Mr. MOORE of Carteret, hoped the resolu-

would be raised without delay.

to resolve itself into Board of Directors to
manage railroads Freight and passengers
were free to take what route they chose.

sengers to go upon any route they did wish
to, but certain arrangements had been made

in which the State was interested now laid
over in Raleigh and was sent on the Raleigh
6 CASTOR Railroad for the profit OF private
parties, and to heinjury of the State. This
