CLARKsvILLE, TENN, July 8, rs.
Messrs. Walter McComb & Co.:
GENTLEMEN We have for some
time been receiving the most graft
flying reports from planters who
bought your tobacco fertilizer upon
our recommendation. 1t seems to
have given universal satisfaction,
both in the field and plant bed.
One friend writes us that the fly
destroyed his plants, and that he
sowed new beds the 18th of April,
and used the tobacco grower freely
on them, and had good plants, large
enough to set out June 1st. He sue
ceeded in putting out as large crop
as he planted last year-19 acres.
Knowing you would be glad to hear
this, we give you the item.
We are yours truly,

RuMoRED CONSULTATIONS The Chi
cag0 Times has what it believes to be
trustworthy information that Jay Gould
has originated, and the stockholders of
the Central Pacific Railroad have sec
onded plan to consolidate the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads under one
infringement, with Sidney Dillon as
President, Clark, General Manager Of the
Tn ion Pacific, as General Manager, and
W ith ono Board of Directors. This will
greatly reduce the clerical and official
force, saving largely in salaries and the
cost of transportation, and will form n
continuous line under one management,
from Omaha TO San Francisco. 1t is
stated that the particulars are nearly ar
ranged, conference having taken place
with General Manager Clark in New
York, and W it'll General Freight Agent
Nihing, of the Union Pacific iE San
Francisco during the week. A consulta-
ton will be held this week in New YUrk
between General Dillon and tie President
of the Central Pacific. 1t is further stat
ed that the principal owners Of the Cent
raj Pacific are anx iOus to retire. in order
10 take part in tho construction of the

EDITORIAL JOTTINcS.

Don't MENTION IT.-Trinity County
has direct interest in three Delegates to
the Constitutional Convention, viz: Hon.
w. j. Tinhin Delegate at Large, Hon.
ID. G. Stevenson Senatorial District Del
egate, and Hon. A. X. Andrews Assem-
bly, District Delegate. The constituents
of these gentlemen would doubtless be
pleased TO know what they are doing in
the Convention and ancient and honora-
BILE custom would seem to make it obliga-
tory on them to keep the said constituents
informed on the subject. The way in
which this is ordinarily done is by sending
to the local press copies of measures in
troduced, reports Of committees and such
other printed documents as naturally sug-
gests themselves as of general interest.
The editor thereby has his attention di-
rected to the matter and through his pa
per informs the people of whatever may
have been done by their representatives.
Should a Delegate be ashamed of his
action, or desire to keep his constituents
in ignorance as TO the course he was pur-
suing, it is probable that he would not
mail any Public Documents, like those
referred to, to the local paper of bis Dis
trict. In this connection we will say to
the readers Of the JOURNAL that although
the Constitutional Convention has been
! in session at Sacramento for two months,
we have not received single document
Of any kind from either Of the three Del
egates referred TO, and we infer therefrom
! that they have either done nothing in
these two months OF that what they have
done has been something which they do
! not wish 10 have known. To say the least
our local Delegates have not acted as
they should have done in this matter
The Journal advocated the election Of
Mr.. Tnnn and Mr.. Stevenson and was
entitled to more courteous treatment at
their hands.

It's CosT AND PRoBABLE REsULT.-
For the eight weeks in which the Con
stitutional Convention has been in session
the Controller Of the State has drawn his
warrants for the sum of $l04, 900 in round
numbers. This is not extravagant but
dear enough, as from present indications
the labors of the Convention will amount
to nothing. The body is a failure and il
cannot be expected to produce many good
fruits. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
before the closing days of the session some
Legitimate propositions may be acted up
on and presented 10 the people for theil
approval. Any Constitution which the
Convention may submit as whole al
ready seems doomed tc defeat.

MINoRITY REpREsENrArroY - We
have received a small pamphlet on this
subject addressed to the Constitutional
I Convention by Judge Davis Louderback
of San Francisco. The gentlemen argues
stoutly in favor Of the proposition and
presents an indisputable array of facts
and figures which show eonclusively that
in many instances nearly one half the
voters are practically without representa-
tion under the present method of choosing
Legislators. The rights of minorities
should and must be protected. In Dis
trict which has 1000 votes and entitled to
8 representatives, if there are 1000 Re-
publicans and 1 600 Democrats, it is only
fair that the representatives should be
propOrtionately divided, or Republicans
and l Democrat. As it now is the Re
publcahs would get all three-and such
would be the case il they had only 1000
votes while the other had 400. Louder
back proposes to remedy this by dividing
the State into Districts entitled to three
representatives each and allowing each
voter to vote for but two. and for another
separately as "thrd" representative /:
when the minority fails to poll one-third
Of the votes, then the third" mar voted
for by the majority is to be declared
elected. This would prevent very small
minOriles from being represented beyond
their just deserts, but would secure to
respect ablo minorities just representa-
ton. The plan proposed seems to be a
good one, but we doubt whether that fact
will help it any in the Convention.

A RAILROAD in Tennessee, which cost
$4,000 900, was sold the other day by a
receiver appointed to administer its affairs
for just enough to cover his own tees and
legal expenses. The stockholders held a
meeting the next day, and wrote said
official { sarcastic letter, thanking him
for not bringing them into debt. The re
ceiver replied cheerluly, begging them
not to mention it, and saying he was
sufficiently rewarded in the onsciousness
of having done his duty. This only goes
to show what genuine appreciation of
native American humor Tennessee re-
cevers have.

REVENUE AND TAXATION. - The
Committee on this important subject has
made its report to the Convention, and
although that body may make consider
able changes therein the report is said to
he satisfactory. It's principal features
are as follows: "The Committee declare
that taxes shall be uniform. and that all
property franchises, capital stock of as
sociations, and solvent debts, shall be tax
ed according TO value. Ali cultivated
and uncultivated land, o: the same quail

or fractional section shall be valued and
assessed separately; and for the purpose of
subdivicing and assessing, the Assessor
and Surveyor, and their assistants, may
enter upon any lands within their respec-
tive counties. Mortgages shall be assess
ed 10 holders thereof, and the amount
the property is mortgaged for shall
he deducted from the assessed valuo.
The whole tax shall be lien on the pro
perty, and il the owner of the land pay
the tax on the mortgage he shall be al
lowed TO deduct the sum from the inter
est or amount Of the mortgage. Con-
tracts made by Itch a debtor is to pay
any tax on meney loaned, or on any
mortgage, lien, or trust, is void. Cor
pGratiors hereafter formed sha I'll pay into
the treasury 500 for the frat $4,000 or
less capital stock, and $50 for every addi-
tonsl $40, 900 OF stock and $50 for every
$50, 600 of stock increased thereafter. No

ture ana sale of spirituous and malt H.
quors, shows, theaters, sleighto Of hand
and performances and exhibitions of pro
fit, and such others as the Legislature
may judge the public peace or geod order
may require to be under special State or
municipal control. A poll tax of not
less than 81 shall be levied annually on
every male inhabitant over q and under
90 Years of age. Taxes on real estate
may be paid by installments. Each tax
payer shall make and give 10 the County
Assessor annually n statement under oath,
setting forth specifically all the real and
personal property owned by such tax
payers or in his possession or under his
control, at noon on the first Monday of
March. The State tax shall not exceed
forty cents on the 500, exclusive of such
tax as may be necessary to pay existing
State debts. There shall be a State
Board of Equalization, consisting of two

ANOTHER INvoICE.-The recent break
in Sierra Nevada Stock, which had Leen
sent up to ten times its real value, will
doubtless be as prolific as its predeces-
sors in furnishing suicides and insane, to
say nothing of bankrupts. But people
will go on buying stocks just the same,
well knowing that it will end in another
disasterous break. Human nature is i'm
bued with desire to become suddenly
wealthy, but past results show that min
ing stocks have much greater power to
make men suddenly poor. One poor man
OF yesterday may be wealthy to day, but
ten rich men of to day are more likely to
be poor Tomorrow. Such is the history
Of Stocks.

TRANSMISSION of blood into rival: "An
enormous jacKass was procured from the
country and taken up into the editorial
rooms. The surgeon opened its lemoral
artery near the neck, and carefully in

connected with Mr.. Browns jugular vein,
