will the freights of the Northwest be

section as we'll. And this will be the
case, notwithstanding afterwards the
w. N. @. Road may be completed
through the counties, because the
southern route will furnish q shoi ter
line to a market from this point, than
the w. N. G. Road could offer. Now,
as this southern route is the cheaper,
more accessible, not attended with
troubles of either a friendly (?) or legal
sort, and considering the interests OF
our own magnificent cities, Whining

gentlemen whose names head this let-
ter. and to the real friends Of both
cities, if it Is not far better to give
this matter immediate attention, and
prefer this route to all others?
And by proper united efforts. by
utilizing the Penitentiary convicts and
other State resources, the road west
of A neville, known as the Ducktown
Road, can be very rapidly and success
fully pushed through. And then
would be opened to the trade of the
world one of the grandest and richest
sections, Gn natural resources, miner

Our people want railroad facilities.
They are tired of being trifed with,

specially delighted to have direc.

NEW SENATORS.

Iu Michigan and Nebraska, the reg
ular Republican nominees for United
States Senators have been defeated by
a combination of Democrats and Con-
servative- Republicans.
In Michigan, Isaac P. Christiancy,
who defeats Chandler, has been for
seventeen years one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court, and part Of the
time Chief Justice, to which position
he was elected twice by the unani-
nous votes of both parties. In poll
tics he was originally Democrat, but
has been Free-Soiler and r publ
can. He is sixty-thrse years of age.
He is conservative on Constitutional
questions and a man of marked
ability.
In Nebraska Algernon Sydney Pad
dock has been elected to succeed SEN
ator Upton. He is about forty years
of age, and is distantly related to
Gideon Wells and General and Senator
Sherman.
Mr.. Paddock has been a resident of
Nebraska since 1856, living at Fort
Calhoun, from which place heremoved
to Omaha few years ago, where he
resided until last year, when he re-
moved to Beatrice. He was appointed
Governor of Wyoming in 1858, but
withdraw owing TO there being no an
preparation to defray the expenses OF
the Territorial Government.
He is Conservative Republican.
His election was secured mainly as q
compromise between the opponents OF
the strongest Republican candidate,
General Thayer.
The Democrats of these States have
just cause to congratulate themselves
upon the result of their Senatoria,
elections.

LOUISIANA-TH REMEDY.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, ir..
writes to The Nation as follows con-
corning the Louisiana problem .'But
what is to be- done to-day One thing
1 can see, and only one, can be done
Let the Conservative Legislature OF
Louisiana give solemn notice to the
whole world that they are now sub
jected by force to usurpation, every
act of which is null and void. and shall
be so treated hereafter. Let them
publicly declare that so surely as the
day of relief comes. every debt con-
tracted by the usurping government
shall be repudiated, every tax title is
sued set aside. Let them in one word
publish to the world the existing ad-
ministration of the State as fraud, by
no act of which will the people of
Louisiana be bound, as soon as they
are restored to the control of their
own affairs. This one solemn notice
given, let the Conservative Legisla-
ture hold up its hands in submission
and disperse; the rest may be safely
left to the people of the whole coun-
try. Two years is a short time, when
at the expiration of it relief is sure.
During that brief time let no Consery-
ative of Louisiana go to the polls or
enter a legislative hall; the worse their
oppression, the better. Let them sim.
ply submit. They need not fear
that day of reckoning will not come;
and then the Government of the
United States and all public opinion
will justify them in treating their pres
ant rulers as criminals and each and
every of their official acts as absolute
y and ab iiaitio null and void"

BayOnets Actually Controlling
COnRress.

The following letter was recently

contains some very startling facts
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 18th, 1875.
Hon. A. G.. Thurman
Dear Sir-7he 6ayOnet has at last
been used to control Congress itself !
The enclosed, clipped from the New
Orleans Republican, shows truly "the
objective point" for which the Liberties
of a once sovereign State have been
throttled. The question has really be-
come a national one. The political
complexion of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture will determine the right of two
Senators to their seats in the Forty
fifth Congress, making a difference of
four votes in favor of the political
party electing them. So that in eject
ing the Democratic members of the
Legislature from the State House, the
Radical party or government-the
terms are synonymous-have, at the
point of the bsyonet displaced two
Democratic United States Senators.
Very respectfully.

FEW VOICES OF APPROVAL

It is a remarkable fact that the
President, in his late course toward
Louisiana, has received the unquali-
fed approval of only one important
body of Republicans, the Connecticut
Republican Convention Just held
This body declared "That we have
undiminished confidence in the integ-
rity and patriotism of President Grant:
we heartily indorse his recent special
message to the Senate OH the Louisi-
ana question and the principles con-
tanned therein" OF the various Re
publican: Legislatures in session, not
one has given the President words Of
appreciation; and dispatch announc-
ing that the Kansas Republican eau
Gus have resolved to indorse him, does
not constitute an important exception
Republican leagues and clubs through
out the country either dodge the sub
iect or adopt resolutions praising tie
President in terms so faint that they
amount to condemnation. Hereto
fore when the President, as the head
of the Republican party, took any i'm
portaut step, especially in Southern
affairs it has been the custom of his
political friends in Legislatures and
other associations to support him un-
hesitatingly. At every former crisis
he could always rely on these express
ions of confidence. But at this, the
most critical juncture of his official
life, he is cheered by few approving
voices, and those almost exclusively
belong to the men who hold Office un-
der him. The Louisiana outrage is as
warmly denounced by fair-minded
Republicans as by Democrats, and
this is one of the most encouraging
signs of the future

Many Of US have cause to rejoice
that we are not old Romans. In their

could be brought before the peo-
pie on three market days, on the last
of which his body could be cut into
pieces according to thenumber of cred
tors; or, if they preferred, he could be
sold into foreign slavery.

tive, explained he had hoped there
would be not even the slightest evil
dence of politics in this matter, that
he did not believe there was in the
resolutions; they were proper de-
nunciation of an infringement of a
great Constitutional right, but as the
discussion had been entered into fully
by Democrats he did not think it right
thus to cut off the minority.

The bonds OF care discover,
And pluck the roses while you may

Doth love consume with peusive WOO
Thy heart whence hope has heeted-

They never could have heatedi

Be wise as well rs clover,
And learn q nobler lore than grief
Tia better late than never

And many hero there has been
Who mover drew q sabre.

How perilous soever,
And win some glory for thy litei
'Tis better late than never
Or hast thou, worn In folly's wars
Forgot the land that bloometh
Box ond the cedars and the stars,
Where sorrow never cometh
oh, do not for phantom hy
From Paradis, for ever.
But turn thy Trusting eyes on high
It's better late than never!
Great Lord of Heaven Creations hing:
Whose vineyard open lies,
Thou deemest not q worthless thing
Mans tardy eacrihcei
Still ssnctify the work we've wrought
And every fond endeavor.
This blessed creed Thyself hast taught
IT'S better late than never!
