ALXSLJE. KEATWQ CO. liiilfffilS AFFBAL ritlllAY MOKXIXQ, MARCH 19, 18G9 Ii.VILUU.VI ASSOCIATION" IN BVH! coc.vry. A "Citizens Bailroad Association" haa been formed in Dyer county for the purpose of taking up private subscriptions, and, by a united and persevering eilort, obtaining a county subscription to the Mississippi River Railroad. Capt.

S. R. Latta, one of the ablest lawyers and meat earnest and influential citizens of Dyer county, has been chosen Corresponding Secretary of the Association, and instructed to advise Mr. Mitchell, President of Mississippi River Railroad, of their desire to advise and co-operate with him. Capt.

Latta, in his letter to Mr. Mitchell, communicating the foregoing facta, ssya Allow ma to congratulate you personally upon your euc-ceaa thus far in your enterprise, and bid you God speed In your efforts upon delinquent Dyer." We lesrn that Mr. Mitchell will visit Dyer county In a few days and arrange for a canvass in behalf of his rosd. Nj donbt of his success. xTHE MEMPHIS AND VICKSRUKfi HUUlOAD.

learn, on good authority, that the gentlemen interested in this project will shortly hold a mesting in Vicksburg for the purpose of arranging the preliminaries of organization and for work. Parlies from New Orlean, interested in the New Baton Rouge and Vicksburg are expected to be present, wheu the public may look for the commencement of an enterprise only second in importance to the Memphis and El Pjso Pacific Riilroad. Eastern capttsJ-fats are now ready in New Orleans, prepared to begin work ou the southern cod uf whr.t promises to be a grand trunk line along tho wholo ooursa of tho lower Micsisaippi, within thirty days of the (indorsement by the Govenor of Louisiana oT the charter of the company, pasted almost unanimously by the leg islature. In five year' time we expect there will be in full operation a eoutinu ous line of river road from St. Louis to New Orleans, assisting in the rapid development of tho great basin of the Father of Waters, and serving as a levee to savo for agricultural purposes millions of acres of land now submerged and wholly use! S3.

A. MITCH ELL. In our looal column will be found a card from Mr. Mitchell, President of the Mfc-itelppi River Railroad, together with two editorials from the Cairo Jiulletsrt, relative and in answer to several unkind, urjajt and unnecessary paragraphs ro-lleotlDg upon the earnest and indefatigable President of the Mississippi River Riilroad. How any man, with the years of ux- 'perienoe in publie journalism that Col.

Dupke has eDjayeJ, could lend himself to so uogracious, not to say degrading a task as the villifloallon of agood citizen, passea our comprehension and we can only aooount for his extraordinary con-duet by the belief that he perpetrated the objectionable paragraphs at a time that spirit of fun and frolic was upon him, during whloh, it is veil known to his friends, be spares nobody but himself, if, unfortunately, lie bus access to the columns of a 'newspaper. Daring the pest week he seems to have been peculiarly pesseesod of this devil, for fee has struck out like a blind man, end foully, on more than one occasion, as to draw tne fire of cur contemporaries la stringent and unmeasured terms. He sUewpted an indecent attack upon ourselves yetttrdy, but knowing his weakness, and that be could net be held responsible for what tho types of the once Infamou 3 JJuUetin would fay, wo do not propose to more than make to it. Rut with Col. Mnco-ixl the case is different.

Accew to newspapers is only gained by bim at great expense and trouble as well as time. He Is a private cltizan whose dally walk and conversation is beyond reproach a man full of energy, whose life has beon devoted to hard work a man of charcoter, well known this his native State, in St. Louis, New York, and many parts of ICenlnoky; a man, that to cur ptr-fconal knowledge, regardless of his pelittoftl opinions, is respected and r.a4ceml mcst highly la Cav-lagton, the placo of his birth and education, and wherever else he ii known in West Tennessee. As the Ledger, of last evening, very properly Insists the tlmo has passed when a man who Is living an active, Iiitlm JLrieua llfo, as a good citizen, can be wantonly attacked for hU opinion's sake, and editors bejeustained in euch conduct by tho uWic. Were this policy always to be pursued, wo should have a very hell, eternal confuson and trouble, Instead of tho psace, good fellowship and Immunity from unlawful cssallment without which it will be Impossible for us ever to achieve the material progress of the country, which veJl desire and which has so often been retarded by indls-crelinmt like those complained of by the Cairo Bulletin and Mr.

Mitchell. If tho invitations of the press and the people, and the' State authorities, 6ont breadoast to Europe, and the Eastern ind Western States of tho Union, urglrg immigration, are conceived in the right Vplrlt, If they aro to mean anything, if are to be fruitful of the columns of the cewepaper press must teen with other than atttcks upon clt -zaspf opposing political faith for that alth'a sake; they must be filled with reassuring sentences that the good lane of the will ba faithfully enforced for every man, centle or simple, poor or rich, Yankee or Southron, nd that wo aro determined to lift this lend of ouw up to the level of the hightst civ.llzition. Condemning Grant's Im pllples, condemning the usurpations of the Brownlows and the Claytons. standing upon tho platform of prin-yploa of which the Dimccratlc party is the truest exponent, consistent in nil hie, we will be none the less eo If wo cuarenteo to Mr. Mitchell, andto every Republican in tho State and throughout the South, the full measure of that liberty tj act, write or indite that claim and exerciso oureelvcB.

-pecially should be our policy uien who are pursuing the oven tenor of their way, and who, like Mr. Mitchell, aro not engaged in politics, nearly or remotely, but r.rs enlhted in their own private or schemes of merit and public Acting In this spirit, we will, iu time, disarm oven the most virulent Ridleols; if not, we will neutralise their power for evil against us by the friendship of the thinkiug and jight-mlnded who co-ope rate with them. fl'A ACE- A I) BX. The billing of the editor, Wallace, by the Radical Darden, In Warren ton, Georgia, excited not a little comment on tho part of the Radical prose of the coun try. The Eubseque'nt execution of Dar den by the excited friends of the dead Wallace has, however, drawn forth unmsasured condemnation and been made the occasion for tin eats that al most parallel the bloody programme of the philanthropist Wendell Phillips, Georgia Is to Le forthwith re-re-recon structed, and every little town within her limits garrisoned with a brigade oi trirops.

Indiscriminate slaughter is to be visited upon tho people of Warrenton, and an exampio mado that will satisfy even Phillips. All this is wrong. In every community, as Indiana and other Western States have tims and again witnessed, there are always to be found indiscreet and passionate man, who will take sides in quarreb like that which made enomles of Wallace and Darden, and who will carry their 'riendthlp to thevfullest revenge, even in splto ot cooler heads and wiser. Rut the presence and acta of sush is surely lio occasion for an excess of political malice directed ugainst a community indiscriminately. Georgia is reconstructed.

Her laws re Builizient for the punishment of all evil-doers, and her officers, being mostly ot the Radical stripe, may ba relied upon by the dominant party to in this case enforce punishment of the offenders. We protest against any political color ing being given this aifair. It originated in the conduct of a Masonic lodge, which should have been sacredly withheld from Mr. Wallace as from who have not mastered theeublime mys teries. Whatever might bs the status of tho prties before thai event, the black-balling of Wallace wb a the im mediate cause of the awful traeedy.

In that light It should be as some imog to be uepioreu and to be con demned. The Pittsburg says Congress lies a bill bsfore it to make naturalization exiraneive, to delay it for years and years, and render it almost impossible tc those who cannot spend time and money to travel about the country in eewch of Doited States Courts. Tho bill i3 a blow at the privileges eo long enjoyed by the IriHh and German Immigrants to this country. Votes, offices, cllleial houors to NEC roes but down with Germans aui Imhineu 1 Kfxjho Legislatures now rule half the Southern Siatec Tens cf thousands of negroes, who cannot tell one letter of the. alphabet from another, and who do not know what rotiDg means, and made voters in r.

day by ac act of the Republican Congress. Rut Irishmen and Germans, who have come to this country because it is freo, and bo-cause they hate oppression and despotism abroad are they must etand back, becauso tbey are so ignorant This is Black Rspu Jicanism Up with tho Negro Djwu with the White man President Grant i making rapid work of his intended restoration of the Executive oflics to tho dignities that once distinguished it. As au evidence of it b9 has revoked the court martial een- tenee against Geokoe F. Sawyer, of tho Navy, who was tried and sentenced to be suspended for one year fordenouac Ing President Johnson, and in a way preju iicial to good order and discipline, using disrespectful language of tho com mander-in-chief. During the war men were imprisoned in the bastlle for a sim ilar offense.

Then it to a crime to speak disparagingly or slightingly of Lincoln, now it is merit to nttve treated President JonNSON wort o. The "little joker" character of the reconstruction legislation of tho present Congress was well illustrated by the re cent variable nature of treatment of the Georgia Representatives Georgia is State, says the House when her Representatives are to be admitted. She is not a Slate at all, says the House, wbeL the vote for President comes up. She if no State, says the Senate, when her Sen ators present tbemsel ves. She is a State, says the Ssnute, when the question her right to vote comes up.

The election in Connecticut will take plaoa on tha 5ih of April. Jambs E. Enulisit, the present incumbent, Is the Dsmouratlc candidate for Governor, and Mabshall Jewell is tho Radical can didate. Tho LsgUluture to be chosen on that day will act on the Constitutional Amendment, giving negroes the riglt of tho ballot, and as that State once before give all emphatic no on that question. we have but llttlo fears that she wimio so again.

GRANT'S msjsrity last fall was 3041. Ik pursuance of his plan to settle all of bis relations and friends in public officers, Grant, we understand, has de termined to brook up tho present Indian Burwftu, and place Col. Parker of his personal staff, on duty as Indian Com-miwionor. Parker is a full-blooded Indian, possessed of much of the craft and cunning that distinguish bis race, and may ba relied upon to make the most of his opportunities. A special dispatch to the Nashville Banner of Wednesday, says that the ar guments before the Supreme Court nt Washington closed iu (he Tenuessco Bank caw.

ThQ-Rcpnofcan of to-dsy, in its editorial, charges tho move for the expulsion of Speaker Price (who is tho Editor of that paper) as being a stab at Governor Clayton, through him. Whitson, who waB ordered under arrest by Speaker Price, in the House, a day or two ago, is charged with the authorship of tke measure. The House to-day resumed the consideration and discussion of the resolution which declares vacant tho Speaker's chair, on account of arbitrary rulings, and appoints French as Speaker pro tern. Motion has been made in both houses to adjourn sine die. It is alleged in the resolution that the Legislature has been In session four months, at an exponee of eleven hundred dollars a day, or JS3.0C0 per month, and very llttlo has ben accomplished.

This morning theR construction Committee considered tho Georgia matters without any result.

It 13 understood the Committee Is equally divided In regard to Mississippi.

Washington, March 18, 1809. SENATE. The joint resolution to sell the Chattanooga Rolling Mills, was passed. Mr. Chandler Introduced a bill to license and enroll certain foreign vessels, wh'ca passed.

Mr. Nye Introduced a bill to construct a military road from Galveston to Fort Gibson, with a branch to Little Rock. Referred ts the Committee on Post Roads. Mr. Rimsey.

from the Committeo on PostofficesanaPostRiads, reported without amendments the to encourage and faclllta'e telegraphic communication with Europe. It authorise the American Atlantic Cable Company of New York to take any route for laying thtlr cable to Europe. AIeo, with the amendments, the bill to declare a post road, the railroad and bridges of the New Orleans, Mob'le and Chattanooga Railroad, to be constructed westward from New -leans. Cookling introduced a bill to regulate the natural ttlon of aliens. Referred to the Judiciary Committee.

It is substantially the tamo as the bill reported from the committee last session. Mr. Ksllogg, Introduced the bill to provide for the construction of railroad and telegraph Hue near tho 32J parallel to the Pacific It Incorporates tho Mississippi, Paso and Pdeiila Railroad Company, acil suthoriz it to construr a line fiom Fulton, Aikansas via El Paso and the southeastern boundary of California, to San Francisco, with branches to Sin Diego, and In aid of it, grants twenty sections per mllo on each side, and guarantees tho payment of the interest on tne uanoa oi me company 10 the amount 0COC0O In bands. Tho bill for tbo relief of O.Iando Brown passed. (Ja tho motion oi air.

aaerman, tne bill supplemental to the act to provide a national currency secured by pledges United States was taken up. Mr. Wi'ssn flared an amendment, which waa read, but the expiration of the morning hour put the bill over, and brought up the bill to repeal the tenure of offico act. Mr. Brownlow obtained the fljor.

He was too feeble to read his remarks to they were read by the Secretary. The passage of the tenure of office act, he said, marked an important era in the history of our Government. It has imposed a long needed check npon the usurpation of power, by tho Exocntive, and the advantage thus gained should not on any account do yielded up, aud he was therefore opposed te the repeal of the law, although willicg that it should be modified so lar as Congress might think it expedient. The chief reason given for the repeal seemed to be the confidence of Congress and the people in President Grant, but that seemed to him to be no reason at all. No one within or outside the chamber had a blgaer estimate than bo of Grant's character, but in considering such a proposition as that now pending, he could not, nor should the Senate, be governed by anything eo unreliable as iudividual character, or evanescent as individuality.

Mr. Scott next took the floor, but immediately yielded to a motion to adjourn. Mr. Trumbull announced that ho would press a vote before adjourning to morrow. And then the Senate adj turned.

HOUSE. The joint resolution to remove the stable, saw mill, from tho Capitol grounds was passed. Several resolutions relative to contested elections were referred to the Election Committee. Mr Woodward offered a resolution in regard to tho 21st Pennsylvania District, (Covoda's), which wai, after a discussion, tabled by 100 to 44. The Speaker announced that he hsd annotated Mes3ra.

Walker, Jenks and Niblack a committee of conference on the concurrent resolution for the ap pointment of a joint commlttea on re Mr. Hoooer. from the Committee on Wqvs and Means, reported a bill to amend the act of July 20, 1803, imposing taxes on distilled spirits anu tooaco, which wa3 ordered to be printed and recommitted The bill modifies to some extent the provisions of tho law a3 to the ownership or tuo real estate on which the distilleries stand, and as to what constitutes rectifiers of spirits anu as to revenue stamps on tobacco and snuff, aud extends to the 20ih of April, 1S70, tho time for withdrawing distilled -Ditits from bonded warehouses, and subjects them to an additional tax of one per cent, per gallon per montn. Mr. Farnsworth, frcm the Rconstruc tion Committee, reported a substitute for the Senate jiint resolution as to tno re moval of civil officers in Virginia, Mis slssippi and Texas, that they shall have thirty days to complete the removals from office, of civil ffieers who cannot take the test oath.

Ha explained amply the meaning and effect of the substitute-Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, expressed his regret that Le was compelled to orncse me nrst resolution reponeo to the House from the committeo of which he was chairman, and proceeded to a-uu9 scaiust it, contending that there was no necessity for it, and that its effect would ba to the officers who were ditquaimed from notulng office. Mr. Maynord inquired whether th resolution was to be eonsHered as a Re publican or Democratic measure. Mr.

Farnsworth "It is labeled a publican measure." Mr. Bu'Ier "And i oppose it as a Democratic measure." Mr. Farnnworth As I am the oldest Republican my testimony is at least as good as that of the gentleman from Mas sachusetts." Mr. Butler" Nothing but wine and cheese Is judged by age." Mr. Farnsworth 1 believe I wa a Rspubli -an when my friend from Mas sachusotts was-in hisawadling clothes." Mr.

Paine, another membar of the Committee, expressed his n-gret at being compelled to diuer from the rueprity or the committee. The Hou-e refused to second tho previ ous question by 55 to 70, and the joint resolution and amendment were, ou motion of Mr. Ward, submitted to the Reconstruction Committee.
