SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENT

oOOIAEnN COmMERClAL CONVENTION.
NEW ORLEANS, May 27.-The Commercial
Convention, upon assembling this morning,
took up the report of the Committee on the re-
moval of distractions from the mouth Of the
Mississippi river. The report, without recon-
mendlng any particular plan of operations, re
spectfully c0mmendS to the attention of the
General Government the suggestions of the
New Orleans Chamber Of Commerce on the
subject; that while acknowledging the lib
eral appropriations for the removal Of obstruc-
tions, they would, in view of the large accumu-
lation Of deposit within the past few years,
earnestly urge the necessity of still further
appropriation for continuing the work. and
also recommends that the control of the un-
dertaking be confided entirely to the United
States Engineer Bureau, in which they express
entire confidence. The report was adopted.
The following, which was embodied in both
the majority and minority reports OF the Paci-
fc Railroad Company, was adopted:
ReS0tUed, That the main trunk Railroad from
San Diego, California, should be built to the
junction of the rivers Colorado and Gila, along
the valley of the Gila, south of the same, to Ei
Paso, on the Rio Grande; thence to a conve-
nient point near the 32d parallel west of the
Braz0s, at or near the river, in the State of
Texas; to which main trunk feeding roads
may be built from Cairo, Memphis, Vicksburg,
New Orleans and Galveston on the east, and
Guayamas, Mazatlan and San Francisco on
the west, with equal rights OF connection
for all; which shall be known and designated
as the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The discussion on the Pacific railroad was
lengthy and exciting. and a longitudinal route
from Cairo to Mazatlan was strongly advocat-
ed by the Texans and Illnoians. The conven-
tion adjourned at 8 z. M. until tomorrow. A
number of new delegates arrived yesterday
and to-day. A few departed this evening.
