In Richmond, operating In the interest OF MI.
Stewart and, seemingly Of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company, which, In the event OF
the extension OF the lapsed charter, was 10 build
the road from Fredericksburg to the Potomac river
Stewart authorized segar to unite with Lincoln TO
secure the desired legislation, and the two did fora
time cooperate to that end Segar stayed IN Rich
mOnd some ten weeks explaining the merits OF the
proposed measure, and having been some twenty
and years a member OF the Leg stature and an
ardent advocate OF the internal improvements OF his
State, finally, by explanations TO Individual men,
bers and written and printed arguments, and by
correspondence with Thomas A. Scott President OF
the Pennsylvania Central Company, he succeeded IN
securing the passage Of the bill. The general
impression seems to be that his Efforts chiefly
secured the passage Of the bill for the recharter.
While segar was operating for the success of the
measure Lincoln accepted and acknowledged his
enicient service in the premises. After II became
apparent that the efforts Of segar had put the sue
cess OF the measure beyond doubt, Lincoln became
indifferent and set up on his own hook, along with
a Mr. c. y. Bundy, Of Richmond. for the purdose,
II is sald OF monopozing TO those two the whole OF
fund which was In reserve TO pay the fees OF the
agents and attorneys VINO might put the Dill
through. Segar thought no detected the purpose,
ana finding that u large amount OF odiun had gath
around the proposed measure on account OF LIN
coin and some OF his associates notified leading
member OF The Senate that he had dissolved all con-
nectlon with these parties, and regarded himself
only in the light or friend OF his State In matter
OF the utmost moment TO her and her Interests, so
that his EFFORTS in behalf OF great scheme OF state
interest might be separated from all sordid con-
nection and be more likely to succeed. After Mr..
Scgar had given much time and earnest energy to
the subject Mr.. Lincoln addressed to NJ. Stewart
many letters not only deprecatng his tSegarsl SER
vices but grossly derogatory OF his private character
styling him. I'm one OF his letters, as "that villain
segar,r and accusing HIM OF drunkenness and false
hood. The affair has caused good deal Of excite
ment here, as both the parties are well known and
have hosts OF friends.
