an APPEAL TO THE LADTES OF
JACKSON.

And in ell the State of Mississippi
there was but one town where great
majority Of the ladies did not turn out
and work against the great evil of the
liquor traffic And that place-God
help us-is our Capital. Daily Ne.c

| appeal to the ladies of jackson to
reDel by their actions this charge. Sure
ly in this city there is a majority of
Christians among the women. Surely
that majority is in favor ofTemperance,
and opposed to the open saloon. Doubt
less they have thought that favoring
Temperance and in secret praying for it
was their whole duty; but the time has
come for action on the partofthe ladies.
Men are largely Influenced by their lady
friends. The present contest is between
the home and the saloon; on which side
will the ladies of jackson cast their in
fluence?
BY the love you bear father, husband,
son, brother, friend or lover, let me urge
you. ladies Of jackson to come out and
cast your Ipauence for God. and Home
and Native Land =

1t should be borne in mind that
whether the county goes wet or dry, we
are under the new law. It is not a
choice between the old law and the new
law, but whether we want to shut out
the sale of liquor entirely, or. whether
we want a saloon where every % real
estate holders can be found to sign pc
ition.

Mr. EDIToR-The whisky crowd
make great protestations of decency,
morality, good order and sobriety. Then
why is it they fail to carry with them to
their meetings their mothers, wives,
daughters and children? Why this con-
spicuous absence of the very element
that goes so far to make up-the respec.
liability of assemblages of this character.
Cant it be that they don't dare do it be-
cause of the respect they have for their
families? Let some of them answer.

MEXICAN REFORM,

The System OF the States Collecting Inn
port Duties on Goods In Transit Abol-
ished.
CITY OF MEXICO, Nov, 27.-An imp0r-
tant economic reform was formally pro-
claimed yesterday. A movement has been
going OH for some time for putting an end
to the system of taxation whereby the
States collected duties on national and for.
eign merchandise in transit through their
respective territories, system which has
been pronounced by railway managers more
harmful to the development of the internal
commerce of the country than any
other plan that could have been
devised. In May last a constitrl-
tional amendment was submitted to the
States fOrbidding the imposition of transit
duties, import duties on products of other
States and on the expectation of merchan-
disc, either manufactured articles or pro-
ducts of the soil. The amendment also forbids
the States to assign special routes for the
conveyance of goods of native origin, as has
heretofore been done: also to put higher
duty Oh foreign goods than will be fixed
by federal law. 1t is expected that Con.
gresS will fix q uniform tax of five Der
cent. ad valOrem. This amendment having
been adopted by the majority of the
States has received the sanction of
both chambers of Congress and was
proclaimed in the usual form, being read in
various points in the city and copies Of it
posted on walls. The ceremony took place
between nine o'clock and noon yesterday,
troops forming part of the official process.

AN unusual accident happened on
the Kansas Pacific railway, near Den
yer, the other day. AS the train was
approaching Deer Trail, a small sta
ton, the fireman noticed as he thought
a freight train just ahead of them. 1t
was foggy. and the truth was that the
supposed train in front was two cars
which were standing on the sidetrack.
The fireman excitedly directed the
attention of the engineer to the immi.
nent danger and then jumped from the
engine. The engineer, also misled,
reversed his engine, and he, too,
jumped for his life, as collision
seemed inevitable. The train was
stopped with suddenness that threw
the passengers from their seats, and on
the trainmen and others going out to
ascertain the cause they found the fire.
man unconscious and the engineer con-
siderably shaken up, but not injured.
The fireman was taken to Denver,
where he died of his injuries. His
name was j. B. Bonner, of Russell,
Kan.

DURING the first half of 1856 the rail-
roads of Austria-Hungary carried &c.
577,427 passengers, and 33, OO1, All tons
of freight, and earned $43, ,242, or
S3,ll1 per mile of road, more than
threosfourths of which was for carry
ing freight. Compared with last year
there was an increase of nearly per
cent. in the number of passengers, a
decrease of 81 per cent in the tons of
freight, a decrease of q per cent. in
the passenger earnings, of per cent
in the freight earnings, and of nearly
per cent. in the total earnings. The
mileage worked was II per cent. more
than last year. The railroads owned
and worked by the Governments earned
500 per cent. of the total earnings,
and the private railroads worked by
the State more than 10 per cent, so
that just about half the earnings were
by State roads, though it was but a
few years ago tina: the State had any
lines of importance.
