The Pacific Railroad, E. D.

We have received copy of the ar.
gumen.. made before the Secretary Of
the Interior by Mr.. Meade. the counsel
for the Fremont Company Of the Paci-
fc Railroad, f. D.. and its clear and
lucid statements. supported BY facts and
law, demonstrate beyond doubt that
the Hallett-Perry Usher company is
Illegal, swindls and humbug-Ihat
il. has no legal right to any thing, not
even an existence; hence that all its acts
are illegal. Some Of the points are
these:
The Fremont company have. and
have had all the time, 12l shares of the
stock, which is confined to 200 shares
thus they have majority of4l votes.
The pretended election OF the Perry Of
fcers took place at an irregular meet
ing in st. Louis, wlie reas. the charter
compels the meeting to be held in Kan
sas for all such purposes.
The Perry company never has held
legal meeting and never can. from the
fac, that at most they never have con-
trolled over 79 votes against l2l.
After the road was located via kel-
Iley's junction, and work commenced
upon it. thus. according to all law and
precedent. the company having exhaus-
ted its powers and rights on this point,
the road is located by Hallett, without
the consent of the company, via Wyan-
idotte.
Other matters are given Of vital mo-
ment, ana the miserable manner in
which the road is constructed is shown
up. On this forcible statements Of
facts. the bonds for the road were with
held by order Of the Presiden. and the
Secretary Of the Interior: and we have
no doubt the courts viii decide the
question of rights in the road adversely
TO the Perry-swindling- bogus clique.
and tina, it is knowledge Of the fact
tha. they have no legal rights in the
road or under the treaty, and no rights
al All. except the robbers, that has caus-
ed them to use such vile means to ex-
tort money from the settlers on the Re-
serve. and to make such exer,ions TO
steal. saw up and sell all the timber pos
sible from the lands.
We trust that justice will yet over
take this robbing. swindling and heart
less set Of plunderers. and they be
made to suffer the Just dement's OF their
crimes.

Let me, therefore. in brief word.
say to your people. through your excel

does not seem 10 determine their vote
For they vote Bonds only on the condi-
ton that the Road passes through their
County. And Of the forty miles from
our western Road.to Topeka. no. much
less than thirty miies-at leas, t,centy; ;dee

Grasshopper Falls and Oskaloosa. Aud
venture the assurance that not town

be over one hours drive at most, not
two-from the depo,-giving all your
people daily mail, with the morning
news, and also Sonyenient and reliable

Then can it be question. whether
the interests of your people, are not

the building Of the Road, makes the
expense fall equi'ably upon the. resident
and the nonresident. upon this people
and upon those TO come among us here
after. who are also 10 be equally benefit
ed with us by the road In short, the
responsibility is with the people of the
Counties If they now rote tie Bonds,
to be used after the Road is built through

secure the Rail Road at a very early day.

couragement at all, and no road tcW be

ton fairly stated, and win be governed

sibility is upon them-and not longer
upon me. Truly, W
