Gentlemen Of the Board Of Public Norss !!
The first duty which owe to the large
and respectable portion of the commu-
nifty which represent on this occasion,
is to correct fundamental error which
Mr.. Terrell and his counsel have labored
under during the progress of this exam
ination, and in which you seem to some
extent to have participated. And that
is, that this proceeding is instituted for
the purpose of convicting Mr.. Terrell
of some specihce act of malfeasance or
nonfeasance, which constitutes legal
ground for the removal of an officer
from office.
This is an entire misapprehension Of
the object of this proceeding.
The Superintendent of the Cumber-
land Road is an officer who is appointed
by the Board of Public Works for an in
definite term, and is removable at its
pleasure for any cause which the Board
NAV consider sufficient, or for no cause
at all. 1t is purely a matter of discre-
ton, and it is the duty of the Board to
exercise this discretion whenever in its
Judgment the public welfare requires it
If Mr.. Terrell lacks the energy, the
Judgment, or the integrity required for
the efficient discharge of the duties OF
the office, it is the duty of the Board to
remove him, whether any or all of the
specific charges made against him are
sustained or not.
And say this not because have any
doubt about the proofs being abundant
" sufficient to sustain nearly if not
quite all of the charges that are made
against him, but because l desire tO
place this proceeding upon its proper
and legitimate basis. There is no desire
on the part of those who have institu-
ted this proceeding to bring Mr.. Ferrell
into disgrace, or to injure him in his
reputation or business.

The balance of the funds on hand
when he came in, the income of the
road, and the $500 received for the toll

his reports, on contracts for furnishing
stone for outside labor in clearing
bitches, making side roads, for feed for
oxen, the price of the oxen, &c, &c.
Mr.. Lunsford's testimony states his
receipts and expenses substantially as
given above, .but fSrgreater precision I
have referred to his reports for the
amounts and objects of expenditure. If
the simple statement of these facts does
not explode his excuse for not keeping
| the road in proper condition for want
of funds, no comments or argument of
mine can do it, aud | therefore leave
this branch OF the case.
Whatever allowance must be made
for the feeling which he has manifested
in this proceeding, in any opinions Mr..
Lunsford may have given in his evil
tdence, the facts stated by him and net
