Very respectfully, .
,-: J. A. WHITSITT.

Mr.. EDITOR: | closed my last commu-
nication with a slight notice of the con-
duct of the commissioners appointed u
let out the building of the new court house,
and asked why it was that, contrary to all
usage, they made contract privately, and
why they were in such hurry about it!
They, as yet, have treated the questions
with silent contempt, and perhaps will
content themselves with their honorable
ness, as YOU call it. without rejecting that
honorable men have and may stoop to We
nv dishonorable acts.
Since they hare refused to give the rea-
sons which influenced them, will beg
leave to say what l think about it. II so
happened that a majority of them were
Hillsborough men in feeling, had private
interests and associations in that town, and
as they had accidentally got an order to
pull down the old court house and build a
new one, they were determined to avail
themselves of it, and pin the basket, if they
could, upon Orange county before the
stern rebuke of public opinion was brought
to bear upon the question.
What, sir, is the history of this transac'
ton! A short time before the February
Court, ] notice appeared in your paper
that motion would be made at that Court
10 build court house-(who gave the no
lice know not.a The notion was made
and then an amendment offered TO repair
the old instead of building new one.
The chairman would not put the question
on the amendment for reasons best known
to himself. In this you say, Mr.. Editor
although YOU very generously take nc
part in this controversy that injustice has
been done to the chairman.
am not very conversant with parlia
mentary rules, but if | am not greatly mis-
taken, in deliberative assemblies, ques
tions on amendments always take prece
dence and ought to be put flst. Why die
not the County Solicitor, who is the lega
adviser of the Court, paid for that pur
pose, and who was called upon TO enlight
en- the magistrates then sitting, stand NUT.
and refuse to give his OPINION! nave
done him injustice too!
After all this mummery the order wa
passed by less than majority of the jus
tees Of the county, and yet your CORES
pondent, Old Orange. is, it seems, grea
advocate for maiorities. The payment
the $4,000 is made extremely easy to tn
people. They have four years, or is
f three years and four months to pay it in
The undertaken is, | suppose, shrew'
businessman, and what sort of calcula
ton did he make to enable him to wal
for his money! He figured it out in TIN
way
