"liow are the companys bonds regarded
in the financial world?'
Bonds? There is no such species of
Indebtedness overhanging our enterprise.
That is TO me one of the most gratifying
facts connected with it, and should be to
the entire southern people. No, sir;
everything so lar attaching TO the road has
been bought and paid for with our own
money. How solidly this capital has been
invested may be seen when you embark
with the excursion party. We could have
placed bonds to the amount of at least
s., 100000, but preferred running the bus
mess as a southern enterprise. owned and
operated by southern men. In that way
there can be no discrimination or double
dealing against those who support and rely
upon it. But do you not see in this an
other theme for pleasing reflection? 1t is
the only line OF railway in the south thus
constructed in part and certain TO 60
through. II means that the plucky south
is once more solidly on her feet, making
money and investing il for the develop
ment OF her section OF the great and ad-
vancing country"
The latter sentiment is that upon which
hinged the spontaneous and hearty cele-
bration yesterday by the stockholders,
their guests, and the supreme hostess, the
sister Queen CITY, Jackson.

THE TENNESSEE MIDLAND.
Line Of Railway That Has Been Ger.
tatnty, Yet Hard 60 Obtain.

W
For forty years the Tennessee Midland
railway has been from time TO time before
the people Of the State. 1t has been pro-
posed in many different shapes and direc-
tons, though in the main practically the
same. The State government has been in
tcrcsted in the scheme financially, having
appropriated large amount for engineer
ing and other preliminary work. Cor
porations have been formed to carry out
the idea, yet all have failed until the pres
ent one took hold. Just how many
charters are in existence would be difficult
10 state, and many are still in existence
though dead in fact As far back rs twenty
years, il was designed 10 begin tho enter
prise by building the Memphis & Bolivar
road. Public meetings were held TO arouse
and enlist popular sympathy and support,
and n great deal OF money was subscribed.
In this effort old Col. Nicely led, but was
surrounded 10y company Of live and en-
crgctic spirits. There was for some time
the brightest assurances that the project
would phil through on this effort, but for
tune was adverse and ii added another 10
the list Of lost causes.
The present line was not originally
located as carried out, but the changes
were no doubt promgted by n judgment
now conlessedly superior. Bolivar re-
cCived due consideration ms n bidder for
the road, and was willing to invest. Other
points presented their claims, all Of which
were strong, but the corporation having II
in charge saw in the one adopted the best
interests OF It's members and the state, and
so finally decided.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 26.-The President
and Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by Score
tary and Mrs. Whitney and Colonel and
Mrs. Lamont, returned to Washington at
an early hour this morning from their fly
ing trip to Florida and the various cities en-
route. The presidential party were greet
ed at the station by few friends, and pro-
ceeded Immediately to their respective car
Iiages, in which they were driven home.
The trip comprised many pleasant features,
and the hospitality and friendly greetings
showered upon the President and his wife
were fully appreciated. 1t was, of course, a
somewhat tiresome journey, especially to
the ladies, owing to the almost constant
travel upoa the railway. The stops at
Savannah and Charleston we're heartily en-.
joyed, aud went great way towards break.

from Florida.
The presidential party spent several hours
in Charleston, S. C, yesterday. They
drove through the principal streets with a
military escort, consisting of the Charles

BIaiua vs. Mahoue.

Mahone's opposition to Blaine has been
discussed by several of our exchanges. The
extent and nature of that opposition, fortu-
pately for Malone, did not become known
until after Mr.. Blaine had declined to be a
candidate for the nomination of the Chicago
convention. 1t Blaine had continued in
the field, he would have been nominated if
not by reclamation at least by vote ap-
proximating unanlmity, and Malone, in
The light of his personal and confidential
circular, would have been ruined poll
tician, not to say disgraced one. Sir
Peter Teazle Blaine would have had the
Measure of unmasking his secret enemy IN
tho rresence of a nation. Malone would
have appeared as contemplate as it is pos
chile for such a man to feel. he would
bave had either to shake off the dust of
Chicago from his feet, or else to play the
soL of ga poor boy at frolic.'
Rnt what is the prospect for Malone
,,o,y that the Blaineites have caught him
foorante delicto ? Will they forgive the
Joffsnder because his offence had no results?
will thew overlook his intentions because
Mr. Blaine's declination completely took
tho wind out of the sails of the little Boss's
anti Blaine craft? Hardly. There is
great deal of human nature" IN the blame
ties. and they will be apt to make 1t not at
Chicago, not only for Malone put 1or o1er-
man who, it is possible, not to say proDa-
HE was privy to all Mahone's movements:
We have assumed that MIR. Blaine Will
md ar no circumstances allow his name to
| h q nresented to the Chicago convention
We regard it as absolutely settled that he
would accept the nomination OF that BODY
onIv in case its members could agree upon
NO other nominee. We regard it as settled
oI,o that the members of the convention
will concentrate their votes upon mr:
Blaine only in the same contingency. But
suppose this contingency should be deVel,
oped: what, then, will be the feelings OF
Malone and his co-conspirators IN Virglnla7
We ssI, the Blaineites in this State II they
are willing to sit down in idleness and al
low a Sherman delegation to be sent hither
to Chicaeo under such circumstances? How
would the Blaineites here feel when the
news reached them that Blaine's popularity
| had overwhelmed all opposition, buried all
his rivals, and caused his nomination py
reclamation. They would have to share
Mahone's disgrace" as the word Is in
| England, and appear before the world
either in the character of Mahone's Tools,
or else as men who were too simple to take
part in politics-that is to say, as his VIC
| Tins.
