River Fo#inSand Transportation Company,
IN relation to the refusal Of the company to
hire their barges to the Gallego Mills Manu-.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
RICHMOND. Va, 10Th June. 1875.
Mr. j. d. Redwood. Secretary James Riuer
1ortng and Transportation Company:
1t is my duty to notify you that commu-
nication has been sent me BY the Gallego
Mills Manufacturing Company, complaining
Of refusal on your part, in behalf Of your
company. to lighter part of cargo Of -four,
about 1000 barrels, to City Point, for vessel
now being loaded by said company, on the
ground that the vessel in question did not
employ your tug.boat going down the river,
and that conformable to the instructions Of
your board of directors, you decline to lighter
any portion of cargo 10 vessel which does
not employ the tugs of your company for the
toWage Of the vessel.
This position appears so very remarkable
and, permit me to say, so suicidal to the in
tereSt of your company, that besides inviting
you, as shall do, to be present at the special
meeting of our board, which doubtless will
be called early next week to consider this
subject, and which may justly be deemed as
seriously obstructing and injuring the COM
merce of our city ('aying nothing Of the in.
tereSt of your company, beg leave to call
your earnest attention TO it In behalf Of your
company, which cannot fail to be the loser
by such a course-a course which would
surely be deemed impoltic by an Individual
seeking patronage from the mercantile com.
munity, and all the more impoliic on the
part of chartered company which has en-
enjoyed the liberal patronage Of our ship.
pers, the more so as 1t is we'll known that
the shipper Of the cargo has no control
over the towage Of the vessel chartered by
him, and which is universally left to the op-
tion of the cap ain, and in many cases ar.
ranged by him when coming into the river,
before seeing or communicating with his con-
signecS.
There can be little doubt that if your COM
pany adheres to a determination Of obstruc:-
ing instead of facilitating business arrange
mcnts, our shippers will devise mcans of
dispensing with its services altogether.
Hoping you will ponder on these suggestions
in tue spirit in which they are offered, re-
main yours, respectfully.

A CHERISHED DESIRE.

Fer years 1t has been the cherished desire OF a
large class that there might be me0ic discovered
which would entirely cure Scrofua and no: leave a
taint of the disease In the system.
setting aside all controversy upon the theory of
transissbe scrofuIa the fact Is indis putable that
the disease has existed for centuries, and was never
more prevalent than at the present time and
though it IS hereditary In It's nature, the fire.
quent cause of the disease may be attributed to
whatever imrairs the vital energies such as dtssl.
patton. unwholesore food, intcmpcrance, want OF
cleanliness of person, orcr-excrtlou of mind or
holy, etc.
Scrofua often nanifests itself in gandular IN.
mors, frequently In the neck. causing no pain Il,
Grst, but procec IS slowly to an inflammatory state
and generally after long time, forms an ulcer. III
some cases the eyes are the principal seat Of the
disease, having constantly All inflmcd appearance.
The bones of scrofulous pcrSous liable to dis
ease, especially those of the spine. The lungs are
particularly liable to attack by the formation OF
tuhcrces. and invalids are often deceived into the
belief that they have decpseaed consumption, and
Tor which they are treated, when In reality theil
trouble Is caused from scrofula In the blood.
In all the various forms Of scrofula and the long
train of diseases 1t induces, the patient can only
obtain substantial benefit through the blood with
ycvct ,be substances. and from which VEG ETISf {
Is carefully compounded from the best Ingredient:
the dis pen>ary OF nature furnishes. making IL one
of the greatest cleansers of the blood that Is
be puttogetler.
YEGETISE will eradicate every trace Of scrof-
MIA from the system as The following reliable evil
dence will show
