9th. Because by the charter Of the Attain
tic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad Compa.
nv its revenues are pledged to the payment
Of the liens thereon by said charter author
ized-to wit: first mortgage Of S15, O0O,ovo
for purposes of discharging existing liens
and for repairs and extension, and second
mortgage for S4,000,000 for the benefit OF
the State, and this diversion of the revenues
of said company is in effect On application
of funds which should be used for the ben
eft of the State as second mortgages-thu
using the money Of the State to purchase
the State interest in the Richmond and Pe'
tersburg Railroad Company.
7th. Because the bill as it comes from the
House secures to the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio Railroad Company all the benefit
and privileges of trade and communication
to the fullest extent which it ought to have
and enjoy, and the only object said compa:
nv can have in obtaining the entire control
of the Richmond and Petersburg railroad
is to levy improper exactions and impose
unreasonable burdens upon coastWise trade
and travel.
9Th. Because the proposed sale in the
alienation to parties other than those
named in the amendment, at q price MOI
less that their unreasonable offer Of S2N
per share, shows conclusively that in the
alienation mentioned no sale shall be made
at all.
As to the second amendment proposed by
the committee, we consider the ohec'
sought by it already secured by the terms
of the bill as they are, and the effect OF any
amendment whatever will be (as before
stately to defeat the bill.
Respectfully submitted. &c.,
