"yVhaf we Know About it."

On Tuesday Of last week the C9un-
Gil of Louisville decided adversely to
the proposition to make the loan asked
for the Eliz2bethton and Paducah
Rail Road. This proposition had
been for some time pending, when
Gen. Malone visited that City in the
interest of our Kentucky extension.
OF course there could be no action on
the proposition to meet the \. NJ, &
o. r. r., at Cumberland Gap until
this loan had been considered and
disposed of. The fell is nov open
fer the action asked for by the l.. 4
r. r. r., TO enable its company to
meet us at the Gap. Louisville is
already bound for one million for
the.puTposc. and il is not likely it will
Withhold tie remaining million asked
for. Our latest and most reliable
adyices are favorable to it. Gen.
Malone canLot take action until this
result be known. If granted, the
tannel at the Gap vii be required.
and upon that work will have to be
made the haste necessary to complete
the whole line in the shortest time.
Il the loan be not made by Louis
vile, then the tu6cel VII not be
needed as the line will Ee diverted
from Kentucky to Nashville. 1nere
are no indications that Gen. Malone
has any idea Of the abandonment OF
the Cumberland Gap Road. Such a
thing would imply the serious Injury
of his great reputation, the defeat
of his entire scheme. the overthrow
Of his plans, and the explosion of the
A. NJ. & o. Rail Road organization.
