Marsh T. Polk, the defaulting
State Treasurer, died suddenly of
heart disease, at Nashville, last
week; thus terminating, as far as he
is concerned, his case in this worlds

possess an over enviable financial
credit, but we showed a good deal of
energyin hunting up and prosecuting
the late Treasurer, which should
figure we'll against some Of our short
comings. While feeling, however,
naturally indignantat a hand unlaw-
fully taking from our own pockets,
we were not at all disconnected to
know that the outside State creditors
could indulge in similar feelings al
having our hands in their pockets

The Hon. A. J. McWhirter, State
Commissioner Of Agriculture, Immi-
grafton, ETC., says: Perhaps no State
in the Union is open to a wider
sphere of industrial skill than Ten
nessee. Her minerals are exhaust
less, her soil is rich and fertile and
versatile. The products of the North
and those of the South meet within
her borders. Her climate will meet
the wants of both Northerner and
Southerner. Her winters are rarely
rigorous and her summers ALWAYS
salubrious. With the exception,
perhaps, Of a small skirt of country
along the shores of the Mississippi,
the State of Tennessee is perhaps
the healthiest State in the Union.

The year 1884 will be remarkable
for the toushness Of the Presidential
contest. At one time, there was an
apparent unity among the Democrats
upon the tariff question, but now a
process of.,disintegration is working
towards anything but union. The
platform lagsin building-the planks
do not fit in we'll; and when the
leaders of a people hesitate, what
can there be but hesitation upon the
part of the people? While the Re
publicans pretty we'll know their own
minds about Free Trade; their OPP
ponents, made up Of more hetero-
genous materials, cannot find a policy
sufficiently adhesive toguarantee any
but faltering faith in victory. All
this, however, will not prevent the
most determined fight for the White
House.

is of all others adapted to sheep and

NEWS AND NOTES.

The Board of Aid has four rail-
road stations upon its lands, and
some ten miles Of railroad running
through It's estate, but Rugby, the
heart and soul of the whole concern,
is seven miles away from the line.
A railroad to the colony is a very
dark horse indeed, but it will come,
must come, one day. Neither a
business nor a residential town, nor
a health resort, nor a collegiate town,
nor NY civilized community, can
long1xlAk and progress without the
railroad. We must not forget that
we live at tie latter end Of the nine
