The question is of much importance to .our city, and should receive the -careful examination of bur people. It will, however,

hardly be just to forrii any definite opinion upon the ; subjects presented this morning, until General Boyle shall- have had an opportunity to address the Council tnd citizens, whieh-willibe within .very few days, we are assured. . THE HENDERSON AND NASH . YILLE RAILROAD. , Visit of the ' Henderson Delegation. CONDITION, , INSISTED, UPON Difference With The Directors. ! m VR &mldgrv&lklSat it was contemplated by prominent citizensf our people in regard to the projected Evaasville, Henderson and Nashville On yesterday, Mesars. Habvey Yeaman, Ntjnn, and others, representing the City of Henderson, arrived by the Newsboy; and, after a conference with Mayor Baker, an informal meeting of the new Councilmen elect was called at half past one o'elockn At that hour the new Council and quite a number of prominent citizens assembled in the Council Chamber, and were called to order by the May or. As the new Council cannatlbe organized under the law until the Wednesday following the election, the present meeting could only be for conference and expression of views ; and no'formal action could be had. Harvet Yeaman, Esq., representing the Henderson Delegation, .addressed the Council and citizens at some length giving, from his standpoint, as a citizen of Henderson, and the Attorney of that city, a i clear, concise, and? very intelligible j statement of both, the old Henderson and Nashville, and the new Evansville. Henderson and Nashville Railroad Companies, the relations of the one to the other, and of the city of Hen derson-to each ; as, also, the mutual in terests of the cities of Henderson and Evansville. We can only give a brief outline :of his remarks. He premised, by saying that it were. bet ter that Evansville and Henderson should understand, perfectly, each other pn thjs Railroad project.- jHen derson would' insist, as one of the conditions precedent to a subscription of stockto the Road, that there should be no, other terminus; of . the Road, in Henderson County than in the city of Henderson; that she, would not consent to the building of a road through 'Henderson in that county to a point opposite Evansville, for the plain reason that she.would .be giving money to build up Evansville without any. material, benefit to :. Henderson. ythis might be a. selfish policy, but it was natural and reasonable; and he thought . that t when the citizens Of xijvansviiie renecrea upon it iney must agree that -Henderson wjis justifiable in insisting upon sucb a , condition,' for a number of years to come at least. Henderson, however, was willing that a crossing should be made at Henderson, and a road built 'on the Indiana side to connect with Evansville, and would assist to the extent of her just ability to 'such a project; The third, and as he thought the better plari, was to connect the two cities .and railroad 1 by a line of steamers. On this question of the terminus of the Road Mr. Yeaman was very decided in the : expres sion of the determination of Henderson; but he was at the same time frank, courteous and reasonable, and however much dissent may have existed with his hearers, they were favorably impressed with the manner in which he presented it. r ; Mr. Yeaman then referred to the old Henderson & Nashville Hailroad, which, after building about five miles a'nd grading' abotlt' forty miles south of Henderson, failed. The causes of -tM feilureiit was not .'necessary to examine. The creditors of the Compaf riy brought suit,' obtained 'judgment, apd a sale of . the "Road was ordered and' made. It' fell into the hands of tfche corporators of the new Evansville, rienaerson di .Nashville Railroad Companyat.a .OBt of $20,000. The estimated value of the work done on the old Road is 'over $700,000. The new Corporators or DirAntnra tRfmed irr theCSxaTterrranted by the

Kentucky Legislature; do not, as Di-

rectors, propose to put any money

. . -i. . - , , , . side of the question that he into the enterprise; they look to thec5tizen of Hnderson deeply int

cities, towns, counties and districts I along the route and adjacent to it, by the subscription of stock to furnish the means necessary to complete it. They, aside from their interests as citizens; are engage J in it as a matter of speculation in regard to which the people of Henderson do-not object, so far as it is reasonable, and not oner ous and unjust to those taking new stock. And just here a question arose as to the adjustment of these inter ests. In this connection he i read Gen. Boyle's letter to the Mayor, from which we extract the following : You will perceive that Maior Foster esti mates the value of work done, road bed. eie. ai !jo,uu. iiiw worn is oeen capitaltzedat $500,000. 820O,0Ui of-this coital stwek will be used in the purchase of the old" road, and settling outstanding claims, and $300,000, being twenty per cen . hn the remaining; cap iai suck ot ioo,ooo. will beUlivided among the new stockholders.

But just here a misunderstanding arose between Henderson and. the Directors of the E. H. & N. Company. ? Under date of March 20tk, General Boyle; as" President of the Board of Directors, submitted a proposition tor a cash subscription on the part of the City of Henderson, the first clause of which weiaopy.; .KJKJi, First, the road bed and the work done on the Henderson & Nashville Railroad, and other property of the Henderson & NasbvUleRailroid Company, recently cldr by lae-oTDmsaiftBioneT antler judgment of the Christian Circuit Court, shall, iu the organization of the Evansville, Henderson A Nashville Railroad Com Dan v. be estimated at six hundred and thirty-two (632) thousand dollars, to be divided and disposed -ef tn uows : The said Evan vilie. Hendersou & Nashville Railroad Company have agreed to pay the purchasers of the old Henderson & Nashville Railroad Company under the decree of the Christian Circuit Court,, ot the.bonds of said Company, oiieUtUQdretl and thirtytwo (132) thousand dollars, and two hundred (200) thousand dollars of the stock of Railroad QoaifcanyjP jrbich leaves three hundred (S06V thousand dollars , of the road bed, right of way, &&, of the old Henderson & Nashville Railroad, capitalized as aforesaid, and shall be di vided at tbe rate of iwenty (2J) percent. among cities, towns, counties, and indl-J vlduals, who may subscribe to the capital stock of the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad Com nan v. If anv por tion of the said three hundred ('500) , thou sand tiollars Is not used Jn payment of the iwerty iai) per cenc on ptocR suoscriDeaas above provided, shall be held for the benefit of the whole Company, nine hundred and ninety shares, ninety-nine thousand dollars ($09,000) of tbe stock held and owned by . tbe purchasers of the Road, theypropose ana inteua to use to promote ine benefit of the Interests of the Company ; but having a right thereto by terms of their contract with tbe Evansville, Henderson fc Nashville Railroad Company; they claim the right to ase or not to use the same, at their discretion. In this DroDOsition. Mr. YeamAn and General Boyle introduced a new condition, and changed the terms of his, propositi n as made to the city of .Nashville. Instead of satisfying' the claims of the conditions of the old H. & N. Co. ($130,000), by issuing to them S200,000of the capitalized stockof $500,000, he makes the capitalized stock $632,000, as the estimated value of the road bed, work done, and other property; and he proposes to pay the creditors, in .addition to the 200,000 stock, bonds to the amount of $132,000. . :. :-,-rf,- . The first proposition made by Gen. BOYLE, as stated in his Nashville letter, we consider just aud equitable; ana have. eiuDoaiea it in the ordinance, which it is proposed to submit to tbe votes of Hendersou for sition, as contained in the paper sent by Gen. Boyle to -Hen derson we think not just to the cities and towns which are expected to furnish the means to build the road. It is giving the creditors an excessive proportion LllCll I aklUl'avlUU, J. uc lilLLCl DIUUI,of. the capitalized stock. j It Jvansville can agree with lien? derson in this view of the question, and .will agree-to subscribe say $300,000 or $400,000 stock in the, road, upon the terms - proposed by Henderson, it is the , object of our Delegation - m-und tli&-- wish of the crtienv ot Henderson, that the together, upon the subscription . - ' t stocks COuTs'rnissiio'n.sunplv. is -"to confer with the people of Evansville on these points, ask you to examine the whole question, and, if it is possible for us to agree, as we think it is, to have a full, free, and frank underUtaifdgatid aet Jogetber on this question. 11 we uo, ine Uirectors or the Company must accede to our terms, as the Road -cannot be built without .the "aid of' Evansville and Henderson, . ,. -:. We have not attempted in our necessarily limited space to report fully Mr. Yeaman's remarks, but we think the foregoing embraces the important points presented by him. , . remarks of georoe m. priest, esq. ; "Hod. George M. Priest, of Hen derson, one of the Corporators and Directors of the E-, H., and N. Co., whose presence had been, alluded to by Mr. Yeaman, was jnvited by the Mayor to address the meeting.

Mr. Priest said that he was not, as

alleged by Mr. Yeaman, on the other was a terested in its prosperity, and anxious to see the Road built. The matters of difference between the city of Henderson and the'Direetors were of secondary consideration, which he .believed and hoped eould be reconciled; the treat object being to build the Road, le regretted that this question had arisen, and that th'S aonference had taken place in the absence of Gen. Boyle, who is fully conversant with facts, and should be heard before any opinion whatever is formed. Let him state the facts. H6 can give his views and the wishes of the Directors much better than I can, as I -have not been able to give the subject such attention as is necessary to a full understanding of the case. Gen. Boyle will be in Henderson in a few, days, and will also visit Evansville and address the Council and citizens. After you have heard, him yba ,'will belbetter prepared to. decide upon the question. I Mr. Yeaman is mistaken in supposing that the, Directors are engaged in a speculation. There is a" bona fide debt, and we. think $2QO,000 ip t stock of the '' 'Company 'not5 : k ' ' sufficie n t compensation.- ' Mr. Priest did not -think Gen.' 1 "Boyle 1 and . Jihe Directors 'would accept the propo--sition ofpfHenderson as contained ..in,,. its t .ordinance,, as, ther matter had been fully discussed at' Hopkinsville by the Directors and the Committee which was sent by the Henderson City Council to confer with them, and was definitely rejected. However without entering npon a discus-, sion of the question ''at this time, which he thought premature he would again ask the Council and citU zens of Evansville to suspend any judgment in formation of opinion until tney snouia near directly ana fully from General Boyle, who might be expected in a few days. t " REMARKS OF JOHN INGLE, ESQ. t 1 Mayor Baker called for further remarks from gentlemen present; when a number of the ' Henderson delegation expressed a desire to hear from Mr. Ingle, the President of the EraDsville.and vrawjordsviiie-llanruad. Mr. Ingle said he felt much as the steamboatiaen , expressed ' it1' There was nothing in sight." Citizens of fanslrille we hav no rrnnncitinn before us for our action, and therefore - -it--- K-xf "n :vM trail eive no oDimon it-ts-properthat thj8 citizeay ofiKentucky should har monlze iheTr difRiVnces and come to an understanding among , themselves. and then show us what we can1 or ought to dos't The Question of differ-5 ence between Henderson and the JJireetors was of minor import nee.' It if. f much - more importance to know how the money is to - be raised upon .the . bonds. . 'It ought to be shown how the Corporation bonds are to be "Dlacod." In the financial and railroad market bonds are plenty, but money in scarce. It may be easy to induce our cities' and towns to issue the bonds, but who, is to take them without too great a sacrifice...,' When Tthe- j Louisville & Nashville , Railroad was built, the Company could not- place them except among their own people ; wealthy men along the lino took them,' but the disposition' was a work of time, and eo by degrees the road, was built. It will .devolve - uponuGen. Boyle or some other person to :show us; how they 1 expect .' to -raise the money on the corporation bonds,' if obtained. To the communities which !eive the bonds the completion of'.Uie Eoady apd: pot the stock, will be "the consideration. .After the $2,000,000 bonds are spent on he ninety miles of road, it will take $10,000 or $15,000 per mile in railroad mortgage bonds to complete it. If the Company could then succeed, the corporations which issue the bonds could very well afford to do without interest on their stock for sometime, just as the stockholders of the E. & C. and other railroads:, in the Northwest. The question is ... can the road be built? Let Gen. Boyle show, us; how. it is to be done, and give some reasonable guarantees before Evansville and Henderson shall invest their bonds in the enterprise. A prime necessity is to have a man. at the head of it who can assure the people of its success; a man in wwoni" we, and especially the people of Kentucky, have confidence. The old IL Jk N. Road would have been built before if such men had been ; at the head -of it, r After some further retuarks by 3Iessrs, Yeaman, Priest, and the Mayof', the meeting adjourned, with a much, clearer understanding! of the nTTr IT, "70 t A..rk.t .3 a anil Tn o vioara rnrti . a.
