State and
by towns in the State for public school
purposes, 1875 ,3l9.
Such is the record Lest year 50,319
black pupils were educated by :the State,
against 1854 in 1871, when the Repub-
licans were in power. Nearly one-third
of the amount expended last year went to
the support of schools for cOlored chill
dren, and VIC need scarcely state, even
for the information of people 10 distant
Northern States, that almost the entire
sum came from the pockets of white
people. Our school ate ndanee is now
prOPOrtioned to the population, and an
Intelligent cOiOred man cannot be found
In the State who will allege any unfair
ness IN the application of moneys spprO-
priatsd for public school purposes. In
addition to the sums already named, the
State has annually given a cOiOrs d uni
versity s., 900, although she has not given
a single cent to any white college. Let
these facts, plainly and briefly be stated.
As such, they cannot be, in any respect,
refuted-they are Official facts, that
stand unqualified and unchallenged.

A Public Atrocitu.

The act is detestable, and the man
guilty Of it deserves place in the psAi-
Tertiary. We wonder that legislators
have net generally interfersd and placed
decisive ban on the practice. The mat
ter is more important than nine-tenths
of the tweedlodums that fill up their
public hours. Every man ought to cry
out against it, and every woman and
child too; and the mean aud miserly
souls shat aid in the perpstration by
renting facilities to the perpetrators de-
serve place in the pillory. 1t confronts
US on every side. If you walk about a
city or a village, it is there, disturbing
your serenity on week days and your
meditations on Sunday. 1t you ride in
a carriage OF a rail car, the unwelcome
thing stares in your eye till you feel in
clined to cane the doer of it. No blank
space, stable, or unstable, but is dsfled
and disfguFed by Its presence. 1t seems
ubiquitous on land, AMI your only es-
cape from it is to take shipping and get
out of sight of everything but sky and
water. If the clouds could be reached
and made permanent, these wretches
would smear them over, and mar all the
poetic beauty of the circumaabient
world, and even the comets tail wouIi
be hung with streamers labelled with the
name Of detsstable qaack compounds. o
for an hour Of some 5logdJ dictator to
slay at sight these disturbers of man 5
peace, or cram down their throats the
atrocious mixtures uhoss titles sprawl
over every fence in tswn, city and vii
lage, and defle and deform every rock
beside road: o for a will on the part
of every onest man to spill the paint-
Pet over the head of every sneaking rock
and fence daubCr True enough, some
Legislatures have enacted laws to reach
the evil; but they ars weak, and law
ID needed to authorize all good citizens
to "shoot down on the spot" every rss
cal found prowling around with pot and
paint-brush in hand, and to confscats
and destroy the factories and the prepa-
rations advertised in this nefarious way.
This is the only promising efectual
remedy ne wot of:
An honest man who has a good article
or invention to bring to public notice
forthwith HES to a printer, and inserts
an advertisement in the paper, and has
some cards and circulars nicely printed
in an honest way. Such maA deserves
honorable mention, and ought TO be pat
rOnized, for he seeks only to stand on
his merit A good thing does not re-
quire rock and fence notorioty. For
our part, we stand aloot and take not,
touch not, handle not any compound
whose name impudently stares at us
from fence or stone 1t is enough to
condemn it that such method is ne
cessary to advertise it.

TO THE CoLoRED PEOPLE

We particularly desire to say to this
class of our community that the election
of Mr.. Tilden will not in the least dis
turb their present relations or affect in
the least sny right or privilege they now
enjoy before the law. AL that twaddle
about being resUld into slavery is mere
sensational stuff Thsre is no power
on earth capable of accomplishing such
thing. The Southern people woul
not have the coIored people back in
slavery. They are satisfied with the set
Element of the question, and are only
anxious, through Mr.. Tilden, to give to
all classes and grades in society the
benefits Of q cheap, healthy, conservative
government Up to this time both
whites and blacks in the South have to-
gether suffered at the hands of RepubH-
can malfeasance in the management of
Federal affairs The election of Mr..
Tilden means living wages and plenty
of meat and bread to the laboring multi =
tude.
Let the colored population rest assured
that their citizenship stands upon the
same imprsgnable foundation as that of
the whites, and nothing can be done to
disturb it.
In the success of the Democracy is
wrapped up the good fortune of the col
ored man. The future will prove this
to be & fact. Let US all pull together
TO maintain and buill up a good
goYernme Mt for all races and classes.
