Tie aid General Barnes asks frc

The aid General Barnes asks from the
government on The Military railway
from San Antonio to the r
Grande, is an endorsement for annual
interest of 5000 per mile on the entire
road, while Il counter proposition, pre-
sented by Mr.. Reagan for another
company, asks for an annual assurance
in freights of $500 per mile on each
mile of the entire road. Ia the first
case the government becomes liable for
four per cent. interest on $15, 900,
while in the latter it becomes
obligated to supply $500 worth of
transportation, equal TO ten per cent.
interest, whether this much Is needed
or not. II another road besidcs this
should be completed to the r G rands,
the government is even precluded u
chance to make rates on competition.
The one proposition has so many adj
vant4ges over The other, that we hard-
SIC nv" uAAs ~ O~h tSlNN SohI-
tion to the one by presenting it to Con-
gress. The counter movement is
underatood to be made by International
railroad men, who have so long failed
to comply with provisions of the
charter granted by the State of Texas
to the International r .ilroad Company.
This company has been ten years build.
ing not over $50 miles of road, and in
this time the property has changed
hands three times. This company en-
joys special and peculiar franchises
from the State, being exempted
from taxation, and yet it has not met
public expectation. Whether these
special franchises will be continued is
mooted question, and the company
is probably arraying itself against IN
fuence in Texas, in opposing tie
plans of the company represented by
General Barnes, which is made up
alone Of citizens of Texas.

TIFF philadelphla Times comes

TIE Philadelphia Times comes to the
conclusion that Senator VOORHEES, has
made something out of his exodus in
vestigatIon movement. The political
aspects of the question from a Demo
cratic point of view were brought out
very cleverly. 1t was claimed by the
Indiana Senator in the beginning that
the tide of emigration was turned into
his State because it is close one polit-
really and every cGlored Immigrant was
sure to become r publican voter.
Republican witnesses testified that they
wanted twenty thousand bucks, mot
women and children ; they wanted them
to vote; too many women and children
came along; the coming voters were
scattered around on cheap lands in
close counties. Time was when no
Republican would condescend to the
use of the slave-iriver's word "buck"
to describe a man of color. But, after
all, these politicians who trade in ne
gro votes and lead them to starvation
as matter of profis are as much deal
ers in human flesh as were the negro
buyers of the old days.

An ugly controversy, that may result
in bloodshed, has arisen in South Car
Dina between General N. w. Gay and
the friends OF Senator Hampton. Col.
John G. Haskell, friend to Hampton,
publishes interesting matters connect
ed with the presidential dispute of
1867. IL says that "when Settle
and DENNY. emissariez of President
Grant, CifaIcd, il IiamptOn's party
would agree to admit thar the State
had gone Tor Hayes and Wheeler, the
Hampton government should be reGog-
nizsd. Gen. Hampton refused the Of
fer, while Gen. Gay urged that it
should be accepted" The Charleston
Meas and Courier, referring to the
same point, Gays: at had already
been established beyond the possibili-
ty of refutation, that Gen. Hampton
not only did not advocate such with
drawal (of the Tlden electors in South
CaTolina), but was opposed to it; and
that he went to the length of refusing
to acknowledge the election of
the Hayes cleo tors, although Of
fered instant recognition by Presi-
dent Grant If he would do So"
II theseiststements be true, the strange
fact is thereby revealed that ut the
time when the result OF the South
Carolina election was in dispute, so
impoit Ant was it that the seven cleo
toral votes OF South Carolina should
be secured to Hayes aud Wheeler, that
President Grant assumed the task of
Offering bargain 10 Hampton. This
proposition is reported to have been
thst, if Hampton would admit the
election of the HayeI electors, the
Presiden; would recognize the H4mp-
ton government TO the ent of bis ad
ministration. 1t was subsequently rec
ognhzad by Mr. Hayes, but the act was
a complete reversal of the Grant
policy. II these be truths, Grant if
placed in the position of making off
cial duty subordinate to bargain. II
Hampton had really been elected
Governor of South Carolina, he was
in duty bound to recognize the fact,
which he DID not do; and were
lie not the lawfully elected Coy
ernor, then q proposition to recog-
nizc him. as such on the plan proposed
was wrong, and au attempted subver-
sion, on the part of the President oil
the United States, of the rights of the
people of the whole Union. IL may
be hoped the whole truth will be elicit
ed and that, if such proposition were
made, the country will be allowed &c
know 1t in no uncertain way.

The Victoria Adcocatc says that Mr..
Coke's objection to the repeal of the
legal tender clause for the greenbacks,
''that The people would suffer loss By
it in the interest of capitalists and
bankers" was fully aud ,fectuslly an
swered by 5 nasor Bayard, when he
pointed out the plain fact that the
greenback could be exchanged under
the present law, at she United States
Treasury for gold OF silver aud that
hence 70 loss could ersue 10 the hold

In spite Of the fact that Southern
Republicans, in the nature of past as
sosiatisEs, are Grants earnest friends,
i; is being developed that Secretary
Sheimlp, through the employment of
treasury officials, has about stocked
.the presidential game in the South. A
deep feeling Of evaporation has in con-
sequence taken hold of Grants parti-
sans, and the question of denying de-
egetions from the South a place in the
Chicago convention Is being discussed
among them. Sectional sues are OPP
Grating, as 1t appears. inside the Re-
publican party, for It is stated that this
movement TO deny the South represent
tation is based upon the idea that Dem
cratic states should have no voice 10

Mr.. BAYARD shows his American cit

Ir liant achievements of the
United States, long sgo under Demo-
cratic guidance, when Florida and the
great Mississippi valley, and Texas and
