NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. Remnrks Mado by General Goorgo e Cunyy SEcforo the Board of Diroctors on Accepting the Presidestey of the Rorthern faciius Holirond Come pany. GrNTLEMEN: It i3 now about throo months nince you oxprorsol your confldence in my de- votion Lo tho host intorests of this corporation, and of ny ability to serve it, Ly elecling me to tlio most rosponsiblo pouition within your gift— thnt of tho Prosideucy, which was soon to be- como vacant, L'or this ovidenco of your nrpro- clution I feel most gratoful; but the position I eannot nccopt with an unmixed feeling of grati- fudo. I accopt it with doubt and hositalion, in viow of its gront responuibilitios. When the Board nindo its scloction of a suc- cousor to tho gontioman who crented thiy gront entorprivo as it standa boforo the public to-day, 1 was, by your appoiutmont, on s Committee to o to tha Pacific const, aud aftorwards to Minne- wotu aud Dakola, Lo funke & personal examina- tion of tho vond, it route, and its land grant, and to look into avorything which concorned th Company's presont and {nture, Jefore accepl- Ing or declining tho trust you ofiered to mo, T thought it to bo fit—to Lo die to mysolf, to you, aud (o that emall portion of tho publio thac might place confidonce in the entorprise by renson of my prosiding over it—that I should firat mnko this porsonal oxamination, and thore- on fouud my judgment of {lo ultimato valuo of the Northern Pacific Railrond aud. of its land rant. L I'hat okamination has been made, and my opinion of tho o orty hae beon formed on tho oxamination. And I como to-duy to sunounce 5 you my nceoptanco of the honor and the ofico yo hinve tendored to mo, and o promise to do- Yoto to this entorprise all of my tine, and what- ovosof oxporionco and judgmout I bavo acquired iu forty years of active businoos lifo, most of it spent in"works of » character similar to the con- struotion of tho Northern Pacifle Railroad. In making o porgonal oxamination of the road, tho rauto, and tho land-grant to which I haye ro- forred, I was ono of a Committeo of n majority of your Board, and thus had the full advintago of obsorvation from the verious atandpoinis b which ditfereut minds and tompernmonts wonld naturally viow 80 groat o project, all aiding mo to roaclt s more secure and sound judgment. In the joumeg, Wwo oxamined albout one thou- sand miles of tho route of your road, and of the Iands contignous. Of the' ling aud tle lands, mora than onc-half was on tho Pacifle const, Of the constructod portion of tho road, wo twico Y:mul:d over 400 nilos, oxamining the wholo of Lo proporty and tho whole of “the thousand mils of route by deylight, purposing to roly on what wo saw, and 1ot on what wo heard, as Lo tho route, the land, the proporty, aud the prob- ablo future development of the enterpzise. It is not 1y purpose to gointo an elaborate secital of nll the fucta and tho thuorics on which T baso my opinion that the Northern Paciflc Rail- rond can” bo constructed ol o reasonnble cost— that it can bo oporated and miutsined at a loss cost than any other yuilrond acrous tho coutinout rorth of tho pacallel thirty-threo, for very ob- vious reasons—and that it will huve, when'con- structed, and ot ouce, & largor locul traffic than any othor rond can finvo wast of, tho ono linu- dredth meridiau of longitude; but I wili cay to you that such i3 my well-considored judgment. 1 will also say that the yaet country withiu the limits of your land-grant is not_equalled by any uimilar oxtent ot country weet of iho Misuissippi River, in all of tho eloments necessary Lo sup- port au intalligont, entorprising, and prosperows population in the comforts and luxuvies of lite. “Ulicra is no problom tonolve as to tho success of the Northern Pacifie Railrozd after it ehell Liovo been constracted, Tho only question n: that ‘event will Le how intelligent men of thx ago should over lave had a doubt ubuus its success, With theso viows, gentlomen, T enter upon the duties of tho trust you have committed to me.
