IS ANY MONEY DUE THE RAILROAD COM
PASY FROM THE STATE.
lfessrs. Editors. u By your paper Of yes
terday il appears that Mr.. Watson, of the
State Senate, offered a Joint resolution
directing the State Treasurer to pay 10 the
Junction end Breakwater Railroad the
amount of interest they have oyerraid.
What does this meant Is II all right
Let me give you a sketch Of the matter rs
It stands on record The State Treasurer
in his report, and the Governor in his
message of 1871, stated to the Legislature
that the Il b. Rallioad owed the State,
a certain sum the officers of the RAILROAD
company said the State Treasurer and
Governor were wrong In their statement,
that the claim Of the State was too large.
The matter was brought before the Legls-
lature, and by II referred to committee,
this committee not having confidence In
their arithmetlcal skill, employed an attor
ney to solve thequest.On, and by his advice
made a report that the state Urea urel
was correct In his statement, which report
was adopted, and the Company paid tb'
whole amount into the State Treasury
but at the next term Of the Superior Cour
for Sussex County, brought suit against
the Slate Treasurer for the amount claim
ed TO have been overpaid. Now, although
nearly two years have elapsed the salt
has not been further prosecuted. If Ih'
claim Of the company was valid why not
have prosecuted the suit and had it ju
dleially decided
The claim Of the Railroad Compan
may be inst and equitable, but in thes
DAYS of Railroads and Credit Mobilier
the Legislature should be cautious abou
oyerturuing the decision Of their predece'
sors in this matter, aud this Inquiry Woul
be pertinent, to wit: What members c

Your ward politicians know what will be
the result of this gerrymandering, and
the public generally will readily perceive
that il is TO be doue for political effect end
not for convenience, as Its friends claim.
Dr.Lesley has informed your correspondent
that he Is not the author Of this Infamous
measure, and that he will vote against II
unless Il Is proven to be for the benedt of
the public, and not In tho interest Of the

There was introduced into the Senate
to-day bill Of considerable Importance
In Its financial relations. The general
nature of the bill Is TO provide that the
State Treasurer Is to subscribe 100000
each TO the Farmers Bank and It's several
branches, and TO the Bank of Smyrna.
The bonds Of the State 10 be issued In pay
ment for stock In the several Banks at
their market value, said bonds to be made
payable 10 from ten to twenty five years,
and the Banks to agree TO pay the interest
on the bonds. This measure Is advocated
by some of the wealthlest men and
shrewdest finaneiers in the lower counties
for these, amongst other reasons That
the national government, by taxing State
banl, circulation, has caused Il withdrawal
of some 500 900 of currency ia these
counties, thereby contributing largely TO
the scarcity Of money and the consequent
depreciation In the market value of real
estate that this measure of finance will
enable the Banks to relieve the necessities
Of the farmers, and will afford Increased
security 70 the permanent loans which
they now have out that II Is a perfectly
safe operation on the part of the State as
well as safe and profitable on the part Of
the Banks, as they will make Indifference
| between discount and interest, and In r .
! loluing the same moneys which would
RETAIN to their vaults by depositors aud,
| besides that, as the State is slx-enths
owner OF the stock of the Farmers Bank,
