SB W BBB i ii is is ii wi JO tUBRATED THE RAILROAD QUESTION. Speeches of Jndge Baffin, Hon. Geo. Davi, Col. . K, McKae and Sena tor Vance. Ealelgh Qbseryer. , , - The House of Commons was crowded last evehinff to hear the soeechea bv a A nnmjet ot Jlistinguished gentlemen on tne sale ot.tne .Western JVorth Carolina Railroad; The chairman of the com mittee on railroads, Gen; Jas. M. Leaeh, introduced Col. Thos. Ruffin and Hon. Georgw Dayis, who both delivered speeches which were graceful in style and masterly un their explanation of the provisions of the bill which was drawn by them. -CoL "Duncan K. Mo. Bae, In a si5ech of somalenfth, replied, opposing the bill. . .Senator B. Vance sroe. brJcfly, earnestly advocating the Col Rufiin, after a thorough explana tion of the part Mr. Davis and liimseif had taken in the redrafting of the bill, and after assuring his auditors that in so drawing it their highest aim and chief desire liad been only to benefit the State and fully protect and secure her interest, reviewed the legislation upon the Western road from the year of its inception to the prsent time. He went on to speak of the various bonds of the road issued, and discussed the rights of their holders. He said, in reply to the question of the title to the road, that the commission which years ago was appointed to examine into it, requested Chief Justice Smith to look into it and he had reported it good. Judge Merri mon had bought the road when sold and had then assigned his interest in it to the State, and this, the speakerar gued, he would not have done had not the title been good, for he would not have sold to the State a road without a title. Judge Ruffin said the first idea of himself and Mr. Davis was to convey the title of the State in the road to the parties, and the next idea was to make it obligatory upon them to complete both branches of it. In case they failed to do this, it was the aim of these gentlemen to see that the property came back to the State unimpaired in value: They refused to guarantee the title of the State to the road, lie spoke of section 3-ot the bill, where the word 'only" was objected to, and said the reason it was put there was because there was an outstanding debt for labor for ,;which there was a lien, and It wa"s only to get no. or mat nen tnax "oiiry was used He spoke of tlrat part of "section wuerem Mr. uest is autnonzea to pur chase the $850,000 .bonds at less than their face value, if he can cret them He asked would he not have the Dower to buy them-on the best terms he could, whether they were put in the bill or not f Every dollar they .saved in this way made them better able' to pay the 3550,000 still due. Every bit of work done but adds to the security and the value of the bonds, It is by some persons insisted that the liability in case they fail to build the road reverts to the State, and that. the 3850,000 might be foreclosed before me two lermim are reacnea. liut is tms so? Tbe bill provides that it shall be expressed in the bonds that un der no conditions shall the mortgage be foreclosed, and that if it comes back to the State it shall be subject to three liens, one for 3850,000, one for 3550,000, ana one lor work done upon the road from Salisbury to Paint Rock. A lore- closure can only be had after both stems or tne road are completed. The mort gage to secure the 3850,000 is not due until 1890 and there can be no foreclo sure before that time, and in five years before this time the contract must be performed. As to guarantees for the comDletion of the Ducktown branch, there is a deposit of 330,000 now and a like sum when they get the road. This thev for feit unless they begin work in two months from the passage of this act. Every mile they build from Asheville to Paint Rock, but adds to the surety, ior a ianure 10 complete causes a loss to mem or uie roaa. xnen every six months there is a required guarantee of $ju,ouo. Tne payment of the semi-an nual interest is amply guarded by the bill also. Then as to the idea that should the State have to take back the property it would be with an obligation to complete it to Ducktown. The fal lacy of this idea He demonstrated very clearly. The selection of the commis sion, consisting of Governor Jarvis, Treasurer Worth and Senator Vance, was then explained. Mr. Best's fair-. ness was spoken of, and, said Mr. Ruf fin, he it was who chose Vance, saying that North Carolinians could see that he chose a man in whom they all had confidence. In conclusion, Judge Ruffin reiterat ed his idea in drawing the bill, whieh was to serve his State as a true son. aid in the completion of a great work and introduce capital into the State. Mr. Davis next spoke and referred to the full explanation of Judge Ruffin. which covered the ground. He explain ed his personal connection with the bill, saying be and Judge Ruffin drew it as citizens who wished to do their full duty to their State. The matter of com pensation, even tor traveling expenses, they did not take into thought. He spoke of Mr. Best's fairness as a busi ness man, as evidenced by pis dealings with them, and spoke of his dealings in high terms. He said the bill does not warrant the title to the road, but only tje State's interest in the same. He went over all the points in the bill about whieii there were questions. Mr. MeRae, amid calls, came forward and spoke, beginning in an amusing style, bringing down the House several times; He spoke of the Best bill as the "Davis-Ruffin bill." He went on to say that he didn't think the people bad had a-fair chance on the bill, and that the haste shown was indecent. He saw lit tle difference between the new bill and the old one He discussed many points of the bill, opposing it and asserting that the State stood a chance of losing two valuable roads. He was not satis fied with the evidences of Mr. Best's financial ability. Senator Vance was called for and spoke very briefly. He said he favored tne proposition, with the condition that tbe road be completed, with his whole heart and soul. He made earnest re iri&rks, which were heard with special attention. Judge Merrimon was called for; but, owing to tbe4ateness of the hour, would not speak.

Jarvis, btovemor oj jyortn varolina, ana to the Honorable, the General Assembly of saia isiaie : I have the honor of submitting to you for and in behalf of Thomas Wallace and others, of the city of New York and elsewhere,, the following proposi tion for the interest of the State of North Carolina in and to the "Atlantic and North Carolina," the "North Caro lina," and the "Western North Caroli na Railroads, as follows : The said Thomas Wallace and his ai sociates will pay the State for its inter est in tne Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad the sum of two hundred thou sand dollars in cash : . And for its interest in the North Car olina Railroad they will liquidate at maturity the bonds issued by the State m aid ot the construction ot that road, amounting to two millions seven nun dred and ninety-oEour thousand dollars, or thereabouts: - And for its interest in the Western North Carolina Railroad, they will pay tne sum 01 nve nunarea ana but thou i jn , tKuiu uoiiars, in case. This purchase, if so made, is under stood to bestroject to an liens on said corporations, and the existing lease o tne JNortn Carolina naiiroaa. l am in formed that there is a judgment in the United States Circuit Court of two hundred and thirty-four thousand dol lars on the Atlantic and North Caroli na Railroad ; and a mortgage of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the Western North Carolina JKailroad on the latter of which the State is pay ing the interest. The said Wallace and his associates will indemnify the State against the payment of said mortgage lien of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the interest on the same. The payment of said sums of two hundred thousand dollars, and of fiye hundred and fifty thousand dollars shall be made to the Treasurer of the State upon the transfer of the interest of the State in said incorporations to said Wallace and his associates. Ample security, guaranteeing the State of North Carolina against the payment of the principal or further in terest on the said eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars of mortgage bonds of the Western North Carolina Railroad, shall be deposited with the said Treasurer, and shall so remain un til said bonds are paid, or until the State is discharged from all further lia bility thereon. The said Wallace and his associates will agree to complete the Western North Carolina Railroad from its pres ent terminus to Paint Rock, on or be fore the 3lst day of December, 1S81, for which satisfactory guarantees will be given. . The State of North Carolina shal grant a charter to said Thomas Wallace and ins associates, containing the con ditions and provisions usual in such acts of incorporation in the State of North Carolina, that shall enable them to consolidate, under one organization, the three railroads, in question, troni Morefread City to Charlotte, and via Salisbury fai Paint Rock. IF'fcheproposals are accepted by the State, the said Thomas Wallace and his associates will meet the duly authorized agents of the State of North Carolina without unnecessary delay, and reduce these propositions, with other necessary details, to the formal conditions and provisions of a contract, and will enter at once thereafter upon the obligations so undertaken. In addition to the above, but with the express understanding that it shall be considered as a separate and distinct proposition, and in no manner connect ed with the foregoing, the said Thomas Wallace and his associates will agree and guarantee to iron, equip and operate a line of railroad from Asheville to Ducktown, if the State, or the citizens interested therein, will "grade, bridge and tie" the road so projected. - Contracts for work remaining to be done shall be open to competition for the employment of the convict labor of the State, where it can properly be so employed, and UDon the same terms offered to other contractors, the said Wallace and his associates assuming no responsibility for the care or custody of the convicts while so empioyea. I bee to assure vour Excellency ana your honorable body that in submitting these propositions we are actuated ana governed solely by business considera tions, and by the openly avowed pur pose of completing a through line or railroad from the seaports of North Carolina to Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, and other commercial centres of the West and Northwest, and to connect as well with the Southern and Southwestern railway system of our country. 1 have the honor to be, respectiuuy yours, &c., George A. r itch. THE LATEST SCANDAL. Department Clerk and tlcrkcss Involved. Washington, March 22. Another scandal in official life is reported, and this time in the Postothce Department. The parties involved in the scandal are an employee of the Treasury Depart ment and a lady clerk of the Postoffice Department. The man mentioned is E. 5. Evans, chief the collecting divis ion of the sixth auditor s office, Treas ury Department. His onice is in the Postoffice Department building. , Rur mors have been flying around on 'the under current of department gossip for the past week or two. Mr. Evans is a native of Alexandria, and his name was connected with a woman scrape in that city some time ago. Deputy Audi tor Lilley says that the investigation will be thorough, and the facts will be reported He inclines to the belief, from what he knows of the case already, that the rumors and reports are unfounded. The French Crown Jewels. Some time ago there was some talk about selling the magnificent collection of diamonds forming part of the French Crown jewels. . , Th collection is valued at 40,000,000 francs, and among other treasures contains the celebrated Regent diamond, alone worth 8,000,000 francs. Loath to disperse a collection of such artistic value, yet anxious to conciliate those Republicans who wish the crown to be sold because they don't want any one to wear it, the govern ment have decided upon the following course: The Crown diamonds will be divided into three classes. 1. The hearaldic ones, having. some artistic or historical interest. These will be de- Esitedin the, Apollo Gallery of the ouvro, and among them the famous Regent. 2. The diamonds having a special mineralogical value will be sent to the Museum of Natural History, a. Those which may be considered rTfiwelrv. and of which the value 3000.000 francs, will be, funds.
