NASHVILLE ROAD.

We are glad to learn that the first thirty miles of
this road will be opened in time that much is Sc
cured at any rate The branch to Lebanon is also
certain to be constructed and now for the prospects
of the main branch being continued. IF the Board
were free to offer the contracts for grading to the
people along the road, in short sections, the work
would be gradually, perhaps, but certainly done.
An interest would be created 10 the road not now
felt. The contract with Morton, Seymour & Co.
s dead weight, that will crush the enterprise es
long as that contract remains 1t might have done
well enough if 1t had remained as first made, and
Morton, Seymour & Co. had been compelled to
take the securities the company had to give in pay
ment for the work; but as Il now stands, they are
only required to do the work the cash is paid at
prices fixed in better times. II the Directors have
the cash 10 pay. they can get the work done with
out Morton, Seymour & Co. These latter stand
between the Directors and their work, and must
prevent its progress, instead Of facilitating it. The
work caurol be given out to the people along the
road who would do it ct much cheaper rates than
Morton d Seymour must be paid, according 10 their
contract.
We assume that under this contract the road can
never be made. The means will not be provided
and cannot be. Neither individuals nor corpora
tons will subscribe dollar more when it will be
expended in higher rates than tho work would
have cost if otherwise managed. The frat thing
for the Directors to do they want the road made,
is to get rid of this unfortunate contract II they
can do so, the work can be done: if not it can't
Let Us sec the road disencumbered Of the dead
weight Of Morton, Seymour Il Co. and new life
will he infused into the enterprise. 1t is idle now
to talk of raising money on bonds in amounts sufi-
Gent to pay the cost in cash. This is not the way
roads are now built. The people along the route
must take the work in hand. THIS they have done
in the c&se OF the Lebanon branch, and the main
trunk would be carried along in the same way if
the people could get hold Of it Put aside the con-
tractors that now stand in the way. who demand
cash down or 10 WORK, and more cash. too, than
the work ought TO cost, and we shall begin 10 see
daylightn this great enterprise This city, no doubt
will lend her aid sill further, if the work were dis
embarrassed. We hope the Board Of Directors

most important point for the interest OF the work
that they could consider
