1 Proceed I nipt or the Tf\a A Partite
Hallroatl C'onvriUUm at M. Louis.
We have already given reasons why
tho money subsidy should not be
granted by the General Government
in aid of the Texas & Pacific railroad.
We now propose to give the argu
ments used by the principal speakers
in favor of that enterprise, that our
readers may judge for themselves:
THE DECLARATION.
Mr. Thompson, of Tennessee, chair
man of tho committee on resolutions,
presented the following report:
This Convention of delegates, duly
appointed from thirty-one States and
Territories, many cities aud boards of
trade, merchants’ exchanges and oth
er commercial bodies, constituting a
body of 803 delegates, representing
not only n large proportion of the
lieople of the United States, hut of
the active producing business capi
tal of the country, and now assem
bled to take action upon the con
struction of a Southern lino of rail
road to the Pacific, do respectfully
represent to the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States
in Congress assembled:
That a Southern tiuns-conUncntal
railway from the waters of the Mis
sissippi via El Paso to tho Pacific
ocean, on or near thoß2d parallel of
luttitudo, is inqieiatively demanded :
THE REASONS.
1. Asa measure of sound states
manship.
Because it is only by constant, in
tercourse. business and social, that
the great Slates now growing up on
the Pacific siopo can be permanently
bound in a common interest, with our
Eastern and Southern communities,
audit Is therefore sound policy and
wise foresight to promote the most
intimate relations between all sec
tions of our common country, a ne
cessity already recognized by tho
Government in its grant of bonds
and lands to tiie Union and Central
Kansas Pacific roads and of lands to
other trans-continental lines on the
32d, 35th and 17th parallels under the
belief that private capital would fur
nish the needful funds to complete
these highways, but owing to the
great commercial depression they
cannot be built by individual capital,
and the responsibility still rests upon ■
tho Government to secure the com-;
pletion of at least one additional
trans-continental line.
2. Asa means of national defense.
Because it is the duty of the Gov
ernment to have a iiuo to the Pacific
unobstructed at ull seasons of the
year, for the prompt Transportation
of troops and supplies should trouble
arise with any foreign country and
the posts and countries of the Pacific
coast be exposed to insult or attack ;
such line to be sufficiently removed
from our border to enable it to bo
fully protected against the movement
of any hostile force.
A MIUTAKV MEASURE
3. Asa lone 1 military necessity.
Because the experience of the
nation on tho Central, Union &
Kansas Pacific roads lias proven
that tho rail and telegraph and the
facilities t hereby provided furnish
the only sure means of Intercepting
and furnishing tho hostile Indians,
and unmistakably indicate the adop
tion of tho same method to prevent
constant depredations in Western
Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona,
make life and property secure, and
establish tkere tho same law and
order that prevail along the present
Pacific line.
4. As a measure of practical
economy.
Because, as already shown by the
experience of the Pacific road, the
expenso of maintaining a military
establishment, for the protection of
the Southern terltory against Indian
depredations will be largely reduced :
1. By enabling tho Government to
transport troops and supplies at one
lifth ol tiie present cost. 2. By
enabling it to dispense with two
thirds of the present force through
the facilities afforded for transporta
tion. and the movement of troops,
and thereby save from §8,000,000 to
$10,000,000 per annum, und at the
same t ime thus provide more efficient
ly and economically for the care and
maintenance of the Indian tribes
who are under the charge of the
government.
A NECESSITY.
5. Asa commercial necessity to the
12,000,000 of people inhabiting a belt
of country from four hundred to
seven hundred miles in width, and
stretching along the entire South At
lantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico and
old Mexico to the Pacific ocean, who
by reason of their geographical posi
tion cannot share in the benefits
cenferred by the present Pacific
line.
0. Asa direct saving to tho people
of the entire country.
Because it will give a competing
line between the two oceans, both
for the large local and through traf
fic of this country and for tiie great
through traffic with the traffic with
the Sand witch Islands, India, China,
Japan, Australia arid Western South
America, thereby conferring a sub
stantial benefit upon the entire na
tion, and because in this manner tiie
people of these United States will
best be protected against a monpoly
to whom they have loaned $55,000,000
of 0 per cent. Government, bonds and
made large grants of lands to build
the present Pacific line, and for
whose benefit the Government is
now paying yearly upwards of three
additional millions-out of the Treas
ury; a corporation that has estab
lished arbitrary rates for transporta
tion and is now seeking to perpetu
ate itself as a close corporation and
control the linos and such as it may
hereafter build in its own exclusive
interest, instead of making them an
open highway such as the people of
this country have a right to de
mand.
A MEANS. OF J 'EVELOPMENT.
7. Becauso the eomunication thus
established with the rich and produc
tive States of old Mexico would se
cure a large and lucrative traffic now
diverted to other countries, and
would thereby increase the revenues
of the Government, while at the
same time the connections made with
the lines now projected from the
capital of Mexico to its northern bor
der would stimulate and develop this
trade and enrich the citizens of our
country by the exchange of our man
ufactured goods for the products of
her soil and mines.
8. Because it is the duty of the Gov
ernment to protect t he citizens whose
guardianship it assumes under
treaty obligations, in tiie accumula
tion of the Mexican territory in
which they *-ere resident, and also
all other citizens who have been in
duced by tho grants made by the
Government to aid the building of
railroads to settle in the territories
COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1875.
which those roads were intended to
develop.
JUSTICE TO THE SOUTH.
0. Asa prudential and proper act
to encourage the people oi tho South
who may very justly, and with groat
force urge that while §175,000,000 of
pnblic moneys have been appropri
ated in the Northern States and ter
ritories since the organisation of ttie
Government, there have been but
§19,000,000 expended iu tho Southern
States aud territories.
Because not, only will the road, as a
means of national defense, strength
en the military arm of the Govern
ment, and at all times perfect the se
curity of out Pacific coast against at
tack by foreign powers, reduce the
expenses of its local administration,
bind our country more closely to
gether, facilitate communication
with the Pacific and with old Mexico;
develop new traffic and the agricul
tural products and great, mineral
wealth of Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona, but it will also by the de
mand for manufactures and produc
tion of every description, including
iron, steel, cotton, wool, timber and
other material needed in the eon
struotion of engines, cars, bridges,
machinery, buildings, etc., for the
use of the road, and by the laborers
employed in building and maintain
ing the same, give employment to
the furnaces, mills and machine
shops of the country, and once more
revive and stimulate ttio depressed
industries of all sections. And
whereas to seeuro to the Govern
ment and the people t hese several
advantages, amt in addition thereto
secure the return to the people of
thirty millions of acres of land here
tofore granted to build tiie thirtieth
parallel line, and save the building
of 1,500 miles of road, it is, in the
judgment of this Convention, not
only the right but tiie duty of the
National Government to render such
aid properly secured, restricted and
guarued, us will secure the prompt
completion ol the line referred to,
and such extensions as will give to
all sections the advantages resulting
therefrom; now be it resolved:
THE UENOTCTIONS.
1. That a Southern lino to tiie Pa
cific ocean should be built, on or near
tho thirty-second parallel from
Shreveport, via El Paso to San Diego,
| where it will make connection with
the waters of the Pacific in u safe and
excellent harbor, and connect also
with the railway lines now building
from San Francisco to the southern
part of California, thus securing a
continuous line to that great city und
port.
•2. That there should also ho con
structed extensions from the most el
igible points on tiie Texas & Pacific
ltailroad to New Orleans, Memphis
and Vicksburg, and from a poiut near
the 103d meridian to Vinlta, in order
to reach the Mississippi river, and to
connect with every road and harbor
of the Atlantic coast, and with every
railway east of the Kooky mountain
slope.
3. That to ensure to the nation tiie
greatest benefits from this line of
road, and to prevent its being con
trolled in the interest of any one par
ty or section of country, there should
bo established such regulations as
will maintain the road from .Shreve
port, to the Pacific us an open high
way and a competing lino to all trans
continental railroads, to be used on
equal terms by all connecting roads
I which arc now or may hereafter be
built, similar regulations to be ap
plied to the branches receiving simi
lar aid to the Texas & Pacific trunk
line.
THE REGULATIONS.
1. That it should be built at tho
lowest possible cash cost, in order
that tiie people shull be protected
against undue or oppressive charges,
and shall be scoured in its use at the
lowest possible rates required to pro
tect the comparatively small capital
actually expended on its construction
—a result which can be greatly aided
by its construction at this time, when
material and labor can be secured at
prices much below those that have
prevailed for many years past; aud
that Congress shall at all times re
serve the power to protect the people
against speculation and oppression
in the use of this national highway.
5. Thut the building of the main
line should proceed under such regu
lations as will insure the construction
of the road continuously from the
point of its present completion in
Texas to >Sati Diego, in California, or
until it meets au extension of the
same line from-San Diego.
6. That the construction of such a
line and branches can be best secured
by the extension of Government aid
to the lino and branches heretofore
mentioned in these resolutions, in
the form of a guarantee of interest,
not principal, on a limited amount of
five per cent, construction bonds,
payable iri fifty years, so that the
entire liability assumed shall not,
in any event, exceed two thou
sand dollars per mile por annum,
nor the interest on the actual cost of
tho line and said branches; such lia
bility to bo secured by a first mort
gage upon all tiie railway, property
and franchises of the companies, and
upon the lands granted by the United
States; and any deficiency in tho
earnings of the line and branches to
meet the interest maturing on these
bonds while tho road is in course of
construction to be mot by the deposit
in the United States Treasury of one
eighth of the whole authorized issue,
and the sale of the same, if it becomes
necessary, after applying all net
earnings and proceeds of land, and
the sums due for government trans
portation, mail and telegraph ser
vice, to meet the interest so maturing
as aforesaid, so that there shall bo
no outlay by tho Government; these
bonds to be issued only to theamount
of cash expended upon tiie road and
branches, and upon the certificate of
sworn commissioners appointed by
the Government to supervise the j
building of the line and branches,
and their redemption at maturity to j
be assessed to purchasers and hold
ers by providing a sinking fund out j
■of the revenues of tho road and
i branches, to be paid by the compan
ies into the Treasury of the United
j States, of such amount as may be
| sufficient to pay off and discharge
I the entire bonded obligat ions of the
companies on which the Government
| has guaranteed the interest.

The State Census shows that he
total population of South Carolina,
! from 1870 to 1875, has increased from
| 705,000 to 023,447, an increase of 30 por
cent. This is a startling result, inas
much as from 1800 to 1870 (Including,
of course, the war period! the in
crease was less than one per cent.,
and from 1850 to iB6O only 5.20 per
cent. Tho only conclusion to which
we ean come is that the United States
census of 1870, for South Carolinia,
was radically wrong and under-esti
mated the population, or that the
populalion shown in 1875 is deter
mined rather by tho five cents per
capita paid to the census takers than
by the actual population.—-Charles
