THE MEMPHIS ROAD
To New Orleans and Vicksburg-What
the People Of Washington
County, Miss,
Propose to Do in the Way of SubseriP-
tiOn-They are WaitiDx Mr..
Wilson's Offer.


From an Appeal Correspondent
Greenwich, MISS, October 27.-An i'm
portant meeting was held here last Tuesdsy
TO consider the advisability of submitting 10
the people of Washington county Mr.. Will
sons proposition as 10 the Memphis and
Vicksburg railroad. The meeting was
largely attended, and much interest WAS
manifested. An organization was effected
by the election of MIR. w. A. Pollock presi-
dent, and Judge w. Il. Trigg secretary, alter
which Mr.. W. G. Yerger, being called upon,
addressed the meeting at some length, stating
why he went to New York and the results OF
his interview with Mr.. Wilson, president oil
the Memphis and Vicksburg railroad, while
there.
The following resolution was then offered /,
and after some discussion, was adopted by a
large majority:
We the citizens of Washington county, in con-
vention assembled at Greenville. October - 1857
sure way of developing said county and exolbit-
fuTtherance of the building of the Memphis and
Vicksburg railroad, hereby agree to support at
the polls subscription OF $4,000 in the bonds OF
the county of Washington, having thirty years TO
run end bearing six per cent. interest, PROVIDED
said railroad is constructed so to leave Deer
creek at or below the north boundary of Sharkey
county. running thence to Greenville by way OF
ske va ond Rsiesnake BAYOU and thence in
northeAsterly direction to Deer creek at or near
the Bolivar county line.
Col. Paxton presented the following pro-
test, sigued by 112 taxpayers OF Washington
county:
The undersigned taxpayers on the line OF Deer
creek have been invited to meet with other citi
zens OF the town OF Greenvile on the 18th instant
and confer the subject OF proposition TO issue
| to the Vicksburg and Memphis Railroad Company
$50 coo of county bonds as bonus to induce said
| company to divert their proposed road from the
| line of Deer creek to a line by the way OF Lake
Washington, Greenville, etc. They regard the pro-
ceding intended TO make them pay for their own
despoliaton and do most earnestly protest against
| any further steps in that direction.
Col. Paxton followed with long argu-
ment in favor of the protest, in which be
drew comparison of the competing lines
| from what he called a railroad point oil
view, compared the probable profits on the
two routes quoted from the code in support
of his argument, and closed with motion
thatsihe protest be spread upon the minutes
of the convention, which motion was reject
ed. and the meeting adjourned.
From the foregoing it will be seen that
there is now nothing further 10 do except TO
| wait and see whether Mr.. Wilson will make
formal proposition or not. His decision
will probably rest upon carefut survey OF
the two routes, taking into consideration the
route now proposed, aud some other minor
matters. You will be kept fully posted OF
any further developments.

AYERS AGUE CURE.

Only used in AYERS AGUE CURE, has
proven itself a never falling and rapid
cure for every form of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
its effects are permanent. 1t rouses
the system to a condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood OF malarial
poison, and imparts feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to malarious,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound is that it
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had
never had the disease.
The direct action of AYERS AGUE
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes it a superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medi-
eines have failed.

The following is the text OF the manifesto
which Victor Hugo has had published In
some of the French newspapers: Ihey are
irving Arab. What is Arabl? Is he y
rebel? Yes, says the Khedive loudly. No,
softly whispers the Sultan. Is he iloer-
ator? A liberator OF whomE line tgypi,
ian people shall be, and shall be great Ill
the twentieth century. AT this time 1t has
not come into being. Is he a belilgerenl!
That implies war Now at this moment war
does not exist. There are military facts as
TO which England will have 10 give explana-
lion: but as 10 war, there IL none. Englahd
is not at war with Egypt; England is not
at war with Turkey. What, then, Ii Arapl
He is prisoner. We, the passers-by, the
unknown, The first-comers, we exist, we live,
| and the government labors close 10 US.
What they do they conceal from US; we do
not know il; perhaps they do not know 1t
themselves. But we see what they do not
see: we see before Us in the depths OF the
| horizon what the future is doing; we behold
Islamism crumbling away in the East, Cath
olicism colapsing in the West, africa
awakening to civilization. All that is be-
| fore us: governments may conceal from us
what ,hey do; we see what civilization
| ia doing; we are content. The penalty
| of death has summarized and repre-
| seuted the old criminal Justice OF the past.
| It has been the angel of olden legislations To-
day it is Judged and condemned. Within the
last fifty years twenty-seven States have re-
moved it fran the statutc book. tue gov
ernments that retained it-France, alas-re-
| sort to it az little as they can. They are
afraid and ashamed of it. There is not a
single enlightened juryman who consents TO
sign a verdict entaIling the penalty OF death.
Il is no longer an angel, it is a specter. Here
The people stop us and say the penalty OF
death is more powerful than ever. The Two
worlds adopt it. So little is it dead that it
kills. Arab isgoipg to be shot. The Language
surprises, but does not disqulet US. No, CIV
| iIizatien is not barbarism; no, savagery Is
not modern Justice; no, civilization does not
kill man as old societies did, without ex-
actly knowing why; no, civilization does not
commence the great work of which The TWEEN

But Attorney. General Turner has been sim

he made his eloquent speech IN the state

mercenary knaves will sell out, but most
OF the honest colored voters who cast
1000 independent ballots at the last August
election will remain true TO themselves ara
their principles. Thieves often quarrel ana
fight over a division Of the "swag," and the
Republicans will no doubt quarrel over the
distribution Of HubbeIPs money stolen from
impecunious women in The employ oil Inc
government. Those who have been true 10
the party will demand their share oil the
plumber as a reward for their fidelity. II
they should be ignored upon the GROUND thSt
they are already for the ticket and that the
money should be placed where it will do the
most good-for the purchase OF renegades-
then lreacbery will command premium as
only traitors make money by their votes
The American people are sternly setting
their faces against the party which controls
elections by the use of money. The greatest
danger 70 popular institutions is the free use
Of vast Gums Of money to carry
elections. II this thing continues, the
day is not far distant when men
will be nominated for Office not on
account of their qualifications and merit,
but solely on account Of their ability to pur-
chase votes on the day of the election. In
this republic the people are the government
They rule by the ballot-bo1. If the ballot
box be corrupt the government will be cor
rupt. Figs cannot be gathered from thistlts,
and pure streams never run from corrupt
fountains. The simple announcement that
a part Of HubbelPs corruption fund has
been sent TO Shelby county is sufficient 10
arouse the Indignation of every honest voter.
This is question higher than politics, lor
it involves the destiny of the republic. 1t
Is a question as TO whether our State and con-
gressional representatives are to be selected by
the honest free will of the people or through
the corrupt use of money. Such an issue
should cause every good citizen to aid IN
putting the seal OF condemnation against
the methods and practices which endanger
popular government and threaten the
subversion OF popular liberty. Citizens
of Shelby, OF the Tenth Congressional
District arouse yourselves 10 defeat the party
which proposes 10 stiae the voice OF the Peo-
pie by bribing and corrupting the voter
The people everywhere, without regard to
political prejudices, are denouncipg Hub
BELLS corruption fund, and now that it has
made its appearance in our midst, every law
abiding citizen should resolve that ON the
day of election he will, at whatever inconve'
nience to himself, cast his vote for the DEM
ocratic ticket. Gen. Turner has been ad
dressing the people of Middle Tennesse'
during the past week, and they have re
sponded to him with warm, generous anC
enthusiastic welcome at every step OF hi
triumphaI march, and they will RESPOND
again still more cordially BY their votes OF

streets of Memphis for thepast two days that
5000 OF Huhbell's corruption fund has been
received by leading Radical, with the
promise of $1,000 more, if necessary, to carry

no doubt true, as this is regarded as one of
the doubtful congressional districts, and
