A Simple Suggestion.

kditOr OF the Herald:
Vicksburg bcwails the loss OF her
harbor, and many projects have been
suggested 10 OF least partially restore q
channel or retain what we now have,
The President and his Cabinet are en-
route South, and II occurs 10 me that
the best mode Of securing CongressiUn-
al aid in behalf of Vicksburg's river
front would DO for the municipal au.
thorities 10 Invite the President and
his cOmpanys de COydge 10 visit our
city, and then they could see the situa-
ton for themselves. In my humble
judgment It would advance our ma
terial interests much more than can be
done by petitions, the action upon
which is always tardy, or the labor OF
lobbyists. Let the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen take the initiative 10 this
matter, even at the hszlrd Of stretch
ing their authority, aud act at once.

The consolidation OF the New Or.
leans, Jackson and Great Northern and
Mississippi Central Railroads will take
place In about 60 days. After that
lime the road will be known as the
Chicago, ST.. Louis aud New Orleans
Railroad. The road will maintain q
separate organization, but will be
worked in close conjunction with the
Illinois Central. According TO Mr..
Clark the crop prospects in The South,
and especially along the line Of his
road, were never better than at pres
ent. The cotton crop is better than 1t
has been for fifteen years. The rice
crop will be about 5000 barrels over
the previous year, and the sugar crop
will be about 100000 hogsheads more
than last year. The tobacco crop is
also very large. The passenger bust
ness Of the New Orleans road has more
than trebled during the last six months.
Mr.. Clark Is making ample prepara-
lions to carry forward the large crop
along his line.
The West and South are decreasing
their national bank note circulation,
and the Eastern States are increasing
theirs.
The country at large Is making a big
stride towards old time prosperity by
this years excellent crop, but this will
not save rotten banks, shaky insurance
companies, and watered railroads.
EVERYTHING that Is not really and solid
ly sound will break, aud nobody will
be much sorry for 1t.
If the Changers OF the Western States
were in real earnest with their opposi-
ton TO high railroad rates, they have
now an opportunity Of proving their
sincerity By doing all In their power
to divert the grain Of the West TO the
Mississippi river.
