National Association of Ticket and Passen-
ger Agents.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The national
association of the general passenger and
ticket agents resumed its session yester-
day afternoon. The controversy which
had arisen between the Louisville, Nash
VILE 81 Great Southern and the Cincin-
natl Southern railroads, as to which road
had the right to make u rate from New
Orleans TO Cincinnati, was decided in ia
vor of the former, as that road had what
is known as the short line grant. The
railroads of Kansas and Nebraska ex-
pressed themselves as very much hurt in
their business in consequence of the false
reports which have been made in news
papers about the drouth, failure of crops,
&c, in the country through which these
roads run, and asked the association as
body to put on sale on the 9th of No
vember, for one day only, round trip
tickets from all eastern points to the
roads, to show the people that these re-
ports are exaggerated.
On motion this request was granted,
and the meeting adjourned till to-mor
row.
