| The Orange & Alexandria Railroad
was brought to the attention of the House by a motion of Mr. Barbour
for its relief. The bill proposes that the collection of the interest
on $400,000 shall be deferred until 1864. The mover explained the
bill, and advocated its passage, saying that, on account of the
condition of public affairs, the road receipts had been diminished,
per month, from $60,000 to $25,000. |
