ly toner par, aad his Intestate, aot being a pre).
fuatinnal cob tractor, did - aot desir any greater
contract uiaa one Mimtaa at double th ral-
u of hi owa Mock. ,
It being a prevalent opinion at th tim (hat
a con tract or with a contract yielding double
thmonl of hi subscription, might pay" the
ei peases of tba work from th mon.j.and tawt
stock wa thea not worth par, and no prudent
man would bar purchased it at that pnet; tbe
rata ot depression may be judged of front the
fact, that , tha sub-conlrsctox under Johnsna
allowed a discount of twenty-fly per ceqt Jo
obtain caarj for tba work. ..,.-,....
Th equity of th Plaintiff ia aa emanation or
deduction trom an obllgatioa wbicb was ss
tumed by tb freottemen, who were most active
in procuring individual subscriptions for' Mock,
ana wuicn waa srierwsrai carried into effect by
tba President and director acting under tb
instruction of th individual Stockhnldert,and
wat by them according to the .dyertjineiit fur
Contracts mad on ot the term of the letting ;
that ia to nay, contractor wer required ta m-
eeiv payment, on halt in cash the Other half
in tb Mock of individual subscriljers.
It It apparent that tucU aa obligation ot an-
derlaking oa th part of th Individual subscriber,-wa
in direct coritrsvention of the ritrhti
of th8taT; inasranch u the 8tte was lo fur
nish two-thirds ot tbe funds for th construc
tion of thia Road, and although not then repre
sented, waa to contribute two-tbirds of th
'Company' capital. " . ...u'',
It waa aooordiniriy made asubtect of anxious

officers of ill Company to allow more to
iiwUim their work wa wortk. in eash. rn

After much reflection, ws bsv com to the con

Boydeo's adtuinist ration there wia no protest or
remimstrance or objection to bis projects, plans
and expenditures. The'Stnck holders, tbrmth
their Directors, Thomss Webb, C.' P; Wend, n
Jia'l, D. A. Davis and John U Morehead, if nut
quietly eoricnrrrng, never remonstrating against
any art of Mr. itoyden's administration, 'i'bene
gentlemen are large Stockholders.' I say 'it to
their credit, tiiey have devoted more time and
attention to th vad than all the large Stock
holder owning altove 80 share, put togrjticr
0d1ntooseanIirfIjeTJencrI propose to
commit the future destinies of the road. Thene
four gentlemen are a much responsible for Mrt
Boydea's extravagant administration a General
Leach and the State Directors. They did
nothing to encourage it, and they did nothing
to prevent it. Neither they nor th Slate Di
rector knew of it, antil it waa all over and too
late to apply tfie remedy. So it bas been with
all Directors in this and In all roads, and so It
will continue to be. Th President snd Super
Intendent rnn th road', and not Director.
I Th General, No. I, charge m with "making
S lame apology for Mr. Boyden." I aaid Mr.
Boyden had spent without paying th interest
ha nor debt, one million three hundred thou
sand dollars, I aid be took tb Presidency
without desiring It, and promised ut he would
not give hit wnol attention to th affair of the
t-otd.'; I id be left tha Presidency informing
m be tad kept hia promise. , Mistaking tbit
farcaara for an apology, is well calculated to give
he public an humble opinion of the General's
fcapacity tad power of discrimination. "
I The General, No. 8, honor with his notice
tonly twrrthird of tbe present Botrd of Direc
tors, He only names th State Director. Let
trie inform- him, th. board consists ot twelve
mem tiers, and that Me. irs. Mordecsi, Webb,
f Morebead aad - Davis, Marg Stockholder,
ar entitled tn the houorof hit notice at much
a tb State Director. ' They are a rnucb ad
dicted to 'payin claims nJ granting favors,
its other of the Board. " In, fact when the
Board, to use th General's language, "at last
resolved to modiry the ntgro hire order," they
did It without the aid of either of these gen
tlemen.. I would giv the amount ot Stock
each at these gentbimaa awrftat, jt woald ant
add to their capacity, fidelity or fitness for
heir place, except in tbe General's estimation,
f I fear, sines tb General' t mistake of sarcasm
for apology, be baa misread the old aphorism,
worth makes th man, wantof it the fellow,"
by reading, money makes the man and want ot
it tb fellow I verily believe if the General'
80 shares of stock "thrown upon him by tha,
result of th wr" wer thrown upon . thea
four gentlemen, individually or collectively, it
would add nothing to their capacity for Rail
Road management. ' m 4 i
j Tb General, No. 8, tayt:
! "There i little or a reform, and the money
continue to flow like water." Why 'did vou
' aot inform the Stockholders and Director of it f
i he trains and 11811008," says the General, "ar
often 'tha scenes of r rowdyism and obscenity,
disgraceful to the age and country." I am at
tb first of this ; I never witnessed or heard of
disorder on tbe train or at the depot. Until
better informed, I can only blame a large Stock
holder, who knowing, then indecencies, has
tailed to report them to the Board. I surges 6
