and running in 2 south westerly

 direction through Kansas and the

 southern border of Kansas and

 the northern border Of Texas.

 The road will traverse a rich and

 fertile country most of the way

 to New Mexico. From this point there is no difficulty in finding d

 passage through the southwest

 pass of the Rocky mountains to

 Southern California and to a mag

 niticent bay a-k harbor on the

 Pacific ocean. That this road will

 be built we have no manner of

 doubt: The road will traverse

 the northernmOSt part of Mexico

 and open up a country for settles

 ment that will surpass anything

 of the kind on this continent.

 The whole tier of Southern States are interested in having this road

 built, which includes Texas, Ten

 nessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kan sas, Mississippi, Georgia, Ala

 bama, Louisiana, Florida, North and South Carolina, Kentucky and the southern portion of Ohio as well as Maryland and Virginia. The determination is to push through the next Congress char. ter which shall be of the most liberal character, and to this pro- ject the present administration is understood to be friendly. It was the supposed opposition of Mir. TIlden 10 the Southern Pacific Railroad scheme that cost him

 the Presidency, together With his declaration that he would if President veto all bills for rebel claims. These two measures in- duced the Southern members in both Houses of Congress to stand by the Electoral bill and to elect

 Mir. Hayes, for the Hayes men will not be so much troubled with conscience as was MT. Tilden and some of his friends. A con. science sometimes is an expensive luxury, as MT. 1ilden and his friends have found out, and it won't answer to be too honest when there is railroad to the Pacific to be built and forty or fifty millions of acres of land ly- ing around loose to be gObbled up by tramp5. To this great scheme of Southern Pacific RailrOad it IS understood that pious states man Tom Scott is favorahly in- clined; also, that great favorite of the moral portion of New Eng land, James c. Blaine, who is said to feel friendly; also MT. Key, the new Postmaster General. and another gentleman whom VIC had the honor to meet at the St. Louis Convention, Ex-Governor Brow n of Tennessee, whom Mir. Hayes proposes to send to Louisiana to arrange with Packard and Nich- Ols. Ex-Governor Brown is splendid specimen of man and is a Southern Pacific Road man bang up. When Congress comes together who will be made Speak CT is uncertain. We undertake to say that whoever he is, he will be a Southern Pacific Railroad | man. The south do not care fig for politics now; what they want is to help their own section of the country. and this they will do, and will in future use both parties at the North to accomplish their purposes. They understand the Northern people pretty well. They have taken our gauge and will as- sign some small office to the hun gry in both parties, which will keep the leaders quiet as a gener- al thing, while the knowing ones are founding empires and making the country pay for it. The great bonanza of the future is 10 be the Southern Pacific Railroad, and any party which goes against it is a dead duck, and will get cooked sure. The South are to he satis fled unless Hayes loses his back bone, which is not likely to take place. The leading bloody shirt orators and editors of the North are to have 8 few plumS thrown to them. few leading darkieS are to have place Ia Fred Douglass and combination formed which will unite the south, tine South west and the Central States SD far as it can be done. This Southern Pacific route will not be tr02hied With-Sn0W in the winter, which i> SO annOvinO tO .hn CanFrAl and fC.
