ADDRESS
TO TIE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES BY
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND REPREsE MIA

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES BIZ
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND REPREsE MIA
TIvEs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The Demo-
cratic members from the South and
Southwest have prepared ON address to
the people OF the Southern States, in
which they call attention TO the persis-
tent attempts of Republican leaders to
revive the animosities of the late war,
the effect of which efforts, they say, it
is impossible to predict. The address
says: /" We believe that through the
honest representations of few upright
conscientious federal officers and agents,
ON independent and able press, and OF
many citizens, without regard to party,
the true condition of the Southern
States and the real sentiments of the
Southern people are being gradually
made known to our fellow-citzens Of
the North, and we hope for their favor
able decision when fully appraised Of all
the facts. The great end Of good gov
eminent will be reached when the. peo-
pie OF oil sections forget that we have
been enemies and come together as in
the early days Of the Republic, emuiat-
ing each other in devotion to the best
interests of the country" With this
exalted purpose in view, the signers of
the address counsel patience and mod
Grafton under unjust epithets and gratu-
itous insults, and urge kind treatment
to the negro, remembering that he is
not so much responsible as the bad
men under whose advice he acts, and
while laboring to CONVINCE him that his
interests are identical with those OF the
whites, to see that he is fully protected
in oil his guaranteed rights, and al
lowed to vote as he pleases in all cleo
tions, and to deal with him fairly; they
are admonished TINT all disorders and
troubles of whatsoever, character are
construed into evidence of lawlessness;
and while this is palpably unjust, they
are urged to make all efforts TO prevent
them. They, appeal to them to use
Performance and patience in view OF the
enlightened sentiment Of the, country,
which is with them. and the result must
be their final vindication and triumph
OF theprinciples of right and justice.
The address is signed by all the Dem.
ocratic Senator's aud Representatives OF
the Southern and border States. x +

A FORTUNATE INVESTMENT. The In
tel'igencer alludes to the purchase and
sale of the Tacoma Mill property by
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co.,
whereby they lost q cool $40, 900, as the
" best investment the magnates of that
incorporation made in that locality, as
it had some intrinsic value to it, and
they were enabled to get back about
one-tbird what it cost them when obliged
to SELL" But for the half million dol
lars foolishly expended in other invest
ments and improvements there, says
that journal, which are becoming more
worthless every day, they could not
obtain ten cents on the dollar. y

A HAsTY ENDORSEMENT. The mteli-

A HAsTY ENDORSEMENT Mtelli-
gencer, edited by lawyer who expects
to practice before the new judge of the
Third Judicial District, soon as the pro-
motion of Judge Lewis was made known,
declared that " the people of the Terri
tory had reason to be gratifed with the
appointment" ard styled it the most
"judicious selection" that could have
been made. The sequel shows that he
really did not know what he was
talking about; that the desire to place
himself in favorable light before the
court, led him into an endorsement so
extravagant that, even without the
recent developments relating to the
Judges unftness for the position, it APP
peared ridiculous to all who read it.
The following extract is from the Walla-
walla Union, staunch Republican pa
per published where the Judge is best
known. 1t will be observed that it is
the stroke of paw with the claws con-
cealed: ------------------
"Six hundred of our citizens have petitioned
for the removal of Judge Lewis, and we
presume they will not care particularly
whether he be removed from the bench en-
tirely or simply from the bench of this Dis
trct. new Judge here is what they really
want, and if Judge Wingard comes here their
prayer will have been answered in effect,
and we of this District will have nothing to
complain of. And the people of the Seattle
District may take more kindly to the new
Judge, and he more kindly to them than has
been the case here. But If not they will be
in no worse condition than we have been for
some time, and while our people bear them
no malice, and do not wish to be thought
selfish or unsympathizing, still their troubles
are nothing to us. So if this change be made
our people will be satisfied, but II not, why
then we are in just as bad fix rs before
although we are glad to say we will be in no
worse"
This is the "judicious selection
while such consistent, old-line Repub-
licans as Evans, Mcknight and Fetch
er are set aside by it, The htelligencer's
comments are an insult to these gentle
men, and scores of others equally well
qualified to fill the office.

COMMUNICATED.


Messrs. Editors Il ste in the BEA-
CON the names of several prominent men
presented to the voters of st. Mary's
county as eat didates fer the Senate, to
fill the unex1 fred term Of our late la
mented Senator. These gentlemen, I
hare no doubt, have claims upon the
Democratic party to entitle them to
much consideration; but if we will take
an impartial view of the surrounding
circumstances, think We will plainly
see that this remnant of honor fairly
and Justly belongs to another, in whose
behalf will state the following facts ::
When Col. Billingsley first became a
candidate for the Senate, the leading
democrats of the county gave him very
little encouragement, while many de-
nounced his course as being calculated
to break down the entire chance of sue
cess of the party, that it would be the
means of drawing strict party lines and
thus unite the dissatisfied Republicans,
who, in their turn, were growing with a
loud goo-hoo- hoo-de-de over the expec-
ted result. At this critical point of af-
fairs, Col Billingsley plunged into the
chaos and cried, ION Stanley, on
"Who dares leap with me into this an
CRY food and swim to yonder point Of
success or sink forever into oblivion z"
Did any one do it Yes, Mr.. Thos.
H. Bond did pitch in" and fought,
and with what success your readers well
know. Now, under these surroundings,
1 ask is there a man among us more
entitled to fill the unexpired term of
Col. Billingsley (who now sleeps with
the silent dead) than Mr.. Bond I
have known the Bond family for over
thirty years. and their record as honest,
upright and energetic politicians are
unsurpassed, and I think this young
Bond promises TO be as prominent as
his ancestors, for he seems to enter the
political field with untiring and unaba-
ted energy.

THE PROPOSED CoALING STATION ON
THE ST.. MARY's.-Colonel Smoot, the
President Of the Southern Maryland
Railroad, has received letter from Mr..
j. NJ. Vernon, of Montreal Canada, in
which he says:
You ask my "views on the Southern
Maryland Railroad as an outlet for the
grain from the West, and the coal from
the Maryland and Pennsylvania mines"
Sc, &c.
have examined the location of this
road very carefully in regard to- the
tndA and commerce of the country, as
welI To- Importance Is an
absolute tScessity for the development
Of the great natural resources of that
portion Of Maryland between the District
Of Columbia and the Chesapeake Bay.
It is the most attractive outlet on
this side Of the Atlantic for CON-
merce. It occupies the middle zone,
between the products of the South and
the great West. Here ships may load
at all seasons of the year with mixed,,car-
goes, which are the most remunerative
and safest, and therefore the most pro-
fitable to shipowners.
Taking all things ia connection with
this road into consideration, / believe
the st. Mary's would become the great
coaling depot of the United States Ma
w. The security of navigation to this
point, and the cheapness of coal, would
no doubt induce foreign men-of-war to
coal there. Merchant steamers will also
be attracted to this trade BY the facili-
ties offered for cheap fuel and very low
harbor dues and great depth of water
for the largest ships.
If the st. Mary's is made a great coal
depot, supplied at the cheapest rates by
railroad and water, no vessel of war
could afford to navigate the Potomac
to Washington for coal or munitions
of war. Coal can be delivered on board
a vessel at the st. Mary's for about
fifty cents on the price at Washington.
and much cheaper than in New York.
No war vessel Of any magnitude can
navigate the Potomac to and from
Washington for less than $1,000
A war vessel could take in a supply of
coal and be outside the Capes before
she could reach Washington.
In time of war this road would he
invaluable in consequence of the facili-
ties of ingress and egress to the Capital
and all other points. 1t would pay the
General Government to construct it as
q military necessity. The savings on
csal alone would pay more than the in
terest on the cost.
