appealed to the stockholders 10 knowif thes
would vote for Mr.. Burns as President wlier
he was President Of another road.
Hon. I'd. Ewing said he regarded this
question AZ one Of great public concern
not merely a question of dollars and cents
This law suit which is spoken Of is a mat
ter Of gravity and serious interest 10 all
What are the prospects for a prosecution
Of that law suit, if the Stevenson party
should get control of the road Suppose
Cole should be elected President, how
would he like to give evidence to continue
the prosecution of himself and friends
Would not Mr.. Bass, the fafher-in-law OF
Stevenson, be rather slack in the prosecu-
ton of his son-in-law? Would Mr. Fogg
be energetic in pushing the suit for fraud
against his brother-in-law and friend
Take il altogether, we cannot look to the
new board for a fall investigation of this
law suit.
Andrew johnson, whenever appealed to in
the interests Of the road, had prevented il
being turned over 10 the government, and
had manifested a disposition to allow its
claims against the United States govern
ment The government had paid rent for
buildings used during the war, and why
should not the use Of railroad property be
paid for. No appropriation had yet been
made, bat we should have an abiding faith
that twill some time set the matter right.
Whenever an attempt was made to take
the road ont of the hands Of the Burns
electors, it would be resisted, and the
Chancery Court would be resorted to if
necessary. He would say, in ali good feel
ing to his opponents, if they meant 10 try
to keep the road out Of the hands Of the
government, would they stand better
chance to accomplish it than the present
administrators.
They were all red-handed Rebels, and
some Of them had been blockade-runners
He had nothing, however, 20 urge against
them on that account for he himself had
been Rebel, but he only wanted to show
how little chance ssuch directory would
have of keeping the road out of the hands
Of the government. 1t would be useless to
bring here parcel of figures TO prove any
thing-it would take the time of a whole
canvass to do that; it would be idle and
foolish. Mr.. Burns is now ready, and has
always been ready, and has never attempted
to conceal anything that has been done
jeff French followed Mr.. Ewing in a
speech denunciatory of Joe Brown, of
Georgia, calling him political liar and
scoundrel, and renegade Rebel.
On motion, the chair then appointed the
following stockholders a committee of five
to represent the road in conference with
the government officer now in the city /:
Gev. Brown, Atlanta Z. A. Keeble, Muir
freesboro; Jeremiah Cleveland, Bedford
county; John P. King, Augusta, Ga !;
Henry Cobia, Charleston, S. G.
The convention then adjourned until
this morning at nine o'clock.
A discussion Of the question of the ad-
mission of the Charleston votes took place
last night between Major Willis, Judge
King, Gov. Brown, Hon. Ed. Ewing, and
Col. A. S. Colyar, resulting in the allow
ance of 159. Thirty-fve hundred votes
had been polled up to II o'clock last night,
and the result will doubtless be declared
to-day.
