plants have been made IN northern papers OF alleged
misconduct in the President and Directors OF the Ala
bama and Mississippi Rail Road Company. This
Company was chartered for the purpose OF making a
Rail Road from Jackson TO the Alabama llne with

at 80 or 80 day accepted IN New Orleans and IN de,
posite in the Bank Of Lousana" and has proposed
to that Bank to furnish checks in New York and
Philadelphia to the amount of $500 600 II does
not appear that the checks were furnished and does
not appear that they not furnished IN time. The
management of this operation seems to have been very
unskilful-even supposing it one of the legitimate
modes of doing business.
The capt stock of the Bank, nominaly, is little
