TIL. Richmond Terminal Deal.

Mr.. Nat Baxter. IT,, received u couple Of
telcgrnms late yesterday afternoon from his
friend Mr.. John II. lnmqn, In New York,
says the Nashville Amorican, which cou'
ycycd the surprising information that the
Richmond Terminal, Of which Mr., Imam
isprcsidcnt, had during the day consum.
mated the purchase Of the Georgia Central,
IT, main line and branches, and all Of It's
other valuable and important possessions.
As only the bare statement OF the pur-
chase has been made public thus far the
conditions could not be stated.
The transfer Of this vast property comes
almost without an intimaiion ~ even the
most prominent railroad mcn oi the coun.
try. and II will create great surprise In
Nashville and throughout the south. The
negotiations have been in progress indi-
rcctly about month, but took definite
shape only two weeks ago.

the finest coast steamship line in the
country, operating between Savannah and
New York, comprising ten magnificent
steamers that cost $3.50, 900 each.
IL is, in fact, the controlling system of
railroads in Georgia, and operates some
100 miles.
THE RICHMOND TERMINAL
has, until now, owned and operated the
East tennessee, Virginia & Georgia rail-
road, comprising about ], 200 miles, which,
with the Richmond 4 Danville system,
and the new possession, makes about 5000
miles OF railroad now under one control.
Mr.. lnman states in his kilograms to
Mr.. Baxter that the immediate effect Of
this purchase will be to bring the whole
southern situation into harmony, and
adds; The consolidation of the manage
ment OF these great southern railroad in
terests, which will be fairly and eQuitably
managed by southern financial leaders,
must result in great benefit to this Sec
tion."
1t will be particularly gratifying to bust
ness men at the south TO feel that this vast
interest is now compactly united under the
leadership OF southern man, and that he
was the foremost spirit in bringing the
consolidation about.
MR.. INMAN HAS INVESTED
well into millions OF money in southern in
terests; indeed, it is exclusively in the
south that he has placed the earnings of
his enormous wealth. strong attach
ment TO his native section, coupled with a
great amount OF pride and faith in her re-
sources, has guided him in each and every
one OF his large investments, until he now
controls larger and more varied interest
at the south, and is more deeply and
closely concerned in the development Of
her industries than any other one man in
the country. Mr.. Inman is at all times,
first and last, believer in the south, and
this master stroke is another indication
that this section will continue TO be upper
most in his thoughts.
An american reporter called on Mai. J.
W. Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga
x st. Louis railroad, at his residence last
night and acquainted him Of the purchase.
'The effect" said Mr.. Thomas, twill he
TO make rates more stable and prevent rate
wars and all such things us that. The fact
that 1t places so vast an interest in the
hands OF strong southern men is GER
tainly, OF itself, a matter OF pride and a
cause for congratulation.

An EmmIggasion Convention.
Times Democrat.

Times Democrat
Some months ago the Times Dem-
ocrat suggested that a convention be
held here of citizens of Northern birth
nov residents of Louisiana who could
hear testimony to the advantages this
State offers immigrants and satisfy
their former fellow citizens that they
would do well to settle here,
The idea Of such a convention was
not our own, Such meeting was
first called in North Carolina some
time ago aud proved great success.
1t was found that there were settled
in che old North State' former citi.
zeps of almost every State north of
"Lbe line,' They met, discussed its
advantages, and issued the strongest
immigration appeal we have ever seen
sent out. New Englanders, New
Workers, men from Ohio, Indiana, III
inois and all portions of the West
bore testimony to the Iact that they
bad improved their fortunes in Caro-,
lima, had ProsPered there beyond their
expectations, and expressed their be,
lief that any former fellow.citizen OF
theirs who moved South, if industri,
OPS, energetic and temperate, would
meet with the same success,
We suggested The calling Of a sim
liar convention in Louisiana. Col.
Geo. MoormaR has moved in the mat,
ter and selected the very middle Of
the summer for it, in order to emPha.
size the fact that here at least, on the
Gulf coast, The summer is cooler than
in the North or West.
The convention will meet at Crime,
wald Hall, Tuesday, Aug. 7, and will
consist wholly Of gentlemen formerly
residing in the North but now in
Louisiana, who viii give their views
Of this State and draw comparison
between il and their former homes.
The letters from them in response

this morning give some idea Of then
sentiments on this subject. Theil
