There is no report of the lost joint
resolution having been found. We
doubt whether any industrious search
has been instituted. The question
arises, will the prosecution ordered by
the General Assembly be stihed? And
~i!l there be my investigation into The
suspicious circumstances of the loss OF
the bill? Republicans who value their
good name, who have any pluck in
them, and who do not mean to be for
ever compromised, who scorn compli.
city with such infamies, ought to take
steps to ferret out this startling, this
hideous iniquity. Will they do it? If
they do not. they will be held as suspi.
| ciously complaisant towards the villains
OF their party.
TnE SOUTHERN SECURITY Cos1pASY.-
The Southern Railway Security Com
pany, an association OF capitalists, who
control seven important railroads in the
South, has, up to this time, kept its
chief Office ip the city of New York. 1t
IS now to be removed to Columbia,
which will thus become the financial
centre of the organization. We are
pleased to learn that Col. J. 3. Palmer
has been elected President, and will
have charge Of the financial operations.
We congratulate our community upon
this change i'll the headquarters of the
company, and especially upon the ap-
pointment Of gentleman so capable
and accomplished as Col. Palmer to the
position Of President. Colonel r. Il.
Bridgers, of Wilmington, has been
chosen Vice-Presdent and general ma
nager, gentleman of fne executive
ability and large experience.
Bound TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW. Many
OF the visitors dancing attendance in
the Governors ante-room, few days
since. will vividly recolleot blonde
young gentleman, with huge side
whiskers and killing moustache, soft,
loyc.lit blue eyes, and erinni,g way to
the tune OF several thousand dollars,
seeking IN interview with his Excel
lency. Puuctually at the hour of 10
NJ, this gentleman, (who, by -the-way,
happens to hail from the land that gave
birth to Maryland, my Maryland, ~
mado his appearance, and despatched
the Private Secretary with his card; an
hour rolled by, and no invitation came
to "Walk in, SIR so another card was
sent in the same direction; half an hour
elapsed, and another went the same
way. In fact, this was kept up, at an
interval OF thirty minutes, until near 4
z. NJ, without intermission,) when the
geutleman's cards ran out. Not wish.
ing 10 oe OutuOne, communication
was sent to "his Excellency" to please
return the cards, SO that the sender
would have supply to work upon.
This capped the climax, and the cheer.
ing words fell npon the ear, 'The Go
vernon will see you" Perseverance will
accomplish anything, and those wish
ing to have an interview with his Excel
luncy can take this lesson and govern
themselves accordingly; even if it is to
collect lille LiH.
