Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1879-12-20

THE New York News has this
paragraph concerning the immigra-
ton of North Carolina negroes into
Indiana:
A resolution has been introduced
in Congress for the appointment OF
Especial committee of five to inquire
into the causes of the continued
exodus of negroes from the South to
the Western States. This move
ment appears to have taken a new
impetus of late from North Carolina
to Indiana, and there is good reason
to believe that it is in the interest of
certain Republicans, who are de-
termined to wipe out the Democratic
majority in Indiana. Evidence of
| this isafforded in the fact that Il party
of these negroes, who were inter-
viewed on a train recently, stated
that aid had been promised to them,
and that they had promised TO vote
the Republican ticket in their new
home; and the spokesman artlessly
! declared: We alters did that, any
how The white laborers of Indi-
ana and other Western States will
be pretty certain to have an opinion
about this mode of controlling cleo
tions, and all the facts concerning
the movement should be fully VEN
tilated."

ARAILROAD FEASIBLE.


The committee to which the Board
'of Trade assigned the duty of organ
izing a railroad company last week
have not been idle. They were in
vited on yesterday week to a meet
ing with Col. Killebrew who had
important matter for their conside-
ration. The meeting was held at
the Office of Messrs. Smith d Lur-
ton. Col. Killebrew stated that he
had proposed the meeting in conse-
quence of an interview he had had
with Col. Falconet, the chief engin-
eer on the Cole system of railroads.
FalcOnet, he said, had spoken of a
strong desire on the part of Col.
Cole to establish q connection be-
tween GAINESVILLE and theline which
he is constructing between Owens
borO and Nashville, and he eX-
pressed his conviction that ifthe peo-
pie of the counties along such con-
Meeting line would raises ,OOOa mile
stock for the purpose, Col. Cole
would construct the line. Col. Kill
Hebrew is not a man to talk without
reason for what he says, and though
Col. Cole has not authorized direct
proposition, we have little doubt
but what he would accept such a
proposition on our part. The point
at which such a line would. strike
his route is between Adairsville,
KY, and Springfield, Tenn, and
our line to reach it would lie wholly
within the Tennessee counties OF
Montgomery and Robertson, the
distance being about thirty miles.
The subscription required, therefore,
would be not more than $50, 600.
We shall very soon know whether
Col. Cole is willing to make this
offer in black and white, and, if so,
there is no doubt that the people OF
our county can raise the stock il
they are convinced of the expedi.
ency of accepting it. OF this there
is no doubt in our mind. 1t is OF
vast Importance to us to have com.
peting lines Northward and South.
ward, and if there be other lines
that would better suit our local
interests, these must give way to
the consideration that the line now
proposed certainly can be construct,
ed, while it is doubtful whether
lines by Princeton or ElktOn would
for long while be within our avail.
able means. The reason for prefer.
ring line by Princeton or ElktOn
is the direct access to coal, which is
so essential to our attainment O
manufacturing importance; the line
now proposed would give us access
to good coal along the OwensborC
line-not so direct, but sufficiently
SO to establish competition on fail
terms with the mines now supplying
us.
The half is better than the whole,
