''HuntinEtOnian Philanthropy"
Under the above caption the New York
Indicator, OF Tuesday, prints the following:
THE syndicate OF California philanlhropis,s
that own the railroads OF the Pacific coast
and hold the merchants and traders OF Cali
fornia as bondsmen, are looking, as San
Francisco exchange puts il, for new worlds
TO conquer by the aid of the inevitable sub
sidy. AS representative OF the new scheme
the syndicate has found new G. p Hunt
ington, whose only value TO The Huntington
Is the sameness of name and the convenience
he will serve as a scspegoat for the shame
less effrontery of the California party. Tha
curious coincident of names is not more SIM
gular than that both parties are engaged in
au endeavor to accomplish the same thing
railroad on a subsidized track on the east
bank of the Mississippi river from Memphis
to New Orleans A Southern contemporary
explains the confused names and projects by
saying: The Levee railroad, to aid which
The Lynch bill proposes the government
shall give a guarantee, has for its head one
c. Z. Huntington, weslthy aud enterprisiug
Mississippisu, aud moi the e. P. Huntington
of Central Pacific railroad fame. The other
G. p. Huntington, however, appears upon the
scene in similar scheme 10 that projected
by his namesske. Some time ago the New
Orleans company started to buildla road along
the river, aud now have large number OF men
at work, it is announced, with the intention
of connecting New Orleans with Memphis.
Such road was just what the weil-known
C. P. Huntington wanted, as his Chesapeake
and Ohio system ended At Memphis, and his
Western roads terminated at New Orleans.
1t is announced by the New Orleans States
,tta that the firm that has started the road
alluded TO has m4de combiA alton with G.
I. Huntington the greater, TO run line up
the eastern bank of the Mississippi river in
precisely the way PROPOSED bye. z. Hunung-
ton the lesser, and they will come TO Con-
gress Tor favorable legislation. The party
nominally beaded by c. p. Harrington the
lesser have discovered the use they were be-
ing put to in drawing red-hot chestnuts for
G. p. the greater, and are disposed 20 rebel.
The project they were working they supposed
was in tle interest of themselves until they
learned that the real G. p. at the bottom of
the scheme was not the c. p. whom they
knew, but member of the renowned asso-
citation of California philanhropis,s of
whom Huntington, Sanford and Crock er are
the leading apostles"
