RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The Senate has had an interesting
debateto,day Saturday, upon the
bill introduced by sena tor Smith, Of
Ramsey, which is designed to 50
amend the general Incorporation law
as to clearly allow the purchasers Of
railroads under mortgage foreclosures
being organized under the general
law, to succeed to all the rights and
franchises covered by the mortgages.
The merits and purposes Of the meas.
ure were clearly presented by Senator
Smith, following which Messrs. Wiki
inson and, Donnelly assailed the bill,
the former arguing that it was design.
ed to "heeze ont" the small bond
holders, and give to combinations Of
majorities ofsmortgage creditors al
the security of the whole.
One of the best efforts Of, the ses-
sion was the reply Of Senator K. Mel.
son, Of Douglas county, whI declar-
ed that the purpose was to renew the
railway enterprises of the State en-
abling the creditors to 60 on with the
works which the bankrupt companies
could not continue. He showed that
the bill expressly protected all the
bondholders and also the employees Of
the companies, and ably demonstrate
ed that to tax the land grants so
long as they remained with the
owners, operators and builders of
the roads, whether the original COM
panies or the successors, would be un-
just and would seriously embarrase if
it did net prevent completion of the
railway system of the State. In con-
clusion he made an eloquent and ef
fective appea1'on behalf Of the peo-
pie Of his district and the northern
part Of the State, that the Legislature
would not deny them the privilege Of
hoping for completion of the railways
they had waited for 10 long.
The bill was amended in unimpor-
tant particulars only, and was recon-
mended for passage by a decided ma
jority. 1t icspplicable to the situa-
ton ofthe Lake Superior & MISSISSIPPI

Gus opposition to it is presumed to
come from parties interested in the

posed to the arrangement sought to
