PERSONAL QUESTION.
Mr. Wand wanted the proposition pub
lished in the Banner adopted, which was
written By himself, and is as follows:
They propose 10 furnish 10 shippers fifty
| cars per dav, the shippers to register their
I names-say at the Office of the Chamber Of
: Commerce, or some convenient place. Let
US suppose tina there are 100 shippers by
I the car load in Nashville. The FIRST fifty
I would get one car each the FIRST day; the
I next fifty one car each the following day;
and on some days there would probably not
be over twenty-five shippers, and they
would get two cars. Each day the fifty car
loads will be divided between the nifty ship
pers whose names are frst in rotation. All
parties wishing to ship, will be be expected
70 hand in their names the day previous to
shipping, stating the number OF cars they
wish.
Mr.. Wand made some remarks, ssying
that he spoke by authority Of the Railroad.
Mr.. Medary said that Mr.. Wand had
tried to purchase the committee, to induce
it 10 work in the interests Of the Railroad
and he called on Mr.. Mccain to testify as
to the truth Of his assertion.
Mr.. Mccain said that Mr.. Wand had ap-
preached him, and told him something like
the following: "Mr. Mccain, you and
Dick Cheatham control the Chamber Of
Commerce and if you will withdraw your
opposition to the roads, I will see that you
have all the freight shipped that you want"
He (McCanu) would have taken the matter
up as q personal one, if be had not consid-
cred Mr.. Wand as q mere instrument in the
hands Of others.
Mr.. Wand had likewise approached him
C8IcCann) a second time, and said: " You
have a brother in trouble; (Col. Dick Nc
Cam and if you will cease your opposition
to this road, the managers can get him re-
leased very shortly.
MIR. Medary wanted Mr.. Wand expelled
from the Chamber.
Nh. Wand said hat Mr.. McCsnn had I'M
derstood him wrongfully. He only meant
that if they ceased a war on the road, that
the road would grant ali the merchants Of
Nashville good terms. He further said that
he had not been authorized to speak by the
road.
Mr.. Mccain: You distinctly told me you
spoke by card.
Mr.. Medary then offered the following:
ResolUea, That in consequence of certain
approaches having been made to j.. J. Nc
Cam, "a member Of the Committee appoint
ed to confer with legal counsel to rid the
interests of Tennessee Of the
discrimination of the Chattanooga railrOad)
by Mr.. Wand, such as are an insult to this
that Mr.. Wand is hereby per-
nitted to withdraw from this Chamber.
Nessrs. Robt. Thompson and Jas. T.. Bell
hoped that rash measures would not be
taken, as Mr.. Wand had always been a good
member very energetic one, and had
done much to organize the Chamber.
Mr.. Medary then withdrew the r~esolu-
ton, by consent of the house.
Adjourned.
