The Future Cleat City of the American
Continent.
St. Louis, June 25, 1876.
St. Louis is the future great inland
city.
Its growth lias not been so rapid as
that of Chicago, but it is more per
manent ; its prosperity is better for
the reason that Chicago is largely
covered by claims of eastern capital
ists for money advanced, while St,
Louis is owned by the inhabitants.
In 1800 the population of St. Louis
was 160,000. To-day it is oyer 500,-
000. In twenty years it will stand
the peer of Philadelphia.
St. Louis stands on the west bank
of the Mississippi and covers in
length about fifteen miles of the riv
er bank and extends out westward
about four miles.
Camp Jackson, where Gen. Blair
encamped his first troops for the war
in 18G1, was then in a forest west of
tho city, but is HOW C'OVCTCd by
houses of the finest quality and great
est value.
Some of the grandest and most im
posing buildings in the United States
are to be found in this city.
Take the hall in which the Nation
al Democratic Convention was held ;
it is buiitof white granite, two hun
dred feet long, one hundred feet wide,
and the ceiling sixty-four feet from
the floor, self supporting without one
thing to interrupt the view. The
frescoing on the ceiling cost SIOO,-
000.
The steel bridge which spans the
great river at this place, is a monu
ment to the genius of Capt. Lades.
There is one pier in the middle of
the river, from which two self sup
porting spans of over five hundred
feet each, reach to other piers nearer
the banks. On the bridge there is a
railroad over which the cars from
thirteen different roads eater the
city, also a foot path and a wagon
track. I said the cars enter trie city
from the bridge but they do not,
they run under the city, for at the
west end of the bridge a tunnell be
gins which runs for a mile and a half
under the very heart of the city, and
so far beneath the surface that per
sons above know nothing of what
is being done in the tunnell below,
and which the cars emerge from the
Union depot. This is great work
and cost, that and the bridge, $lO,-
000.000.
Fifty-two passenger trains enter
and leave every day on regular
schedules, many more on extra oc
casions.
Manufacturing is taking a deep
hold upon the people here. There
are several extensive iron manu
facturing establishments ; to write
of each would make this too long.
Among other things lager beer is
manufactured and drunk in St.
Louis.
All the population drink it; men
and women. And what was surpris
, ,-trrj Mil VI , lTi.ji.lv mcil V, llf
to be seen. The largest beer maker
keeps on hand a large stock of 60,000
bbls, and for this purpose has three
tiers of cellars in which the mercury
is never allowed to rise above forty
degrees.
One bakery establishment uses
500 pounds of flour per day. You see
they eat bread in St. Louis. People
ought to, who drink as much lager
beer as they do.
Five years ago, no cotton was ship
ped to St. Louis. Now up to this time
of this cotton year 250,000 bales have
been sold here. It came of an offer
which most people will remember,
by the chamber of commerce of the
city a few years ago of 810,000 pre
mium for the best cotton at the St.
Louis fair. In ten years 500,000 bales
of cotton per year will be sold here.
In one neighborhood 800 houses
—best quality of houses, were built
last year—e.-wh house in sight of each
oilier.
To the young man of brains, en
ergy and honesty, St. Louis presents
the best field in America.

Equestrian Exercises.
Written forTlte Express.
This morning I stood beside my
casement, reading the “Book of
Books” and hearing a soft ripple of
laughter, I looked up and beheld two
blue-eyed, golden-haired girls in
dulging in the most exhiliarating of
all exercises—a ride on horseback.
A thrill of real pleasure passed over
inc, for I can never forget the ex
static joy of leaping and bounding
over hill and valley as if I rode on
wings of the wind. The sight was
peculiarly refreshing and I forgot
for tiie moment that I was old, and
“ne’ershould mount my steed again”
’Tis strange our town girls do not
cultivate this beautiful accom
■piL)iiui'iff4,-3g nrsTftrruT ana jaSclna-"
ting. You girls who indulge in
flirting should become proficient in
equestrianship. Always wear black
or dark green habits, close-fitting
basque, jaunty velvet caps, gray
feather tipped with white,[uncoil the
shower of golden curls, and turn
them free to the breeze.
1 do not advocate flirting, girls
never did. Still sometimes one is
obliged to do so in self defense. 1 re
member once a gay young cavalier
called on me. 1 was reared amid the
sequestered shades of old “Retire
ment,” (the sunny home of my child
hood) and I was sent to a city school
and there I met my self-conceited
cavalier, who intended to amuse him
self at the expense of an ignorant,
unsophisticated country lassie. He
drew his chair near me and with the
gusto of a fool (for all tops are fools)
he took to himself au “excruciating”
smile, whilg he addressed me ‘thus
jv” “Well, Miss G. were you ever
in’love?” (the idea of a girl 17 or 18
years old being asked such a ques
tion. I could have told him yes
twenty dozen times—but 1 prefeiied
to light with bis own weapons.)
Looking the personification of sen
timentalism, 1 blushed, bowed my
head with low, tremulous voice, J
answered “never, until to-night.” Ot
course it acted like magic. VYith a
flushed brow and merry peal of uiugn
ter he admitted himself fairly van
quished and the remainder of toe
evening wus spoilt without tho loust
possible hint ol love. But girls,
when you'ean avoid indulging this
little frailty of woman do. \et, if a
soft-headed, glove-handed male flirt
j comes bowing and grinning round
like some escaped inmate oi a me
ivmerie —then elevate him at the rate
of “two forty” umi l he has reached
j the seventh sphere—then uneere
j moniously turn him loose to wander
like an atom through space or to seek
his level in the dust beneath. Now
if there is such a thing as a male flirt
in our little town he will say at once
I have felt the shaft of unrequited
love—but if he could peep into my
casket and see a hundred thousand
(more or lc old letters, he’d change
his mind. I am tempted to make
quotations from some of them—but
la ! me. I am not egotistical—only
self-confident. “Well, I’ll declare”
(as Addie would say) I have lost sight
of my subject, but I believe if I am
not mistaken it was equestrianship.
Once, long years ago, before my
hair became silvered or my eyes
grew dim, I rode with a gay party to
the Camp Spring. Soon a race was
proposed. My spirited, restless Ma
zeppa never looked more beautiful.
The word was^given and we darted
off like arrows from a well-strung
bow—each anxious to excel. Soon I
discovered I was far ahead of the
party and that I was riding a horse
that had been tr fined for the.turf. I
made an effort to curb him—but how
futile.
“Away, away, onward we dashed,
Torrents less rapid and lcs- rash,
My cold sweat drops fell iike rain
Upon the.courser' bristling mane.
And Itoirtll jicitlici- praj
But last we tied away, a way.
Oh how glod that I was but a few
miles from home for that incorriga
ble but beautiful horse would have
run at least ten miles, for fie was mad
with excitement. I held my temper
until I reached terra Jirma and I
could scarcely decide which was
most lady-like, to faint or shoot the
horse. But this is not the only ride
I ever took. I had the delectable
pleasure of riding behind a young
man. (I do not to this day like the
idea of playing second best, but as an
old gentleman once said on being
asked if he was master of the house
replied “I have no ‘prerogatys’ here,”
and women are very much in like
situations—except when they are un
married and can flirt now and then.)
But I am off the track again—tis
strange how time sports with our de
clining memories—but the ride is as
fresh as a bay wreath, but not so ex
otic. 1 was very timid—and uid not
know which I feared most, the horse
or his master. The rocking motion
of the horse was a delight to any one
securely seated. I soon found I
was on one side and then on the
other, and how could I venture to
hold to that transparent coat, for I
was afraid the rider would vanish —
so I concluded of two evils I’d take
the least and vanished myself in the
next sand-bottom we came to. I
went down as Softly as a fay—resolv
ing never to try that experiment
again. Nevertheless my love of the
ludicrous has enlarged since then and
maybe some day I’ll try the feat
again for your especial delectation,
my little girls, and you may choose
the horse if you will allow me to se
lect my escort. One weighing three
or four hundred will afloid us most
fun. AUNT POJAiY.
Kilbourn’s Profits.
Why He -wished to Conceal tho Contents
of ills Books from liis Customers.
New York Sun.
Washington, June 13. —The real
estate pool inquiry still smoulders in
the Committee room where Hallett
Kilbourn’s unimportant testimony is
kept. One of the pool was Pierce
M. B. Young, a member of Congress
for eight years from Georgia. Hav
ing had his reputation dragged into
the investigation, he appeared to-day
and requested that he should be ex
amined. His testimony was in ef
fect that some years ago, when his
particular friend, W. S. Huntington,
Cashier of the First National Bank,
was alive, he had a little money
lying idle, arul was urged by Hunt
ington to let him invest it in real es
tafie. Having confidence in Mr.
Huntington’s judgment, he gave his
consent, and there the matter rested
until the death of Mr. Huntington,
which occurred not long thereafter.
When he went to the bank to know
what had become of his money he
was informed that it had been turned
over to Ki.bourn & Latta for invest
ment. and that by that firm lie was*
; informed that it had been used in
the purchase of real estate, ai directed
by Mr. Huntington. As he had
never been advised of the first pur
chase, it struck him as-being a queer
I business transaction, and he declined
jto continue to do business in that
way. Mr. Young says he was not
1 aware of the existence of any assoeia
tion or pool, and he had not only not
been benefited by the investment
i but had lost three years’ interest on
85,000 selling out for just the sum he
i entrusted to Huntington. He asked
I Filbourn & Latta to pay him the
interest, but they declined. Mr. Y.
further said hi did not know the first
, thing about the pool nor did he know
1 that the purchased property was lo
j eated where the Board of Public
: Works was going to make important
i improvements; nor was no ever ap
; pealed to while in Congress to vote
a dollar for the benefit of the District
'Ol Uoltimnla.
The committee informed Mr. Young
that they had no charges to make
against him, and that his testimony
was corroborated by other testimony
of a similar character. The commit
tee, however, is more than ever im
pressed with the belief that the re
fusal of Kilbourn Ho produce his
books was not in defence'of a princi
ple, but to concefil the profits of a
pool transaction from parties whose
money was intrusted to them. None
were "more deeply interested than

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1876.
PENSIONS TOVETERAS&
Spcecli of Hon. TV. 11. Felton.
Let Us Pat Aside all Sectional and Unau
thorized Phraseology.
We give some extracts from the
eloquent speech of the Hon. W. H.
Felton, delivered before the House
of Representatives, June 14th, 1876,
and commend his view to the favor
able consideration of our people.
Nothing eouid be added to the force,
point and eloquence of their present
ment by the able speaker.
The House being in Committee of
the Whole on tlie state of the Union,
Mr. Felton said:
Mr. Chairman —There is a bill
pending before this House, having
been reported back from the Com
mittee on Pensions with a favorable
recommendation, granting pensions
to the surviving soldiers of the In
dian wars, known as the Seminole
and Black Hawk wars, and also to
the surviving soldiers of the Mexican
wars.
****** *
When new debts are to be con
tracted, or when current expenses
can be reduced, I will always co-op
erate wiftr the friends of retrench
ment. But when debts have already
been contracted, and outstanding ob
ligations are to be discharged, 1 shall
insist that the duty of the nation re
quires full and prompt cancellation
of all such indebtedness. Repudia
tion can never enter into the calcula
tions of an honorable people.
There are debts and obligations
which are not written on parchment,
not evidenced by bonds and promis
sory notes—moral obligations, debts
of honor, unwritten promises to pay,
which are as binding upon nations
as though they were collectable in a
“court of claims.” Repudiation of
the latter is as represensible as the;
former.
General Scott says, in describing
the scarcity of provisions:
“That, having put Major Cooper’s
battalion of Georgia foot in march to
join General Clinch, he was compell
ed to recall this battalion, then dis
tant two days’ march, over a wretch
ed road, as it was easy to subsist the
battalion on the Saint Johns, and in
finitely difficult to do so at Fort
Drane ”
Scott mentions most favorably this
fine battalion and its gallant comman
der. That battalion major lives to
day In my county, an honored ex
member of this 1 louse, and as true a
patriot as when he faced Indians, fe
vers and starvation in Florida.
General Scott, in detailing tho dif
ficulties that environed him, also
mentions another Georgian from that
portion of the State which I have
the honor to represent. He says :
“The Georgia horse began to ar
rive about the end of the nionty,
the companies before mentioned, and
another on the 10th of March, under
Captain Nelson, who made an unpar
alleled march from the northwest
corner of Georgia.”
And also says:
nnmrn n t <. .jWoAJlflß'aaiil
Colonel Bankhead’s little column,"
through rain and mud without tents,
and without a murmur set out with
him for Fort Drane.”
But, sir, there is not an argument
in favor of pensioning the soldiers of
the Indian wars, which does not ap
ply with increased force to the sol
diers of our Mexican war. The In
dian wars were carried on and suc
cessfully terminated chiefly by regu
lar troops. The Mexican war was
eminently a war of volunteers. It
was the first time in our history
when there was such an opportuni
ty of demonstrating the truth that
our safety and power are lodged in
the intelligence, patriotism and cour
age ot our citizenship.
Then was established tlie fact that
there is no necessity in this country
for standing armies, which consume
the productsof peaceful industry and,
sooner or later, overthrow the liber
ties of the people; but that it is pos
sible for a nation to surrender itself
to the avocations of peace, of pro
ductive labor, and the same time be
ready at the first rude alarm of war
to carry its flag to victory.
Never can I forget tho military
enthusiasm that pervaded tlie coun
try at that time, sectionalism and
partisanship were dwarfed, for the
time, and all minor differences faded
in the presence of our country’s flag.
New York and South Carolina at
Contreras and at Cherubusco forgot
all rivalry except tne high distinction
of being first in the capture of tlie
enemy’s stronghold. As they charg
ed shoulder to shoulder, so also the
casualties of battle occurred almost
equally in that day to these two reg
iments. New York having seventy
six killed and wounded, and South
Carolina haying one hundred and
fifteen killed and wounded. So at
Cerro Gordo, the South, the West
and the North mingled their blood
in one common assault upon the ene
my. At Beuna Vista, Mississippi,
Illinois, Kentucky.. Arkansas, Indi
nnaDYm; Texas, with iiut little differ
.mee in the number of their respect
ive losses, left two hundred and fifty
nine dead upon the field of honor,
and about in equal proportion had
three hundred and seventy-two
wounded.
At Monterey-, Maryland and the
District of Columbia, Ohio, Louisiana
and other States, lost in killed and
wounded two hundred and eighty -
two, while Missouri, Alabama, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Miehi- i
gan, lowa Wisconsin and RlorsUa, all i
did their duty.
This devotion to the country was
conspicuous in nay own State, and
Georgia did her duty in these excit
ing times. From the section of State
which I represent six companies of
true and gallant men were raised,
who participated in the glories and
sufferings of Mexico. Wofford,
Hamilton, C\ 11. Nelson, Allison,
Nelson, Fulton and Jones gathered
around them as patriotic and brave
companies as ever followed young
commanders to a field* of strife.
Many died, some were killed and
wounded and a great many of them
contracted, under tl;e binning sun
and in the malarial climate of Mexi
co, diseases which soon carried them
to the grave.
These companies, together with
others in the regiments of Jackson,
Seymour and Calhoun, also others
commanded by Thomas, Doyle,
Clark, Ector and Echols, made up in
part the contribution of Georgia to
this general assembly of American
Heroes; in vyhieh sectionalism and
partisanship were subordinated to
the country’s interests. Whigs and
Democrats, free-soilers and pro-slav
ery men, all hushed their wrangles
in the presence qf the overtowenug
claims of a common patriotism.
* * * * * *
Wha did we acquire by their sac
rifice and devotion? What wealth
was added to this country by their
labors and sufferings? Not includ
ing Texas, though it is properly an
acquisition of the war, yet exclusive
of this .State we obtained by the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo terri
tory to the amount of 658,833 square
miles, and in 1870 we had in that ter
ritory a population ot 806,055 inhabi
tants.
The gold and silver produced by
this territory is about as follows:
Fiom—
California $1,143,620,000
Nevada 280,245,879
Idaho 64,955,525
Utah 38,725,152
Arizona, 1874, 1875 135,159
New Mexico, 1875 500,000
Total $1,537,281,775
It will be seen that the amount set
opposite to Arizona is the produce
for only two years, while that oppo
site New Mexico is for one year.
These are all that results vve can
obtain just now from these Territo
ries. Their produce of the precious
metals has never been very large,
and would not materially alter the
aggregate given
Th© total value of agricultural pro
ducts in the United States in 1870
was $2,447,658; the same year the
agricultural products of the territory
acquired from Mexico was:
California $40,836,024
Nevada 1.759,712
Idaho 639,797
Utah 1,973,142
Arizona 277,998
New Mexico 1,905,060
Total $47,309,734
Now, add all the prospective pop
ulation and weath of the territory,
its growing commerce with the Fast,
its undeveloped resources, mineral,
agricultural, and commercial, its rap
idly increasing population, with its
capacity to sustain millions of enter
prising and industrious -people—add
to this the mastership which its pos
session secures to us over Mexico.
Mexico is the American ‘ sick man.”
The Pacific States can maintain a
“masterly inactivity” and patiently
await the result.
Now, add to this the influence
which it gives us over the trade with
Chica, Japan and the islands of the
Pacific.
What a future ! The centre of our
population west of the Mississippi!
The dream of ambition in olden
times never realized such a magnifi
cent empire.
Whence did it come? To whom
are we indebted for its possession ?
Remember sir, all this is but the
blood, the suffering and heroism of
our soldiers crystalized into material
wealth and national power.
In discussing this question of obli
gations to the heroes of the Mexican
war, let no political or sectional
Pharisee say to any Southern man,
“Stand back, lam holier than thou;”
for the truth will not sustain him in
the selfish and arrogant assertion.
Let us put aside all sectional and un
authorized phraseology; let us re
member that this measure will tend
to restore kind and fraternal relations
between the two sections, more than
all the resolutions and declarations
>\v fitiy^num her of p&liticafcou
ventions.
This measure is one of conciliation.
It re-unites; it fills up the “bloody
chasm,” It runs the plowshare over
the battlefields of sections. It brings
the brave and patriotic men of the
past and the brave men of the pres
ent into’the brotherhood of] a com
mon citizenship. It heals wounded
and estranged hearts. It convinces
all men that for the future we are a
united people, because uur interri-gs j
and hopes centered in a common
government.
The Democratic Nominees.
Samuel J. Tilden, the
nominee for the Presidency, is at
present Governor of the State of New
York, having beaten,. Gen, Dix fifty
thousand votes. He was born at
New Lebanon, Columbia county, in
that State, in 1814. He commenced
his studies at YaleColege in 1837 and
completed them in the University
of New York. In 1814, in connec
tion with John L. O’Sullivan, he es
tablished the JJailg Mews in New
York city, and under his editorial
control it yielded a powerful influ
ence. In 1846, he was elected a mem
ber of the constitutional convention
of that year. In 1855, he was an un
successful candidate for Attorney
General. In 1867 he was chosen
chairman of the Democratic execu
tive committee and a member of the
constitutional convention of that
year. After leading in breaking
down and scattering the corrupt
rings in New York city during 1868,
1869, 1870, 1871, 1872, and 1873, he
was acknowledged as the head of the
Democratic party in 1874, and placed
in nomination for the office of Gover
nor, to which he was elected by a
majority of over fifty thousand,
against a corresponding majority in
favor of Governor Dix two years be
fore.
llis career as Governor of New
York—his fnany reforms in the pub
lic service—his war-fare upon cotxuui
rings and of official
thieves —have given him a national
reputation.
If he can he elected President, and
we hope he will be, he will have a
more extensive field to operate as
a reformer.
Thomas A. Hendricks, the nomi
nee for the Vice Presidency, is now
Governor of Indiana. He was born
in Muskingum Ohio, in 1819, and
is now fifty-seven years old. His
father moved to Indiana when he
was only three years old. He receiv
ed a liberal education—graduating at
Hanover College in 1841. lie studied
law at Chambersburg, Pa., and was
admitted to practice in 1843. His
success was very rapid. There was
a charm about him which won hosts
of friends.
In 184$, Mr. Hendricks was chosen
a member of the Legislature, and in
1850 he served in the State constitu
tional convention. During the next
five years he represented the Indian
apolis district in Congress and for
four years afterwards was Com
missioner of the General Lund Office, j
In 1860 he ran for Governor and was i
defeated by Henry 8. Lane—who
was chosen U. 8. Senator immediate- |
iy after the election and Oliver P. ;
Morton succeeded him as Governor. (
In 1802, Mr. Hendricks was chosen
U. S. Senator for the torn} ending in j
1869, pqring h|s yoqaturial term he 1
was active in opposition to tost oaths 1
reconstruction and all other devil
tries of the Radical party. In the
memorable episode of the impeach
ment of the President, he played an
important part and added to his rep
utation as a lawyer.
In 1868, he was a prominent can
didate for the Presidency before the
Democratic convention of that year
receiving at one time the vote ol
New York and the northwest. We
believe the] Georgia delegates also
voted for him. In 1863, he ran for
Governor of Indiana again, and was
defeated by Couard Baker, who beat
him only 961 votes. In 1872 he was
elected Governor of Indiana, through
his personal popularity all other
officers, except Superintendent of
Public Instruction having been elect
ed by the Radicals.
Gov. Hendricks is a man of me
dium height and symmetrical form.
He is erect active and vigorous. His
face is manly and handsome. The
features are large and expressive, and
and while there isa soft good-humor
ed expression in the large blue eyes
and in thej mouth and dimpled chin,
the brow, forehead and full heavy
jaw show wisdom and resolution.
His complexion is florid, and his
hair and side-whiskers are yet un
touched with gray. He looks like
one who has lived a happy life, en
countered no great sorrows and yield
ed to no great vices.
