Railroad Magnates Litigating.

L u.
In 1868 Henry S. McComb, then Presiden
of the Southern Railroad Association OF
mississippi, took a lease of the Mississippi
Central Railroad Company whereby he be-
came possessed of assets of the company con-
sisting of first and second mortgage bonds
bills, notes, rolling stock and other property
in consideration of which he was to pay
the interest on the first and second mort
gage bonds outstanding and discharge the
Indebtedness of the company to the State of
Tennessee. Under his management of the
road a consolidated mortgage was given, the
Southern Railroad Association joining there
in. This mortgage was fOreclosed in 1872,
when the road was bought by committee
of stockholders, who subsequently formed
the Chicago, St. Louis & New Orleans Rail-
road Company. In organizing this compa-
ny it was alleged that certain matters were
discovered which called for explanation from
Mr.. McComb, especially as he had given
guarantee that all the terms of the lease
whereby he obtained possession of the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad should be complied
with. The new corporation brought an
action against Mr.. McComb in the United
States Circuit Court in this district for about
$500, 900 of second mortgage bonds, which
he was charged with having obtained the
return of from the firm of Kelly & Alexan-
der, after having deposited them with that
firm in 1868 as security for the performance
of the conditions of the lease; and it was
also sought to obtain from him an ac-
counting in regard to 100000 of first
mortgage bonds which it was alleged,
he had unlawfully issued. To the bill of
complaint Mr. McComb put in thirty-two
demurrers, which were all overruled by
Judge Choate, who decided that interrogato-
ries in the bill touching his acts should be
answered by him. Mr.. McComb then put
in answers to some of which exceptions were
taken by the plaintiff on the ground that
they were not specific Yesterday Judge
Choate gave a decision sustaining the excep-
tions and requiring Mr.. McComb to answer
fully all questions in relation to the admin
istrat of the affairs of the property of
VIII ich he had had control

amount to nearly s., 100000; and the dis
bursements nearly two hundred thousand

the reduction in in the assessed valua-

have been made since the surrender"
This must indeed be gratifying news to the

duced.

Some of our citizens who went to New
Orleans to witness the acting of Bernhard
had to contend with numerous obstacles il
the execution of their wishes. The rains
had washed up the Railroad track below
McComb City, which necessitated stop OF
near an entire day in that place. They
finally got through, and are unanimously
of the opinion that the end was worth all
the trouble.
Rev DR. Jas K Gutheim, the distin-
guished Jewish Rabbi, of New Orleans, will

we are lead to believe, will be a more accu-

farms, he says, is ten cents day and nine
negroes out of ten are waiting to get that.
In the coal or lead mines they can earn $3.50
per::day, but are so much used like brutes and
subject to so many dangers they won't go into
thepits. There are thousands of colored pso-
pie there, all anxious to get the ten cents per
day. They are living on wind, almost, and
would make any sacrifice to get back home.
They call going into the mines going to
