Line From Mississippi.

ClnclnnaL commercial.
Judge Chandler, a prominent. coun-
%sellor, and at present United States
District Attorney for the Northeastern
District Of Mississippi, is in the city,
and was met yesterday by a CONNER
cial reporter, who was in search of
railroad information. Judge Chandler
spoke at some length relative to the
progress being made 10 the develop
ment Of railroads in the South, and
thought the time was not ilr distant
when the Southern States would be
as well supplied with tracks of steel
as arc the States at the North. He
looks forward to see the State of
Mississippihave a complete network of
roads extending in all directions, and
placing that State in quick and direct
communication with the great cities
Of the North, East, South and West.
In the course Of bis brief interview
he stated that the people Of North
eastern Mississippi would soon be
placed in communication with water
transportation by the construction of
a road from Coriuth, the junction of
the Mobile and Ohio and Memphis
and Charleston roads, to Hamburg, on
the Tennessee river. There is no
doubt" said tho Judge, but the road
will soon be built, the money NECESSARY
for the construction already being sub.
scribed." The Judge spoke with con
idence in the belief that the road
would eventually be constructed as far
north as the capital Of Tennessee,
which would supply a long felt want
Tor the people Of Northern Mississippi.
II is also the intention, | believe"
said the Judge, ito extend the road
southwest from COrinth TO the Missis.

lido. The Improvement that has
been made in the South within the
past five years is something wonder
ful. Our people are now full Of en-
terprise, and everything is blossoming
with prosperity and progress. We
want more railroads with which to
carry on our business.
THE people are yearly c~ultivating

Attempt to Corrupt the Jury.

AVN ANAGlN
No sooner had the Star Route Jury
been empanelled than reports were
circulated that improper efforts to
pack it had been made. Since tie
beginning of the trial rumors have
been afOat hat attempts would be
made to approach its members cor
ruptly. These reports we're referred
to by Mr.. Ker In the opening address
Of the prosecution. The charges
which they implied we're denied with
much assumed indignation BY the
lawyers for the accused on trial, and
10 the last speech for the defense Mr..
Ingersoll denounced Mr.. Ker's refer
ence to this matter as an unwarranted
attempt to "terrorise" the jury.
The fact that the jury has been ap
preached for corrupt purposes is no
longer a matter Of rumOr, suspicion or
doubt. The extraordinary announce
ment made by Judge Wylie yesterday
touching this matter presented a scene
which is fortunately rare in our courts
of justice. His words we're to the
effect that several jurors had reported
to him some weeks ago hat efforts had
been maue to corrupt them, and in
formation Of similar attempts has Just
been communicated To him again.
Within the last twenty four hours
he said, sit seems that these wolves
which have been around this jury

The Avalanche Of the 8th inst, and
other issues not at hand, said that the
LEDGER claimed for Confederate
soldiers the exclusive privilege Of ad-
vising the people. The substance Of
this charge has been made more than
once. 1t is repeated to-day in a
form scarcely within the bounds Of
common courtesy or journalistic dis
cussion. The regular readers OF this
DE- per know that it has never set up
any such a claim, To do SO would be
utterly absurd. And further, nothing
that has appeared in the LEDGER at
any time would justify the strained
inference or conclusion that the Ava
lanche continues to thrust before the
public. The Avalanche is evidently
sore and mad, as well as reckless, and
is attempting TO divert attention from
its discontinue, suffered in
a debate Of its own seeking.
We neither intend to allow
ourselves nor Southern people to be
misrepresented 10 matters Of this sort.
What we did write in this discussion
was 50 clearly written that those who
read could not misunderstood. We
have no objection to tie retreat of the
Avalanche or to its sky blue career,
but We shall most assuredly object to
misconstruction or Misrepresentation.

The DEVILS Nose.
To the Knoxville Tribune.

AZ nv ANNANAAAN AANAaS
RoGERsvILLE, September 6.-This
grating name has been given by some
body, in the Olden time, to a huge pile
Of earth and stone lying about two
miles north from Rogersyille. 1t is
about two miles long, asd mounts its
apex high above any other mountain
in East Tennessee. The shape re-
sembles the nose upon a mans face,
thousands Of times magni6ed. 1t
points northeast, and can be seen from
nearly all the surrounding country,
Rather singular, however, the little
shire town Of its own county named
above, situated in the lower end Of
Carter valley, is out Of view. No
doubt this is SO from pure modesty.
From its northeast end nearly all East
Tennessee aud Western Virginia can
be- seen. Their farms, villages, towns,
roadage, ETC., make a grand feast to
the eye. "

Queer News from Georgin.
Chicago Tribune's Atlanta Special.

NnAoobV Aliouuo . Atlduld Special.
To night it is currently reported in
newspaper circles that Alexander 81.
Stephens. candidate Of the organized
Democracy for Governor, is feeling
quite blue, owing to the fact that his
candidacy creates no enthusiasm. Ru-
NOR has it that to-day a caucus was
held by some of the most prominent
Stephens men for the purpose Of con-
ferring with Stephens,w who was threat
ening to come down" If the State
Executive Committee did not settle
down to work aud assist him ia his
election. The same source gives il
out that the candidate says that the
State Executive Committee promised
to organize campaign committees and
put speakers on the stump to advocate
the election of the nominee. This
they have not done, and Mr.. Stephens
feels that it is useless, in his present
crippled condition, to think Of can
wasting the entire State. The
friends who appear to be most
interested in the support Of
Mr.. Stephens candidacy re-
quested the editor Of the Herald
to day to suppress certain letters that
will be made public by DR.. FELTON, to-
morrow in a speech at Riuggold. These
letters are from Stephens to FELTON,,
written recently, which, in effect,
conflict with certain statements OF
Stephens made in a recent speech, in
which he stated that he had nothing
to do with DR.. FELTON,, either by action
or letter. since December last. The
Herald has sent a correspondent to
Ringgold for the purpose of getting
copies of the letters for publication.
Appearances point to a chilly feeling
between Governor Colquitt and
Stephens, which is said to be caused
by a belief upon the part of Colquitt
that Stephens will oppose him for
Hills seat in the Senate, or at least
divide mis- influence among several
candidates now mentioned for that
position, as he did between the organ
lied and Independent Democrats pre-
vious to nomination. Indications at
present are hat Stephens will be
defeated by Gartrell, the independent
candidate for Governor, if a vigorous
campaign is not at once iuaugurated.

A Dark HoTse-A Convention
Story.

NAaH
A convention was held, we will not
say when and where--but IL was held
not many leagues away. 1t was a pro.
tracted struggle for a nomination to
which many were called aud few we're
chosen. The arduOus labors Of the
convention told heavily on the mem
beers. and many a time and Oft" spir-
tied refreshmeDt was sought not more
than four miles from the convention
hall. The orators we're especially dry.
The dark horses" that browse around
conventions carefully blanketed and
thoroughly jockeyed could be seer
here and there, snulhbg the battle
from afar, ready to start 10 the
race at the tap Of the drum. A
delegate might DO seen above
whom the skies are ever
blue, and about whom there is
q general atmosphere Of SKY blue, and
10 whom the political situation has
such a cerulean aspect that his mind
often Teverts 10 the four mile plank as
the plank upon which he. as q ship
wrecked sailor, must sail Ger a sea OF
troubles and by drinking end them.
AS we have said, this delegate might
be seen. He was an orator. A sky
blue, sky scraping orator. But, as we
have indicated, he appeared blue
about something, The thought was
in bis mind OF the day that might
come when the people would smash
the Russell craft and save nothing Of
the wreck bnt the four mile plank.
lie was thinking how inconvenient il
would be 10 have 10 walk four miles
after a drink. Upon the impulse Of
the moment he made a break for the
nearest saloon. He is subject to these
impulses and liable TO have one al
any time. A dark horse" espied him
and followed on. These dark
horses" Of conventions can talk.
They can do more tricks than
a circus horse, aud they
can understand. Sometimes they arc
very smart when trained by expert.
enced jockeys. This particular dark
horse" had been well trained. liz
could turn a somersault like a clown
and face both ways at the same time,
lie could dance to any music and
stand on any footing. He worea dual
character. When he was not a dark
horse" he was a brown mule. But
enough. Ho followed the sky blue
orator, and they walked 10 aud unani-
mously scratched the four mile plank
with a smile. 1t was agreed that the
sky blue should make a grand speech
at the very critical point Of time,
unblauket the dark stallion and trot
him into the ring The time came
and the eloquent iour-miler, with the
aroma Of the best bourbon fresh on
his breath, lowered above the cOnyen-
ton aud poured forth in burning
words the praises of-the wIoDg man.
The dark horse" slipped of the four
mile plank aud took a drink. and for
many days the atmosphere will DO sky
