According to advertisement in the
Press and in the newspapers of New York,
New Orleans, San Francisco, and Texas,
the stockholders Of the Texas Pacific rail-
road company, Wednesday afternoon met
at the rooms of the Trans-continental COM
pany, No. III Warren street, New York,
and elected their directors, over $4,000 of
the 20 900 shares being represented.
The Executive Committee is as follows
Thomas A. Scott, president; Edwards
Pierrepont, Henry G.. Stebbins, George W.
Cass, W. 7. Walters, and VIM. r. Trav-
srs-and Marshall 0. Roberts ex-officio
president.
The permanent officers are: MarshallO o.
Roberts, president; Henry G. Stebbins,
vice president Edwards Pierrepont, trea-
surer and Hon. E. B. Hart, secretary.
The bill under which the organization
which is destined to have so much effect
upon the future of the South and the whole
country, operates, was passed by Congress
on the Sd OF March, 1871, and was prompt
" sigoed by the President. 1t grants
twenty sections Of land to the mile through
New Mexico and Arizona, and ten sections
to the mile through California to the Bay
of San Diego, California. Its length from
MARSHALL, Harrison county, near the eastern
line of Texas, to the bay and town of San
Diego, California, is about 1,444 miles I;
from Philadelphia to San Diego, via In
dianapoIis, Cairo, Texarkana (Texas), and
Ell Paso, about 1850, and from New York
about 2,94O. This distance is some five
hu.drai rr,iIas lees from Naw York than
by either of the other Pacific routes. The
line passes through one Of the most fertile
countries on the earth.
The climate is moderate and equal all
the year round. The road can be built for
fifty per cent. less than the Union or Cen
trail Pacific. 1t traverses the richest cotton
and grazing fields on the GLOBE It's min
eral wealth is incalculable, opening up as
it must the treasures of old Mexico, and
it can be used every day in the year, being
uninterrupted by SHOWS and frost.
We regard this magnificent work as the
completest act Of reconstruction of the
age, and as certain to do more for the
South than any and all the laws of Con-
gress. 1t is theme upon which we shall
dilate fully hereafter. Press.
