THE BLUE RIDGE SCRIP.
The Case Postponed. Until to-day--
Frightfal Cost OF tho Legislative ses.
sion--A Ton OF Due-BIlls Still Out
The Allegations Against Treasurer
Parker.
ESPECIAL TELEaRAM TO THE NEws.)


COLOMBIA, July 10.
The case Of Auditor Gary va. Treasurer
Parker, which involves among other things
the validity of the act authorizing the issue of
revenue bond scrip to the Blue Ridge Bail
road, was not argued to-day as expected on
account of the absence of Judge Willard. It
will be heard tomorrow. Judge Magrath
will represent Mr.. Wesley, OF New York, who
has advanced three hundred thousand dollars
upon the bond scrip as collaterals. Messrs.
Chamberlain and Melton will represent Treas
urer Parker, and Messrs. Pope and Haskell
will represent Auditor Gary.
Parker has lied his affidavit In aid Of the
proceedings, as ordered by Judge Willard. II
ls q volumlnous document, very much In the
nature of an answer or defence. he main.
tains the validity OF the bond scrip act, and his
rights, as we'll as duty, to issue under its
authority. he claims to have paid out five
hundred Thousand dollars In money for the
legislative expenses Of the last session, and
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars In
due-bills on the treasury. But even this vast
amount of eight hundred and fifty thousand
dollars does not cover all; for there are un-
told numbers of psy-certiacates and orders
signed by Speaker Moses and Lieutenant
Governor Ransler, one Of them being for the
sum OF six thousand dollars, which have not
been settled In any way, and are still out
standing. In addition to this, the public
printing amounted to four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, the larger part of which is
still unpaid. Important developments are ex'
pected from the case.
The plaintiffs attorneys allege with conf
dence that 1t can be shown that Parker has
paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars
without any appropriations and In plain viola
ton OF law.
The taxpayers surely ought to be repre-
sented In the case. The people are asking
where is the executive committee Of the Tax
payers Convention!

gives unqualified satisfaction to the Conserva
tives here. The only antl.Greeley Democrat

Governor Hoffman disputed Mlssouris promise
to give Greeley the largest majority of any
State In the Union, and said that New York's
majority would be larger than Mlseouri's total
vote. he also expressed his. regret that there
had been any division of vote here. He knew
that those who did not vote for Horace Gree
lev we're acting conscIentiously, but he de-
sired to appeal to them. New York lisa DEM
ocratic State. It had more than four hundred
thousand Democratic voters, and. when these
were ready to sacrifice personal preferences
and pre,udices on the altar of the country, he
hoped their brethren elsewhere would do the
same. [Great eheers.l
After the chair had announced the result OF
the ballot, Wallace, of Pennsylvania, took
the platform and was received with cheers.
He eaid: I'm obedience to the decision of
public sentiment in bis State their delegation
had cast part of their vote against the
gentleman who, by, the ussgeS and customs Of
The Democratic party, is now the nominee for
the Presidency. They would yield 10 the
decision, and accept the result which the
great high court of appeal Of the party had
decided.p In conclusion, by instructions Of
bis delegation, he moved that the nomination
be made unanimous. [Wild cheers, music,

Presidential CONTESTS.
A Review OF Past Political Struggle

Those who take an interest In the Preslden-
tlal elections, from Washington to Grant, Will
find brief review of them below. The purity
of the ancient order of things with US, and
the general quiet in the early contests, except
when the election of Jefferson was thrown
into the House and Burr made Yice-Pres!dent,
the new era of Monroe, all contrast strangely
with the turbulence which from time to time
has since prevailed:
Five periods In our political history are
thus summed up:
/. The Washingtonian or Federal period oil
twelve years, including the administration. Of
Washington and John Adams, ending IN lSou;
Q. The J-ffersonian or old Republican period
of twenty years, embracing Jefferson, Madison
and frat four years of Monroe, ending In 1870:

Monroe to the first election OF jackson, enuing
