A Journey to Montgomery.

A Journey to Montgomery.
Men of middle age will vividly
recall the memorable journey of jeff
erson Davis from his home IN Miss
issippn to Montgomery, Ala. in 1861
1t was twenty-five years ago, but it
seems like a vision of Yesterday.
The distinguished M,sslssippian had
been chosen president of the confed-
crate states, and as Montgomery had
been made the capital of the new
government in honor of the man, Mr.
Yancy, who did more than any ten
men to "precipltate the cotton states
IN revolution" Mr.. Davis went to
the Alabama capital to assume the
strange, new position-a position he
was to hold through scenes OF blood
and fire he then little dreamed of,
to an end the very opposite of that
which he pictured in his speeches on
his way. The south was flame of
fire then, and it was natural, per-
haps, that the president of the con-
federate states should interpret the
splendor of the passion round him
as the promise OF brilliant success
in the possible war that might come.
There was only one distinguisbe d
man IN the south-Alex Stephens,
of Georgia-who had dismal misglv-
ings of The outcome of that days
work, and his weak voice, reluctant
ly listened to, was drowned IN tu.
multi and clangor of preparation.
1t is all over now. A quarter of a
century has passed and gone into
history, Books and books dealing
in that eventful period have beer
written and they may be found il
our libraries. One was written b.
the first and only president OF the
confederate states himself, and an
other by the vice-president. But th'
straneest AM most pathetic fact in
historical aspect is that Mr.. jefferson
Davis is about to make another Jour
u ney from his home in Mississippi t
Montgomery over the same route
perhaps, which he travelled in 1861
to perform a different duty from tina
which he performed twenty-five We al
ago. He goes to the Alabama cap
ital to deliver an Grafton at the in

TARIFF RFnUCTION.

1t isalmost an every day occur
ance for gentlemen representing
particular manufacturing interest
20 appear before the Congressional
committee on ways and means, and
urge as a reason why the tariff should
not be reduced, that their particu-
lar business could not be conducted
with lower duty. In other words,
they say that If any portion of the
bounty which they have been re-
ceivIng at the hands of the general
Government is withdrawn, some
one else engaged in the same bust
ness will be enabled to bring goods
into the United States and sell them
cheaper than they can, and as a
consequence, they will be forced to
retire from business. They should
be plainly told by Congress that
they had better give up a business
which is not self>sustaiRIng and try
some other business which is more
profitable, and which can be carried
on without levying an enormous tax
upon fifty millions Of people for
their benefit. When a manufactur~
er asks for the levylng of an import
tax upon foreign goods, TO enable
him to sell his own goods ct an adj
vanced price, he virtually admits
I that his business Is not self-sustain-
| ing, and others can manufacture and
sell the line Of goods, in the manu-
tacture ofwhich he is engaged, at q
less price than he can, The consul
mers Of manufactured articles are in,
terested in getting them as cheeplY
as possible, and they out number the
manufactures as ten to one. 1t is
time Congress was regarding the
interests of the great bulk of the
| American people, even at the eX-
pence of the business interests.
| Every dollar which can possibly be
used fer that purpose sheHld be ap,
piled to the extinguishment of the
public debt, so as to remove the pre-
text for keeping up a high tariff, and
the people allowed to buy their goods
where they can get them the cheap
est. We believe that the claim
made that many manufacturer
wSuld be compelled to quit busine
if the duty was lowered, is false
and that it would only result in cut
ting of a portion Of their profits, bur
if it Is true, let them quit that anG
engage in some more Dorftabl,
business. The few have no right tt
demand that the many be taxed foI
their benefit, and if demanded, the
representative Of the people who
grants the request iS a traitor to hi'
constituents

One effect of the rupture between
the Senate and the President may
be expected; it is almost certain to
expedite removals. There are thou
sands Of Republicans yet in Sfice. who
as Democrats would not have renal
ed there three months under q Re-
publican administration. The Presi:
dent adapted a slow, but as he
thought safe buisaess-like policy at
the sturt, But this is not enough to
please Republican Senate. While
the Democrats complain with good
show of reason that the administrati-
on has been TO lenient the Senators
demand of the President that he
deliYar up all private correspondence
and show cause IN all cases Of re
movals, some 100 in humble where
the terms had not expired. There is
no doubt but that offensive partisan
ship, that is to say super serviceable
zeal, could be shown in svrey in
stance. 1t Is absurd to think OF
winning a great National victory and
then allowing all the good, clever
fellows on the other side to hold on
until the end Of the term. The
President will probaIY show what
be can do by making wholesale re
movals in the next few week and
many an ofhceholder as he steps
down ard hands the keys to a Dem
ocrAt, will wish that EdmuBs and
his crowd were in Halifax or soma
other cool place. The Senate may
refuse to confirm the new appoint
ments, but this will not put the old
officials back in their places. 1t is
a very pretty fight as it stands.

The Nashville Banner seems to
think that newspaper men should
not be held esponsible for defam-
ing individuals, if they happen to be
public officials. The fact that a man
has control Of newspaper should
not entitle him to privileges which
each Individual citizen is not permit
ted to exercise, and the fact that an
individual is q public official should
not subject him to indlgnities from
which other citizens are protected
by law. Every citizen should be
permitted to show the corruption Of
public officials, but when a serious
charge is preferred against public
official, the party bringing the charge
should be prompted by a desire to
promote the u)iic welfare, and not
from malice or revenge, and he
should also be certain that the
charge can be sustained by the testi-
msny OF competent Witnesses,

COUNTY BRIDGE NATTER.

a most intelligent and earnest
committee appointed by the County
Court of Gibson County, Tennessee,
paid our county a visit a few days
since on an erran6 Of investigation
as to the propriety Of pnbstituting
permanent iron bridges for the tenn
perary wooden structures over the
many streams with which Gibson
county, like Hardeman, is blessed
or afflicted, according to the view
of the reader.
The cost of building and repairing
bridges absorbs much the larger
part of county taxes and it seems
that Gibson county through its
county court has found out the
enormous and continuing expense eff
the temporary system of wooden
bridges and determined to have per-
manent bridges as fast as the county
revenue would allow. In tnvestiga-
ting the matter the Gibson county
court, hearing of Hardeman Coun-
tvs move in that direction, sent its
committee here to inquire and eel
lect material for their report:
Al of our Tennessee County
! Courts should makea forward move
ment in this direction. In all the
prosperous states north Of us this
problem has been settled lsng age.
4 permanent iron bridge baiIt on
strong brick piers with proper foun-
dations is a fixture for 100 years en-
| ~ requiring a few dollars expense
every 3 or 4 years to repaint it-and
screw it up where it may need now
and then by a few hours work from
one mechanic.
On the ether hand an investigation
of our wooden bridge system through
the county court minutes will show
the average duration of our wooden
bridges taken in the mass is less
thanthree years and their cost and ex
| penses for repairs in the aggregate is
enormous.
| OF course here and there a bridge
may last 10 years or more, but we
= speak as to average duration in the
aggregate of all the bridges. Many
J new bridges are swept away IN the
very season they are put up.
| Economy for the people and sounC
common sense teaches that all oul
counties should year by year replace
the wooden structures with iror
, bridges gradually as funds may jus,
tify and occasion demand. IF THU
: policy be judiclously followed for {
or8 years 1t will tend to relieve u.
of q large portion of our presen
annaul taxes.
The county tax bears equally OF
all the districts Of the county One
district may have 20 bridges anC
another district may need none
, Yet the tax comes on all alike
! Hence all alike are interested il
having such bridges as will prevent
q constantly recurring expense fol
renewal.
| Hardeman leads the van on this
question Of permanent bridges anC
we hope she will continue to de SO
It's economy is apparent.

The Wheat Crop

Chicago, March, 13.-The Times
this morning prints several columns
of reports on the conditions of the
winter wheat crop covering the entire
belt from Ohio to the Pacific Slope.
These reports are summarized as
follows: One.third of the
crop was sown late owing
to the fear of Hessian fly.
This proportion OF the crop has suf-
fered more or less from winter
killing during the last thirty days.
The acreage Of 1886 is from 8 to 10
per cent. below the acreage of
1885. This reduction was caused
by the scarcity and high price Of
goods seed whsat at seeding time.
and also the generally discouraging
outlook for the wheat grower. Thi
States of Iilinsis, Kansas and Mis-
soura show largest decreases; the
acreage Of India, Ohio AMI Mich
igan is practically the same as the
acreage OF the preceding year; the
acreage in Kentucky and Tennessee
show a reduction Of about 8 per coI
The wheat which has been protec
ted during the whole winter by snow
is confined only to limited areas in
different States and at no tia1e since
the winter wheat crop was sown in
1885 has the winter wheat belt as
a whole been protected for q
period of time over twenty days.
On the whole, the weather for
February was trying upon the
wheat crop and the months of March !
up to this date, has shown little if |
any improvements, north of the
Ohio River the winter wheat has |
made scarcely any growth as yet |
and the crop is backward. As a !
class farmers are inclined to hold !
the reserves Of wheat only where |
crop prospect are not encouraging |
The 1885 crop has been pretty well |
cleaned up but there seems still to
be considerable of the 1884 wheat |
On hand.
The conclusions arrived at are sub
'tantia'ly these: The prospect are
fair or an average crop;with favor
able weather during the next thirty
laws. but no indications Of a
'ull or excessive crop. The most
encourlng outlook for wheat comes
from the Pacific Slope
