MM war between Asheville and
Rutherford ten H Broad liver, and
where tha road crosse tba river and
witfcia half a mile above and below ara
found water powera, which ooroMned,
or equal to seventy-five thonaand
horse power. Hera dyoamos are to be
planted to foroe the long fright and

Ashevlll and Buthorfordton.
Han toeufBc'ent power to pall all tha
train on tba R. & D. railroad over
. thoaa soaataine, Tha nooaaa of thia
enterprise la not a dream, for electricity
h Mag used uader similar ondltlona
for transportation in both Germany and
Bwttserlaod. Comparatively it will
coat bat little to conatrnot thle electric
railway, though It will traverse one of
thaasoat rugged sections of territory
any where out of tha Rooklea. There
It tut little grading required for tha
road bad, for we ara told that a loaded
electric oar oaa aaoend or deaoaad a
mountain with a irauoh self control aa
xota oa a dead level.
Tha success of the project meant that
all over tha ountry where there ii suf
ficient water power, electric railroada

thia much.
KKC0CRuK THIS MOVGKKU.
Tha farmers ara a tremendous power
whan they combine, but they have been
moat unfortunate because of a lack of
eoheelve power. The very nature of
their labors and their rural habitation
tend to keep them ignorant of one an
other and the rest of the world, hence
their Interests have been treated with
ooateeo.pt too often. For every rascal
there to among tha politician, and there
ara thousand of them, there is more
' tbaa oaa fool among the farmer.
But th farmers are earnestly trying
to get the bull by tha horns. Many of
them may blindly follow such men a
Polk and Peffer, whose crude notions
ara enough to chock statesmen and po
litfcal economists, bat the wisest and
beat man oa tha soil mean to do iome
tbing batter. Tha telegrephio daspatoh

Simpson win be accompanied on hie
peaking toar thronghHhe South by one
or two female oratort from tha State of
rsnsaa, ITiaao ieaotod foe iter share
of inch orator, and one of tbam wa an
bitter in bat oppoaMoa to ex-8eeor
IngaUa that aha publicly declared that
he "woaUd follow him from Wall Bt.
to h U." Aaetha doetrine they eon
tend for np theia In Kansas, la the re
peal of all laws b tba Southern State
forbidding intermarriage between the
white and colored race. Soma of them
have gone aa far aa to declare that it
we the exolaai ve right of the woman
to determine th pateraitT of her child.
Oar friend m Georgia will hardly care
to receive leaeone la political eeonomy
from each teachers, end Unncle Jerre
may expect to bare hi hand fall if he
take with him any of these Kanaae fe
male orators. Their nreeeaee ahonld
excite the oppoeltloa of a flrat elaw
Oeonrta watermelon. Wonder who
pay tho expensse of these female ora
tor? Raleigh New and JObserver.
We understand that Jarre Simpson ia
good aatured and will, no doubt, be re
garded aa a curiosity In the South. Cut
theie worn on, if the Newt and Obaerver
I corrrct, will be worm on the South
than Sherman's army. It la raid I hi
gang la going Sooth to toe if it ia really
In favor of a third party, and If not it
will go back to Kansas and
preach Republicanism.
Tiir Philadelphia Prow ha ath.it
diicovered that tha Booth ia in the un
ion. It quote with mnoh joy appa
rently what Southern newapapera aay
of tha Fourth of July celebration. The
Pre ay :
"Tha Southern newspaper give slg
nifloant evidence of the change in the
method of recognizing the day. Tha
Naahville American y: 'Our coun
try' natal day wa mora generally ob
served bare as a holiday than any for
mer Fourth of July anniversary for the
last third of a century." The Charles
ton News and Courier is inclinned to be
a little facetious, but it nevertheless
bout with a good deal of vim: "Glo
ry! Old Glory I L"t the American eagle
flap his wings, screech a loud icreroh.
and take a firm hold of the flagstaff
with bis talon.' Tbe New Orleans
Times Democrat declared on Friday
that the people intended to celebrate
tbe day 'with a spirit and enthusiasm
they have not pnt into it for nearly half
a century,' and the Mobile Register as
erts without fear of c intradiction tbat
'despite the croaking of calamity ora
tors and nnprincipled demagogues, tb'i
is the freest, noblest and most prosper
ous land under the sun. ' "
Mow aa a matter of fiot the Southern
people have been perfectly satisfied in
the union for twenty years. They hare
but one complaint to make of their
Northern frienda and that ia this: They
have been and ara being profusely bltd
for the benefit of a totally unworthy
claas at the North.
The Chboniols believes in private
execution of a oondemned criminal .bxt
t believee in humannes. What are
the public to believe concerning the
execution by electricity of the four men
at Slag Sing Armed guard stood around
the prison and warned newspaper men
tint tbey would be shot If they attempt
ej to approach tho prison to get the
news of tbe execution, heuce the Dew
papers bare printed all sens of contra
dictions about tbe execution and the
public are in mental darkness aa to the
success of tha new method of legal kill
ing. It ia asserted tbat somo of the men
were horribly burnt by the electrode
but death waa of course instantaneous,
and painless. It it an Important matter
and the public have a right to know tha
real character of tha new method. The
newspaper of Now Yotk printed long
accounts of what they supposed happen
ed, which publication is a violation of
the law. The law so far as regards the
ocrecy of the execution is very defc
tive and Is an insult to thel'bcrty of the
press.
Tbe Albany Argus informs theAtlan
ta Constitution by authority that the
Augusta Chronicle was correct when it
deolared that Hon David B. Hill never
delivered in his Brooklyn speech or
anywhere else one word m favor of the
rreeooinage of silver. Augusta Chron
iole.
It I getting time to know what Hill
is or is not In favor of. Ho onoe said
"I am a Democrat," but there ia more
than one kind of a Democrat and tho
question now is what kind is Uilir

You seem to draw ao eroneooJ con
clusion from the Inquiring- of your
Ohio correspondent published in yes
terday's Chrokiclk If you will turn
again to hia letter you will aee tbat his
ioquitv ia aa to the kind of monument
erected" to commemorate the Mecklen
bnrg Resolutions."
The genuineness of tha Resolutions of
May 81, 1773, has never been question
ed, but the declaration of the 30th is
the bone of contention. The cootro,
veny has been between these two
events, and dates. Why did not yonr
owrespoaaent inquire as to the kind f
monument erected to commemorate
the Mecklenburg Declaration. The
Deslaration which he refers to aa inb
arquent to the reaolntibna waa of ooorte
the National Dec la ration, for he would
haidly expect a monument tobeereot
ed to tha resolutions instead of the
Declaration made by the same people
joat 11 day a afterwards. The refrreuo
your correspondent makes to Bancroft's
Uiatnry to foil proof that he referred to
the RoJattor of tha list, for Baacrof t
make no ncatioa of tha Declaration cf
thelOth.
Indeed it haa been aaeartad. and an
far at the pubim knows, without ao

that ao btooriaa or writer who haa aver
