TI0N-TRlCKS AND SHIFTS OF
THE CORPORATION AND ITS
AGENTS.
Az many Of the citizens Of this coun.
y Who have taken an active part In fav.
or Of sbolishing the oligarchy at the
county seat. may not know why the
messuse was not carried through tho Le.
gisls.ure; ws will state that fnal sction
was postponed until another meeting of
the Legislature, in consequence OF the
shifts and tricks Of the Company and its
hired tools and spies. to stave oil the as.
sion. which they SO much dreaded.
The Company presented three distinct
Rsmsnssrancss. the last Of which was
The separate remonstrance Of PROBES.
SOR Briggs; "remarkabs DOCUMENT"
which We intend to review as soon as
opportunities shall present themselves.
Il wss somewhat interesting a. a goo.
logical essay on the iron and coal for
nations Of several States--its apPropri.
ate reference as was suggested BY Senat,
Or Anderson would have been to the
committee on Federal relations. But
<his doc ument with long list Of afi.,
davits, was ordered to be printed. and
by some means or other the printing was
ksp. back six days, from Saturday
morning until Thursday noon. within
three days Of the adjournment. and the
bill yet to be put on its final resdins
and passage ia the Senate, and TO be
read on rsAEs separate days in the
House; therefore the friends Of tho mea.
sure sought the action that was finally
taken. that Il be placed upon the table,
whore il should have its due precedence
at tho next Session.
The statement by the Company in
thsis paper Of last week that the ques'
tion Of Repeal had died its death in this
Lsgislsture, shonld be taken with .some
small grains Of allowance. bscauss on

10. leaving = sufficient majority for all
practical purposes.
Tho House was ripe for action on th.
bill. all the members from this quarter
Of the State were united in favor Of Re
peal. both Wings and Democrats; ex
espt We truly regret to say, eur own I'm
msiiate representative, Judge Johnston
who for a while favored the views o
those seeking Repeal, but afterward
sook strong grounds against them. New
