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.

Wages Now and Before the War. -The Springfield fMassJ Republican, which has been investigating the present wageß of local labor as com pared with the wages of 1830, con fesses to some surprise at tho result, all the important, branches of in dustry except railroad service show ing an advance still retained of from forty to sixty-five per cent., and the average advance for all classes cover ed by the investigation being still fifty-two per cent. The general aver age of the excess of present over ante-war wages is given as follows: Railroads per cent.. 35 Cotton 50 Wolleu 05 ! Paper 55 • Buttons 55 Cigars .. 50 I Whips 44 Domestic 05 Iron and wood 04 Day labor . 40 Average 52 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 ten Courier. illallrnitil Accident.
