GENERAL.

The election Of Mr.. C. K. Garrison, Presi-
dent OF the Missouri Pacific Railroad, to the
Presidency of the Wabash Road, is likely
to be followed by a number Of important
changes in the connections of several of the
leading roads. The Wabash has pur-
chased the unfinished Chicago and
Paducah Road, which will be util-
lied bv the Wabash in securing
an independent through line from st. Louis
to Chicago. The Illinois Central meanwhile
has begun the survey Of a new connecting
line from Kinney, in Dewitt County, to East
st. Louis, which it is reported will be con-
structed in the shortest practicable time.
Other changes are talked Of, but the two
mentioned seem to be fully determined
upon.
It is reported that negotiations are pend
ing for the consolidation Of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroads under one man
agement.

tendernotes "within ordinary limits" Silver
dollars will be exchanged for greenbacks or
National Bank notes in multiples Of $1,000,
and the expense of transportation will be
paid by the United States Government. A
specie issue of legaltenders of large denom-
nations win take the place Of gold certifi-
