The Texas convention has adopted an
ordinance chartering the New Orleans, No
bile and Chattanooga Railroad Company, and
comforting on it the powers of corporation
in Texas. The charter permits the company
to run railroad from any point on the line
between Texas and Louisiana, in the counties
of Orange or Newton to any point on the Rio
Grande, in the counties of Webb or Maverick;
also, to run another line from any point on
the Texas line, in Newton county to any point
on the line of New Mexico, in FL Paso county,
and thence to connect with any railroad, by
way of FL Paso to the Pacific, or to run from
said beginning point to any point on the
Northern or Western boundary of Texas to
connect with any line by way of Albuquerque
or Santa Fe to the Pacific; also to connect the
main lines by branches with any other rail-
roads, mines or manufactures in Texas; to
build and run steamboats, in connection with
their lines or branches, and to Use steam or
any other motive power.
The State is to indorse the bonds of the
company for s12,5 for each mile con-
structed, when forty miles of the main track are
completed, and twenty sections of land per
mile are granted for all completed within ten
years. The road is to be completed from the
State line to Houston within twenty-four
months, and is to pay three per cent. to the
State on its dividends. Other important privi-
leges are granted to the company. Now let
us see whether all the efforts of this company
are to be devoted to the acquisition of privi-
leges, or whether they really intend to con-
summate their gigantic enterprise.
