RnIIMnr FacIIIIIes.

No citizen of Vicksbnrg can doubt
the good more railway facilities would
do this city in commercial point OF
view. A railway up Deer Creek would
double the cotton business Of this city.
There is scarcely reasonable doubt OF
this. Deer Greek is long stream that
runs in a meandering way between the
Sunhower and Mississippi rivers, and a
railway up the Creek would bring ev-
cry bale Of cotton to this city. AS it is
now, not one bale in tea, comes here.
A road across Big Black would help US
almost as much, and we can have that,
according 10 the promise Of a capital
let, by simply re.endorsing some Of our
bonds. Here 10 the chance for Vicks'
burg 10 secure valuable railway facili'
lies this year, yet the ciIiz MS seem not
10 appreciate the great Importance OF
the present. opportunity. These two
propositions will be put direct
" 10 the people in good iime'
and we trust that they will dis
play more interest then than they
10 now. Let us suppose, for the
sake OF argument, that nothing is DONE
Where will we drift to? We certainly
have no right to expect an increase OF
business on the other hand, we have
every reason to believe that We would
lose some Of the best trade we now en-
ioy. Gen. Martin has built his road SO
far now that it is making little mon
ey, and il 10 certain that it will de-
Drive US Of some of the best Of our trade
east of Big Black by next Fall and
Winter. Just 50 soon as his road
crosses the Bayou Pierre, we may bid
goodbye to all Of the trade we now get
from east Of the Big Black. The Green
vile road will soon be built to Deer
Creek, and then it will be rapidly ex'
.ended down the Creek. If we make
no efTorls to secure this trade, II will
slso be lost to us. Will some OF our
.itizens who 10 not take sufficient in
;erest In railway enterprises, please
picture 10 themselves the situa'
lion If we lose both the Deer
Creek and Big Black trade
People complain Of hard times now
ont il this should happen, one'third oil
our business houses would be COM
oelled to close up. We ought TO have
mad these railway facilities long ago
out as other towns are now taking
measures to rob US of trade that ought
20 come here, we must work now, OF
suffer immense loss. In this con-
lit!on of affairs, 1t is indeed fortunate
,hat we can have both these roads with
absolutely no rick. One capitalist,
who Is already, fortunately for us, in
,erested in the Big Black road to the
:une of Gny.four thousand dollars, Of
.ers TO complete the read across Big
Black, if we will give new bonds for
I'D ones; and other gentlemen will
Guild the Deer Creek road, if the city
Of Vicksburg aud Sharkey county will
agree to reimburse them TO reason
sble extent, after the road is COM
gleted. In our opinion the city should
not hesitate one moment to accept
10th propositions, and thus secure
railway facilities that will double our
trade in two years, and increase the
value of our real estate nearly two
millions Of dollars.

from San Francisco 10 Yuma, on The
Colorado. The distinction is impor-
tant. THE Texas Pacific" is a COM
+ peling line, vs. "The Union and Cen
tral," from Omaha to San Francisco.
In bis letter to the Mississippisns, ex-
planning his prefer ence for Hunting
toms road, Mr.. Money keeps wholly
out OF sight several important facts
One is, the provision in Scotts bill,
made by bis own pen, that he tariff of
charges for freight and passengers shail
be and remain In the hands OF Con.
gress. Huntington absolutely declines
TO allow such restriction on his road, or
roads
Scott offers 10 pay up nearly the
whole annual interest on his bonds by
carrying Governmen, nail, army sup
plies, ETC., etc.
Huntington refuses to pay the Gov.
ernment the interest on his bonds,
and uses the money to crush, If
possible, competing line, so
emphatically demanded by every in-
terest OF trade and travel from both
sides Of the continent. Mr.. Money
talks about "hastening the completion"
Of road to the Pacific. What do we
care tor the mere difference between
twelve or eighteen months In time,
compared TO the tremendous results of
a bold, defiant, and earnest competi-
tioni Competition, as q grand feature
Of Scott's scheme, Mr.. Money keeps
out of view.
The South ought to demand q road
from Vicksburg 10 San Diego. If il
starts at Fort Worth, or Shreveport,
then some day determinations may be
enforced, greatly TO the detriment Of
the commerce and travel from the Mis-.
sissippi river to the junction OF the
Texas and Pacific rosd. Hon. Warren
Cowan's resolutions in the Senate have
the ring OF home interest.
Competition! competition! ;ompeii.
ton! This is the safeguard.
Huntington is trying to coil his mon
ster folds around Congress, com.
merce, the continent, and build q
huge monopoly that would stand
before the world-renowned East India
monopoly like towering Alps before a
thimble full OF sand. Col Scott has the
pluck to figh, this ambitious and fear.
ful corporation.
And yet meu tell US the Huntingtons
want no subsidy, while Scott requires
it. Look here Who built and paid
for every inch of the great monopoliz-
ing "Union and Central Road 2" not one
private dollar went into Il. The Gov.

A Savings Bank Victims Suicide.

Yesterday morning a cook on the
.mestown found some clothes on the
Vallejo Street wharf. Papers were
found which proved TO belong to Robert
G. Crawford, a discharged soldier from
the United States army. The man COM
mtted suicide by drowning. On the
fly-leaf of psalm-book he says he COM
mits the act because of the failure of his
savings bank. He writes on another
page that he took laudanum for five
nights, two ounces each night, but it
had no effect on him. and he now takes
the bath to get rid of the world, and the
savings bank robbers may have their
day next. In another place he writes
in large letters, "Ralston BATH" and
then gives his age as GO, and states that
he commits the act because he was
broken down by the savings banks and
is now unable to get employment.-San

An Alpine Avalanche,

In the summer of 1851 a party Of tourists.
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty. to an elevated and snow-covered
plateau, in order to obtain better view Of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the bleak
ness and sterility Of midwinter around and
above them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded it over the
edge OF the plateau. In falling il struck soft
err snow, which Immediately gave way, and
soon an avalanche was tearing down the noun
tain-side, burying ard destroying everything
in its course. As the handful of snow became
the irresistible avalanche, so the hacking cough
with sore throat and Catarrh, if neglected,
speedily develops into that dread destroyer,

such instruments make are practically worth
less, because the expense, trouble and risk OF

know this and warrant organs which they know

A Family of Turks in Tennessee.
From the Knoxville Tribune.I

| IEr0m tine huOAfilc 1HiUuucsl
Learning on yesterday that fam
ily of Turks had arrived in our city,
a Tribune reporter was sent to find
out their whereabouts aud get what
information he could in regard to
their mission. They were found
comfortably situated in the sitting
room of the car shed of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad. The reporter introduced
himself and made known his mission,
when he was presented to the father
of the family, Joseph Aoad Damas-
kin, Marian, his wife, and their sons,
Abraham, sKalleel, tailor and shoe
maker, and Fadia Ali. a doctor in
medicine and surgery, and Nageeb,
a student, Habeeb Nasseem and
daughter. When asked why they
came to this country, they replied
that their object was to get away
from Turkish tyranny and emigrate
to a country where they could have
the privilege of education and
breathe free air. They had been
under the slavery of the Turkish
Government and the Mussulman peo-
pie, and thought that by emigrating
to America they could better their
condition. The father desires to see
his children protected and encour-
aged, not alone in building up their
own interests, but the interests of
the country in which they have cast
their lot. The love of freedom, they
said, had attracted them to come
here. They had good business and
cheap country, but the tyranny of
the government they could not stand.
They preferred to come to East
Tennessee, having been informed
that the climate of this section was
more like their own. They ask no
aims of any one ARE able and will
ing to maintain themselves. The
doctors desire to be patronized either
by the government or by the people.

A SOUND PRECEDENT ESTAB.
LISHED.

At their meeting in Virginia, last
Tuesday evening, the Democratic
Central Committee of Storey county.
resolved to drop from the ticket the
names of all candidates who neglec-
ted to pay their assessments by a
certain date. This step is one which
will meet with the approval of all
fair.minded men. Candidates have
heretofore been very dilatory in this
respect, some neglecting to pay un.
til toward the close of the cam
paign, while others failed to pay
at all. In either case the
of the committee would
be embarrassed if not seriously Grip
pied, and the success of the ticket
endangered. This action of
the Democratic Committee will es-
tablish a precedent that will be
quoted in all future campaigns in
this State.

In the last issue of the TIMES, in
an article referring to the so-called
"bogus" map business "a matter
which, it will be remembered, caused
considerable excitement in stock
circles, few months ago. the fol-

of the sudden appearance and sub
sequent mysterious disappearance of
this notorious map r. Mr.. P. A.
Humbert assures us that no money
changed hands, and that the whole
affair was simply misunderstanding

his word. This may therefore be
accepted as full explanation of this

How GALLANT Lieuter

How GALLANT Lieutenant
Beats, of the infantry,won and broke
the heart OF the lovely daughter Of the
Kiowas: In the spring Of 1875 a
company of troops was stationed at
Toboxie, Indian Territory, near the
home of Chief Gibbons, on the
Kiowa reservation. With soldier
like rapidity the lieutenant gained
for his sweetheart the chiefs only
child, pride of the village. She was
twenty-five, petite, bright and alto
gether winning. Beats plighted
troth with her before coming East.
In Washington last winter Beats
was the gayest of the gay-so gay
that he became married man in
June. In Toboxie his deserted
maiden was the saddest Of the sad.
Three weeks ago, says the Denison
Herald, the girl disappeared from
home. Two days after her disap-
pearance her dead body was found
on the turf of the little See-ta ka
graveyard, at the edge of Lake Now
alta. She had shot herself through
the heart. t#I IEC.t
