q large part of the freight by way of the Mississippi
River viii seek at Memphis the more rapid transpor-

One hundred miles of this route are completed and
show large earnings from way traffic alone. The
completion of the enterprise is already assured by
the large sales of bonds and liberal subscriptions of
town and county aid.
Considered a railway mortgage alone these
bonds are equal to any now in the market But in
addition to the lien on the railway property, the
bonds secured by the obligation of the State of
Alabama, indorsed upon them, which has been de-
clared by the leading lawyers of New York to be as

4 West Point Rall-The Negro Cadet
Absent.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.l
1t is reported that at the closing hop
Of the West Point cadets last evening
the colored "pleb." did not put in an
appearance. Can it be that more tyr
amy has been exercised at that aristo-
cratic institution Was this son Of poor
hut African parents purposely excluded
from the scene of festivities? Did the
great American doctrine Of social equal
ity suffer another stab in the hack last
night2 Are we to understand that the
nsilapsl brunette has no ballroom rights
that white men are hound TO respect
Were such men as President GRAM, Su-
perintendent Pitcher, Generals Porter,
Emory and Parker, Senator Ames, et aL,
silent spectators Of this arbitrary exolu-
elusioni Did it not OCCUR to
President Grant aud the rest Of
them, surrounded as they were by their
wives and daughters, that this would
have been o glorious opportunity 10 for
mally introduce the shady element Of
our civilization and stamp it with the
approval Of authority2 What more
magnificent spectacle could the world
have witnessed than the hero Of Apo
mattox presenting 20 that brilliant as
sembly an embryo Toussaint in a gray
cut away coat and brass buttons, and
soliciting, for his partner in the dance,
one Of tie lovely daughters OF Secretary
Fish or the charming bride Of the blonde
Senator from Mississippi Assuredly
such an act would have given color to
the belief that We all cheerfully accept
the great social revolution which war has
entailed, asd are prepared TO confirm It
BY our acts. IL was a cruel thing
shutting out this poor pleb, from the
gay throng Of pleasure vorshippers-a
very cruel thing. Brethren, LET Us weep.

The sunlight is beautiful. mother-itlies
On the evenings pearly breast.
On the lily's brow. on the lip of the rose,
Like broken dream of day ere it dies
Or rays of angels wings ere they close
Some crystal gate that was left ajar
By one who had wandered afar, afar,
To soul that was seeking its rest.
1t Is beautiful, seeking thus ever
The heart of each fragile flower,
And my spirit. with all, is yet keeping
Some glory, some faith, for each hour.
The sunlight is beautiful, mother-it dreams
OF times in the long, long ago:
When in Eden it wooed each birding to
praise
And waken'd sweet song in its slumb' 'rous
streams.
And had for its own, all the azure-eyed
days.
So heart wakens up to its lost dreams again.
And feels yet the clank of its old hidden pain.
All. the sunlight. it never can know!
1t is beautiful. dreaming so fondly!
Like touch of our Gods hand it seems,
Or touch of theshadowy, sanctifed Past
That beckons life back to its dreams.
The sunlight is beautiful, mother-it sleeps
On cloud of rosiest balm;
The winds in love with the clover are gone,
Or stray in the crimson myrtle that keeps
The love-words of day and .ho blush of each
dawn;
Till the heart. like pallid autumnalleaf,
With the rose is staying-forgetting its grief,
And lost in ewes starry calm.
1t is beautiful sleeping thus, mother
VIII the agonized spirit yet sleep?
And is there place where our beautiful love,
And JOY can never more weep?
