Important Railroad Decision.

The Supreme Court of Missouri have just made a
decision involving large amount of subscriptions OF
stock to the Pacific Railroad After the orr gnal sub
scrption of the stock this road the Legislature made
several amendments 10 the charter. Among others
was one repeating the section which fixed the Western
terminus of the road in Cass county, and in effect,
changing that far the route of the road as it has since
been located to Kansas Other changes were made,
of great value the stockholders, TO w.t. relieving
them from their liability under the general law for
double the amount of stock subscribed
A vote of the stockholders was had on the adoption
of the amendments 10 the charter ma orty in num-
bers and interest voted in it's favor. But consdera-
bic number refused to vote thus, and then, the ad-
option of the amendments, they refused to pay the in
staments their stock, the ground that the char
Ter having been changed without their consent, they
were released from their subscriptions The railroad
company brought suit TO the instruments that
had fallen due, and the decision now made settles the
point in controversy.
The Supreme Court have ruled that the plea of the
subscribers is insufficient; that the Legislature neces
sary has the right of amendment to all laws, provi-
ded vested rights not impaired that the changes
made in the Railroad charter so far from impairng
the rights OF the stockholders. only made them
secure, by lessening their liabilities and giving them
more liberal scope for the location of their road. -
The Court held the defendants still bound, and all
snbscr ptions will have to be paid. The in
