SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE CENTRAL RAIL-
RoAD.-ihr. Editor, saw in the Dispatch of Satur
day last an article in which you say there s rumor
that some persons about to the pols of the
vote to tho ctys subscription to the Central Rail-
road. And you seem to have fear that the Coun.
Gil will pay any respect to such scrutiny because
msjority In numbers voted for it. and that the Coun.
Gil win look to its charter and be governed by it.
As have not looked into the charter of the city

power to subscribe, yet they would have the right
to exercise sound discretion. and did not make it

regard the road think it would be but the part Of
wisdom for the Council to refuse this for

Under these circumstances trust that the Council
will not only pay some regard to the minority VOTE
representing large interest but that they will con-
