to notice tbe public acti, whether brought
lo my at tent ;.m or not and I find among
tbe public lawa, an ac'. entitled
"An act to reatore the credit of the
State, and facilitate the eooatraeiion of
oar unfinished Railroad," ratified Feb.
5, 1870, which aetborisea, and even re
quires titidcr heavy penalties the defend-
. . ; 1 , , , . , , . .
art, and certain oPter Itailrnad Presidents
to do tba verv iliiiiss wbicb 1 urn asked
to prevent biro frofD doing. Of course,
then, this act must put out of tlie y,
before the plaintiff can get liia order.
Let aa then examine ibe Act. Cer
tainly rliere can be so objectioii to the ti
tle. 1 wo very (audible purposes an
X-
pressed in it, and In th of tin m within the
cope of legislative power to wit : "To
restore tbe credit ol' lite State, and to fa
cilitate tbe construction of our unfinished
Railroads" The aTl reels on coneti
lutional obligation :the other is a matter
ol policy, addieseei to t he discretion.
Huppositrg, then, these lobe the put -
pore of the act, do tin- prnvisioua
ol the aet seek loed'ctuate thoae purno-
J sea by uiTonet'tm i. iial means t
1 lore are sabsianttally two requTre

President of tbe W stern Huilroad Com
pany. Oii-ts, to iile hefore tbe OoVeetwr and
Sufrarinteiideiit mi public Work, a state
ment, show me. oh rtb.
What amount I State bonds was re
ceived by bim from the Public Treasurer,
with ll e date of suca reception ;
What amount ot suck bond have been
aold, win re, at what price, and hen ,
What amonnt have bt-eu hypoihrcan d
to whom, when, lor what purpose, utid

What amotini remain on hand unsold,
and the amount oi'imereet lecerved trora

To this requirement, I presume, there
can be no ebjectiot as accountability is
incident to all trusts aad ag--ucies.
The other requirement i "to return
