Mr. WHITE Of Knox, proposed to amend, by add

aid to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany, the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Com
pany, or the Junction, Jasper and Charleston Rail-
road Company for the construction Of branch road
from Bridgeport to Jasper.
Mr. WHITE of Knox, made a statement.
Mr. ROBERTS said:
Mr. Speaker, desire to say word or two in ad-
vOcacy of this amendment believe it to be an act
of justice to the people of Marion and Bledsoe cOun-
ties, that the should be adopted, if the Mem
phis and Charleston and Nashville and Chattanooga
al
their roads from Stephenson to Chattanooga, and
have any part of the State aid, which have been
heretofore granted to the said Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad Company extension from Stephenson
to Chattanooga, on thenOrth side Of the Tennessee
river.
Now, sir the State aid could not have been OBJ
tanned but for the reason that the people Of Marion
and Bedsoe countless were to be relieved from their
isolated condition. in the way of railroad and other
facilities.
Now, it does seem to me, Mr. Speaker, that it
would be great injustice to those people, to take
away from them this State aid which 1 insist was
only obtained through the influence of their former
representatives in the Legislature, and transfer it
to the proposed consolidated road, leaving them
nothing. It is mistaken notion that members on
this floor have fallen into who think that the adop-
ton of this amendment would be a grant Of addi-
tiOnal new State aid 1t is only leaving the State
aid where twas intended to be applied when grant
ed but to transfer 1t, any part Of it. to the pro-
posed consolidated road, in my opinion, would, in
substance be a new grant of aid. l do insist, Mr.
Speaker that the House ought to adopt this amend
ment, an act Of justice TO those people through
whose influence the same was obtained 1 shall most
cheerfully vote for the adoption Of the amendment
Mr. WILSON moved to lay the amendment on the
table-ths vote resulting, yeas %, nays 80:
