House Of Representatives, ON Jan q in
which after congratulating the Legis-
lature upon the general good order and
social tranquility which prevail through
out the State he proceeds without
gloves to handle the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad - a.. '1 lLDJc&--- 2
ALABAMA & CHATTANOOGA R. R.
On the oath Of December last, tele-
gram reached me from New York, and
signed u. c. Stanton" informing me,
that he was making arrangements to meet
the interest due from the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad Company. This
intelligence was gratifying. Reports and
rumors, however, soon followed, that the
Company had failed to provide for the
payment of its interest; which rumors
were confirmed by a dispatch received
from Henry Clews & Co. .t,.-;-r,
y* i. ~ - r,,ia
Alabama had endorsed with o liberal
hand the bonds of the Alabama & Chat
tanooga Railroad Company, and as the
principals in the contract, it devolved up
on them as q solemn duty to save the en-
dorser from the liability as well as the f.
nancial disgrace sure to attach to her
name by the default of q corporation she
had to great extent entrusted with her
credit, and the devolopen.ent Of her ma
terial wealth. still continued to cherish
an anxious hope that the interest would
be paid but l have hoped in vain, and
the interest due on the endorsed bonds of
the. Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad, as
well as that due on the two million bonds
of the State loaned that Company, stand
to-day under protest in the financial
world. m.l .'r'iI5'D III
From information not at all definite,
in its character, I surmise that the en-
dorsed bonds Of this company amount to
between four and five millions which
added to the two million of State bonds,
make All aggregate liability of the Senate
for at least six millions of dollars, and
upwards. The interest on the endorsed
bonds is payable by the State in curren-
CIV, the interest on the two million bonds
in gold Five hundred thousand dollars
must therefore be annually provided for
by the State to pay this interest. if she
recognizes the validity of the debt and
assumes its payment. This is the States
liability for one Railroad company alone.
Unexpectedly this embarrassment has
befallen the State. Without expectation
or warning she is called upon to res
pond to this heavy Indebtedness, and she
is not prepared to meet it. Ignorant Of
the amounts charged against her in the
commercial World, without a record of
her liabilities in the archives Of her own
Government, she is suddenly placarded
throughout Christendom as defaulter,
a recreant to her fame and faithless to
her pledges. srs, aa.rta.

The Senate has passed Senator Edmund's bill
to increase PENSIONS and the House will probably
do the same The bill adds twenty-five per cent,
to the pensions of soldiers and sailors, and of the
widows and children of deceased soldiers and
sailors, involving an additional expenditure Of
over S5OOO,OOO year. IL the increase should
cease after five years the bill would take about
$50, 100000 from the Treasury, hut if it should
be continued during the lifetime Of the pensioners,
as is probable in case it is once passed. 500 OO0
ooo would not cover the cost.
