Mr.. LAFLIN said no objection was made
to the bill by the friends of railroad meas
ures except from Mr.. Bowman, who thought
there might be probability that it made
an extra appropriation of two million dol
lars. He and his friends were since satisfied,
because the bill says "thc same amount of
bonds delivered by said Company to the
