GRAND GtFT CoSeERr.-The Mercantile Lii

Concert until the last day of October next.
The attempt was made to obtain an iniunc-
ton to restrain the enterprise, and the Grand
Jury of San Francisco having the matter
brought before them fer consideration, operat-
ed against the sale of tickets which were ex-
peeted to have been sold by the FIRST of the
present month, thereby making It necessity
to postpone the drawing Of prizes. All inter
ference having ceased the Association made q
postponement, assuring the public that it is
the only one which will be made, that the
drawing will positively take place on the Slst
day Of October. All tickets remaining un-
sold will be cancelled before the drawing
which will not affect the number or amount
ofgins advertised to be distributed There is
every reason to believe that the whole affair
will be conducted on the strictest principles
of fairness. Tickets are being rapidly Sold
there Is still chance to get the one that will

From the dispatches receivei.it appears that

Prassian King, however, does not seem will

which is now the government de .facto Of

for expecting that Louis Napoleon viii again

been recognized by few nations, and if it
acts with becoming dignity and prudence
will probably be generally recognized and
become firmly established. At present it has
the support Of the entire people Of the coun-
try, and although it may be distasteful to
Biswark and the King to recognize Repub-
will be apt to prolong the war in manner
that may cause Germany to lose some of her

on by Prussia as against the Empire, they

the French people; upon the dowafall of Ma

willing to make honorable terms and they
are rejected or if Prussia will not treat with
the de facto government, but make efforts to
restore France to monarchy again, the SYM
pathv of the world which has followed her
during the struggle, will be lost, and the
French will be reinvigorated to continue the
war with the firm conviction, that professions
proclaimed by their enemy was not true. If
Prussia persists in annexing portion of
France, it WILL without doubt create other
complications. The reports are that Russia

A Pamphlet on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road.

From Lanier's Real Estate Bulletin.l
A friend of ours has furnished us
with a pamphlet issued by d. N. Stan
ton, President of the Atlanta and Chat
tanooga road, in reference to the South
ern Pacific Railroad, which is full OF
interesting facts. We are glad to see
Northern and Eastern capitalists taking
an interest in this great Southern enter
prise, and whilst we may not feel dis
posed to endorse all of their views, we
do not think it wise to reject their prof
fered assistance, and return them no
thanks for the many sound arguments
they use in our favor. We believe the
bill now before Congress is to build up a
main-trunk from Marshall, Texas. to San
Diego, California, with connecting lines
to Cairo, Memphis, Vicksburg and New
Orleans Men living on all these lines.
are among the incorporators which will
tend to prevent any local jealousies on
rival routes. We are satisfied that our
city will enjoy large portion of the
trade and travel over this road, no mat
ter by what parties it may be built, and
therefore it will be wise policy TO en-
courage that company which will build
it in the quickest time and in the best
manner, for we will need and should
have a frst-class road, and it should be
in the hands of men who will give us
good accommodation and cheap rates Of
transportation and travel. We give the
closing portion of the address, which viii
be found very interesting and instruc-
tive:
This route is unquestionably the
shortest and cheapest that can be built
to the Pacific, as will be seen by refer
ence to comparative statement Of va
rouis routes from report Of Captain
Humphreys, April 9, 1869, on page 3,
with light grades, easy curves, mild and
healthful climate, and must eventually
become the great favorite passenger and
mail route across the continent. In Mr..
Stewards report to the Senate of the
g United States, February 49, 1869, he
says: The South is entitled to a line.
The Southern States are in the Union.
They have the same rights that the Mid
die States have, or the Northern States
They have the right Of access to the Pa
ci6c on their parallel of latitude They
have a right to their share Of the trans
continental commerce between Asia and
Europe. Norfolk, Charleston, Savan-
nah, Mobile and New Orleans can justly
complain Of Middle State monopoly
which pours all this inter-continental
traffic into New York and Philadelphia.
The States lately in rebellion are ruined
and impoverished. Their peculiar pro
ducts Of cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco
are Of the utmost value to the nation.
1t is sound public policy to aid the res
tOratiOn Of the annual production Of this
wealth, which is confined by the laws Of
climate to the South. To the extent that
Southern Pacific railroad will stimu-
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1870-08-01

late the growth of the peculiar Southern
agricultural products, the Northern and
Middle States have each large and di-
rect interest in having it constructed,
and the prosperity of the foreign com
merce of the United States demands that
il shall be completed 1t will be seen
by the map accompanying this Report
that the line of this road traverses a
tract of country unsurpassed in the fer
tility of its soil and salubrity of its eli
mate, to wit: the northern part of Texas,
and runs directly through the great min
ing districts of Arizona and California,
the development of which should of it
self be an inducement, if there were no
other, for the Government to aid this
road. Apart from these considerations,
the Government, through the instrument
tally of this road, will be enabled to
throw open to the world the large tracts
of public lands now lying dormant and
unimproved along the line of the road,
or in contiguity with it, in the States as
we'll as in the territories, thus bringing
them into notice and greatly enhancing
their value, thereby making them
source of revenue to the Government.
The Government, in aiding this enter
prise, will be placed upon an equal foot
ing, so far as security is concerned, with
individuals, which is altogether different
from the mode of aiding previous enter
prises of similar character as will fully
appear in the bill which the company
propose hereafter to submit to Congress,
specifying, for their approval, what aid
they desire, and in what manner it may
be given. While the completion of the
Southern Trans-C Continental Route will
inure very greatly to the advantage of
the Southern States, it will also be for
the good Of the whole Union. TheWest-
ern, Middle and Eastern States are now
rich and prosperous, and they can afford
to be, land undoubtedly will be, liberal and
toward their weaker sis
ters, and on their vote and by their ac-
lion depends the early success of this
great enterprise.
