A Card.

The recent Developments in regard to the at
fairs Of the s'Towa Central Air Line Railroad
Company" and the comments Of the public
press thereon, render a public denial OF all
statements connected Herewith, 90 far 40 they
relate to the Burlington and Missouri River
Railroad Company. due alike 10 the Company
and to the individual members of the Board
Of Direction The undersigned has been q
member of that B,a-d from the organization
OF the Companv-was President Of it at the
time Of the passage Of the Iowa Land Grant
Act by Congress, in May 1856, and remained
such until June 1857; and has been familiar
| with every transaction of the Company up to
the present tir1e.
The undersigned states mos: positively an
uneqnivecally, that the Burlington and Missou-
ri River Railroad Company have never paid, or
agreed to pay. either directly or indirectly, to
any person or persons, company or assoc iation,
one dollar or any other sum in money, stock,
bonds, lands or other property of the Company,
as compensation for procuring, or aiding, or
attempting TO aid, in procuring the passage Of
said and Grant Act by Congress. No con-
tract by the Company or with any of their
agents, was ever made to promote this o. any
similar purpose, and all staten ents TO that eff.
feet, from whatever source they may emenate,
are wholly untrue.
The Burlington and Missouri River Railroad
Company have never sold, contracted or pledg-
ed in any way, or ever issued a dollar of false.
bogus, unpaid or fraudulent stock or bonds,
to any person or persons whatsoever.
Several months after the passage Of the Iowa
Land Grant Act by Congress, letter from a
gentleman residing IN an Eastern State, was
handed to the President OF this Company. in
which it was suggested that the other Compa-
MES which were benefciaries under the Grant,
should contribute in proportion to the amount
Of land received by each, for aiding to lobby
the Act through Congress, and desiring the
Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Com
pany to pay certain percentage upon the
value of their lands as compensation for the
ssme sort Of services. The letter was laid
before the Board Of Directors, and by I'M
animous vote of that body it was directed to be
returned to its author with peremptory denial
Of the demand. Since then no more has been
heard Of the subject. w. F. CooLBAuGH.
