THE RESOURCES LEFT.

THE RESOURCES LEFT.
What are the resources left to the COM
pany by the bill for meeting these lnevlta-
BILE demands? The lessees are to purchase
from the company, at sum to be fixed by
valuation, it's dredging-machines, picks,
spades, shovels, and other like implements
and personally. All the property thus pro-
vided, to be taken and paid for by the les
sees, is estimated by the only parties who
interested in obtaining the largest possible
price for it, at S22,T50 On every ground
1t is reasonable to believe that this valua-
ton is excessive; but for present purposes
let it be accepted as correct. The only other
resource left to the company by the bill for
meeting these demands is the privilege OF
using "such part of the proceeds Of the un-
used bonds Of their second mortgage as may
be necessary.'' The whole amount OF the
unused bonds is $129,G00, and the. utmost
that the most sanguine expect them TO
command for some time to come IS thirty
cents on the dollar-that Is to say, the COM
pany may realize from this source S3S, $3.50,
and no more. 1t is thus demonstrated
that all the resources allowed to remain
with the company cannot exceed the
| aggregate sum Of $61,630, while tue
overdue demands to be met Herewith
are S2O9,672. In other words, deficiency
of S148, ,O42 will remain wholly unprovIded
for, which the company is required to pay
after being stripped OF every conceivable
means whereWith to pay it. The bill itself
sounds warning to creditors holding over
due debt that the resources OF the company
are being diverted, and that their demands
will not and cannot be paid. 1t is in itself
proclamation announcing to the creditors
that the only remedy LETT them lies IN q de-
cree for foreclosure. 1 am authorltaGVely
informed, and the information is such as
makes it impossible to doubt, that If the bill
become law an association OF creditors rep.
resenting large amount OF the debt will
at once take proceedings to effect sale OF
the property as the only means OF protect
ing their rights.
In order to ascertain what definite policy
is best to be employed in resuscitating th's
struggling company it Is necessary to have
regard both to its ultimate objects and to its
present embarrassments. The important
question is, What policy is best calculated
to rescue the canal from threatened fore
closure, and at the same time to further It's
original and true design
MAGNITUDE OF THE CORPORATION.
The completion OF the water-linc to the
great Kanawha, as projected by Washing.
ton, has long been accepted as the traditional
policy of Virginia. My successive mes
sages have urged the eviews, to which l now
firmly adhere, in favor OF maintaining and
furthering that policy. The canal as now
operated Is 2193 miles in length. Its con-
struction has cost 10,4S6,S89. The capital
stock OF the company is $12, 400, 600. The
State is an owner OF the stock to the amount
OF S1O, ,400, 900, OF which the sum OF 81, 400
600 10 in preferred stock. The entire debt
Of the company Is 81. .399, ,408.93. No other
corporation Of the same magnitude exists

species. One of these unfortunates," loiter-
ing around the meat-house of Martin John

have fared much better il its natural propen-

rance of the odor of the locality, together
with the bones, &C., strewn thereabouts, nat
urally raised the expectation of the dog-n

had not been to Trenton. He has a wife and
one child. His business was flourishing and
he was in easy circumstances. 1t is said that
he fell when going to the station and was
