All Objections Removed.
In yesterdays HERALD acorrespond,
ent, over the signature Of "P. Kullar,'
raises three objections 10 the voting oil
stock to the Memphis and Vicksburg
Railroad, that we shall proceed patient,
~ to answer, although we think al.
these objections b ave been plainly and
fully met by Messrs John Willis ana
L. A. Campbell. Tue affections are a
follows:
The first objection raised Is, that the
Ordinance Of the Board Of Mayor and Al
dermen enabling the citizens to vote "tOI
or against subscription" did not embody
aprovlso to the eject that every one OIL
the bonds to be Issued should each and
every one Of them contain q clause that Il
shall be valueless unless every one OIL
the conditions on which the issuance Ia
based shall have been complied with.
h second objection Is that when the
road shall have been completed to Rolling
Fork there Is no guarantee that the cotton
shipped from Deer Greek will not be tran,
shipped at the YazOO crossing, by boat, Ia
New Orleans, Memphis or st. Louis, thus
leaving Vlcksburg only the few miles oil
the road lying on the south side Of the Va
200 river to operate and control.
b third objection urged by the oppo'
nents OF subscription Is addressed 10 the
sympathies OF many Of the laboring class
II Is this: The road, even though its de-,
pot be located north Of Clay street, by
means OF the street railroad "a
which q charter was granted by the last
Legislature Of the State, will be enabled
to empty Its freight and passengers at the
Elevator. and thus throw q great many
draymen and hackmen, and others who
earn a live ihoOd by means OF the transit
business, out OF employment.
The first objection is hardly worthy
Of notice from the fact that the bond;
are not to be delivered until all the
conditions shall have been compiled
with. 1t would be a piece Of useless
foolishHess to embody In the bonds thai
they were to be valueless unless Ger,
tain conditions were complied with
when there is no way for the Comps,
ny to get the bonds until al! the coudi,
tons shall have been complied with
III Kuliar's friends imagine that the
Trustees appointed BY the city viii
steal the bonds or c%orruptly misuse
them, we beg to inform them that thu
Board Of Mayor aud Adermen will
doubtless appoint men Of such stand.
ing and honesty a. Trustees that tht
most suspicious will be satisfied tina
the bonds will not be stolen or m'sap
prO0riated. But 10 make ASSURANCE
doubly sure, the BoArd VI Mayor ant
Aldermen can have the bouds so drawn
that II viii be Impossible tor shy ont
but the MrmPa.- Al! Vck.bIrg Rail
road Company - neg }tiate them
In suswef to toe seccaG objection
we will sac that Ae-sr-. Willis aaC
Campbell have pledged taA the ro4C
would be operated lie entire ength. II
addition 10 this they showed that ihe
road would be entirely wo lhIe1s if il
was compelled TO reship at the Yazoo
Insurance would have to be paid oil
the freight both ways, aud the expens,
of the reshipment would cost the roaC
far more than TO transport freight aut
passengers the entire length OF the road
The third objection demands bat
word, for 1t exists simply in the pecu
liar Imagination Of P. Kuliar's friends
The road has no intention Of connect
ing with any street rail wsy. The com
pauy will have no connection With an,
street railroad enterprise, from the fac
that It will be only the business of tn
company TO transport freight and pas
seugers TO and from the city. It pro
poses to receive these al to delive
these at its depot, and Il will not as
sumo any further liability in regard t
them. P. Kuliar Is mistaken about
charter being granted for this purpose
There was q conditional charter grant
ed. The condition was that any stree
railroad that should be built woul
have 10 be constructed by the couSen
of the Board of Mayor aud Aldermen
This being the case, If street railway
are built eli over the city to the grea
injury Of anybody, the fault will II
with the Board Of Mayor and Alder
men, aud not with the Memphis an
Vicksburg Railroad Company.
