vote of the stockholders of the road,
held al Saint Louis on Saturday last,
agreed to consolidate these roads under
one management and the consolida-
ton went into effect ON Monday, and

roads named:
The old Iron Mountain railroad, in
elusive of its branches, has two hum
dred and eleven miles of main track
and fifty-siX miles Of side track. The
guage is five feet. The Arkansas
branch has one hundred miles oftrack.
The equipment Of these two roads, ac-
cording to the latest official report, was
ninety-eight locomotives, torty-oGe
passenger train cars, sixteen hundred
and siXty-seven freight train cars, and
seven other cars; total, seventeen hun
dred and seventeen. IL owned jointly
with the Western Union Telegraph
company two hundred and ten miles of
telegraph. The passenger traffic for

lic 6S2,0O3 tons. The gross earnings
were 81 1864, PSI operating expenses
81 ,6l7 ,S55, and net earnings for 1878,
S3l6, 426. The capital stock was $40,
10000; the two mortgages, $S.622 800,
payable in 1892 and 1897, and these,
with other items, made the total liabil-
tiles Sl9,35l ,232 The assets were,

The United States supreme court, on
the 18th instant, decided the case of
Tappan, collector of taxes of Chicago,
VS.. the Merchants National bank of
Chicago, from the circuit court of Hi
nois, presenting the question whether
the legislature of Illinois could, in
1867, provide for taxation of owners of
shares of capital stock of national
bank in that state, at place within
the state where the bank was located,
without regard to their place of resi-
dcnce. The court below decided the
tax could not be thus laid, and the
decree was against the collector. That
decree is here reversed, the court hold
ing that shares of stock in national
banks are personal property under the
national banking act. They are n sne-
cies of personal property, says the
court, which is in one sense intangible
and incorporal, but the law which
creates them may separate them from
the person of the owner for purposes OF
taxation. Chief Justice Waite deliv-
cred the opinion.

ANNEXATION.

Arkansas does not approve oil the
annexation scheme which is before
the Texas legislature. Here Is what
the Little Rock Gazette says of it:
Our Texas neighhors are greedy,
They have II state which is larger than
the whole of New England, several
time larger than Louisiana and Arkan-
sns combined, and yet they desire to
annex y portion of Louisiana-two
parishes, and all that portion Of Arkan-
sas living south and west of Red river.
IL may not be generally known that in
early times Arkansas claimed large
territory on the west side OF Red river,
Miller county, by name, embracing
also portion of the present county OF
Lafayette, aud portion Of northern
Texas. The boundary line of this ter
ritory, before the erection of the state
of Arkansas, on the west, was then the
Kiomeche river, instead of the line
from Lanesport and Fort Smith, as at
present. ..,,

sentative, Henry w. Conway, but was

The explanation of the phenomena
most popular among the mountaineers
is that given by Mr.. Gillian, an uned.
ucated man who resides near Bald
mountain. He said that three years
ago he run a coon into hole in the
side of Bald mountain, and that, in
order to capture his prey, he had built
a fire in the hole to smoke it out, The
fire, he says, is burning yet, and it is
the caving in of the mountains interior
that has caused all this disturbance
All the evidence attainabie tends to
limit the disturbance between Hickory

Swananoa and Cat,wba valleys--an
area of about twenty-five miles long

the wish and protest Of the people Of
the territory.
The strip Of country Texas now de-
sires from Arkansas, lies In Lafayette
county, on the south side of Red river
1t Is at no point more than twenty
miles wide, and is about forty miles
long, commencing a few miles above
the mouth Of Mill creek, and extend
ing to the Louisiana line.
Texas has about rs much territory ms
she can well manage now. While the
strip she desires from Arkansas Is
small, yet we suggest to the people of
northern Texas, who are urging this
scheme, to make u new state, with
Dallas, orsome other enterprising town
centrally located, as the capital. Then
she can have all the territory south of
Red river, and as much of north Louis
lana as the people of that state are
willing to give her. Arkansas has
none to spare.
