CHANCE FOR COMPROMISE.
DR.. Anderson offered the following:
! Whereas the establishment OF day line
between Washington and Richmond has
removed one OF the difficulties which the
restoration OF the boat line on the Potomac
was designed to effect; and whereas, in the
opinion OF some OF our stockholders, the
want OF satisfactory guarantees for faith
ful cooperation with this company on the
part Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny is the only remaining obstacle to 4 solu-
ton OF the difficulty; therefore
! /. Resolved, That committee Of three
stockholders be appointed by the Chair 10
| cooperate with tie president OF this COM
pany in securing from the president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company such guar
antees rs to them may be satisfactory.

Of the resolution Of Or. Anderson. He an
peacd 10 Mr. BiddIe. Said he: II do
earnestly beg Mr. EiGdlc-and though he
represents stock that ought 10 represent
20 accept this substitute. II have made
an error az to the sufcicncy Ct the euaran-

would follow the Reinstatement OF tie boats.
1t meant war in business and in the Legis-

OF 4 railroad more helpless than the road
from Quantico 10 Washington. Talk about
guarantees and contracts-wliy that road is
completely in the hands Of this. 1t cannot
run without this. Ii there should be any
trouble the running OF the boat for one
week would bring them to terms.
THE ENGLISH STOCKHOLDERS.

delphia gentlemen would not listen to the
able speech OF Major Leigh Il. Page they
would not listen to :eaSon could Henry Clay
Or Daniel Webster come here 10 talk with

would jump OIL The next steamer, 90 20 Eu-
rope, and bay cnouGh there to give him the
control in this company.
