I< wan not, however, as to the leueral sub )ect that Cal) particularly wished to address the senate, bat on tht; jMbTiot of land grants in Florida. Call ther gave a history of those land grants and the building of railroads in Flor ida, specially in oonneoHon with tue coi p .ration known as the Florida railroad company. Of the $1 000,000, the nominal capital of that corpora tion, Call said, not one dollar had been paid iu each xoebt tbe amount paid hv tbe ■ ‘a'e ol Florida, which wa» $90,000,, Stockholders had gone itmu.gu. the form of makings formal payment of 15 per cent, but bad im- mpdiaely takni back the money.

The rota was not built the' ami h <1 r. ever been built by tb< company, but was built by means of donations of other public lauds of the Untied States.
