| We perceive that Congress has
passed a bill exempting the stock owned in this Company by alien enemies
from the operation of the sequestration act. We are wholly uninformed as
to the merits of the application, and would be pleased if any one
familiar with the facts would communicate them to us. If a portion of
the stock really be owned at the North, as was always understood to be
the case, there must be some extraordinary circumstance to justify its
relief from sequestration, and it is but just that the facts be made
public. The reports in the Richmond papers furnish no clue to the
information desired, though we see it stated in one of them that the
road has done the transportation of the government during the war free
of charge, which, we understand on good authority, is not a fact. |
