tenances, offices, horses, and mules, wagons, hands, provisions, forage, &c. belonging to the company aforesaid, which she will lease for one year from the 15th day of March, 1863, to John N. Clarkson, for the sum of $100,000--to be paid to Stuart & Co; and in consideration of which the said Clarkson agrees to furnish to Virginia 700,000 bushels of salt — bagged and delivered at the railroad depot — at the rate of $1.50 per bushel. The minority report proposes to award the contract to Chas Scott & Co., the owners of the property, for a like amount of salt, to be bagged and delivered in like manner, at the rate of $2.33 per bushel.
