Annual LIoeting Of Stockholders z. 7


On Thursday last the Stockholders of
the East Tennessee and Virginia II. Il.
held their Annual meeting at their office
in Knoxville.
The important question, says the Wing,
that came up for consideration and action,
was the proposed consolidation of the East
Tennessee and Virginia and East Tcnncs-
see and Georgia Railroads.
BY the provision of an act Of the Leg
i~slature, two or more roads were empow-
cred to consolidate, by the action Of the
Stockholders thereof. The interest on the
debt of the Railroad Company, as we'll as
the sinking fund amounting to one thous-
and dollars in round numbers, falls due in
January next, and owing to the financial
embarrassments, under which the road la
bors, this demand on its exchoquor cannot
be met.
This difficulty was laid before the meet
ing in a plain and lucid manner by Col.
Galloway, President of the Road, who sug-
gested the consolidation of the two roads
as a remedy for the evil.
\ series Of resolutions were then present.
ed and adopted, the substance of which is
in brief, as follows:
The two roads to be consolidated under
one management, the President of the East
Tennessee and Virginia, to remain in office,
MS President of the consolidated road until
September, 1870. A committee of three,
from the East Tennessee and Virginia
| Railroad, to meet a like committee from
the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad,
to determine the relative value of stock of
the two roads, and to settle the same, cqui-
tally on a common basis. First mortgage
bonds ofthe Company, which is to bestyled
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company, to be issued, so as to
establish the credit of the road.
We doubt not but that the project will
meet with complete success, and that a flu
ture of financial prosperity is in store for
the new company. This proposition is to
be submitted to the other road, and upon
its acceptance decentralization is to 90
into effect.
The grosa earnings Of the road for the
fiscal year were $537,737 "a. Expenccs
during the year, $342,4sl S., Leaving
a balance of $l05,255 Sc over expences,
to pay interest on State bonds, etc.
Col Galloway stated the Importance. and
necessity of donblo daily trains on the en-
tire line from New Orleans to New York.
lie had urged this proposition of double
daily trains upon the connecting roads.
The ignoring of this proposition accounted
for the decrease in passenger receipts,
which should have been very much ~increas-
ed.

THE ENTERPRISE.
wEETwATER, THURSDAY, DEC. 2, i869,
The Governors

We publish in another column the proc
l.mation Of Governor Senter, ordering an
election to be held on the 3rd Saturday in
this month, for the purpose of voting for
or against a Convention.
We have used our utmost eudeavOrs to
induce the Conservatives of our county to
take some steps in regard to who should be
eur delegate to the Convention, but, it
secms they have done nothing. The time
ia short, and if we intend to be represent
oil in the Convention, let us go to work,
snd work in good eafnest-und bring out
a man who will meet the emergency.
II will be remembered that in our last
issue we made a call, by request, upon the
Conservatives to meet at jacksonville on
Monday next, which is the day for the sit
ting of the county Court, for the purpose
of making the nomination. Now, as the
time for the election is so near at hand.
Let every man, who feels interested in the
welfare and prosperity of the county and
State, who can possibly attend, be Their,
on that day, and take Il part in the soloc-
ton of a candidate to represent us 10 tho
Convention. Whatever he may be, he
should have, not only a good record, but
should be a man Of calmuess and ability,
Of moderate and liberal views-a man who
will not, in any way, be influenced by pas
sion or prejudice.
Then, rally on Monday next, and let us
not be behind our interest. We shall
make no suggestion as to who should be
the man, but will leave it to the people to
make the nomination, believing that they
will act with good judgment, and place be-
fore the voters of the county a man of
ability, and one who is eminently capable
Of filling this most responsible position,
With honor to his county and State. There
will be work to do in the Convention, and
we must have a man who, when he takes
upon himself tho high and honorable posi-
ton of assisting in framing, altering or
cmending our State Constitution, knows
what is best for our interest and condition,
and will act wisely in all the deliberations
of the Convention.
We again urge upon the Conservatives
tho Importance of being present at Madi.
Sonville, at the time stated.

Unfair Discrimination.
Dear Enterprise i:

Heuf GHteTpTtSG'
In the proceedings of our legislature on yestcr-
G'y, as reported in this mornings papers, | no
tice the following:
Hall introduced q resolution to maintain
the common schools by making marriage Ii
ecnscs ten dollars"
"Walker introduced O bill on behalf of the
mediterranean and Oriental Steam Navigation
company of New York and to encourage foreign
immigration. eft authorizes any company in
the State to subscribe stock in the company, and
gives the company power to purchase lands in
Tennessee. at also provides that for every able
bodied immigrant brought into the State by the
company, not paupers, and who shall reside
within the State for one year, the company shall
receive S25, from the State"
Lot first attributed my failure to appreciate
the wisdom of these kindred measures for the
encouragement of one mode of introducing sim
migrants and the encouragement of another
mode to tho very decided partially for the sold
cay" which l still entertain, Notwithstanding
our g~elOriouS experience with father Bokum.
But meeting old Mr.. Simpkins my view Of the
case received some encouragement.
Said he:
"Me and my old 'oman have brought hir-
teen Of 'em into the State, as good ones as any
that these New Workers can bring, be they Chi
namcn, Hottentots or what not but we have
never received a red cent for one of EN-
lie went on to say
"My, son Bill, the preacher, will return to
the State if they will protect him from the mob
hhen he goes to preach; and the twenty three men
that moved to the West from my neighborhood
;ais fall, would not have gone if the legislature
had given them twenty five dollars q piece to help
support their families during the scarcity.
''This legislator will be a encourdJin' blun5ug,
list like the radicals, if they go to payin sioh
bills"
After hearing the views Of my venerable friend,
Simpkins, | came to the conclusion that my first
Impressions on the subject, were, perhaps, right.
W.
P.S.-The old gentleman, CIr. Simpkins,) in
his conversation with me, said
''Aly gal Pol SEE she is not a goin for to iii
