rHE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

AA9 SVSAAnA1 @ASAAAS 0nAAhOA0
The Vicksburg Herald, of the 9Th, has
an article cOndemniDg Memphis as the
Eastern terminus Of the Southern Pacific
railroad. We regret that our cotempo.
rary needIessly exhibits a feeling which
we scarcely think is demanded, either BY
the tone Of the Memphis press or the
sentiment Of our people regarding this
greatly desired enterprise. Among other
things the Herald says:
For sell -protection and in the interest
Of justice and fair play, New Orleans,
Vicksburg and all the vast interests east
and west of these %cities, must oppose any
bill engineered solely and selfshly 10 the
interests OF this one city. Not a single
member OF congress from this State,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Caro-.
linas or Florida ought to vote for such a
bill. The building Of the road is only q
question Of time, and we can afford to
wait for years rather than aid g city that
thus attempts TO subordinate q great
Southern enterprise to her selfish greed.
All the while she is doing this she is yell.
ing about her vast advantages.
The true cause of this TRADE and OBJ
lection to the alleged yelling" is Sug-
gested in the after remark, explanatory
as it we're of the Herald, which says:
The prominent thing about this discus
sion is this: Any agitation Of the ter.
minus question at this time is exceed.
ingly dangerous and much to be deplored.
This must be so evident 10 all the friends
of the enterprise, hat the persistence of
Memphis in it will be suspicious to say
the least Of it.
We hope the Herald will take a better
aud more consistent view Of the subject,
which need not prejudice either this
city or Vicksburg. While there is no &C.
casiou for strife between Vicksburg and
Memphis, and we hope none will result,
there can be no reason for silence on the
part Of any community interested in the
great enterpriFe Of a Southern Pacific
railroad. Let Vicksburg make known
her claims and advantages, but DO moi
object to Memphis doing the same. In
this connection it would not be inappro.
pirate for the representative men And
commercial organizations of the two
. cites to interchange views in a friendly
sensible manner. While the question o.
locality should be sEitsted, there is nc
occasion, we repeat, for bitterness o.
feeling or unjust a~ntaEouism of action

staaafast Democracy.

A certain class of people find it always |
easiest to be on the popular side and are
always ON the look out to determine which
party to contest is most likely to win.
In political affairs this class is known as
the floating vote. and it is sometimes made
q matter Of special effort to capture this
element. For many years past this ele-
ment among the people has been largely
drawn to the republican side, and in many
instances has been all Of the majority
which the republicans had in various local.
tiles, The prestige Of victory was with
that party and that fact secured still
continuance of victory. But latterly the
state Of affairs has considerably changed
in that respect, and republicans all over
the country feel far less confidence in the
general prospect aud greatly less assn
rance of success. The tide Of popularity
has clearly changed and the constant sue
cession of political triumphs is badly
broken. The last presidential election
demonstrated to a certainty that majority
Of the popular vote Of the whole country
was against them aud with the democratic
party. The principles Of the democracy
have endured through a long succession Of
defeats, and have encountered forces
which would have destroyed and utterly
broken up any other party less surely
rooted upon the true and funda-
mental principles Of right and the essen
tials of representative government. The
days of republican party supremacy and
Of democratic adversely have given the
democratic party an utilization among its
members, have knit together the bonds Of
common unity, and solidi6ed its strength in
a way that even prosperity could not

Bank Currency Eastern Capitalists would
have established banks at the West. Cor at
that time the privilege wes enc Of great
value. Now it Is not much cared for, 90
chat most Of the National Bank capital is
held m Pebnsylvania. New York, and New
England. It is 90 local that the rest OF
the country have become indifferent or
hostile 20 the system. But | do not think
the West can afford to have an imitation of
our currency. 1t would be more harmed
bv this than any other portion of our
l Union. Appeals are now made with some
eject 10 their prejudice against what are
called bIoated capitalists or bondholders,-
a eIass of men who do not exist in this
country. We have some rich men, but
thew are rich in lands, in railroads, in fac
tories, or kinds Of property other than
this country are held By savings banks or
Insurance companies as trustees mainly for
laboring men or persons Of small fortunes.
The whole amount Of banking capital Is
small item compared with other forms OF
property.
There cannot be more CHASTITY satire
upon Wall street than to speak OF Its
blOated capitalists, when 1t is charnel

Raautiful Hair.

FROM J. A. TYNEs. A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N. C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with q
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the heaC

IMITATION, or CHEAP MONEY.


One Of the complaints of our Rreenback
friends is the scarcity Of money, They
want more money and cheap money If
the cause of the existing hard times is the
scarcity of money, why not rise and ex-
plain" how it happens that millions Of
money are being daily loaned to the gov
eminent at only four per cent interest,
very considerable portion Of which is stated
TO be from people in moderate or humble
circumstances, who are seeking govern
meDt bonds at low rate of interest in pre-
ference 10 investing it in industrial pur-
suits.
The difficulties seem to be much less
scarcity of money than lack of confidence
in engaging in business and making invest
meuts in the ordinary channels of enter
prise. ~
We add to these observations state
ment from the correspondence of the New
York Herald made by the Hon. HOratio
Seymour, whose fealty to the democratic
party and interest in its ascendency and
success is every way as great as when he
was the party's honored candidate for the
presidential Office
Mr.. Seymour says:
Il think in the end the West will not
demand an imitation of the currency, al
though imitation is popular with many at
this tune.
There is also prejudice 10 the minds Of
the people Of the west growing out of the
division of our country into debtor and
creditor states. This is increased by the
stupid and selfish way in which the prlvi-
lege Of issuing NATIONAL Bank notes was
divided. Most Of il was given 10 one cor.
Der Of our country where currency was lesG
needed than elsewhere. lprotested against
this at the time and refused to sign ths
