will be completed to its northern ter
minus by January l, 1871. The gap
(now only 80 miles) in the Evansville,
Henderson & Nashville Railroad will
be closed during the month of Sep
tember next. The Chicago & Dan
Vile Railroad is reported to be making
fair progress, and its managers prom
ise its completion TO Danville by the
close of the present year; thus making
with our Road and the Evansville &
Charlottesville Railroad a great
through route from Nashville to
Chicago.
In view of the important connec-
tons this Road will soon have; the
productiveness of the country through
which it passes; and the coal and
iron trade which it must inevitably
command, it is not unreasonable to
anticipate that the Evansville, Terree
Haute & Chicago Railway is destined
to become one of the most important
and profitable in the West.

The New Funding Bill.

NEW York, June 4. ALL the
Washington specials this morning.
seem to agree in asserting that the
new Funding Bill. as matured by the
Ways and Means Committee, is emil
nently distasteful to Secretary Bout
well, and that members very generally
express the opinion that there will be
no legislation on finances at this ses-
sion. Although the Committee has
been very reticent concerning its pro-
visions, it has been learned that:
Frst-The loan is for one thou
sand millions of consolidated stock.
Secoad-The bonds are plain four
per cent thirty year obligations. free
from all national, State, or municipal
taxation. except as imposed on In
come.
Third-Deposits of gold in the
Treasury, at three per cent interest,
are authorized; the proceeds uf such
deposits 10 be used in the redemption
of five twenties, beginning with the
earliest issue, those of 1862.
This is the length and breadth of
the scheme. The proposition of Bout
we'll for foreign agencies is left ont.
and there is not word about banks
in the bill.
