Reform i'm ATanasement-RestO-
ration of Rates for Through
Business-Etc.

SARATOGA, II. Y, August l7.-Tbe
conferences Of the managers of southern
railroads concluded their session to-day.
The business committee reported and
recommended remedial measures for
the evils now existing and threatening
to bankrupt the property committed to
their care.
Tle first reform III the existing man
agsment is restoration of the rates for
through business to prices fair and just,
as between the companies and their ps-
irons, adjusted with reference to uni
formity and performance, so far SIS may
be practicable.
Second-As mesns of avoiding COM
ps;itioD, the committee recommend a
division OF territory as between COnpet-
ing lines, and when arrangements can
not be effected, then divide the business
al the competing points, When the
competing roads cannot agree, then re-
fer the matter to aTbitratOrs.
Third-The abandonment OF the pay
ment Of commissions to influence trade
or travel between competing lines.
In fuTtheTanCe Of these views it is rec.
commended that the southern railway
and steamship lines form permanent
association, as an organization caIculat-
ed to effect good, promoting fair man.
agement between competing lines; and
it is urged On sll to become members,
and abide by the decisions of said asso-
citation, as being absolutely necessary to
enable it to meet the objects OF its crea.
ton.
Il was recommended to have an an
rual reunion at this place of the mana
gers and parties interested in the rail-
roads Of the country, for such action as
may be deemed beneficial to the inter.
ests represented. The president was re-
quested to give notice OF the next meet
ing in August, 1877. The discussiOn oil
the rsport, and some other resolutions
introduced, elected valuable information
regarding the several roads represented,
and the members feel that much benefit
will ersue from this conaultstioo. Full
proceedings are TO be printed in pam.
phlet form, and copies sent to all rail-
roaGs, steamship and steamboat lines
connecting with them.

COMPTROLLER GAINEs's LETTER.
COMPTRoLLER'5 OFFICE,

NASHVILLE, TENN, august IL, iSI6.
Major W. 81. Rhea, Memphis, Tenuessec:I
DEAR SIR-Your favor of the eleventh
instant, addressed to Governor Porter,
was referred to me this evening, iUsL as
the governor was about to leave the
city for West Tennessee, and I reply at
once. About the fifteenth Of June, 1875,
I vert to New York city for the pur-
L0se Of negotiating loan with view
Of paying the instailmant Of interest on
the State debt falling due July l, 1875,
I carried with me q istter written by
Governor Porter to prominent citizen
thsn in New York, in which letter t1e
ground was taken that he (GOvornOF
Porter would not, under any circum-
stances, consent to tins State borrowing
money st q higher rata OF interest than
six per cent. per annum, and that il the
loan could not De effected at that rate
the interest Oh The State debt muat go
unpaid until it could be met cut Of the
actual receipts from the revenues of the
State. In the course Of the negotiations
the lsttsr was shown TO and read by tGs
banker through whom we expected to
obtain the desired amOuHt Of money,
and to it vas attributed the failure to ef-
feet the loan. AS to the question OF coll
isterals, l assumed the duties of comp
troler on the eighth day Of February,
1875, out did rot obtain from my pre-
decessor an inventory Of the books, pa
pers and assets Of the c0mptroller's office
until the fourth day Of June, 1875. This
inventory covered g certain number Of
the bonds OF the State deposited as COL
lateral in the Fourth national bank Of
New York, bat contained no schedule or
description of the bonds, nor
was such a schedule found on file il the
Office. 1 had, therefore, at the time 10
knowledge Of the character OF these
bonds. At all events, they had been
hypatheoated, and were then held, ss
collateral, for balance due on a loan
effected in December, 1874, and remained
there on deposit until the loan had been
psid in full. AS matter Of fact, pOr-
ton of these bonds had bean paid IN on
account sale Of q railroad, and delivered
by purchasers, on order Of Governor
John C.. Brown, to the bank above re-
ferrsd to. In conclusion, 1t is only Que
to Governor Porter to say that 4rom the
beginning and during each consultation
on the subject Of borrowing money, he
took the position, ignoring the chsraC-
ter OF the bonds deposited in New York,
that il the money was borrowed, It ought
to be obtained without collatersl-sim-
ply on the faith and credit 81 the Stste,
and at the rate of six per cent, per an
mum. Yours truly,
