shortest route to the Southern Pacific.
The two cooperating commercial
forces on either side Of the Mississippi,
Forests and Greenlaw's roads,
sooner or later, must draw to Mem
Phis many ~conyerging highways from
the North and East. But people are
impatient, and time is mOney. There
fore the necessity for the Intervention
of Memphis in behalf Of the Paducah
road. If we await the action OF
foreign capitalists to send down a line
from Paducah, lateral roads may be
constructed to drain the adjacent
country of its wealth and de-
prive the Selma road, in which
we have invested 100000, of
| a large share of the traffic and travel
that would be drawn through this city
il Forests road and the Mississippi
and Tennessee had this connection
with the Ohio. Moreover, it is quite
as wise to draw Northern roads 30
Paducah, by connecting Memphis
with that point, as to stand still and
starve while awaiting the action Of
Eastern and Northern railroad build
ers. The surest mode Of extending
our Southern and Western connec-
tions, is by concentration at this point
of a system Of Northern roads. The
owners Of the Lexington and Big
Sandy, and OF the st. Louis and Pa
ducah roads, will be quite as anxious
to extend their lines south and west
Of Memphis, when they have reached
this point, IS they are now to connect
Memphis and Paducah. If the
mighty system Of roads converging
at Indianapolis, cross the Ohio at Pa
ducah and come down to Memphis,
there is no force in commercial eKac-
tons which an prevent the i'm
mediate completion Of a road to the
western ocean. Let Memphis there
fore lead the way and hasten the con-
structiOn of the PaduCah road. Iron
bars utter ~resistless appeals to the rea-
son of northern railway managers and
the sooner we write the eloquent story
on the face .of the rich country be
tween Memphis and Paducah, the
sooner will the purposes of those be
achieved who would make this city a
magnificent commercial and manu-
featuring emporium.

THE new departure is made to
catch Republican votes. 1t is de-
signed to put northern Democrats in
power. 1t is for the benefit Of north
ern men, who are willing South Caro-
lima and ell the southern States should
be depleted and destroyed by the
vampire carpet-baggers, so, only, that
they may get Cfice. These northern
Democrats are the sort Of friends to
our people that some patriotic iudi-
viduals Of both sections were said to
be 10 their kindred who were willing
TO sacrifice the last cent, the last acre
and the last drop Of blood Of their last
relation to the common cause. The
only way northern men can stand to
and DO anything to protect our peO-
pie, is to yield US constitutional
rights. That is all the amnesty we
want. The dear friends who are so
prompt to consent that rights which
have been iniquitOusly taken shall re-
main 50, and that southerners should
be trampled under the heel Of usurped
power in order that they may gain
office, can never be valuable to US.
They will never leopard th,r posses
sion Of the spoils for our sakes. We
had rather 90 with open enemies than
with such friends, with the learned
pedagogue Sumner, OF the blear-eyed
and soulless hog Butler, than to herd
with such ~hypocrites, disguised as
pretended friends. There is nothing
TO be gained by it. The enemy NAV
take our property, but not our prin-
ciples and goOdname. These so-eaIIed
northern friends propose to take both. /
and estop us from ever finding or
seeking a remedy.

TIE Shreveport Southeastern is di
recting the attention of its read,
ers to the fact that Memphis i:
a point in the shortest route
from that city TO Europe. The
through freight trains from this city
to Norfolk, connecting with the Allan
line Of steamers, will save Shreveport
time and money. Meanwhile the
Memphis and Little Rock road viii
be extended to Pine Bluff, Camden
and Shreveport, 2lOmiles, through the
richest districts of Arkansas. This
road will be completed as soon as that
from Nicksburg to Shreveport and the
Memphis railroad route will still CON-
stitute part Of the shortest line from
Red river to Eastern citie3. Then the
Lexington, Big Sandy and Paducah
road must be extended TO Memphis,
and therefore Chicago capitalists, as
well as those Of St. Louis, + extend
ing railway lines from those cities to
Paducah. Paducah must become a
great railway center. 1t is now the
point Of conveyance Of two railways,
and Of confluence Of three rivers. Ii
is rapidly becoming, because Of the
proximity Of iron and coal fields, a
great manufacturing city, and, strange
as it may seem, the day is not distant
when travellers from Shreveport will
find Memphis and Paducah points on
the shortest railway lin, connecting
Red river with the great sggregations
Of Eastern wealth and power.

stored the Union of 1857, and regained
our lost liberties; but, unfortunately
for thu party, If not for himself, he
failed to understand the true nature
and theory of our government, and
wasted his breath while in Congress
opposing the manner Of prosecution
of the war instead Of opposing the
war itself, upon the broad ground Of
its uncOnstitutiOnahty and denying
the right of the Federal Government
to wage a war for the coercion Of the
States. Wrong then, it only required
one step to take him into the camp Of
the enemy, and that step was taken
at the Montgomery county cOnven-
ton, and the politicians followed the
false departure.
We predict that the Democratic
ticket in Ohio will be defeated next
fall by a larger majority than they
have been since 1868. So much for
policy.

SOME years ago, when the possible
ity Of building the Selma road was
questioned, it was asserted that Mem
phis should devote its wealth solely
TO the construction Of roads leading
South or West. Very truthfully, il
was said that such Southern and
Western roads would exert an ire
sistible force In drawing 10 Memphis
great trunk lines from the North and
East. The APPEALS publication Of
facts showing that the road from this
city to Selma win be speedily conf
pleted, viii exert such an influence
upon railroad managers at Kansas
City and beyond the Ohio. This Selma
road alone, ifnO other came into Men,
phis, would enrich, by freights and
travel, the Paducah, st. Louis,
Chicago and eastern roads now
contemplating the construction Of
a bridge across the Ohio at
Paducah. Even more anxious must
be the owners Of roads convepging at
Indianapolis to secure access over the
