The motion to indefinitely postpone was

Mr.. McAillen, on an alphabetical call of
the roll, called up House bill No. 272,
entitled IAN act to release the State from
its obligation to guarantee the second
mortgage bonds of the New. Orleans. Mo-
bile and Chattanooga Railroad Company,
under an act of the General Assembly, ap-
proved February 81, 1870, by the subscrip-
ton, on the part Of the State, to the capital
stock of said corporation, and to regulate
the conditions of such subscription, and to
secure the construction of the road of said
port" which passed its second reading.
Mr.. McMillen During the last session of
the General Assembly, act No. 81 was
passed and became o law, authorizing the
Chattanooga Railroad Company to build q
branch road from some point on its line to
ShrevsPort,- and it was, granted certain
State aid-namely, the endorsement of it's
second mortgage bonds to the amount of
twelve thousand five hundred dollars per
mile. In the statement Of accounts that
the Auditor has recently made, the guaranty

to see MN ne does not know Wnefc ne can

of the district courts have their offices in
the different parishes, and if they perform
their duties properly, their papers are in
their Offices, and can be seen at all times.
There could be no difficulty in finding either
the clerk or the papers Of the police jury.
l venture to assert that you can 60 into any
of the parishes in the northern part of Lou
isiana, and nine times out of ten you can
not succeed in finding the clerk Of the police
jury, and if you are fortunate enough to
find him, his papers are generally scat
tered around in such q way that you can
not gain the information you seek.
police juries in places where they will be
safely kept, and where they can be found at
any time. There is another consideration
which, in my opinion, should have some
weight. At the last session Of the General
Assembly we reduced the fees of the clerks
of the district courts. and this will add
to their perquisites. Probably the police
juries will allow them less compensation
than they would to another party in view
OF the fact that they have other duties to
perform from which they collect fees. I
hope this section will be retained in the bill.
Mr.. Anderson: hope this section will
not be retained in the bill. think it
would be very bad law which would re-
qnire the clerk Of the district or parish
court to act as clerk Of the police jury Of his
parish. II would require the performance
Of too many duties at his hands. Another
objection is that the clerk of the district
court is the party that issues the warrants
on the parish treasurer for the services of
iurymen and witnesses in criminal cases.
and if be was also clerk of the police jury,
there would be no check whatever upon
him. As far as my own parish (St Landry
is concerned, you can always find the clerk
Of the police jury in his office, with AL his
records and papers. / think it highly

advancing t1elr money III the purchase OF
stock for the purpose Of aiding in the com
pletion of this road to Texas: and this bill
only asks that the State, which has more
interest in the completion of the road than
any private individual can possibly have,
shall put in her money for that purpose
and receive as an equivalent certain
property right in the capital stock of the
company. Now, so far as the question of
interest on the bonds is concerned, the
presumption is that after one or two years
two years at the utmOst-have elapsed, the
capital stock which the State will own will
repay her, in the shape of dividends, more
than the interest on her bonds will amount
to year by year. Until the road is entirely
completed, until these dividends begin to
come into the State treasury, the State
will, undoubtedly, be the loser to the
amount she will have paid up to that time;
but it is simple subscription to the stock
Of the company. 1t does not change the
amount of the State debt, because regard
a party who places his name upon the note
of another as much a debtor as he who
signs as principal and l believe that the
courts Of the State will ultimately deter
mine that this eventual debt" Of ours, as
it, is called by the Auditor, is as much
a, part of the State debt as the real
debt itself. believe that the State
debt has reached its constitutional
limit already, and that any action of the
General Assembly tending to increase it
will be declared null and void. In the COM
putation which has been made in order to
ascertain the amount of the debt OF the
State we find an item charged against the
Chattanooga railroad company for the in
dorsement, by the State, Of their second
mortgage bonds on their branch railroad.
We find an item Of two million five hun
dred thousand dollars as liability of the
State for indorsing their second mortgage
bonds ON the branch road from here to
Baton Rouge; and this bill simply proposes
to release the State from that obligation by
authorizing. her to subscribe to the capital
stock of the company to that amount,
thereby making the aid which the State

Wnat mas Deen our experience IN relation TO
railroad stock subscribed for by the State !!
In every case-in the cases Of the Jackson
railroad, the Mexican Gulf railroad, and
the Opelousas railroad-the State has been
loser, and the other parties game rs in the
end.
Now, in answer to the assertion that it is
only proposed in this bill to change the ma
ture OF the States Indebtedness, reply
that the mere Endorsement Of the companys
mortgage bonds does not make it debt of
Of the State. When indorse gentlemans
promissory note, do not become the debtor;
stand simply in the light of security. Ii
the drawer OF the note does not meet it ut
maturity, then l, as security. become re-
sponsible, and am obliged to pay it. But if
l subscribe in my own name to the stock of
any corporation, by which bind myself to
pay certain sum of money, then it is my
debt, and l am personally and primarily
responsible for it; and the State will occupy
exactly the same position toward the
Chattanooga Railroad Company if this
bill should pass and become law.
An Endorsement is one thing; the bind
ing OF the party to pay the debt is another
and a different thing. Now, ask, how can
we pass this bill when the constitutional
been exceeded! According to the official
report. the State debt is S22,56o, 233 80. Add
to that three million dollars which the State
has contracted to pay to the Chattanooga
Railroad Company; five hundred odd thou
sand to the North Louisiana and Texas Rail-
road Company, and the Mexican Gulf Ship
Canal Company one hundred and twenty
six thousand dollars, and you have total
of over twenty-six million dollars. con-
tend that this bill il unconstitutional,
because it creates a debt Of the
State when the constitutional limit
has already been reached. There can
be no question about that fact !;
sis as plain and clear proposition % could
be presented to the human mind; it is not

The destruction of human life with

which has occurred in years. Railroads

train and kills and wounds more per-
sons than were killed at the battle of

a steamer is blown to pieces and fifty
passengers pitched into eternity with
out warming Persons who are not
compelled to travel, will do well to re-
main at home until all the old boilers
are exploded and railroad engineers
guilty of criminal neglect are punish

to the cholera and yellow fever, which
appear to be in rear waiting to slay tie
people. Railroad collisions can al
ways be avoided, but the explosion of
of boilers cannot always be prevented.
The American people will, after
awhile, we think, take the time to
look into the causes of these fatal dis

cannot be devised to prev ent them
But they have not got the time to do
so now, and likely will not, until
few thousand more are killed, or man

tors are not exactly a success, and
life preservers made of cork are not
the best protectors. They prepare the
mind at the start for a disaster, and
the inspectors certificate is rs good as

country, and few verdicts of guilty
of murder would be worth all the
