the City Hall, mutual salutations being
exchanged i'll evidence of the general
satisfaction experienced from the happy
occasion by the entertained and enter

review, occupied twenty five minutes,
and was unquestionably the most glitter

for many years. The line of march was
marked down Greene street to Elbert,
through Elbert to Broad, up North side
of Broad to Marbury, and down South
side of Broad to point between Macar-

liminaries were arranged for the contest.

STATEMENT OF BONDS ISSUED UNDER THE
ACT OF SEPTEMBER, 1868.
The Board of Directors, in April last,
after much consideration and inquiry of
capitalists, determined to make the
bonds authorized to be issued by the
Act of September. 1868. payable in gold,
principal and interest, being convinced
that the increased price such bonds
would command in foreign markets
would more than compensate for any
small excess of interest to be paid for the
few years until United States currency
should be at par with gold.
A text of gold bond was thereupon
carefully prepared and placed in tho
hands of the American Bank Note Com
pany, in New York. for engraving: but,
owing to many causes, this work was
delayed, and the first bonds were only
received in September last.
600 bonds, of $1,000 each, seven per
cent. interest. haye been signed by the
President ond Secretary of the company,
and the usual form of guarantee of the
State of South Carolina endorsed thereon
by the Comptroller-G General. j.
It is due to that officer to state that
he made the point whether the company
was authorized by law to sell bonds,
ahu, as pruuenC precautlOn, referred
the question to the Attoruey-General,
who furnished q written opinion support
ing tho action of the company.
The company have not, as yet, dis
posed of or sold any of these bonds,
the. low price of State securities, until
very recently, rendering sale injudi-
cious.
The bonds are now in the vaults of
the State Treasury Department. in this
city, for safe-keeping Respectfully,
J. W. HARRISON,
President.

contract with Creswell & Co., to employ
labor, he would have been compelled by
its terms to pay them the full amount
therein stipulated; hence, Messrs. Cres-
we'll & Co., having the advantage, under
the contract. first, by reason of their
advance of $500, 900, (although the Com
pany have not deemed it prueent to use
the same;) and, secondly, by reason of
the depreciation in the price of gold,
have claimed largo damages, should the
contract with them be annulled.
The Executive Committee, considering
the advantages which would accrue from
annulling the contract, and making
another that would save more than
81, 900, 900. for the cause already stated,
the Attorney General of the State and
the solicitor of Creswell & Co. were
invited to appear before the Board of
Directors, and both of these gentlemen
presented their views. The principal
point of the controversy discussed was
whether Messrs. Creswell & Co. had
forfeited their contract by failure to
commence the work within the period
and in the manner stipulated. Or both
sides, the arguments were able and
learned; and, without undertaking to
decide which view was correct, legally,
the Executive Committee are satisfied
that there is sufficient material in the
case for a long, tedious and doubtful law
suit, which will necessarily result in the
suspension of work on the road.
They therefore advise to avoid litiga-
tion, by compromising with the con
tractors, which they recommend shall
be done by paying to Messrs. Creswell
& Co. $75, 900 to release their contract,
and So, 700, being one-half interest upon
the sum deposited to the credit of the
President
This recommendation of the Execu-
tive Committee is confirmed by the fact
that the company was not in condition
to deposit the bonds, and thus comply
with their part of the contract.
