The friends of the Droiect will observe this with interest. Mr And yet it is not so satisfactory as would at first appear : for the-geaeral itnpteson in.tlrfs part oi "the State has braihat as iddh as Jthe affairsf6the Trgiiadlanfeapany Were "gotten into a satisfactory condition and the company relieved of its embarrassment - a t f : i a f. xi in ma way oi suu ircuuuiK um ius courts, the Baltimore and Ohio com pany would at once . come, ta its .assist ance, and, with the aid which has been promised from residents along the pro posed line, build the extension at once This meeting seems to indicate that the business men of 13altimbi have re ceived no such satisfactory assurances, but that, on the contrary, they feel the nec.essitf , oftaking some action at once to recuse tne ousiness wnicii sucn i ttitoM&teingnhm. Bnsiness com munities do not move quickly in such matters, and it will require a deal of agitation to induce Baltimore's busi ness people to subscribe the requisite tfy.p$ Altogether ;we are (jisposed to regrdjthe movement .of the .Merchants and Manufacturers' Association as an pyld.i the. road; isnot to be speedily built, though it may be a be ginning which shall utimately result in toe carry ingout of this grand scheme of a rjVal through ; line frgtn North to" Soutfc. .' tor taifc Is ' that Baltimore wfeuld receive the chief benefits tf such a line. The speech f Ml. Bland, given ia tne report, shows very clearly the ne cessity of forming the connection at Charlotte, instead of making a junction at some'poiht on the Air Line below this city, and it is safe4 to say that if the Baltimore business men have any thing to say as to bow the line shall tun, they will not consent to its,, passing around Charlotte in the manner proposed. Possibly the movement of the Mer chant and Mannf actuW's1 Association may have been originated by" the Balti more and Ohio company in the hope-of securing as rauch aid in that city as possible. In this view of the case, the apprehension abov referred to would be groundless. But the report of the proceedings does not seem to warrant . such an opinion, for one of the speak ers admits that the plans of the Balti more and Ohio company are not known. In short, nothing more appears to be known at th headquarters of the com pany than along the proposed line. The Republican minority, in Congress by their; filibustering ami obstruction measures succeeded in defeating the three leading measures urged by the majority of that body, the failure of which has rendered it more notorious for what didn't do than for what it ac tually accomplished. The attempt to pass an electoral bill had to be aban doned altogether for this reason and before the new Senate had gotten 0T7 ganizedout comes "Mr. Blaine with a proposition looking to the very thing his. party has been engaged in defeat ing.' They are responsible to the coun try for the failure of the apportion ment bill, on account of which thirty Legislatures will have $0 meet in ex tra session this winter at a cost to the people of nearly a million dollars. The funding scheme was delayed so long that therer was. jbot time to prepare a new bill after the President's veto, and consequently the question of funding isas far !tom being settled tOnday as it was too months ago, and hence busi ness suffers to a more or less extent on account of th?r uncertainty which sur- rounds teinui'rnese are. some ofStia-Jthiigsihe' tfepabHcarr minority is responsible for, and which an intelligent public wiH not allow to be charged to theemocraUc majority. Texas denies theright a wnite man to marry a colored woman. One Emile Francois asserted his right to marry despite the Texas code. He was indicted, convicted and sentenced to priB fiT years. The case was car riedTbeftrB the United States circuit court, and J ustice Woods decides that the fourteenth amendment abrogates that article of the Texas criminal code under which Francois was convicted.

He began life as a serveyor, but his socia position was increased and he obtained wealth by marrying the Widow -Oustis.

John Adams was a son of a farmer and shoemaker, although his family had been settled in Massachusetts for seven generations. The Adamses are one of a few American families that can be called historical. They are known in pontics, law, literature and statesmanship. They are also known for their wealth. No family can com pare with them in the number of of fices they have filled and the respect in which they are entertained. In an eient Rome they would have "been call ed a consular family. They are the Ad amsesof Quincy.and in France Charles Prancis Adams would be called M. de Quincy. Quincy is an old French, or ra ther a Norman name, and appears in the roll or Battle AbDy.it has only a termor ial relation to the Adamses. The name belongs properly to another great American family, descended from an ancestor who was in the battle of Hast ings, A. D. 10(36. John Adams was lawyer by profession. Thomas Jefferson was also a lawyer. His family held a good, but not a high, social rank in Virginia. He made For himself a great name for all times as a legislator, an author, a diplomatist and a political leader, but his greatest achievement was the writing of tho Declaration of Independence. He came into public lire through the struggle Deiween tne uoionies ano England. James Madison came from a wealthy iam uy or v 11 gmia planters, ue was a lawyer, but never practiced much at the bar, having entered public life very eany. ie was a great studsnt. James Monroe was also the son of a Virginia planter and lawyer, but like Maaison ne went early into public life, He served honorably in the army and in many civil offices. He had a wide experience in public affairs and a thor ough training in statesmanship. John Quincy Adams was the oldest son of John Adams and a lawyer: but his lite was divoted to public service, with a. few interludes given to literary pursuits, ne was educated lor states mausuip uy ins parents anu nad a lar ger and more varied experience in pub life than any other President. Andrew Jackson was a poor boy, whose early life was full of hardships. He came from .a poor Southern fam- ly and at manhood began the practice 01 tue law. iiis pursuits were various. He was a politician and served in both uuuses ui congress. lie was also a merchant, a judge, a planter and a sold ier. Martin Van Buren's father was loo poor to give him an education, and whatever he was he owed to his own exertions. He struggled along, as many a poor boy is doing to-day, and eventually obtained a fair education and was admitted to the bar, where he achieved a high position. Wm. Henry Harrison's father was by no means rich, but a Virginia plan ter in comfortable circumstances. He was a signer of the Declaration of In dependence. The son entered the army early and his accounts as Commis sary may no w be seen in the Treasury Department, and are at once specimens clerical skill. He occupied several trusts in civil life. John Taylor was the son of an emi nent Virginian, who occupied many high public offices. Taylor himself was admitted to the bar when but 19 years old. He was for many years in the State Legislature and was speaker of the Assembly. He was also a member of Congress. James K. Polk, was the son of a farm -in moderate circumstances, and was a clerk ia a store. He subsequently stud ied law and was a member of the Ten nessee Legislature for five terms. lie was fourteen years in Congress, and, refusing a re-election, was chosen Gov ernor of his State. Zachary Taylor was the son of poor parents. His father was Colonel Rich ard Taylor, who won distinction in the Revolution. He emigrated to Ken tucky soon after his son's birth. The son's life, after leaving the plantation, was spent in the army. He was on du ty in Louisana when elected Presi dent, and he remained at his post until he came to Washington to be inaugura ted, b Millard Fillmore was of the hum blest origin, and his early life was spent in close poverty. He served an appren ticeship of five years to the fuller's trade. He subseouentlv educated him self and became a lawyer; ' Fjnldto Pierce was the son of Gen eral Benjamin Pierce, a Revolutionary officer. He taught school and studied law, but as a lawyer he was not distin guished. He was in both houses of Congress, and when he entered that body was the youngest member of the Senate. He was a brigadier general in the Mexican War. James Buchanan was the son of an Irishman from the county of Donegal, who early settled in Pennsylvania. He studied law, held several offices in the State, was in both houses of Congress and Minister to England. His public life was long and active. . Abraham Lincoln, as everybody knows, was a rail-splitter and flatboat man.who educated himself, became a great lawyer and was in Congress. As a writer of the English language he had no superior. Andrew Johnson was of the lowest origin. He learned the trade of a tailor and was so ignorant when he arrived at man's estate that he could neither read nor write. His wife taught him both after he was married. He was in the State Legislature and in both houses of Congress. Ulysses S. Grant was the son of an obscure mnn in humble circumstances. Hb graduated from West Point, but re signed from the army and became very poor. He subsequently became the greatest soldier of bis time. Rutherford B.Hayes And now James A. Garfield may be recorded as of humble origin a canal boatman, a school teacher, a college fjrofessor, a preacher, a lawyer, a legis ator, a soldier, a lecturer, a Congress man, etc. it will be seen from the above that more than four-fifths of the Presidents of the United States have been lawyers, and it will also be seen that nearly half of them have been of humble ori gin.
