Board of Directors and have no doubt he made
it as affording the easiest and cheapest mode OF
carrying into effect the resolution of the stock
holders.
The above are the facts, and all the facts upon
which the false and malicious charges against
Judge Mackey, and the President and Directors
of the G. 4 T.. N. G. R. r. Company, in this con
nection, have been gotten up; and these are tne
facts substantially as gave them to GOV. Cham-
berain, and therefore conclude that either the
Governor has misunderstood me, or the reporter
for the Union-Heraid has misunderstood him. 1t
is not impossible that the Governor was mised
Herald, by the bold and unscrupulous assertion
contained in the 18th of the charges against Judge
Mackey-that of corruptly endeavoring to pro-
cure brbe Of two thousand dollars from the Z.
Il L. N. G. r. R. Company for his declslon mace e
in the Glenn case. Having been entirely satisfied
of the utter fasity of the main CHARGE he was not
sufficiently careful as to the particulars.
So much, Mr.. Editor, for this matter in regard
to which have written calmly, candldly ana as
passionately, and with a full knowledge OF the
with clear sense of my responsibility TO In Inc
Company which in part represent, and to the
community in which live.
End. 4 word in reference to your article OF the
23rd March, and have done. Your criticism on
the published card of Dr. Davega as President OF
the company, is, in my judgment, unnecessarily
harsh and severe. AS to the photography OF the
card, the errors are those of the copyst. nave
examined the original, and | assure you u VIII
stand the test of even the most rigid editorial
scrutiny. You speak of his card as an afhdaVlt;
You will at once perceive that it is not such, and
vet it's statements Just as true and reliable as
if sworn to.
The circumstances surrounding the President
at the time fully, warranted and justihed nm IN
issuing this card for not only was Judge Mackey
ruthlessly assailed, but his own reputation and
that of the members of his Board from York and
Chester was most seriously involved. thlnE
he would have been unworthy his position ana
false to high duty, had he remained silent.
The character of DIR. Davega, as President OF
our company, needs no vindication at my hands.
His conduct in the management of the AFFAIRS OF
the company is we'll known to the public SUI
flee it for me to say that, so far, 1t has Deen
an eminent success, and deserves, and Tor the
most part receives, the thanks and not the cen
shres of the community. His expenditures OF
the company's funds have always been reported
to the annual meetings of stockholders, and SUP
mitted to an investigation ofa committee ofstock,
holders, composed of practical business men, ana
these expenditures have invariably been approved
and sustained. This has always been regarded
as the best test of the propriety and correctness
of the accounts of any officer charged with dis
-sements of public funds. 1t is certainly better
than vague and idle rtlmor. Again. you 90 our
N. c. stockholders great injustice in saying that
they have not paid $4,000 in cashinto the treasury
of the company. I am not now prepared to say
county subscriptions; but this I can safely say,
that in the counties of Caldwell, Lincoln and Dal-
las e large amount Of grading has been done and
paid for by our N. C. stockholders, and very much
of this work has been, and is, now being paid Tor
out of the proceeds ofindividual subscriptions.
allowing me so much space in your columns,
1am very truly yours pp,cr
