ELLIOTT, Geu 1 Sup 4 st. toms. 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. J. W. W. 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 Jay Cooke & Cos. and W. S. Hunting ton. * The Debt- Statement.

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.
