ing of Boss Strong,
Mr. J. W.. Ellis advocated the passage
of the resolution, explaining the neces
sity to be that McQueen was unable to
secure the body;and thus comply with
the law. '"'- ''
Mr. Meriimon did not think the law
had been complied with, and any action
now taken would be an appropriation
ane not the paying of a reward.
ihe resolution passed its several read-
us. . -
Mr. Norwood introduced a memorial
from the Wilmington Commercial Bank,
claims against the State.
Referred.
jir. james l. JUorehead, a bill to
amend Chapter 283laws ot 1S68 '69. '
Ihe Special Qrder, being the consid
eration ol the Midland North Carolina
Railway, which is proposed to run from
Leautort to Memphis, was called up.
Mr. Love opposed the bill, as he
thought there were provisions asked for
therein that were too broad to be enter
tained. He was in favor of railroads,
he cared nof how many there were in
the tate, but he would not vote for a
bin that had no defiuite line.
Mr. Worth layored the granting of
the broad privileges, as the corporators
couiu then be better enabled to prose
cute tneir intentions.

He thought there was
nothing tangible in tho bill, and he did
not favor the Legislature giving corpo
rations the right to roam at will over
the State.
Mr. Gudger had no objoction to the
compauy building, its road lrom and to
any point they pleased,. provided no
appropriation froth the State was asked.
Mr. Troy offered an amendment
providing that this act shall not allow
the corporation to interlere, in its ex
clusive right for fifty ' years, with any
authority already vested in a ccrporatcd
railroad company. Adopted.
arious ame.ndo: ents were offered
looking to the location of thofoad
upon some definite Iinfr, creating muc'i
discussion, but could . not be made
intelligible without publishing the bill.
Mr. Dunham said he wai a friend to
internal improvements. He would .yield
to no other Senator in his advocacv of
all geneiahimpi()vemenl3 and in tho
development ot the rcsouixes of the
btate ButTie would not vote to any
corporate, body the powers asked for in
Lthis bill. The primary purpose of this
incorporation was to make money for
t lie incorporators any advantage to
tiie State or the people. of the State was
a secondary consideration. The
privileges here asked lor were unjust to"
the Slate, and such as should not be
granted to huv col notation. He r.onld
the bill its support, unless it
was more thoroughly guarded.
Mr. Merrimon endorsed every! hiuT
said by Mr. Dunham. He believed' the
object of this corporation was to buy
up ana ootam control ot all other roads
in the State. It was a species of the
Credit Mobilier, and he did not want
to see the roads of the State tramellcd
,by any corporation possessing unlimited
powers. x ."'..-.
Mr. Murphy said he had po confi-
dence in, the success of this enterprise
under the present bill. He said he
could not see the need "of this h ric
