THE Southern Pacific Railroad Conven-
'tion was recently held in st. Louis, at
which delegates were in attendance from
twenty -seyen States and Territories. Reso-
lutions were adopted to the effect that
Southern transconiine railway from
the Mississippi. 1ia FL Paso, is imper-
atively demanded, and giving the several
reasons why such road should be con-
tructed; that extensions Of and connections
with the Texas & Pacific Road should be
built from the most eligible points to New
Orleans, Memphis and Vicksburg; and
from point near the 103d meridian to
Vinita in order to reach the Missis-
sippi River and to connect with
every road and harbor on the At
lantic coast; that the construction of such
q line and branches can be best Sc
cured by the extension of Government
aid 10 such line and branches in the form
ofa guarantee of interest, not principal,
on a limited amount of per cent con-
struction bonds, payable in fifty years, so
that the entire liability assumed shall not
in any event exceed $4,000 per mile per
annum, nor the interest ON the actual cost
Of the line and said branches. Provisions
were made by the convention for an adj
dress in this behalf to the people of the
United States and to the President and
