| The San Francisco correspondent
of the Stockton Mail, gives the fol-
lowing account of the row between
Mackev and Fair:
A rumor is current here that SEN
ator James G.. Fair intends starting
q bank in the building on Montgom-
cry street which he lately purchased
from the Real Estate Association.
He does not propose entering into
the banking business because he is
enamoured Of it, but his idea is to
get even with his late partners
Messrs Flood and Mackay, for
having metaphorically kicked him
out of the Nevada bank. He
thinks that by starting a rival COZ
Germ he can seriously injure Their
business. He is full of bitterness
against his former partners h,-
cause he thinks they over reached
him. thing which hurts his pride.
! for he has an idea that there are
: few. if any. so sharp as himself /,
may interest ,cur readers to bear
how the Bonanza kings manaped
tn get rid If their unpleasant part-
ner. The relations between Fair
and Mackay have fer wears been
much strained. their mutual III will
srowiug greater year by year until
Mackay concluded that he would
no ionrcr be- associated 10 business
with 4 man he disliked and dis
pissed. 1t is said that the first
coolness between the two partners
WAS caused by fair calling on
Mackav for his good offices to ret
him out Of sundrv scrapes, which
the Senator. as he is wont, managed
to get himself into. Mackav re-
sponded, as he always does when
appealed to.
MACKAY's GENEROSITY.
Tho sfronra, f. trait in Mr. MacE-
avs nature is generosity He is
modern Timon Of Athens in that
respect. and of course he responded
To Mr.. Fairs appeal with prompt
ness and energy. and not only res
cued Fair from several unpleasant
predicaments, iHto which his pas
sions and folly had led him. but
when Mrs. Fair, very foolishly de-
pending on the reports made by
her husband Of the prospects in
the Sierra Nevada mine, pur-
chased large quantity of stock of
that corporation, and made a loss
of all the money she had, and
about SIT GOO more than she had
Mackay came to her rescue. Fair
wa. awav. and had he been here, it
j. very doubtful whether he would
have Helped her out of her Difficult
ties judging from her subsequent
behavior toward her. Mr.. Mackay
loaned her the money and it was
charged to her on the books of the
bank in Virginia City, pending
Fairs return from Washington
When he did return he Paid
Mackay the amount; but it was
like gall and wormwood TO his soul.
The idea of the money, which he
loved better than his wife, his
children, or himself, which he
would not have bartered for an as
suranee of everlasting happiness in
the next world, going to pay losses
on stocks.
FAIR S TREATMENT OF HIS WIFE. |
The idea Of his paying losses on
stocks under any circumstances
made him fairly gnash bis teeth in
impotens rage, and he vented his
spleen by speaking Of Mrs Fair in
the most scandalous manner
snecrins at the idea Of man pay
ing s17.GNO for any woman for mere
friendship. In speaking of Mackay |
he could not find language to vent
his feelings. There was nothing
he could say vile enough to express
his malace. This was not alone
because Mr.. Mackay had loaned |
Mrs. Fair the money, which he had |
to pay back, but he was slnarting !
under the load Of obligations
Mackay had heaped upon him. !
There is a class Of men who cannot
bear to think that they owe graft
