The Times urges upon our citizens the great
and present need Of railroad to Texas, and
the great help 1t would be to New Orleans if We

says;
The New Orleans Pacific road would pass
through tn ckly sette.i country along it, who.e
route except through the Grand River ewamps
i5 miles, and would penetrate the grtat cOL6
and gram region OF Texas. II proper aid weie
given TO buIld tnIS road 1t would bring millions
1f busnels OF grain mere in the spring OF 1877 ia
addition to its other freights.
The Ames road would penetrate Central Texes
and tap The extensive railroad system OF Texss
conc ntrated at Houston. This would be tte
great cattle route and would give US chea
meat. The people OF New Orleans would save
enough in two years in meat alone to LAY for
both these roads
Our nelghbor holds M the columns Of the
Republican TO the admiration OF the world Is
containing the finest examples of sarcasm and
