The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1874-04-01

- .As--co
Sneaker, I rise to state that l made !
that motion" His voice, being
more stentorian, could be heard
above the others, and he accord
ingly convinced those who heard
him that he very well ml<rrpre-
sented his County.
A few days after the adjourn
ment Of our grand Legislature
MEETING OF THE ATTACHES
Took place, because they had been
deprived of their pay. This meet
ing included all those who had
been employed by the Legislature
as body. OF course every one
desired to have his " say" concern
ing the question involved-namely'
the non-provision by the Leslsla-
ture for those who filed its subor-
dinate offices. During these very
serious deliberations, one OF the
speakers was interrupted by a COL
ored attachee with the remark,
"He amt no attachee! he amt no
attached" Upon application to
Treasurer CAnDozb they werein-
formed that, as usual, "there was
no money in the Treasury" He
also assured them that as soon as
funds were placed at his disposal
he would compensate them for
services rendered. There being
no other resort, they we're content
to fold their hands until the Treas
nrer should be enabled to imburse
them for their indispensable aid to
our Legislature.
VERY CURIOUS
And unaccountable proceeding
(from an honest standpont) is in
volyed in the loss of q resolution
passed by the General Assembly
and which only awaited the Gov
ernor's sanction to become law,
directing the Attorney-General to
institute proceedings against NILES
G. PARKER, former State Treas
urer, for over-issuing conversion
bonds. 1t appears that the suit
would involve various State Off
cials, and consequently it was very
convenient to lose the original copy
of the resolution. The Governor
and MAXWELL, of Horny, Chairman
, of Committee on Engrossed Acts
are each charged with completely
in this transaction and substrGct1on
and neither has as yet made {
satisfactory statement of the dis
appearance Of the Objectionable
measure which only awaited tn
signature of his Excellency to be
come a law. Your readers will re

!, All who understood the question
l at the time considered the neces
! sity for ca'ida!ing Act as an ack
: powledgement that they were
fraudulently issued. for the reason
that, if genuine, they would not
require such bolstering. AS the
Legislature succeeded in valida-
ting the conversion bonds over
issued, the Governor and his allies
are making a desperate attempt to
validate" PARKER.
AN IMPORTANT BODT
Met here on Wednesday last, EN-
bracing the corporators and stock
holders of the Spartanburg and
Ashville Railroad. The meeting
was held for the purpose Of organ
lzing a company under the charter
granted by the Legislature.
\ committee was appointed to
examine and report the amount of
capital stock subscribed-a certain
amount being required by the
charter. Hon. G. G.. NIE,nf1SeER
was chosen President of the Ccm-
pany, and an efficient Board of
Directors was also chosen. The
Directors have since held a meet
ing in Charleston, and transacted
the business entrusted to them. !
