We learn thescommittee is in possession

to accomplish their purpose, and thai
these propositions will be submitted tc
the Stockholders meeting, which is tc
assemble on the 5th of May. One plan
we are assured, looks TO the consolida-
ton of the Northwestern road with the
Iron Mountain, which will make a
through line, via. Hickman from Nash
vile to St Louis, each road necessarily
having terminus at this place. This
project, if effected, will not disturb the
present Iron Mountain terminus at Co.
iumbus, but strengthen aud render its
stability more certain. This is impor-
tant to Hickman, and should be earnest
ly fought for, because it will invite, in
fact insure, line of railroad connections,
centering at this place, which heretofore
have only existed in the contemplation
of our more sauguine citizens. Hickman,
the past year, has been blessed beyond
expectation in largely increased trade
and prosperity. and with little railroad
encouragement just now, would spring
forward to bright success.

THE TAvEHN TAx.-The City Coun-
ell have concluded to levy special IL
cense of $50 on tavern keepers. We
think it unjust. They had better adopt
some measure for the encouragement of
good hotels. Why not, with equal pro-
priety, require special license from any
and every other business The city re.
quires special license from retail whisky
shops, bus is just enough to protect them
in the privilege they pay for I; but, under
the incomprehensible phraseology of
"visitors who pay tavern keepers are
denied the full benefit of the privilege
charged for. The Council, at least,
should explain what il means BY. "visi-
tors who pay" It's q new phrase to
Kentucky hospitality. IF it means
boarders at sprivate houses" the public
should be warned and the ordinance
written SO. Some Law makers appear to
regard hotels as public enemies-to be
discouraged in every possible way. The
State assumes to regulate their rate of
charges, if anything is left the city goes
for il for special license, and, next, we
suppose Congress will interpose and pre-
scribe the bill of fare, etc., etc. Our To-
cal authorities are justified by prseedents
all over Kentucky, but we think the
spirit erroneous everywhere
