waters of which Moore has sung

death of Mr.. Parnell,s father, in 1858.
the rents on the estate have been per-
manently reduced in most instances.
A still further reduction Of twenty per

NEW RAILWAYS.
Route to Holly Springs and lis
Prospect Of Completion.

The subscription list to complete
the proposed unfinished railway be-
tween this city and Holly Springs will
shortly be put out by committee of
gentlemen interested in the enterprise.
A meeting of the friends of the road
was held at the cotton exchange yes
terday afternoon to hear the results of
a conference between committee and
the representative owners of the
Selma, Marion and Memphis road.
The terms upon which the road to
Holly Springs can be built are promul-
gated by the report of the committee,
as follows: The present owners will
put in property and franchises from
Memphis TO the Alabama line for
$263,000 in capital stock of the COM
pany, the whole of which is to be
$l,000,000, aud to issue first mortgate
3O-year per cent bondsto the amount
of 100000, and they pledge them
selves, when $l50,000 worth Of bonds
are sold at par, they will expend the
amount in the economical construction
of the road, beginning at Memphis,
and extending the work toward Holly
Springs After the amount is ex-
hausted the yield of any extra bonds
disposed of will be used in the same
way until the road is completed and
in operation.
The conference regard this as a lib
eral proposal as no subscriptions are
asked. The public, capitalists and
friends able to invest are merely re-
quested to purchase the 6 per cent
bonds, which are to be secured by a
first mortgage on the road and all the
property of the company. This secu-
rity is considered ample. The charac-
ter and standing Of the present owners
of the road is such that no doubt is
entertained but that their part of the
contract will be faithfully performed
Those who may purchase the
bonds will have a representation In
the management, and be able to see
that the funds are properly applied
The committee believe that the mer-
chants aud property owners Of this
city should not let this opportunity to
complete the route to Holly Springs
pass. The committee are Messrs. D,
P. Hadden, John w. billiard, w. A
Gage, IL. Furstenheim, r. B. Snow
den, ID. NJ. Neely and NJ. i. Mea-
cham. A committee to solicit sub
scriptions are Messrs. f. S. Davis,
J. 4. Petit, W. T. Taylor, A. G
Treadwoll, j. W. Clapp, W. P. Proud
fit and John Oyerton. Both commit
tees are to continue on duty, and will
prepare a properly captioned docu'
n,ent, qua ranteeiug to bond purchas
ers that their money will be properly
expended and their rights secured.
