Mr. Lamar said that as a stockholder
and a citizen he was interested in the
road, and did not want to be gagged
down. He wanted to ask questions and
wantetfan answer. He wanted to know
whdt had been done, and did not want
to be gagged down. The conrse of
management of affairs of the road which
had been pursned was injurious to it,
and fie could prove it. He would ask
what were the terms of agreement with.
meeting
Col. Houston, the President of the
Florida road, nppn which the Live Oak
Branch had been transferred to the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad Company.
Col. Screven said that this Company
was to< purchase-tlje road, giving in pay=
ment. therefor 4136,000 in the common
Block.
Mr. Lamar Said that to bis certain
knowledge an offer had been made to
transfer the road to certain parties in
this city, provided they would complete
and run it. He was instrumental in
breaking up the arrangement. Colonel
Houston was willing to give the road
away. The matter would have been car
ried out if be (the speaker) had not in
terfered. The Gulf Railroad borrowed
money and completed the brauch; and
Col. Houston agreed to bring one-third
of the business of his road this way. By
giving him §136,000 he had obtained
control of the road leading from
Jacksonville to his road, and carried all
* 00 the produce down to Jacksonville. In
this'tlie management of the road had
not exercised common judgment.
Col. -Screven said he was not conscious
of any effort of intervention by Mr.
Lamitr. The peop’e of Florida and
many prominent citizens of Savannah,
in 186G, became exceedingly anxious for
the completion of.-the Florida brauch.
STOCKHOLDERS
-A.. Sc Or. R,. In
stances and secured the road for laying
rails ?
Colonel Screven said that after the
war the iron was re moved from the Hoad
by the Florida Railroad, under the or
ders of the United States authorities,
and he could not have prevented it.
Mr. LttiUar said he knew something
about that matte*. Hawas in Tallahas

te retnovMhe ifo^awjL-fcrf no doubt
thft* tflat tne old iron, already on the
road i could have bfcer. secured for hiding
the new. ColoneLScreven bad attempt
ed to sustain his' action by saying a re
port was made and confirmed two years
ago. If the report was examined it would
be fonnd that many things were not done
that should have been done. He believed
Colonel Screven’s management of the
road had been to the best of his
ability, but he 'didn't "believe in "hjs abil
ity. He did not believe in this stirring
up of competition.
The speaker was called to order. He
continued:
“You may call to order as much as
you please, but let me go on.” He said
that with regard to the transfer of s'tock,
by the city of Savannah, the public es
timation of the bargain was such that
the moment it was announced the stock
rose twelve dollars per share. This was
a downright acknowledgement by the
public that the road had not been man-'
aged properly. He had no confidence in
the present management, and had not
had any for four years. *
Mr. Octavus Cohen said that with
reference to the advance price of stock,
he had sold some stock which was trans
ferred in the name of a man who had not
one cent to buy stock with. He was a
clerk in the office of the Central Rail
road.
Mr. Lamar said that might have been,
but most of the sales were bona fide.
On the 10th instant the stockholders
el tut* Atlantic and Gulf Railroad met
in Siv.uiuah, ami organized by the ap-
p>>intuien'• of Judge J. R. Alexander, of
Tiicnn.isville, as (Chairman and J. M. B.
1. >vi*il. Esq., of Savannah, Seeietarv.
After the raiding of the nunual report
of the managers of the road,Col.Screven
delivered an able, happily conceived
and appropriate address, exculpating
himself from the charges made by Pres-
i lent Wadlev in his annual report. We
regret wo have not sufficient space to
insert it iu our columns.
After the conclusion of Col. Screven's
address, the following interesting and
highly gratifying proceedings were eu
acted, for the report of which we are
indebted to the Morning News:
Dr. R. D. Arnold moved that tho re
port be published for the information of
stockholders. The address was an able
vindication of the policy of tho Presi
dent of the Road, aud must recommend
itself to every one. He moved that it be
received, adopted and published.
1 his motion originated a lively debate.
Mr. O. B. Lamar moved that the ad
dress be referred to a committee to ex
amine and see if the grounds were true
before it was adopted by the stockhold
ers. lie acknowledged the jnsticeof the
gentleman's vindication of lus policy,
hut wanted the matter referred to a
committee. He was opposed to bringing
this roail into competition with the Cen
tra! and Southwestern railroads. Sach
competition would ruin the Road, and
was against its best interests. Who was
responsible for this competition? There
ought to be no competition. This road
ought not to run where the Central
Road is. \\ by run the road up into Al
abama? Why not extend it further
west, and bring more trade here ?
Judge I. L. Harris, of Baldwin county,
called the gentleman to order. He was
not speakiug to the question. The report
shonld be published, if only as an act
of courtesy.
Mr. Lamar said he was in order. He
would ask the President of the Company
a question or two. Did not he (Col.
-Screven) agree to transfer the Like Oak
Brauch Railroad to another party, at
one time.m consideration of their build
ing the road ?
1. ol. Screven—Such a transfer was in
contemplation, bat was ne^er consutn-
ated.
Dr. Arnold said he wonld modify his
resolution. He moved that it .be pub-
lislied in pamphlet form.
Mr. Lamar wanted it referred to a
committee, and was proceeding with his
remarks, when
Jif- Arnold said the gentleman was
entirely out of order.
Mr. Lamar continued to speak.
Mr. James L. Seward called the gen
tleman to order.
The Chairman decided that Mr. La-
war was in order.
Mr. Seward said he should speak with

Col. Screven said the original char

Mr. Seward said tb» original

the Chattahoochee, just where the
gentleman says we cannot put our
feet.
Mr. Lamar—I did not say any
such thing.
Mr. Seward said the gentleman
sard we must go furibqt west. Was
Albany west. s
Mr. Lamar arose and addressed
the meeting. He said: Do you intend
to be fooled by any such argument
as this? Does the gentleman think
you ere all fools?
Mr. Seward sought not to delude.
The gentlema i had made no argu
ment to show that the road had not
been managed, with ability. .After
the war, the moment the Central
Railroad reached Macon, it had
plenty of feeders, while the Atlantic
and Gnif Railroad was at Thomasville
without a single feeder
Mr. Lainar— It has no feeders now.
Mr. Se#ard—That is what we want
to have.
Mr. Lamar—But you will not with
the present management.
Mr. Octavus Cohen said that after
the war the Central Railroad had
$18,000,000 capital, while the Gulf
Road had none.
After some further debate, Mr.
Lamar’s motion to refer the address
of Colonel Screven to a committee
was voted upon—ayes, none, nays,
unanimous vote.
Dr. Arnold’s motion to publish the
address . was then >jjafrkd unani
mousily; *. - "
yif. ,Seward meved that it also be
received aud. appatoved-v^Oamed

Hon. Milton Smith, of Thomas
county, approved ibe* resolutions. He
made quite a lengthy speech, sari<-g
that all the opposition to the Gulf
Road came from the CeOltal Railroad
Company. He hoped the city stock
■nald be purchased by the Cotiipmy.
He understtfod there was some purpose
to thwart the re-election of the piesent
Managers of the road. He would en-

on eon id not see the propriet y of a broken
down road buying anything, much
less its own stock. He declared that
the people of Southern Georgia had not
fulfilled their obligation, had only paid
fonr or five dollars on tbeir stock and
had forfeited it.
Dr. Arnold inquired whether the gentleman
was an original subscriber and paid for his
stock in gold, or whether he bought it in Confed
eral* times, with Confederate money. If the
latter he moVed that he ho allowed to get his
money bjek by jelling it at the present value of
Confederate money.
Mr. Lamar said he esme by his stock honestly.
Col. McIntyre said the people of Southern
Georgia had paid for their stock.
Mr. Lamar’s amendment, limiting the price,
was unanimonsly voted down.
Mr. Lamar offered an amendment that the
company purchase G. B. Lamar’s stock at $50
per share.
Dr. Arnold asked if there was any injunction
to pfevent the gentleman from selling out.
The original resolution was then adopted,
wilb only one dissenting vote.
Mr. Stoddard called attention to an arrange
ment entered into for the equalization of rates
of ft-eiglit.
The arrangement made b; Messrs. Stoddard
A Cohen on the part of the Atlantic A Gulf
Railroad, lien. Gi nler of the Central, and Gen
Lawton, for the Soutewestern, and confirmed by
those, provided that the rate on cotton by the
Gulf road, from Bainbridge to Savannah should
be 35 cents per hundred miles for cotton, the
Central and Southwestern roads to adopt the
same rates, pro rata, from Eufaula and Colum-
bns;andall diserimmation of steamship lines
against the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad to cease,
and that road to stand on the same footing with
tbe\>thers so far as steamships were concerned.
Col. W. 0. Fleming, of Bainbridge, said the
compromise did nut recognize the just rights of
the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad, with reference to
the trade of the Cha’talmochee. lie. offered
resolution to tho effect that the compromise
should be %boiished, and a better pro rata ar-

also, find in certain localities the ig

DAILY AM) WEEKLY.
T he am
frtatAt
tiou ou this subject.
Mr. Lainar arose to reply, but was in
terrupted by Mr. Janies L. Seward, of i
Thomasville, who said these matters had
long ago been discussed and confirmed.
The proposed committee could have no
jurisdiction to inquire into them now.
Mr. Lamar said a meeting of the
Stockholders was competent to take up
any matters.
Mr. Seward said that this motion was
to raise a committee. This matter was
beyond the reach of any committee. If
the gentleman would take his alviee—
Mr. Lamar said he could not take any
advice. He was here to examine into his
rights as a stockholder.
Mr. Seward made a point of order,
that the gentleman was not speaking on
the question before the meeting;
Mr. Lamar insisted that he was and
was sustained by the Chair.
Mr. Lamar begged not to be inter
rupted any more. He was discussing the
interests of the Road, and had a right
to. The management of the Road had
not been what -it ought to have been.
The President had not done what he
ouglrt to have done. He had opposed
the action with reference to the Florida
branch at the time. He opposed the
transfer of the Road to F. W. Sims <fc Co.
He went to Col. Houston and told him
he would institute measures to break it
np. If Col. Houston was willing to give
his half to F. W. Sims tC Co. for Laying
the rails, would he not have been willing
to have done the same for the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad? Was it not an act of
generosity on the part of the Board to
give him 136,000.
Colonel Screven begged that the gen
tleman would be more careful. There
were witnesses present who knew that
the stock was not given until after pro
tracted bargaining.
Mr. Lamar said: Would* not Colonel
Houston haver been as willing to give to
the Atlantic and Golf Railroad Co. that
which he offered to F. W. S. «fc Co. The
gentleman had spoken of the difficulty
of raising money. Somehow the Board
did raise it and lay the rails. Oogbtthey
not to have taken advantage of dream-! bama and Mississippi
seeking to strangle this enterprise. If
they could be arraigned here there would
be some sense in it; but there was no use
to getVip a committee for the -purpose
of making capital for them.
Mr. Lanjar denied any such intention.
Mr. Reward said the gentleman had"
said that the wholft of this competition
with other roads was wrong.
Mr. Lamar—The whole meeting will
say so.
Mr. Seward—Who started it? This
road did not, aud did not desire to do
so.
The gentlemau thought the Like Oak
Branch business was wrong. That is all
past. Why was he not here the last
meeting to oppose it? That which has
been done cannot be undone.
Mr. Lamar said he desired to put the
company -under different management
for the future.
Mr. Seward saidas to the rise in value-
of the stock, the Southwestern Railroad”
with its capital could come into the
market and increase the value of the
stock at any time. He asked wherein
the management of the road had failed.
Mr. Lamar—In the fact that after
they took charge, the stock went down
to thirty-eight.
Mr. Seward said the Board of Direc
tors were not responsible for that, any
more than they wer-» for the rain which
fell. Could * the Board prevent rainy
seasons, bad crops, caterpillars, Ac. ?
If they could do all this, they were re
sponsible, aud should have caused the
stock to rise, and bad not proved com
petent. ..
Mr. Lamar-said the Central Rail
road Company did it.
Mr. Seward said it was a work of
time. He remembered when Central
Railroad stock was down to thirty.
Give the Atlantic and Golf Railroad
the same chances; give it plenty of
feeders and time, and it would pay
as well as the Central Railroad.
Mr. Lamar—Not under its present
management.
Mr. Seward asked to what point
Mr. Tzumr wonld have the road ex
tended?
Mr. Lamar—Into Georgia, Ala-
miles of road com
pleted, at u cost of $20,000 per mile,
its capital stock fell far below the
cost. A stock dividend of 50 per
cent given to stockholders would not
piy for the outlay. He thought
a funding process would be better
than a dividend. Iu case the in
junction prevented the Southwestern
Railroad Company from buying the
railroad stock of the city of Savan
nah, he proposed that this Company
should take those 12,383 shares and
assume ihe redemption of the bonds
and coupons attached.
Col. A. T. Melntyre, of Thomas
county, said he had had this matter
under consideration. The object of
this- Qpmpany was not to invite hos
lility, but to sustain itself. If the
gentleman (Mr. Lamar) had been
one of the first corporators of the
road, and was as familiar*with its
workings as be- (the speaker) had
been he would know that as much
had been done in the time as by any
other road. The inter- sts of the road
had been maintained. The cilv of Sa
vannah had for some reason sold its
stock, and had been enjoined fiom com
pleting the sale, lie offered a pieamble
and resolutions.
Whereas—The city of Savannah
appealed to the ci'iz*ns of Southwestern
Georgia for aid to complete the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad, which appeal was
responded to at the Convention held to
consiiter the matter, and it was agreed
that the construction of the ro id was
necessary for the well-being of Savan
nah and South Georgia, and the work
was carried out; and, -
Whereas, The city Savannah has,
without notice to Stockholder*, so d all
its stock in the Atlantic arid Guff Rail
road, produ ed considerable excitement
and anxiety, with a view to harmonize
the feelings of all.
Resolved by the Stockholders, That
the Board tf Directors are hereb au
thorized to purchase the slosk of the
city of Savannah is said roail, provid
ed the same can be done at a fair price
and on equitable terms.
Judge llairis said that Judge*Flem-
ing, Judge Alexander and himse.f would
have no right-to-sote on the .resolution.
Thev represented the slock owned by
the State a«d coaid not act without
authority.
Col. McIntyre amended his resolution
by adding a proviso .to the effect that
the assent of the Legislature as far as
the State stock was concerned, be first
obtained.
Mayor Cox, of Bainbridge, asked that
yhe same extend to all corporations. He
could not set without authority from
the Council of that city.
Mr. Lamar moved to amend and
limit the amount to be paid to fifty
doBarC per share, aa stock can be
bought for that any day.
Mr. C. J. Monnerlyn, of Bainbridge,
moved that a committee bo appointed
to examine proxies- Carried and com-

tral Railroad Company’s boats on the Chutta
boochce river weio doiug all the injury to Sav-
ithnah they could, by (lurrying, ei-tton to Ner
Orleans for $1.50 per bale. In Liverpool, New
Orleans cotton brought a f.rthing more per
pound than any other, and this uiCro than paid
the freight oil it. I bej’ were do : ng this to drive
oQ' the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company’s
bouts.
Col. Fleming spoke in favor of his motion,
and, iu the course of h'is remarks, said that the
citizens of Bainbridge bad memorialised the
Council And protested against their casting
vole in favor of any- person who favored the
taking posession of Gulf road by a monopoly.
General Lawton said that as the representa
tive of the Southwestern road and' one of Ihe _
parties to the compromise he knew nothing of Have ' eve r thought of the Small ZSZSSltiSX?'“'’“"V*
the steamers on the Chattahoochee. The agree
ment was ^crouched almost entirely in the lan-
gnage.proposcd by the representatives of the
Gulf road. Every effort that the Central and
Southwestern roads at compromise had failed.
The boats spoken of were turned over to at
agent and had gone on the river as other boats
had, doing business at any and all points for
anybody who chose to employ them.
Mr. Stoddard asked if they did not belotfg to
the Central Railroad Company.
Gen. Lawton said they did hut not as a pa r t
of their line. They had been r leased from
their agreement to carry exclusively for the
Central Ra ! Iroad. He continued to speak at
length in answer to remarks made about the
Ceutrrl and So uthwestern roads.
After some further discussion, the resolution
to abolish the compromise was withdrawn, and
matter left to the option of ths board of Direc
tors.
A motion was then made to go into an elec
tion for a Board of Directors. Mr. Hardaway of
Thomas county, -Mr. Brandon of Brooks coun
ty, and Judge Flemirg were appointed to
superintend the election. The old Board of
Directors were elected by a unanimous vote, as
follows :
John Screven, John Stoddard, A. M. Sloan.
W. H. tViltburger. Hiram Roberts. w *m. Dun
can, R. D. Arnold, Cbas. Green, E. C. Anderson,

The' whole number of votes east war 12.245.
The whole number of shares in tbe stock of
the company is 36,912. Of these these tbe 12,
