ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS.

dering upon impatience but, for all this,
and at the risk of offending our neighbor
of the sun we are compelled to say that
| he is-well, at least COMPOUNDED stu pid.
Somebody ha, written for him certain
questions about the Cairo rnd st. LOUIS
railroad, and these he keeps before the
people, usking THE BULLETIN to answer,
iniimating that we cannot answe them.
Now, FOR the purpose of gratifying the
person or persons who induced the Sun
to ask the questions land being a preach.
or, the Sun man will not deny that he
has been insiigsted TO make the inter-
roga,oriesl, we will reply to them one by
one.
| Here is the Brst question:
Please tell the people, in case Alex auder
Union and other counties furnish all the
| money to build the Cairo and 81. Louis
railroad, except that raised by the sale of
the mortgage on the railroad itself, what
interest will these counties have ia the
railroad, and what interes. will Rowland
and associates have
The counties, we presume, will havs
| Just as much interest in the road as they
own stock. and Psvson & Co. If ,hev com.
plete the road. will have like interest.
Payson a. Co., will, of course, coa,rol the
road, because they will own the majority
of tho stock. Tho Sun man ought to
