4 Pacific Railroad Below the
Snow Line.


In the last numOer of his Progress
Mr.. Forney gives a graphic account Of
the fulfllmentof a remarkable proph-
esy made by Mr.. Thomas A.. Scott
nine years ago concerning the Texas
and Pacific railroad. On the 18th of
June, nine years ago, Mr.. Scott took
with him a company Of gentlemen to
visit the line Of the road, of which he
had recently assumed the manage
ment. The enterprise was in a Ian
gushing condition, and the road itself
was nearly bankrupt. 1t was Orisi-
nally surveyed under Jefferson Davis
when he was President Pierce's secre-
tary of, war. General john G. Ere
mont was afterward placed in charge,
and he was surrounded by Marshall
o. Roberts, who was followed by Mr..
Scott. That gentleman when he took
charge of the enterprise was in the
full strength Of his vigorous life, and
was determined to succeed in develop
ing the resources Ofthe great southwest
aud in building a railroad to the Pa
cifc below the snow line. His proph-
estes of the future Of the road and
the country we're bright, but bright as
they we're he has already lived 10 see
them on the highway to ful6llment.
In his speeches on that trip which
followed later in the summer Mr..
Scott repeatedly promised that the
road should be built. Jay Gould suc-
ceeds Scott in the presidency of the
road, and bis purchase of Col. SCOTS
interest already almost realizes the
glowing prophesics for it consolidates
four railways, with termini at st.
Louis and Cairo in the east, New Or
leans and Austin in the south and the
Pacific coast. The control Of the
following roads are now in Mr.. Gould's
hands: Texas aud Pacific, New Or
leans, Pacific, in course of cOnstruc-
ton to connect with the Texas and
Pacific at Shreveport, the Houston
and Texas Central and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, running between
Houston and DeniSon, with branches
to Austin. He has also a large inter
est in the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern and in the International
aud Great Northern, while the con-
trolling interest is not unfriendly To
HIM. Thus, as Mr.. Forney siys,
the bew link in the Pacific, which he
(Mr. Scott marked out so clearly in
1872, is nearly finished, and the proph-
sey, SC little credited at the time, is
realized"

SENATOR LAMAR's SPEECH.

We hope that none of our readers
will fail to read the speech of Senator
Lamar published on our fourth page
Like all Of his speeches it is marked
by great force of ideas and beauty Gi
language, and, like them all also, it i,
as conspicuous for its prudence as foI
its power. 1t is exceedingly difficult
for Southern statesmen to discuss Sec
tional issues in Congress without
damage to their party and their
section 80 difficult indeed that we
have sometimes thought that it would
be the part of wisdom for them to
! decline sueh discussions altogether
and submit in silence to false accusa-
sations rather than by retort and re-
elimination prolong animosities which
must inevitably injure the weaker
section. 1t has been Col. Lamar's
rare good fortune on the occasions
where he has permitted himself to be
drawn into such discussions to be able
triumphantly to vindcate southern
action without uttering n word to
which any fair minded Northern man,
no matter what his politics, could
take exception. Hence it is that
while he has not by violent express
sions and fierce denunciations of the
North pleased so well as some others
the hot-bloods Of the South nor won
so much of noisy and ill-considered
applause, he is universally looked to
in Washington, by Southern and by
Northern democrats, as the one South
ern representative who always aids
and never Injuries his party. His
speeches command the admiration of
his friends, the respect of his foes, and
the delight of all who hear them. The
concurrent report from all parties in
Washington is to the effect that this
was eminently true of the speech
which we lay before our readers to-day.
Its delivery attracted the undivided
attention of full senate and Of the
densely crowded galleries, and it was
universally conceded to be the great
speech of the session. Certainly no
more striking presentation of the
awkward situation into which the
Republicans have COTTON themselves
by their unholy alliance with Malone
has been given, and though so much
has been said and written i'm defense
of and against the "Solid South"
that the subject seemed threadbare,
we have never seen it so powerfully .
presented and so overwhelmingly vim
dicated as in the concluding portions
of his remarks. 1t is crushing in its
force, and yet so calm, so just, so
judicial in the lofliness of its tone that
it disarms criticism and turns away
wrath.
We will not undertake to give an
analysis of speech which we hope
all will read for themselves. 1t Is only
necessary for the intelligent and en-
quiring reader TO begin its perusal.
He will not be satisfied to lay ii down
finishing it.
