Colonel Nat Archer and family, Capt.
Robert Brown and family, and H. NJ.

leave SURPRISES my comprehension, for
nature hath left nothing undone to
make Dunlap favorite watering re-
sort of the South, and if the dear peo-
pie of sweltering Memphis could only
view, even from the distance, her cool
and shady groves, her winding walks,
her lovely lawns, her cold and healing
waters, her beautiful river, that flows
near by, and snuff the fragrant breezes
from Spring Greek Valley, imagine
all would be well. Though long neg
lected, Dunlap's merit will yet bring
it to the front, for her surroundings
are in every way superior to those of
Bon Aqua, Cooper'a Wells, Hurricane
Springs, Bailey's, or even the White
Sulphur, and in due time will doubt
less surpass them all in celebrity, until
even that of Long Branch and Sara

Tue Tennessee penitentiary is re-
ported to be in a miserable condition,
its books are kept very loosely, pur-
posely 50, the Nashville American
charges, whole pages being torn out,
until it is impossible to tell when pris-
oners were admitted and how long
their terms were. Not only this, but
many of the accounts of prisoners are
actually falsified, one man being down
for eighteen years for rape, whereas
the records of the court which had
convicted him, showed that he had
been convicted tor ten years for rob
berry. These mistakes are invariably
against the convicts, many Of whom
served, on this account, six years
beyond the time for which they were
sentenced.

West Tennessee Papers Please Copy.


All delegates to the great Immigra-
ton and Manufacturing convention to
assemble i'll jackson, Tenn, on the
10Th of August, will be passed from
all stations in West Tennessee to Jack
son and return free over the following
railroad lines: Louisville 81 Nashville,
Chicago, St. Louis Il New Orleans,
Mobile IL Ohio, and Memphis d
Charleston. The Nashville, Chatta-
nooga u st. Louis gives half fare
rates, but we hope will yet grant free
transportation, us the other great roads
have done. The Memphis & Padu-
cab road has not been heard from, but
a favorable response is anticipated
1t will be remembered that dele
gates are requi:cd to hold and present
to conductors certificates of appoint
ment from their respective county
courts, or city authorities. with county
or city seal thereon, and upon these
certificates they will be passed free
over the roads named 1t will also be
remembered that each county is cnti-
tied to ten delegates, each Incorporated
town three, and the city of Memphis
ten. This number will be passed free
from each county and town in West
Tennessee. There will also be passed
free on certificate and seal Of the town,
one representative from each paper in
West Tennessee. The executive COM
mittee have decided to recommend as
delegates all other citizens who may
feel sufficient interest in the objects of
the convention to pay their own trans
portatlon and to attend, whether they
hold certificates as delegates or not.
The hotels and boarding houses of
Jackson will entertain delegates at one
dollar per day. The convention will
meet in the Supreme Court room, n
large, elegant and delightful place,
where everything necessary for the
work or comfort of the delegates will
be provided free. Ample committee
rooms are convenient. If desirable
the operahousc will bc used at night
for public addresses by the distin-
guiShed guests of the convention.
1t is urged that all delegates arrive
in jackson on the 9th of August, so
that the convention may get to work
to work on the morning of the 10th.
A programme will be issued next
week.
The people of Jackson will extend
every hospitality and will interest
themselves heartily in making the
delegates enjoy their business visit to
their city. There will be room for
all. Let the attendance be large, and
the result will be new a brighter era
in the history of West Tennessee

TIE Boston Journal remarks:
"Mr. Chalmers, of the Shoe String
district, is ambitious to succeed
Mr.. Lamar i'll the Senate. If he
will undertake to fill Lamar's
place, he will present the specta
Gle of four year old boy in Il
mans boots" This is pretty
rough Oh the general, but the
journal is a Republican paper.
We do not go as far as the Jour
nal, but we do think that neither
General Chalmers, nor any other
man in Mississippi could come
near filling Senator Lamar's
place.

We learn from The Washington
Post that Bookwalter owes his
nomination in Ohio to three prin-
cipal causes: First, his popularity
with the laboring classes and the
rural population. Secondly, a
feeling not openly expressed, but
nevertheless strong, that 4 can
didate should be selected who
could meet the Republican candi-
date on equal terms financially;
and lastly, to the popular senti-
mcnt among the younger mem of
the party in favor ofretiring from
the leadership men whose use
fulness in that capacity expired
with a former generation.

THs Omo LEGISLATURE has been use
Isssly spending their time in passing a
bill to prevent the consolidation Of the
telegraph lines operating in that State.
If there were two companies in the
State ambitious of consolidating it is
difficult to see how any law of the
State could prevent it, as all that any
company would have to do to render 6
monopoly complete, would be TO cease
operating and allow the other company
to gather up its trade. The valuable
things transferred are not poles, instru-
ments and capital invested but the
business transacted huilt up and con-
trolled by the line. A simple sban-
dcnment of this business by one COM
paEy throws it into the hands of the
other company.

Delaware hang bsckf The Democratic
papers have so far advanced that thew
advocate schools for oolored children,

GENERAL GARFIELD will be formally
declared elected to the Presidency to-
day by the joiut convention OF both
houses OF Congress, and on the Fourth
of March next he will take his seat.
This is precisely what we predicted as
soon as he VAS nominated, but there
were a great many who pretended not
TO believe it, and there were many
others who predicted that Hancock
would be declared elected to-day and
would take his seat on the Fourth of
March. If our Democratic friends had
taken the word of the REPUBLICAN for
1t at the time they could have saved
from great deal of mud.
singing and forgery and they would
have felt much happier to-day.
