0-57If the 'oldest inhab;tant" ever experienced or
knew any thing about more dsagrecabe weather
than we have had this summer and fall their rcm-
nscences cannot be of the most agreeable character
Rain has fallen almost necessarily, and the roads
have been almost impossible. Notwithstanding this
there has been an active business in all departments
kept up, and the receipts of wheat have been very
heavy. Had the weather and the roads been ia
vorabe, the business of Southport this season. COM
pared with all previous years, would have been
enormous. AS it is. it has been great and should
the roads ever becsmc passabIe again, we may look
for rush Of business.

In forming general bills for the organization of
railroad companies, the question which has
most attracted the attention o, the two houses
is whether the Legislature possesses the consti-
tutional power to delegate, in any manner. to
any person or railroad corporation, the power to
determine in what cases it may be expedient to
occupy and to take private property for the use
of such corporations, OF assessing the value
OF the properly, and adjusting any differences
that may arise between the corporation and the
landhoder. To-day these questions were de-
clded in the House. general railroad

init, and which authorlses the formation Of

any such company may take and appropriate
private property for the construction OF their
road, IT the Legislature, upon petition, shall de-
eide that the proposed road will be of sufficient
public utility to justify the taking OF private pro-
perty for Its construction SO II Will be seen
that the Legislature reserves to itself the power
OF deciding thls important question, and refuses
to delegate II in any manner.
The bill authorizes the company TO borrow
fifty per cent of the capital stock paid in To aid
In the construction OF the road, and 1t provides
that the fare shall be regulated lot to yield
In any year net proht exceeding ten per cent
per annum, and no alteration OF fare is TO be
made unless II does exceed that rate Railroad

the provisions of this act, far as tis appllcs-
