DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE.


sion on last Tuesday and Wednesday. The bill
under consideration one to amend the charter
OF the Raleigh and Castor Railroad Company.
The SD section of the charter of the Central
Road provides that the Raleigh and CASTOR Road
may be connected with the Central Road when the
latter is completed to Raleigh; and the 1sth sec
tlon OF the bill to amend the charter of the former
provides for condemning the lands in order to form
the connexion. This section was stricken out with
out much debate, and Mr.. Avery, of Burke offer
ed an amendment providing for condemning the
lands but prohibiting the junction being formed
until the superstructure was laid upon the Central
Road from Goldsborough to Raleigh.
MIR. Strange, of New Hanover, opposed the
amendment, and was replied to by Gen. Saunders
The discussion then became general, and was par
tclpated in by Messrs. Spruill, Collins, McDugal6
Hill of Caswell, Hill of Duplin, Dobbin, Amis,
Dargan, Scales, Caldwell of Guilford, Turner of
Orange, Philips, Wilder, and others. Mr.. Hill of
Duplm, moved to amend the amendment by pro-
viding that no lands should be condemned until
the superstructure was laid on the Central Road to
Raleigh and after considerable discussion his
amendment was rejected
Mr. Hill, Of Caswe then moved to amend tv
giving the State four Directors instead of three on
the Raleigh and CASTOR road. This amendment
caused good deal of debate, and was at last re-
jected. (See vote upon it in Wednesdays proceed
ings) Mr.. Smith, of Halifax, offered an amend
ment authorizing the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad
Company to extend their road to the navigable wa
tiers on the Roanoke river which was adopted with
ont of
amendment to give the election of Directors to the
people, which got II votes in its favor. Mr. Ave
rvs amendment was finally adopted on Wednes-
day evening, and the bill then passed its second
reading. (For outline Of the discussion see
proceedings.)
We can perceive good reason why the State
which owns half the stock in the Raleigh and
CASTOR Rail Road Company-should not have an
equal voice with the stockholders in the affairs Of
the corporation. Indeed, the proposition to give
the State four Directors in the Company appears to
be so fair and just in itself that are surprised
at the opposition manifested to it. The principle
involved in this matter is of far more importance
than some gentlemen seem to suppose. If the rule
should be established that the State is not to have
voice in corporations in proportion to her amount
.of stock, the result must prove injurious to the
cause of Internal Improvements generally.
Whenever the stockholders in any work own
more stock than the State it is but just that they
should exert controlling power, or at least be in
a condition through the Directors to do so; and
the same rule ought to be insisted on, and main
tanned by the State where the State owns
jority of the stock.
We have only to add the hope and belief that
the Senate, when the bill shall reach that body,
will insist the four Directors on tue part of the
State.

OS rs CRIPT.

= The last Baltimore Sun contains a despatch da
ted Nashville, November 9, which says return.
from xty-six Counties in Tennessee-being all ex
eept nine-show Wing gain of $50 since the last
Governors election. This leaves no doubt that Scott
has carried the State by small majority.
1t is said also to be quite certain that Kentucky
has voted for Scott by about 1900 majority.
The returns in Iowa come in slowly but it is
certain that Pierce has carried the State.
Nothing further from Florida or Louisiana, but
they have certainly voted for Pierce. Gen. Scott
has four States-Vermont, Massachusetts,, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee. Forward Vermont heads
the column, and Scott leads in Vermont.

The ELECTION. Since last issue (says the
Union,) have received additional returns from the
various States but they are vague, and, in some
instances contradictory, that prefer to postpone
their publication until we get the official statement of
the vote. Enough has been heard from Georgia to
convince that the regular Pierce and King ticket
will have majority of from five ten thousand over
all other tickets. The aggregate majority against
Scott will not be less than twenty-five thousand. The
returns from Florida give large democratic gains on
the gubernaoral election, and indicate that the
State will 60 fer Pierce by twelve hundred majority.
Louisiana gives Pierce respectable majority. Ala
bama and Mississippi give immense democratic ma
joriLies. From Kentucky nothing has been heard ;
think it probable that it gives Sect Small ma
jority. On the other hand, regard Tennessee as
pretty safe for Pierce and King. In Knox county,
Pierce gains three hundred the wing vote for gov
sixteen hundred. Two precincts in Blount give him
gain of eighty.
