hau'oHS NailToau company ana OthefS,
complain that at q sale, under an eSecu.
,ion at law, Of the rolling stock Of the
Laurens Railroad Company, Chat cor
poration. beng msolvent, and the State
and the bank beng both heavily inter
ested rs creditors in tho disposition of
its assets,) "a locomotive was sold and
knocked off TO his Excellency Robert
K, Scott not III his official character as
Governor, but to him as an individual,
| and that the agent, onn Joseph Crews,
who acted for\the purchaser, has pro-
claimed that ho means to remove tho
said locomotive, regardless OF the rara.
mount liens Of the State aud the, bank,
both hens beng perfected long anterior
TO the Judgment under which the loco
motive was sold." The complainants
therefore pray that writs of injunction
may Issue restraining Governor Scott
aud his agent, Crews, from removing
tho locomotive or any other movable
property Of the company, Of which they
may have become the purchasers. The
answer of Attorney. GENERAL Chamber
lain, representing the interests Of tho
State in the matter, sustnins each and
all OF the allegations contained in tho
BILL and moreover explicitly charges
that "the purchasers under said sale arc
now designing and contrving to remove
and dispose Of said property 80 purchas.
ed" The Attorney, General, therefore,
joins in the PRAYER for the injunction.
What does all this mean Is it pos.
sble that the Governor Of South Caro-
lima, bound rs he is to look after and
protect her interests, has taken advan-
tage Of his Office to buy, on his individ.
ual account, personal property upon
which he knew that the State holds u
lien, and that he is seeking to remove
such property beyond the jurisdiction OF
her courts? This, it seems to us, Is tho
statement. Of facts. which we have npvn
the authority Of the Attorney General
himself. - Charleston Ne,Ys. lee
