The initiative H. business, said that lie would
iosu one of ten men to take 100000 of the
stock. Judge Mason, Col. W. Y. Scott and Col
Hall quickly responded and subscribed the same
amount This looks little more encouraging
than usual, and we have strong assurances from
gentlemen, who nave every opportunity of know
ing thatCherNGre but few obstacles in the way at

push ahead and tap this wheat growing region,
and lei the Southern Pacific do the same We
have 0u abiding faith in both projects, especially
since Cushing has has his shoulder to the wheel
ofhha one ana Loughery of the other. We give
cory Of the resolutions adopted at the late
meeting
T.so, a. That this meeting is much graft
iod al Dka present prospects OF the Southern IA
ciGa Railroad Company.
2. That we highly approve of the termination
of the suit OF The State ys-the Company, for a
forfeiture of Quarter, by which great burden is
removed from the enterprise, and its franchises
are lefb nnimpaired.
3. That the recent paymento of the debts of the
company places it upon high grounds, for public
favor and confidence showing that under the
most embarrassing circumstances, it possessed
all the elentnts Of recuperation and success
and If under eG:h weight of difficulties. it has
accomplished 50 much, we may confnently hope
for great success in the future.
l. That while this enterprise is national in its
character, ii jig eminently and peculiarly Texas
enterprise, aTpcaipg to the fostering care and
protection of every citizen, and the State; and
while it is among us, it should, at the same time
bc Of u.s. therefore, every citizen who can, should
/be interested in its capital stock.
). That we recommend to all the counties along
the limo Of the road the appointment Of commit
tees to opan books for the subscription to the
capital stock of the company, until the five hun
dred thousand dollars, set apart by resolutions
of the company last April, shall be taken.
6. That the Southern Pacific Railroad compa-
be requested to appoint committees in. the varI-
GUS counties IN the line of the route to sell the
stock of the mmany, SO as to identify the peo-
pe of Texas more fully in the success OF the en-
geprise.
r. That while the public policy of Texas, with
reference TO her Railroad system, is liberal and
,ef6c,ent. vet in the details OF her legislation on
'.lss aubGct, here are doubtless imlsrfections,
which should be corracted, by amendaory legs-
lation as coon as they are discovered and we
have full condolences and so assure all Interested,
tlrat all necessary legislation will be gnnted by
The State, for the removal of imperfectins that
may exist, with reference to this company
.. That we are highly gratiied with thSshow-
ing made by DR.. Fowlks, of the conditio ana
15turo management of the company, aIi we
rledge cur cooperation and sustaining inftence
IN carrying ut the same.
O. That We cannot too highly express our rat
ifcation at the happy termination of all the
troubles and difficulties, that have so long ,m-
,arrnssed this enterprise, and the union of eiSrt
now being made to accomplish this great worl.''
