ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE.


The meeting held in the Rotunda on last
Saturday evening, was pro-extension meet
ing. The resolutions reported by the com
mittee appointed by the meeting, were in
favor of increase and Improvement on the
present city limits, and almost all the speak
ers on the occasion advocated the proposed
extension. This subject seems 10 have re-
ceived quiet,s by the doings of that meet
ing and l suppose those opposed 10 exten
sion viii give their concurrence and be will
ing TO urge their own private interests in
the. greatest, good of the greatest number"
The Sh,nplaSter question is not without
interest at this time, yet the action of the
Brokers in publishing a list of the Banks
whose paper will no longer be received as
currency, will soon force such "stuf'' from
our State and restore for time, tranquility
10 the money market.
A new project is on foot this week in re-
gard 10 the Improvement Of two of our prin-
cipal streets, which completely lays in The
shade the Rail Road project. 1t will be a
novelty of practice, yet not unthought Of by
hundreds Of our citizens; ii is to petition the
Legislature to charter Ferry Company,
who shall have the exclusive privilege OF
navigating in Boats, the two great thorough
fares, Broadway and Fourth streets, with
the right TO levy upon passengers such tax
as will best redown TO the glory and interest
Of the company. AS in every other grand
jubilee scheme, there are rot few who cry
aloud monopoly! mororoly! monopoly =
Testing aside, the streets referred TO, are
filed at various points with a kind Of lob
Jolly that would SWIM small dogs and per-
chance occasionally float those of larger
growth. This must ever be the situation
ofthose streets in winter and spring, SO long
as they are McAdamized as at present, with
soft limestone. The dust Of summer is u:
unpleasant as the mud of winter.
