RAILROAD RACKET.

New YORK, Dec. 9.-The Times
Of to-day says an inquiry at tie
Offices in this city of the companies
interested confirms the report pub
lished yesterday that the papers
have been signed for the union of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe and St. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad companies, and for the
construction of the John Lyn, from
Albuquerque, On the Rio Grande, in
New Mexico, to the Pacific coast.
The statement, however, that the
Chicago and Alton Company is in
the scheme is pronounced incorrect
by the Times. Of agreement the
ST. Louis and San Francisco
Company surrendered to the
Atichison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Company one>half interest in their
franchise, as owners of the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad Company,
which they succeeded, and the two
companies pledge themselves jointly
to raise $2,O0O,0O0 for the building
of the extension about 10000 miles
long, to some point on the Pacific
coast, not yet designated. The
officers intimate that they know
where they can obtain the money
needed, and that the work of builds
ing the extension will be begun at
the earliest possible moment that
the weather will permit next year.
These are all the details that can be
obtained for the present.

publishes the following extract from

cit is not hostility to the South
that makes the North solid. It is
apprehension lest an unHise and
ridiculous administration of finances
should injure NortheA a property and
investments. No instrument is so
dangerous as legal tender paper
currency, the redeemability of which
may be endangered. 4 don't care

Madame Rentz's Ministries gave a
novel and attractive entel tainment at
the Opera House last evening to foil
house. The ballads in the minstrel
scene were all sweetly rendered and
well deserved the encoreS they re-
ceived. The Misses Lee and Morti-
more have very excellent voices, while
the jokes and comicalities of Benedict
and Wilson as end men kept the au.
dience in a continual roar. Hattie
Forrest and Nellie Richards are pleas
ing and attractive vocalists, while the
trapez3 performance of Mile. Leoine
was graceful and daring. Fanny
Florence did an excellent song and
dance. The burlesque of Pinafore''

brilliant. The ladies are very attract
i've, and the performance can not fail
to give satisfaction wherever they ap-

AT a meeting Of the Governors of
the Old Thirteen States, in Phila-

commend to the people of the United

tennial anniversary of the surrender
of CORVALLIS, at Yorktown, which
occurs October 19, 1881. as shall befit
the historical significance of that event,
and the present greatness Of the
Nation. And, that a committee
of one from each State, to be nonin-
ated by the Governors, of which Gov.
Holiday, of Virginia, shall be chair
man, be appointed to make proper ar
rangements for such celebration.
Acting under these instructions, or
request, Governor Marks has desig-
mated and commissioned Col. Moses
White, of our city, to represent the
State of Tennessee on said committee.
We are glad to know that Knoxville,
through one Of her distinguished citi-
zens, has been honored with the dis
tintcior. Col White is just in receipt
of his commission, and will take
pleasure in complying with the re-
quest.
