The Baltimore Gazette says: Nearly
every leading paper i'll the South aud
Southwest advocates the passage Of
the bill to aid the Texas Pacific rail
road, and there is scarcely public
man of any consequence i'll that por
tion of the Union who does not staGd
upon the same side. As a matter OF
simple justice to the South the bill
ought to be passed. Its only oppo-
nents arc the organs of the northern,
eastern and Pacific slope monopolists,
who are endeavoripg to hold the enor-
n Gus franchises they have obtained.
A vote against the bill is vote against

eldest son ut Fort Wagner, where he
was "buried with his niggers,' and
twelve years have not much softened
the bitterness of the sacrifice; when,

Grant towards those with whom he has

that your words have done much good
in thousand Northern homes, and
that many father, mother and sister
feels more kindly towards the South
than they did a month ago.

derive from the patriotic utterances of
