PUBLIC ROADS.

In another column, correspond
ent who is leading business man,
discusseses our bad roads and
methods by which they may be i'm
proved. His theory is a good one,
though all the details suggested may
not be practicable, and we invite at
tention to what he says. This country
has long suffered from the want OF
good roads. As cur correspondent
says, our roads, u majority of them,
are impossible for several months in
the year, and just at time when
the farmers are most interested in
getting their surplus products into
market. The Legislature at it's last
regular session passed e road law
which is n great Improvement upon
previous laws, and if it is faithfully
executed will be 4 relief to sill
the people.
Ona point alluded to by
our correspondent is of
the very highest Importance,
and has never received the consider
alton it's merits No man will
dispute that good public highways
adds largely to the value of farms.
Good roads in Knox County, leading
out in every direction from Kuoxs
vile, would increase the value of
real estate 100 per cent. A farmer
who has facilities for reading the
markets at all seasons of the year,
can clear double the money on the
same farm that he could were he
not favored with such facilities. If
the press OF Tennessee can succeed
in arousing the people and creating
public sentiment that will demand
and compel the construction of good
roads all over the country, the props
erty of the State will double it's
value in remarkably short period
of time.

ty the cost of his conviction, either
in money or in manual labor at so
much a day. Would it pay Knox
County to adopt such methods ? The
cost OF this class of prosecutions does
not cost the tax payers of Knox
County less than $4,000 a year, and
for this outlay she gets back abso-
lutely nothing. For all the good it
does, this large sum of money, taken
each and every year from the toiling
people, might as well be thrown into
the fire and burned up,
Suppose it cost Knox County
$4,000 to ciothe and feed, guard
and work her convicts, what would
she gain! At least the value OF all
this labor expended upon the roads
of the county. And if properly and
systematically managed by COM
petent road~master, elected by the
Intelligent magistrates of the coun-
ty, and subject to the direction of
it's chairman, with the proper
surveys made by competent
surveyor, many miles of good mac
adam roads could and would be
made, and the county would be as
much better off lis good roads would
make her condition than no roads at
all. This, OF course, can not be
done in a day or month, but If you,
Mr.. Editor, and the editors all over
the State will take this matter IN
hand and agltate and just keep up the
agitation long enough, you will find
that the people only want to be eniight-
ened upon this subject, and if you

facts, they will see to it that men are

and confidence who can not be
bought up, and who will pass such
laws as will subserve the best inter
ests of the country.

Public R0ads-How to Improve Them.

Mr., EDITOR: As the present con-
dition of our public roads is at this
time common and almost uniyer
sal topic of conversation, it may not
be inappropriate to try and throw
out some suggestions that may pos
sibly lead to intelligent methods by
which they may be improved Safe,
easy and rapid transportation is one
OF the greatest material blessings to
any section, and it is the opinion OF
all right thinking men, that the mis-
cradle roads throughout East
Tennessee are doing more to re>
tard our beautiful country than
almost all other influences. Why is
it that lands in Kentucky are worth
from 800 to $3.50 per acre, while
in East Tennessee, the best watered
country on earth, with climate the
most favorable, with soil that is
generous in the extreme and scenery
nowhere excelled, lands as fruitful as
any in Kentucky. are worth only $40
to $25 per acre1 The answer is
ready and the solution of the prob.
lem is easy. In Kentucky they have
good, macadam roads in every direc
. ton, giving easy and rapid oommu
nication all tho year; while we have
mud holes all along our public
roads, which not only make travel
slow and hard, but absolutely dan
gerous, and during at least six months
of the year land that, too, at time
when the people most need good
roads) our public highways are sim
ply impossible. Have we at orr
command any means at all COM
mensurate with the task of improv,
ing our roads. Most surely we have.
As at present managed, the convict
labor of the State is absolutely lost
to the State, and inures only to the
benefit of the lesees of our State
penitentiary, and convict labor is
brought into direct conflict with the
honest Woodworking mechanics.
Have the people all over the State
see to it that men are sent to our
Legislature and constitutional con-
vention who can and will find solu-
ton Of this question. Change our
present and cumbersome system of
county magistrates. Knox County
has to day ten times as many as there
is any need OF. Have the qualifications
for magistrate raised. Make in in
cumbent upon every magistrate be-
| fore inducted into Office to pass a
strict examination as to bis fitness,
and put our very best men into this,
the most important position OF the
county. Change our organic law
and make crimes less than capital
simply misdemeanors, punishable by
fine and Imprisonment, and give the
magistrates original and concurrent
jurisdiction in all misdemeanor
cases, with power to elnpannel
Jury of 5, Z, 9 or IL men, if the
party brought before them demands
a jury When a person tried for any
misdemeanor is adiudged guilty, let
the magistrate pass sentence, and,
instead of sending him to the peni-
Tertiary, put him into the custody of
your road master, and let him work
out the time on the public roads of
the county; and, after working cut
the time for which he is sentenced.
then let him pay back to the coun

THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

We have received the North
American Review for March, and
have read the leading article, by
Senator Edmunds, on "The Con-
duct of the Guiteau Trial. The
distinguished writer may be taken as
a fair representative of the best
Judgment Of the country, and his
opinions are entitled to the consid-
Grafton they are sure to receive.
The article dwells upon the want of
dignity at the trial, arising from the
nnseemly behavior of the prisoner,
and discusses the question, Why it
is that in this great trial, so much
that was other than orderly, dignifed
and solemn happened without being
prevented or punished by the pre-
siding judge" Our space is too
limited for even an outline of the
reasoning. The conclusion reached
is, that the prisoner could have been
restrained only at the peril of rights
guaranteed by the Constitution and
laws, and Of establishing a danger>
GUS precedent. From whatever
point OF view, then, we examine the
course of the late trial of Guiteau, the
difficulties both practical and theoret
ical in dealing with the prisoners
violence and unseemliness of speech
are seen to be great, and the more
we reflect upon the subject, the
less disposed we shall be to con
denim the failure or omission OF the
Judge presiding at the trial to cause
