"In the present, ciinditlon of business it Is . idilllcull to induce people anvtt'herr. to go in-., to any new enterprise, in my opinion it . would he utterly fi:ti!e lo make; any attempt:' I to raise money'in t'harh'ston lo huild a rail-i! road in I 'liarle.-Inn mili sslt i-.iiild he demon-1' | >1 raled that, such an investment, would he1, I reasonably safe. It Is impossible with the,' inforiualion we Irive lo pronounce any opin-i' ion o:i this subj.'ef. because wo don't know,:' i and can't know, what the company Itself is ' in condition to otter by way of security for,' its bonds,and ihat depends upon the amount 1 ' of locai subscriptions. We could not with any prospects of success appeal to the pen-, pie of i'h irie-lon to take bonds enough to build the road unaided, ami, unless the penplcaloug tlii- line are Milllclentiy Intoie-tcd | in it to grade it ami prepare it fur the rails. I | should doubt very much wheiher any bonds i could be placed here. The towns anil connJ ties I understand are soon to lie appealed'to, 1 and until it is ascertained how much they willdo.atiy speculation as to what will be,1 done here is useless. "1 think that, we aro all agreed that the ; road, lo a certain point at least, is one that, : ought to built and one that would lie of ad vantage to this city, anil were it not that the i debt <if Mir city is already si? large that any t addition to is II no| to lie thought of, a large i vii Iiveri nl inti riinltl itri,b:il11 v lie ,ibl:i i iirfl here ! ltd I thill favorable sentiment won't >? v:\i t usi in 111 * present ease. In order to do anythin-r licrc, we will have to satisfy cadi Iniliviiltial appealed to that there Is a In ir prospect fur a; sale In vestment of his money i!' lie will take , bonds. j '"It is lnn\ as you say. tl.at the people of the up-country are impatient mid will make oilier arrangement* and alliances unless i"hartes, ton does miiiii Ihini;, and does it ipiiekly, then j you had better call a public inceilm; and lei j | Hie people speak for themscl ves. I have no ] | authority to speak for them in this matter, land would i>e very sorry if an unfavorable j impression |s created I y any apparent lack ofi i zeal enthusiasm on the part of this commit-! i tee. Wo were appointed at a np-elinij of a | j number of business men to look into the l whole project I'rcni a business standpoint, i and the valneof any service we may rentier and its etf'eet will depend entirely upon the) thoroughness Willi which we do our work anil j the contiilenee that |>eoplc may have In our judgment. If it should appear that the local [ : subscriptions wore not sullic'ont to furnish a rea?oiiah!e guaranty that llm bonds to be issued Wotllil be a tolerably >afc investment, I think that the comrnlitce could not recommend their constituents to take them, 'i his. at least, is ni.v conception of what wo were , appointed to do. but. you had better sec the others and let them speak for themselves. 1 "Speak I mi now entirely for myself anil not for tin-in, I w id say tluit so soon as the people ! tilling the line, who lire immediately and j mainly interested in it.

If there is any oth- j er plan l?y which heller timl more immediate | results can he obtained, 1 think that we wouhl all lie glad to have it acted on.
