ter CLAIMS that the Texas and Pacific
hes Forfeited ItS Rights.
WASHINGTON, May EX-SENATOR La
mar replied briefly 10 Senator John.
ston's address before the Senate Rail-
road Committee yesterday. He could
not see that because the Texas Pacific
needed Government aid TO build l40O
miles Of road through an uninhabited
region, that therefore II could not build
without aid, as II was charged It could
not, the short link ofl50 miles between
Shreveport and the Mississippi river.
That link, through q rich and populous
country, could we'll be built ct once,
and be 3 fortunate investment, but II
would not promote the building Of the
great trans.continental highway con.
Meeting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans
on Q southern latitude. The Senator
admitted last year be had promoted q
compromise bill intended to incorpo.
rate the Southern and Texas Pacific
Companies, in order to get rid Of the
opposition Of the Central Pacific,
which was determined to prevent con.
troll BY any company not In their own
interest Of the western terminus, but
discovering then what the Senator
from Virginia will discover now, that
ell such attempts led only to obstruc.
ton and indefinite postponement Of the
great end sought, be has abandoned
them. The Johnston bill proposes, he
said, q direct contribution by the Gov.
eminent of twenty million dollars in
greenbacks. The Texas Pacific asks
not q dollar Of money from the public
treasury. The difference, therefore, in
expense to the Government lie as be.
tween two millions aud nothing in
favor of the Texas and Pacific. Senator
Lamar claimed that there had been q
forfeiture Of the rights of the Texas
and Pacific Company.

VIcKsBURG, May .. ISIS.
Rdltor Herald:
That remarkable mixture of ele.
ments known az the Third Ward OF
the city Of Vicksburg, seems never able
10 harmonic on the eve Of an cleo.
ton. While the citizens Of ell the other
Wards seem to have been perfectly sat
ished with the plan Of having the
names OF all the candidates before the
public 60 that each voter may make
his own selection and vote for the men
OF his choice, It suddenly happens that
q few friends Of some disappointed
candidate, finding that be has no
chance before the people, conceive the
wonderful idea that the only way to
retain the political prestige Of the
white people 10 10 call . nominating
convention.
This is the most ridiculous PROPOSE
ton that has ever been seriously offer
cd for the consideration of the intelli.
gent people Of Vicksburg-pretend-
Ing that the effort Of candidates to
secure as many votes of the colored
people 81 possible 10 giving too much
political prestige to the colored voter
in face OF the fact that the whites have
registered majority in each Ward Of
the city, and q total majority Of 46S in
the whole city.
And now when the names Of all the
andidates have been before the pub
lie to within ten days Of The election
when every voter has made up BIZ
mind who shall be the men Of BIZ
choice, VIC are seriously asked to give
up this right Of selection and have tel
or q dozen men sent from each Ward tC
meet and make selections for US.
There is no organized opposition in
the field. The colored vote vas never
more divided than at present, aud theiI
only intention ia 10 exercise the right
10 make selection among the white
candidates announced, jssI as the white
people expect to do. All the candi'
dates announced in the papers are az
good Democrats 81 any Convention
can select, and the people don't intend
to give up their preferences in this
matter to crafty 8 dozen or so of dis
appointed friends Of some candidate
who has just begun to realize that his
chances before the people are growing
'Smaller by degrees and beautifully
less." No, sirl For nee we intend to
zee what the votes Of the people can
do In selecting good and competent
officials, and we don't intend to risk
the packing Of Ward meeting to
send delegates to . packed Convention
TO defeat the will Of the people.
