bill to enable the Nashville and Northwestern
Railroad to unite and consolidate with the
Mississippi Central Road. This is an I'M
portant connection between Tennessee ana
the Gulf ports Of the South, and q large
number of the people viii regret the failure
of the Legislation so necessary to its com
pietIon.
The same body also refused an aPpropria-

grounds The Senate had passed an appro-
priation Of $3.50. 600 for this purpose; and on
prior reading the House had reduced it tG
$4,000, and yesterday that was rejected.
The people of the State at large will regret
that the House saw proper to pursue this
course 1t is only question of time. and we
must think it is bad policy to postpone the
day of its completion, as well as very bad
economy.
