Louis, The undersigned ttwckhcldcrs of the Colorado and Btmta Ye Eall. way Company rcnpcctfully make their protest against tbe reception or count of the vote cait by W. H. Willlnmo, s-t- sumlng to act for in behalf of the County Court, in the election for the Dircctorn of said company, for the following 1. The power ot the County of Ga-1- vccton is contained iu the proviso to tho first section of tho act to amend an net approved April 1674, entitled "An act to repeal an act entitled 'An act to authorize counties, citios and to ni(l in the construction of railroads and other works of internal approved April 12lh, 1871." Tho County of Galvcstsn shall always have in said company a directory equivalent 10 tbe nmoiiot of stock taken ty said county." The amount of stock owned by the county at present, is five thou nand shares and by individuals twenty- seven hundred and fifty Tht power aa contained in the proviso cnn only rightfully be exercised by apportionment of the County Coutt, acting as a court, of the number Of directors to which tbo ratio of its stock is eniltlcd.

Thin -power caa not be exercised, by simply authorizing a proxy to vote itsBtoclc, because that might rcenltin- defeat of ihe power and not in its execution. The right to vote merely ono thing, whilo the right to appoint is quite another. The former may fail to execute the power, while the latter surely results in the execution of the power. In tbe last case, by the proper appointmouts by tho County Court of the number of directors which the ratio of its stock authorizes, and certifying tbo same i'rom its minutes to the incorporation, theif act ia legal and binding, sad can not be controlled in any man ner or ufieotcd by the acts Or votes of tbe individual stockholders. Besides, in the way the public are informed in the only way known to the luw who constitute those who have been chosen-by the "county of Galveston" ia its equivalent to its -utock." The county hui no right to vote for-tbe whole number of (18).

It can only designate Us equivalent," otherwise tbe county could apooint by its vote the whole directory, which was never designed" by the law. Hav. ing properly certified its equivalent di- rectorj-, the individual st.ock arc cnti tied to fill up the board by voting for as many directors' as constitutes the vote of the stock in' tbo aggregate. The law never intended that the county could, by vo'ing its stock for the whole number of directors, thus shut out'and control tlie appointment of such number of directors as the individual stockholders were entitled to choose according i.o the ratio of their stock. It is easily perceived that if this rule be not the correct one, then in case the in dividut.1 stock should be increased to ono million, the individual stockholders could, by ovcr-ridiog tbe vote of the" county in num.

bors, deprive it of nil voico in the "directory. In tbe case last supposed the county, hy its court, could appoint one-third of tha directory and thus execute the contained in the proviso referred to, and the individual stockholders could only vote for the remaining two-thirds. Without elaborating these obvious propositions, it will suffice to rsferto the uniform practice observed by the City Council in the appointments of the directors tr whicL it in entitled toth in the "Whai i Company and City Railway Company. The statements hereinbefore made with respect to the power of the county of Galveston, acting through its court, is to be taken always with thia qualification, that the cbarte- of tlie Gulf, Colorado aacl Santa Fe Ks-ilroad provides that "no person shall be a director who is not the subscriber of ten or more shares of the capital stock of the-company," Tb subscribers therefore conclude, for the reasons that tbe votes cast or pretended to bo, on yesterday, wwre iliegfl-1, and should not be counted or received--und that the slid election was, in the respects indicated, irregular, not lawful and directly against the sav- eral nets of the legislatures regulating ie subject. undersigned wish it to be well ake no objection here to tho personnel-, AatA to.

Hnrt, nod Hume, as they had received the next highciitnumberof votes and were shnre-holdcra, which the gentlemen named were not. CoL Flournoy again arcac and conn- aeled moderation among the gentlemen present.

He said that the protest was full of matter that was calculated to excite tho fears of those who liad tbe interests and welfare o' the road ut heart. Ku could not say that the young man who held tbe seal of the company, and its records, would give them up so long as tbo doubts and clouds which weit) ruitcd by the protest continued to be facts that Invited serious consideration. Col. Ficlay took the fioor aad said that it had pleased one of tho Bpeakers to designate him ca -a but that he denied tbe soft impeachment. That he was nearly fitly years old, and had arrived at thnt station in life when he could not afford to disorganize anything.

He was present OB a stockholder, to look out for his interests and tbe interests of those wbo felt as he reference to the changed order that had come over the affairs of tbe Guif, Cjlo- rodo and Santa PC Railroad, out of the election that had just been held for a new directory. He said that gentlemen were present who were full of of lawsuits and doubts as to the k-galily if what" had Ibeen done. If lawsuits were to be brought, he knew of no one would bring them but the gentle men themselves, and certimly none but tkamselves were entertaining doubts against which the deflli- nies of tbo railroad were likely- to go to He said thr.t they hud talked about, clouds overshadowing the enterprise, and that with all their pro testations of affection for the railrotj, and their high-sounding praises of their successors, he liad seen none-Tho were disposed to cloud the legality of what had been, done but the gentlemen who were about to step down and out Mr. Lufkin arose aud congratulated the neT7 directory upon their ejection, and said, with uplifted hands, that nothing was sought to he accomplished by the protest but the good of tbe company. Hr.

Kopperl said that in making the motion he was tofliienccd solely by the fact that a clean record was necessary to borrow noney, and that without money railroads oould not be built. Mr. Lufkin called for the residing of the minutes of tho day previous. Ko action. Mr.

He then asked the protest bo spread upon the minutes of the meeting. 1 Mr. Kopperl arose and said that there were certainly serious charges raised the legality of the election by tue protest, and as the quickest remedy that could De applied to cover the complained of, he would move that a new election be ordered. Col. Finlay took the floor and said that Mr.

Kopperl was premature in hit motion; that the charter provided that none but the directors could order an election, and as that body had not yet organized he did not think thatilr. Kopperl or anybody else was -aathor- ized'to foreordain what they should do in this'malter. He did not think the protest, would amount to anything, and regarded it as only a parting shot given by the out-going members to those who would succeed them. Mr. Kopperl responded, urging his motion, and claiming that the stock- aolders ins.d« the directors, and were the controlling power of the company.
