The MEMPHIS, LOUISVILLE AND CLARKs-
VILE RAILROAD. We are informed that
this road, which forms an important link
in the rail connection of Memphis with
Louisville has, through its President,
Col. G. W. Henry, of GAINESVILLE, filed a
petition in bankruptcy. Such step, it
would seem, has been contemplated by
the company for sometime, as the only
means of extricating the road from its
accommodating endorsements. Antici-
psting such thing several days ago, a
Nashville contemporary said: 1.-THE Lou
isville and Nashville Railroad Company,
eagerly watching an opportunity to
gather in the property of the virtually
defunct corporation, have been anxious
to purchase the road at bankrupt sale,
provided complete control of it could
be secured by this means. One of their
attorneys in this city, Francis B. Fogg,
Esq, has advised them that the fran
chise, or right to run the road, being In
the hands of the State, cannot be pur-
chased at bankrupt sale; so that should
they buy the road it could not be used as
a thoroughtare, the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad having no right to rgn it.
The matter will doubtless rest until the
next session of the Legislature, when a
bill will probably beintroduced providing
for the sale Of State railroads at auc-
tion
