Track.laying on the Chester and Lenoir
Narrow Gauge Railroad, under the contract
of Messrs. Fry and Deal, was commenced,
with full force, at the intersection with the
Airline road, last Monday. The iron is
being rolled and delivered from the mills
near Chattanooga, Tenn, as rapidly as it is
required and the shipments made over the

We learn that several thousand dollars Of
the bonds issued in aid of the road, have been

increasing. From present indications, we
have every reason for believing that the road
is now in fair way for early completion

many weeks new outlet for freight and trav.

conform and then 70 avoid the imputation Of luke
warmne5, they cnGe3y0r TO prove their sincerity by
Out!Oing their comrades in violence. The Same men
head this movement who Jed the STATE into secession.
They have thoroughly revived the policy Of intimi-
dation. Tall, of The blacks being ntimnatcd! Il 10
throurht the intimidation of the whites that the in
limitation of the blacks Is rendered possible. The
election is to be carried on the Mississippi pldn; and
a part of that plan, b, it remembered, was the in
timidaiiou OF the whites. Wade Hampton is as
much q MississPpian "a South CarOliDian. 1t Is
true that hc is descended from Caroliniaus famous IN
the Revolution that hs ancestors have always iVed
i'm this State, that he himself is n citizen OF
this state, and that the family homestead is in
the CITY of Columbia. But besides the immense es-
tates he owned in South Carolina before the war, he
had vast demesnps in Mississippi and other Southern
states. This viii not seem surprising when ! men
ion the fact that be possessed 10000 acres OF land
in fee simple and owned 200 slaves Now the war
took from him the bulk of his property But 50
much remained after all his losses that ne is at this
day the WcallMtsJ man III Ihe c"u'h'i" '''''''
Most of his property now. however is in Mississippi
He has abandoned by far the larger part Of his an
ccstral estates i'm South Carolina. Though his home
is in Columbia he spends half his time on his pauta-
tons in Mississippi He has one plantation there on
which 500 of his former slaves are emplOycd-so
well has he been able 10 keep mp this old plantation
plan while the small farm system has been becon-
ing well nigh universal. The fact ! desire to call
attention to ia this: Hampton was in Mississippi
prior 10 the last election there which the Democrats
carried by the shotgun policy. Tho similarity OF
the methods employed by the Democrats in the can
yass going on here now. with Hampton as their
leader. forces mo to the conclusion that tho expert

sioner Martins letter 10 what occurred IN the Board

tiOn to the issue OF stock for Park Improvements He
had been very busy, and had been obliged TO attend 10
moro important business President William H. Martin
Of the Department of Public Parks said, In conversation
with a TRIBUNE reporter: Controller Green has dons
all in his power to interfere with and clog the workings
Of the Department OF Parks since he has been ont Of
hrself. In regard to his last performance before
the Board of Estimate and Apporonmcnt in regard
the issue OF bonds the law gives authority 20 the depart
ment to expend certain sums of money, and the Con.
tr0er is required 70 issue bonds TO pay for the work
DONE Notice was given to the Controller to issue bonds
to the amount OF 100000 and II he prefers not 10 issue
them il Will make 40 difference to the department Tho
money spent allotted by the Legislature FOR the Con-
structOn account" and the department does rs part
when 70 has the work done, ccrtes the bills and sends
them to the Controller. We don't whore or how 10
gets the money he may obtain IL from the Board OF Is
innate and Apporoumeutif he chooses Hemust pay tho
bills and it defense for him TO say that he has
issued the bonds. He recently undertook to say in
tain case that not having issued these bonds he would
not pay but the Corporation Counsel sad that it
nonsense 10 Try TO make such u point lie cannot I'M
pede our legal mower TO eXpend the money, ara VII 10
Obliged 10 make tae payments. Al t1e meethg 81 Tho
under perfectly false pret nse that 10 had ANYTHING 10
do win the subject, talAed about the department
suuaudcring money. There no possible connection
between ths and the issue of bonds for The Issuing f.
provision Of law by which the Controller IS 10 pay tho
bills certified by the department, and does hot IN any
WV control expenditures"
The fact Is, Mr Martin continued. 81 am very glad
thar he has at last put himself in @ position where ne

slandercd tde department. IN private conversation,
never making any deGte statement hut combining HIM
self to general allegations and nsuuai0ns. Now lODo
force him 10 make single charge against the depart
ment 10 show q single in which money has been
recklCssy wasted squandrred; TO prove that there
have been changes for the m the administration
OF the department. viii show anl prove tnat the
Of tic department las been Of late, and is being now,
done half the eXpense that 30 per cent less is
auired than under the old administration when Ar
