\ SESSION.

The chairman called the meeting to or.
der at 7:45. Mr.. President Thompson said
thst Msior Wicks had the floor, and that
the question was on the adoption Of the
lease and it's proposed amendment. Ma
Jor Wicks then spoke substantially as
follows:
Ia reply 70 Judge Houston's principal
remarks, more particularly in reference
to mis- remarks upon the point OF why we
should give away so valuable a PROPERTY
Il Is necessary for one to go back to the
day of the surrender; then I wiz give the
reasons why this immense expenditure
should affset this lease. This road, at the
close of the war, was rebuilt by Colonel
Tate, using almost anything he could
most readily get, or the best he could to
rsstock the road. He had to give to the
Union $4,000 each for old engines, and
used old material, but he was compelled
to have it; he could not walt. The Board
knsw this; hencs, when four or five years
rolled over, the work made of this
old material was done and had to be re-
placed. The question then arose-shRll
we renew the old material with work
that viii rot In less than i've years, or
shall we spend treble the money for re-
In Iron work that win stand more
than treble the time. In the fiscal year
ending June, 1870, We begant0 feel the APP
Of new erR, and that we would

THE on QUESTION:.

When they found the Railway Security
company would not take these rosds, Il
being IS 1t were a bone Of contention in
the contract, it became the duty OF the
directors to look round and see what could
be done. BE had always q good opinion of
this line, both as q through connection to
Cincinnati and for its local advantages.
Msjor Wtcks then gave some psrticu-
lars of the reliability of the parties cfsr-
ing TO lease these branch roads, He
showed that the gentleman connect
ed with that proposition were relis-
Bile. Mr.. Tanner was for many years
chief Of the Tredegar iron works IN
Richmond Virginia, and is now con.
nected with q large railroad supply
establishment In New York. Hs is also
president of the Opelika and Montgomery
railroad in Alabama. Having found the
iron mai 1t became necessary to ind an
oil man, who would put in his energy
snd capital into the speculation of
developing the promising oil coun-
try through which the road is to
run. They found Logan q Bros, OF
Pennsylvania, q very reliable firm. They
knew If they could develops the oil re
sources Of the country along that road
1t would soon become sell sustaining.
These promised 70 put three hundred
Thousand dollars to develope the oil re-
sources Of the country. / represent the
interest of the other side of this PROPOSE
ton. They will put in three engines on
the road aud sink wells, investing their
money to the amount of three hundred
Thousand dollars, GUd II they succeed the
road viii boone of the best in the country.
In Overton country immediately alter the
wal hVe wells were sunk, one OF them
ran out three thousand barrel psr day,
but being sixty miles from q railroad that
Yalushle sTtiole could not be marketed.
The oil is worth four dollars per barrel at
the well. and without railroads The value
OF the oil would be eaten up by the cost
OF transportation.
THE NATURE or ri PROPOSITION TO BE
VOTED ON.
Mr.. B~rsdley-n I understand the us.
ture Of the proposition before tbs cOnven-
1t Is whether we shall vote to ratify |
the contract betweFn the cmpan and
the Railway Security company.
The chairman stated that the only Quss-
ton before the houBs vas the acceptsuce
rejection OF the agreement between the |
n the Railway Security COM
pany upon the amendments which Che |
previous convention had attached to the /
original contract. Th5 original contract
hso been ratified by = vote of the couyep-
ton, and thS only matter left TO decide 1
upon was the agreement entered into by
the directors n the Railway Security
company upon the smendmentt he1 60,
&c Houston said this was not 8 legis-
lattye body, nor was the matter under
consideration in the nature of a leeisls-
tive enactment. It was q contract which
not yet fulfilled, not yet completed,
and the whole question, an the points In
The instrument, were still before the
house,
The chsir said 1t was ready to admit that
he whole contract was rejected by the
lo-n-acceptsnce OF s particular part. It
nay be considered unfinished, and may
