Especial Correspondence of the Republican,
New YORK, June ?.
Senator Kellogg declined the presidency
of the. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg railroad on the ground that be was
too interested in the Southern Pacific, when
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, one of the
chief owners of the former road, was chosen
president.
1t begins to transpire that Senators Nye
and Pomeroy are two of the richest MEM
bers of the Senate. Before the impeach-
ment of President johnson, Senator Pome-
roy was poor man-no better off than
poor Grimes. A constant championship of
those big Western railroad monopolies has
made Pomeroy and Nye rich, while poor
Grimes, who was charged with making a
fortune out of anti-impeachers, for his vote,
is really in stringent circumstances. Sena-
tor Pomeroy is bold operator, and his
possession of the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Vicksburg railroad was bold
coup. Not many months ago he met SEN
ator Kellogg, and inquired, incidentally,
about Louisiana railroads.
The New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
vicksburg road is good one said Sen
ator Kellogg.
Let's look at the map" said Senator
Pomeroy, and tracing his finger along the
landed back bone of your State, he contin-
ued, ''yes, it looks like good road. 1t
beats some of our Western roads to death.
wonder if we can't malseyya hard pan pur-
chase of it p ..
The next day shrewd agent was flying
toward New Orleans to inquire into the
status of the railroad, and in few weeks
Senators were startled to find their col
league from Kansas almost sole proprietor
of great Southern railroad.
MAGINNIs-TwEED.
Last night our invitation took us to the
wedding of Miss Amelia Tweed, daughter
of Senator William NJ. Tweed, and Mr.. Ar

lappels, and two groomsmen. The bridal
procession, from the door to the altar, was
as follows:
