EDITORS LEDGER: Allow me to use
your valuable paper for the purpose Of
drawing the attention of our Memphis
merchants to the inconsistency of GER
tain parties who are straining every
nerve in order to raise the nice little sum
of five thousand dollars, to be donated to
Captain John Davis, of the White River
Packet Line, as a bonus, in order to
enable him TO carry out the under
standing with the Government, which
was, "that for the consideration of
$20,S00 he should carry the Vicksburg
mail, and place a regular packet in the
trade for that purpose" AS suggested,
in a former notice of this attempt to
raise this sum of money from our mer-
chants, all CAPTAIN Davis has o do. is
to place boat in the trade, and he will
then save the FIVE thousand dollars il
costs him at present for sub-letting the
contract to transient boats.
Should Captain Davis succeed in this
singular effort of his, and raise $4,000
from the hard earnings of our merchants,
the same discrimination will be exer-
cised in favor of other ports (such as
Louisville, ST. Louis, etc y as at present
prevails in the White river trade.
