G. G., SCoTT, ESQ
Dear Sir In response to your request toi
me to prepare a statement to be laid before
the board of directors. to be convened at an
early day, have to say that the date required
for The purpose of ofmaking even an approxi-
mate estimate of the amount and value OF
work performed and materials delivered to
the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad are
almost totally wanting, tor the reason that
have never been furnished with duplicates OF
the proiies, maps or anything else. from the
Office of Mr. Fisher chief engineer, although
polite requests have been made by Inc for the
same on more than one occasion; nor have
been called upon since July. 1870, to examine
and approve the estimates made by the said
chief engineer, Mr.. Fisher having found
means to avoid submitting his work for my
inspection and approval, as the terms of his
contract if strictly enforced, would require
him 70 ITO so. and it must now become appa-
rent to the most inexperienced OF your col
leagues, that to this neglect TO require strict
compliance with the terms of the contract, Is
almost entirely due 10 the present Darrass
ed condition of the companys affairs For
this am in no way responsible. for You Will
testify that have given YOU aud the DoarI
of directors, repeated warning of the natural
and inevitable result Of the policy OF erpedt-
ency that has been pursued. In giving you
the estimate which follows, | think that
could do no les. than to place on record the
above justification Of myself l have faith
fully addressed myself to the task of compil-
ing, from such sources as were accessible 10
me, the following approximate estimate OF tue
amount and value of the work done upon
your road up to the time of its suspension, and
think it may be relied upon as sufficiently. APP
proximate for the purposes you have In view;
| first estimate the entire cost OF the road
completed and equipped, to be as follows;
1853 miles Of railway. including, clearing
struet"re and engineering at s23 900. ss63t. 900

This sum divided by the above estimated

ascertain the pro rata values of all work per-

on the road since last November may fairly
be credited to the impetus given II, up to that
time, by the board OF directors over which
you presided. Since, the parties who tlIen
assumed control have furnished little or mo-
tnlnS to continue the WORK. l therefore con-
slider that all the work done, up to the time
OF its suspension, Is the direct result oi the la
Dor of yourself and your associates before re-
signing control of 1t. and as the object Of this
investigation is to ascertain whether You we're
safe in making certain advances of securities

it just and proper that you should have the
benefit of this view OF the case. The amount
of work now performed. including materials

Special Dispatch to the Republican,
New YORK, Aug. 80.

CHASE MOVEMENT
1t has been ascertained from authori.
tative sources that the Warmoth delega-
ton, now here from New Orleans, appa-
rently for the purpose of seeing Grant,
are really here to ascertain if there is any
chance tor chase movement here next
year. MIR. Conway, the Louisiana State
superintendent of education, states that
the negroes in the South are wild for
Chase and so are any number of Repub-
licans. Mr.. Conway is rather pleased
with public sentiment in the North in re-
gard to Chase, and noticed particularly
that in numerous quarters the report
from Virginia of the chief Justices re-
stored health had been received with
great delight. 1t is not unlikely that an
informal meeting of Chase men will be
held in Washington Immediately after the
November election, but before the as
sembling of congress. There are other
straws here in New York shown that
the Chase furore may break out again
and that sooner than Is generally anticl-
pated

The Democratic Trouble.

VIM. M. Cory, who is editor of the Gin
cinnati Conmoner, and who is one of the
most Influential members of his party in
Ohio, says that Valandgham has become
Republican, and that the Democratic
party will not endorse bis views nor that
of any other "blatherskite." We have
already quoted the opinions of the st, Louis
Republican, and now we have the views of
ex-President johnson. No matter what
other opinion we may have of Mr.. John
son, we are bound to say that he has great
influence in Tennessee. He is little more
outspoken than Vallandigham. The latter
tries to make the people believe that the
Democratic party will not overturn the
amendments, but Mr.. Johnson thinks they
should. Here is what he said in speech
at Knoxville, Tenn, May 81:
We will have prosperity when the country is
we'll governed. And to this end we ought to
keep the rude hand of the despoiler Off the
constitution, come from what source it may
If the constitution has accumulated improper
provisions it should be corrected as pointed
out by the principles of that sacred instrument.
Submits IT until the time comes when the
constitution can be amended and the odious
provisions stricken out.
Then that other distinguished Democrat.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, in his speech at Au-
gusta on Thursday night last, said:
If | say, 'sGocd night, my friends, go to
your homes" and a Congressional investigat-
ing committee happened to be within hearing,
its members would swear that directed YOU
to go off and join the Ku Klux. daughter
and applause.l Filled with that jealousy
which springs from the knowledge of their in.
feriority, and of the justice of your preten.
sions, and conscious OF broken covenants and
violated constitution, they mistrust every
movement, and tremble with fear when they
think that right may again prevail. Tap,
plause.1 But wrong cannot ALWAYS be tri.
umphant. l will say nothing, and you must
do nothing, even though tyranny Expresses
grievously upon you. Forbear for a
season., and a day. will come when
may some of you live to see it, but it is
surely coming. [Applause.l He who reigns
above and lives always will see that Justice is
done. He will not allow the wicked to always
remain in power, nor the righteous to be op-
pressed. We can wait till that day comes, and
in the meantime be quiet. TITS an old and wise
saying that good biting dog never banks
much. If we wait patiently, a sense of justice
will yet return to the people of the United
States, or an opportunity will come when our
rights can be gained, and not only our rights
the rights of the South-but the rights of all
the people; the rights which were fought for
and obtained at the point of the sword in the
first revolution.
"That day" alluded to by Mr.. Davis, is
also the day towards which the eyes and
hopes of Mr.. Valandigham are turned.
Mr.. Davis truly says that he "may not live
to see it" and his Ohio friend can have
the same consolation. The Democratic
party cannot achieve victory SO long as
Vallandigham manages its Northern wing
and Davis and johnson its Southern
forces.
