PROPOSED SALE OF LITTLE ROCK
RAILROAD BONDS.


There Is stilI another scheme before
the Board Of Mayor anJ Aldermen
none other than the sale Of the city
stock in tie Little Rock Railroad, to
certain parties who think it worth about
ten cents on the dollar; are willing to
take IL az that price, and relieve Mem
pais of the care aad trouble Of dividends
thst are sure to come in a few years after
this, when the most important railroad
running into tine city is finished. The
parties who hungeged for this GOR
6Ouche are the same, We under
stand, who desired to perform q sim
ilsr Cfice for the city and relieve
her Of her Mississippi and Teunes-
zee bonds. They have now boxed
the financial compass, and having failed
to pluck pr2ft FUN thsir labors viii X
nope, turn their attention il some other
and more remunerstiye direction. We
suggest New York, aud Erie and Central
stock ss something that will salt them.
They are 20 untiring in their pursuit Of
railroad bonds, and 50 cute IN finding
ways in which they can profit Memphis
by relieving her Of her burdenscme 0bli-
cations in the shape Of railroad stock,
that We begin 10 fear that they may
i" clip up" on Us aud yet realize some
thing and the citizens Of This goodly
town wakeup some fEe morning to fad
themselves mulcted in somewhat Ct that
they now possess, and should prizs be-
youd price. The Board CT Aldermen,
we undeTFtsnd, had this proposition IN.
der consideration at q secret session. We
also learn that they refused to think Of
Il after New Year at less than twelve
cents. We would advise them not to
think Of II 81 sll after New Year. Such
q course would be good for their political
health, and will promote very much
their status among their nsighbors. All
these schemes Of purchase should have
the go-by from cur City FAlhers. They
are bad upon their face, and always show
the profits On the wrong side OF the
Ledger.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER RAILROAD.

Il has been jestiHg]y iat.natsd otla,e
that Mr.. MITCHELL, Prssilza:
II ssiesipIi River z R iircSd, had hired the
Ring" 20 make tie attempt they cid
to seize the charter and franchises o;ths5
compEny. Cer,.inly il he had done 50.
Mr.. MITCHELL could not have pes.orna-
! ed a more sdroit act, or one that VIII
rebound more TO the success OF his enter
prise ana the prosperity Of Memphis.
The intense interest caused by the dis
cussion Of Col. TATE's proposition, while
it has resulted il Tie utter condemnation
OF the same, has 8t the ssue time
brought cut more imprsssiyely than
twelve months placid discussion you'd
have done, the absolute necessity Of the
Mississippi River r id as e higagay Of
international travel.
But the srgume 50 Tar hsve been
mainly confined &, that view OF the
road, leaving cut Of sight the more
vital consideration to the people Mem

Of the clty's commerce, aud the pusvayor

It should be known then, that every

OF Memphis three fourths q the market
