words and will drop the curtain upon this drfm tragedy
The gentleman from Elizabeth City has gwen US long
and interesting account al III when or ffeal p
his great legal abilities saved the State the sum OF SgOOO
Now happens that have just acted as chairman OF
committee of investigation in relation to the official conduct
Of the Attorney General in which That case inquired more
consDicuously than other subject before us; and my
understanding of the facts differs very materially with
the statement he has Just favored US with. As gath
cred the facts the that investigation MIR. Bax-
ter was consulted by Mr. Heath before any proceedings
were had In the by the Bank. He advised Mr.
Heath pay The claim, and 10 lei the Bank sue MS
advice olowed suit was brougt recovery was had
before Judge Robertson by The Bank. Mr. Baxter concur
red with Judge Robertson in opinion. The Board OF Public
Works mot merely Dir Heath desired appeal be taken
Mr. Baxter refused certify errorbelievng there was none
Another counsel employed by the Board who did certify
error appeal granted the decision OF Judge no
berson was reversed bu, upon point wholly different
from the relied upon by the Board and Their counsel
And OF the eminent counsel IN The State still be,
eve that Mr. Baxter and Judge Robertson were right and
the Court Of Appeals wrong
The gentleman from Elizabeth Clty Informed U.S. Just De-
fore taking his seat that he intended 10 scrunize closely
the future proceedings the Board of Public Works and
he discovered the least disposition make political Board
he would never thereafter dollar 10 works OF internal
Improvement We might perhaps, differ what would
constitute this Board political machine II the appoint
men, Of Democrat Wing would be so regarded, then
apprehend that such calamity will occasionally happen
and if the gentleman that chooses to fly into pei
and abandon the cause Of internal improvement be il
the friends oincrnal improvement will part with him with
regrets they proud all OF his corporations but
he will go they console themselves with the reflection
that they can get along without hEi.
BY way OF conclusion permit me TO say that should not
have trespassed upon the time OF the House but tor the on
saugh that mas made upon the Democratic party The
issue here made is 10 be submitted 10 the people for ra and
have thought right and proper that both sides OF the picture
should presented them that they might look on this
side and then that in order arrive at correct conc
sion.
