ascertained, but it is known that the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
will purchase the branch road of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company running from Cowan Ia
Tracy City. They will extend this
road from the latter point down Cum
berland Mountain by the Carnard
place to Grifin's creek, and thence
down the valley to Victoria, where il
will connect with the main stem of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad at
Bridgeport. The road from Bridgeport
to Victoria is already complete. The
new line will be thirty miles in
length.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail
road Company on its part agrees to
build two furnaces at some point on
the line Of the Nashville and Chatta-
nocga railroad, and to build three more
within the next five years.
1t is understood that all the details
and all the papers for this magnificent
project will be signed up and settled
this week, and that work will com.
mence on the road within a very short
time.
The result of this grand plan cannot
be estimated. The new road will pierce
the heart Of the finest coal country in
the State, and will aid more in the
industrial development Of the State
than anything done ia years.

IoI,n Carlisle.

In the course of recent lengthy

"rhe election in Ohio indicates in
its results something more than a
mere defeat on local issue. The Re.
publicans are adroitly endeayoring to
account for our gains by the prohibi.

PITTsBURG, October 3O.-The strike
Of the East Liverpool, Ohio, pOtters,
which was inaugurated over five
months ago has become only a strike
in name, OF the seven hundred men
who quit work when their employers
notified them that any who joined the
Knights Of Labor would be discharged
all but one hundred and fifty have
either ireturned to twork or left
the town, and of the eight
potteries implicated FIVE are
running at nearly half their capacity,
and two are entirely idle, while the
largest has nearly all the hands needed.
In all these works the iron clad con-
tract, which binds each man to keep
out of the Knights of Labor organiza-
ton, is in force.

The merchants Of Tennessee are
liable under law to pay a double tax
upon capital invested, which is arbi-
trarily construed to mean the largest
amount of goods held at one time,
whether owned and paid for, bought
on a credit or merely consigned. All
efforts to have this singularly unjust
and impolitic law repealed have sig
nally failed. The business of mer-
cbandise is made a privilege, and the
retail dealer who carries so small a
stock that the ad valorem tax would
not amount to a dollar, is forced to
pay a specific privilege tax; but when
the ad valorem tax passes this point
the privilege tax EollOws,and is equal to
it, except upon goods sold out Of the
State, which are protected by pro-
vision of the constitution. The Dem
ocratic platform adopted in June
favors an equalization of taxes upon
mercantile pursuits. The same prin
ciple has been contended for by nearly
all the daily press, at least for many
years, but now some of the sky blues
affect to smell free whisky and the re-
peal Of the four mile law.

a foregone conclusion, and tits almost
certain that he will receive more votes
