| Railroad connections |
| The House of Delegates having
agreed to Senate amendments to the bill authorizing connections
between the railroads in Richmond
and Petersburg, it is now a law. The railroads will now, no doubt, take the earliest
opportunity of making the connections permanent, as they are required
to do by the bill. |
| The bill for a connecting link
between the Richmond
and Fredericksburg
{Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac} and the Manassas Gap Railroads, at the junctions of the respective
roads, will come up for consideration in the Senate this morning as
unfinished business. The necessity of disposing of them at an early
day is so apparent that they will, no doubt, be considered at the time
mentioned, though from intimations heretofore given, both schemes will
meet with opposition. |
