Those instrumental in bringing this

who have been guilty participants in

Railroad Meeting.

,sissippi) Chronicle

The Kosciusko tMississippil Chronicle
says:
We call especial attention to the proceed
ings of railroad meeting, held in our town
on the twenty fourth ultimO. There was a
large asselnblage of our people, all of whom
appeared to be alive to the great Importance
OF extending the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern railroad from Canton
to this place, and thence north in the direc-
ton of Aberdeen. General A. M. West, one
of the directors of the road, and the repre-
sentative of the president of the company
Colonel III. s. McComb, was with us, and
addressed the meeting. He said that it was
the intention of the company to carry out,
in good faith, its part of the law contained
in the amended charter, to wit: To complete
the road to KosciuskO by the first of JAN
uary, 1874, and through to Aberdeen by the
first of January, 1877. He ridiculed the
idea that had been advanced by some that
it was the intention of the company to stop
the road at this place. In regard to the
pecunary aid required of the people, he
said that the company only asked that they
comply with the law-furnish $500 per
mile, north of this place. He argued, and
we think very justly too, that while there
was no specific amount required to be paid
to extend the road from Canton to this
place, still it was the intention of the Legis
cities and towns through which the road
will pass from Canton to Aberdeen should
bear the burden imposed north of KOsci-
usko equally. He argued that the most
equitable way of raising the required sum
would be by subscriptions to the stock of
the company by bonds, redeemable in an
nual installments, by taxation. He did not
suggest any particular sum to be raised in
this way by our county, but said that if our
people would raise 100000 in this way,
payable in fifteen years, that he was au-
thorized to say that the road would be COM
pleted and the cars running to this place by
the fourth day OF July, 1872 He said also
that not dollar would be required to be
paid until the road reached this place, and
that the money paid should be applied to
the payment Of the $500 mile, required
by the law, north of Kosciusko. We think
that General Vests explanation Of the law,
and his propositions, were just and fair,
and met the views of large majority of his
hearers.
petition was presented to tie president
of the board of supervisors asking that
body TO submit a proposition to the people
of the county to subscribe, by bonds of the
county redeemable in fifteen years, the sum
of Sl000 to the capital stock of the New
Orleans, jackson and Great Northern Rail
road Company. We presume that the board
of supervisors will take action upon the
matter at their meeting in July.

Change of German Arms.

From the st. Louis Republican.
New YORK, June 29.-The special Berlin
correspondent of the World writes under
the date of June Ia
Everybody will be greatly surprised to
hear that at this present moment the Prus-
sian authorities are contemplating general
exchange of the undnadel for the chasse-
pot. The needle gun, in fact, is doomed
and the choice lies solely between the Mar
tent Henry rifle and the chassepOt The for
mer is admitted to be better, but then it is
costly and every one of them would have to
be bought OF the chassepots there are
$4,000 ready to hand Bavaria has come to
a decision already, though it will not finally
cast away its old Warder rifle. 1t has been
resolved to serve out $1,000 fchassepots,
which form its share of the common booty,
to the bulk of its line For the troops in
Prussia, the coexistence of two different
guns is not deemed advisable, and great
number of rifles, will, therefore, have to be
newly fabricated; still 81, 900 chassepots are
an argument in favor of that weapon. An
other change is proposed and that is defn-
itely decided upon, is the reintroduction of
bronze guns versus cast steel. The cast
steels were intended to constitute spec
ialty of the Prussian army, as destructive
as the needle gun. Like that, they were
created with magic powers. This belief
was founded only on prejudice, and the late
war has taught the military authorities
that bronze answers the purpose, in many
cases, just as well, which, considering its
