English Titles: There seems to be
a tendency springing up in England to
make a very free use of nobility-not
SO much in respect to E~nglishmen
themselves, though even on this head
something might be said in criticisms
Of the rather ignoble manner in which
Lord Beaconsfeld dispensed these
honorS just prior to his retirement
from office; but what we refer to now,
is their use IN connection with dis
tinguished foreigners. The new Chi
nese ambassador, who is to rcsettle
with Russia the Kuldja dispute, is al
most invariably spoken of in the Eng
llsh newspapers as the Marquis Tseng.
though it would be hard for the users
OF this title to give any valid reason for
its existence in connection with
a Chinese mandarin, who gained his
office by a species Of competitive ex-
animation, and who has no official
rank that he can pass on to his off
spring. But a still more singular case
Of title giving is found in connection
with the arrival in England of the en-
bassy sent by King Mtesa Of Ugunda,
the pious African potentate Of whom
Mr.. Stanley told so many stories.
This monarch, with the double desire
Of getting a white wife, and of secur-
ing the friendship Of Queen Victoria,
has sent three of his followers to
London, who have been received by
the royal Geographical society, and
have been otherwise lionized, But it
has been thought necessary to enoble
them, and so they have been gravely
introduced as Earl Namkaedi, Earl
kataruba, and Earl Sawaddu. One
Is tempted to wonder what title Sitting
Bull or Red Cloud would get if either
were to pay a visit to our transatlantic
cousins.

The tenth annual session of the
Tennessee Press association will be
held at jackson on the 10Th of June.
DR.. r. L. G. White, of the Lebanon
Herald, secretary, has issued an ad-
dress embracing the programme for
the occasion. None but bona fde
members of the association will be
entitled to the benefits of tranSporta-
ton, etc. An excursion to Chicago
and the lakes, returning via Cincin-
natl, is contemplated. The doctor
gives a vigorous and healthy notice
that the association and the railroads
will be protected from imposition. He
says, with charming trankness:
1t is very pleasant for a gentleman
to take a summer trip without ex-
pense, and good-natured newspaper
men sometimes like to confer this
pleasure on a friend-hence, journals
have frequently been represented" at
meetings of the association by persons
whose connection with the press was
wholly imaginary, and who were to-
tally unable to tell nonpareil from
ten-iine plea, or TO distinguish be-
tween a Gordon iobber and a thresh-
ing machine. This is an imposition
alike upon the associations, the rail-
roads and the public; and the seere-
tary absolutely declines to be a party
to it.
This is a BIT Of reform long needed,
and is due to the profession, to the
public, and to a sense of s~elf-respect.
Proctor Knott, bill Arp (Maior
Charles H. Smith, of Georgia., and
others, are expected to be present and
add to the pleasure of the occasion at
Jackson.

An onset 10 IngersOII.

The Waco (Texas) Telephone says 4:
REV. g.. w. Briggs, the southern
Methodist minister at Galveston, in
his recent lecture against ~Ingersoll,
said a law ought to be passed making
it high treason against the government
for any n to express open disbelief
in the bible. The penalty for high
treason is death. But to remove all
doubt as to his sentiments, MI. Briggs
further said that the skepticism and
free thought of this day ought to be
met with the halter and scaffold !
We presume this man Briggs
is a kind Of bigoted fanatic,
whose sayings are more to be
pitied than condemned. At all
events people should be thankful that
there is a God so wise, so merciful,
that he does not permit such men as
Rev. Mr.. Briggs to make and enforce
laws on religious belief or any other
subject. Why such a man is even al
lowed to fill the pulpit of the leading
church in Galveston, must be set
down as one of those mysterious dis
pensations of providence that IAN
not be explained. Mr.. Briggs has
done the cause of true religion a great
deal OF harm, for his intolerant spirit
will disgust any right minded person,
whether within or outside the pale of
the church."

A BIG COMBINATION,
with King Cole at the Head.

Chattanooga Times, 18th.
We learned yesterday from reliable
and authentic railroad sources, that
Colonel r. w. Cole. late president of
the N. @. & st. L. R'y, will in a few
days take charge of a consolidated
line Of road, consisting of the Mem
phis 4 Charleston railroad, and the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, and all branches and leased
lines belonging to them.
The headquarters of the managers
and the head Offices will be moved to
this city. The headquarters of the
y. L. v. q G. r.. R., are at present at
Knoxville, and the headquarters of the
NJ. 4 G. at Memphis. Under the new
management these Offices will be CON
sOlidated and moved here.
Surveys will at once be made for
the extension Of the NJ. and G. rail-
road from Stevenson, Alabama, to
this city via the Cincinnati and South
ern bridge, six miles above this point,
thus placing the Memphis road in an
independent position, it being at pres
ent in the power of the l.. and N.
management, using forty miles of
their tract from Stevensonville to
Chattanooga. Thisroad will be about
t%hirty-eight miles in length, and will
place Memphis five miles nearer At
lanta than via the N. and G. 1t will
run through a very fertile county the
grades are comparatively easy, no
bridges are to be built, and with the
exception Of one or two tunnels, the
entire road can be built without any
difficult engineering.
A road will also at once be surveyed
from Red Clay, Ca, on the Dalton arm
Of the h. T., V. & Ga. railroad to
Ooltewah on the Chattanooga arm.
This road will give Chattanooga a
second connection with Dalton, only
one mile longer than the W. & A.
connection. The Il. T., V. & Ga.
railroad own the Selma, Rome 4 Dal-
ton railroad from Dalton to Rome,
and that interest will be a stiff bidder
for the balance Of that line when the
judicial sale of it comes off on June
18th.
We have besides positive and d.
dect information that the Knoxville
Il Ohio railroad will be extended
from Clinton-about 40 miles from
Knoxville-to connect with the
Cincinnati Southern at Emory Gap,
and that work on the extension will
begin at an early day. The surveys
have already been made. The man.
agement of the L. T., V. & Ga. rail.
road also control this road.
These important movements will
entirely revolutionize the railroad sit
uation in the south. The extension
Of the NJ. G. R. R., will let the
ireights from the Mississippi valley
pass through the valley of the Tennes.
see without breaking bulk or paying
tolls to roads controlled by Louisville.
This connection will prove a great
leverage for the Cincinnati Southern.
There is no doubt but the G.. S.
trustees and the company controlling
that line have a full understanding
with this new and heavy combination
OF roads under the ablest manager of
the south.
An intelligent man with a map can
see what a tremendous power Cole
thus becomes, combined with the Gin
c%innati Southern. 1t will prove a
tremendous undercut for the Louis
vile combination, who will soon
earn that although Col. Cole has
been very quiet Of late, he has not
been idle.

A MEMPHIS correspondent of the
Nashville Banner pays Colonel L. W.
Cole a merited compliment, and thinks
he is the nan for governor. Colonel
Cole is eminently qualified for the
position, and would bring to bear in
the discharge Ofits duties a high order
of common sense and executive abili-
ty. But such a man cannot afford to
be governor. He is not a lawyer or a
stump speaker, and our people have
an idea that a man must be both to
go to congress. 1t is not worth the
time OF any competent man to be
governor merely for the name of it.
unless he aspires to the United States
senate and regards this as a stepping
stone. The salary of the governor of
Tennessee has been cut down to the
beggarly sun of three thousand dol.
lars per annum. No man who keeps
up a decent appearance and moves in
good society can save a cent out Of
that. Colonel Cole is well-to-do in
the world, but he made what he has
by hard work, prudent economy and
attention to his own business. We
cannot expect him to abandon this
and become a figure at the capitol. to
be abused and misrepresented, and
that at such a salary as he would
give a good book keeper. Colonel
Cole is in the right place. Weendorse
the compliment paid him but not the
suggestion. He was Thursday unani.
mously elected president of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail.
road, the road which holds a lease on
the Memphis and Charleston railroad.
Central headquarters will be at Chat
tanooga, but Colonel Cole will not re.
move his residence from Nashville.
We are sratiRed that Tennessee will
reap the benefit Of his enlarged views
his conservatism and his great en-.
terprise more fully than before.
Nashville will not lose him entirely
yet he will become identified with the
rest of the state from Memphis to
Bristol, and will occupy a position al
once congenial to his tastes and il
harmony with the whole course of hi
useful and successful life,

Furbush interviewed nj Little
Rock.

Democrat.l
w. Hynes Furbush, the colored
member of the last legislature, from
Lee county, whose independent
course at that time attracted a great
deal of attention, arrived this morning
from Memphis.
1t will be rememberedthat Furbush
went to Colorado sfter the adjourn
ment of the legislature, He started
out prospecting at once and very soon
struck it rich" As soon as he real
lied what he had done, he remember
ed a shooting ARRAY he had had with
one Bob Church, in Memphis, some
time before, and conceived the sensi-
BILE idea that it would be best to re-
turn and settle the affair before be-
coming a millionaire. He put his
plan into shape, and a few months
since landed in Memphis with $1,000
in his pockets. His trial came up
and he was soon in Jail. Friends in
terferred, Gov. Marks pardoned him,
and he is now en- route to his town
(Arbourville) on the head waters Of
the Arkansas. His town, we say, be-
cause he owns half of it, and his part.
ner the remainder.
In regard to Dorsey, he says the ex,
senator is immensely wealthy, and as
tricky to his friends as he is rich.
Did you hear of Dorsey making any
presents while here at the convention
He gave Robinson, Of Helena, $1,000
and it is useless for his friends tx
deny it.
What was his purpose?
Why, to make Robinson go his wa,
in the convention at Chicago.
Do you know Dorsey gave The
money?
Yes; he sent it to him at Memphis
| know it because l saw it and woI
S35 of it at a game Of poker.
