(excot eer-frf Mrr- HnTrreo" ad miniatratioa) them aa beea entire harraonv, tietweev the State Directors snd the Dirwtors on the part of the Stockholders.' Evtq in Sir. 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 the memorisliBt that they amend their mew niwiiai man nn, ueinistura, lo loroitl me General' voting in 'th Stockholder's meeting, byway of punishment for not Informing the Bosj-d. I wouid.boV Jiowever, k the Legisla ture tn act on tha amended memorial. I may "add, if would be a improper for that body to t so, as n wouiu ue ior tuem to lorma Hie Btockholder eh-cting Director uukss he owned twenty shares of stock. There is no iniDronri. ty in the memonalist asking for this, for it wouia Bot-Jiurt she eomplexina of the memorial to add this additional, but uuly feature to its fCC l .." .i V s I ' A to fare and freight the. whpla lytcmJ nible of . confusion, of favontism. fraud or folly."! i is t ' , -..f ! 1 Ins may be so m. to the "confusion and folly," but we have our doubu at to the "favor itism and fraud."
