From the Knoxville Press and Herald, 4th


The directors of the East Tennessee,
their office in this city yesterday morn
ing, with a full board present.
The object of the meeting was to con-
slider the feasibility and propriety of
completing the unfinished four miles of
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston Railroad, between Wolf
Creek, the present terminus, and Paint
Rock, North Carolina.
The early completion of this line is of
the greatest Importance to the owners of
the line from MorristoWn, this invest
ment being practically valueless unless
the road is completed through 10 the
State line. This the owners, (the stock
holders of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia RailToad), feel, and have
Iabored with all the means at their com
Inand to ensure its contamination, and If
our friends in North Carolina will use
equal diligence they will have no fault
TO find with the East Tennessee side.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed, which show the spirit animating the
Directors:
Resogr6a. That in view of the import
anCe of the early completion of the Gin
cinnati, Cumberland Gap and Charles
ton Railroad the officers of this company
be requested to employ at once a compe-
tent engineer to estimate the work to be
done, and report as early as practical
BILE thereon.
Reetsed That the officers of this com
pany, when satisfactorily assured of the
early completion of the Western North
Carolina Railroad, shall be and are here
by empowered to make all necessary con-
tracts 10 insure the completion of the.
work remaining to be done between
Wolf Creek and the State Line
EeSOtred, That Jos. JaQues, Jos. Il. An
deIsOn and S. ID. Reynolds, be appointed
"A committee to examine and ascertain
the amount of business transacted ut the
different depots or stations on line OF
the road, and to discontinue any such
depOts as in their opinion are unproflta-
bic and not to the interest of the com
pany, to maintain or continue.
The readers will sec that directors OF
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Company realize that they have too
much at stake to delay in this matter,
and as soon as they see that the people
across the mountains mean business the
work onthis end will be pushed through.
As it now stands, their investment is so
much dead capital, the road running TO
Wolf Creek not paving expenses, but
when completed to the. Strife line, con
Meeting with the Western North CARROLL
ma road, it will be one of the best pay
ing in the State. The company has al
ways advocated the connection and has
given substantial proof of it in times
past, as is known to those interested.
There are, however, sixty or seventy
miles to be constructed on the North
Carolina side, and the short distance OF
four miles will not be left uncompleted-
A dividend Of three per cent. on the
capital stock of the company was declar--
ep, payable April 1st, 1876.

TIE PROSPECT FOR THE NORTH
CAROLINA CONVECTION
At q meeting of the Knoxville
Board of Trade, last Thursday night,
Col. Rollins, representing our South
ern Connection line from Wolf
Creek to Asheville and from Old
Fort to Salisbury, n. c., stated that
there would be 700 hands put to
work on the North Carolina side of
the mountains, and before fifteen
months there would be railroad CON-
munication direct to Wilmington.
lie had visited the city, he said, for
the purpose Of consulting with the
directors of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad, and
get them, to. build the road to the
State line. Mr.. Sanford then offer
ed the following resolution
ResoLUed, That in the opinion Of
the Board of Trade, it is very i'm
portant to the agricultural and mer-
camille interests Of East Tennessee,
that the E. T., Va. & Ga. r. r. com
plete the additional four miles from
Wolf Creek to the n. G. line 80 that
supplies can be furnished for the
construction of that road from this
section of the country, and that
committee of three be appointed TO
urge it upon them.
Messrs. f. J. Sanford, Mayor d.
A. Carpenter and J. w. Gaut were
appointed as said committee, Col.
Crozier putting the motion TO the
house.
Col. Rollins said he was glad of
the aid furnished for he wanted to
get his supplies from East Tennes-
see. They were now using hay
grown in New England, and brought
from Washington by rail, as we'll as
other articles, which we had just
across the mountains. He now
wanted 250 wheelbarrows as one
item, and many other things which
he could get cheaper in Knoxville
than elsewhere, but the gap of four
miles on the c., C.. G. & G. r. r.
prevented their shipment. They
wanted hay, dry goods, Harris bit
tiers, boots, shoes, powder, iron. ba-
con, adj infinitum, which our sec
tion should supply but could not IN
til this small link was built.

the matter, in order that the existence Of the
oct be first ascertained, and then whether il
be constitutional and binding.
The concoction Of this bill must have been
with the view to meet the very emergency
which has arisen, and to prevent the House
from any sudden action on the question Of
impeachment, though it's passage ante-dates
the Wheeler compromise. Probably it was q
shrewd trick Of the Radical party managers to
forestall the possible results Of the then
muoted adjustment
Whether this trick can succeed Of whether
the Governor proposes to fall back on this
law, in the event Of impeachment, or shelter
himself under the terms Of the compromise,
or whether the act, il in existence, has the
force Of law, are questions quite impossible to
answer at this juncture.
We have never believed that any act Of the
Hahn House was legal, as the House itself
was the grossest possible fraud-the out.

3 GRAVE RUMOR.

II is said that Gov Kellogg holds in his pos
session bill, which was passed at the last
regular session Of the Legislature, and which
has become law, whereby the Speaker of the
House is removed from the line Of succession.
We have taken some trouble to learn if such
an act is really in existence, but as yet have
failed to find it. though We are led to believe,
from the evasive answers given by officials
when inquiry is made, that the rumor is based
on fact.
Certain it is that no such act has as vet
been promulgated in the official journal,
though We presume if occasion required and
if such an act be really in existence it
would be promulgated in time to suit the
necessities Of the parties against whom the
action of the House might be leveled. The
rumor goes that not only does this act remove
the Speaker Of the House from the line of
succession, but it requires articles Of impeach-
ment against the Governor to be presented at
the bar of the Senate before that officer is
suspended from the exercise of his functions.
The Lieutenant Governor is to act as Gov
ernor during the trial of the Governor but
articles Of impeachment against that officer,
under the provisions of the act, will not work
suspension until after the case against the
Governor shall have been decided by the
Senate.
The President of the Senate is to succeed
the Lieutenant Governor as acting Goyernor,
and in the event of the removal of that func.
tionary by death OF impeachment, the Senate
is to elect new President, VIII will act as
Governor. Such pre- the provisions Of this
bill, as we learn, and it bshooves the men,
bers Of the House to inquire speedily into
