developing resources now hidden
and worthless. 1t would be source
of extreme qualification to us to see
the Blue Ridge road completed,
giving us a direct line south. We
should rejoice at the completion of
the Western Ncrth Carolina con"
nectlons, opening up another route
to the Atlantic. We should like
an independent connection at Emory
Gap with the Cincinnati Southern.
But these roads will not be built by
breaking down those we already
have. 1t is not necessary to our
present prosperity that numberless
suits should be instituted against
the railroads to be tried before jul
ries poisoned by popular prejudice,
and laboring under the impression
that everything is fair as against
the railroads. Let us devise means
for building all the roads we need
and at the earliest possible moment,
and at the same time let us treat
fairly those we already have.

LET Us BE FAIR.

When gentlemen indulge in per-
sonal abuse of railroad officials, they,
perhaps, do not stop to consider Of
the relation such officials sustain to
their roads. Take, for instance,
the case of Col. McGhee, the vice
president, who acts as general
manager of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad. He
does not own, probably, more than
q one>twentieth interest in the road.
He is acting in fiduciary capacity
for the stockholders and bondhold>
ers of the road, very small pore
ton of whom reside in Knoxville or
East Tennessee. He is in honor
bound to manage the business for
the best interests of those who own
the road. 1t is his business to make
the most he can, legitimately, for
his employers, and when he
dispenses free passes or reduces
freight rates, he must consult their
interests. Why then should he or
his subordinates be made the object
of abuse for simply doing what they
are In honor bound to do. We hon
estly think that men do it without
thinking what they are about.
We regret to see SO much popular
prejudice against the railroads of
the country. There is no estimat-
ing what they have contributed to
our greatness as nation. A com
munity without the benefit of rail-
roads, if any such can be found, is
far behind the age. Would that we
mad a railroad running through
very county in Tennessee. 1t
Vould add millions to our wealth by

THE TISSUE BALLOT PLAN.
One Variation Of It Which Did Not
Work in Sou b Carolina.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Ca
zette.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Gen>
tlemen who have arrived from South
Carolina explain how it happened
that the democratic bill, originated
by the tissue ballot men of last
year, for the Acknowledgement of
colored voters, came to be defeated
The measure provided that no one
should vote except such as could
write their names on the registry
list. This occasioned great
CONSERVATION in the upper
counties, where it was estimated
that in two of them alone two
thirds of the white citizens would
be excluded from the polls, and that,
in the state at large, at least 10000
whites would be disfranchised. The
matter bid fair to disrupt the party,
and the old feud between the up
and the low country men, which
ragged before the war, was being
famed into life again. So bitter
was the feeling that the managers
saw the absolute necessity of aban-
doning this plan One of the argus
ments against the bill was much to
the credit of the colored citizens of
the state-namely, that within three
every colored adult in South
Carolina would learn to write his
name, while the majority of the
poor whites could not be induced to
take this trouble for the sake of cit>
izenship.

THEY have a peculiar way of dis
franchising republicans in the little
state of Delaware. Under the laws
Of the state, no person can vote
without paying pOll-tax, and no
poll-tax can be paid unless the
name of the taxable person appears
on the assessment list. The ass
SCISSORS are democrats, and they
find it entirely convenient to omit
from their lists the names of men
who would vote the republican tick
ct and who are subject to only a
poll-tax. This works much more
smoothly than the Mississippi plan
1t DISTINGUISHES a class Of men who
say little about it, being used to it
by this time, perhaps, and the
somewhat disagreeable necessity o.
resorting to shot guns is avoided
1t has the appearance of gentility

THE Knoxville Tribune says that
''no democratic leader, either south
or north, ever held any such doc
trine as that a state is above the
United States" and defes US to
produce such a declaration from any
of them. The editor of the Tribune
has read and heard declarations
time and again from democratic
leaders, that amount to the same
thing. And by their acts, which
speak louder than words, nine out
of every ten Of the present promi>
nent Southern democratic leaders
have declared that the states are
above the federal government. In
1861, as the editor of the Tribune
we'll knows, the leaders of the Sc,
cession movement, with which a
majority of the southern democratic
leaders are identified, held that the
federal government had no power
to "coerce a sovereign state If
they have changed their minds, they
have not said so.
If this was not claiming suprem-
acy for the state over the nation,
The editor of the Tribune will please
explain just what it does mean.
And when he does that satisfacto-
lily, then it will be time enough for
lin to take US to task for "reckless
assertions" Until he does that,
'ur former statements, to which he
axes exception, remain unanswered.

Special to the Sentinel:
COLUMBUS. Ind, April 26.-John Jamison, of
JOnesviIle, This County, was in this city this
morning, on his way to a spot located just at
the corner Of Bartholomew Brown and John
son Counties. Thirteen years ago Johns
father, James JamisOn, was well-to-do stock
dealer, who traded great deal in that locality,
and always carried n considerable of
money with him. In the year 1867, in the fall
season, James Jsmison failed TO return to his
family, after going in this loc atty "a trading
expedition. Search was made, bu. no
tidings were ever found except
his morse, bride and saddle, which were
found in the possession OF a man who then
and now resides just IN the northeast corner
of Brown County, HambIin Township. This
man said he had purchased the horse of Jami-
son before his mysterious disappearance. Ex-
element ran high, and the people generally
believed this man had something
u do with the mysterious dis
appearance of Jamison, il being generally
conceded he had been murdered, as was
thought, for his money. a Vigilance Commit
tee gathered to lynch him, but better counsel
prevailed, Nothing but vague suspicion
pointed TO him, and the matter finally died
out, and had become almost forgotten.
Yesterday John Jamison received a letter
saying that VIM. p. GIllispy, residing in the
locality named, had died day or so ago, and
on his death-bed confessed that he and the
person above alluded to, and lis son, in whose
possession the horse, saddle and bride were
found, and another man, one of the most prom
inent citizens in Brown County, now a citizen
of Nashville, had shot and killed Jamison
and robbed him of 81, CTS and So 600 in notes;
and that in the divide the person who had the
horse, bride and saddle in his possession had
taken him 500. He says the body was
buried In the night, after he was killed about
midnight, on Hurricane Ridge, three-quarters
of mile from the premises where the horse
was found, in Hamblue Township, Brown
County.
Search is being made for the remains, and IL
found as indicated, the parties will be at once
arrested. The matter has created good deal
of excitement here, and considerable interest
is manifested in the matter. Some startling
developments are looked for soon.

Here is scrap OF testimony under oath,
given at the investigation of Republican bal
lot-box stutfing, in Philadelphia on Wednes-
day:
While talking to Republican window book
man named HartmaB, whom he believed was
q member of the Hook and Ladder Company
on Union Street, he saw him picking the ward
ticket from a large bundle of ballots which he
held in his right hand. After he had selected
q number, Hartman put his hand deliberate
ly through the window and laid the ballots on
the top of the ward box, when some one in
side the poll showed the tickets at once into
the ballot-box. When questioned as to the
number Mr.. Rogers said there were more
than five, and possibly ten, but he could not
tell. He thought that Hartman was only
playing a joke st first, but the tickets were
showed right into the box and the polls iInme-
dlately closed. No other votes were received
afterward. Mr.. Rogers was searchingly cross
examined by Mr.. Sim pson, counsel for Mr..
Carpenter, but his testimony was not shaken,
He said that at the time OF the occurrence
there were half dozen persons in the room,
but he could not see the face of the person who
put the tickets in the box. He only saw a
hand reach over and push them In. He was
outside the wiHdow, and could only see
through the small hole through which the
votes were passed.

ELKHART.
Death of Senator b. L. Davenport.


ELKHART. Ind, April 25.-About o'clock
Friday morning Senator b. L. Davenport
passed away. Tuesday afternoon he was taken
sick with pneumonia, and rapidly grew worse
until death, and knew he had but short time
to remain in this world. He arranged all his
matters which were left undone before his
sickness and quietly dropped to sleep never TO
awake. He was one OF the best business men
in the County, was President OF the First
National Bank of this city, also interested
In couple of paper mills. The
Davenport residence upon the north bank Of
the st. Joe River, is a beautiful one. He was
a great lover of his home and its surroundings.
He was born July 2, 1924, in Shelby County,
Ohio, and emigrated to this section of the
country when but a lad of fifteen. He OBJ
tanned employment at one thing or another
for a couple OF years, when he was offered a
situation as clerk in a dry goods store at War
saw. Remaining there about two years, he
once more came TO Elkhart, and went into
dry goods establishment clerk, remaining
with the firm a couple or three years, when
he and an older brother formed partnership
in the dry goods business for themselves.
Their new enterprise brought them both a fair
fortune. His next investment was with j. r.
Beardsly and John Cook, buying the First
National Bank. Mr.. Davenport was made
President, which position he retained up to
his death. He leaves a wife and five daughters.
