| And now for the conclusion to which this rea-
soning has been directed. May now ask, not
with triumph only, but with defance-WU not
the Virginia railroads. tDhen fnished, Pug at least
| per cent net upon their cost?
| Sir, it does seem to me that no rational being
would controvert the conclusion.
Well, sir, if they shall pay per cent, where,
IN Gods name, is The risk Of furnishing loan Of
State bonds Tor their early completion?
Remember, sir, that ii does not require per
cent net income to make the State safe i'll the loan.
Seven per cent. will pay the interest and sinking
fund quota her ,rhote Investment, but it will re
quire net revenue of only about "a per cent. to
give her ample security for the loans now proposed,
the amount of those loans being only one-thir
part of her entire subscription.
Mr.. Speaker, not only believe, most Solemnly
believe, that our roads will pay per cent, but
will do far nore-overgo the per cent required
for interest and sinking fund.- and contribute to The
treasury generous revenue 10 reduce the taxes of
the people. All our railroads will do it, some in
more and some in less degree; but when that grand
end and I'M OF our internal improvement policy
Shall have been reached-the through line of our
transit between our seaboard and the waters OF
Oho-w hen the great central railroad shall bsect
the mineral spring region of the State, transporting
20 those celebrated watering places tumultuous
throngs of the gay votaries of pleasure and the in
valid seekers of health, from every quarter and
section of the Union-when it shall catch the
mighty stream of t.av and of trade that sets in
perpetual current between the eastern and western
sections of this broad land-and, above all, when
1t shall form connexlon at Coyington with our
much abused water line, casting upon the bosom
OF our canal innumerable tons of heavy trade from
the great producing west-I say, when this great
great object of our improvement policy shall have
been accomplished, as God is my Judge, believe
that the income of our public works will furnish u
revenue that will reduce almost to nothing the
taxes of the people. Sir, / trust shall be spared
to behold the dawnings of that glorious day when
shall be proclaimed The contamination of the great
central connexion between our seaboard and the
west; for if do, shall live to see the entire full
flment of the prophecy this day venture: and
shall live, too, to witness the shame and confusion
of those who's timidity and skepticism have post
poned SO long, alas. too long. though hope not
fatally, an enterprise fraught with benefits SO
priceless.

much emphasis. ow we are to ascertain the num-
Der of tons, the amount of travel and of trade,

The colonial government of Jamaica is at war with il

likely to deprive Of the members Of that body
OF certain emoumen,s, personal motives naturally

by the original re,renchment bill, aud rendering the re-
ceiver general liable TO penalty of five hundred pounds

council also rejected Whereupon the governor issued
his proclamation proroguing the legislature for few
days. thus leaving the question of supply "open one"
again. The Assembly, firm in their determinations
passed the same retrenchment bill. which the council
again rejected; The House then passed the import
duty bill, with the appropriation clauses which the
council again rejected The Assembly then came TO the
following resolution
