CENTRAL RAILROAD.

CENTRAL RAILROAD.
The Board of Directors of the Central railroad
met in Ra leigh the 10Th and sat four days.
All present but one.
The Register of the 18th publishes the report
of the Eng ineer, Major Gwinn, by which it ap-
pears that 223 miles have been surveyed and
located in less than months, at cost of little
less than $25, 900.
The Register says:
The Directors have located the Road
from one end to the other, sta rting from or
near Goldsboro,' on the Southern Route
by Raleigh, by Hillsboro, Graham. Green's
bor", Jamestown. Lexington, Salisbury.
Concord. to Charlotte. They have or
dered the President and Chief Engineer
to put the whole Road under contract be-
fore the 9th Of July. A reasonable time
allowed 10 commence the work.
From reading the report. learn that
the Eng ineer says the 6 grades will nowhere be
over SO feet per mile, or about foot in 900.
He estimates the whole cost ofthe road COM
plete. (223 miles long) at So, 165, 332. To
which may be added shops and fixtures 500, 900;
locomotives, cars, Sc, $139 500; making
SO ,405, 1872.
This makes the road cost, altogether, about
1929. per mile.
This is about $4,000 less per mile than the
Engineer estimated railroad to cost from
Raleigh to Camden by way Of Fayetteville, and
over what one would suppose much more IA
vorable route.

The Telegraph between Richmond and
Washington is great humbug. 1t is $"
continually out of order that it 'nay be
considered entirely out Of order for it to
be in any other condition. Are there not
some men OF enterprise and energy enough
in the Telegraph business to give US
line that may be relied on? There is no
reliance whatever upon the line we have.

A LEGAL DEc1sIoN.-A law in Ken
lucky imposes tax ON all insurance com
panies of other States having agencies IN
that State. and!exempts all such companies
as are incorporated under the authority Of
kentucky. The agent Of the Columbus s
(Ohio) Insurance Company, having at
office at Lexington. rega' ding such law
unconstitutional. refused to pay the tax.
The case went TO court. and Judge Buck
ner decided against the law, it Being in
conflict with that provision Of the federal
constitution which declares that 1.-the citi-
zens Of each State shall be entitled to all
privileges and immuuities Of citizens IN the
several States" The case will probably
go to the Court Of Appeals OF Kentucky;
and perhaps to the Supreme Court ot the
United States, for revision and settlement.
