Boyle and the Directors to take such
steps as they may deem. necessary to

of the road at the earliest practical
period. Eg9
Gen. Boyle will leave Immediately

responsible capitalists and railroad
men, to put the road through at once
The best of feeling prevails, and
the resolutic n was adopted with great
unanimity. The friends Of this great

its complete success, and that the

out any further vexatious delays.

NEW YORK

Secretary Robson, Admiral Porter
and sen. sherman on their In-
specting TOuF-ImpOFtant Railway
Schemes on Foot - The Case OF
Bailey rs. O'Aah0ney.
New York. August 17.-George r.
Butler, President Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Memphis, was to day
brought before Judge McCunn, in
obedience to a writ Of Ha5eas corpus,
/ bat his examination was postponed
until Thursday. The prisoner was
accordingly taken back to his head
quarters. No requisition has yet been
received from Tennessee.
Secretary Robeson, Admiral Porter
and Gen. Sherman, who arrived yes
terday by the Tallapoosa, viii proba-
bly, leave tomorrow afternoon, for
New London; from there they will
proceed to Newport, Boston and other
New England ports where navy var ds
and Notifications exist. ---...l
There are some important railroad
schemes on foot IN this city. The
representatives of the New York Cen
trail, Erie, Pennsylvania, Baltimo ore &
Ohio, and Michigan Southern Rail-
roads are in session on the freight
tariff question, and it is expected that
the present low rates Will soon give
way to the.old tariff. The officials of
the Erie, Michigan Southern, and
Wabash Roads are negotiating for
the consolidation of the two latter, on
condition that the Erie does not build
the new road from Akron to Toledo.
The managers of the trunk lines to
the West are looking to a contract
with either or both the Northwest
ern and Rock Island Roads, so as to
complete their connections with the
Pacific Railroad. The rivalry for
freights has led to sharp competition
for passenger traffic. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad 60 day put on a train
which Will run from here 70. Chicago
in thirty hours. This win compel
rival lines 70 shorten time.
The case of Bailey rs. O'Mahony was
up before Judge McCunn to-day. on
motion to Vacate the Injunction re-
strainiug Receiver Barr from paying
over the funds in his possession to
any person except by order of the
court, and also to set aside an order
appointing a receiver. Mr.. Bailey
claims that the purpose for which the
money was collected has been aban-
doncd, and the amount rIghtiDlly be-
longs to the holders Of the Irish Re
public. On behalf of O'Mahony, it
was urged that the Fenian organiza-
ton is now more prosperous than
ever. The leaders are really willing
TO comply with the terms, and pay the
principal and interest six months after |
the recognition ofthe Irish Republic. !
The chief point, however, on which !
0'Mahony relied was, that the bonds !
were issued for an Illegal purpose,
aud that the bondholders had there
