CHATTANOOGA, j an 26.-The Chattanooga
Times contains a report of an interview with j
Z. Stanton. genera superintendent of the Ala
bama and Chattanooga railroad. He saws the
reason the January interest was not paid by his
road on bonds endorsed By the State of Ala
hama, was that il might be ascertained If the
present administration Of Alabama would re-
cogDize the validity of bonds issued by
the last legislature in aid OF railroads. He was
offered all the money he needed il he could OBJ
tain from Gov. Lindsay q promise to RECON-
meud the present legislature to acknowledge
the bonds or agree TO extend the time; but the
Governor positively refused 10 do either. Mr.
Stanton says he has provided money TO pay all
the floating debt and complete the road. which
now lacks only forty miles, in forty days from
date. He will then pay the interest on his
bonds, and will ask no more endorsement from
the State OF Alabama.
