REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.

The committee to whom was referred
the several reports made to the stock
holders by the President, the Chief En-
rineer and the Superintendent, ask leave
to submit the following report:
They have given these important doc
uments the most attentive and earnest
consideration, and they cordially recon-
mend the acceptance and approval of
them by the stockholders; and also the
immediate publication thereof as the best
means of drawing public attention
throughout The United States to this i'm
portant enterprise. 1t will be seen by
these reports that the unfinished work
hitherto done upon the line of road is in
an excellent state Of preservation, having
been originally most faithfully done, and
having suffered but little injury from the
lapse of time They will, consequently,
make it plain that the work already done,
having cost three millions aud half dol
lars in coin, and being now in good
state of preservation, constitutes, when
united to the cost of completion, an un-
doubted security under the mort gage, for
the bonds TO be now issued, limited in
amount as they will be to the sum ncccs-
sary to complete the work. And this in
dependenty of the State guarantee. In
these circumstances, and the bonds hav-
ing in addition tue Endorsement and guar
antec of the State, your committee are Of
opinion that no further time should be
lost, and that bids should at once be in
vited by public advertisement for the con
struction and completion of the entire
line of road from Walhalla to Knoxville,
so as TO bring every part Of this State
into early and direct communication by
railroad with all the great cities of the
Western valley.
The committee deem it their duty to
point out to the stockholders the energy
and zeal displayed by President Harrison
and Chief Engineer Low, in the services
of the company, and the very clear and
satisfactory character of the reports SUBJ
mitted by them; and to express to those
officers, on behalf of the stockholders,
tho sense that is entertained of their SER
vices.
In relation to those matters upon which
the stockholders are expected to instruct
these officers and the Board of Directors,
the committee have, for brevity, embraced
their views in the form of resolutions, as
hereto appended, and which they respect
fully submit as part of their report, and
recommend to the adoption of the meet
ing. Matters of minor consideration,
such as the roofing of the bridges with
metal, they propose to leave to the care
of the President and Board of Directors.
All of which is respectfully submitted as
the report of this committee.

Meeting of Stockholders of the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company in Sonth Carolina.
CHARLESTON, April s, 1869.

OIAhHEoIVIV, 3AP'rf .! 1O00'
The stockholders of the Blue idge
Railroad met in the Mayors office this
day. The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and confirmed.
The reports of the President, Chief
Engineer and Superintendent were sub
mitted respectively y by these officers.
On motion, the following committee
was appointed to consider these reports,
and submit report of their conclusions
tomorrow Geo. A. Trenholm, Henry
Gourdin, R. K Scott, Geo. S. Cameron
and u. w. Clark.
The meeting then adjourned.

nomical and effective organization made.
The salaries of officers should be fixed, and
some early arrangement made Tor pay
ment of arrears due former employees of
the company. -.
In connection with this, the board would
recommend the appointment or election
OF two directors, who, with the president,
should constitute an executive committee,
which committee should be charged with
the proper preparation and engraving
of the bonds Of the company, mort
gage, &c., to advertise for or receive
bids of proposals for work, and report
thereon when necessary, with such other
matters usually committed to such COM
mittees.
1t will be seen from the Chief Engin-
eer's report, that the most advantageous
sale or use of the present resources Oftho
company will not furnish tho means to
construct the entire line Of our road, and
hence the Importance and necessity for
increasing our capital, SO as to insure the
early completion of the work. Vigorous
measures should be adopted now, to OBJ
tain the long and justly expected aid from
the great cities of the West. AT no pre-
vious time has the public mind of these
cities, especially Cincinnati and Louisville,
been so thoroughly aroused and excited
upon this subject. Even now, the Board
of Trade of the former city is engaged in
special meetings, in considering the ways
and means to secure promptly and surely
this Southern connection by rail. We
should not lose this propitious opportuni-
ty to urge upon them the great advanta-
ges offered by our route, and the small
sum now required to accomplish their pur-
pose. The President has constantly, by
correspondence and newspaper articles,
done all in his power to convince our
Western friends OF the peculiar advanta-
ges offered them by our company, bnt he
needs the aid of the able aud influential
men of the board and of this city, in this
decisive effort, soon to be made.
The board would call the attention Of
the stockholders to the report of the Su-
perintendent, Mr.. GaiIlard. and the sug.
gestions there made. The company will
he prepared to resume the regular opera
tion of the road from Anderson to Wal
halla in very short time, but it is per-
haps the better policy to allow the Green
vile and Columbia Railroad Company to
use it until the 1st day of June, in the
that that company will make
such repairs us it is thought good faith re-
quires
The cash resources of the company
have been restricted 10 the sum of twenty
dollars advanced from tho Treasury ofthe
State in bills receivable. From this fund
all expenses have been met, and it will
enable us to repair the three engines and
necessary rolling stock, aud keep the en-
ginccr corps in the field as long as may
be necessary for the present rcsuming.
The company should, however, return
this fund to the Treasury as soon rs our
finances will admit. Respectfully sub
mitted. j. w. HARRISON,

REPORT OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT.

CHARLESTON, April 8, 1869.
ToJ W. Harrison, Esq, President Of
the Blue Ridge Railroad Company:
SIR-Since the last meeting OF the stock,
holders of this company, the Greenvillc
and Columbia Railroad have operated the
road with great regularity and success
but for want of sufficient amount Of pow
er, and the heavy amount of freight to
move, and the large increase of that
freight, they have not been able to make
such repairs on the road bed and ditching
which they should have done; but the
officials of the road have assured me that
they would use all their energies to put
the road in better condition before the
first of June.
The engine Fort Hill has been repaired
at the shops of the South Carolina Rail
read Company and is now on the road up
the country, and cost something over
$4,000.
Material has been purchased and ma
chinist has been employed to repair the
Chatuga, and will be put in good order at
a cost of about $500.
The other engine, the Blue Ridge, is
worse out of repair than either of the
others, having been burnt by raiders, and
the extent of the injury cannot be ascer'
tanned unless minutely examined al some
shop, and it is recommended to be sent to
some shop to be examined and repaired
The condition of the road is such that it
will require very nearly 1000 cross-ties to
the mile, which would put it in first rate
condition, as good as when newly LAID
and onc-half Of that amount, say 5OO to
the mile, would put it in excellent condl
ton.
would recommend that, owing to the
great difficulty of having repairs done to
the engines and cars, that the company
buy sufficient amount of machinery to
do our own repairs, and put them up on
seme point of the road now finished, cos
ting some $4,000 to $4,000; and would
also recommend that the company resume
the operation of the road by the first OF
June next.
1t is also recommended that something
be done to protect the bridges on the road
as the covering of some of them arc IN 6
bad condition, and they are injuring very
materially. Respectfully submitted

Superintendent.

Senator MOrton's Argument.

We give up much space this morn
ing to the able argument Of Senator
MORTON on the Law of Quorums.
For several years Indiana has been
ANNOYED and damaged by insubordi
nate Legislatures. The 6 breaking
Of a quorum has assumed a chronic
form, and the people look for it now
about as regularly as for the conven-
Ing of the Legislature. The clause
in the Constitution of the State desig
natiug two-thirds of the members of
each branch of the Legislature as
necessary to constitute quorum for
the transaction of business, has here
tofore been construed to mean two
thirds Of all the members to which
either branch of the Legislature is
entitled. Senator MORTON, it will be
seen, takes a different view, and sus-
tains his opinion with powerful argu
ment. We urge our readers to give
the Senator's discussion of the qaes-
ton candid reading.
We are gfatifed to know that this
vexed question of quorum breaking
is now in a fair way to be settled, and
permanently. The legality of the
passage of the Specific Appropriation
Bill will come before the Supreme
Court of our State for decision, and
the legality of the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment will be deter
mined by Secretary FISH, of Presi-
dent GRANTS Cabinet, or by Con
gress, to whom the matter may be
referred. 1t cannot be that both
these tribunals will decide that a
small minority of the people of oul
State can overthrow the Government
of the State. IF so, Congress does not
guarantee to Indiana a Republican
form q Government, which it is re-
quired to do under the Constitution
of the United States.
