Republican Presidential Out
look.

The general tone of the press
throughout the country indicates
the formidable looming-up of the
third term spook. Grant will meet
with strenuous opposition, but it is
admitted on all hands that he is the
only prominent man in the party
who has chung to the faith. He is
even denounced by leading republic
cans as a political abortion, and
some who have been his adherents
in the past go so far in their oppc-
sition as to denounce his admins
tration as failure. Notwithstand-
ing this falling off of his friends,
Grant has the start by full length
of any announced aspirants. He
has his horde of followers, who SUBJ
sist upon the teats of government
and have found him to be a perfect
milkman; and his pals, who rely
upon him to pardon them out of the
penitentiaries when their crimes
find him out; and his hosts of army
friends, who are yet gulled with old
war ideas and act from old war
memories; and finally, and by far
more formidably, his legions of ig-
norant adherents who see in him the
hero of battles, the savior of the
Union, the greatest leader in peace,
and in all conditions and times, the
synonym of success and prosperity.
1t is said that if Grant fails to get
the nomination that WashbuTne
would be his choice, but that he
looks upon Washburne's chances
as too slender to risk anything up
on, and so he viii take up Roscoe
Conkling and shove him through
the convention. Blaine and Conk-

ling are mortal enemies, and it IS
feared that if Grant persists in hav-
ing either Washburne or Conkling
foisted upon the party as a stand
ard-bearer that it will split the
party. Fred Grant is reported to
have said in conversation at the
White House the other day that
his father did not want another
term and would not have it if the
Cincinnati convention decreed him
the nomination. but Boss Shepherd
don't believe that Fred ever said
this and he expresses contrary
views. The Boss is near and
dear friend OF the President. and
his ideas of what the Presidents
ideas are deserve more considera-
ton than thoughless young Fred's.
Fred also expressed high admira
ton for Conkling, and it is known
that he only itterates his fathers
]
views in this matter. Blaine's friends
insist that he is formidable every
where but at the South and in Nor
toms immediate precinct, but it is
pretty certainly estimated that he
lost his head at Andersonyille the
other day. Morton's bloody-shirt
won't retain the gore and it is
equally as confidently asserted that
his strength will come only from
men who will so disgust the conven-
ton with their bowls for more rebe
blood that he will be kicked out
without mercy. Bristow is uni
versally recognized as the most
powerful man for good the party
could pick up, but the party aim
hunting around now for honesty
and for men who can do the mos
good, and the very mention of Bris
tow's name is a terror to them
Grant, Washburne, COnkling, Blaine
Morton, Bristow. Grant has thu
bulge; Washburne can't come it
Conkling can't harmonic the wings
Blaine overshot the mark and fel
back in it; Morton has howled him
self out of breath; Bristow has to-
much bloodhound in him: Between
all of them, Grant is certainly il
the fore, and likely to keep it unles
some big job is gotten up to dan
the current, so that some other maj
may launch out without danger o
getting his texas stove in. 'Ral
for Grant!

Think and Answer.

The business men and property
holders of jackson should consider
intelligently and literally the future
of the city. They SHOULD ask them
selves and answer the following
questions: What makes real estat e
investments valuable? What makes
real estate mercantile Establishments
profitable? What gives life and Wig
or to enterprise? What makes bus
mess lively and remunerative? When
these questions are considered and
answered then our property holders
and business men will be ready
and willing to meet the Knox
vile and Memphis railroad at the
Tennessee river Jackson Sun.

The Muscle shoals Canal.
To the Americana

To the American.
Decatur, Ala, Feb. 17.-Among
the most notable of all the internal
improvements now going on in the
United States is the opening of the
canal around Muscle Shoals in the
Tennessee river, between Decatur
and Florence, Ala, the entire length
of which is twenty seven miles. At
the last session of Congress an APP
preparation of 100000 dollars
was made for the purpose of com
mencing this great enterprise, and
there are, at this writing, not less
than nine hundred men employed in
the work.
Nine miles are to be completed by
the Ist Of June, 1876. Messrs. Ford
& Co., have the contract on section
one; Messrs. Foster We'll & Co., on
section two; Messrs. NJ. @. Kenne-
dy & Co., on sections three, four five
and six, and Messrs. Reed d Rice,
on section seven. All the above
named contractors are thorough go
ing, enterprising men. They will,
without doubt fulfil their engage
ments with the government, and in
the end turn over to navigation a
canal twelve feet in depth and eigh-
ty feetin width, the stability of which
none will ever question.
The people Of Middle Tennessee.
North Alabama, Northern ATissis-
sippi, and, in fact, ali along the line
of the river, have long desired and
anxiously awaited the action of the
Government in the matter; and,
now that the work has actually be-
gun, feel greatly cheered at what
will be the probable results ofits
completion. Lands which have
hitherto been held at a nominal price
are gradually increasing in value
and will ere long rival in value those
of the Ohio valley The immense
supplies ofrock and timber viii also
invite capital and open up a chan
mel of trade. The towns Florence
and Decatur, and especially the lat
ter will grow in population and
wealth, and viii, if I am allowed to
predict, become the great manufae-
turing towns of the south. LEON.

The Masonic celebration at Gull
leoka, Feb. 22nd, was a grand affair,
the Commandery, Chapter and Blue
Lodge were all we'll represented.
The procession formed at the Ma
sonic hall at ii a. NJ. and marched
TO the inspiring strains of martial
music, discoursed by the Columbia
Hellicon band, to the Methodist
church, after which Sir Knight j.
ID. Rich ardson OF Murfreesboro was
introduced to the large and anxious
audience. His address was equal
TO che expectations and fully sus-
tanned his high reputation as an
orator of tho first rank. After the
address and installation, the crowd
marched to the hall where me inner
man was provided for, in a bounti-
full and luxuriant style, in keeping
with the fame of the generous com
munity of Culleoka. AfterS, dinner
the Commandery was drilled under
Sir Knight Robt. A. Mitchell OF
Giles. 1t was a grand day, aud a
complete success in every respect.
Long live the good ard generous
citizens of Culleoka.

Another army is about TO invade
the South. Our people may prepare
for the invasion, and to welcome
the invaders-not as they aid in
1861, to hospitable sgrave--but to
homes among us. They come not
with grape shot and cannon, with
sword and fire; bat with the nipple
ments of industry and the spirit of
peace and progress. The pillow and
pruning hook, the reaper and the
mower, the spindle and the loom,
will be their implements of invasion,
and we conjure the people of the
south to welcome them cordially.
They are not carpet baggers and
scallawags. They are not adven-
turers who follow in the track of
conquering armies to rob and OPP
press the people, but they are the
sturdy yeomanry of the north, who
seek milder climate and better in
vestments. The day of our pros
perity is about to dawn after a very
dark night, Let us be patient a
little longer and all will be well.

TEXAS PACIFIC r.. r.
A Word in It's Favor From an
Unexpected Source.
IUhicago Inter-Ocean, -8th. /

1t appears that the bill tc provide
for Government aid to the great
project, by the guarantee of the in
terest on the Texas Pacific Railroad
Company, is at last in a fair way
of getting before Congress in an
Ineligible shape. 1t appears that
all the Texas Pacific Company will
ask is that the United States shall
guarantee that the Texas Pacific
Company will pay the 5 per cent.
annual interest on their bonds lis
sued at the rate of not more than
$4,000 per mile of road finished)
for a period of twenty-five years.
The Government, however, is not
asked to guarantee the payment
of the principal of the bonds, and
not even to guarantee the interest
beyond twenty-five years. This is
a very different and less dangerous
obligation than that assumed by
the Government in the indorse-
ment of the Union Pacific bonds,
and in the present condition of com
mercial and financial interest in this
country the Government could well
afford to assume twice as great an
obligation for the sake of helping
to set the industrial machinery in
motion again, as well as to aid a
great enterprise which will open a
richer country than that opened by
the Union Pacific. 1t is to be re
gretted-and yet perhaps is IN
avoidable-that the project will
come before Congress somewhat in
the character of a political party
scheme, and also of a sectional in
terest, as it will be- introduced and
most strongly advocated bySouthern
Democrats; and for this reason it
is to be feared that the opposing
pecunfary interests in the other Pa
cilic roads will bring every influence
to bear TO make it unpopular with
the Republicans. 1t is possible,
however, that this will be so plain
that it will have just the reverse
effect from that intended. But
aside from these partisan and sec
tional interests, the Texas Pacific,
if completed, would be of sufficient
benefit to the nation at large to
fully justify all the Endorsement the
projectors propose to ask. Even
if the Government should guarantee
the interest on SIOO,0OO,OOO OF
bonds for the completion of both
the Texas and Northern Pacific,
and even if the Government should
be Obliged to pay the interest fol
ten years the 100000 per annum
thus paid out would be more than
balanced by the stimulation of in
dustry that would result from the
work. There is good reason for
thinking that the Texas Pacific
Company stands fair chance Of
getting the required government aid
and it should, this circumstance
together with the stimulating effect;
of the Centennial Exhibition, vii
make 1876 year of revival of in
dustrial interests in the United
States.

Gonzales (Texas) Index Feb.11:
We went into the orchard of T. S.
Walker this week, and saw apples
growing upon several trees. Some
of these apples are about as large as
hen eggs, and still seem to be as
thrifty as if in the midst Of summer.
The fruit on Two trees is nearly ripe,
and in one or two weeks more will
be ready for gathering. These APP
pies are Of different varieties, one
the early June and the other the red
June. The trees bloomed out afte =
the fall rains commenced. We also
saw young pears, but they were not
so well matured as the apples.
