To the Unbeliev1ng Senator Hollo'
way and the Potter Law.

Those who on caucus day could
not or would not believe that Sena-
tor Holloway voted for the passage
of the Potter act-the present rail-
road law-would do well to read the
following statement made by Mr..
Holloway himself:
EDITOR HERALD AS there have
been some incorrect statements made
regarding my vote on the law
known as the Potter Law, please
permit me to explain.
Senator Potter introduced Bill
No. 1872 Senate, but under that num-
Der it never became the law it was
passed by the Senate but failed in
the House. The select committee of
the Assembly introduced Bill No.
466 A, covering the same ground
with entirely different provisions. 1t
passed the Assembly, was received
by the Senate, March I'd, and referred
to general file. On March 18th the
Senate went into committee OF the
whole on said bill, No. 466 A, when
it was moved to strike out all
after the enaeting clause and insert
the Potter Bill as amended and was
carried. On page 518 of Senate
Journal you will find the votes on
the passage of the Bill-nay vote IN
the Affirmative The bill was return
ed (see pages SCI and 562) by the
Assembly with Inconvenience in
the Senate amendments. On motion
of Senator Bleekman the Senate
amended it's amendment and as so
amended it become the law known
as the Potter Law, and it retained
its original number 466, until signed
by the Governor. Bill 1872 Senate
never became q law, but as the
amendments to 466 were taken from
that bill it was given the name of
the Potter Bill and has thus misled
many in regard to the vote on that
important law.
J. q. HOLLOWAY.

this is a prominent feature, it is really
unfortunate that such fine elevated
building lot as the one opposite the

demands for clay. This lot is capable

the railroads reply in exactly the
same language and same truth, 1--WE
can have no interest in injuring the.
people; Heecaa't live without the
people we can only prosper 10 their
prpsperityT Indeed, Senator Young,
Ryou and we and the people and The
corporations and the world in gener-
al would be governed by a broad and
and enl' ghtened view of self interest,
all sin and wrong would be banish
from the earth, and we should have
The millennium staring us in the face.
The people cannot be as deeply ia
terested in the profits Of railroads rs
the stockholders themselves, nor the
latter so favorable to low rates as the
people. There is clear antagonism
of self interest which will embrol
the legislature in perpetual strife
with the corporation, year after year.
We believe the only satisfactory
solution must be in court of law,
adjusting the dispute in the usual
way. And finally, we have always
thought that there was this difference
between the oft quoted grist. mill
and railroad. The owner of a mill
may stop running if the tolls allowed
by law are not sufficient. Required
to run, it should be allowed such q
tariff as will enable it 10 run. 1t
should be allowed in court of law
to show what rates are sufficient to
enable it to do what the law requires.
Should a railroad company refuse to
operate It's road under freight
schedule found just and sufficient on
fair trial before a court, we should
say the State, or some company or
ganized by the State, should take
possession of the property and run it,
paying to the former owners a fair
compensation. This is what tho
Congressional Address means by
paying the owners for their road and
taking possession of it. The same
course is advised in many Granger
resolutions. Our readers now have
Senator Young's ideas as well as our
own in full. Let them Judge between

Resolp<d, That we entirely disagree with
the sentiments enunciated by the National
Republican Central Committee, in which
they take The grounds that States should not
control railroads and other corporations, but
we believe that such control is indispensable
to the spfety of the people.
Resolued, In the opinion of this meeting
that Congress having the right TO coin money

with safe, cheap and reliable currency for
the wants of the people.
Resolved That the legal tender notes, better
known as greenback, have been the best
measure of exchange for domestic values that
has ever been employed in the business trans
&C lions Of the country.
Resolved, That to make greenbacks inter-
changeahle at the option of the holder, with
gold interest bearing bonds, bearing the low
est possible interest, would gradually and
surely float our foreign commerce and ex-
change, as we'll as hasten the conditions of
safety for early resumption of specie payment.
Resolye9, That national bank notes, though
good enough in themselves, are no better than
the legal tenders with which they are redeem
able, and are too costly In their use to pro-
mote the general welfare.
Resolued. That we consider The butchery of
our fellow citizens now going on in the south,
an outra ge, and disgrace to our country and
demand OF the government immediate action
looing toward its suppression.
Resolved, That the Cor. Sec. be Instructed
