The Southern Pacific Railroad.

Chicago, June 2jth.-A Times New York special says: At Boston and San Francisco capitalists are inter- ested in the progress which is made with the Southern Pacific road now being pushed forward, and it is ex- pccted that wIlhin fifteen months con- nection will be made with the Mis- souri river Fort Scott and Gulf road. This is Boston enterprise almost ex- clusiveiy, and is regarded as having brilliant future. It is said on Wall street that if this connection is made, arran gements will he completed for an unhroken line from Chicago, in a south westerly direction, so that when the junction with the Southern Pacif- fic is effected, trains can run through direct from Chicago, to San Fran cisco. This enterprise will destroy the monoply of the existing Pacific roads and will be of great advantage to shippers by forcing low rates for freight and passage. The Managers of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain and Southern rof q are negotiating for consolidation with the Texas and Pacific line, and as this is being built by the Pennsylvania Railroad Man agers an Eastern extension may be made by another line from Chicago. It is hinted that Vanderbilt is ar ranging to secure control of the Pac- fife road at the next election, and that this is the explanation of the admission of Mills to the direction of the Lake Shore and of Wander bilt to the Chicago and North Wes- tern. Mills is large holder of Union Pacific stock, and with his CO., operation and that of the Boston holders majority in favor of Van derbilt could certainly be secured.

The rexas and Pacific Is aiIroad.

New York, June 2Sth.-A cores pendent in Marshall, Texas, describes the present coalition and prospects of the Texas and Pacific Railroad. Excepting 75 miles between Texarka- na and Marshall, the Texas Pacific is purely local road, yet the earnings have been sufficient to pay operating expenses, interest on first and second mortgage bonds and leave some sur- plus. The numper of miles operated, including its two cast and west lines, is 442. The prospect of its extension to the Pacific seems apout as remote as ever, In regard to the California extension the writer says: Their failure to get Congressional aid brings them face to face with the question involving the future ot their enterprise Either they must raise money speedily 10 push the main line westward across Texas and New Mex. ico, or make mp their minds to rest c lntent with their position as an i'm portant local road, hnildin= westward only as first as settlement of the coun- try will warrant, and trusting Hunt ington 65 O., to join the California line to theirs at such q point in west ern Texas as they may be able to reach.

 GOODS!

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. AS we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore it will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no matter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these: 1t is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more. Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.
