Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-07-28

times, when the situation of the company was rendered critical by his mismanayement, as if | the company were to be held responsible for ."e eploemlc on his plantation. And at the aSt moment, the New Orleans stockholders are called together and informed that there are Sz)OOOO to be rased, which, of course. was in,- possible; an argument is addressed to them to show that the deed of trust was right and pro- per, that the sale under it will he valid and suggestions are mule to them ts form acompa- ny to buy the road. At this very period when the financial agent of the company is endavor- Ing to raise money tn satisfy The creditors, we hnd Mr. Yergcr writing letters to him express Ing the hope that he may succeed, and at the very same time returning money p,id in upon assessments and sending letters to other parties, rom whom large sums ofmoney were expected, | advising them not tn pay
 1 How IS MT. Yerger to answer this? Will he say that he became >ati>he th,t the property wou! be sold, and that he thought it his duty to save these parties from loss? Wewould ask. m reply. was fhe money not owing even if sale did take place. and was it not required to 1 pay of the honest, har,iworkiug laborers and employees of the company? O.. was il done to entce these stockholders into the new compa- l ny?r
 IL is idle for Mr Yerger to complain that he was duped into the Southern Pacific scheme when, in December last, af CT all the revelations had been made, he repeated the statements in his first report not on Mir. Posts authority, but hls own, and declared the company to be in d better condition than 1t ever had been. It is useless for him to endeavor to lay the blame l upon the north, when the facts show that his own administration was more prohIgate than any of his predecessors. IL is worse than idle for him to ocondemn Mr. Post, when he has twice Indorsrd hls financial statements, and upon a | thorough investlgatou ot his acts pronounced him all honest man, and tha. it was the interest 1 "t the company to continue him in the responsi- ble position which he occupied The al!cga- tions against MT. Post, if true, were known ia 1 December laSta well as now. Wha; conditiou then dors 1t place Mir. Yerser, tor having know ingly sustained him at that time? How can he say, that had he known that the company wa, encountered with contract of the eXtraoidina- ry character made with the Mcs,r,. Brown, he would never have connected himself with it, when he himself >anctoned or permitted A con tract to b. male win the Messls Grtnt which was more "nerus aud eXtra.ri!vary?
 IL k scarcely necessary jo pursue this subac further Mr. Ycr5rr admits nearly every seri- ouS charge winch has been mido against him. but wl'h explorations intend 3d to snor.the pu- rtv of hiS motives. What matterS t what hIs motives were, if by his m sm ana gem .ut the company was destroyed. and the thuusandS of honest stockholders wAo had invested their money In this enterprise iA god faith, were sdcrice!?
 How will he excnse himself for drelacton of duty? What apology can he offer for not hay ing managed its affairs with fidelity? Will it be sufficient 10 say that lhe directory sanctioned hSeconauct and that their niSmauagcment and ind IrsemenJ oi his cou>e will constitute viu- dicatloh?
 Having said this much we have but one ar two reflections tooti'y; in conclusion. lr. | er- ger admits the charge that hr withdrew the iced ol trust after 1t Was sent to the clerks of flee for record in order to conyer the stock claims" of "Me-Srg Scct, Iiel dersor, Taylor, Hall aud others" into a privileged moneyed 1 debt lie says:
 Alter good deal of warmth and much ob- lectlon on my part a compromSe was effected by allowing them one third, subject, however, to the approval ol he board oi directors. The deed was then sent for and re-execucd so as to include these d-bs'
 In other words, he permitted himself to be dr'Ue0 into 1t. He also almi,s that he assisted Mr. NigfaI in preparing INV to lrgalize the
