A Man Whims UuhIiicn, Tact Has Changed a llankrupt tunrern Into Ono of the Host Proipcr- OUK. New York. December 15.—A man who is fairly entitled to rank with the first financiers of the country by reason of ex ecutive ability is J. B. Houston, the presi dent of the Pacilic Mail Steamship Com pany. The tribulations through which this great corporation lias struggled, und the difficulties it lias encountered, would make a book. Its history has been coupled with great success and great disasters with government contracts and congressional investigations, mid with nil manner of business complications. It has at times been in such a financial condition that its collapse lias been daily expected. To-day it stands foremost ana almost, alone in the carrying of the American flag on the wa ters of the globe, and is at the pinnaole of its prosperity. THE GUIDING MIND in accomplishing this position lias been that of Mr. Houston, who is familiarly known in Now York and Washington as “Buck” Houston, being named after Presi- denf Buchanan. The history of Mr. Hous ton is a. striking illustration of the fact that blood will tell. His lather, John II. Hous ton, was forty-three years in the financial branch of the government service, and was second comptroller of the treasury at the time of his death, in I860. He had served continuously in the comptroller’s office and the office of the fifth auditor of the treasury from 1826. Originally a merchant, he had been trained in business in a large mercantile house in Philadelphia, had traveled around the world, and had seen tiie return of Napoleon I. to Paris from liis exile at Elba. The mother of Mr. Houston was Gertrude Truxton, the youngest daughter of one of the most famous naval officers of the United States. Commodore Truxton was senior officer of the navy by appoint ment from General Washington on the first organization of the navy. He was placed in command of the fleet in the West Indies, where he defeated and put to flight the French frigate Lit Vengeance ■arid captured the French frigate La Insur- gent-e, for which he received a gold medal from congress. Resigning from the navy, he we.s made high sheriff of Philadelphia, a position which he held until 1822. ' Mr. Houston was born in Washington in 1S30, and reared there and educated in the schools of the District of Columbia. In 1851 he entered the navy yard as a student. In those days lads were permitted ad vantages of study at the navy yard under officers of the navy, but were required to support themselves. YOUNO HOUSTON, after taking a three years’ course at the Davy yard, entered the navy as third as sistant engineer, and for the next few years served in various parts of tho world. His first, experience was in the Gulf of Mexico, j on certainty that if Captain Raoul is re- and afterwaads on the Paraguay expedi- elected president of the Central that he her law.

Atdanta, December 12.—Growing out of tbe projected Atlanta and Knoxville railroad scheme, there was to-day unfolded to your correspondent acorollavy by which the Central railroad would niak’e a cut turough the Carolina mountains, and gain connection with tho northern railroad sys- tenis. I he pl iu is to build a roau from Lutunton to Athens,which on its face looks very simple, until investigation discloses its true meaning. From Gordon, 20 miles be low Mucon,(in the Central trunk line,there runs a broad-gauge extension to Katonton.

Raoul for re-election to the presidency of the Central, which is de signed to get for him the votes of the large number or stockholders who live in that section. It furthermore points the way for the Central to bury its present limit for the new road. Once built, it would pass on through Madison, Banks, Franklin and Habersham counties to Cl ay to u, in Rabun county, where it would form a junction with tiie Atlanta and Knoxville line,which road itself is realiy engineered by men in the interest of the Central. In this way the Central would have a com plete line to Knoxville, both by way of Atlanta, piercing the northwestern counties of the state,and by way of Athens, piercing tbe richest cotton raising section of the country. Not only would such an extension hurt the East Tennessee and tho Western and Atlantic, but it would also make a sharp cut into the territory of the Richmond and Danville. It may bo stated tion under Commodore So 1 ubert, with whom he also went to the coast of Africa in the San Jacinto. On the African voyage their mission was to stop the slave traffic, and two of their experiences were the cap ture of the brigs Benito nnd the Storm King, laden with about 800 negroes. Mr. Houston returned from the const of Africa under Admiral Wilkes, who fell in with the Roval Mail Steamship Trent, from which Mason and Slidell, the Confederate commissioners, were taken as pris oners, an event which created the sensation of the day nnd led to no end of diplomatic correspondence. Young Houston was among those selected to go on board the Trent with the board ing officer—present Admiral Fairfax, of the navy—and to remove Mason and Slidell to the Sait Jacinto. He was also on the detail which conducted the two commis sioners to Boston, where they were placed in confinement in Fort Warren, and was selected by Admiral Wilkes with Captain A. P. Cook to accept the reception from the citizens of Boston at the. Fatieuil Hall, will be bold and aggressive in his move ments, for he recognizes the fact that these opposing companies have been giving Gen eral Alexander great support. It is a knowledge of these facts which makes these men now anxious for Alexander’s election, in order that Raoul’s plans may be thwarted. ^ PROMPTLY TABLED. The Appml «f Father Molilytin and Other, to lla'iso the Khret Itojeott. New York, December 15.—At the cen tral labor union meeting to-day a report was handed it, from James Redpath, Father McGlynn, W. O. McDowell, John B. Crimrains and Jemes T. Sparkman, sav ing that they had in instigated the whole of the Tln.iss boycott, and had found that, the boycotters weie innocent of any intention to violate the aw. In the course of their inquiry, ttey say they were convinced that tbi boycott upon Frank Ehret was ordered Wider a misap- l «? n »°t met to roioice i prehension, and was unwarranted and un- wn re the New Englanders meUo^jolct , j ^ Thjre wa3 11(? matter how_mjust the over the courage- of American seamen, tiie breaking out of the war the govern ment was required to put forth exertions for the construction and Mr. Houston, who had bee to be first assistant engineer sent to Baltimore as •SUPERINTENDENT OF NAVAL CONSTRUCT TION and repairs, and afterward to Chester, . tt x «-»P r»rvn«riMlf*T inn I o ot the boycotters were th e ac . i j late RubM^Luc&cr, ot Philadelphia, and MDamn’s History of ihe Jews, the best history extant written by that able divine. This book is a do nation by the Sabbath tchool B’nai Israel lobe voted to the most prominent minister. Rabbi Weiss declining tube a candidate, the following ministers were voted for the first night, and re ceived: Rev. Dre. Harris 11, Carter 7, Lewis 3, Hunter 2, and Fathers Schlenke 6, nnd Campbell 1 vote. Any minister that will get the book will surely appreciate it. CVntr’nl Railroad. Central railroad stock is still in the low thirties, though the market is reported quieter than it was a short time ago, when it was advancing three or four points a day. One cause assigned lor the quietness of the market is that Alexander men have secured all tho stock they want, aud have put a limited amount on the market. This should be taken with several grains of sail, for if it is true it can be regarded in no other light than a tolerably large-sized bluff. President Raoul has very justly earned the rep utation of not affirming, denying newspaper or other reports concerning his road, but there has been a report put in circulation, and in such a way as to call forth a denial from him. It is told that he has offered Mi. Douglass Green, of the Green A Bateman firm of New York, the vice presidency ofthe Central, creating such an office for the purpose if he will support him with his influence. Captain Raoul states that there is not a word of truth in it. It is understood that Mr. Oreeu is already a Raoul supporter. IIOTKIj ARBI VALh. RANKIN HOUSE. S. T. Ellison, Ellcr3lie; W. J.

During the years that, J have been afflicted I have tried almost everything claimed to be a specific for Dyspepsia in the hope of finding something that would afford per manent relief. 1 had about made up my mind to abandon nil medicines when I no ticed an endorsement of Stmmonh Ltvkr Kisoulator by a prominent Georgian, a jurist whom J knew, and concluded to try its effects in my case. I have used but two bottles, nnd am satisfied that I have struck the right thing at last. I felt its beneficial effects almost immediately. Unlike all other preparations of a similar kind, no special instructions are required as to what one shall or shall not eat. This fact alone ought to commend it to all troubled with Dyspepsia. J. N.
