"Branca BasSi-oaUs.'
We have hitherto rcfruiued from lis-Cus-i-ng
the general management of
" our railroads. Not because we did not
feci a full interest io the same, and
from a lack of suitable information,
but simply f'r the reason that we
have felt willing to leave the whole
matter in the hanos of thoao with
whom it i properly charged.
' Wuh some exceptions, the manage
ment of the Wilmington and YVeliori
KoaJ, under the buperictendenee of
President Bribers and Col. Fremont,
has been satisfactory to the public ;
but recent developments compel us to
say a word in protest.
A short time since a proposition was
ruude by Mr. RriJgers, offering on the
part of the W. Si W. K. K. to guaran
tee six per cent, upon the capital stock
invented i:i the proposed branch road
from Wilson to Greenville. At a r3
cent meeting of the Directors of the
W.&W. U. K. held at Wilmington,
this proposition was accepted and a
survey ordered between the two points,
preparatory to the building of the road.
Situated at the terminus of the Tar
boro Branch Road, and reflecting the
views of the Stockholders of the same,
we feel compelled to ask the question
'How is it possible for the main road"
to guarantee a certain paying dividend
to a new branch, wheu nothing is real
izedfrom the acknowledged profits of
an o'd branch V
It seems to us that no one cau con
tend that the new proposed branch
from Wilson to Greenville will do more
than nav expenses : and where is the
1 j
money to come from to pay this divi
dend of fix per cent ?
It must nf course come from (lie earn
ings of the m tin branch, to the dctr .
meat of its stockholders.
We shall allude to this question
aain, and in the meantime republish
a communication in the Wilmington
Journal on this subject, which we
know coajes from one of the best friends
of the road.
Before duinj; so we must, in justice
to Messrs. Bridgers and Fremont, say
that we believe these gentlemen are
.vorkin, in their opinion, for the best
interest of their road ; hut the public
has a right to entertain its opinion.
Would it not be more conducive to
-tli3 interests of the W. k W. R. R. to
make a connection fro in Greenville at
tSolhel with the Wil'iatnston and Tar
ioro Road ?
This question we will discuss here -
after, aud now give the Co uimunication

' liy what authority is the offer made
ty Mr. Bridgers ? Not from the stock
holders, for they have not been con
sulted even, and at their late genera!
waeeting in November the subject of
branch nads was referred, with the re
ports of the President and Stiperiu
tendeut, to a committee, vrho d:c!ared
io their report that, however desirable
to encourage the building of branch
roads, the financial erudition of the
railroad precluded any idea tifprciiniart
aid ; and in the face of th deduction,
t'tie President offers them thin full divi
dend. ' The road is heavily in debt andftrug-

that more than half, aye txco thirdb of

at additional cost to the owner, but not

denouncing him up to that time as au

"In the present embarrassments and
