A supreme Court Decision on Rate

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The United
States supreme court decided two cases
to-day, holding that the United States
interstate commerce commission has
no power to prescribe rates on rail-
roads which may control il the future.
The cases were those OF the commission
vs. the Cincinnati & New Orleans Rail-
road Co. and the Florida & Western
Co. The decision is construed to mean
that the interstate commerce commits

MEMPHIS, January 22.-Ths deposi.
ton of w. G. Burnett was taken at
Somerville yesterday touching the con.
duct of election affairs at the Eleventh
District box in Fayette County. Mr..
Burnet does not live in the Eleventh,
but went there to keep an eye on mat.
tiers. He did not reach there till noon.
Previous to that time Richard Boswell
had scored up forty four votes for Pat.
terson, and afterward Mr.. Burnett
scored fifty two for him, "a total Of ninety
six. Yet the official returns showed
only forty four votes for Patterson and
1875 for Carmack. Before the polls
closed the sound money men were
chased away from the box, and what
transpired thereafter nobody knows but
the free silverites.
No nor dispositions will be taken at
Yum Yum, as it has been positively
shown that instead Of Patterson re.
ceiving only ten votes he got not less
than 300. Dispositions will soon be
taken in Shelby County.

where Patterson was given A votes TO
1876 for Cartnack on the official returns.
Witnesses testified to having kept a
list OF 1O5 votes cast for the Republican
ticket and Col. Patterson. The names
of twelve men were given whose votes
had been rejected by the election Off
GERS because their poll taxes had been
paid for them by someone else, thus
acting on instruction sent out from
Memphis the day before the election.
No more dispositions will be taken until

Republican League Of Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA, 1896.
Dear Sir-The efficient work done by
League Clubs all over the country
during the recentcampaign, shows the
great value to the party Of a permanent
organization of this character.
Campaign committees, State and
County Chairmen, are constantly
changing. But the Republican League
being a permanent organization, has
perpetual existence, and furnishes a
fixed and permanent medium by means
of which the party organization is
held together from n campaign to
another and through which literature
may be circulated and the general
welfare of the party looked after. We
therefore hope that in every commu.
nifty in the State, Republican League
Clubs will be organized and hold regu-
lar meetings; that every County will
form a County League, so that, at the
Convention of the State League 10
1897, the largest body Of League men
may assemble that has ever been
brought togetheii in this State.
All Republicans who feel interested
in the party's welfare are urged to cor.
respond with J's. G. Jacobus, Sec'y.
Nashville, Tenn. and receive informa.
ton as to the method of getting the
League work started.
In committees where campaign clubs
were organized dlring the recent con-
test, we urge you to pe%rpetuate your
organization by becoming members Of
the League.
With congratulations to the party
upon u recent National success, we
are, Yours truly.

AFTER all there are two sides to this

SOME "REMINISCENCES.

From a bound volume of the Wash.
ington County Democrat, published
here in Jonesboro away back in 1851
and 1862. n Of our local editors will
prepare extracts for this paper each
week for a time, showing what was
going on here in Jonesboro As years
ago, beginning with January 1862.
The Democrat" was live, spicy
paper and was edited by A. G. Graham,
who came from Pennsylvania. He
and Blaine, it seems lived in the same
town, and in March 1889, while in
Washington, Blaine asked us about
Graham, what had ever become of
him, etc.
But back in 1859 Willard Fillmore
was President of the United States,
Andy johnson was our Congressman
and Wm. B. Campbell was Governor
of Tennessee. The Legislature met
then on the first Monday in October
every odd year and remain in session
some five or six months. At the Au-
gust election in 1851 the Wings had
elected their candidate for Governor
and also a majority in the Legislature.
The State Senator from this district
was the late Chief Justice James w.
Deaderick, then a Wing; Col. Geo. W.
Telford, also a Wing and citizen of
this county, was the Floater from
Greene, Hawkins and Washington; but
the county Of Washington was repre-.
sented by our own Brookins Campbell,
q staunch Democrat.
About the time Of which we write
the Legislature was wrestling" with
the great problem of "gerrymandering"
the State, which Editor Graham in.
sisted was being done in the interest of
the Wing party and against which he
uttered a most vigorous protest in nc
uncertain sound.
The county officers of that time were
John Ryland, Democrat, Sheriff; Henry
Hoss, Wing, Circuit Court Clerk; VIM.
II. Smith, Democrat, County Court
Clerk; Philip Park, Wing. Register
Jas. A. Dillworth, Wing, Trustee; John
F. Deaderick, Wing, Clerk and Master.
But things were not to 20 on always
in the even tenor Of their way. The
dirty" doings of the nasty" Wings
at Nashville it seems had aroused the
vengeful ire of Brother Graham to
such an extent that he had blood in
his eye and a z up his sleeve for
the poor Wing officials in this county,
and he was therefore pouring forth
a most pathetic wall through the col.
umns of his paper, urging the "unterri.
fed to rally to the rescue and turn
out the Wings and put in Democrats.
Another chapter in in next weeks
paper will give some more interesting
items from the Democrat.

LET 1T COME.

NfhA
If what the Republicans and Demo.
Gratis charge against each other be true
in whole or in part, if what ex Gov
ernor Taylor alleges against East Ten
nessee and particularly against Carter,
his native county, be true in whole or
in part, then the last November cleo.
ton was very foul. Fraud was almost
universal, and violations of law pre-
vailed from D end of the State to the
other. Considering the gravity of these
charges and counter charges, if they
are passed over as the common and
natural effervescence of partisan poll.
tics, that election becomes a monu-
mental shame, a blot on our civiliza.
ton that can not be wiped out, and
crushing evidence of our moral and
political degradation. To defeat each
other political parties can not resort to
Wholesale sacrifice of decency, honor
and honesty without bringing dis.
credit and reproach upon the whole
community. And when the people
tolerate or submit without protest to
such defiant and high handed villainy,
they are justly regarded as the abettors
and condoners of crimes against the
most sacred and valuable franchise of
Tree citizenship; and good people of
Gil sections and all parties withdraw
from them their confidence, respect
and association.
The contest two years ago with all
its shames and disgraces, and its repe-
tition now in a tenfold worse form, is
an advertisement of our rottenness as
a State and our culpability as a people,
the resulting injuries of which the
Centennial Fair-no matter how sue.
cessful and the exhibit of our
no matter how complete and attract.
ive-can not overcome. Nay, they
will rather intensity the popular dis.
gust and scorn for a people who could
be free, great, self respecting and self
governing, but instead allow them.
selves to be dishonored, robbed and
overridden by a cormorsnt horde of
political outlaws and thieves.
Now, is it not the earnest desire of
every good and true citizen that these
alleged crimes against a pure and free
ballot to be thoroughly exposed, and,
II proved, be punished with the utmost
seventies of the law? If this be the
first advance in al organized move
ment to redeem the State from the
blighting curse of a despotic ring and
to lift it out of the mire and slime of
its pollutions, then there will lie a rich
and glorious consummation for all the
time and money spent.
1t is an imperishable fact that old
Pete Turney, a notorious conglomerate
of vampire, venom, vanity and We.
nality is, withal, the basest counter
felt and fraud that his title to the Gov
ernorship vas conferred by q rioting
junta of conscienceless marplots who
planned and consummated the subver.
sion of popular liberty in Tennessee
and not by the people, and his seating
was the climax of a congerie of the
most audacious crimes. Now, upon
the heels of this infany that will stick
closer than the shirt of Nessus, no
man, and especially the lionized favor
lite of regnant Jacobins, should be in.
stalled in the Governorship until his
right thereto is clearly established by
an honest, thorough, non.prtisan in.
