THE Louisville City Council, on
Friday night, decided 70 grant right
of way through Louisville to the
Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington
Railroad, on condition that the Com
pany should change the gauge of its
track from FIVE feet to four feet eight
inches, the city to pay three-fourths
of the cost of said change. This is
to make sure of the breaking of bulk
in Louisville.
The same city, also, on Thursday
night, passed an ordinance subscribing
S50O,000 to the New Albany and St.
Louis Railroad Company. The ordi-
nance viii be submitted to the voters
of the city, for their approval or re-
lection, on the 10Th inst. By these
acts it is evident that Louisville has
made up her mind to stake all she has
on increasing her railroad facilities.
The taxation TO pay the interest on all
these bonds will necessarily be very
oppressive. Our people will learn
from this that they, too, must make
extraordinary efforts to retain and
increase their communications with
their customers or they are doomed to
lose the commerce they now enjoy

The rebellious movements of the

effect of suspending the constitu-

of the Government with extended
powers necessary for the suppression
of the iusurrection.
1t is probable that if the bill de-
manded by the Government is passed,
that the Republican delegates will
leave the Cortes. It is asserted that

THE Radical and Conservative Re-
publicans in Mississippi have placed
their tickets for State officers in the
field, and the canvass will be con-
Quoted until the election in November
with great zeal. Conservative in
that State is another name for the
Democratic and old rebel element,
while the Radicals are in thorough
accord with the Republican party of
the North and the administration.
The Conservatives are running a
carpet -bagger, Judge DENT. for Gov
ernor, while the Republican candi-
date, General ACORN, is an old
resident Of the State, and one of the
heaviest planters in it. We presume
the result in Mississippi may be set
down as doubtful, for it will depend
to great extent on the amount Of
intimidation and wheedling the Con-
servatives may be able to bring to
bear on the negro voters. We have
Istched the Courier closely for some
expression in favor of the native
Mississippian as against the carpet
bag candidate, but it is as dumb as
an Oyster.
