When Tom Scott was before the House
Committee on Railways, Thursday, he pre-
sented reasons for the construction of the
Southern Pacific perfectly applicable to the
International He spoke of the great ad-
vantages to the whole country, but espe-
cially to States and districts through which
the road would be built, to result from the
demand for material and labor consequent
upon the construction Of the road and the
increased taxable values that would be cre-
ated to furnish revenue to the government,
The benefit to the South by giving all her

He also adverted to advantages to the
whole railroad system Of the South as well
as Of the East, to arise from the completion
Of the magnificent highway. Il was claimed
that the government would save millions Of
dollars yearly, now spent in the trnnsporta-
ton and subsistence Of troops. The gov

pany's bonds was shown to be thoroughly

WHO KILLED COCK ROBINa ,

Blaine says Grant has ruined the party
and Vice President Wilson concurs. These
! facts, and the almost universal condemna-
ton Of the Presidents Louisiana policy,
compel retraetion and apologies. Grant
ascribes the riots in which many negroes
were killed in New Orleans, some years ago,
to the ''spirit of rebellion" /" There were
riots Of the.same sort in Memphis and in
other places about the same time, and he
who ascrbes the slaughter Of negroes to
any political feeling or purpose, if honest,
is simply stupid. Secessionists, as such,
never dreamed of knocking the negro on the
head. In Memphis white laborers rose in
arms against black laborers and there were
few If any Americans, either in New Or
leans or Memphis engaged in the bloudy
business. This fact was sworn to by al
ing Republican citizens of the two cities
who were witnesses of terrible events ,Iat
saved many a woman from insult even on
the streets. Sambonever forgot the lesson,
and women and children have not since
been thrust from sidewalks into the gutter
as had often happened at the hands of
stupid negroes illustrating, as they fancied,
equality under the law" The moral effect
was excellent, but the press and native peo-
pie of these cities condemned the violence of
this new irrepressible conflict" in un-
measured terms. Negro churches were
burned by the infuria ted white foreign
rabble, but both Memphis and New Orleans
taxpayers have since built school houses
and churches for blacks in every ward of
both cities. Memphis taxpayers have been
especially generous to the sons of Ham and
of old John Brown; and, while his soul
still marches on under Grant and Sheridan's
banner, Grant himself, in message to the
Federal Congress, delivered only two days
ago, willfully and knowingly perverts facts
here recited, and sworn to by fifty witnesses
or more. This testimony was printed, widely
discussed and published long ago by Con-
gressional authority. Is Grant utterly igno-
rant2 Like Sheridan, does he know moth
ing and read nothingl or is he, as Andrew
johnson, alleges, simply liar9 We don't
like to use that vulgar word, often as hurt
full to him who uses it as to him addressed.
But how, otherwise, can one learn what the
country wishes to knowg Does the Presi-
dent of the United States know nothing of
current history, or, maddened by the result
of his disgraceiul acts in New Orleans, does
he resort tolies in order to wreak vengeance
on the Southl
