From the Holly Springs South,
We hail with delight the good rail
road news received from our enter
prising towsman, Mr.. w. E. Futrell,
who returned from Oxford last Tues
day where he has been attending Fed
eral Court. He informs us that the
various interests in the Memphih,
Selma & Brunswick Railroad were
represented by their attorneys who
agreed to take decree of sale OF the
road with all it's franchises; the mini
mum price agreed to being s25O,O00
cash, the sale to take place about the
first of August next. The money
arising from the sale shall be placed
in the hands of a commissioner, ap-
pointed by the CORTLAND subject only
to the orders of the court. The re-
suit of this decree will clear all the
clouds from the title, and the
purchaser will be vested with clear
right and title beyond doubt, and in
the case of further pending litigation
it will be over the money, and not
the road. BY such a course of action
the purchasers can Immediately after
the sale commence the construction
of the road to Memphis, and by the
latter part of fall, Or early in the win
ter, we feel confident of hearing the
welcome sound of the iron horse
in our midst. That such may be the
case, is our earnest prayer, while we
have every reason to be hopeful OF
this favorable examinations of long,
eventfnl and to us strange cause Of
Observation-Disclosures journal.
We have the same information since
our last issue, obtained from one OF
the attornies representing one of the
largest interests. The difficulty seems
heretofore to have been to prostate
the profit and loss account between
them. But now that the purchaser
can get a good title, we think the
road will certainly find purchaser
at least, at the low minimum price
which has been fixed. The purchaser
will then certainly go on at once tc
build. We congratulate all concerned
and interested on the consumation O
this agreement and settlement which
removes all obstacles out of the way
If the Kansas City buys, the road vii
run on to the sea, bringing us cheap

"A correspondent of the Houston,

en- under the head of "Chickasaw
at the New Orleans Exposition"
writes a poserful appeal to the citi-
zens Of our nsghbor' county to- be
represented at the crest Worlds
Fair that will open on the LIST o.
next December. He says among
other things:
"Self-pride, our county pride; our
State pride, and desire for the hap
piness of our people should prompt
US to make an exhibit for our county.
Chickasaw county should not only
make an exhibit at the New Orleans
Exposition, but should make one Of
the very best. Why should she not
be among the foremost? She is a
county rich in rolls, rich in her pro-
ducts, rich in her forest timbers, rich
in her fgpits, rich in her variety of
soil, which are we'll adapted to the
growing Of all the grasses and
olovers, fruits and vegetables, and
all the different grains. Yes, she

everything that any other section can,

The Illinois court has decided that
the common law does not forbid dis
elimination in freight rates, but only
unjust discrimination. An Illinois
railroad had carried freight from
Bellvllle to East St. Louis at So per
car load, distance Of fourteen miles,
and from New Athens to the same
point at sl7,58 per car load, a dis
lance Of seventeen miles. The New
Athens shippers, on this discrimina-
ton, prosecuted the railroad com
pany, which made the defence that
Bellville was an important point, fur
nshing large return freight, while
New Athens did not possess these
advantages. The court decided that
the defense was good, and that the
discrimination was reasonable

In Contrast With Grant.


New York Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 30,-Gsn. Lee,
at the close of the war, received in
Vulnerable offers to engage in COM
mercial enterprises. Insurance cons
panies. railroads, and many large
corporations at the South were anx,
ious to pay him any salary he might
demand solely for the use OF his
name, without any labor on his part,
or the mourning of any sibihty
whatever. A committee Of English
men, with the Duke OF Switzerland
and Mr.. Beresford Hope at the head,
offered him in fee splendid estate
in one of the midland counties OF
England, coupled with guarantee
of an income of $4,000 year as
long as he lived. He gratefully de,
clined all Of these offers, and accept
ed the Presidency of Washington
and Lee University at salary OF
$4,000 year. Here he earned his
living as the hardest worker in hard
working faculty in training the youth
of the country up to the very hour
of the paralytc stroke which imme,
diately preceded his death.
Gen. Lee left three sons. They,
too, received many offers of a similar
kind, and likewise declined them
Two of these sons are now prosper
GUS planters in Virginia. The third
succeeded his father in the Presiden
cy of Washington and Lee Univer'
sity, and has filled the position with
credit for the last thirteen years.
The true American spirit shines in
Gen. Lees example, the spirit which
prompted Washington and his gen.
erals when they retired from the
public service enriched only with the
recollection of their great achieve
ments, and scorning to make mer'

An OPEN LETTER.


learn from rumor that reports are
being circulated throughout your
county which are calculated to do me
great injustice. These reports refer
to your Federal Court and your river.
l wish to state and to put the state
ment on record, that if | am elected
to Congress l shall make it my es-
pecial labor and duty to obtain an
appropriation which will make the
Tombigbee River navigable from
Fulton to the Gulf, with equal privi-
leges to all who live on its banks;
and will also endeavor to have the
Buttahatchie so cleaned out and i'm
proved that hat-boats and RATS may
make available the Timber interests
which would so much enhance the
value of its lands, bottoms and up
lands.
So far as regards the Federal Court
pledge myself to maintain its loca-
ton at Aberdeen and to resist any
and all efforts to change it to any
other locality in the State, mot even
excepting the town of Columbush and
to see to it that an appropriation be
granted by Congress to build a Court
House and Post Office suitable to the
wealth, intelligence and promise of
your growing city and prosperous
county, and l would be as proud of
such an accomplishment as if the eff
fort had been made in behalf of my
own county and city,
l had hoped to see the people of
Monroe and make myself personally
known to its sufragans, but the lin
tied time given me by the Executive
Committee in calling a Mass Conven-
ton on next Friday, debars me OF
this privilege. I hope, however, to
meet the people on Friday and ex-
plain to them my position on the
questions of the day.
I am and have always been Dem.
ocrat Of the strictest sect, and always
abide the action Of the party, for
value party success as more impor-
tant than personal aspiration, and

ever the people may demand. l pro-

AS to this let the people judge.
As to my personal claims l refe'
the people to the action of my owl

who with great unanimity have en-
dorsed my candidacy and sent mt
