THE RAILROAD BOOM.

The excitement which has pre-
vailed in Knoxville for the past
fortnight over the rise in East Ten>
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail-
road stock reached it's highest pitch
yesterday when stock to the amount
of $50, 900, owned by Jefferson
county, was put up for sale to the
highest bidder. By reference to our
news columns it will be seen that it
reached the extraordinary figures
of $f.88. A short time ago it was
dull sale at 80 cents on the dollar.
Later it began to go up, and when
it reached sixty a great many hold
ers disposed Of their stock. Then
it went up to par, about the the of
the last annual meeting Of the
stock holders, held in October. Ii
has been steadily going up since
A week ago, after the sale of the
A. NJ. & o. Road, it reached 81, SO,
then S1.60, $1.7O, and yesterday
sold at publ, sale as above stated.
Now every one appears Devil
dered and the end is not yet. The
fight for the control Of our road
goes on. It is a battle between
financial giants, and the longes
purse will perhaps win.
Jefferson county is to be con-
graduated upon having disposed o
her stock in the road at such favora
BILE figures. The managers of tn,
county finances have done the bes
thing possible in our opinion. TIL
fund received from this source will
pay every dollar the county owes
We understand, and leave a hand
, some sum in the treasury.

a nest of causes for continuance.
Witnesses are not paid until the
costs are collected, and, l believe, the
States witnesses not at all.
The grand jury has inquisitorial
powers in whisky and gamhlipg cases,
where the s ale may receive some rev.
enue, but in murders and rapes some
one must prosecLts aud incur the risk
of paying the cost.
II notorious fact that men of in
telligepce rarely ever get on jury in
a murder case. If he has read an
account OF it in his county paper, and
formed an opinion from reading it; ii
he has heard anyone tell the facts that
professed to know them and hiss an
opinion, he is disqualified. He has
got 10 live in the backwoods and be
ignorant of all the facts, before he il

Our whole system is based upon tht
