AOnestiOn of Yerneitx

From information received by promi-
nent cotton shipper, We yesterday stated
that he had shipped fifty bales of cotton to
Louisville, where he received through
bills of ladingto New York at 81 20
The statement has brought out the fol-
lowing letter from Major Bransford, the
General Agent Of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad:
NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 22d.-CHAs.
w. ANDERSON, GENERAL FREIGHT AGENT
NASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA RAIL
RoAD-DEAR SIR: The statement con.
tanned in the morning issues of the Republi-
can Banner and UNION AND AMERICAN,
10 the effect that cotton was shipped on this
road yesterday at 81 0per 100 pounds to
New York, is incorrect. The Banner says
our rate to Louisville is 81 per bale. This
is a mistake. Our rate to Louisville is
81 % per bale. The rate from Louisville
to New York is 81 40 per 100 pounds, and
not 81 20 per 100 pounds as stated in these
papers. | have before me the cotton tariff,
date to October 18th, signed by Thomas
Carse, General Freight Agent Jefferson
vile TallrOauJ anu W. u. Mccoy, Generai
Freight Agent Mail Line, making the rate
from Louisville 81 40 to New York, 81 80
to Philadelphia, and 81 20 per 100 pounds
to Baltimore.
have also before me a letter from Mr.
Van Alstin, General Freight Agent of this
road, dated yesterday, stating substantially
that the rate from Nashville cannot be re-
duced or "cuf' by consigning entire ship
ments to any one in Louisville. These gen
tlenen, believe, we're all delegates to the
Memphis Convention, of which you were
President, that established existing rates
from Nashville tothe Atlantic cities. All the
lines between and leading from Memphis
Cairo, Evansville, Louisville and CiRcin-
natl, l understand are pledged to maintain
the rate. No agent representing lines
leading over this road has authority TO cut
the rate except by my permission, and my
instructions are promptly to MAINTAIN them.
Yours, truly,
JNo 5, BRAEsFoRD,
General 4 gant
