Cincinnati Enquirer: "The carrying of
east bound cotton from Memphis and
other Southern points forms no small
proportion Of the business OF u
south-bound steamboat lines. 1t seems
that some Of the railroads from here
East have not been playing fair with
the steamboats,, and the Memphis and
Cincinnati Packet Company yesterday
brought suit in the United States Count
against the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
and indianapolis Railroad
Company, to perpetually restrain them
rom collecting charges in excess OF
what other common-carrier companies
ire charged. 1t is claimed that while
.he above road only charges the Louis
vile and Nashville and Ohio and Mis-
railroads 90 LILO cents per 100
pounds to New York, and 26 S-I0cents
per 100 pounds to Boston, they charge
he Memphis and Cincinnati Packet
Company 20 cents to New York aud
70 cents to Boston and other points.
The result OF the suit will be watched
With a great deal OF interest, as it has
)een a long while since a steamboat
company had the nerve to tackle a
abroad company in a court of JUS
ice"
