Mr.. BLAINE has backed out of his libel
suit commenced against the proprietors
Of the indianapolis Sentinel with as
much grace as the circumstances will
admit, and considering the fact that the
whole proceeding was bold blum in
which he was "oalled," he has done the
best thing possible. The campaign is
ended. Mr.. Blaine is citizen in private
life, and as the purpose of the Sentinel
has been accomplished, about the only
thing left for him to do was to let the
case go by default.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Rockport
Transcript, writing from Oakville,
speaks as follows regarding the great
need Of railroad facilities In that sec
tion: ave are suffering immensely for
the want OF railroad facilities through
the center Of this country, which is now
destitute Of any means of transportation
except the road wagons, and they do not
begin to FIJI the bill. The building Of
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail-
road on line west OF the San Antonio
river would certainly supply our wants
TO a very great extent, but II said road
Is built to run down on the east side OF
the San Antonio river il will afford but
little relief TO the country situated be-
tween the San Antonio and the lower
Rio Grande rivers. There would re.
main good opening for a railroad, such
as the extension Of the New York and
Texas-Mexican railroad, via Goliad, tC
San Diego in Duval county, or Of the
building Of the Nueees Valley road. IN,
country situated between San Antonio
and the Gulf must have 4 railroad soon
and the sooner the better. Business Il

twenty years ago every polling
place in the United States during
an important election was placard-
cd with tie solemn adnonitiou To

know, was derived from the sup

Of 1874. The extract from this

statesman in the act of hogging one

cast upon it by the borcaved. Up
on going ont on the sidewalk with
