At Work.

Messrs. Carroll & Co. commenced ac-
tive operations. for the Eaton Gas Com
pany on Saturday afternoon last, and are
slowly but surely driving the work down
wards. At the present writing (Tues-
day. the workmen have reached a depth
of owe fifty feet, without encountering
anything beyond the usual experience
in boring wells. Four persons do the
drilling-D. w: Bennett, Thos. Dorsey,
L. Luce and F. 7. Joynt, and work day
and night, taking turns of two off and
two on. They are quiet and well behav-
ed gentlemen, and seem to thoroughly
understand their business, having had
considerable experience in it. They say
the rock they have struck here is the
toughest they ever operated against
When the drill has penetrated the bow
els of the earth hundreds of feet, we ex-
pect to have a "gassy" or oily matter to
say something. about.
In connection with this notice we would
caution all those visiting the place where
the drilling is in operations; to keep as
far away from the machinery as possible.
Don't crowd the workmen. There is
danger all the time of ropes breaking,
and the workmen will not be responsible
for accidents.

FRANKLIN, Tenn, April 20, 1886.
Editor of the Eaton Democrat:
Thinking that a few sketches from the South
might be of interest to some of your readers,
l will try to pen you a few lines.
This is a beautiful country, mostly level,
with here and there a peak running up like a
volcano, that makes it look very picturesque,
as it is a beautiful sight to look from and view
the fine farms and the beautiful old planta-
ton scenery around. The land is very rich
and productive; it is mostly red limestone
land. This is a great wheat growing section.
This county (Williamson) is said to be the
banner wheat growing county of the State,
and the present crop bids fair to surpass any
they have had for years. 1t is now from
eighteen inches to two feet high: corn is near
ly all planted, and some of it large enough to
pillow. The gardens look fine. Cotton is near
ly one-half planted. They do not raise as
much cotton here as they formerly did, be-
cause they find it more profitable to cultivate
wheat and corn, since they have begun to use
the newly improved machinery.
In my opinion there is a good opening here
for a man with means to make money fast, as
the lands are much cheaper than they are in
Preble county. The people here take the
world easy and enjoy life; most of them spend
ing their time at fine watering places, fishing,
hunting, &c., because they have the negroes
to do their work and can hire them for less
than they can afford to do it themselves. The
people here are very kind and hospitable, and
endeavor to make one feel at home. l am
highly pleased with the society and many
kindnesses shown me since Ihave been in this
country.
Yours Respectfully,
"

A Card.

I desire to state that the conversation
between Mr.. Nation and myself, referred
to in last weeks Register, was this: L
told Mr.. Nation that [ was interested in
the election of no one except Mr.. Ed
son; that MIR. Edison and myself had
been warm personal friends for years,
and l considered myself under obliga-
tions, as well as a pleasure, to do all l
could for him. L had no political trick
cry in my mind at the time, but simply
said what l did on account of the friend
ship existing between myself and Mr..
Edison, as above referred to. The on
versation "a a private one between us.

it before the public.

The Legislature to be- chosen in Con-
necticut this fall will name the successor
of the Hon. Joseph X. Hawloy as Il SEN
ator in Congress, and the Legislature to
be chosen i'm New York will elect a Sen
to succeed DIR. Warner Miller; and the
Democrats will do their best TO win
these seats in the Senate from the Re
publicans. Under IA proper apportion-
ment there is no doubt Democrats would
succeed, but they are cheated of their
rights by the Republicans. In this State
successive Republican Legislatures, by
refusing to obey plain command of the
Constitution of the State, have shown
the settled purpose of the Republican
party to refuse to the Democrats the rep
resentation to which their numbers en-
title them, and in Connecticut, also, the
maintenance of the old rotten borough
system, by which the BoZrahs and the
North Canaans are favored at the ex-
pense of the New Havens and the Bridge
ports robS the Democrats of their proper
chances of Secting United States SEN
ator.
In 1891 the Connecticut Democrats
cast ,216 more votes for Governor than

We're to the point, full of enthusiasm,

derstanding as To- the time the speaking
would take place. Vt was first given out
that the meeting would be at night and
afterwards changed To IA day meeting.
This of course caused many To fail to be

Brady Threatening to Peach.

Our highly respected contemporary
the Times, which had the grace some
two years since to repent of its sins and
join decent company, takes occasion to
sneer at the statement that Gen. Brady
of star route fame is going back on his
pals, and that he proposes to give the
world a true and unvarnished account
of Republican rascality. 1t dismisses
the matter very loftily with the pre-
diction that if he has enough money to
get the book published lit will ruin him
completely il he hires any considerable
number of persons TO read the book. :"
To any who has read the recent issues of
the Times and knows the good service
it has done in exposing the corruption
of the Republican party, il seems at first
queer that it should thus malign n zeal
GUS ally. The explanation is that Brady,
IN his cry of pe1cdTi, is obliged to inn
plicate many others, and among them
probably our able contemporary, which
was one of the fiercest defenders of the
electoral frauds of 1876. 1t certainly is
not pleasant to have damnable sins of
the past thrown in ones face even when
seated on the stool of repentance.
Probably no one knew more of the
''true inwardness" of the infamous
frauds of 1876 which gave Hayes the
Presidency than Brady except the two

until the Democrats obtained the as
cendancy in the national councils,
when, at the earliest possible moment,
laws were passed restoring many of the
unearned land grants to the public do
main. In some instances the railroad
companies had gone so far as to sell the
government lands to settlers and others,
although they clearly had no right to do
so. In consequence of this, many people
will lose their land, but they may, of
course, have recourse on the sellers, who
are presumed to have given guarantee
deeds, or at least the bonds for titles,
where the lands were not fully paid for
in cash.
The Democratic House has faithfully
and peristently pressed these land grant
forfeiture bills, and made the claims of
the government and the equity of the
cases so clear and indisputahle that in
most instances the Republican Senate
was forced, though reluctantly, to yield
its assent, as was also tlfe last Republi-
can President.
eighth Congress, laws have been passed
forfei.ing and restoring to the public
domain 30, 4S2 240 acres of land previ-
ously granted to railrOa companies and
to States for railroad purposes in some
few cases. All the acts providing for
the forfeitures of these lands provide
expressly that they shall lie restored to
the public domain, and shall be held for
the benefit of actual settlers only under
the homestead law. The territory EN-
braced by these forfeitures is rs, S78
square miles-half as large again as the
State of Georgia. In addition to this,
the Democratic House of Representa-
tives at the last session passed bills for
feiting 3,S43. 09i acres, which the Senate
has not yet concurred in. There are
also on the calendar of the House, with
favorable reports from committees, bills
FORGETTING l3,0s7.2I4 acres more, which
will doubtless he passed ao the next SEES
sion. The area covered ty all those bills
is l59, 40S square miles, and most of it is
said to be good land
These lands, if in one body, would be
sufficient to constitute several States, and
would furnish homes to more than a
million people. They belong to the peo-
pie, and shonld be opened for pre-emp-
ton and settlement, or purchase under
the national land laws.
