Mswae'ottan exults over this; but thought
full men think that II isf1a doubtful policy
on the part Of the Governor, to prscipitaae
1 collision with the Court, when it can be
avoided. And in this case there seemed
to be no. necessity for it. What ooune
the Court will take in the matter, remains
to be seen. ia3-,8a aH,~~4aa12sai -ts.ez;s
Il The sentiment is universal, that the old
Companies should be awipeds osty . .pes-
Oily as possible, if they cannot buildsth
roads, The trouble With Coy. Ramaey's
policy seems to be, that instead Of doing
this, it only opens the WY for endless
litigation with them.l I have good author
ity for saying that Attorney Gepsr,l Cole,
advised foreclosure by IN action; for that
purpose; making Al pessons interested,
parties thereto. This would have finally
settled the whole matter I am told the
Governors objection was, that it would
take too long; that the matter must be
cleared away before the next session Of tho
Legislature. But it seems hardly proba-
ble that the course adopted, will be any
more prompt. As it stands, there is at
least q grave doubt whether the sale
amounts to anything. Will any capitalist
expend money in the roads, with these
doubts over their title The general feel
ing seems to be, that "slow and sure''
would have been . better policy. .r,r,.:t
