We copy the following from the Shreve-
port Telegram Of the twenty first instant;
The proposition made to the Board of
Trade last night by Colonel Thomas A..
Scott, TO make Shreveport the great dis
uibuting point of all the supplies required
in the construction Of the Texas Pacific
railroad across the continent, for the simple
donation by our city of two fractional
blocks Of ground convenient to the termi-
nus of the road here, is one that our citi
Zens will not fail to avail themselves of, and
the immense benefits likely to accrue there
from. The completion of our eastern con
nection via Monroe is q matter Of first i'm
pOrtance, upon which we shall set up much
type hereafter 1t is not the one we prefer,
for we have a strong inclination for the city
of the Egyptian maine, Memphis. That
will come soon, if not soon enough. The
part of the proposition which we now write
about is that which asks of the city sufficient
ground on the river front for the landing
of material, men, etc, necessary tor the
prosecution of the great work to the Pacific
This should be accepted promptly and with
out hesitation. The immense advantages
to accrue recommend it. Besides, some
thing very substantial is due to an enter
prise that may, with proper exertion, make
Shreveport one of the distributing centres
of the vast trade which the Texas Pacific
railroad will open up on Southern line be-
tween Asia and Europe. Already an English
company, composed of Britain's largest cap
italists and her first statesmen, propose to
place numerous lines of steamers to ply be-
tween San Diego, Japan, China, Hindostan,
Australia, and the islands of 0ceanica IN
the Pacific, and between New Orleans and
European ports. This is due to the pros
poets of the speedy completion of the Texas
Pacific railroad, and to the fears begOtten
in England of a division of trade on account
of the Suez canal, and the steady eneroach.
fnents Of Russia. Without saying more at
present, we heartily recommend the aecep
lance of the proposition.

How TO LIVE LONG.-They
live longest, as class, who
lead calm and even lives, men
tally and physically; who are
most exempt from the turmoiIs
and shocks and strains which
are incident to human exist
ence, ana who are assured of
to-morrow's bread. There is
nothing, aside from the bless
edness OF, an implicit reliance on
the Providence Of God, which
has such a direct influence in
promoting longevity as an as
surance, felt to be we'll groun-
ded, of a comfortable provision
for life, for all the ordinary
wants of our station. Not long
ago a man died in a poor-house
in England. where be had been
taken care Of for ninety years ;
he had no anXietieS for to-mor-
rows bread: he had no quar-
ter's day to provide against in
default of which wife and chill
dren would be turned into the
street from the doors of the. ele-
giant brown stone mansion.
He had no notes to meet in
bank, which if not paid by a
day and an hour would involve
protest and financial ruin. All,
this load ofdebt, how, it grinds
ones manhood to powder; how
it agonizes the sensitive heart ;
how it shameS mans honor !;
how it has driven to despera-
ton to drunkenness, to suicide,
to murder! How the anguish
of it takes the energy and
health out of a man, and makes
him pine and languish for
weary days and weeks on beds
of thorns, which pierce through
the body, into the soul
So, one good way to avoid
sickness aud premature death
is to avoid debt as you would

ILLINOIS AND THE PRESIDEN-
TIAL QUESTIoN.-It is with no
little satisfaction that we learn
Of the informal approval by
the Democratic Central Com
mittee of Illinois of the propo-
sition of a retirement of the
Democracy from the Presiden-
tial contest. The committee
met at Springfield on the 9th
for purposes of business, and
took no official action on this
question but an interchange
of views showed that the mem
berS were unanimously in IA
vor of the proposal recommen-
ded in the Missouri Democrat
ic address; and that prominent
Democrats from various parts
of the State, who were in con-
sultatiOn with the committee,
were emphatic in their endorse
ment Of the scheme.
This commentator from a
Democracy which still holds
to the principles OF Douglas,
and, which detects the true
method of securing the power
full vote of Illinois against
Grant, possesses much signifi-
canoe. The plan has now met
the virtual approval of the
party IN two Western States
whose Democrats are not be-
hind those of any other State

tional truths and rights and if

The peculiar disposition of

nial of justice to those wards
of the nation. Let the black
man have ever 50 good a case,

ingly clary Of bringing suit for

paid for his work, and diSlikes
extremely to have to pay his

must depend first on the mer-

the honesty and good sense of
