A PREmcTioN FuLFILLED.-The West.
en Review, Magazine published at
Lexington, Kentucky, in August. 1919,
almost thirty years ago, contains nm inter.
esting biographical sketch OF Mai. ZAcn-
AIRY TAYLOR, who had at that time ac-
quired all enviable reputation as an officer,
and n man ofintelectua aud moral worth.
Towards the close OF the article, the
writer hazards this remarkable prediction.
lie says:
Major Taylor is now in the 30th year
OF his age, uniting the unabated yigor Of
youth with the matured experience Of
riper years. With frame fitted for the
most active aud hardy enterprise, au ar
dent spirit, a sanguine temper, and an in
vincble courage gifted with rapid dis
cernment, a discriminating Judgment, aud
a deep knowledge of mankind and pos
sessing heart susceptible of the most
generous impulses Of humanity we re-
gard him as an officer OF peculiar promise;
and hazard, we think, but little in the
prediction, that in The ercm Of 'car at
no distant period, Jetwecn The U, States
and England or Spain, Mexicol riding
on the t,dc Of military glory, he cii itnd
his t,Ue ieri at the head Of an army"
The New York Courier, in relating
the above incident, remarks: "llow full.
" and nobly this prediction has been yeri-
fed, the recent history OF this country has
informed the world. In this sketch writ
ten more Than a quarter OF a century ago
when Taylor had done comparatively lit
tie TO attract public attention, we see pre-.
cisoly those qualities attracting notice,
which have since been so conspicuous
upon wider field. They are the qualities
which always make great men and in
Taylor's case, as in every similar case,
these distinctions and characteristic traits
are Just as prominent at one period Of his
lie us at another N o. Bulletin.

pENNsYLvANlA.--rhe Philadelphia
Ledger of the Goth nlt., in relation to the
result in that State says:
ave received last night from our Har-
risburg correspondent the official vote ol
this State for President and Vice Presi-
dent in full, except the counties of Elk,
Greene, Mexican, Sullivan, and Warren
and the vote is for Taylor ls2, ,l59; Cass
1911; Van Buren HOS. Taylor's ma.
jority over Cass li,9l3; over Cass and
Van Buren, 3,s95. Taylors majority over
Cass will be about 900"
This is damper TO the Locos in this
quarter, many OF whom. during the past
week have been laying the hoitering
junction to their souls that there was some
mistake about the returns, and that the
Old Keystone had gone for Cass by a
small majority, securing his election by
four electoral votes. This information
was brought here from Shreveport, by n
traveller, who stated that the Democrats
there, were firing guns in honor OF the
victory. The firing, no doubt, was done,
but we presume it was by the Wings in.
stead Of the Locos.

RAILROAD PROM GALVESTON Bay To
Rrp RlvrR.-An act was passed by the
Legislature of Texas at IT, last session,
granting a charter ior the construction Of
a Railroad from Galveston Bay TO Red
River. The people OF Texas, living along
the line OF the proposed Railroad, are
moving in earnest in the matter, and
there is good prospects OF the road being
commenced ere long. The citizens ol
Walker county held meeting recently
at Huntsville, Senator llous on presiding,
aud a resolution wasadopted highly ap.
proving OF the plan for constructing the
road, aud pledging themselves 10 exert
their influence IN the promotion OF the
important undertaking. A meeting has
also been held in Cherokee county, at
which resolutions 10 the same effect were
adopted
Since the above was written. we have
received the Galveston News OF the llth,
IN which there is an article on the pro-
posed Railroad. The News says:
Col. Allen returned 10 this city a few
days since, having been absent about
three months, in which time he, IN com.
pany with A. J. Yates, Esq, has visited
nearly all the counties ou the Trinity,
aud eastward of the Trinity, from Calves.
ton Bay to Red River. 1t is with IN.
ieigned pleasure that we learn they have
met with the most ilatIering encourage.
ment wherever they have been, in regard
to their great railroad enterprise. Public
meetings have been held in most of the
counties; and those who at first urged
Objections, or intimated doubts and sus.
piclons. after the plan was clearly ex.
planned. often became its most jealous
advocates. In fact, the pr, posed road is
now meeting with hearty, active aud
generous support throughout the country.
Committees have been appointed by the
people OF the several counties, and agents
selected, who are now engaged in obtain.
ing the conditional grants OF land and
no doubt appears to be entertained that
at least half n million OF acres will be
donated, conditioned that the titles shall
become complete, and the lands vest in
fec simple in the company when the
proposed road shall be completed from
Galveston Bay TO the parallel of latitude
with the lands respectively. No one can
deny that this enterprise Is one OF vast
importance to the country and to this city
nor is it easy to point out any obstacle
to its accomplishment, on the plan pro.
posed, that should be iusurmountable. In
fact, we can hardly conceive any scheme
more plausible, or froer from objections.
