Mississippi Railroads.

A meeting was held at Bottoms, Kinds
county, ON the twenty ninth ultime, TO con-
slider the WAYS and means Of aiding the
several railroads in which Kinds county is
Immediately interested. David Shelton,
of Jackson, being called upon, explained
the objects Of the meeting, urged concert OF
action upon the part OF the entire county,
and suggested plans TO reconcile seemingly
conflicting interests, and 10 enlist all locali-
ties n the proposed project. He was forcl-
BILE and eloquent in his presentation OF the
Importance of railroads toward the general
development of the country, and in the
propriety of furnishing material aid TO the
proposed railroads through Kinds county
Colonel w. d. Mann, president of the
Mobile and Northwestern Roilroad, in
response to a general invitation, addressed
the meeting at considerable length, not
| only in behalf of the road with which he is
Immediately identified, but showing that
| the success and permanent prosperity OF the
| other roads would be materially enhanced
and secured by the construction OF great
through competing line such as the Mobile
and Northwestern railroad must become.
Colonel Mann's remarks were thoroughly
practical and highly instructive, and were
listened TO with profound attention.
On motion of 5. NJ. Shelton, OF Raymond,
il was
Resolred, That III view of the brief notice
calling this meeting, a more general lneeIG g
of the citizens of Kinds county be held at
Bottoms on Thursday, September 7, and
that all the people OF Kinds be invited 70
attend.
Resolred further, That a committee, con-
sisting of two from each Of the following
roads: the Mobile and Northwestern, the
Yazoo City, Raymond and Crystal Springs,
the Natchez and jackson, and the Vicks-
burg. Pensacola and Ship Island railroads,
be appointed as committee circumference
10 consult together and harmonic any con-
ticting interest of said roads in this county,
and recommend what proportional amount
should be voted to each road, and to invite
the presidents and other officers of said
roads TO be present at the meeting to be
held September 7, 1871.
On motion of j. L. Power, the members
of the board of supervisors of Kinds county
were specially invited TO attend the meet
ing on the seventh of September.
On motion, j. L. Power was elected
treasurer.
On motion. the Secretary was requested
70 solicit reduced rates OF fare for the meet
ing on the seventh from the officers of the
Vicksburg and Meridian, and New Orleans,
jackson and Great Northern railroads.
On motion, the papers Of Kinds, Warren,
Yazoo, Copiah, Jefferson and Adams coun-
ties, and the papers of the city Of New Or
leans were requested TO publish the pro
ceedings of the meeting.

RAID ON A GAMBLING HOUSE, Why Vas
H?Thursday night Sergeant Kelly, fifth
precinct skipped over many evils and sores
between Elysian Fields street and the
United States Barracks, and captured a
house where banking game was in pro
gress French Jack was there, also one of
his relations; Captain Duncan, eighth po-
lice precinct, was there, and several
butchers. The sergeant arrested the
gamblers, but did not arrest Captain Dun
can, the acknowledged proprietor Of the
establishment. Dry bones ratified around
pretty lively for few minutes when the
police approached" and a few hundred
dollars in currency took sudden wings.
The case was before Recorder Leclere yes
terday, and Captain Duncan's name ap-
peared in the affidavit, when he was ar
rested.
The question arises, why did not Sergeant
Kelly, with his corporaPs guard, pounce
down on other gambling houses, which are
known TO be running between Elysian Fields
street and the barracks Why skip over
open places and raid house located near
the parish lines It may be all right, but
forcible questions will crowd in. Captain
Duncan is not inclined 10 hide the fact that
he is proprietor of the house, but insists that
he will run his place as long as other estab-
Iishments are permitted TO operate. Per
haps this arrest will lead to some important
developments.

deau, who, having the certified invoice and
ocean bill of lading in hand, will forward
the merchandise with charge for commits
sions of any kind, and for appraisement
here-thus avoiding all perplexing delays
and expensive charges for drayages, ware
housing, tarpaullns, watching, cooperlng,
ETC.. at New Orleans.
The advantage of this new law to the st.
Louis merchant, who imports direct will be
understood when it is stated that careful
computations have been made proving that
upon several lines of merchandise the ex-
pense of extra handling, warehousing, etc,
at New Orleans, fully equals the imposition
of ten per cent additional duty beyond the
tariff charge, to say nothing of delay, break
age, leakage, loss of interest, etc.
We have been shown bill of lading COW
ering an importation of earthenware con-
signed to the well known house of John
Samson g. Co., No. i07 South Maine street,
1.-THE head of which firm was for many years
an accomplished customs ofhcer), in which
the rate of freight by steamship and barge
line from Liverpool to st. Louis is the re-
markably low figure of 81 cents per 100
pounds, divided as follows: 90 cents from
Liverpool to New Orleans, and 25 cents
from New Orleans to ST. Louis. These
goods will land here' in twenty-six days
from the time of shipment; will be trans
ferred at New Orleans without drayage or
this item of transfer alone, charge equal
ing fair mercantile profit which the con-
sumer of the West has hitherto been COM
PEELED to pay. =
This new arrangement permits this COM
pany to receive at New Orleans and forward
as ABOVE detailed, every description of i'm
ported merchandise, and it only remains for
our merchants to second the efforts of the
line made to open a way for direct imports,
and to avoid exorbitant charges at the sea-
board by ordering their goods consigned 10
the agent at New Orleans. This will be a
small return for their enterprise, and be, at
the same time, for themselves direct stroke
of economy and an exercise of business wis
dom. st. Louis now imports more than
Chicago and Cincinnati combined, and if
our merchants choose they can make her
the greatest distributing point for imported
commodities in the Union. Let them buy
all their foreign wares direct from the pro-
Queer across the water, use the transpOrta-
ton lines which law and regulations have
so conveniently placed at their disposal,
and have done with the old-time practice OF
purchasing through second hands-com-
PEELED to pay a second profit themselves, and
| to charge third TO the consumer. ST. Louis
| must be, in fact and IL practice, as well as
in name and theory, a full port Of entry, with
all the attendant privileges.
