DENIED IN NEW ORLEANS.
Gould Interests Not Assisting the
Lone Star Line,
so SAYS GENERAL AGENT MILLER.
In the Face Of That the General Ne.
lief II That . Combination
Has Been Made.

New Orleans, August 20.--A reporter
called upon Mr.. Miller, general agent OF
the Texas and Pacific Missouri Pacific
lines. and asked him relative to the report
that the Gould lines had consolidated In
terests with the ocean steamships, and
that rates would be slashed into New Or
leans.
"You may state" said Mr.. Miller. "that
there is nothing whatever in this report.
We have advice from New York to the
effect that no such step has been taken
by the Texas and Pacific lines"
But. despite this statement, II Is tho
general belief Of railroad people that such
has been done. aud that In few days
there will be general Generalization OF
rates. The Lone Star line have been
knocked entirely out by the Southern Pa
clfc's low rates into Houston. They charge
the Mallory people with having called In
tho services of the Southern Pacific railroad
TO help in the fight. and as 1t was agreed
that all railroads would be hands off, they
1.-THE Lone Star people, were rather nom
plussed by the action OF the Southern Pa
ciflc.
The Southern Pacifc's slashing rates
were not met, but in the meantime the
Lone Star people were not idle. They pre-
scented to the Gould people the facts in the
case-how that this was an an opportunity
which would never again be presented for
fighting It out with the Southern Pacific
and railroad people say the Texas and Pa
cific people have determined to enter the
battle.
The policy Of this combine Of the Lone
Star line and the Texas and Pacific with
reference to New Orleans is precisely that
adopted by the Southern Pacific and the
Mallory line with reference to Houston.
The Lone Star people, acting in co-opera-
ton with the Texas and Pacific and the
Gould lines, will place a rate OF 2 cents
from New York into New Orleans, via Gal
ton with the Morgan line. have placed that
rate in from New York to Houston, via
New Orleans.
Thus It will be seen that II the Lone
Star people adopt this plan, as every sign
indicates, there will be a merry war. 1t
will mean, so railroad people say. doing
away with all rates aud blind battle to
the bitter end.
In this kind OF a battle New Orleans will
be the winner. A prominent Pacific official
stated yesterday that he was almost as
sured that within week the Lone Star
line would be running a steamer into this
city direct. He said that the Goulds were
behind the Lone Star line now., and would
stay there until the bitter end was reached.

North and South.

The Chicago Post has a new
proposition to advance as n means
of still further cementing the
friendly feelings between the
north and the south. IL would
have the Confederate veterans in
the north, and the Union veterans
in the south, and says of the pro-
position that the e., A. IL. should
hold its next encampmcnt IN Rich
mond:
"That many If rot most Of the veterans
hope to meet next year In Richmond IL
doubtless true. There is growing senti-
ment among the Northern soldiers that
good rasults would flow from tile Grand
Army's meeting at Richmond, Atlanta,
New Orleans, Nashville and Charleston.
Many are expecting such meetings and
they are toping that Gep Gordon and his
United Confederate Veterans will
hold national meetings IN Boston,
Chicago, New York Milwaukee, st. Paul,
Cincinnati and other Northern cities. OF
one thing the public may be assured: If
the Confcderates do come North 10 hold
their national gatherings no class of cit
izcns will give them more cordial greeting
than the Union soldiers, and that II the lat-
tor 20 South for their eucumpments no
class Will treat them better than the
Confederate soldiera. The sooner such
an interchange Of visits begias the better
for the country"
The Times-Democrat, intro
ducing the foregoing, continues
in This truthful vein: "This
is a very radical proposition, and
yet the time for trying it has ar
rived. We have already more
than once noted the good infiu-
ence exerted by northerners visit
ing the south, for they have all
ways gone home with their sec
tional prejudices completely re-
moved. With free intercourse
between north and south, it will
not take long for us to lose all
there is left in. this country of sec
tionalism."

REAFFIRMED.

! lhuef tue above caption The
able Canton Times prints the edi
torial following this paragraph.
1t now becomes the imperative
duty of the legislature, when il
meets next January to cause q
most through investigation to be
made. Regarding the subject
found iu the appended much has
been hinted from several sonrces,
and surely there must be some
fire where so much smoke. The
press has challenged the legisla--
ture, an Investigation is now COM
pulsory, at least in the name of
common Justice.
"Some months ago the Times
stated in an editorial its belief
that the last regular session of
the legislature was debauchcd
Our esteemed contemporary the
jackson News, in commenting up
on our uttoranccs, stated that it
had heard such mutterIng in the
air but that it did not believe a
paper of the standing of the
Times would make such a stat G.
ment unless able to sustain the al.
legation and called upon US to
trot out the facts, or words the
substance Of which is embraced
above. Whilst our believe and
expression was not an open
charge, we now not only reallirm
the belief but make the open
charge from evidence in our pos
session, and challenge the investl-
CATION in committee Of whole, in
open session, and defy it to meet
the issue. We will indicate the
line of investigation and produce
testimony in such n way and only
~ such--we will furnish none for
t,ecret conclaves nor special com
mittees where whitewash is al
ways convenient and available
commodity. If nothing is "rot-
ten in the state Of Denmark" an
investigation, such as indicated,
will benefit some men, and il there
is it will benefit the people Of the
state. 1t must come or the legis-
lature stand confessed by default,
of its guilt, in public estimation.
The next session bids fair to prove
one Of as deep interest as any in
our history for several reasons"

Correspondence soa Coast Echo.
1out correspondent paid q
visit yesterday to the site selected
! for the Encampment, aud spent
most of the day looking at the
arrangements which are being
made for the work and the
play Of military and civilian
during the ten days commencing
August l9. Tho finishing touch
es are now being added to the i'm
mense pavilion, us by $50 feet,
the largest dancing floor ever
built in this part Of the country,
which will be brilliantly lighted
by n special electric plant fitted
up for tho occasion.
Thesbroad level parade ground,
in a natural u a h theatre, sur
rounded by undulating hills crest
ed with spreading oaks and mag
nolias, afford the greatest facilities
for military evolution and cool re-
treats from which the people can
witness them.

hearing the famous Volunteer
SoQthrons band on "Wednesday
night. This gallant band which
followed Col. jefferson Davis
through Mexico, has in no wise
deteriorated. Its renditions eli

plause from more than two thou

attractions the management has

works, tho magnificent displays
of which will add materially to the
enjoyment with the soldier boys
and their fair camp followers.
Mr.. ID Lum, who is in charge
OF the eDcampment, has been most
courteous to your correspondent,
and through him the writer has
been shown how such large gath
erings as this are conducted.
In the first place, the Bureau Of
Accommodation, under the personal
direction of Mr.. Lum, has com
rlete list Of all houses in the city
where rooms can be obtained for
visitors, and upon application to
h m either by mail or personally,
visitors are assigned comfortable
quarters at very modrente rates.
In this way all are provided for,
and without extortionate charge.
1t is much to be regretted that
our Legislature, forgetting that
eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, have so far failed to ap-
propriate the funds for holding
these annual encampments, that
1t is feared this will he the last
one ever held in Mississippi.
Heretofore the railroad compa-
nies throughout the state have
furnished the militia with free
transportation, but they now state
most positively that this will not
be done again. If they adhere to
their determination this will be
the last assenhIage of the Missis-
sippi National Guard, unless our
Solons make appropriation to pay
for their carriage. -"
