others, we find the report of the
Legislative Committee appointed
to examine into the affairs and
condition of the Mineral Home
Railroad. This is a graver and
more glsring case of stealing than
even the SACRED" school fund.-
The Road was chartered to run
from johnson county, East Tenn,
to a mountainous point, 5000
feet high, in North Carolina
"from no where to no where" -
767 shares of $25 each had been
subscribed for the construction,
but only 81 per share was ever
collected. No engineer to survey
the route was ever employed, moi
even a preliminary survey wai
made, not a shovelful of dirt wa
ever excavated, not a meeting OF
the board of directors has beer
held since it organized; neverthe
less, the President went to Nash
vile and Gov. Senter, tits believes
with a full knowledge of thes'
facts, issued 10 him State bond
to the amount of 500, 900, whiel
were sold for 43 cents in the dollar
and now, one of the managers Of

Brownlow's legacies.
