has had before it for adjustment at
this meeting, several new matters have
come up, which will have to lie over
for a month. Among these is a pro-
test from the Natchez Chamber of
Commerce against the rates on cot
ton charged by the Mississippi Central
railroad, which it is claimed are very
much to the disadvantage of that city.
Several comparisons are made to show
the difference between their rates and
those of the YaZoo & Mississippi Val
ley, distance being given. For in
stance, it is claimed that rate of the Y.
& M. v. from Roxie, distance of As
miles, is 80 cents per bale, while that
of the Mississippi Central from the
same point, but a distance of only "a
miles, is $1.15 per bale.
A complaint from the Mississippi
Travellers in regard to the depot sit
uation at Greenwood, and asking for
transfer facilities between the South
ern and the Yazoo & Mississippi VAL
ley, is Offset by a request from Secre-
tary Sterling. of the Greenwood Bust
ness League, asking that the matter
be deferred for the present. 1t is
claimed that there is opposition to any
move in this direction on account of
the fear of citizens that it NAV result
in the ultimate construction of union
depot at the junction of the two roads
and do away with the present South
ern depot, which is located on the
principal business street, and more
convenient for the public than if locat
ed at the crossing.

New York September 25.-In the
East Side and other sections of the
city where Hebrews are congregated
in large numbers, there is an air of
subdued excitement in anticipation of
the ushering in of Rosh Hoshanah, or
the first day of the Jewish New Year
1868. When the sun sinks behind the
horizon this evening, the two million
Jews in the United States will begin
their New Year celebration. The
more pious of the race will turn their
faces toward the synagogues, while
the backsliders and those who have
become Indifferent to the faith of their
fathers will begin a period of merri-

The rule requiring cases to be filed
twenty days before the calling of the

in all probability, at the opening of

be filed right up to the opening date.
Clerk George c. Myers and Deputy
w. J. Brown have been pretty busy
for the past several days preparing
the records and docketing cases. The
criminal records have not been coming
in so fast as was expected but as the
