TIE corporation papers are still

prohibit the acceptance Of passes by

adopted In 1875, contains the following
prcyiso In its article on railroads:
SECTION 16. No railroad or other

GENERAL SHERMAN will not be a
candidate for the presidency. He
denies this emphatically In language
which leaves no doubt that he means
Just what he says. A letter to friend
In s.. Louis closes as follows;
"That no earthly consideration will
induce him to embitter the remainder
Of his life by holding out the least
prospect that any possible combination
Of circumstances or events will make
him a presidential candidate.
"There are plenty Of good men able
and willing to undertake the ofioe-
ADLER than ! profsss to be and with as
much patriotism"
"The president at best is but a fig
urehead. Congress Is the real power
in this government, and any president
who undertakes to stamp his individ-
uslity will find himself tied hand and
foot by laws"
II ask you to assert with emphasis
that you know my unalterable deter
mination and that 1t will be idle &c

no amount of party olamor can se
riously disturb its harmony or pros

On Tuesday the Minnesota legisla.

On Tuesday the Minnesota legiala-
ture will begin balloting for United
States senator. A revolt against the
caucus renders Mr.. Windows election
far from certain. Fifty republican
members on Thursday absented them
selves from the party caucus, and only
sixty.three members Of the legislature
permitted themselves to be whipped
into line. This 10 ff Teen less than the
number necessary to elect, and though
Mr.. windom'ssupporters claim twelve
additional republican votes he will
still on tho first ballot be three short
of the number required to nominate.
Senator Window is a good man who
is sound on the main Issues, and
Minnesota could not do better
than to choose him again to represent
her in the senate, but the revolt

Southern Pacific.

Special Dispatch to THn BEE.
LOUISVILLE, January 13.-Iu 1856
a project was formed for the building
of the Southern Pacific railway, run,
ming across Texas to the Pacific coast.
The first link in the transcontinental
chain was from Shreveport, La, to
Marshall, Texas. By the time thi,
was finished the enterprise broke
down pecuniarily, and the road was
several times sold out by the sheriff.
After the war, in the year 1866, the
enterprise was revived, aud a loan Of
$3.50, 900 was made to the road by 9
Louisville syndicate, but the enter
prise failed. In 1868 the road wal
sold, and was bought in by the Louis
vile syndicate in order to secure theil
debt, they assuming to pay the othel
