The news that the United states Circuit
Court, at lis session yesterday in Redmond,
had denied the application Of the Atlantic,
MissiSsipp and Ohio Railroad Company for
the reinforcement OF the sIle Of The road,
caused general satisfaction here. Nobody
appears to regret the prospective loss Of the
city stock if only satisfactory admins
tration of the road can be secured. II
is a curious circumstance that some Of
the gentlemen who have been most
active against General Malone hold
claims against the road which are abso-
lulev lost by the sale, and which might
have been collected from the company II II
had resumed possession. The preference
Aercabouts appears 20 be for the English
bondholders to buy aud manage the road,
50 that line OF direct trade.Wiih Europe
nav be established at Norfolk. AT the hour
Of thi, writing the fate OF the road i not
known, but the fact that general Malone
cannot now be the coming nan appears 10
afford Lynchburg a sufficient comfort.
