Now, we beg this ancient Clerk to un derstand that we are not talking about him at all.

JOHN TT. KEXSARD, I J. II Kill V. 1.. II.

JOSEPH. Mr. Kennard enlarged ou the subject under consideration by saying that at tirst blush it would seem that the effect of the bill pending before the Legislature would be to relieve the State from a certain amount of responsibility, whereas a closer inspection revealed that it might increase them. It was for that reason that the provisos had been included in the report. As the bills now stood, the company iniuht claim the right to build railroads over the whole Mr.

Iligby expressed his apprehension that the limitation of live years might interfere with the operations of the company. He moved to strike it out. Mr. Keiinard explained that he bad found that the congresdonal act making the appropriation of land to the company contained this limitation he coiilil not, therefore, see the propriety of an evasion of a limit by the State-. Without the limitation the State would be at the mercy of he company.

Dr. Nojes favored Mr. Hi gby's propo sition, support of hich he argmrd that there were other induencea war in this country that niiiciit chock the operations of this work. He alluded to the case of bonds issued by the State in aid to a certain enterprise which were worth 82 Vi the day preceding the breaking out of the Franco-Prussian war and which were immediately thereafter seriously depreciated and have not since recuperated, thereby adding great difficult to the completion of the enterprise. Mr.

Kennard retorted by saying that he had put the question direct to the company, whether they proposed to re linquish their entire claims against the State. The answer he had received was that they proposed to relinquish it in so far as that portion of road was concerned, upon which they proposed to issue their own first mortgage bonds to the amount of 330.000 per mile. The amendment of Mr. Higby was lost, and the report tnen adopted as presented. The following gentlemen were ap pointed delegates to the convention of river cities, to be held on the 23d.
