versing il through the southwestern
extremity, is the Cairo and Fulton
Railroad.
And, finally, connecting the capital
and the valley of the upper Arkansas
with New Orleans, is the Little Rock,
Pine Bluff and New Orleans Railroad.
The importance of these assured links
in the Southern Pacific Railroad,
should be noted.
The two international routes now
seeking the aid OF the General Gov
ernment, are the 3jth parallel route
and the SD parallel, or the Memphis
and FL PasO route.
The thirty-fitth parallel starts from
Fort Smith, on the western boundary
Of the State; and the selection OF this
line as national highway makes the
Little Rock and Fort Smith road and
the Memphis and Little Rock road an
integral part of the main stem, as
they constitute its most directly
eastern outlet. AT the same time Tia
/ Little Rock, Pine Bluff and New
/ Orleans road become the southern
/ branch over which the trade and
| travel to and from the Gulf States
must inevitably pass.
The thirty-secOnd parallel begins at
Tekana, the terminus Of the Cairo and
Fulton, and Mississippi, Ouachita and
/ Red river roads; therefore, these lines
/ become equally indispensable links in
/ this great trunk route to the Pacific,
/ the Mississippi, Ouachita and Red
river road being its prolongatiOn east
ward. without a change Of direction
/ to the Mississippi river, while the
/ Cairo and Fulton may be regarded as
a distinctly northern branch.
That these lines must be self-sup-
porting were they TO remain purely
local roads. Actually necessary to the
section Of the State which they will
penetrate and drain, they can become
rivals only for the through traffic from
/ Texas aud New Mexico, which in the
/ immediate future must find an outlet
/ eastward over the railways Of ArkaD-
sas.
NO MORE STATE AID TO RAILROADS.
By a constitutional provision, the
credit of the State can only be loaned
by a vote of the people taken tor the
purpose, which efiectually prevents
aDy further loan, and the present
grant of State aid is limited TO $50
miles.
The Legislature has no power in the
premises and the present aid met with
very universal approval, for the reason
that all portions OF the State were to
be. equally benefited thereby; and
there is not q shadow OF probability
of any further aid than the $50 miles
provided for by existing laws.

NASHVILLE.
An Old NegrO's FunsraI---An Evidence
of Radical Insincerity.

NASHVILLE, March 14.-A negro
woman known as A" Aunt Janette, "
died here yesterday at the age of 10
years. Her funeral took place to-day
from the First Presbyterian church
and was largely attended.
Many citizens of Northern birth,
who have settled here since the war,
are taking active steps to make their
influence felt against Congressional
intervention.
Investigation of the records show
that the bill to punish masked ma
rauders, introduced in response to
Governor Senter's recommendation,
failed to pass for want of a quorum,
and that ten of the twelve Republi-
can members were absent.
