There Is no other city in the country where
such nuisance wound have been tolerated
week.-There was a meeting yesterday
afternoon of citizens to consid r the propri-
ETY. of passing the KIRBY Bill,
now pending in the Legisla-
ture. which authorizes or is intended to
authorize, the issue of half million in
bonds, and the leasing OF property for
terminal facilities. the rental of which
shall not exceed $4,000 per annum.
Among those present were the trustees
and several of the managers of the c M
mon Carrier Co. There was very full
and free interchange of views and the final
conclusion was that the interests of the
city required the passage of the bill. 1t
should be understood that LEGAL freight
and passenger business is to he transacted
at the P!um-street Depot; but outside Of
this grounds are needed for standing room
for cars the transfer of througn freight,
and shops. For these purposes it was
shown that twenty or thirty acres Of ground
will be required.

and the right to lease grounds for depots,
shops, &c. Almost any enploye would
prefer fine Office, with gorgeous furniture
and costly furnishings, provided the enl-
ployer pays for it. But employers do not,
as a rule, leave these little matters en-
tirelv to their employees. They usually
learn, first, whether their business will
warrant it. Ii they are begin
ming new business with which
they are not familiar they are more likely
to rent plain serviceab.e office, and await
the result of the experiment. This the
Trustees OF the Southern Road can now do
in regard to terminal facilities. They can
even do better. The Cincinn ii. Hamilton
& DAYTON, the Marietta & Cincinnati, and
the Indianap lis, Cincinnati & Lafayette
Roads have all offered the use OF their
depots and tracks, and the other roads of
the city would doub less follow. There
are already repair shops in Ludlow suffi
cent for the de lands of the road for two
nearly million dollars on hand, portion
of which they will probably be able to use
on this end OF the road. The people
of Cincinnati should not be asked
for more money for the Southern
Road. 1t sjust little surprising that the
Company operating the road is not too wise
to allow itself to be made the cat's.Iaw
with which to reach for the ches;nuts

been a want long felt for some United
States coaing stations on the Isthmus. The
Secretar, of the Navy, with the approval
of the President has decided to purchase
two naval coal stations, in order to meet
this longfelt want These are the destina-
lions, doubtless, of the steamers Kearsage
and Adams. And while attending tO their
coal stations. the United States Govern
ment may incidentally indicate its inten-
ton maintain the Monroe doctrine on
these continents.

certificate that they have complied with
the terms of their contract-and they have
been held to the specifications with sever

Chattanooga will cost something less than
$10O. 900; also that something more than
that sum, perhaps as much as $250. 900 Will
remain of the $2.000OU0 when the con-
tractors are paid of. Very well, en-, let
