TARDY JUSTICE.

In view of all the facts brought
out in the investigation of the claim
of Judge Thos. ] Mackey for SER
vices to the State of South Carolina.
it seems that the postponement oil
the matter to the next session of the
legislature is not only unnecessary,
but wrong. That he did the work
under contract, that the State re-
ceived the benefit of his services,
that the money has been set aside Tor
him, and would have been. paid then
had he been here to ask for it, are
facts that have been clearly establish
ed. Judge Mackey is now an old
man, and in his petition set forth that
his needs, more than his wishes,
impel him to ask for it now.
Judge Mackey's claim against the
State is supported by the testimony
of Governors Hampton, Hagood aud
Richardson and ex.Comptroller Gen.
eral Werner. as is shown in the fol
lowing letters

sentatives.
My Dear Sir: AS my views about
payment to Judge Mackey have been
asked, write few lines tc reiterate
what I expressed when Congress
passed the bill allowing payment for
rent of the Citadel Academy. ! am
still of the same opinion that the
work of Judge Mackey was useful
and influential, and that be should
receive his share of such amount as
was set aside by the Legislature to
pay Bouknight and himself.

You might ask more, but the State

amount. You have not claimed yours

you are only claiming the other half
