Senator C0uch's De-
fenSe.


fenSe.
Senator Couch addressed the sen.
ate as follows: #
wish to call your attention To ar
article from the DUBUQUE Herald of
the 18th inst, i'm which am charged
with acts ii true, would render me
unworthy OF position on this floor.
In order chat theseuators may under
stand me, | VIII read portion OF
the article.
Lit processes to give the reason why
L am opposed to this measure; one
of which Is, that / have special
contract with the Illinois Central
railroad company, for the shipment
OF grain and flour from Waterloo to
eastern markets, at a much less rate
than is enjoyed 10y other shippers on
the same road.
deny any and all such statements,
aud brand them as false In all re-
spects, and am compelled to say that
III my opinion, the article was pre-.
pared aud published by those inter
ested I'm the bill, tn ALLEVIATE from me
the confidence of my constituents at
home and prejudice me in my place
i'm this senate.
You are aware that much has been
said i'm this senate respecting peti.
tions upon this subject, which have
been presented to the general assem-.
bly,, from points along the line OF
these roads, but shall conline my
! remarks almost exclusively to the
Illinois Central RAILROAD compapy,
for the reason that | reside on the
line OF that road, and am more con.
versant with the business connected
Herewith.
Before | came here TO take my
place IN this senate, L learned Incl
dentally that petitions were being
circuinted in our community, asking
some legislation for the regulation oil
freight tariffs, but | saw none, aud
not one of those who / represent,
asked me to support this measure on
any other. Further--I then under.
stood, and ] now believe, that those
petitions were prepared by citizens oi
Dubuque, perhaps by the gentleman
who has been here the greater por
tion of this winter, making thi,
ihNSSult bi'tSiuliNy, Anu WHO pro
posed this bill. aud seut IL into tn,
country for circulation and sigma
lures. They were taken 20 The cit,
OF Waterloo, and the citizens solicit
ed to sign, and think nearly all o
our merchants signed them. / hav,
looked over their petitions and in
my investigations in that regard,
came across among tho multitude n
the clerk's desk, roll abont as Iarg,
a. stove pipe, endorsed petitions
from Dubuque" and which upOr
examination, | discovered embraced
not only Dubuque, but also the town,
along the line of the read, WaterIo,
Included, and number of tht
names of the business men oi
that place were there found. Dur
ing the recess | made enquiries tend
ing to elicit expressions Of the views
and feelings of my constituents upon
this subject, and not one ex expressed t,
me Il desire TINT | should support this
measure, but on the contrary, upon
my writing to- them asking theil
views and desires on the subject.
received yesterday i'm reply, AN I'm,
strument signed by nearly every one
who signed the Dubuque petitions
and at least more than double tho
number of those who signed th,
original petition asking legislation
saying tn me that my course was
right and that l should be sustained
