ORC WARRASro AGAINST THE BRoUGH RoAD-Ws
puElisb this morning pursuance OF order OF the
Circuit Court for Madison County, made at the term just
closed notice of exhibition, leave granted by the
Court of an information in the nature of Quo Warrsno,
TO test the validity of the aedged charter under which
John Brough and others, his associates, claim 10 be IN
corporaed by the Of the Atlantic and Mississippi
Railroad Company and such Incorporation to have
the right TO construct railroad from Terre Haute across
our State to Illnostown or ~. Louis This Is no ono
sided fictitious law suit like some others with which our
Courts have been beset and IN when the parties on each
side acted under the influence and interest 1t
yeriiable and substantial proceeding.
Nothing so far ar we are advised has yet been presented
in sny case heretofore gotten under the auspices Of Col
Brough or decided by the Courts which can In any wise
be arayed successfully against the prosecution OF the pres
ent case or preclude decision upon It's merits NOW We
doubt not this matter which has long aga,ed the S,ats
from aena Cairo which has caused the expense OF sew
era extra sessions Of the Legislature and greatly parayzed
the construction of the Terre Haue and Alton Railroad
one of the most important in the United States will be
probed to the bottom, and that thereby 1t will be mads
manifest that Col Broughs Company never was organized
according 10 the provisions Of the General Railroad law II
this State and consequently not embraced for legs!a
tive action in the proclamation OF the Governor convenng
the Legislature last winter in extra session.
IT, az believe this subject not 40 embraced, then
clearly without the pale OF legislative acton on thai
occasion The legislature convened IN extra or special
session. could act no subject not expressly
subjects not thus enumerated in regard to the war
then pending between Turkey and Russia The advocates
of this last legislative abortion 10 forget or desgn-
edy 10 keep out Of view that the proclamation Of the Gov
ernor il "a much the subject Of construction law IN

Interpreter Of it, authors intention. No matter what
thoughts and purposes may have been in the mind Of Gov
Matterson when drafting and issuing this document Hs
purposes wored therein and TO be ascertaned ana dc

used must limit and control the legislative action Al
outside Of that limit utterly void and the Execuv'
