Is the fact thai, that Company has
mortgaged every foot Of Its Land Grant
10 secure the completion Of the road to

mind Of the editor Of the Haaak- Ess
and does be axpsSa aay relief By falsely

The Mississippi and Missouri Railroad
Company have not mortgaged q single
acre Of their Land Grant, nor have they
allowed single note or mortgage, to 20

eipal Or interest.
1t is true, thai the Company hare re-
fused to pat work aadsr contract, whore
the counties refused to aid them. Is that
any proof OF insolvency and If il Is, is
it not equally applicable to the Burling-

finished, will maks their terminus az this

see how the interest Of the Burlington
Company can be advanced, BY such silly
falshocds as those put forth By the
