RELIEF OF THE POOR.
Quarterly Meeting Of the Society Yester-
day-The Secretary's Report.

day-The Sscretarys Report.
The managers of the Society for the Relief
of the Poor held their regular quarterly meet
ing yesterday afternoon. After the reports OF
the secretary, treasurer and superintendent of
the industrial school, the plans for the pro.
posed new building. which were prepared by
Mr.. Willard, we're fully discussed by the build
ing committee and others. The meeting
finally adjourned to assemble again at $3.50
Thursday afternoon.
sECRETARY's REPORT.
The experience of the society the past quar-
ter has been no exception to that of former
years, viz: That the demand upon its re-
sources are greater in the later part of the
winter and early spring than at any other
time. For it is at this season, if ever, that
the limited supplies of the poor become ex.
board is gradually Withdrawing its aid with
the view of forcing its benfciaries to avail
themselves of the first opportunity of en-
ployment, that too, often before 1t is to be
had. In addition to this the rapid in
crease in our population together with the
large number of these, who through sick
ness, Imposition and misfortune, often need
assistance of some kind as they are passing

season, showing not only the desirability but
the necessity OF having increased facilities for
properly carrying on our work. A subject to
which understand your attention will be
called at this meeting. 1t is also becoming
more and more desirable in order that the
various charitable organizations of the city
should do their work in the most economical
and effectual manner, that they should be-
come even better acquainted with the work
that each other are doing than they now are.
It may be thought the time is not yet come
when they can be united SO as to form board
of associated charities, as in many of the larger
eastern cities, yet there is no reason why they
should not be so far united as TO become NUT.
ually helpful and cooperative in their work.
And this is one OF the objects sought to be
accomplished by the erection of the proposed
new building which it is hoped will be freely
used by all the charitable organizations of the
city.

the commencement of the year 1877.

The following is an abstract of the
business transacted by the city council
last evening:
THE ST. PAUL WATER WORKS.
Is is we'll known INTERPRETATIONS have
for some time been pending for the pur-
chase, by the city, Of the St. Paul water
works. Last night the report of the
special committee to which the matter
was referred, reported in favor of making

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The Lands of the Choctaws and Chic X a
saws-The 81. LOuis and san
Francisco Railroad.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

To the Editors of the Appeal:
l noticed in your issue of the 10Th uItino,
an article copied from Washington paper
regarding protest made by the Chickasaws
to the Secretary of the Interior, against the
st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad. I am
surprised that the persons having in charge
this important interest should not have prop
erly inform d themselves OF the treaty rela-
tions existing betwe n the Chickasaws and
Choctaws before entering upon the discharge
of their duties. These two tribes hold tn, ir
domain in common, their interests are CO.
equal. The gentlemen selected by the road
to solicit the right OF way through their Ter
ritory, obtained the consent of the
Choctaw council and ignored the Chick asaS $,
consequently they issued their protest and
selected delegation to visit Washington
Ex-Chief Overton and Mr.. VIM. Bird. No
better selection could have been made; both
are competent to pei form ths duties in rusted
to them, and t eel confident they will do moth.
ing TO retard the building of the road, as no
nation of Indians are more in favor OF prog
ress than the Chickasaws; but they can't
afford to see their rights trampled upon, or
even neglected, and will insist, as they have
a right to, that their treaty stipulations be
observed. DOGGY.

THE SELMA RAILROAD.
IT Wolfe Does Not Build it the People
of tne Country Will.

To the Editors OF the Appeal:
PIcKENsvILLE, Ala, January 3.-In your
| issue OF December 2lst you make the Im pres
| sion that the early completion of the Mem
phis, Selma and Brunswick road is quite
| doubtful, and that there is possibility that
it may not be built at all. You also suggest
| the building of a road to Holly Springs. We
| are very anxious for connection with Mem
| phis by rail, and if the changers are not
| going to build their road we believe it can
be done by a series of short roads. Applica-
ton has already been filed in Montgomery
for charter for a road from Eutaw, riI Pick
ensville, to Columbus, Mississippi, and from
| there the Gordon road will be built to Aber-
deem, and it is probable that n company
could be found to build a road from Aber-
deem to Holly Springs. In this way the con-
nection could be made, and sooner or later
| these roads would be consolidated. The lins,
as now surveyed, runs through one OF the
finest countries in the world, where there are
thousands of acres of as good land as ever
crow flew over, unoccupied. Much of this
land is covered with valuable timber. Ca the
banks of the Bigbee, near this point, there
are now more than one hundred thousand
feet of black walnut lsmber, in logs which
are from ten to forty inches in diameter, and
said to be worth $50 or $50 per thousand,
delivered on the cars, but our nearest rail-
road is so far from here that it would be
worth the logs to haul them.
Whatever may be said about diversified
farming-and have no doubt but that it will
be carried to greater extent in the future
than it has been in the past-this is strictly
cotton country, and never will raise as much
corn and meat as it will consume. Tnese
things pass by or come through Memphis.
Suppose a large planter orders a thousand
bushels of corn through his merchant hare,
and the latter gives the order to a commits
sion merchant in Mobile who buys in ST.
Louis. The corn is shipped by boat RIA New
Orleans and Mobile, and is sixty days in
coming and when at last it does arrive it is
SO moldy and, perhaps, half rotten and not
fit for use, but the planter must use it, as ii
Is too late to order more, if he had the
means to do SO; and he feeds it to his mules,
and often loses a large percentage of them.
With meat it is still worse. 1t is not uncom-
mon for bacon to sell at from eight to ten
cents in the spring, and in the fall at from
fifteen to twenty. We cannot count on boats
more than half the year, and it would be
difficult to keep bacon through the summer,
even if our merchants had the capital to
invest in it.
Memphis would be our market if we had
road, not only for produce, but for many
other things. Then the APPEAL would reach
us in few hours, instead of being two or
three days; and instead of a few scattering
copies, one or two hundred would be taken,
for it is one OF the best papers that comes to
our Office.
A road from Memphis to Eutaw could be
easily and cheaply constructed, it would
run over a level country. h. NJ.
