convicts can be secured for the use of

Col. Fuikcrson moved to amend
further by urgently requesting the
Bristol Board OF Aldermen TO exert
themselves to see that the individuals
of that town should subscribe a like
sum.
After brief discussion the amend
ments were adopted.
Mr.. l. c. Fowler seconded the reso-
lutions and urged their adoption
lie denounced as q baseless SANDER
the report that he was opposed to the
enterprise, and declared that the
charge amounted to one of duplicitv
and hypocricy on his part, as he had
earnestly and persistentiy advocated
the measure in every issue of the Ne,Os
since the passage Of the bill. He then
read a number of letters from Gov.
Kemper and other prominent persons,
including the Receivers Of the A. NJ.
and 0. r.. r., showing, that aside
from blowing the enterprise in the
Netos, he had been quietly working
for nearly a month in behalf of it,
and this while he was being maligned
10y some who had been busy doing
nothing else. He gave estimates,
made by some of the ablest railroad
men in the State, showing that steel
rails for the n. G. r. r. would weigh
% pounds to the yard. against 60 on
broad guaged roads, that the steel rail
would cost from 50 200 to 80, 800 per
mile, only $500 per mile more than
the iron rail would cost that the en-
tire cost of grading, ironing and
stocking the road would be only
81 600 per mile, of which the convict
labor would represent one-half; that
the steel rail will last thirty years as
against ten for the iron, and that the
road can he made to q grade of 12O
feet'per mile, He urged everybody to
vote for the subscription.
Mr.. d. f. Bailey was then called
and announced that he was in favor
of The road, and proceeded to give, in
some detail, his views OF var GUS feau-
lures OF the charter. He thought the
Bill was unconstitutional in that it
required the Governor to furnish con-
victs at the expense of the State. He
also thought the Bill interfered with
the vested rights of the bond-bolders
of the A. NJ. g. o. Conn any, who hold
mortgage on the entire line from
Norfolk to Cumberland Gap. He ho-
ped, however. that these difficulties
could be remedied hereafter, aud was
in favor of an organization, under the
present Bill.
A number Of others who were enX-
ious to speak were present, but The
lateness of the hour prevented.
The resolutions as amended were
adopted without q dissenting voice,
aud the meeting adjourned.
