WABASH & ERIE CANAL STOCK.
On motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the Governor's Special Message of yesterday was read.
It transmits the memorial of a committee in behalf of the holders of the Wabash & Erie canal stocks, which sets forth that said stockholders have authorized their attorneys, and pray for authority to sue the State on the amount of said bonds--($16,000,000 or &18,000,000)--and his Excallency stating that he can not recommend the payment of said stock represented--(which has discussed in his late message)--the jurisdiction of the courts of the State having been withheld in the case; and if the constitutional provision were removed the Governor said it is a question which the people might decide.
The SPEAKER suggested that the papers should go to the Committee on Canals.
It was so ordered.
