The eastern clarion. [volume] (Paulding, Miss.) 1837-1863, 1858-11-13

State for 6 wears without interest, to the
Mobile and Ohio. the Mississippi and Ten
,,cscc the southern, the Mississippi Cen
fraI and 10 the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northen Railroad Companies.
Al the time this loan was made, that Is,
81, the 18th November 1857. il was sup
poaed that SlO4,745 35-l00 was the whole
of the per cent. fund. then in the Treas
urv-but on examination, and from Mr..
Arthur's report, il is apparent that the
further sum Of SOS, 24S O4-lOO is due to
this fund. and was by the said act Of the
18th November, 1857, loaned to the be-
fore mentioned railroad companies.
would recommend that the Graves de
ialcation Of Sj,043 SLIGO in this connec- |
ton be disposed Of as in connection with |
the per cent. fund. and that the said |
sum Of S95,24S % 100 be re-appropriated !
or loaned to said railroad companies, pay |
able on or after the first day of July 1859, |
avoiding thereby any embarrassment to
/ the Treasury, and any question as TO
whether or not railroad companies are en-
/ titled TO the fund. And would suggest,
/ that if you should adopt my recommenda-
ton of tax of I Of one per cent. in favor
Of railroads. that both this sum and the
amount due the two per cent. fund, should
be paid from that source Of revenue.

, mend to your careful consideration, the
J various suggestions therein made, as | am
myself fully satisfied of their general pro-
, priety. Ifyou wish to be relieved Of the
, present heavy expenditure by the State,
, in support Of this institution, you must

. pauper patients: In the present condition
: Of the ASYLUM YOU have but few pay pa
