GRANT AND SHERMAN.

There comes an interesting story
from Washington. 1t seems that our
Ulysses, impclled by that noble sen
timent, "me first" that has always
been found uppormost in his compo-
sition, is lobbying in Congress for the
object of being appointed to a posi-
ton which he wants to have
dubbed Captain General. He has
served the Nation SO long and SO
well since he abandoned the business
Of tanning raw hides, that the
country must give him something all
the time. Grant is too high strung
to ask that his friend Sherman be
pushed aside in order that he may
take his place but he sees nothing
wrong in urging the creation of a
grade higher than General, so that he
may modestly overlap him.
Sherman, however, does not view
this operation through the same kind
of eyeglasses. He squeals indig-
nantly in q letter which he has adj
dressed to u New York paper, and
says that Grant is violating u pledge
made him in 1868, to the effect that
if he, Grant, became President he
would never seek to disturb him in
his position of Gencralissimo of the
United States Army.
The Solid South is Il disintcrcstcd
spectator of this charming quarrel
and as no favors arc due to either OF
the contestants, it is meet for South
orn Rebels to say:
Lay on, MaeDuF;
Damned, be he who first cries hold Enough T.

MORE LEGISLATION.

At this moment the press OF the
State, having blown itself out on the
subject of The Presidential election
and the emigration theme, is bring
Ing its guns to bear on the new
constitution and the Legislators who
interpreted IT'S provisions in SO bung-
ling u manner ut the late session of
the General Assembly.
Il would be somewhat indicate for
one who was a member Of the august
body who framed the constitution to
vaunt It's features or condemn them,
therefore well have little to say about
it, beyond this that we see nothing to
prevent the amending of the i'lstrll-
ment after experience will have dem
onstratcd that some of its component
parts do not operate advantagconsly
to thepublic interests.
We have an idea though, that the
General Assembly could SO frame leg
islation as to render the constitution
q fundamental law Of more value than
some Of our contemporaries attach to
it. We agree with those who assert
that the acts of the late Legislature
are not satisfactorily framed, but dc
not feel quite sure that the same men
if called together in an extra session
of twenty days, would do more
than spend some fifty or sixty thous-
and dollars Of the peoples money.
TO be sure, it may be that New
Orleans needs a new Charter; TIM
the revenue act operates unsatisfac
torily; that the jury laws ought to b'
amended, and that other mattcr
here aud there could be improved
yet we can't help but fall back int

Of our Legislators appear rs doctor

planned of.
We are open to conviction, never

THEY COME GREAT MANI
FESTATIONS OF JOY.

CINCINNATI, March 18.-Four
trains, carrying fifteen hundred
southern merchants and leading
business men, arrived last night
from Chattanooga over the Cincin-
natl Southern railroad, to celebrate
the opening of the new line. A
hearty welcome was given the visit
ors, who were escorted to hotels,
amid enthusiastic demonstrations,
ringing of bells, displays of fire.
works, etc. The city was profusely
decorated and brilliantly illumin>
ated. A grand banquet will be
given in Music hall to>night.
CINCINNATI, March 18.-The
last train of the southern excur-
sionists did not reach the city until
4 o'clock this morning, owing to a
delay caused by hot boxes on the
new cars. To-day the visitors are
being shown about the city by
committee of four hundred citizens.
A large number visited the chamber
of commerce, which was beautifully
decorated with flags and flowers,
and welcoming notices in honor of
the southern guests. At the close
of the business hours, President
Brown formally welcomed the visi~
tors and introduced Mayor Crane,
president of the Atlanta board of
trade, who read poem commemo-.
rative of the event, written by Rev.
Mr.. Martin, of Atlanta.
Governor Marks, of Tennessee,
followed with humorous reference to
his attempt during the war, along
with some $4,000 other southerners,
to reach Cincinnati, and saying he
came to-day with a few of his neigh,
bors to render an apology for
failing to come sooner, and
he was glad to say that in
the warmth and welcome he and his
friends had received, they forgot the
disappointment of their failure in
the past.
Gov. Colquitt, of Georgia, fol-
lowed, and said that here and now
was fitting occasion when the dead
past should be buried forever,
and in behalf of those who
came with him, as we'll as
of those left behind, he gladly
extended the right hand of friend~
ship.
Hon. E. A. James, of Chatta>
nooga, made brief remarks, in the
course of which he warned Cincin-
natl to meet and overcome the ad-
versaries seeking to nullify the
rate of its costly road.
There was parade of police and
an exhibition of the fire department
this afternoon.

SHOT IN TIE AC",
A Negro who Was ObstFucIing a Rail
road Track.


Memphis Ledger, Thursday
For some time past the engineers of
trains on the Mississippi and Tennes-
see railroad have found distractions
on the track near Senatobia. The
disbolical work WAS done systematic
ally, regularly aud adroitly. Ac-
cidents were only aYerted by
the utmost vigilance. Detectives
have been employed and at work for
fully three months TO ferret out the
authors of such an infamous purpose.
One of these was successful last even
ing. He had for some time suspected
negro in the neighborhood, and by
representing that he had been put off
the train once by conductor and that
he was determined to have revenge,
he got into the negro's confidence. The
two then arranged to obstruct the
track 80 effectually that the down
train last evening would be completely
wrecked, The negro fell into the
trap, and while in the act of placing
cross ties on the track, his cOmrade
gave a shrill whistle, and the town
marshal opened fire on the real crimi-
nal. He was caught, after short
chase aud it was found that he had
received full load, of sixteen buck
shot, in the body The citizens
threatened to lynch him, but he was
safely lodged in the calaboose. If the
culprit survives, he is sure OF a long
term in the peni entiary.

Attorney General Field, in view ol
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court sustaining
Judge Rives in the matter of county
judges indicted in his court for the
alleged failure to have negroes on
juries, has withdrawn from the
cases as counsel for the indicted
judges, stating that he did not wish
to appear as placing himself and
the state in the attitude of resist,
ing the federal laws and decisions of
the supreme court. All the cases
were, therefore, continued till the
next term.

Special dispatch to the Constitution.
New YORK, March 1.-THE
Georgia Western project is still be-
ing busily discussed and apparently
heading up rapidly. Captain Clos
ter was toeday ordered by telegraph
to proceed at once to survey of
the route to Blount Springs by Ter-
rapin creek. Mr.. R. 7. Wilson in
timated that to build this line, which
will be 140 miles, will cost not ex-
ceeding two and half millions, and
will strike the rich coal and iron
region.
The general report here is that
Newcomb has formed an alliance
with Wilson and McGhee, who will
use the Georgia Western to connect
their Memphis and Brunswick sys>
tenn, and that Newcomb will make
Brunswick his port rather than
Savannah. He will 60 south about
Saturday, and will doubtless make
formal propositions to Atlanta at
once.
Under these rumors Nashville
and Chattanooga stock has fallen
from 124 to IS, as all Louisville
and Nashville freights will be car
ried beyond it and delivered into
Atlanta by the new line, if il is
built. The Louisville stock has
gone up steadily, as the Georgia
Western is a favorite project with
those most interested in this stock.
The conferences between Cole and
Newcomb here terminated, it is
said, in disagreement and Governor
Porter takes the presidency of the
Nashville and Chattanooga line.
The Louisville people to-day signed
papers giving them actual possess
sion of the Southeastern road.

(O), appropriating $6,655,OO0 for
the payment of army and navy
pensions, was agreed to by vote Of
yeas, 1877; nays, IS. The
question then required one

ties, able to read and write, and
we'll known residents Of the politi-
cal precinct where they perform

WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March Is.


The senate committee on CONS
merce to-day decided to report ad-
versely on the nomination Of A. G.
Wells, to be surveyor of the port of
New Orleans.
The Senate tosday devoted an
other long executive session almost
exclusively to the case of Rev.
Thos. j. Simmons, nominated as
census supervisor for the Atlanta,
Ga, district.
Senator Hill continued his re-
marks in advocacy of Simmons
confirmation, speaking about an
hour and half, and then requesting
that the case be laid over until to-
morrow for further discussion.
Senator Gordon, who has not yet
taken part in the debate, but who
is. s..earnestly opposed to this nomina-
tion, said that he had notified the
senate that he felt obliged to leave
Washington toomorrow morning, on
important business, and he therefore
hoped his colleague would finish
to-day. In that event, he would
pledge himself not to consume more
than five minutes in reply, and
would then ask for the vote. Sena-
tor Hill, however, said he needed
another hour to complete his ar
gument, and as it was already
nearly 6 o'clock, the senate ads
.journed. Senator Gordon will
therefore, postpone his departure
for the south, in order to take
part in the proceedings tomorrow.
