The rapacity Of Grants relations and

their malignant attacks on the distin-

permitted their rage to overcome the die

man who left his country for his coun-

A Little History.

Our attention has been called ~ the fact
that the Legislature of 1859 passed an act.
approved February s, 1859, permitting the
Memphis and Little Rock and Little Rock and
Fort smith railroad companies to consolidate
into unr company. to be known as the Central
Pacific Railroad company. Hon Jesse Turn
or, OF Van Buren,, was the first 10 suggest this
idea. ana Col. John Robertson, President, and
Col sam. W Williams, lone of the Directors
OF the Memphis road. prepared the act author
izing the consolidation. There IL rested until
1856. when Col Robertson and Col. Williams
were appointed by the directors Of the Nem-
ph> road to draw up articles of fconsoldation.
with Chas. G Scott jesse Turner !. II Ila-
ney and Capt Philip Pennywit of tho Fort
smith road. The agreement was ratified by
the Fort Smith company, but rejected by the
Msmphi, stockholders. 80 hat it will be seen
that two years prior to 1850 this consolidation
project which has just been perfected. was
agitated, and that Hon jesse Turner OF Van
Buren. was the author Of the original idea.
The above, from the Little Rock Daily Ga
Sefte OF the 7th, gives to Hon. JESSE TURNER,
of Van Barren, the credit due Him, of first sug-
gesting, in 1850, a consolidation OF the Mem
phis aud Little Rock, and Little Rock and TT,
Smith Railroads. under the name ofthe Gen
tral Pacific Railroad" No man took a more
lively interest in advancing this great work
for Western Arkansas, than Mr. TURNER. and
although. now, having no official interest in
tho Road, has rs warm and as earnest awill TO
see 1t accomplished rs ever. And We are glad
to know that there Is so good prospect OF

The True Theory Of 0faeial Distribution

The ls.;er, says the ST, Louis Times,
of Mr.. Hubbard, Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Connecticut. addressed
to the late " German Reform conven-
ton at Hartford, expresses the correct
principle by which the distribution OF
Offices in this country should be govern
ed. One Of the resolutions OF the con
vention was this:
"Since German interests can only be
properly guarded by German representa-
tion, We claim share in public offices
and honors proportional to the humber
Of German citizens in the United States.
To this, Mr.. Hubbard responds as fol.
lows:
II suppose you mean by this that in
the distribution Of office no citizen
should be prescribed on account of ma
tionality. agree to this entirely.
"The law, in my judgment, should
know no difference between the home
born and the foreign born. Both should
become blended in one in the civil state.
Political associations, intermarriagc, and
common social and educational life
will before long bring out all Of us who
are OF common race to forget from
what loins we sprang, rejoicing in the
greater honor OF American citizenship.
What say Of the administration Of
law | say also Of the distribution of Of
fee. No citizen has title TO office. He
10 most worthy of it who is most honest
and best qualified. If Carl Shurz or
Charles O'Conor are the best men in the
State, let them have the honors Of the
State, and not because they happen to be
foreign born or otherwise, but for the
single reason that they are best qualified
1t is time we had stopped peddliug out

In the early part Of the year 1865 the Four
