Impudent Misrepresentation.

A Radical paper says the State gives the
Blue Ridge Ring sl,Soo,ooO in Bills Receiv.
able and cancels a liability Of 81. 600, O0O,
and, as the Bills Receivable are worth about
80, the State really buys up ita bonds at
thirty cents on the dollar. This is impu-
dence with vengeance. The Blue Ridge
bill provides that the. Bills Receivable, in
question, shall be taken in payment of all
tares, except the special tax for the payment
Of interest on the public debt. Whatever
the Bills Receivable may be worth, the State
must tax. them at par. 1t therefore gives
the Blue Ridge Ring sl,sOO.0 to cancel
o questionable obligation in the shape Of a
guarantee; which obligation, II the State be
liable, would not become due until the ma
turity Of the bonds, many years hence. And
il the State pays the debts of the road, it is
surely entitled to take the franchises, road.

which it has a mortgage 70 secure it from

the Ring demand their ST, 300, 900. Yet the
Blue Ridge bill expressly releases the mort
gage, and gives the Ring the road, freed
from every claim, as wsa as nearly two mil
lions OF money. That the bill is huge
swindle is sufficiently shown by the fact that
its passage cost the Ring in the neighbor'
hood of two hundred thousand dollars.

coal for his home in Greeley, COL, Tue a.s-
tance being fourteen miles. scarcely hau Nc
started when a tremendous snow STORM anu
oale came on. It was soon literally impossi-
ble to see. so thick were the fine fakes, ana
the horses became almost paralyzed Win
fear. The darkness and cold increased every
moment, and the gale changed into a hurri-
cane. Leaving his team at length, FISK en-
deayored to reach a place OF shelter
on foot. His strength was failing rap
idly, and his clothes were frozen
stiff. He managed to walk an hour
longer, when dizziness came on, and his
brain reeled like the storm. Then'he began
digging hole in the deepest drift he could
find. After working long time the ground
was reached, aud then drawing the robe over
his head he waited for the snow to bury him.
The wind did it's work well, and In an hour
eighteen inches of snow covered his roof OF
far. All night long he suffered intensely, ana
only escaped freezing by continually moving
his muscles. At daylight he arose and drag
ged his frosted limbs in the direction OF the
town, at the rate Of mile an hour, and with
the thermometer eighteen degrees below zero.
At last, says the Greeley Tribune, "he reached
his fathers gate, and staggered to the door.
Then there was q rush and scream, and the
next instant black and bloated face was

paroxysmal ma'adies which are characterized by

and 1t Is curious fact that In many parts OF the
country where they are prevalent, other diseases,
that bear no general resemblance to fever and
ague, or remittens fever, assume periodic type.
Thus, in many kections infested with chills and
fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysterla, diarrhea,

ever, are radically unjust, and the passage
of the one cannot justify the passage OF the
other. Two wrongs du not make right
We think that the people may rest assured
that the Greenville bill will not pass. The
Blue Ridge bill went through both houses by
an almost unanimous vote, because nearly
every member Of the Legislature was bribed
to support it. And as the Greenyille bill, 80
far as we know, stands upon it's merits, it
may be expected TO die the death which
awaits all important measures in which the
members of the Legislature are not pecuni.

An Extraordinary Proceeding.

The resolution adopted by the House o.
Representatives on Saturday, ordering an
Inquiry into the whole matter OF the trial oi
the case of BEDDING and vile against the
South Carolina Railroad, is direct irhpeach-
ment OF the judicial integrity Of Judge Gra-
ham, whose "bearing, instructions and
'srulings" are declared to have raised strong
apprehensions that corruption and bad
''iaith" were practiced against the plaintiff.
We do not suppose that Judge Graham
has any reason to shun investigation, and
we know very little OF the merits OF Red
ding's case, but it is an extraordinary pro-
ceedlng to fly to the Legislature with o
rIgmarole OF charges against q judge merely
because jury insists upon rendering YER
dict for the defendant.
Neither Redding nor his friends appear to
be willing to await the result Of their appeal
to the Supreme Court. Redding's attempt to
murder one Of the South Carolina Railroad
employees on the morning that the verdict
was announced, will be tried at the next term
OF the Court Of General Sessions. His disin-
terested friends take the other tack, and
endeayor to convert an ordinary civil suit
into grave political question. They prate
about "a denial OF Justice" What justice,
we ask, can there be in South Carolina il a
defeated suitor, virtually ignoring the maans
of redress which the law gives him, may
reverse the decision Of the jury by making
an er parte statement to the Legislature OF
the State?

The Greenville Bill.

Governor Scott vetoed the Blue Ridge
Swindling bill on Saturday, and the bill was
Immediately passed over the veto in both
houses. This was done in accordance with
the understanding believed to exist between
the Executive and the Legislative Ring. 1t
was thought best to put Governor Scott in q
position to declare that he did what he could
to defeat the swindle, and, as the bribes
given the members OF the House and Senate
paid for all the voting which might be neces-
sary to make the bill law, there was no
danger that the Ring would suffer any hurt.
Governor Scott points with pride to his Pick
wickian veto; the members OF the Leglsla-
ture pocket their bills receivable; the Ring
secure tbeir bill, and, for the .beggarly sum
OF S13, 900, obtain entire control OF an un-
encountered railroad which costs the people
of the State nearly four millions OF money.
It worked like charm, and go pleased
are the members of the Legislature with
their success that they are already discuss
ing another job of the same description as
that which has enabled them to pay their
board bills without recourse to Mr.. Treasurer
Parker. This second railroad scheme is o
bill to authorize the issue OF million
dollars in bills receivable to redeem the guar
anteed bonds OF the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad. Bad as it is, the last bill is better
than the first. The Blue Ridge bill gives
the Ring $1,000, 900 to pay of debts which
do not exceed one-hali that amount; but the
Greenville bill gives the company one mil.
lion, in exchange for guaranteed bonds to
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1872-03-04
That PIckwiekian Veto!

Governor Scott makes some strong points
in his message yetoing the Blue Ridge bill;
but he omits the damaging facts that the
Ring receive about double the amount Of the
debts which they are to pay, and that the
State, besides furnishing the means for dis
charging the debts OF the road, reliDquishes
the State lien upon the road, which lien was
to secure the State against loss in the event
that, as eudorser Of the Blue Ridge bonds,
the State was called on to pay the liabilities
of the road. The State, under the Blue
Ridge bill, pays every dollar Of the debt OF
the road, and abandons all claims upon the
property and franchises Of the company.
In one particular the veto message Of Gov
ernor Scott is sufficiently satisfactory. AS it
is evident that the Executive Is not care

at The NEWS any time aince the first Blue
Ridge bill was introduced, he would not have
the hardihood to say that 'the entire press
t'of the State has been silent" on the SUBJ
iect. Governor Scott knows very we'll that
the Legislature passed the ILL by "more
ethan three-fourths vote" because money
was layisbly used to secure it's passage. Why
some of our contemporaries have touched
the bill 30 lightly we do not pretend to ex-

has discharged its duty towards the people.
Returning to the main question, We ask
Governor Scott to give some practical turn
to his very pretty words. Mr.. Attorney
General Chamberlain and Governor Scott
can smash this Blue Ridge Ring II they are
30 inclined. This will help "the victims OF
misplaced confidence" as Governor Scott
dubs the bondholders, far more than score

The City and the Road.

This paper does not ask the city to issue
it's own stock for the purpose OF buying
stock In the South Carolina Railroad. We
believe that it would be better to take that
extreme step than to allew the South Caro-
lima Railroad to pass into the hands OF q
clique who will work against the interests OF
Charleston. But we are Of opinion that a
transfer OF investment by the city, involving
no loss OF security and no addition to the
public debt, would give the people the pro-
lection they require. This is what we adVo-
cale al this time.

President wadley and the Lease.

AS we did not suppose that the President
and Directors of the Central Railroad OF
Georgia, in their official capacity, we're COZ
nected with the effort to secure possession OF
the South Carolina Railroad, we are not in
the least surprised that Mr.. Wadley should
deny that any such project has been con-
ceived or entertained by his Board OF Di-
rectors or by him as President. The princi-
pal purchasers OF the South Carolina Rail-
road stock are Directors of the Central
Road, and whether they acted as self-ap-
pointed agents of the road, or only intended
to sell out 10 thai. road whenever they had
fairly obtained control OF The South Carolina
Railroad, matters very little 10 the Charles
ton public. Before US is the broad fact that q
clique ole striving 10 beg, borrow or buy o
majority OF the stock OF the road, and that
their purchases are not made with any view
to The benefit of Charleston. This is oil that
we care to know. And it is enough to spur
the people on 10 fresh efforts to retain i'm
movably, in the City and State, control
ling majority OF the stock of the railroad
which is our stay and strength, and main
means OF existence. The following is MIR.
Wadley's card, as printed in the Savannah
Neacs of Saturday:
"CENTRLL RAILROAD BANK,
SAVANNAH, Ga, March l, 1872.
81 have recently learned through friend,
what seems 10 be confirmed by On article in
your Issue of this day, that It is still believed
by many persons in Augusta and Charleston
that the Central Railroad Company is in some
way connected with an effort 10 secure the
possession or control Of the South Carolina
Railroad. AS these Impressions are so persist
emily retained, 1t is, perhaps, due to the stock
holders of both companies that should notice
them.
"The simple fact Is that no such project has
been conceived or entertained, either by the
Board of Directors of this Company, or by me
as lis President.
"Tne first information on the subject reached
the Board and the President through the
Charleston newspapers, and this was only met
with the expression of astonlshment that a
rumor so entirely unfounded had taken such
possession of the public mind in the City of
Charleston. WM. NJ. WADLEY, President"
