he was Governor, aMd hat Is Gought
his election would he the best thing Ior
h.s race; but that it would be at the sae-
rjtlce Of his life to render such decision
and remain in the State.
The Governor yather made light of the
idea of Wright's life being in danger, and
,, told him that as far as thst was concerned
he would guarantee him protection; t;
adding, that when he was forced to leave
the State, he Governor Hampton, would
leave also. Wright then eaid that he
thought 1t safest for him TO leave fo- @
while ut least after rendering such de-
cision. The Governor said there was ne
objection TO his doing that II he wished
TO.
Wright, then, after somewhat awk.
| ward pause, said he had no money to get
! out of the State. Wherc:pon the Gov
ernor reminded him that he had promised
to pay the judges salaries that had be-
| come due since his inauguration, and
that consequently there wac two months
pay due him which he could get IL he
wanted. Wright then said that he de-
sired to send Governor Hampton O COPY
! of the paper which charged that he
tHrightJ fad sold his decision 20 the
Democrats for 100000. The Governor
| replied that that was easily proved TO be
false, and that he need not worry himself
about it.
The Governor added that he had been in
formed that several Senators could be pur.
chased to declare in his favor and remove
all difficulties in this way, and that he
had replied that those Senators might 20
to the devil that he had been el0cted as
| reform candidate, and intended to have
| nothing to do with any bribery.
Wright then withdrew, first calling by
Comptroller Hagood's office aud drawing
his two months pay. He slipped out the
| side way TO avoid q mob of HegIoes con-
gregated in the streets in front of tho ex-
ecutivc chamber.
Unsolicited ON Governor Hampton's
part. he returned to the consultation room
of the court, and Immediately signed tho
order, first begging that it be not made
public until he had time to get out of the
State. Judge Willard assented to this,
and Immediately went into the court
having the order in hie possession, and
announced adjournment until the next
| day. All that evening Wright was in
company with Radical negroes-W Whip
per and others of that ilk. On the 2sth,
when he is supposed to have been in
dulging in mature deliberation," and
writing that twenty page opinion, he
found time to peranbulate the streets at
different portions of the day in company
with the same gang.
| On yesterday he was seen OH the streets
up to 10 o'clock A. M., two hours before
the message and opinion was sent to
Justice Willard. lie has not been seen
since that time, ana only the select few
know of his whereabouts. Some
surmise that he is in Washington, and
good authorities unite in such state
ments. Others think he 10 still here con-
cealed.
