WHEREAS, The city of Watertown, trusting
to the promises and engagements of certain
Railroad Companies to indemnify and save it
harmless, loaned its credit and issued its cor
porate bonds in aid Of said roads to a large
amount beyond its ability to pay, and
Whereas, Said Railro ad Companies failed to
meet their engagements and thereby cast upon
the city the burden Of paying said bonds !;
therefore,
Resolved, That this city is not disposed to
repudiate said bonds but is willing and desir-
Gus to pay what is equitable on q fair an i Just
compromise.
off fo Il ela
olution by adding after the word ''bonds" save
and excepting the ) 80 900 issued to the Mil
waubee & Watertown Railroad Company.
Pending the vote on this amendment, an an

ted N by Messrs. P. Rogan, T. Prentiss J.
Richards, B, 0 Byrne W. NJ. Dennis, T. Moore,
D. Jones, A Peterson, J. Linden and W. II.
Clark.
During the debate, by request, letter was
read from Howard Bros, of New York, and
also an ordinance passed by the Common Coun-
Gil of the city of Watertown on July Both ;,
1853, ordering the issuing of bonds to the
Milwaukee i Watertown Railroad Company.
The question on the amendment offered by T.
Moore being called for and put, the amendment
was lost The first resolution was then voted
upon and lost.
The question then occurred upon the second
resolution which reads as follows
Resolved, That we approve of the plan Of
private individuals organizing or uniting to-
gether for the purpose Of raising funds to pur
chase said bonds at fair rates and holding tn EN-
till the city can take them up at their cost with
interest and necessary expenses.
Mr.. Prentiss made few remarks, and offer
ed to the meeting in exp lanation of the objects
of the resolution, the following paper which
was read by the chair:

We devote considerable space this week
to somewhat lengthy account of the proceed
ings of meeting held in Coles Hall, Mon1ay
night, to consider matters relating to our city
Indebtedness. While we most emphaticaly
Hvor the plan of onr citizens standing together
as one man to obtain justice, we cannot but
deprecate as unwise and impolitic anything
which looks towards the inauguration of mob
law. We believe there is a more peaceable So
luton for the difficulties under which we are
laboring.

to be inevitable. His physicians pronounced
his case incurable, when he commenced the use

no return of the disease has been unprecedented

his present weight is more than two hundred

Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten-

and the diseases which are usually complicated
with it, and the cures effected by his medicines
have been very numerous and truly wonder
full. DR.. Schenck makes professional visits to

For several days the rumor has been
current in Washington that the Presi-
dent was willing to meet Congress
more than half way" in a plan of re-
construction substantially embracing
the Constitutional Amendment and
other salutary measures. Nor have
these -rumors been unfounded. While

governments for the South, was under
on Saturday last, Mr.. Banks
arose aud asked for more time to de-
bate the bill, saying that if more time
we're given it was not improbable that
a plan Of reconstruction might be
agreed on to which the President would
assent This opinion received farther
confirmation from Mr. Raymond, who

says 1t was the negro troops that
whipped us-iRdirectly actiye-and if
we had not been such fools as to re-
fuse the aid of the negroes we should
have whipped the Yankees" Here
is testimony of the strongest kind,
from the Democratic SIDE, bearing
equally against those who deny that
the colored race did any important
service in the suppression of the re-
bellion. and those who are unwilling
to admit that the steadfast loyalty and
unhesitating sacrifices of that race
were of sufficient merit to have deserv-
ed for it the right of franchise. Here

few loyal men who do not believe the
same thing) that had the negroes en-
listed in the rebel armies, instead of
our own, they would have turned the
scale against US, and the destruction
of our government and overthrow of
our liberties would have been assured.
To our very bondsmen then, we are,
in a great measure, indebted to-day
for our freedom, our Union and our
peace +! And yet we affect to despise
them, declare them ignorant" too
low" to exercise the rights of free
men Still we permit Copperheads,
peace" men and even deserters to ex-
ereise those rights This is mon
strous injustice which will bring its
curse upon US if we do not rectify it.
The very least we can do for the black
patriots who fought under the old
flag while hosts of intelligent" white
rebels fought or oonspired against it, is
to put the ballot in their hands and
elothe them with equal rights of citi-
zenship.

ment of a select committee Nh Ste
vens chairman, to report a bill provl-
ding for the protection of life and the
preservation of peace, temporarily, in
the States lately IN rebellion, and also
for the speedy admission Of these States
into the Union on the basis Of the con
stitudoDal amendments adopted at the
last session of Congress, and sueh ad-
ditional provisions as the committee
might deem expedient." He believed
the plan thus devised might secure the
support of Congress and receive the
approval of the Executive.
tt seems also to be generally under
stood that the plan proposed by Mr..
Banks, and advocated by him on Mon
day, IS such an one as Mr.. johnson
would approve of. Since the plan pro
posed by the New Orleans Riot In
vestigation and passed by the House
on Tuesday, is very similar to that Of
Mr.. Banks, it would seem quite prob
able that Mr.. johnson viii give his as
sent to It aud unite with Congress in
carrying it out. Such aconsummation
IS 'devoutly to be wished not because
President johnson Is personally Of
sufficient importance to be considered
a valuable acquisition to the ReDub-
lican side of the question, but because
, ,,,,o-,,-~er,.o Of Coorrasz and fbe
Executive would be likely to lead to
a speedy settlement Of the difficulties
which now embarrass our national
politics. Whether such a fortunate
result viii be achieved remains to be
seen.
