| Government Aid to Railroads |
| The Richmond Examiner,
of the 20th, says: |
| We learn that the railroad
connection through Tennessee and North Carolina, recommended by
President Davis, is to be made a test question in Congress, as to the
propriety of the Government extending aid to some other railroads. The
matter of aiding three roads is under the consideration of the
government, viz: that recommended by the President, that completing the
line now wanting between Montgomery and Jackson, and the Texas road, to
complete communications between that State and Louisiana. |
