have heard numerous complaints
that the Sub" on the Alexandria

passengers in his skid after the
steam ferry-boat ties up for the rest
of the day, although it is frequently
an hour before dark, and also the

before the said steam craft gets to
running, which sometimes does not
take place until 8 and 9 o'clock, on

the GRIND ECoRE TRADE.
GRANT PARISH, J
July Z, 1875

Mr.. EDIToR-
We see published, an open letter
addressed to myself from Capt. Ak.
en-, President of the Red River Trans
portation Company. This letter is
in the right spirit, and, as we under
stand it, if We meet it with the same
purposes to modify the charges on
articles, so as to make them more
uniform and satisfactory to all con,
cerned. As this Company is made
up principally Of men we'll known
to this community, it will certainly
be more satisfactory and better in
the end for both sides, II they sbould
have the business Of the.river at fair
paying rates, in preference to bring
ing in more boats, particularly az
there are more boats now engaged in
the trade than there 10 business for.
There has been great sbrinkage in
values Of everything since 1879, and
the steamboat owners are no longer
restricted as to the dimensions or
size of their boats, by the antigua.
ted ideas Of the New Orleans Insu-
rance Inspector, Mr.. Cooper, which
have worked the financial ruin of
many Of our steamboat owners
This is in their favor for the future.
We, Of the river banks and vicinity,
can see q valid reason why boat
making weekly trips from New Or
leans to Grand Ecore should charge
just as much for freight landed at
Barbin's as at Grand Ecore, as she
has to make the entire trip, but we
can see no reasons why some of us
should be charged the rates TO JEFF
ferson, BY a boat that never goes
half way to that point, and therefore
look upon this as q grinding injus-
tice. This Company is we'll sup.
piled with low water boats, which,
Of itself, is of much importance to
US. We would also say to all inter
ested, If you make a satisfactory rate
for our weekly packet trade. See to.

THE MEETING IN NATCHIToCHEs.

E0E ME- tNO IN kVCuES
A meeting of the Merchants As
sociation Of Natchitoches, has beer
held in connection With cheap trans
portation, and the result Of this
meeting We publish below. These
proceedings were sent to the house
of Baer Mann, Of this Town, and
to their chief clerk and business
manager, Julius NJ. Nasits, in the ab.
sence of A. Heyman, we are indebted
for a copy:
Resolred, That while we are well
pleased with the officers OF the Red
River Transportation Co., while we
appreciate their honorable and bust
ness-like dealings, and their kind
treatment Of passengers; while we
would deplore aud regret to have to
part with Capt. Richard Sinnott and
the gentIemanly officers Of the Grand
Ecore trade, with whom, for many
years the most pleasant and friendly
relations have existed, we find it,
however, necessary to bring about a
change in the rate of up and down
freights and price Of passage. s
Resolved, That on account of the
heavy rates on freights made and ex-
acted from us by the Red River
Transportation Company, our trade
has materially suffered and we have
gradually lost many good business
points, that are naturally and geo.
graphically tributary to this place,
but, who have sought another mar
ket, (notably Shreveport, which city
proportionately receives cheaper
freights than we do.
Resolued, That self-preservation is
the first law Of nature, that in order
that we may regain some of the trade
We have lost, and not TO lose any
more, we have to demand a reduc-
ton in price, and think the Red
River Transportation Company could
deliver freights and be well remune
rated at reduction of about one.
third on the present Freight Tariff,
and ask that the tariff be reduced
accordingly.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary be
instructed to send copy Of these
proceedings to Capt. Jos. A. Aiken,
President Of the Red River Trans.
portation Company, and to write to
him and ask him il he will hereafter
deliver our freight at the above rates,
aud in case Of acceptance, to inform
him that we would pledge our honor
to ship everything by his line no
matter how low other boats would
take freight.
Resolved, That, II after thus Civ
ing the preference to the Red River
Transportation Company and our
friends, Capt. Aiken should refuse to
accept our terms, that a copy of
these proceedings he published in
several newspapers here, in New Or
leans. in St. Lonis and Cincinnati.
