rHR GRAIN TRADE RAILROAD.
On Thursday afternoon the Mayor, in company
with the City Surveyor, paid visit of inspection
to Water street, along the line OF the propose d
grain train railroad, aud satisfied himself that
there can be no objection TO the passage Of the
trains on that street, between the stables of the
Crescent City Railroad Company. The Mayor,
however, apprehends that there will be come
difficulty in passing the ordinance az IL now
reads, ina.mueh as the grant being made to
Meesrs. schreber and Highly, 10 would not bind
the New Orleans. Jackson and Northern Rail-
road TO the restrictions contained lii II, re latng
to the discrimination Of freight rates against
the city OF New Orleans and In favor Of other
points.
Since writing the above we have had an inter-
view with Mr.. schrieber. who informed us thst
the matter could be easily arranged, by provld.
ing that no established railroad shall use the grain
trade railroad that shall make such discrimins-
ton. Ia fact, he had had an interview with Mr.
Oavanac on the subject.
THE OLD POLICE.
A delegation from the old Metropolitan Police
force called at the City Hall Yesterday and
waited ON the Mayor and Administrator OF
Finance, 10 ascertain whether there was anr pos
eibility OF their obtaining the amount due them
for December last aud the first eight days Of Jan
uarv. They were informed that the Council
would, probably, at It's next meeting, provide
for the payment OF the January roll, for which
there is enough cash money in the treasury. As
to the December roll, OF course the collections OF
1876 have not supplied the necessary sum, and
the city cannot issue police warrants instead. the
Metropolitan Police being State affair.
The policemen therefore find themselves in an
embarrassing position regarding this December
pay,the Metropolitan Police law having been abro-
gsted, and with IL the officers who were authorized
to issue police warrants. The Metropolitans
must wait until cash affected TO police purposes
comes in in the shape of taxes for 1870 before they
can be paid.
Mayor Pilsbury has received letter from Mr..
Thomas Holt, OF Poe8hontas, Tenn, inuuiring
about his brother, John Holt, an Engishma,l,
about 45 years old and weighing in the neighpor.
heed Of 200 pounds. Mr.. Holt eays that his
brother was to have sailed from New Orleans on
the sixth OF January last for Liverpool on the
chip Borussis, but that he learns he did not and
he fears his brother IL dead. Any information
concerning him can be communicated to the
Mayor.
