VICKSBURG HARBOR.
A Mistaken Notion About the Measures
for It's Improvement.

VIoKsBURG, Miss August 19.-The i'm
preston seems to prevail here and abroad
that because The dredging COW being done at
what Is kCown as the west pass IS not en-
iirely successful il reflects on The geaei al
plsn recommended by the United States en-
ginesTs for the Improvement OF VIcks5uTg
harbor. This is not the case, and the work
at the west pass is simply supplemental, and
not part Of the original plan, which is 10
cut canal from Kleinston 10 the city front
leading along the main shore. There not
beirg money enough appropriated for this
plan 10 be completed this fall, the dredging
over at the west pass was suggested 10 ena-
be the boats 10 come around the island
TO the city landing during The approach
ing low-water season. Cap.. Marshall, en-
ginser ir ch arge, does not cay that this can
he accomplished, bu. he mesns TO do il if j,
is practicable. The removal of the sand at Il Q
west pass is very tedious, as it is just on the
edge of the current and it is shoaliBg there
very rapidly. Soundings with q stick were
taken there to-day by Capt. z. c. Carroll. Of
the Anchor Line, and Herald reporter.
They found in the wake or track OF the
drsdge pine to eleven feet, Immediately in
front Of the dredge Elk 10 nine feet, and on
the upper west side of the dredge there WAS
no steamboat water. On the east, or Vicks-
burg side, we're fourd seven feet, but it is
nsrrow, and boat mus. get right into it or
she will fcd several feet less. The fall Of
the river for the twenty -four hours ending at
s o'clock am. to-day was Elk inches, and the
decline will increase lily, as there is no wa
ter comirg TO cneck it. Prsclicsl men think
the credge can make DO headway over the
shoaling from natural cAu.ss, and the sound
ings taken 10 day seem to indicate such to be
the case. The want of success, however, at
the west pa or inlet should not BE- charged
sgairs. the original plan of improving the
Labor, as it Is not a part of it, as already
stated. The dredge does not work on Sund ays,
and the ofic rs in charge were not aboard, so
it was not learned what they thought of the
work at the present time. The harbor COM
miltee will have a consultation with the con-
structien committee of the Mississippi River
Commission, who are expected TO arrive here

RAILROAD TAXES.
Comptroller Piekard to Proceed at
Once TO Assess for Taxation the DIFF.
ferent Railroad Properties
Not Passed Upon Prior to 1S75-The
Amount Involved Over a Mil
lion Dollars.

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, August 21.-Oa tomorrow
Comptroller Pickard will proceed 10 assess
the different railroad properties in Teunssss G
that were not assessed for taxation prior to
1875. The notice served By the Comptroller
lows: That by an act passed BY the l. gisla-
ture OF 1879, amended by an act of 1883, all
collectors of taxes are made assessors for the
purpose OF assessing all properly which by
mistake of Law or fact was not asset sed for
taxes for the present or previous years, and
that they would proceed 10 assess them for
the years prior to 1875. The Comptroller ia
by law the collector of
TAXES on RAILROADS.
He insists that the following railroads
were liable to taxes for the year. previous to
1876: The Nashville and Decatur, Mem
phis branch Of the Louisville and N sshville,
main stem of the Louisville and Nashville
from n ashville 10 the Kentucky line and the
road now forming portion Of this sy stem ol
roads, formerly known as the Elg6eld and
Kentucky; alec the McMinnville and Man.
chester, Winchester and Alabama. Tennsssee
and Pacific and the Jasper branch, these
latter roads forming part Of tine Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. The
Comptroller insists that the charters OF some
of these roads do not
EXEMPT THEM FROM TAXATION,
and tha. others that were exemp! under their
charters, by their purchase by the Louisville
and Nashville and-ths- Nashville, Chat
tapooga and st. Louis railroads, the ex-
emption did not follow the saIe, and alter
their sale and purchase By these latter roads
the exemption ceased TO exist. The amount
involved, at the lowest possible estim ate, il
over 81 100000. Most of the stock in these
roads is owned in New York. The decision
OF the Comptroller has created widespread
discussion in railroad circles.
