THE LEAVENWoRTH,L LAWRENCE
A. GALVESTON RAILROAD.

Our readers will remember that when
the question of re-opening the L. i. K u.
Railroad was before the public about two
months ago, we gave our State officers, and
especially the Governor, credit Tor defend
ing and conserving the Interests OF the
State, and compelling the railroad compa-
nv to do its duty. Since the settlement Of
the question We have taken occasion, more
| than once, TO accord TO the Governor the
credit to which he seemed to be due for the
part he took in defending the States inter
est in this matter.
The TINES endeavors, at all times, and
| under all circumstances, to publish just
what is. true; it is liable, OF course, in
some cases, 10 fall into error, but ii never
hesItates to acknowledge its mistake as
| soon as discovered. And our statement in
regard to this l.. l.. & G. settlement was a
| mistake. The official records show that
there has been no, bona fde settlement such
as the State had right to demand
and such as we gave the State officers credit
4
for having secured, but simply a patched
up settlement, which is, at best, merely a
trick by which the railroad is enabled tt
evade It's du,s-. We have taken the trouble
to secure a certified copy OF the order o.
the Court, in the case, and find it to be a,
