How fir hive sl1cccGdclA rcfiIins for
he'pcorlc 10 decide. The first action,
which. out of my regular ciur$c OF ,lutic<,.
ISdccm it incumbent upon me to take,
WAS the prevention or,hc circulation ofthc
Blue Ridge scrip. This, ! was repeatedly
told by the Governor, some one WAS going
to do; but after waiting until almost too
ia,tc, | learned that the, action Of the
Governor vas simply FOR the purpose of
forcing John j. Patterson, the President
OF the company, TO l:iy certain claims
which IIc held against The roa,l in the
shape Of note OF the company, which he
procured in Il way not likely to add to
the reputation Gfan honest man. Waiting,
;,s have heretofore said until almost
too late, for some one TO take this matter
into the courts, finally Instituted the
necessary proceedings, with the sanction
Of the Governor. After proceedings had
been commenced and the usual necessary
inducements been offered his Exccllcncy,
an effort was made by hmsclfnnd others
interested, to induce me to withdraw the
suit. Ten thousand dollars in cash was
offered me by orc party the day that the
case came into court and an indirect
offer of $4,000 in scrip was subsequently
made by another party, in case | would
consent to withdraw the suit. This, I, OF
course, refused and the matter has been
bone Of contention between lis ever
since.
An effort WAS made soon after the adj
jeurnmcnt of the Legislature, and cont;ii-
ucd for some two or three months, to in
ducc me to levy special tax to pay the
interest upon the entire bonded debt OF
the State, legal and illegal, to be collect
cd Immediately This ! refused, although
an induccmcnt Of $4,000 in, cash was
offered me, to either levy the tax or re
sign my position for the purpose ofallov
ing DR.. Ncaglc to make the levy; and
at the came time, | was Informed that
Governor Scott had promised DR.. Ncagle
to remove me, in case refused to make
the levy; ! again declined to comply
with their wishes.
Now, n second effort has been lnado t1
force me to levy Il tax to pay the intcrc
upon the fraudulent debt Of the Statc,anG
to include levy of three mills upon tho
dollar to redeem S450,000 of the Blu,
Ridge scrip one quarter of the entir,
