New RAILROAD BmL.-The Boston Traveller
states that bill has recently been reported in
the House of Representatives of Massachusetts
which provides that no application for a railroad
shall be acted upon until the applicants shall pre-
sent bona fdc subscription for tho stock equal to
fifty per cent Of the capital required; that no ap-
pcation for an increase OF capital shall be granted
previous to the opening of the road, unless the
then existing capital shall be taken up and sub
scribed for; that the construction of rond shall
not be commenced until three fourhs of the capital
stock shall have been Internationally subscribed for
that no railroad corporation shall borrow any mo-
ncy until its capital stock shall have been subscribed
for; nor shall such corporation owe debts exceed
ing twenty five per cent upon the capital paid in
and its capital stock docs not exceed one million.
and twenty per cent. if it's capital stock exceeds
that amount; any corporation disrcgarding this
provision forfcits its charter, and the directors
under whose administration II may happen
made liable for the In their private capacity.
The bill also forbids the issue of stock below its par
value.

made but little difference; the Governor Of that
State bad less power than almost any other Gov
ernor- He had no veto. He had nothing 70 do or

public men will lend themselves to popular and

make their publications vehicles of detraction and
Mr. HOUSTON disciaimed having any desire to
add in any way to any prejudice which may be
existing against South Carolina. He then read
from the constitution of South Carolina the prov-

that he had inadvertently overlooked the conclud-
ing part OF it, which required only citizenship.

MILEAGE OF CALIroRNIA SENATORS.
Mr.. COOPER, from the Committee on the Judi

ported that in the opinion of the committee the
provision in the act of 1850, directing that the
mileage Of the California members shall be COM

within the limits of the United States, was perma.
manent and not temporary.

From The Boston Evening ITaueller, March s.
The Accusation against MIR. Webster.

The following statement ia made on the proper
authority. 1t is important. showing the exact
state of the facts the subject in question, and
afording a full explanation of matter, in respect
TO which, in consequence of apparent discrepant
statements, the public mind has been somewhat
embarrassed
We are authorized, both by Mr. Otis, of Maine,
and Mr.. Greedy to state that the conversation be-
tween them, which has been referred to of late,
here and elsewhere, related entirely to the rumors
and reports which in Boston at that time,
(July last,) in reference to the formation of MIR.
to be Secretary of State. The object of Mr. Otis, in
calling on MIR. Greedy, solely to obtain infor-
nation on that point, and the information given by
Mr.. Greedy had reference to that point
Mr.. Greedy answered Mr.. Otis's inquiries, by
stating the conflicting reports which were in circu-
lation, said TO conc from Mr. Webster and others.
In this way Mr. Otis may have COMPOUNDED, as
coming from Mr.. Haven, what was said to be re-
ported from others. In few minutes after the
conversation commenced, Mr.. Haven came in, upon
other business, and Mr.. Greedy did inquire of him
mcnt of Secretary of State and Mr. Haven an
swered that Mr.. Webster had written that the
President had rendered him the Office.
Dir. Otis believes that Mr.. Greedy said Mr.. Ha-
ven, in addition, told him that MIR. Webster hest
tatcd from the pecuniary sacrifice he would have to
make, and that he said he should write to Mr..
Webster urging him to accept the place. Mr..
Greedy, however, has no recollection of this, as
coming from Mr.. Haven, but thinks that matter
was alluded TO incidentally by other pcrsons who
afterwards came into the office, before Mr. Otis left.
and that he COMPOUNDED the one conversation with
the other.
All the information asked for, and received had
reference solely TO the fact whether Mr.. Webster
was to be Secretary of State; and Mr.. Otis 80 in
tended TO be understood, when he made his state
mcnt in July last, and in his more recent ex-
PLANTATION Of that statement. There was nothing
In the statement that could be, by any ingenuity,
perverted TO the purpose OF showing proposition
from Mr.. Webster TO obtain money; or that could
be used by any one for that purpose either accord
ing 10 the recollection Of the conversation by Mr..
Otis or Mr.. Greedy.
From the above it will be seen that the statement
made'by Mr. Otis could furnish no basis for tho
late attack upon Mr.. Webster; nor does i. in any
degree justify sustain the extraordinary position
taken by Mr.. Allen in the late attack.

Hon. Edward stanly.

The people Of this district will regret to learn
from the subjoined letter (says the North State
Whig'') that their faithful Representative in
Congress declines being again candidate for
reelection. The reluctance with which Mr..
SrANLY accepted the nomination in 1913 is
well-known--a reluctance that was overcome
only by the peculiarly embarrassing circum-
stances which the Wings of the district then
found themselves in, owing to Mr.. Bryan'shav-
ing been compelled to decline, on account of
sickness, after commencing the canvass. The
business Of selecting and electing Representa-
tive is in the hands of the Wings. A district
that gave Gen. Taylor upwards of a thousand
majority cannot elect Locofoco if the Wings
are united.

Recent Accounts from Texas confirmed.
We are informed that reports have been re-
ceived at the Department Of War, hordSG
raj BROOKE, which indicate an increasing bold
ness on the part of the predatory Indians, who,
for the past eighteen months, have given SO
much trouble on the Texan frontier. The
Comanches, especially, have extended their
incursions to the neighborhood of the military
posts, and have manifested no little holiness
in encountering some Of our scouting parties of
nearly equal force.
On the 25th of January Lieut. WALKER,
of Ford's company of Texas mounted rangers,
with twenty-one men, fell n-with band of
fifteen Comanche warriors, when brief con-
flict took place, during which, and in the pur-
suit that followed, four of the enemy were
killed, and as many more wounded; be-
sides which, most of their horses, and some
other articles, which they were forced to aban-
don in taking refuge in the chapparal, were
captured. This party had been watched for
some weeks by this company before it was
known with certainty that they had committed
acts of hostility. The horses captured from
them were ascertained to have been stolen !;
and Mexican youth whom they had made
prisoner two days before, and who had been
released during the fight, reported that they
had committed two murders while he was
with them. Two days after this affair
a party commanded by Lieutenant Bun
Lesson, of the same company, on march from
San Antonio, five miles west Of the Nueces,
discovered party Of fourteen Indians to the
right Of the road. Taking eight men on the
best horses, he moved rapidly after them
They retreated for some miles but, finding it
impossible to avoid an engagement, they at
length halted and prepared for battle. Lieu
tenant BURLEsoN ordered his men to dismount
and secure their horses, when the Indians in
stantly charged, engaging him simultaneously
in front, flank, and rear. A close and hardly
contested fight, almost hand to- hand, ensued,
and lasted about twenty minutes, when
the enemy broke, leaving four warriors
dead on the field, and carrying off seven wound
ed. On the part Of the volunteers one man was
killed. and all the rest, except one, wounded
including the lieutenant commanding, Among
the articles captured in these skirmishes were
blankets and knives, which had been given to
the Indians only few weeks previous by the
Indian agent, on the occasion of forming
treaty with them. Some weeks before large
party Of Lipans, on predatory excursion, had
been discovered and chased by Lieutenant
KING, Of Captain McCULLocY's company Of
Texas mounted volunteers and afterwards the
captain himself followed up the trail over
rough and difficult country, and captured sew
eFal AsEses and mules, and large quantities of
buffalo robes, blankets, saddles, and brides,
most of which latter articles had been stolen
from the citizens.
We understand the officers above named have
been complimented by the Department for the
zeal and spirit displayed by them in these
affairs,
