supposed, such words were not pleas
ing to the Pennsylvania Senator, and
he answered in effect that the rebel
lious section would be brought back
into the Union, and that he firmly be-
lieved that, if the South persisted in
its course, not only would the slaves
all be set free, but that Zone dag a
cOtored man 1oiu occupy your seat, Mr..
Darts, IN The United States Senate"
Davis, in great anger, turned to
Senator Cameron, and said that the
North, not the South, would suffer
from the coming war, and that he
himself would "leada party to burn
to the ground your property, Mr..
Cameron, in Pennsylvania"
OF this incident Mr.. Davis appears
to be as fOrgettul as he has been of his
oath. When the invasion of Penn
sylvania was attempted by the rebel
army, one of the generals received or
ders to destroy if possible, the prop
erty Of Simon Cameron and Thaddeus
Stevens. They burnt that of the lat
ter, and went ON their way to destroy
General Cameron's, when they turned
upon their tracks.
This is a plain, straightstory Cam
eron fulfilled his prophecy better than
Davis did his threat.

A North Carolina Straight Drink.

Some years since, when they were
buildin' the locks ON Coal river. I was
over thar at Peytona, an I stopped in
at DIR. Kellum's, who physicked peo-
pie in that quarter at that time. Thar
was a famine just then, and great sui
ferin' among men, women and chill
dren, for want of the n-ecessaries of
life.
Leastwise. it was about the same
thing. Thar was plenty of meat, an
abundance of corn, and no scarcity of
chicken; but the rivers were dry, am
whisky run entirely short. Some pru-
dent people laid in sufficient stock, but
the most had not. How to bring up
a family 'thOut red-eye was a puzzler,
and the sutierin' was enormous.
DR.. Kellum was in trouble too; he
sympathized with his neighbOrs, but
he had a half barrel Of % per cent.
alcohol in his Office, and, as lar as he
was concerned, he managed to fix up,
with sugar, an water, am gum, am
ether, an sich truck, until he made a
purity fair drink. Seem | was a friend

"Oh," says KelIum, pointin to the

JOHN W. FoRNEY, against the de-
NAL of MI. Davis, persists in saying
that Senator Cameron did say to him
that one day 3 colored man will oc-
cuPy your seat, Nh. Davis, in the
United States Senate" He makes a
direct issue of veracity, but offers no
proof except his own statement. How
much that is worth may be see from
the fact that MI. Davisis charged with
making an angry reply at his own
house, at which Mr.. Cameron Uds then
a guest on the irritation of Mrs. Darts
That is incredible. And, inasmuch as
he who can perpetrate one lie is likelv
to follow it with others, the assertion
that Zone of the Generals received
orders TO destroy, ii possible, the
property ofSimon Cameron and Thad-
deus Stevens,9 is equally so. If
Cameron is backing up this attack of
Forney, he is making himself more
infamous than the " dead duck.D We

from the A0dtdnche, on account of a
disagreement of political sentiment
with Col. Kellar, his associate editor,
though not on account of any personal
difference. He proposes to return to

staunch Democrat. and would be
rather like fish out of water since he

if he did not return to his old profess

Reports Of the Subcommittee Of the Senate
on FremOnt's Last Project.
the Baltimore Gazette

From the Baltimore Gazette.l
The report of the subcommittee of
the Senate, on the bill to Incorporate
the new Southern transatlantic
Railroad Company-the Southern Pa
cifc line-in which B.. G. Brinkley,
Sam Tate and others of New York
are made corpOrators, says: "The
question, therefore, of a railroad COM
pany to acquire lands from the State
| of Texas, must be decided without
reference to the present State Consti-
tuition. We entertain not the least
doubt of the power of the Legislature
To enter into an agreement with q cor
~poratiOn to grant them lands in aid of
the construction of a railroad, to be
carried out through the instrument
atty of the State Land Office, under
o D provisions of law, but from
the examination we have given the
subject, we are forced to the cOnclu-
sion that the Memphis, Ell PasO
and Pacific Railroad, sometimes
called the Trans-COntinental Rail-
road Company, by reason of their
neglect to perform the work
required of them, have lost the right
to demand any more lands from
Texas. We take pleasure, however,
in repeating that we e no reason
for surprising that the State Legisla-
ture may not hereafter set apart and
appropriate lands to aid in the con-
struetlon of railroads in that State as
they have done heretofore. 1t is not
to be supposed that the Convention
meant, for the future, to prohibit the
applications of their rich and valuable
domain in aid of the construe-
lion OF railroads and other internal
improvements so necessary to Texas

subcommittee, and it is his purpose

Nh. Tabeas, new Minister Pienipo-
Tertiary from San Domingo, brings
recent election returns on the annexa-
ton question. Complete accounts
contain 1919 signatures for annexa-
ton TO 110against. This is the largest
vote that has been cast in the Repub-
lie for twenty-six years. The only
material opposition is on the Haytien
frontier, where lawless bands of Hay
items are at their usual guerilla raids,
instigated, it is said, by the British
Consul at st. John, and the Spanish
Consul Alverez, at Port au Prince.
The officials are striving desperately
to defeat annexation, and already be-
in to boast of anticipated success.

IT is easy enough to finish the Little
Rock road. The greater difficulties
have been surmOunted. The directors
of the cOmpanys still have power to &C.
cOmplish the task, and we need not
postpone an event because Northern
transeOntinental lines wage relentless
war upon the Southern Pacific scheme.
While this contest is pending in Con-
gHss, and Fremont finds himself tenn
Prarily impOtent, there are agencies
here which may be employed to give
US immediate access to the rapidly
growing wealth of central Arkansas.
There are two rich, powerful railroad
companies, as much interested as the
people of Memphis, in extending their
lines into the heart of Arkansas. Gen.
Boyd, the superintendent of the Mem
phis and Louisville road, is a clear
headed thinker, and the management
of railways and enlargement of their
fields of utility is a science to which
he devOtes his strong Intellectual en-
ergies. Even now a large share of the
freights and travel of his road is
drawn from the rich fields of Arkan-
sas. Major Wicks recognizes the
same facts and necessities affecting the
Memphis and Charleston road. These
two rival corporations have identical
interests, as these are affected by the
Memphis and Little Rock road.
Would it not be well that the repre-
sentatives Of Wicks', and Boyd's, and
Forests and Whites roads should
meet and agree upon a plan of CO.
operation with Fremont and Epper-
son? While these two last named
gentlemen are baked of their pur-
poses by Congressional inaction or
hostility, the Memphis and Louisville
and Memphis and Charleston, and the
Selma and Grenada roads might as
sumo Fremont's task. They all have
a similar interest and motives. They
may secure a lease to be terminated
whenever Fremont refunds money
required and used in the completion
of the Little Rock road. Memphis
would thus be enriched, Arkansas
would receive vast acquisitions, and
the travel and traffic of the roads on
this side of the Mississippi would be
increased to an incalculable extent.
All our roads are now indebted to Ar
kansas for a very large share of their
business, and, combined, have credit
and wealth. They can use bonds
would be paid in two years by
business drawn from a
finished road to Little Rock. Boyd's
and Wicks' eastern roads have desired
different periods to secure the con-
rol Of the Little Rock road, or stock
holders and managers of the three
have often contemplated such a
eheme. In any event we see no good
easOn why a temporary or perpetual
arrangement may not be effected on :
he basis suggested, by which these
ordinations may be made and the
Of Arkansas rendered accessi-
lie to this city, to Louisville, to
'harleston, and TO Selma and Gren-
da. We are free traders in fact and
and would have all cities and
roads made equal and fair compet-
5ors. Arkansas viii be the great ,
eneficiary.
