Of the Commonwealth interest in the other mighty
improvements now prosecuting IN the State: On all
hands it conceded that this investment must be
profitable. The balance of floating debt against the
company was very small. II might almos, he said the
company comes before The House clear Of debt. lie
said that in the most unfarorable year, after paying
all current expenses and interest upon monies bor-
rowed, there had been still some forty odd thousand
dollars otproiiis remaining, which would have been d.
vded if the Improvement had been finished. When the
rocd shall be finished from Fredericksburg 10 Aqua

would be much 10 be added to the profits. These cal

But thus was the ouly railroad to which loan had mol

Just ridicule Of the whole Union. But, gentlemen
would give the loan asked, condition that this
line OF Railroad shall establish minimum rate of fare.
No-he charter gives these companies the right to re-
ruatc their charges aud you must not interfere with
their chartered rgh,s-by their acts Of incorporation

as the other interests Of the company. A comparison
was then Instituted between this line OF railroad and
the Portsmouth, and Bay route and after some fur
Their rcnaks from MIR. D.,
Mr. TAYLOR was surprised, he said, that the gentle
man from Richmond should have taken the trouble to
make his speech at this time. A time would come,
when he would return the thrusts that gentlemen
had made agains, the poor Portsmouth Company, when
advocating the present proposition on the ground that
the Company seeking the loan, is rich lie then gave
history OF the and progress Of the two routes.
The competition that had arisen between The two
routes, not lie SAID, praiseworthy rivalry, but
was sought 10 be made, the part OF the upper route,
a grinding monopoly When Mr. TAYLOR sat down,
Mr.. DANIEL again, and spoke long aud well,
though frequently interrupted with explanations. When
