The Great Transcentinental Route from the
Pacific to the Eastern bank of the Mississippi

TO the Editors of the Cgurion
The resolutions introduced by Senator
Cowan from the 7th District, is good move
in the right direction.
What the South wants is an independent
great national highway tapping the two
oceans, on Southern line, free from OBJ
sCructions of snow and ice, and free from
any connection with the present Hunting
ton monopoly. on the 42nd parallel. We
want an opposition road. We want to re-
duce freights and passage. We want it as
4 Southern road.
Such is provided for in the Stephens
bill, free from all complication with the
Union AMI Central Pacific on the 42nd par
allel. We shall then have two great lines
from ocean to ocean, developing the vast
| territory OF lands now inaccessible and a
mining region of great wealth. --.,
We shall then procure immigration from
both coasts, and the products of their vari-
Gus exports, thus saving time, expense and
! cheaper transportation.
But combine any connection with the
Huntington, or, Add parallel, and you will
defeat the great object of the South, and
! forever in future lose the prospect of secur-
| ing an independent Southern route. A
consideration Of these two bills-the Money
| bill and the Stephens bill-by the South
would certainly defeat both, and then the
Union Pacific would be the sole line. They
would rejoice at such a result, and continue
But demand for ourselves what the North
has secured in the Union Pacific. Let this
| line tap our network of railways; let our
Southern ports be thus brought in contact
with the Pacific, and very soon we will see
ships from all countries anchored in their
placid harbors.
The one (the Stephens billy is in favor of
the South, the other in favor CT the North
and an already big Credit Mobelirr monop-
oily. The North feels that we are entitled
to it and will give it a hearty support. They
feel we have not received anything like our
share of public favor for internal improve
ments. They see the impor lance of such inn
provements, and the employment of redun-
| dant labor which is now threatening ele-
ment of discord and future danger. They
want both coasts opened for the introduction
of population and therefore will give this bill
a good support. The Texas and Pacific bill.
as introduced by Mr.. Stephens, will pass
unless divisions and pickering should arise
in the South. ...-..........s-@ :
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that Senator
Cowan's bill for the Legislature of this
State will receive hearty, indeed a unani-
nous support. B.

The Agent of the Peabody Fund Explains.


PEABODY EDUCATION FUND.-
STANTON, VA, Dec. 10, 1877.
Isaac N. Ellis, ESQ.,:
DEAR SIR-Your note calling my attea-
ton to an article in the jackson CLARION
on the distribution of the Peabody Educa-
tional Fund, is just received. was greatly
surprised at its contents, As soon as /
learned the reduction of our income for the
present year, notified all the State Super
intendents of the fact. My brief and hurried
note to Superintendent Bardwell has since
been supplemented by fuller statement
Had supposed the note would be published
should have weighed my words more
carefully, and written so that no one could
have taken offense, where none was in
tended.
What I said about the distribution in
Mississippi is in strict accordance with the
facts. BY our published rates, heartily APP
proved by Mr.. Peabody, aid is given only
where certain conditions are fulfilled-con-
ditions which were designed best to promote
States. Our rule is to help those who help
themselves, and to help them most in those
years, whether early or late, in which they
make the greatest exertions Ia the way of
progress. Those States which have received
most, because they have done most, will
receive less hereafter; and those which
have received little will receive more when
ever the best time to aid them shall arrive.
Last year, and for several years before,
we had about 100000 income; and yet we
could give assistance to only abouttOne-half
of the schools which complied with all our
rules, in the different States, and asked for
aid. In two or three States we aided every
school, or nearly every one, which made

So far as devoting per centum of the

ton of the poor of the State" is con-
cerned, we have to suggest that the
Legislature has the disposition, and the
State the ability, to provide for that very
large class of our people in a more direct
and certain way.

wrrKIEY ON THE PRINTING QUESTION

This il free country, and Mr.
Charles Winkley has perfect right to
run for Public Printer if he wants the
office, after his failure to induce the Leg
islature to abolish it, but he has no
right to procure it by Misrepresentation
and humbuggery. In his circular an
nouncing his candidacy he says he be-
lieves "the prices paid for public print
ing are too high" We have shown from
the Auditors books that the retrench-
ment in printing has been two-fold greater
than any other department, and that
the prices have been brought down to
the hard-pan gold standard of 1857.
But if they are "too high" CIT them
down. The matter has been RENTED to
Committees of able, intelligent and
practical members Of the Legislature,
and they will investigate and report the
result Of their labors. The CLARION
has consecrated itself for eight long
weary years to the cause of reform, and
its course shall be straightforward, with
out variableness or shadow of turning.
In 1872, this same Charles Winkley
addressed a very fervid appeal on the
subject of public printing to the Legis
lature in the form of ''memo
rial" He was the foreman Of
the then public printing office
and having as he says, twenty ode
years experience in public printing
work, is presumed to know whereof
he spoke when he undertook to en-
tighten that body. In this "memo
rial" he assured the Legislature as fol
