has arisen therefrom. So far it does not teem to have taken a partisan turn, as

members of each party have avowed themselves for and against it, though it

appears as if a majority of the Democrats

were opposed to any interference with the present law, considering it efficient

when properly enforced. In discussing the bill very Rev. Ang. Bessonies, vicar general of the Vinceanes diocese, comes

favor of a hitch license. After imploring

in niacin the affairs of the comimnv in

good eMttpe. Interviewed by the Louia ville Courier-Jownial, Col. Kreneh aid iu answer to the tj nest ion. "What disposition will be wade of the road through the reeeivership?" "It is too t'arly to say much on the sub-

Meet," he replied, ''as no plan of action

has bem mapped out I have come to

confer with the receiver and aid him ail I can in getting everything in good shape, sh that the interests of all may be taken care of. I am the chairman of a committee appointed at a recent meeting

of the Extern landholders to confer with the Louisville bondholders. and request them to appoint two members on!

the committee, and thereby wenre unity of action iu hiiv plans that may te adopt

ed looking to the future weltUreof the

road. 1 will meet the Louieyille gentleineu and lay the matter before them, aud

ten go to Now Orleans on business. I

will return about February 10, by which

time they will nrob'thly act upon the

suggestion from the Eat, and I hope to

meet the members they may appoint on the committee. The committee U instructed to tnako a thorough iuveslitfa-

tion of the condition of the road, its ia-

ci titles and necessities, and report what

will be required to put it in first-class

condition.

'It has been rumored very frequently

that the road was for srtle. What cau you say on that subject ?"

"les, such rumors have been arcu

ated and have done the road a great deal

ni, though they were absolutely

untrue. Some men have fannied that

they could sell the road without authori

ty Irom its owners, but they have not

succeeded yet. The road has never been

for sale, aud is not now. Of course, it

mis encountered obstacles like any other

new road, which have interfered verv

much with its successful operation, but

ts owners have confidence in its future,

and have at last succeeded in eettmst in

a position to nurse it and bring it out of

ts troubles. In the first place the origi

nal cost of the road was much greater

than the company had been led to think

it would be. and the management has

not been able to bring it out of its earlv

troubles, thousrh it has been doing a good

and growing bushier right along. The

increase tn its earnings during the last

few months has been very gratifying,

and that too, in the face of serious draw

backs in the matter of rolling stock and

motive power, aud if it was well equipped now it, would be doing a large busi

ness. It runs through a fertile farming

country that will build up a first-class

road, and which has been of immense

value to iew Albany and Louisville

since the road wan opened. Iu view ol

the financial condition of the road, the

rondholders concluded to place it in the

lands ofa receiver, in order that all the

creditors might he put eu an equal foot

n if, and all questions iu dispute settled

under orders from the court.

"will the committee ot which you are

chairman consider a plan for the reor

ganization of the comp inv ?"

"Thev will first ascertain what is nec

essary to thoroujrhlv equip the road am

place it in a condition to oner facilities

to shippers and the country through

which it passe?, and after that is accom

plished they will probably consider the

question or reorganization, but their pri

mary cvject is to put the road on its feet

which they bow have a good opportuui

ty to do."

"Will there be any conflict between

the bondholders and the stockholders?'

"We have no fear of anything of the

kind. The bondholders own a majority

of the stock and it is the intention to

protect the interest of alt alike, and make

their property more valuable. The past

year has shown that the road can he

made first-class in all respects and that

is what we are all anxious to accomplish

No plan of reorganization has been susf

gfsted yet and of course nothing definite can be said on that subject. The matter

will come up for consideration arirr

those now iu hmd are disposed of. We

feel satisfied that the road will work ou

its own salvation if it is giveu a chsHce."

"What do you think or the business

prospects of the country ?"

1 think we are entering on a better

and safer era. There will be a gradual

improvement in business and the rail

roads will be the first to feel the return

ofthe better times. In fact they already

indicate a better feeling by their lncreas

ed earning. 1 do not look for a rapid

resumption of trade in all channels, bnl

better time are eominr. and the more

gradually they come the more solid aud

substaatia) the prospects will be."
