made a speech, explanatory OF the
aims and operations of the credit
mobilier. It's origin was an Impossl-
bility Of getting money enough by the
sale of stock at par, as provided IN
the charter, and its business was to
furnish capital and take risk of sue
cess or failure. The price paid to the
credit mobilier did notmore than COM
pepsate for the use of its capital wheu
lis sole interest in the building OF
the road was offered at sixty dollars
for one hundred dollars cash actually
paid in. and without finding buyers.
Those who took stocks that were thus
deemed extraordinary risks of failure,
were. upon commercial principles, en-
titled to extra profits as the result of
success. 1t proved, however; that
though the chances have turned most
sipnally in their favor, they got only
about 10 or ID per cent. proht on the
amount Of business done, and had un-
| hesitatingly declined to engage In 9th
| er similar enterprises.
J. NJ. S. Williams, in some remarks
alluded to the action of James FISK,
| Jr. aud Judge Barnard, in New
York. saying that the company did
not object to a legal examination o.
their affairs before proper tribunal.
He also said it was expected that the
gross earnings for May would be sui
fcient to pay the July coupons on the
bonds, aud that it was the intention
of the company TO continue the roac
a first class one in all respects:
The meeting then adjourned TIL TO
morrow.
