ing an investigation into the affairs Of this

way the people are to be become advised
Of the manner in which Meir money is DIS
posed Of. The law makes it the duty Of
directors Of such corporate bodies to Pub
lish an annual exhibit Of the conditioB Of
their affairs yet, we believe nothing Of the
kind has been done by gentlemen having
control Of this road. The people Of this
city and county are taxed. very heavy tc
pay their railroad'and Turnpike bonds, and
