PoIITICAL affairs in the State Of Ohio
are in most disgraceful condition. The
Republicans, being in the majority in
the legislature, proceeded to pass laws
of the most unfair and outrageous char

prevent this, left the State, so there could
be no quorum to pass laws. This has
proven no restraint to the Republicans,
however, and they are running things

A writer in the st. Louis Repwb.
licaA says that the South could not
roll back the tide of immigration If
she would. He says that 10 ten or
twenty years, when the people of
the West find that they are over
crowded, they will make a rush for
the healthful aud fertile Southern
lands. When that tune comes men
of capital and enterprise will not
stop to enquire into Southern senti-
ments and p~rejudices. They will
ignore the alleged race problem and
roll like a mighty wave all over
that magnificent domain following
the Appalachian mountains from
the Potomac around almost to the
Mississippi, ncludIngatleastthr three
fourth of the area of the Southern
Atlantic and East Gulf States.
Kentucky, Tennessee, aud large
parts of Arkansas and Texas win
also come in for their share OF i'm
grants. This movement cannOt be
much longer delayed.

All this for 1886. But we have

pause in timerous hesitancy when
there is earnest work to be done.

HARBOR.
It's Cooperative Advantages as n
Railroad Terminus.


One might think 1t is q waste o
time to write so often ab0nt thu
advantages of PascagOula harbOI
over all others OH the Mississippi
Seacoast Tor the terminus of the
Gulf and Ship island Railroad
But how is Capt. Hardy TO know
that about three miles from the
main land we have eighteen feet oil
water, and but q short distance
further we have twenty-five feet, II
we do not tell him SOL Ii is by
comparison that the strong contrast
is brought out ; therefore, We will
compare Pascagoula with Ship
Island harbOr, and | think it will
appear that, while you cannot reach
Ship Island anchorage ground short
of fifteen miles, no matter where
you start from, Pascagoula anchor
age ground is only eight miles dis
tant from main land aud, while
Ship Island harbOr has no prOtec-
tien whatever on the north, north
east aud east, the only direction
from which we ever have II storm
of any consequence, Pascagonla
bay is completely land.lOcked in
said directions.
Tie comparison would further
show that, tor every One.mile OF
bridge to be built at PascdgOula
with the building material right ut
hand, there would have to be two
miles built at Ship Island, and the
building material brought from
PascagOula or Pearl river, thereby
making the expense OF reaching
deep water and Ship Island more
than double what it would cost at
Pascagoula-all of which Captain
will know nothing about if
We do not persevere in writing
about it aud induce him to come to
our Port, and let us demonstrate
question the truth of our
Boosting. We also want the Captain
to know that Judge Van Eaton,
our Representative III Congress,
has the necessary papers in his pos.
session, a~ndisnOw labOring to have
Horn Island Pass resurveyed,
will, when it is done, reveal
the fact that we have ut an average
tide twenty feet of water en- the
bar. | dare say it has been sug,
to Captain Hardy that the
charts only show six
teen feet on Horn Island bar, and
that they give the trne depth of
at the present day, which be
believe to be true If we fail to
coax him into making a personal
examination of Pascagoula harbor,
md give us the opportunity to ex-
plain to him that the charts state
he truth at the time they were
nade but that Horn Island Pass
las been gradually but steadily
deepening since the last Govern
nent SUI YES, aud is now twenty
ieet deep on the bar instead of
CYPRIAN.

The Gulf and Ship Island Rail-

EOdAAe
Special to the Times Democrat.
Washington, Jan. 5.-Mr. Van
Eaton intends at an early day to
introduce n bill for the complexion
OF the Gulf aud Ship Island Rail-
road. The lands originally grant
ell iu aid of this road are n0t now
open to sale or settlement, having
been withdrawn by Secretary Tel
Ter. While Judge Van Eaton be-
lieves that under the Law and the
decisions of the Supreme Court the
corporation will get those lands it
it builds the road, yet If Congress
will now afhrm the grant it will
quiet doubts about the title, and ~
add materially to the value of the
lands.
Judge Van Eaton has always Ia
ken great interest 10 the road, Is
ing as 1t does mostly in his district.
He says he believes the road is now
in . fair way of being built, and if
the land grant is confirmed its early
completion is assured. All per-
sons who have acquired titles or
claims to any of the granted lands
In good faith, viii be amply pIo
tected. While the Judge is a warm
friend Of the road, he is determiD.
ed to protect all the rights of the
settlers. THIS road may begin
either at Jackson, Miss, or Brau-
don, on the Vicksburg and Nerd.
ian and terminate at any preferred
point on the Sound. The prOjec.
tors are considering both Missis-
