fay TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl ?.
WASHINGTON Feb. 19-The promoters of the
Grant movement in Washington are relying upon
the effect of the reappearanee of their candidate in
the United States before the meeting Of the Chicago
Convention to give their boom" a final impetus
that shall carry the nomination of Grant Though
with hurrah against all opposition.
On the of the General from Mexico II is IN
tended that he shall land at New-Oreans and make
triumphant progress through tleSouthern States
The white people of that section are expected TO
treat him with marked consideration and respect
They are being depended upon to give him, IN their
exctabe way, assurances of political support. snd
thus TO revive the Democratic Grant boom" about
which there was some talk month or two ago In
addition to that it is believed that the coored men
of the South will make an enthusiastic demonstra-
ton in favor of the General; and that the whole
proceeding will have such effect On the canvass
for the nomination to make the success OF any
other candidate entirely out of the question.
The four circumstances upon which the Grant
men base their hopes therefore; are: First. TIE
solid vote of Pennsylvania, which they think Sem
afor Cameron has already secured for them; sec
ondly the 20 votes of NewYork State, whtef they
believe Senator Conkling will be able 10 give to
General Grant; thirdly, the sod vote OF ILLINOIS,
which they do not yet admit that any other candl-
date can break and lastly, the enthusiasm winch
General Grants return is expected to inspire;
This combination Is not one that Is desplsed by the
thoughtful friends of other candidates. They be-
leve that they can defeat it; but they we'll know
that they will have no easy task.

Mr.. John W. Black and the editor
-of the CITIZEN. During the day we
made the acquaintance of Mr.. A.
A. Dickerson and Mr.. Shields, two
of the oldest citizens of the county,
the latter having lived in the vicin-
ity of Lynnville sixty-nine years.
Both are enjoying hale and serene
old age, surrounded by children
and friends who reverence their
gray hairs. At the conclusion of
the picnic we returned to Lynnville
and spent the time remaining until
the arrival of the train with the
hospitable citizens of that place.
We noted many improvements in
the appearance of the place since
our last visit ten years ago, and de-
tected everywhere spirit of indus
try, thrift and business enterprise
which speaks well for the character
of its citizens. During our stay,
which was briefer than we wished,
we received many kind attentions
at the hands of Mr.. j. H. Burrow
and his excellent wife, as well as
from DR., Pepper, Mr.. G. II. Witt,
Mr.. Gale Thomas and others. Upon
the whole, our visit was so pleasant
that we intend to repeat it at an
early day and take in other stock
farms In that vicinity.

DEPOT DOTS.

Through traffic is light compared
with last winters business, but it is
much heavier than ever before at
this season of the year.
Agent o. NJ. Dunn, accompanied
by his amlsble lady and their son,
made a flying trip to Nashville
Tuesday. Their visit. although
brief, was pleasant one.
A new time card will take effect
Sunday next. The change in the
schedule will be slight, however, and
only affect the day passenger train
bound south, which will arrive a
little later.
1t is reported that Mr.. +. o.
Saltmarsh, for several years clerk
to superintendent Geddes, and later
resident engineer of the n. and ID.
division, is to be transferred to the
Owesboro branch as superinten-
dent.
Preparations are being made to
turn over the business of the I'M
ion Express to the L. and n. com
pany, and the work OF absorption
will begin at an early day. The
present officers OF the express com
pany will be retained under the
new arrangement.
Engine No. 60, which is at pres
ent running a passenger train on
this division, is one of the finest
on the road. 1t welGhs 81 tons,

Matt Common, who knows the value

Tickets will be sold to schools
wishing to attend the Centennial at
3 cents per mile for the round trip,
or $265 each, including a ticket of
admission TO the Exposition. This
is a low rate and we hope our
schools will take advantage Of it,
Principals should apply to Agent
Dunn for tickets several days in
advance, so that he can make the
necessary arrangements for procur-
ing them.
